Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 917 - 433: One Wave Has Not Subsided

It’s been a week since "Travelogue" went abroad for recording.

That night, a gossip-loving marketing account leaked online, claiming that a certain travel show member involved in the abroad recording had a fallout, publicly arguing on the street of Siland, with a certain actress threatening to quit the show.

Though no names were mentioned, everyone knew it referred to "Travelogue."

The show is extremely popular, and the leak immediately attracted attention.

– It must be Sun Qianqian causing trouble again, even actress Zhou Qing can’t stand her anymore. Why must such a troublemaker be in a feel-good show?

– I heard it was Shen You’an, the tour guide couldn’t do their job well, angering the actress. They’re too young and emotionally immature. Choosing the two youngest as tour guides was the biggest mistake in the show.

– Sun Qianqian is straightforward and offends people easily, which is rare in the entertainment industry. She’s honest, doesn’t play games, but doesn’t everyone think Shen You’an is too fake? She’s nothing but show-off, flaunting her knowledge everywhere. Just study well in school, don’t meddle in the entertainment industry; be careful not to get overwhelmed by greed.

– Finally, someone who thinks alike, handshake. I felt from the beginning that Shen You’an comes across as scheming, unlike a girl her age, always clinging to Rong Xianning with childhood romance gossip, so shameless, who knows how many marketing stunts she’s bought. I really worry about Brother Rong, she’s stuck to him like glue that can’t be shaken off, and now she’s chasing into the show too, Brother Rong’s fans must be really annoyed.

– Zhou Qing was a standout of her generation, fighting to emerge from a pool of big stars, her grand slam as an actress speaks for itself. She’s here to boost everyone else, if she’s dissatisfied, it must be someone else’s fault.

– I noticed during the live stream, she really targets Sun Qianqian, not even pretending. She bullied her way into the group at first, squeezing Sun Qianqian out, adding a ton of scenes for herself out of nowhere, making a minor role outshine the lead. Is this normal? Sun Qianqian is really the one wronged, and she’s still being blamed, worse than Dou E.

– Shen You’an must have had surgery. Her classmates leaked on forums that she was plain-looking in elementary and middle school, I refuse to believe her current face is natural.

– Her acting isn’t that great either, are people all unfamiliar with excellence? She’s praised to the sky, how much marketing budget did she pay for this?

– Shen You’an, get out of the entertainment industry.

With the leak, the internet started smearing Shen You’an, initially probing, then unabashedly slandering and cursing. Gossiping netizens believe anything, lack independent thinking, and were led blindly to ultimately push #Shen You’an, get out of the entertainment industry onto the trending list.

Conversely, Sun Qianqian’s fan community was full of grievances for her, praising her straightforwardness being misunderstood, highlighting her good nature and numerous hidden charities.

Everyone eventually realized Sun Qianqian bought water army to blacken Shen You’an and whitewash herself, using charity to redeem her reputation.

But Shen You’an has been wildly popular over the past month, drawing too much envy, so people seized the chance to kick her while she’s down, trying to crush her before she’s established in entertainment. Hence, more and more forces joined in blackening her, led by fans of Rong Xianning and Chen Shucheng, assisted by other female act teams, intent on silencing her before she could rise.

Zhao Heng saw so many principal forces blacken Shen You’an online and was furious, but recalling the leader’s words before leaving, couldn’t help but be impressed.

It was all expected by the leader.

Being blackened proves she’s red-hot now, the more extensive the blackening, the more proof she’s intensely popular, threatening many.

The entertainment industry fears losing both fame and infamy, becoming forgotten.

The insults repeated the same rumors, about sticky marketing top-tier, cosmetic surgery, deep scheming flaunting knowledge — harmless and easily clarified slanders.

The harder they jump now, the more painful the slap-back will be later.

The strategy of suppression before elevation consistently works.

During half a month of recording abroad, Shen You’an was slandered terribly, even more absurdly accused of cheating on her entrance exam, all her academic titles being fake, her entire persona fabricated.

Lanya Group had to clarify, posting all Shen You’an’s grade reports and first-place scholarship records since elementary, alongside lawyer letters for a few extreme slanderous netizens.

Lanya Group wields considerable influence, clarifying out of valuing talent, unwilling to see an excellent student unfairly maligned.

Gossiping netizens gradually realized they were led by the nose by bashers all along.

From start to finish, Shen You’an didn’t clarify a word personally, nor hired a brigade to defend herself online, only die-hard fans struggling to uphold, is this really marketing?

Reflecting on Shen You’an’s fifteen-year life, top-ranking academic records, winning competitions effortlessly, winning four consecutive world swimming championships, and sparking director and screenwriter inspiration from an acting cameo, making a show explode in popularity.

These achievements objectively exist and are witnessed by all, not easily erased by a few bashers reversing black and white.

Shen You’an’s silence successfully garnered widespread sympathy and pity from netizens, the girl seemingly truly lacks a team, clueless even in countering blackening.

As one storm settled, another arose. Just as Shen You’an’s reputation began recovering, another source leaked she tangled with Rong Xianning while flirting with top-tier young actor Chen Shucheng during recording, Chen Shucheng infatuatedly wooing her.

With the leak, Chen Shucheng’s fans fired up, wanting to tear Shen You’an apart.

Rong Xianning’s fans were displeased too, secretly teaming up openly with Chen Shucheng fans to bash Shen You’an even more fiercely than last time.

Public bashers made even neutral viewers upset, thinking, top-tier fans are unreasonable, what if their idol is unrequited? Why blame the girl; Shen You’an is so outstanding, these two guys don’t even match her.

The principals hadn’t even spoken, yet fans acted like clowns, performing theatrics.

Adding Sun Qianqian’s water army confusing things up, Shen You’an’s online reputation plummeted while abroad, though her topic place skyrocketed, making her the most trending star, greatly widening public audience.

Finally, the "Travelogue" team completed their overseas journey, quietly returning home in early September.

Paparazzi were already waiting at the airport, but only found Sun Qianqian, dressed extravagantly, appearing ostentatiously.

The other five didn’t care about such exposure, having left the airport’s VIP channel.

Confronted by media pursuit, Sun Qianqian started displaying her lackluster, even lousy acting skills.
