Chapter 470: Original Film Revealed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The problem of the filming location was resolved by Xian Yu.
However, the cause of this matter was still a hidden danger.
The group of “radical” people who had been waiting outside the production team finally realized that something was wrong when they realized that they didn’t see anyone for the next few days. They didn’t even see a single member of the production team.
“There’s no one?”
Shang Rou listened to the report from the person on the other end of the phone.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and her mean face was not good-looking.
The person on the other end of the line replied, “Yes, they probably moved to another place.”
They had been squatting here for a week and had not seen a single person. Even if Bai Yi and Zhan Rong had changed routes, it was not to the extent that they couldn’t even see a single staff member, right?
After thinking about it, this was the only possibility.
“Alright, I understand.” Shang Rou ended the call coldly.
As soon as the call ended, Shang Rou’s manager happened to enter.
After the incident with the production team of “Three Thousand Realms” previously, the company had given her a new manager. The man was a lecherous person. As long as Shang Rou softened her tone and tried to please him, the other party would let her do whatever she wanted.
“What’s wrong? Why is your face so ugly?” The manager sat beside her with a smile.
Shang Rou slapped the other party’s hand away from her shoulder in frustration. “Go away. I’m not in the mood to talk to you.”
Her mind was filled with the matter with the production team of “Three Thousand Realms”.
The exposed address was naturally caused by Shang Rou.
Ever since she was kicked out of the production team and she didn’t even have a share of the supporting role, the more Shang Rou thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that the entire production team was targeting her.
If she didn’t have her way, everyone would not have their way either.
The manager wasn’t angry and reached out to hug her again. “What’s troubling you? Tell me. I’ll help you vent your anger.”
“The production team of Three Thousand Realms has moved away. I’m very annoyed.” Shang Rou snorted.
The keyword ‘Three Thousand Realms production team’ made the manager’s expression change. He raised his eyebrows and subconsciously sat up straight. He recalled what his boss had said and looked at Shang Rou with more interest.
Shang Rou continued, “In any case, they can forget about having an easy time after kicking me out.”
When she thought of the comments she had seen online saying that “Three Thousand Realms” would definitely become popular, Shang Rou felt rather upset.
Especially when she saw a fan once and heard her say regretfully, “Actually, the Three Thousand Realms production team is quite good.” Shang Rou suppressed her anger and didn’t sign an autograph for the other party.
Of course, she knew what Moon Goddess’ scripts meant to actors. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have worked so hard to fight for the position of the female lead back then.
But no matter how popular she was or how much she was liked, she had no share in the pie.
“Then what do you want to do?” the manager asked.
Hearing his question, Shang Rou looked hesitant. “…I have an original video that has just been filmed.”
Her indecisive attitude was revealed on Shang Rou’s face. She wanted to expose this video, but she was afraid.
“Afraid of breaching the contract?” The manager saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Even if Shang Rou was no longer on set, she couldn’t leak anything related to it. There was indeed an original video. If it was leaked, she would definitely be investigated.
Although she was a celebrity, Shang Rou was not one of the top celebrities. Naturally, she didn’t have that much money to compensate for the breach of contract.
Shang Rou was unwilling, but she still nodded in admission.
“That’s easy.” The manager smiled. “Leave this to me. You just have to release it.”
As the manager spoke, he made a promise and his hand wandered down Shang Rou’s arm.
The meaning was obvious.
When Shang Rou saw this, she didn’t know if she should resist or be happy that she wouldn’t lose money. She could only smile ingratiatingly and take the initiative to cater to the other party.
“The resources you promised me last time—” She hinted something.
The manager was anxious and replied quickly, “We’ll do it tomorrow.”
After receiving an answer, Shang Rou was relieved, and the hypocritical smile on her face became more genuine.
She was no longer the same as before. The incident with the production team had also affected Shang Rou greatly, so she had no choice but to use this method to obtain more resources.
However, thinking about how the production team had been tortured by her, Shang Rou couldn’t help but feel happy.
A week after the production team moved away from their original address, the peace that only lasted a few days away was broken again.
This time, it was not harassment. Instead, a blogger on the Internet leaked a video of the male and female leads in the beginning of the “Three Thousand Realms”.
It was not the kind that lasted a few minutes, but nearly 15 minutes. Moreover, it was edited and was clearly ready to be broadcasted.
Not to mention the title, anyone who paid attention to the upcoming drama “Three Thousand Realms” would naturally recognize what it was.
“Although it’s good, why do I feel that they’re not as good-looking as I thought? These two don’t look like they’re compatible as the male and female leads at all. Am I the only one who thinks so?”
“Me too, and the female lead’s acting skills… Ahem, those who understand will know what I’m talking about.”
Soon, comments appeared, causing a commotion.
“Three Thousand Realms” was originally the center of popularity. However, during this period of time, it had been immersed in filming and didn’t make much noise. Over time, everyone had forgotten a lot. However, when the video was released, it made everyone gather together like a swarm of bees.
“So no one cares how this video was leaked???”
“Who cares? It just so happens that we can help the director take a look at the problem. In my opinion, we should change the actors now. We can even stop the losses in time. The script is a good script, but the actors, tsk.”
“I’m a fan of Moon Goddess, but I have to say that the clip of the two of them in the video is indeed not as stunning as in the novel. It’s just… quite ordinary.”
Many people appeared to complain, most of them latching on to the complaints about the actors.
Among them, there was naturally the fake reviews hired by Shang Rou.
Even Director Liu Cheng’s reputation in the industry couldn’t shake the negative flow of the comments. The first two remakes of Murong Qiao’s books were also popular. Not only did she gain fans, but Fearless and Wulin Universe had also collected a large number of fans. Naturally, they couldn’t be attacked.
The firepower naturally focused on the not-so-famous Bai Yi and the male lead, Zhan Rong.

The speed at which it became a trending topic was unexpected, and Bai Yi also entered the eyes of many people in such a strange way.
Wherever there was popularity, there would be marketing opportunities.
In less than half a day, this video was pushed to the top of the trending searches and became known to more people.
“Compared to An Nuo, this actress is far inferior. Did Director Liu Cheng get paid to use her??? Otherwise, why would he choose such an unknown actress to be the main character?”
“Indeed, I remember that Moon Goddess should have been around when the casting was selected. Were these two blinded by money?”
“Her acting skills are quite bad, and her face is not much better-looking. Perhaps it’s my aesthetic taste.”
Most people followed the crowd blindly. Even if they had their own thoughts, after reading many comments, they couldn’t help but wonder if they were right. Then, they joined the torrent of loud voices and became an “innocent” snowflake in the avalanche.
When Shang Rou found out that she didn’t have to worry about paying the compensation for the breach of contract, she even spent a sum of money to hire a ghostwriter to guide the comments without any heartache.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire comments section and the super comments section couldn’t be said to be good.
When Murong Qiao returned to Hui University for class, even the surrounding students were discussing this matter.
“Did you see the leaked video of Three Thousand Realms? I feel that those two actors have ruined Director Liu Cheng.”
“I originally wanted to watch it, but I can’t look forward to it anymore. I keep feeling that when it comes out, it’ll be no different from those lousy online dramas.”
“Forget it, forget it. I heard that there’s another drama being filmed recently..
Why don’t we follow that…”
