The next day, after waking up, I decided to check my phone, only to discover that yesterday's stage performance had gone viral.
Initially, it was only a few observant netizens who noticed that Tang Tang's outfit was inconsistent with those of the other members, sparking their curiosity. As more and more people joined the discussion, the situation began to escalate. Some speculated that Tang Tang had changed her outfit at the last minute for some reason, while others questioned her positioning during the performance.
As the conversation continued to grow, it ignited widespread debate online.
“Why does Tang Tang's outfit look different from everyone else's? It doesn’t even match the song; it doesn’t make sense for a group performance.”
“Why was she still standing in the C Position while Yuan Yuan was singing?”
“Why does she keep swaying when everyone else is standing still?”
A large number of netizens attempted to verify whether Tang Tang had indeed changed outfits or made a mistake in her positioning, analyzing everything from camera angles to outfit uniformity.
Tang Tang is tall and has a sweet appearance; although her skills aren’t exceptional, they are acceptable. She has gained countless fans with her vibrant persona as a lively little princess. Her online reputation was generally positive until this incident caused her popularity to decline.
However, her fans remained proactive in trying to “clarify” the situation.
“I’ve worked backstage before; how could an artist control their outfit at such events?”
“This is over-analysis; it’s just an attempt to bring her down. Tang Tang was simply nervous because it was her first time participating in such a large-scale gala.”
“When you’re famous, there’s always controversy; let’s support our Sugar Baby.”
Things escalated further when our third rehearsal video was leaked, pushing the situation to new heights. While the rehearsal seemed to clarify her positioning, it also confirmed that Tang Tang had indeed changed outfits.
“Laughing so hard; they clarified her position but ended up confirming she really did change clothes.”
“There’s no timestamp; we don’t know if this is from the final rehearsal.”
“How did a rehearsal video from the New Year Gala get leaked? Was this video obtained legally?”
Subsequently, different versions of rehearsal videos emerged, further intensifying the situation. Netizens began to argue among themselves, each holding their own opinions and stances, unwilling to yield. They continuously sought out each other's flaws and inconsistencies, attempting to overpower one another with their viewpoints and evidence, leading to a prolonged war of words.
Although Tang Tang's reputation has declined, she has managed to refine her fanbase, increasing their loyalty and successfully breaking into the mainstream. Despite the negative attention, being infamous is still a form of fame. I wonder how her company communicated with the television networks; this incident gained significant traction online, yet no one in the industry seems willing to discuss it. Truly, a testament to the power of a large company.
As time passed and no substantial evidence emerged, new trending topics began to divert public attention, and the controversy surrounding Tang Tang gradually subsided.
I never expected to become an unexpected beneficiary of this incident. Many netizens praised my outstanding performance on stage and my high level of professionalism, which took me by surprise. However, there were always dissenting voices. A small group of people firmly believed that I had meticulously orchestrated this scheme, using the opportunity to step on Tang Tang's back to elevate my own status. It’s laughable; if I had such cunning to pull off something so grand, I would have already reached the top.
Cui Can Entertainment is neither too big nor too small, but it does have several well-known artists. The company's main resources are concentrated on them and some individuals with connections. As for me, if it weren't for my luck in attracting a wave of fans through a talent show and managing to debut, I would likely be sitting in some corner doing nothing.
At the end of the month, Starlight Girl disbanded. The number of gigs I should have lost due to this event actually increased because of my rising popularity; numerous endorsements came my way, and even scripts were handed to me.
"Acting? I can't do that," I said anxiously as I looked at my agent.
"You'll learn as you go; this is your chance to transition. With your group disbanded, you won't benefit from the talent show anymore," she replied. "Even if you make some waves as a solo artist, the idol life is short-lived. When you get older, will you still be able to dance?"
Though her words made sense and her advice seemed like a perfect plan tailored for me, I still felt hesitant. I recalled a senior from our company who also came from an idol background and was once very popular on stage, adored by countless fans. However, when he transitioned to acting, things didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped.
His acting was criticized as stiff and unnatural, and after his series aired, he became the target of widespread mockery online. Clips showcasing his awkward expressions and poor acting skills were compiled by countless critique bloggers into videos that mercilessly tore him apart.
These videos have spread widely online, repeatedly mentioned as if they were endlessly whipping his failures.
Thinking of my predecessor's fate, I couldn't help but shudder. The production team for the web drama has requested to start filming next month, and with my current state, I fear I would become a laughingstock for others.
I could almost see the aunties and gossipers surrounding my mother, sharply and cruelly mocking my acting skills, critiquing me mercilessly.
“Tsk tsk, look at Yuan Yuan's acting and expressions; they're as stiff as a piece of wood!”
“Her acting is truly terrible; it’s an insult to anyone’s eyes.”
“I said long ago she wouldn’t make it; girls should just behave themselves.”
As those people attacked her, my mother's face gradually turned pale and weak. Her eyes revealed deep concern for me.
I shivered.
No, absolutely not!
