The cast of Song Zhixing's new film, "New Life," had been finalized.
The official account announced every cast member on Weibo.
Unsurprisingly, related topics dominated almost all the trending searches that day.
Xu Shi lay on the couch, munching on an apple as he clicked through the trending topics for gossip.
"Who's the Male Lead? I've never heard of him before."
"I remember Wen Yu auditioned for the Male Lead too. He actually beat Wen Yu?"
"Wen Yu is the sole protagonist, okay~"
"Still searching for who Xu Shi is? An undergraduate at a prestigious British university, the only laid-back kitty in Chinese entertainment, with a soft, sweet personality that brings you happiness..."
"?"
Xu Shi saw that last comment under every post. The fan's username was "Only Shi Above All."
He alone was diligently promoting Xu Shi.
Could this be a paid commenter the studio had hired?
"Do you know who this is?" Xu Shi asked Xiao Chi, who stood by the door.
"Hold on." Xiao Chi had just picked up the delivery and handed him a cup of coffee. "Let me see."
He leaned over. "Oh, this is our only major fan. He handles a lot of the engagement stats all by himself. He even paid for a hundred thousand virtual screening bookings for a drama where you played the third male lead."
"Holy shit..." Xu Shi was so stunned that he took a long time to recover. "Someone actually likes me this much?"
He had always thought that, as a vicious cannon-fodder character, he could only be invisible in this world.
[Someone really is this good to me. Sob...]
[Xie Yanci, get the hell out of my way!]
