Chapter 62: Father-Son Relationship
This storm initially started rippling through the anonymous forum, and then was taken to Weibo by some troublemakers, instantly sparking widespread discussion.
After posting on the anonymous forum, Yi Ran bought internet trolls to stir up the drama, then kept his eyes glued to the computer, watching the developments unfold. When he realized the topic had come to a halt on Weibo for further fermentation, the sinister smile on his lips hadn’t faded for a second. His gaze was as malicious as it was certain of Lin Qin’s impending downfall.
However, reality turned out to be far beyond Yi Ran’s expectations. The hottest topic on Weibo wasn’t about Lin Qin being kept by a benefactor—it was whether Lin Qin’s acting in "Dual Feelings" was worthy of a Cannes Best Actor award.
This question led to heated discussions on Weibo, with the majority ultimately agreeing that he was, indeed, deserving. Many who hadn’t watched "Dual Feelings" were drawn in by the debate, hurriedly downloading the movie and subsequently being captivated by Lin Qing’s exceptional performance—several of them even becoming Lin Qin’s film fans.
That night, Lin Qin’s fan base surged dramatically. Before, he had only over three million fans, but by the next morning, that number had increased by more than two million. Though mixed with trolls and hired detractors, the majority of comments about Lin Qin were overwhelmingly positive.
Yi Ran spent the entire night glued to developments. When he saw how things turned out, he nearly smashed his computer in frustration.
Yi Ran, a fresh-faced young actor who banks on his youthful looks, likely could never fathom the loyalty of fans won over by Lin Qin’s genuine talent. Lin Qin’s strengths justified everything he had achieved, a fact that anyone with common sense couldn’t deny.
And as one comment on the anonymous forum aptly put it: Lin Qin’s resources weren’t actually that great; the two directors he worked with were virtually unknown before they won awards. Lin Qin likely chose these projects not for the directors’ clout but for the script’s merit itself.
The synchronization of a great script, a strong team, and an outstanding actor naturally created a magical chemistry. Lin Qin’s Best Actor recognition wasn’t due to industry connections but rather his distinct vision and masterful acting skills.
