Chapter 100
The entire audience fell silent, even the director and producer were stunned.
This scene was like a collection of human tragedies.
Because the supporting actors were all skilled performers, even with Ji Fei among them, her role wasn't heavy, so the overall effect was actually more heart-wrenching than the previous confrontation with the top actors.
The previous performance by the male idol group had frequently broken the audience's immersion due to stage limitations.
But this time, it made people completely forget about the stage, immersing them solely in the fate of the characters in the plot.
In the audience, Qin Yan and Qin's Mom's eyes immediately turned red. They thought their tear threshold was already low, but unexpectedly, Qin's Father suddenly let out a sob beside them.
He stared intently at the emperor's back, as if empathizing with the emperor's powerless grief.
It was then that Qin Yan and Qin's Mom realized that many people around them were emotionally moved, some choking up, others angry.
Backstage, Qin Rong directly hugged Xiao Tao and cried.
Xiao Tao asked, "Didn't you watch their rehearsal?"
"But... but..."
Gao Hao, on the other hand, kept checking his phone for updates on the live stream and Weibo.
Pei Mingxuan said from the side, "No need to look, they've definitely won."
Gao Hao was stunned. Pei Mingxuan smiled brightly and turned to say, "You chose the best subject matter, and thank you..."
Gao Hao raised an eyebrow. Indeed, it was a keen insight. Pei Mingxuan had seen through the hidden intentions in their performance.
In the waiting area, the other two groups began to look at Sun Mo and Yang Hong. Their eyes were full of mockery, especially remembering how these two had just been cheering for the top-tier group.
Although it wasn't out of goodwill, the top-tier group was really quite unfair.
Yang Hong's face darkened, and he cautiously glanced at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo's face was already flushed, his fists tightly clenched, almost gnashing his teeth in anger and embarrassment.
The contrast between the screen and the stage was silently mocking their previous performance, also negating the many works he had acted in.
It was almost like a direct slap to their faces. What a humiliation.
In another waiting area, the supporting actress Xu Meng had started crying. Some people actually sympathized with her, feeling that they were a bit pitiful to be... by the top-tier group's performance.
It couldn't be said that their acting skills were crushed, it was really the plot that crushed them.
At this moment, whether it was the barrage of comments in the live stream or the hot searches on Weibo, after a brief silence, they exploded!
"It's really a battle of the gods, with mortals suffering the consequences!"
"In the past, we identified with the male and female leads, but actually, we're the suffering masses!"
"Damn, you're in love, why do we have to suffer? I object... sorry, I got too caught up in it."
"What's this? We only lose our lives, while they lose their love, is that it?"
"Looking at the comparison, the sarcasm attack is at MAX. As expected of you, Qin Zhao and Ji Fei, still love to launch big moves right in our faces."
"I'm so angry watching this. Suddenly feel like the dramas I watched before are so disgusting. They fuss back and forth just for love. They're supposed to be immortals, why are their minds full of romance? If you have love, why not cherish it properly, why must you torment everyone around you?"
Most netizens resonated with this, probably wanting to vent for a long time but lacking a focused form.
Now the top-tier group gave them the opportunity, and they exploded like a hornet's nest, frantically criticizing current immortal romance dramas.
But there were also a minority who resisted.
"It's just a TV drama setting, aren't you taking it too seriously? There are people who love to watch it. I love watching immortals in love. Do you have to criticize to show you're different?"
"Life is already hard enough, can't I watch sweet immortal love stories? Creating controversy to attack people is meaningless."
"The top-tier group is vicious, they're deliberately targeting others, the top-tier group is bullying in the show!"
The internet was a mix of all kinds of reactions, but let's set that aside and continue with the performance.
Originally, everyone thought it would continue to show the contrast between the two, letting the audience see what it means for immortals to fall in love and disturb the three realms. But the scene suddenly changed.
Ji Fei emerged from the human purgatory, cultivated to become an immortal, ascended to the celestial realm, coldly observing everything. Now the stage depicted the celestial realm scene. Qin Zhao played the Emperor Lord, and the supporting actress from last time played the Goddess.
...
It was almost the same as what the previous group had portrayed. The female lead's identity changed, she was resurrected, and the two could start their drama again. Then began her escape and his pursuit.
The Goddess fled into the forest, the Emperor Lord set the mountain on fire, forcing the Goddess out. The two struggled, resisted, and flirted ambiguously, but didn't look back to see the nearby villagers affected by the mountain fire, countless dead and injured.
The Goddess escaped into the sea, the Emperor Lord raised huge waves, the two shouted in the sea expressing their painful feelings for each other, but didn't look up to see countless fishing boats swallowed by the sea, coastal fishing villages wiped out without exception, even the sea creatures suffered greatly due to their weakness.
The Goddess continued to flee, the Emperor Lord continued to chase, the three realms continued to be affected, with deaths occurring everywhere at any time.
Until a force that could truly destroy the three realms appeared.
However, when the Emperor Lord began to slaughter mortals to force the Goddess to give up saving the world, they actually acted out scenes of people constantly dying at the Emperor Lord's hands.
He even shouted that line, "If you dare to die, I'll make this world perish with you!"
...
In the waiting area, Sun Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly stood up, losing his composure and said, "Isn't the director going to do anything? This is maliciously distorting our previous performance."
Although Yang Hong felt Sun Mo shouldn't have stood up, at this point, he could only join in the protest.
Someone behind them couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.
"But in your performance just now, you did mention killing people continuously to force the Goddess to appear, you just avoided portraying these scenes."
"Young man, I advise you not to care too much about their plot right now, otherwise you might end up at a logical disadvantage in the storyline."
"Although we can't hear the live stream here, the audience is watching your reactions. You should have some grace, otherwise you'll become the villains."
With two veteran seniors saying this, Sun Mo was immediately flushed with anger, his neck turning red. In the end, Yang Hong had to pull him to sit down.
"Don't be angry, Brother Mo. We performed openly according to the usual routine. Even if the comparison makes us less likable, we won't be implicated because of this."
Indeed.
The spectators were all stunned, as if seeing the plot of the previous group from another perspective. They didn't target the performers, but were shocked by the consistent tropes of immortal romance dramas.
It turned out that behind that domineering and obsessive love lay so much bloodshed.
The criticism online grew louder.
"Damn, if you want to be together, be together. If you want to break up, break up. You two big idiots only know how to implicate innocent people! What? Are the people of the world just a part of your roleplay?"
"What did the world do to offend you? Do we even know you? Why should we die for your love?"
"How unlucky, too unlucky! You even want us to perish with you! Who gave you the right? Who's going to control these two lunatics?"
Most netizens could no longer see that heart-stirring love, only a surge of anger remained.
The performance on stage continued.
...
Until the Emperor Lord was about to kill the Demon Lord, the Goddess appeared to stop him. Under everyone's persuasion, she prepared to kill the Emperor Lord, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She hugged the Emperor Lord and cried.
Everyone watching grew more angry, thinking it was going to be another passionate performance.
At this moment, Ji Fei, who had been an observer standing at the edge of the stage, suddenly rushed out.
She ran a sword through the Emperor Lord.
Everyone looked at Ji Fei in horror.
The Goddess held the fallen Emperor Lord in shock.
"Who... who are you?"
"I am the countless wronged souls who died because of you!"
...
The spectators were dumbfounded.
