Cut the Grass and Remove the Roots!

there was one thing Lin Gege got right.

Netizens nowadays have their eyes wide open.

They can clearly see who is the villain and who is the gentleman.

Their hearts are as clear as a mirror.

The comment section of Lin Gege's Weibo was filled with enthusiastic netizens who saw through everything with sharp eyes.

"Heh, you claim to be innocent? Back then, when you talked about others' kissing scenes, you said they stuck their tongues in your mouth, and you cried so much that snot and tears were everywhere. Little old me almost believed you!"

"This woman used to claim to be a pure, innocent jade, but in reality, she's been involved with rich businessmen, played mistress, cheated, and gambled recklessly!"

"Happy Family's opening day box office was over 28 million, and it's about to hit 30 million.

The House That Never Dies had overwhelming promotion and was released at the same time as Happy Family.

Up until now, it's only grossed over 9 million. Is it leeching off your popularity?"

"Do you know who Ren Hang is? He's the Golden Warrior guarding the peace of Jianghai City. Would he lie to me?"

"And you say The House That Never Dies offers audiences great value for money? I'll charge you @#￥% for emotional distress!"

"Go to hell, give me my money back!"

"Heh, a clueless old hag. How old are you, thinking audiences will still go to the cinema to watch your movies?"

"Why didn't Granny Rong stab you to death back then?"

"The House That Never Dies is dog shit on the side of the road. It looks like shit, smells like shit. If anyone is willing to eat a bite, I can only say, I admire your courage!"

At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the suburbs of Taiwan.

Lin Gege was half-reclining on a luxurious sofa, applying a face mask and drinking tea brewed with mineral water that cost thousands of yuan per bottle.

She opened Weibo and saw the comments from netizens in the comment section.

She was furious!

Originally, she just wanted to post on Weibo to incite netizens' emotions and, at the same time, generate more buzz for The House That Never Dies.

Lin Gege hadn't received a leading role in a long time.

If The House That Never Dies failed, it would greatly impact her future career.

She didn't expect that netizens nowadays wouldn't fall for her tricks at all!

Lin Gege took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

She still had an Asprey mask on her face; getting angry would give a woman wrinkles!

Then, Lin Gege came across the comment calling her an old hag.

Damn it!

Lin Gege shot up from her seat, tore off the mask, and threw it into the trash can.

Actually, Lin Gege never cared when netizens said her acting was bad, her character was low, or her IQ was low.

Beauty was her greatest asset.

From a delinquent girl who dropped out of middle school, to a GG model, and then to a wildly popular top star.

Didn't she rely on her looks?

But now, netizens were actually calling her old and past her prime?

Lin Gege furiously tapped her phone screen, wishing she could rip the netizens' mouths apart through the screen.

She deleted the initial Weibo post that slandered Lin Chuan and others for staging their own drama.

Then, she posted a new Weibo to retort to the netizens:

[Inferior audiences don't understand high-class films and only deserve to watch those low-class movies!

And to that group of paid commenters, no matter how many negative reviews you post, it won't change the fact that The House That Never Dies is true art!]

After posting the Weibo, she closed the comment section.

Although Lin Gege closed the comment section.

The netizens' appetite for gossip did not cease.

Many netizens who didn't usually watch movies heard about Lin Gege's outburst.

They discussed it amongst themselves, finding it hard to believe:

"Wait, are you telling me this sister first slandered the audience, then insulted netizens for their lack of taste, calling those who gave negative reviews for The House That Never Dies paid commenters?

And then she locked the comment section?"

"This is definitely a self-destructing publicity stunt!"

"Ye Weiming asking her to be the lead actress, what terrible luck!"

"At least this incident made me notice the movie Happy Family, I'm already planning to go see it in theaters."

"Upstairs, please bring tissues."

At the hot pot restaurant, Lin Chuan saw the latest Weibo post from Lin Gege and put down his phone:

"The House That Never Dies is finished."

Xiao Hei also put down his phone:

"Originally, the box office growth rate for Happy Family was slowing down, which is normal. There's a limit to the number of viewers each day."

"But after Lin Gege posted on Weibo, the box office for Happy Family increased by nearly ten million."

"Right now, the real-time box office for Happy Family is 37.42 million, and the first-day box office is already approaching forty million."

Ren Hang scratched his head, finding it unbelievable:

"This Lin Gege, could she be a fan of Happy Family?"

"Otherwise, what's her motive?"

Lin Chuan took a bite of brain:

"Many people are intellectually abnormal, but can manage their daily lives, so they're treated as normal."

"This Lin Gege, after becoming famous, got carried away by the praise from those around her and lost herself long ago."

"This whole fiasco was just a coincidence that ripped the mask off her face."

Ren Hang sighed, "What goes around comes around!"

Xiao Hei continued to ask, "So, is that the end of it?"

Originally, Lin Chuan, Ren Hang, and Xiao Hei went to see a competitor's movie.

They never expected the movie to be surprisingly bad, and Ren Hang, the unlucky one, even got hit by popcorn.

But unexpectedly, with a twist of fate, a statement from the competitor's female lead on Weibo brought in a massive amount of traffic.

This, in turn, caused Happy Family, which was already leading the box office, to climb even higher.

From any perspective, this could be considered a perfect ending.

Lin Chuan shook his head, "No, this isn't over yet!"

Sensing the surprised looks from his two roommates, Lin Chuan said:

"Lin Gege posting on Weibo is like someone spitting towards me against the wind, only for the spit to be blown back onto their own face."

"Although I suffered no loss, she's the first person who dared to bare her teeth at me."

"If I don't teach her a lesson, others will think baring their teeth at me comes without consequences."

"Then, sooner or later, more people will dare to bare their teeth at me!"

Xiao Hei nodded, "So what do you plan to do?"

Lin Chuan held up two fingers:

"First, I'm going to resolve this through legal channels."

"Didn't she say the popcorn incident was staged by us?"

"Then I'll sue her for defamation and force her to issue a public apology!"

"Second, unite everyone who can be united. Didn't Lin Gege say that people who gave bad reviews to The House That Never Dies were bots?"

"Also, I saw many people who watched The House That Never Dies demanding refunds."

"I see the official Weibo for The House That Never Dies has been completely silent, with not a single reply so far."

"Since they don't dare to open this door, I will. The refunds they don't dare to give, I will give!"

"I'm going to spend six hundred thousand yuan. For any audience whose experience was tainted by The House That Never Dies, as long as they show proof of their ticket and prove they are real people, I will reimburse them for the ticket cost."

"A single punch that keeps a hundred blows at bay!"

"What I intend to do can be summarized in four words."

"Cut! Off! All! Roots!"
