Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 214 Many people hate me, who do you think you are?

These commonly used words have been ruined by those young male celebrities.

Zhou Yang: Don't worry, my husband isn't much better than someone with a thick skin. If he makes me angry, I'll give them a good dressing down, you believe me?

Zhang Jingyi: Haha, stop talking and go check Weibo, you're already trending.

Actress Zhou Yang: Okay, let's talk again tomorrow. You can focus on preparing for the college entrance exam.

Zhang Jingyi: Okay, hehe, love you!
Zhou Yang shook his head. Even a goddess, when in love, is just like any other woman.

He logged out of WeChat and opened Weibo.

"We strongly urge the director to show the trailer featuring Zhou Yang's emasculated scenes."

"I support it. I just want to see what he looks like after being castrated."

Which TV series are you talking about?

"In the movie 'The Myth,' starring Hu Ge, Zhou Yang plays the main villain and also has scenes where he is castrated."

"Does it look good?"

"Zhou Yang, how come he's back in the entertainment industry? Didn't he just criticize those young heartthrobs for acting? How come he's changed his mind now?"

"So, this kid is a hypocrite!"

"Of course it's good, much better than 'Sweet Combat' starring Lu Han."

"Thank you. Please don't belittle Brother Lu. Brother Lu's acting skills can withstand everyone's scrutiny. The fact that he was ranked number one in ratings during the same period is well-deserved."

"..."

Some people even frantically followed the topic of "when will Zhou Yang be castrated," and the number of fans in the super topic instantly exceeded 100,000, and it is still growing.

Zhou Yang discovered it.

He seems to have sparked a new point of public attention—everyone is speculating when Zhou Yang will be castrated.

This made Zhou Yang feel a little uncomfortable; he felt like the whole world was coveting his testicles.

However, this also served as free advertising for the TV series, and more and more people began to know about it.

Over the next few days, the plot advanced the storyline of Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao, and the story became increasingly exciting.

Zhou Yang's outstanding acting skills, in particular, perfectly portrayed the tragedy of Gao Yao, a nobody, which resonated with most of the audience.

In episode 9, what was truly surprising was that when Gao Yao faced difficulties, even fans who had always been hostile towards Zhou Yang felt sorry for him.

"Oh my god! I can't hold back anymore, why is it always the good guys who get hurt!"

"That's right, Yi Xiaochuan is living a carefree life over there, while Gao Yao is struggling to survive and even getting hurt. It's just too tragic!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to send the screenwriter razor blades!"

"To be honest, Zhou Yang's acting was so outstanding that it broke my heart to watch it."

"..."

However, before Zhou Yang was castrated, Jiang Jiajun brought good news.

The viewership rating for episode 9 reached 3.9%!

It successfully surpassed "Sweet Combat" starring Lu Han and topped the ratings chart.

Leading the pack with its reputation, it made a powerful comeback!

On Weibo, the heated discussion about Zhou Yang's alleged castration was replaced by discussions about his acting skills. When the TV series aired the scene where Gao Yao became Zhao Gao and confronted Yi Xiaochuan, viewers were completely astonished.

On the television screen, Zhao Gao reached the top of the steps, then abruptly turned around, pointed to the sky, and roared...

"I want to be Zhao Gao, I want to be the highest Zhao Gao, I want to be Zhao Gao who is second only to the emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the audience members were stunned and speechless, as if their minds and bodies had been touched by a tremendous force.

It's as if I'm seeing the real Zhao Gao from history!
"This acting is amazing! I'm completely in awe!"

"Zhao Gao was portrayed so realistically!"

"That's amazing! For a moment, I thought he was Zhao Gao himself!"

"It's so shocking! Although I'm a fan of Brother Hu, Zhou Yang's aura actually overshadowed Brother Hu's."

"The character Yi Xiaochuan is really annoying. If it weren't for Hu Ge playing the role, I would definitely complain about it."

"He may not be the best in other aspects, but his feelings for Yi Xiaochuan are truly impeccable!"

"..."

Looking at the comments on the screen, Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that "The Myth" was a hit!
The final result did not disappoint Zhou Yang.

Jiang Jiajun quickly announced the good news in the WeChat group: the ratings for this episode were phenomenal, reaching 7.3%, making it the highest-rated single episode of a TV series in the past decade.

In the following days, the reputation of Shinhwa continued to rise, everything went smoothly, and the ratings steadily climbed.

At this point, a small incident occurred.

As the ratings for "The Myth" climbed, the ratings for "Sweet Combat," starring Lu Han and broadcast on Jiangsu TV, also continued to rise. Lu Han's fans began comparing the two dramas and argued endlessly.

They believe that Zhou Yang's rise poses a threat to Lu Han.

There aren't many dramas featuring newly emerging young male stars, so once a newcomer rises to prominence, it will inevitably impact the established young male stars.

However, they didn't know that Zhou Yang currently only wants to pursue the path of an acting talent, and let whoever wants to be a pretty boy be one.

Less than two days later, a reporter exposed that "Sweet Combat" had bought ratings, which aroused condemnation from the entire internet.

"Sigh, even I, a hater of Zhou Yang, am laughing my head off. Fans of that young heartthrob surnamed Lu, don't you feel the sting of your faces?"

"Anyway, everyone around me is watching 'The Myth,' and nobody watches 'Sweet Combat,' so I knew long ago that there was a problem with the ratings."

"Slap, slap, slap! That was a really loud slap! Yesterday you were clamoring to have a competition, and today you've been exposed for buying ratings. Doesn't that hurt your face?"

"Even I, a professional-level hater of Zhou Yang, am not as crazy as these young idol fans. I deserve to be proven wrong."

……

Three days later, "The Myth" came to a perfect end, with an average viewership rating of 13%, breaking the viewership record for TV dramas in the past decade.

Hu Ge, who played the lead role, immediately posted a celebratory Weibo post.

"#Actor Hu Ge: After three months of perseverance, it has finally paid off! The TV series 'The Myth' has set a new viewership record in nearly ten years and has become a hot topic of conversation! This is our shared myth! However, as the lead actor, I seem to have been overshadowed by your brilliance, and some people are even questioning why I always target you. I hate you! @Actor Zhou Yang #Smirking (emoji)#"

Lao Hu's Weibo post was quickly reposted by Zhou Yang.

"#There are plenty of people who hate me, who do you think you are? @Brother Hu. Haha, just kidding with Brother Hu. The success of this drama is inseparable from everyone's joint efforts. Every actor and staff member is the best! Finally, I hope everyone can stop being prejudiced and get to know me again. I'm not just a popular internet celebrity, I'm also an actor. #"

The interaction between Lao Hu and Zhou Yang sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Some haters have been looking for an opportunity to attack, and Zhou Yang has become their target.
