SUPERSTAR ASPIRATION

Chapter 66 (Deng 'Suppression')

A small note! “Tea Accounts” are online accounts that fuel online gossip discussions. The name stems from the saying “spill the tea”, which refers to “Tell the gossip” (^u^)/. I will use “Tea Account” and “Publicity” account interchangeably (depending on the tone of the context). 

Also, LiuGuang Entertainment is being changed to “Flowing Lights Entertainment” for easier recall.

PART 1

When this Tea Account posted the phrase “Suppression”, it instantly attracted the attention of many fans.

Carrying the spirit of gossip, Netizens each left comments in the discussion area, guessing who this d little fresh meat was.

In Huaxia’s current entertainment industry, there were countless numbers of little fresh meats. As long as a newcomer was youthful and handsome, they could all be called little fresh meats. Moreover, this Tea Account that was part of the entertainment circle did not indicate whether this d little fresh meat was first-tier or second-tier. Then, according to this statement, even the eighteenth-tier transparent actor who just debuted could barely be counted as a little fresh meat.

Thus, the comments in the discussion area boiled over.

It was needless to say that the discussions on Weibo reached 5000 comments within an hour. In many major forums and Tieba, countless netizens continuously added to the discussion posts.

There were three categories of newcomer celebrity’s fans (in the discussion forum). The first was the ones who sat to the side to spectate and listen to gossip. However, these fans’ idols were not surnamed d; thus they could naturally perch on the wall and watch the spectacle with a smile. The second was the ones who endlessly searched for evidence to prove that their male gods were definitely not the kind of person who enjoyed publishing suppression news. 

But in fact, most fans belonged to the third category. They didn’t even have to guess and came to an answer immediately.

[What ‘Surnamed d Little Fresh Meat’, isn’t this just Deng ‘Suppression’ [1]? Hahahaha, Didn’t expect that the BaPo[2] would start nosying Deng ‘Suppression’. What is going on, does BaPo really want to peel off Deng ‘Suppression’s’ skin?] 

“BaPo” was this Tea Account’s nickname. Towards this sort of Tea Account, the fans didn’t hold any favorability, but neither did they hold any negative feelings.

With time, the name “Deng Yiwen” was pushed into the top ten in the trending list under the comments section of Bapo’s Weibo! That’s right, among the top ten discussions, The three words “Deng Yi Wen” were seen clearly, and some netizens even directly mockingly used his nickname: [Deng ‘Suppression’]

By now, regardless if they were ordinary fans of celebrities within the circle, or ordinary netizens, they all immediately understood.

[Ah, so it turns out everyone was talking about Deng Yiwen? Does he like to suppress?]

[Wait, Can someone tell me what ‘suppression’ means, I don’t understand yet.]

[No way, Deng Yiwen likes to publish suppression news? As part of the European circle, I haven’t paid much attention to the circle within the country (Huaxia). He’s actually so low? I had watched one of his TV dramas before and had liked him quite a bit.]
