Chapter 195 Black Material Carnival Day

Meng Yunda was surprised, but not that surprised.

This kind of thing…how to put it, although he has never been involved in it, with his level, he has heard of countless such dirty things.

Overseas is like a shield or a shelter. No matter whether those people have done illegal things in the country, they are always a little nervous when they do it; it is different outside, especially if they are on a luxury yacht or cruise ship on the high seas, it is like lifting the seal and having no scruples.

So what surprised Meng Yunda was not that Liu Shuangcheng had done such a thing.

What he wanted to know more was another thing——

“Where did you hear that?”

Meng Yunda changed his posture, sat up straighter, and asked with interest:
“As far as I know, although you are Lu Siyuan’s agent, you are affiliated with Huanxing Entertainment, not Wushuang. There is no trace of Wushuang in your past work experience.”

“Lu Siyuan and Liu Shuangcheng have dealings, but it’s limited to them. There’s also someone who’s acting as a matchmaker between the two of them, but it’s not you.”

“From the looks of you, it seems that you are not loyal to Director Liu. You don’t trust him at all, which is why you decisively chose to defect after he gave you the order. It is likely that you two only met temporarily because you need to deal with Lu Siyuan’s matter.”

“If you are not one of his men, then how do you know these things? Don’t tell me that it was Lu Siyuan who told you. No matter how stupid he is, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell you these.”

Liang Chaojie was sweating so much.

That’s right, Meng Yunda didn’t guess wrong at all, but if the other party was just guessing, then the accuracy would be too scary!
If it was not a guess, then it proved that Meng Yunda had already conducted an investigation before he came here. It was not just the “work experience” investigation that he just mentioned, but something more detailed and comprehensive.

That would be even more terrifying.

He didn’t even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and tried to choose his words carefully, saying:

“Yes, today is actually the first time I met with Director Liu alone. Although I have done some things for them before, those were all asked by Lu Siyuan or Director Liu. I am an employee of Huanxing, not Wushuang Films. Even though Director Liu is a major shareholder of Huanxing, he usually does not participate in the company’s affairs. Most of the affairs are still managed by Director Liu – Liu Shaomei, Director Liu.”

“I know this kind of secret because Xiao Yuan got into some trouble once before, and he wanted to use my phone to make a video call to Mr. Liu. I was standing next to him when they were talking, and I saw the screen…”

“It’s full of… that kind of scenes, the kind that Qidian Chinese website can hardly write about, let alone other novel websites.”

“Afterwards, I asked Xiao Yuan, no, Lu Si Yuan, in a rather obscure way. I said that Director Liu sounded quite noisy over there, and he must be busy with something important. Wouldn’t it be bad for us to disturb him with such a small matter?”

“Lu Siyuan didn’t care at all. He kept waving his hands and said that Mr. Liu was just on vacation overseas and was discussing business cooperation. There were indeed many big shots there, such as investors and Hollywood bosses, but they were just having fun and it wasn’t considered a nuisance.”

Meng Yunda was silent for a moment and nodded.

It was really fun to play.

Liang Chaojie saw that his attitude had changed a little from before, but it had not changed for the worse, so he quickly added:
“Lu Siyuan also likes to play when he’s not working, and he plays in an organized way. I’ve run into him a few times when I went to pick him up, and I secretly took photos to keep as evidence. He also travels overseas frequently during a period of time every year, so I guess he has probably been to that kind of party.”

“If you need his photos, I can provide some, but those that can easily reveal the identity of the photographer… can’t be produced.”

Meng Yunda nodded:
“I understand. With your status, you really need to protect yourself.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe what you just said about Liu Shuangcheng. On the contrary, I know he played tricks, which is not surprising. My point is that words are not enough. Even if you know it, you can’t use it as a handle. No one will believe it if it is exposed.”

“Telling me this doesn’t really make much sense. It’s not that it’s useless, but it’s hard to find a suitable way to make use of it.”

His attitude was already very good, which gave Liang Chaojie hope.

Liang Chaojie struck while the iron was hot and finally successfully spoke out the speech he had prepared along the way:
“That’s it, Meng Tai. I think it can be like this…”

After listening, Meng Yunda’s eyes flickered slightly.

He picked up his glasses from the table and put them back on, nodded thoughtfully, and then made a phone call.

“Hello, is this Xiao Zhuo? Oh, I’m Meng Yunda. Are you in the office now, or out on field work?”

“In the office… Then come to my office now and tell them I asked you to come. Well, I have something for you to do, so I’ll come right now.”

…………

After half an hour.

Dozens of marketing accounts on Weibo, even more marketing accounts on Tik Tok, and the shocking department of a certain website simultaneously sent videos and texts with similar content.

[Starting from Lu Siyuan’s personal admission of vote-rigging, we look back at how many royal contestants there have been in talent shows over the past decade! ]

[Shocking news! A hidden list of people in the entertainment industry has been leaked! There are so many artists who debuted by cheating! ]

[Oh my god, is there anyone like me who only now knows the hidden rules of talent shows? I will take you through all the contestants with high morale in talent shows over the years! ]

[Coincidentally! Lu Siyuan is not the only royal family member? Look at these players who are even more outrageous than him! ]

The inventory revealed the inside story of vote-rigging in all past talent shows, implicating dozens of contestants.

Sounds like a lot, right?

But from the inventory, it seems that there are more than 20 to 30 programs being listed, and each platform has a different name for them. There are also both boy and girl groups, but not many of them are very popular.

Although these talent shows have different backgrounds, they have all tacitly chosen the same model. The initial number of contestants is either one hundred or 101. With a large enough base, even if some of the contestants are returning contestants who have participated in talent shows more than twice, the total number has reached more than two thousand. Screening out dozens of them is not a lot.

At least there weren’t three-digit so-called royal players screened out, so it’s not that exaggerated.

In an instant, dozens of companies panicked.

Some companies are strong and specialize in training singing and dancing idols. After the talent show became popular, they even went public and attracted a lot of investment. However, it is precisely because they have enough people that they will always hurt a few people. It is not difficult for the company to promote them. Some artists have rich families and backgrounds, and they use their family members to build relationships. The company did not ask in detail and just turned a blind eye to it. Now they are a little confused. They don’t know the inside story, how can they deal with it? The PR in the press release is afraid of saying that they split their legs!

After the overwhelming viral marketing of revelations, the above-mentioned companies have all begun to conduct self-examination, striving to come up with a perfect clarification plan within the golden public relations time.

Then there are some small companies that only have a few pillars. They spent a lot of money to get a debut, and finally made one or two people famous. Just when they were about to recover, they were hit hard. In a panic, they didn’t even have time to investigate, and could only let the official account of the artist’s studio issue a clarification statement immediately, without caring about anything else, to appease the fans first.

But no matter whether they were pretending to be dead on the surface but actually investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, or those who were clarifying things while being nervous, they all hated the same person at the same time.

Lu Siyuan.

Who the hell do you think is an idiot? If you can’t even see that you are obviously dragging someone down, then you have been in the entertainment industry for nothing!
Even though Lu Siyuan has been under the camera of the program crew and is being monitored live at all times and places, the outside world knows very well that the person in charge cannot be him, and it can only be someone who helps him deal with the troubles behind the scenes, but it makes no difference.

The only person who benefits from dragging others into this trouble is Lu Siyuan, so the people who are causing the trouble are definitely helping him.

It’s impossible that Lu Siyuan’s enemies are doing this, right? Would enemies take the initiative to expose other vote-rigging candidates for Lu Siyuan to attract fire? They will only add fuel to the fire, fearing that Lu Siyuan will not be scolded enough!

Always check who is behind it.

Huanxing Entertainment was the first to be ruled out, because almost all the bosses of brokerage companies and artist studios called the general manager of Huanxing Entertainment first. The other party kept swearing numbly to the sky, saying that if he dared to do such a thing that would anger the public, he would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. He also said that Lu Siyuan’s background and backing were not his, and he could not afford to offend him, and then he apologized repeatedly.

He was so skilled that every boss who called to question him fell silent, guessing that others had called him countless times just like him.

But there is nothing wrong with what Huanxing’s boss said – unless Huanxing’s public relations department has their brains caught by a door or kicked by a donkey, they would not dare to do something that would infuriate the public.

They have more than one artist named Lu Siyuan under their banner. Doing such a thing is almost equivalent to offending all platforms and a large number of companies involved. It will be difficult for Huanxing’s artists to go out in the future!

So, who is it?

Someone started looking for connections, asking every company they could find that had launched a viral campaign.

At this time, not only was the company in chaos, but the Internet was in even greater chaos.

There are dozens of artists who have been exposed. Although there are not many particularly famous first-line stars, these niche fan circles are quite united.

Because they came from a talent show, their fans have experienced staying up late to vote and work as data workers, and some of them are called royals on the show. After experiencing all kinds of verbal battles and public opinion wars, the fan circle is purified quite fiercely, and those who can stay are all powerful and loyal masters of knocking words with one person.

This can be seen from the quality of Lu Siyuan’s fan circle.

Han Fei was a real top star back then. He had a face that was very popular with the public. His ability was average, but every time he performed in a qualifying round, he would go viral because of all kinds of strange scenes, thus gaining fans and a large number of friendship votes. His fan circle was complex, and there was rarely any negative news about him before something happened.

This is good in the conventional sense, but it is also because of this that when Han Fei was exposed to countless unfounded scandals, he no longer had a stable fan base that seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit to help him charge into battle.

The online war of words was overturned. From Weibo to a certain audio platform, the hot searches and trending lists were all over the place, filled with many names that were familiar to the public or completely unfamiliar. Some people were still looking for old grievances and black history, and the netizens who were just passing by were almost breaking their spoons.

I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all!

However, in such a chaotic battle, Lu Siyuan, the instigator of the vote fraud that triggered this melee, was really forgotten. His fans were naturally very happy to see that their idol avoided this storm, and the fans of the implicated artists had no time to care about other things. Their minds were full of quarrels and lawsuits, so how could they care about this idiot?

Seeing the current situation through his mobile phone, Liu Shuangcheng happily turned off the screen of his phone in the hotel, opened the door, and let the black silk SPA technician he had booked in advance come in, ready to relax.

…………

Another hour passed.

That evening, six o’clock.

In a melee of swearing, black history, clarification statements, buying and lowering hot searches.

In a corner where no one cares, on Weibo, the official account of Apple Entertainment published a pure text post.

At the same time, Apple Entertainment’s official account also sent a push notification containing only text and emoticons.

The content pushed on both platforms is basically the same.

[Hello everyone, I am the editor who last photographed a scandal between a certain female celebrity and a certain company executive. Hey, we meet again. ]

[With such a great revelation today, the editor suddenly remembered a piece of gossip he had heard. ]

[It is said that there is a big boss in the industry – the kind that many people will flatter if you mention his name, who has countless film and television resources and can easily make an amateur famous – this big boss plays a lot of games in private. ]

[The average person who plays hard to get is either in close contact with many people who can fly to other places across the country, or has many mistresses, or even concubines, or likes to play with hidden rules. This is actually no longer a secret. Friends who follow our account must be used to it. But what I want to talk about today is different. People have long stopped playing these leftovers. People are playing at the next level! ]

[As for the specific next method, let me explain it in detail. ]

【I believe that everyone has been educated in certain movies that it is legal to do anything on the high seas, but in fact it is not true. Ships need to fly a flag when sailing on the sea, and can only fly one side. If they fly, they are regarded as the virtual territory of the country, otherwise they can be regarded as pirates. In addition, this ship must have a departure port, so killing on the high seas is just a theory. 】

[As long as you are not Superman and did not carry the ship to the high seas, then there is a bug. Moreover, you also have a place of departure and a nationality, so there must be laws somewhere that can control you, right? ]

[You can do illegal things on the high seas. The biggest convenience is that no one will know about it. As long as the people on the boat don’t say anything, outsiders won’t know.]

[But the editor learned from the people on the boat that the big guy mentioned earlier not only opened an improvisation on the high seas and engaged in mass XX, but also had blood on his hands! ]

[I don’t know the details, and even if I did, I wouldn’t dare to tell you in detail. He has great connections, and if he takes me to the high seas, then the fans will lose a gossip-spreading machine like me forever, right?]

[But I can say in secret that this big guy has a close relationship with the creator of today’s gossip. ]

[Okay, I really can’t say any more. Don’t send me private messages to ask me. You guys can discuss quietly below, but don’t make it a big deal! ]
