In the meantime, after the pictures had been posted, the comments started to pour in:
[F*ck me, was caught off-guard being hit by beauties.]
[Immortals, these?]
[I'll say it like it is - too beautiful.]
[This figure, this head to shoulder ratio, Luo Qiao is an awesome woman…]
[My goodness, I have to admit defeat, Luo Qiao's pretty damn good looking.]
[Was this photoshopped? All female celebrities nowadays swear by photoshop, god knows how many adjustments they make. To think they have the audacity to post it up here.]
[Last commenter, your jealousy is overspilling right out of your screen.]
[Upfront declaration - I'm not envious of Luo Qiao, there are many in the entertainment circle who are prettier than her, so why should I be envious? It's obvious that these pictures here have traces of being altered. So you're saying I'm jealous just because I told the truth?]
[Oh, natural beauty is popular now. Only you, my pretty sister is still digitally manipulating every single one of your photos. After hibernating at home for half a year, you've grown so hideous yet you have the shamelessness to post these digitally enhanced pictures here!]
[UglyUglyUglyUglyUgly!!!]
Following this, there were microscope users who found the signs of digital manipulation on the pictures. Immediately Luo Qiao's evil fans were emboldened and these photos quickly became the object of their ridicule.
That evening, the entry to the banquet event was live-streamed. Mu Lan ran into the group representing her company and had to go separate ways with Luo Qiao, entering the banquet venue first.
Because of the high profile of the event, many netizens stayed there waiting for the start of the live broadcast. In the first half-hour, a few internet celebrities had entered the venue, but the comments screen had not been too friendly:
[Are you telling me that is the bare-faced beauty goddess Dai Zheng?? Sh*t, I must be blind.]
[So fat. And the next one is Liu Shuangshuang? Damn, fake photos!! Fake photos!!]
[Last commenter, don't be impatient, these are only internet celebrities, the real stars are coming.]
True enough, a few minutes later, when the stars appeared, the atmosphere took a turn.
Bei Rongrong made the appearance together with two of their company's female celebrities. Possibly because of the contrast with the people before them, there was a sudden shift in the sense of presence.
Comments from the netizens:
[There's indeed a difference between internet celebrities and stars, just based on this body alone, it's enough to hang those monsters up for a beating.]
[There's a gap +1, don't insult the stars from now on. They are all one in a million.]
[This must be Bei Rongrong? My god, compared to the ones before, she looks like a goddess, so pretty.]
[I agree. Very pretty, I'm a captive fan now.]
[Last commenter, that's way exaggerated isn't it, that face is worthy of the term goddess?]
[I think she's so-so only too.]
[Hehe, so-so? Why don't you try to find one who's prettier than Bei Rongrong? Stop pretending to be so high up.]
That particular netizen's comment screen was now suddenly inundated with comments about Bei Rongrong.
Until…
[F*ck me, F*ck me, F*ck me… who is that beauty in the blue gown!!!]
Mu Lan stepped onto the red carpet. She looked at Bei Rongrong who had gone before her and her eyes burned. That little b*tch, she had tried to ruin her gown once again. Fortunately, she had reacted fast and foiled the attempt.
"Look here, look at the lens."
Mu Lan was a natural in front of the camera. She quickened her steps to catch up with the few others and then immediately turned to the camera lens and flashed her signature smile. Her shallow dimples appeared, her presence undeniable.
Screen comments:
[I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead…]
[I want to know everything there is to know about that woman in under three minutes flat!]
[What was Bei Rongrong, compared to this beauty?! All the other women were only good as feet washing maidens! This beauty is the true goddess, ok?]
[Since when did such a beautiful actress join the entertainment circle? Why didn't I know?]
[I've seen this big sister's TV serial. She was in "Fall of the Old City" in a supporting role. Her character was adorable. Look out for her, everyone.]
