Chapter 19: Regeneration
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Just as Han Jing said, entertainment agencies disliked actors who allowed themselves to be bullied, but they detested actors who caused trouble and were unable to solve them on their own.
For a young girl who had not debuted but wished to become famous overnight, Yun Xiangxiang experienced it before and understood it. After all, Qin Yue was the first choice for Yang Qi.
Not to mention that it was unknown if she would get the same results if she starred. Maybe not, or maybe it could have been better. That’s why it was human nature that she would feel imbalance psychologically and want to try and get some attention when she saw Yun Xiangxiang getting a little famous.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mind her doing so. A twenty year-old young lady wasn’t fully mature yet. If she knew when to stop and create a win-win situation, Yun Xiangxiang was willing to be leave her be.
Too bad she was too greedy. While she was boasting herself, she also plotted to ruin Yun Xiangxiang, dragging her through the mud.
Then, it wasn’t Yun Xiangxiang’s fault for being cruel!
She hadn’t even brought any profit for the company, yet she had already embarrassed them. This would make her status in the company very tenuous.

However she wouldn’t necessarily be cast aside. After all, Qin Yue was very beautiful. Her actions clearly showed her ambition. As long as she was willing, it was easy to rely on her youth and appearance to succeeded.
It all depended on what she chose for herself.
Soon, Changsheng Media responded to this.
[Changsheng Media V: Our company’s actor, Qin Yue retired due to injury, there was no role snatching involved. We hope all netizens would put more care on “Caring Love” as Sister Yang Qi performed well @actor Yun Xiangxiang]
Changsheng Media not only clarified the rumors quickly, but they also publicised Qin Yue’s medical diagnosis. Also, they were generously promoting “Caring Love”. This won over the good graces of many netizens.
The doubts on the internet dissipated thereafter. Even the “Caring Love” crew had to accept the courtesy and expressed their gratitude.
Then, Qin Yue also learned to be smarter.
[Qin Yue V: “Caring Love” is great. I also went to watch it in the Cinema. Everyone, please do support them {❤️} {film ticket stub JPG}]
Everyone saw that Qin Yue’s ticket stub showed the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the discussion online wasn’t posted by Qin Yue herself. However, people who have used Weibo for a long time knew that it wasn’t impossible for Qin Yue to start the chaos, but what business did they have with it? They were only spectators. Since both sides calmed down, they could only leave.
The box office for “Caring Love” on the second day increased to ten million. There were also no more negative news about Yun Xiangxiang stealing roles online.
Soon it was the Lantern Festival and Yun Xiangxiang went back to school. In fifteen days “Caring Love” had already broken through the six hundred million mark. There was still half a month left. At this rate, everyone felt that “Caring Love” was unlikely to reach one billion.
There were two big films above them. One had already exceeded one billion, and another was about to hit eight hundred million. “Caring Love” occupied the first place of the word-of-mouth.
Right at this time, there was another post against “Caring Love” again. It was a Weibo Post posted by a blogger with thirty thousand followers.
The content of the post was directed to “Caring Love” being deceitful using the excuse of education to promote highschoolers having a relationship. It was clearly spreading negative energy, and yet people were taking it as an embodiment of justice. The Weibo content was as follows:
[Hope for a Beautiful World V: The film circle this year has an unexpected appearance. It is outstanding out of so many films. Even though it isn’t the top on the list, it attracted a lot of attention. It is said to be done on a small budget, so compared to the other two higher grossing films in the box office, it is the winner.
I went to watch it out of curiosity. First of all, I won’t deny that these minor actors are really impressive. Although they are not matured yet, one flaw doesn’t hide the splendor of jade.
Following next is the plot. I found that the majority of the viewers are high school students. A lot of them related their own youth to the helplessness of the protagonist. However the most discussed topic is the love between the male and female protagonist. They believed that the tragedy was caused by the parents forcing their children as well as the coldness of the school that heavily valued studies.
At the time, my heart was chilled to the core listening to these discussions. It seems the reason “Caring Love” becomes trendy is due to its nature in venting out the grievances in the heart of high school students, and their silent protest towards the high hopes that parents and school put on them. Is this the theme the film is trying to promote?
A few days ago, I heard a dispute between a father and his daughter. I wondered in my heart. Why would a model family that was praised by the community, and a mature and well behaved child, have such a fierce dispute with her parents? It was until the child slammed the door and shouted, “You should watch “Caring Love!” Are you going to be happy only after you pushed me to the edge?”
Then I saw the father who powerlessly sat on the sofa with tears streaming down his face. His body seemed cold as if the cold rose from the soles of his feet.
I really wanted to know how many children this popular film influenced; how many family disputes it caused. Is it really a film that spreads positive energy? At the end of the film, it wrote, “Please give your children the care and love they need”. If we followed everything according to the needs of the child, isn’t it just championing pampering your kids?]
At the end of the article, he tagged the educational institution, Radio and Television Bureau, Zhou Wei and all the lead actors.
Due to the tags of the blogger, the post received a lot of attention once it was posted. There were people that supported the blogger and followed what he said; there were also people who were against the statement; there were people who accused others; there were also those who were causing chaos. The divisiveness of the post drove it to become more and more popular.
Since he was tagged, and it was regarding his film, Zhou Wei couldn’t pretend he didn’t see it. He quickly posted on Weibo.
[Zhou Wei V: I heard a ridiculous story a long time ago. The story is about a very addicted smoker who became terminally ill because he was heavily smoking. He tried to kill the doctor after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The person who told me this story asked me: Do you know why he wanted to kill the doctor? My first reaction was, he hated the doctor for being unable to save him? The storyteller smiled and said to me: No, he hated the doctor for telling him he was terminally ill. At the time, I felt very unbelievable and shocked.
It is only today that I realize that many people would rather deceive themselves and live with a poisonous tumor than admitting that they have a poisonous tumor. Once it is identified, all fault lies on the messenger. What do you think? @ Hope for a beautiful world]
Zhou Wei’s comeback woke many people up. Even those who supported the blogger gradually became silent. However, there were still many people who were stubborn.
[Although there are problems with the blogger themselves, “Caring Love” still led people in the wrong direction. It should be taken down.]
[“Caring Love” is too biased with feelings. Compared to the parents’ reflection, it is obvious that the highschool students related more to it.]
[“Caring Love” that has been viewed by high school students, is used by them to justify their frivolous puppy loves. The negative ramifications of this outweigh the positive.]
Such remarks were endless. There were not marketing account. These were the thoughts of real netizens.
