Chapter 48: Official Announcement of the Male Lead - Bird Sister's Angry Outburst
Which team are you going to join?
"Retiring right after winning the World Championship, it's so sudden!"
"Didn't you say you were injured?"
"Indeed, I guess he'll need to rest for a while."
"Could it be that I've been abandoned?"
"What are you thinking? This is called a successful retirement!!!"
Just as netizens were speculating,
Gu Yi himself reposted the Weibo post from Instagram and added a caption.
"Thank you to IG for nurturing me, thank you to my teammates for fighting alongside me, and thank you to all the fans for their support and companionship."
"From an unknown to a world champion, IG gave me a stage to grow."
"All good things must come to an end. Today I am officially retiring, and I have signed with Fiber Optic Media. See you all again in the future!"
The official Weibo account of Fiber Optics immediately reposted it.
"Welcome Gu Yi to the fiber optic family!"
"We will join hands with Gu Yi to establish a personal studio and help him develop his film, television and music career."
Gu Yi's fans were both surprised and delighted when they saw the news.
"The studio is all set up???"
"Wow, it seems it's not just about singing!"
"Is she going to cross over into acting? That's such a pleasant surprise!"
"They must have come prepared, hurry up and release a new song!"
"So, when is the new song coming out?"
"I can't wait!"
Many people left comments in the comment section urging for more updates.
Gu Yi smiled and replied to the fan after seeing it.
"I already have new plans, and I recently covered a song, which is expected to be released in mid-December. I hope everyone will like it."
"expect!"
"Looking for a cover song!"
"Whether it's acting or singing, I support you!"
The fans were incredibly enthusiastic.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhang, who was shooting an autumn-themed photoshoot in Beijing, was just about to post the photos on Weibo and other platforms.
I was stunned when I suddenly saw the message pushed by the company's official Weibo account. When I clicked on it, I was stunned to see the text: "Welcome Gu Yi to join Fiber Optics and build your personal studio together."
She handed the phone to Li Dengke.
"Didn't he approach our company to discuss a collaboration a while ago? How did he suddenly become one of our artists?"
"I don't know either."
Li Dengke also looked bewildered.
Suddenly, a message popped up on his phone from the company's WeChat group. It turned out to be a Weibo post from Sun Yonghuan inviting everyone to welcome Gu Yi to the company.
"Alright, Mr. Sun sent a message to the artists' group, asking everyone to forward and congratulate him. You should forward the Weibo post first, don't delay."
"Alright."
Although Zhang Ruonan was puzzled,
But I still obediently forwarded the congratulatory post.
Put down your phone.
She couldn't help but ask again.
"Should I call him junior brother from now on? After all, I joined the company much earlier than him."
"Uh, you're being a bit too arrogant."
Li Dengke's lips twitched.
"Didn't you see what was written on Weibo? He opened his own studio right after he joined. This kind of treatment is something that ordinary artists can't compare to."
Zhang Ruonan urged.
"Then you should quickly find out who he is and how powerful his background is. Just so I don't accidentally offend him if I run into him at work later."
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me, I've already asked."
Li Dengke is waiting for a reply.
at this time,
The production team of "Better Days" capitalized on the popularity...
The film's male and female leads were officially announced on Weibo, along with an official poster featuring Gu Yi and Zhou Dongyu.
"After holding it in for so long, we can finally shout it out! The official announcement for the two most handsome male and female leads of 'Better Days' is here: @ZhouDongyu and @GuYi."
"No one stays young forever, but there will always be young people. May time (or director) treat them kindly (or perhaps cruelly)!"
When Li Dengke saw the Weibo post, his mouth dropped open.
"This is what an S-class celebrity is like!"
Zhang Ruonan was also shocked.
"He actually landed the male lead role in 'Better Days'?"
"So his background is not simple."
Li Dengke sighed.
"Looks like the boss is going to promote him. Let's see how we can curry favor with him."
Zhang Ruonan nodded thoughtfully.
Subsequently, artists under Fiber Optics, Gu Yi's friends in the e-sports circle, and even his own fans all forwarded the message to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Gu Yi, on officially becoming an actor!"
The related topic quickly climbed to the top of the entertainment trending list. Although it only ranked around 5th, it was already quite impressive in the past few days.

However, this official announcement completely enraged Millennium's fans, who started discussing it in group chats.
"No, our Qianxi has been involved in this movie for two years and auditioned three times. How could a newcomer from another field steal the role?"
"I'm speechless. The production team just celebrated Millennium's birthday, and they immediately made the official announcement. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?"
"Impossible! Gu Yi got this resource the moment he signed with Fiber Optics. He's clearly a resource-rich person, a true royalty!"
"How dare someone who just plays video games and never even went to college outdo our Millennium?"
"Damn it! How dare they steal our Millennium's leading role? They're asking for it!"
"That's too much!"
"Where are the big fans? Don't you know anything?"
Soon after, the photographer who took the photos for Millennium released a set of photos.
"On the day of the third audition, at the state-of-the-art Sheraton Hotel, Gu Yi arrived shortly after. The timeline is crystal clear. Isn't this hijacking?"
The photo shows the exact time; Gu Yi entered the hotel around the same time as Qianxi left.
Once this set of photos was released,
The bird sisters immediately erupted in anger.
"It's confirmed! Gu Yi is a 'resource-backed' guy; he got the role through connections!"
"The reason why Millennium auditioned three times and failed, while he landed the lead role on his first audition, is that something's definitely fishy!"
"Come on, sisters, let's curse him to death!!"
In no time, the official Weibo account of the production team and Gu Yi's Weibo account were flooded with comments from Bird Sister, with the comment section filled with doubts and insults.
"Why should a newcomer who has never acted before be cast as the male lead?"
"He's an esports player, why doesn't he focus on playing games? He's come to the entertainment industry to steal resources, is he crazy for fame?"
"They actually stole my Millennium's role! Do they really think they can do whatever they want just because they have powerful backers?!"
"What kind of good show can a lousy production crew like yours possibly make?"
Some obsessive fans even went so far as to photoshop images and spread rumors.
"Gu Yi must have made an improper deal with the producer, otherwise how could he have gotten this role?"
"Speechless. They'll do anything for fame!"
"Those with connections, get out of the entertainment industry!"
Inside the van at this moment,
Millennium rested with his eyes closed.
The assistant suddenly grabbed his phone and shouted.
"Brother! Fans are furiously attacking the official Weibo account of the 'Better Days' movie crew and Gu Yi's Weibo account because of you."
"They also said that Gu Yi had an improper deal with the producer, which is why he got the role!"
Upon hearing this, Millennium opened his eyes wide, his expression turning murderous.
"Hahaha, it's his turn!!!"
