Celebrity girl is my wife novel Chapter 175

Ning Ran calmed down after Cheng Xiangyun spent some time pacifying her.

The truth was, being insulted was a normal phenomenon for an actress. Ning Ran was only that agitated because she was rarely insulted.

The reason why Ning Ran wasn’t insulted before that incident was because she wasn’t famous so little to no people paid attention to what she did.

Becoming famous meant that she would be able to enjoy the resources and attention of the public because she was a public figure.

Unfortunately, those resources and attention weren’t free. A person should be prepared to withstand the backlash that came with fame.

Your fans supported you. They went to see your concerts, bought the products you endorsed, and gave you unlimited wealth and admiration… But did they do it for free? Of course not.

Fans had certain expectations from celebrities and wanted the celebrities to act a certain way. It’s similar to the way a parent puts his/her expectations on the kid or the way lovers expected things from one another.

The moment those expectations were not met, the fans would start abandoning the celebrities and started to insult them.

Power and responsibility depended on one another. One must carry out their responsibilities to enjoy the power given to them.

A celebrity’s job was to satisfy their fans mentally and on a spiritual level.

If celebrities’ did not meet their fan’s expectations, their fans would not be satisfied, or may even get hurt.

Under those circumstances, who else could the fans blame?

Ning Ran understood those fundamentals too, but she had never experienced it firsthand. The intense attacks from the internet hurt her pride and overwhelmed her.

After calming down, Ning Ran started to strategize an action plan to solve the problem.

“Should I tell them the truth? If I don’t, they will keep attacking me,” said the frustrated Ning Ran.

“No, you can’t do anything right now,” refuted Cheng Xiangyun, “No matter what you say, they will put the blame on you, and as long as you make an appearance, they will insult you.”

“So I just have to take it quietly? Let them attack me like I’m a punching bag?”

“Silence is the best course of action for now. Zheng Lunlun’s fan ranges from twelve-year-old tweens to fifty-year-old elderlies…”

“Hang on,” said Ning Ran with disbelief in her eyes, “Fifty-year-old seniors are paying attention to entertainment news?”

“Of course,” said Cheng Xiangyun, “The elderlies nowadays, especially the women, are adopting a parental style and are almost as crazy as younger fans.”

“Parental style?”

“That’s right. They see Zheng Lunlun as their own kid because they watched him grow up and live the life they’ve always dreamed of.”

“Oh my gosh,” wailed Ning Ran, “So now they are coming after me because they see me as the old woman who is trying to steal their son away?”

“More or less,” said Cheng Xiangyun who couldn’t fully contain her laughter.

“Could you be a little more serious?” growled Ning Ran, “Why are you still laughing at a time like this?”

“Alright, I’ll stop,” said Cheng Xiangyun who turned serious immediately, “And yes, your description is a little weird, but that is the general idea.”

“As for the younger fans,” said Ning Ran as she sighed and continued, “It’s easy to understand what is going on in their head. That blonde rascal is their knight in shining armor. They think that I am not worthy of having dinner with their lover so they want me gone.”

“Yes, and that is why you should be kinder and try to understand how they’re feeling,” said Cheng Xiangyun.

“Okay, now you’re just being mean to me. Did you see how they insulted me?” said Ning Ran whose anger was beginning to rise again, “They cursed my family!”

“Yes, they are too much. The internet has always been full of haters, but keeping quiet is the only way to avoid more conflict.”

“The best solution is to have Zheng Lunlun step up and personally explain what had happened last night to pacify his fans.”

“And he must do so personally or his fans won’t buy it. They would just assume that his personal account was used by his manager to send the message,” said Cheng Xiangyun.
