Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 982 - 971: Best Actor

"A solitary person with no agency and no backing, but justice is in people’s hearts. Thank you, Director Li, for trusting me!" With online rumors swirling fiercely, Ye Qiu posted this message along with a selfie of himself with Director Li, the producer, the screenwriter, and the original author.

Because they had faith in him, they believed their judgment wasn’t flawed, so they all followed and reposted his Weibo, saying nothing more than: Welcome, Young Master Yan Xin!

This really stirred up a hornet’s nest. Young Master Yan Xin? Did they really see it right?

Those who hadn’t read the original novel had big question marks in their minds. What’s going on here?

However, the person reposting seemed to be the famous Director Li Gao. Could it be that Ye Qiu is about to play an important role in Director Li Gao’s new series?

Director Li Gao is not only famous in the industry, but since all his series have been hits, he’s attracted quite a fan base as well. Everyone is eagerly awaiting what series he will shoot next, though there hasn’t been any news about a new series lately.

But since Ye Qiu himself confirmed it online, it couldn’t be fake, so everyone started to get excited while having a big question mark in their hearts. Director Li Gao had never shown such favoritism to anyone before, does Ye Qiu have something special?

So when they searched, they were taken aback to find such a handsome and charismatic young man in the entertainment industry. How come they hadn’t noticed?

They thought the photos might have been edited, but upon closer inspection of his photo with Director Li Gao, they realized it hadn’t been beautified at all. Even the freckles on Director Li Gao’s face were clearly visible, and Ye Qiu looked even better than in previously edited photos.

What kind of godly handsome guy is this? The photographers who took his pictures before must have been less than amateur!

Those who hadn’t read the original novel were feeling hopeful, but those who had were even more thrilled.

A few days ago, Jiu Da, the author known as October Ninth, mentioned some other work would soon give book fans a surprise. They never expected this to be it!

Is "Emperor Jiang" really going to start filming? And the director is the famous Director Li Gao?

Just hearing the name Li Gao, they knew this adaptation wouldn’t become a bizarre mix like other novel adaptations. However, they were still very concerned about the casting of the main characters.

And to their surprise, the first finalized role was that of Young Master Yan Xin, a character they considered the hardest to cast.

Young Master Yan Xin is the immortal character in the hearts of book fans. Most readers believed no one in the world could capture even a third of his essence, yet the role had already been cast before they realized it.

Book fans instinctively objected and flocked to Weibo and the comments under the original novel to protest. Only after their protests did they finally have time to find out who Ye Qiu is.

What to say?

The first glance was stunning, but inwardly they were somewhat reassured that at least his looks were acceptable. Yet, the critical eyes of book fans were still not quick to acknowledge him.

So they turned to watch Ye Qiu’s previous videos and his one and only web drama, and they couldn’t stop watching.

They internally admitted two points: at least his acting wasn’t bad, but that didn’t mean they acknowledged Ye Qiu had the capability to portray Young Master Yan Xin.

Both sides held a mix of anticipation and doubt, undoubtedly bringing Ye Qiu even more attention. However, netizens started having suspicions about Ye Qiu being deliberately attacked in recent days.

"Ye Qiu has been criticized intensely recently, only for today to explode news of his upcoming role in Director Li’s new series. Allow my mind to wander into dark places; isn’t this a bit suspicious?"

"If there’s no intrigue, it would be a ghost indeed. Everyone has their eyes on Director Li’s new series. I just checked Ye Qiu’s background, and he truly has no agency, nor is his family immensely wealthy or famous. How could he oppress his peers? Isn’t that fellow being heavily promoted by the company these days with a tacky idol drama?"

"He probably crossed someone with influence. If he really had backing, wouldn’t he have already taken measures against being so vilified these past days?"

"I wanted to say yesterday there are signs of Water Army involvement, afraid of being scolded, I’ll sneakily say it today."

"It’s definitely the Water Army, do they think netizens are fools?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Seeing Director Li and Jiu Da supporting him like this, I believe Ye Qiu isn’t that kind of person."

"With videos and photos out there, can it still be fake?"

"To the commenter above, videos and photos can be faked. And even if Ye Qiu went to a bar, so what? We’re all adults here, and he was alone, the woman approached him herself. They chatted briefly and then parted; what kind of evidence is that?"

"How naive, I don’t believe any male star would just drink at such a place and do nothing else."

"Talking in circles about just this one issue, is there any other evidence?"

"Isn’t the video evidence enough? My Wen Xi must’ve had terrible luck to be in a group with someone like this."

"Exactly, my Qiao Young Master is the true earthly beauty, those stealing the spotlight should get out of the entertainment industry."

"Ye Qiu Ugly Ghost, get out Ye Qiu."

"This thread is a goner, the brainless fans are here, scatter, scatter."

"The one above went too far, you can criticize Ye Qiu for other things, but comparing looks? Who can match up to Ye Qiu?"

"Ugly freak, if you’re brave enough, show us your own picture."

"Exactly, taking my Qiao Young Master away is non-negotiable."

"It’s really laughable, you came in here talking nonsense yourselves, kids should do their homework instead of wandering around forums?"

"Even without studying, I have more money than you’ll earn in a lifetime. Bite me if you dare!"

Because of Qiao Wenxi’s idol drama airing, despite its brainless plot, it actually attracted some naive elementary students. A decent discussion forum suddenly turned into a mess, annoying many young people, but unexpectedly gave Ye Qiu a surge in followers.

Because of this chaos, controversies surrounding Ye Qiu increased, with debates over his looks, his charisma, and his acting skills, while debates about his character fell to a lower focus.

Ye Qiu smirked at this chaos. For now, he didn’t have the works to really go head-to-head with Qiao Wenxi and Zhu Li. Otherwise, it would make Qiao Wenxi even more awkward, more questioned, and more disliked. However, because there were many people involved, the attention would soon die down. He didn’t need to worry but should focus on acting well in his projects.

In the future, once he had the confidence, he could overturn today’s damage and present it as a joke, which would seem more credible.

Li Ge didn’t want any more involvement with Ye Qiu, but unexpectedly, upon opening the internet, it was full of news about him, making it unavoidable to see.
