Chapter 350: The Battle of Online Drama, She Has Fans Too
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Yes, our Camellia is no longer the innocent girl of the past. Now, please call me Great Florian!]
[Sisters! Be careful with your wording here. The opponent is a returnee, and she wants to establish herself firmly in the design and fashion circles of Leucia. Her methods must be extraordinary. She’s only been here for a short time, but she’s already caused so much trouble. We must stay composed and true to ourselves. We just need to bark internally and whimper externally!]
[Exactly! Don’t give them any ammunition. Charge, Florians!]
Rong Qi took some time to read the posts and figured it out. It seemed like another online drama battle was brewing. She followed her fans to the “battlefield” where they were planning to control the narrative. The so-called “battlefield” was the comment section of several marketing accounts.
The opponent was Gu Yuyan’s fans. Rong Qi’s lip twitched after finding out it was her.
‘Is this possible? I was into 2D drawings, while Gu Yuyan was a fashion designer. Could the fans really clash? But, Our styles and preferences are completely different now!’
Rong Qi looked at the marketing accounts and saw that one of them had posted one of her drawings, which prompted her fans to claim it. However, Gu Yuyan’s fans immediately jumped in, saying that this was their idol’s design and the inspiration for this current design. They accused the Florians of being shameless and stealing the artwork. They even claimed that Rong Qi was feeling guilty, which is why she didn’t dare to go online. As a result, with the help of the marketing account’s instigation, the two sets of fans began to clash.
Rong Qi sighed silently, watching as the Florians struggled to secure a prominent position in the argument. She surprisingly felt a pang of sympathy. In reality, she didn’t care if people criticized her. She had never paid any attention to such matters, whether it was when she was canceled as the new representative or now, facing baseless accusations. Moreover, the artwork was genuinely hers, and she couldn’t be bothered to argue about it.
Rong Qi couldn’t even remember when she had drawn this particular piece. It was just a basic layout, with no finished product and no signature, which was why it had caused this controversy. Because of Weibo’s algorithm, Gu Yuyan’s Weibo was suggested under the marketing accounts. Rong Qi clicked on it and finally realized what was going on.
Earlier that morning, Gu Yuyan had posted a design collaboration with Qiyan Studio. The design incorporated elements of traditional Neocathai’s beauty and fashion and bore some resemblance to Rong Qi’s previous base drawing.
Someone had commented on Gu Yuyan Weibo saying, [This looks a bit like BlankCanvas’s artwork.]
That comment had been quickly amplified by the marketing account, sparking the current conflict. Gu Yuyan’s Weibo wasn’t online at the moment, so she probably wasn’t aware of the situation yet.
In the comments section of the marketing account, both sides’ fans were already arguing heatedly.
[Heh, the Saint’s fans are here again? They’re everywhere, bringing bad luck! A person who’s too scared to show their face and has offended the entire industry is now trying to control the narrative here. How dare they! ]
[Matcha Lover: BiankCanvas, rest assured, even if the whole world betrays you, we will always support you. BiankCanvas: Why would the whole world betray me? Matcha Lover: Because we’re helping them. Surprised? Hahaha, look at you all, does anyone even like you? You’re just looking for attention everywhere!]
[Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore.. How can they understand design and fashion when they’re from a different league? Our Gu Yuyan represents the design circle, of course, she can’t be compared to some internet celebrities!]
