Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 230 The Mad Smear Campaign by Haters!
However, Zhou Yang still decided to decline: "I'm sorry, director, this is not for money. I will be busy filming a movie soon and will not be able to spare the time. I'm really sorry."

"Okay, then I look forward to your joining next season." The director hung up the phone regretfully.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to rest, the phone rang again.

Are you saying I can't rest again?

Zhou Yang answered the phone and found that it was Zhang Jingyi calling. His expression changed.

"Hey, honey, why did you suddenly call me?" Zhou Yang asked affectionately.

"Hmph! I saw you holding hands with Fatty Di on TV, and she even touched your head. You didn't even dodge! You two are really going too far!" Zhang Jingyi was so angry she was about to go crazy.

Seeing Zhou Yang and Fat Diwen together, Zhang Jingyi felt like a cabbage that had been rooted up by a pig.

"Indeed, women are most terrifying when they're jealous," Zhou Yang thought to himself.

But for him, this meant nothing!
He's an expert at comforting girls.

"Haha, why does it smell so sour? Did someone spill their vinegar jar?"

"I'm on a variety show, so it's normal to have some physical contact with the guests. I'm a grown man, I can't be a sore loser, can I?"

"Well, you have a point."

"Anyway, you have a lot of pretty girls around you now, but I'm not bad either. Even if you like someone else, I'll still be the one who's the best!"

When is it big?
Zhou Yang was stunned, completely taken aback.

But he's not that kind of man.

three days later.

The highly anticipated drama series "The Longest Day in Chang'an" will finally hit the screen.

In order to attract more attention, Zhou Yang carefully promoted himself on Weibo.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' is about to meet everyone. Nine years of war, ten years of bravery, daring to face storms and bravely breaking through difficulties, with only the hope of peace and well-being for the people! #Image#"

Below is a promotional poster.

In the center of the poster, Zhou Yang is half-turned to face the camera, his eyes sharp and his brows furrowed, revealing his inner wildness, while at his feet is the burning city of Chang'an.

Zhou Yang's fans had been eagerly awaiting his Weibo post, and within seconds, the comment section was flooded with their messages.

"Finally, we've got Zhang Xiaojing! The best Zhou Yang, the best Zhang Xiaojing ever."

"Oh my god, Yang is so handsome! His eyes made me feel teary-eyed!"

"I really like his fierce gaze!"

"In less than a minute, there were already over a thousand comments. Do you guys live in the comments section?"

"Brother Yang is so popular, do you have a problem with that? If you do, then get lost!"

"Brother Yang's fans are almost seven million. The growth rate is amazing and it really scares me."

"..."

Because of the immense popularity of "The Myth," which led to the embarrassment of "Sweet Combat" and Lu Han, Lu Han's fans had long harbored resentment towards Zhou Yang.

Upon seeing Zhou Yang's fans praising his popularity, Lu Han's fans immediately went to the comments section to mock him.

"Haha, this is so funny, Zhou Yang's fans are so cute."

"Popularity? Come and learn about Brother Lu. He once broke the Guinness World Record with a single Weibo post that averaged less than one word."

"Seven million followers is nothing. Lu Han has over sixty million followers. You should know that."

"You guys are going too far. Comparing Brother Lu to a sixth-tier celebrity is practically mocking him."

"Haha, sisters, let's go, let's give them a warning."

"..."

Looking at the fans in the comments section, Zhou Yang didn't even have the urge to criticize them.

One hundred million comments?

Weibo has a total of 300 million users, and if you remove those who have uninstalled the app and those who are zombie followers, the number is less than 100 million.

Every Weibo user is leaving a comment on Lu Han's Weibo posts? That's utter nonsense. It's clearly inflated by paid trolls. Only fans of young, popular celebrities would treasure such useless, fabricated data.

For example, Cai Xukun, who has recently become very popular, has a Weibo post that has been forwarded over 10 billion times, which is even more impressive than Lu Han's number of forwards.

Others might say these are comments boosted by fans, but even with billions of reposts, there are only 100 million real users. Only those stupid fans would believe this is real data.

However, when Zhou Yang clicked on the Weibo trending topics list, he finally discovered the reason why Lu Han's fans were attacking him.

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Yang's lips.

"I previously said that these fans attacked me for no reason, it turns out it's because the web series 'The Lost Tomb' starring Lu Han premiered today."

The top spot on Weibo's trending topics list is currently occupied by a popular topic.

After three years of seclusion, Lu Han successfully portrayed the most authentic Wu Xie.

After Zhou Yang clicked on the link, he found that it was all marketing accounts promoting "The Lost Tomb" and praising Lu Han's dedication and excellent acting skills.

Zhou Yang was amused by one of the messages.

According to a staff member, Lu Han was extremely dedicated during the filming of "The Lost Tomb." He performed all his own stunts, except for action scenes, refusing to use a stunt double.

This is hilarious. Besides action scenes, what other scenes require a stunt double?

Acting is an actor's responsibility, so when did it become something to be praised for?
Zhou Yang glanced at the Weibo trending topics list and found that among the top ten, only one was related to "The Longest Day in Chang'an", while three were related to Lu Han and five were related to "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

"As expected, it's that legendary stingy production crew," Zhou Yang muttered to himself.

……

Finally, it was 8 PM.

Zhou Yang had already logged into Youku Video and immediately clicked to watch the first episode of "The Longest Day in Chang'an".

Zhou Yang was nervous. This was his first leading role in a TV series in two years. He was willing to invest everything he had and could only succeed; failure was not an option!

To Zhou Yang's surprise, the screen was already flooded with comments as soon as the opening song started playing.

"I'm really looking forward to Yang Ge's portrayal of Zhang Xiaojing."

"I came here for Brother Yang."

"I believe in Brother Yang's acting skills!"

"Fans of the original work hope that it won't be ruined."

"I only want to see the role played by Yi Xi."

"..."

Zhou Yang was happy, as the vast majority of the audience had come for him.

It's worth noting that when "The Myth" premiered, most viewers were there to see him get criticized.

However, the next moment, Zhou Yang's smile froze on his face.

Haters may be late, but they'll never be absent.

"Zhou Yang has acting skills? Pure exaggeration!"

"Brother Lu's acting skills are better than his. 'The Lost Tomb' is currently airing on iQiyi. Thank you for watching."

"I just came here after watching 'The Lost Tomb'. Zhou Yang's acting skills are obviously not as good as Lu Ge's."

"The Lost Tomb is truly a high-quality drama!"

"..."

Zhou Yang was somewhat puzzled. The fact that the haters had moved to other platforms to attack him had lowered his expectations of the lowest level of haters.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang's fans remained steadfast and unmoved by these haters, even believing that the haters were praising Zhou Yang.

At this point, the opening theme song finished playing, and the main feature began.

The opening sequence showcased the cityscape of Chang'an, lasting for over a minute.
