Ch32 - Happy Clothes

The next day, posts mocking Zhao Junnan sprang up in various forums. Zhao Junnan was accused of being old and invisible. Once he finally became popular, he was ugly. There were also taunts that Zhao Junnan was raising his price.

“Weren’t Zhao Junnan’s fans bragging about how many top fashion brands their artist was going to win every day? It is a pity that the brand side directly said they didn’t intend to cooperate with your artist.” 

“A pure passerby, embarrassed and silently blushing for Zhao fans.

“Oh, I had long guessed that this villain Zhao Junnan would capsize. I just hadn’t expected him to capsize so fast. Since his performance in Heroic Ruler became popular, his team bought articles every day. Fortunately, he isn’t a woman. If he is a woman then he would crush the entire entertainment circle.”

“Upstairs didn’t see a report a few days ago about a male artist so charming that there are no female artists. I went in to take a look and almost blinded myself. The Zhao fans made him into a woman and compared the beauty to a group of female artists.”

“Zhao Junnan’s publicity team is really arrogant. I just want to know the mood of the fans of the female artists he was compared to.” 

“The victims’ mood is very unstable. Their female artist is a fairy. What type of devil is Zhao Junnan to crush their female artist?”

This was the first time that Zhao Junnan had been ridiculed by the entire Internet since he became popular. He was so angry that he became furious with the public relations employees, feeling that their ability was too low.

“Brother Nan, looking at today’s attitude, there should be several parties taking advantage of you.” The publicity assistant appeased Zhao Junnan’s mood. “Let’s keep a low profile for a while. Film with ease and it will be fine after some time.”

Other insiders knew that he had been stood up by three brands. There was no way to endure the ridicule apart from lying down. In this situation, it was more useful to keep a low profile than respond. An actor should talk with their work.

“After a while?” Zhao Junnan was raging. “After some time, all the drama fans of Heroic Ruler will be gone. How can I acquire fixed fans?”

“Brother Nan, your drama has good word of mouth. It is unlike the online dramas performed by Li Zhao who will only attract some temporary fans at most. You have both strength and resources. You don’t have to think about the follow-up development at all. What are you worried about?”

What was he worried about?

Zhao Junnan slumped in his chair because no one knew better than him how terrible it was to fall from a high to low place. The producers and directors who he once fraternized with turned their faces one by one. His fans left one after another. At first, some people mocked him for his decline but later, no one even mocked him. 

Everyone seemed to forget him. Even if he didn’t wear glasses or a mask, no one recognized him. In order to win roles, he drank until he vomited and endured the eyes of the younger generation of new artists.

He became popular at the age of 18 and thoroughly ignored at the age of 25. Today, he was 35 years old and finally rose. Fans praised him for his youth and good looks but years of drinking and smoking had made his skin terrible.
