Big Novel

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 229
“What?” Felicity did not understand what Stella meant.
“Well, sometimes Sophia’s methods can be pretty effective,” said Stella.
Felicity was still trying to figure out the meaning of Stella’s sentence. Soon, she saw Stella’s
countermove.
After half an hour, Dusk Galaxy posted on Facebook, [Nothing in the world is as mean as the human heart.] Just ten minutes
later, she posted again, [All work suspended indefinitely.] And ten minutes after that, she took down all of her Facebook posts
and deactivated her account, quitting the platform entirely. Shortly thereafter, some netizens discovered that she had not. only
deactivated her Facebook account, but all of her social media accounts. Soon, the topic Dusk Galaxy Quits Social Media”
climbed to the top of the trending list in just a few minutes.
Dusk Galaxy did not offer any explanation for Kelly’s interview or respond to any of the netizens’ questions. With just the phrase
“as mean as the human heart” as her farewell message, she had completely withdrawn from social media.
Kelly did not name the voice actor or provide any substantial evidence linking Dusk Galaxy to the allegations. Dusk Galaxy could
have continued to earn money in the voice-acting industry after the storm passed. Despite this, Dusk Galaxy decided to give up
her livelihood due to one negative comment. This decision did not seem logical, especially for someone Kelly had claimed to
have complained about low pay.
Soon after, someone uncovered Dusk Galaxy’s earlier voice-over work for children’s books, which was allegedly done for charity
and thus unpaid. Besides children’s books, she lent her voice to numerous public service announcements and provided audio
instructions for vision- impaired children. These actions hardly fit the profile of someone who despised taking low- paying gigs
The chief and several other big names in the voice-acting industry then spoke up for Dusk Galaxy, debunking the rumors of high
salaries for voice actors. They revealed that, in reality, voice actors were paid much less than regular actors, with a few hundred
dollars per episode being the norm. Working with actors who could not enunciate clearly meant that the lines had to be repeated
over and over, which often led to late-night recording sessions. Even once voice -over actors had established themselves, they
still had to comply with the script and accommodate the other actors. If they were not “smart” enough and offended someone,
there might be no jobs for them for a year.

Half an hour later, a well-known charity federation in Hustuabourg released a public service video. Coincidentally, the voice of the
female character in the video was Dusk Galaxy’s, and it was also done for charity. Moreover, this video was a public service
advertisement from several years ago. It was very interesting that this video was released at this critical moment.
With all these supporting facts surfacing, the public opinion swiftly reversed, and netizens turned their firepower on Kelly.
[Kelly has been dubbed the queen of poor production. All she does is stir controversy for fame. Who is she to question a talented
voice actor?]
[Moreover, Kelly’s words were misleading. The basic skills of an actor include voice, expression, and movement. They are all
essential. If actors can’t even deliver lines properly.
they can forget about their acting skills.]
[After reaping the fruits from the labor of voice actors, she turned around and stepped on them.]
[She only cares about popularity and not talent. The quality of movies and TV shows has been declining because of people like
her. It’s the real-life version of “bad money drives out the good”.]
Similar to what haters had done when criticizing Dusk Galaxy, these netizens bombarded Kelly’s Facebook with comments.
There were too many of them. Eventually, Kelly had to turn off the comment feature on her Facebook.
However, the relentless netizens then targeted her new web series on a drama rating site. In just one day, the unlucky series
received one-star ratings from tens of thousands of netizens as soon as it was released. It became the lowest-rated series in the
history of that website, which was another kind of “hype.”
The drastic turn of events left Felicity dumbfounded.
