Chapter 184 What on earth is Mr. Liu going to do? !
For quite a number of celebrities, having negative news is actually not scary. As long as the public relations are done well, they can keep quiet for a while and pretend to be dead and invisible. When the limelight passes, it is not a big deal.

But once this negative information affects the basic base, the problem will become serious.

Many artists in the circle have participated in talent shows.

It is not the kind of idol auditions that netizens have in their minds. Those idol auditions imitate overseas models.

But if we extend the timeline a little bit, for example, twenty years ago, Southern Sichuan TV station pioneered the first talent show in the country. At that time, what everyone cared about was the vocal level of the contestants, and many students from music schools came to participate.

Those who later ranked high and made a name for themselves in that program were basically from vocal music majors, or at the very least young people with good academic qualifications. Otherwise, they would not have been able to learn about such a famous channel twenty years ago when the Internet was not well developed.

No matter in what era or in what industry, information asymmetry is the easiest thing to profit from. If you don’t have any skills, others will have finished their meals while you are waiting with your bowl in your hand, and you won’t even be able to eat hot shit.

Many of the singers who participated in talent shows more than a decade or twenty years ago have become the mainstays of the singing industry today. No one doubts their abilities. After all, they were chosen by a nationwide vote via text message in the 2000s. They are either great at singing, great at singing and dancing, or great at looking. Anyway, there is always one thing that is great about them. Otherwise, why are we all blind?

You can’t fake SMS voting, you use real money to vote, and there are people from the notary office monitoring the whole process. If you fake this, you will really go to jail!

However, the later the time goes, the more likely it is that parallel imports will appear.

For example, people like Lu Siyuan are the worst among them.

The talent show nine years ago was called “Dream Chaser”, a tacky name. This kind of battle royale talent show has changed beyond recognition after many years and changes in many countries. From the beginning of an all-gender singing talent show, it has been changed to a separate program for men and women. It has become more sophisticated, the competition system has become more complex and more interesting, the target audience has become more precise, and the model focuses more on the comprehensive strength of the contestants rather than their professional ability.

To put it simply, the professions of singer and idol are completely different.

Singers sell their voices, and idols sell dreams.

In other words, once an idol loses the ability to create dreams and the halo he or she brings to fans is shattered, he or she loses commercial value. How much of this value is lost depends on the degree of disappointment of the fans.

Lu Siyuan’s entry square and super topic were filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Not only did fans come out to speak, but there were also many people who watched the live broadcast and came over to watch – there was no way, no matter where our people are, the most passionate thing in their lives is to watch the excitement, no matter if it is the excitement on the scene or some cyber excitement, just watch it!

[I ran away. Is there anyone who sticks to it? I’m selling all the small cards, posters, albums and autographed photos I’ve stockpiled. The wholesale price is 10% off. You can take it away for 1,000 yuan!]
[I paid all 500 yuan, and the items are as follows (picture attached).]
[Fuck, please stop destroying the market price. How did it get so volatile? Can’t you just sell it individually? Won’t other people lose money like this?!]
[At this point, do you still care about the market price? If you don’t run fast, you’ll be happy when you can’t sell anything later. Sell it quickly while someone is willing to buy it. Stop the loss in time and try to recover as much as possible. Don’t let it get you a lot of money. If the house collapses completely, no one will want it even if it’s scrapped.]
[You guys are so quick to run away. When things were good before, you went out and said my brother is awesome, my brother has great resources, my brother is the darling of the fashion circle. Now when something goes wrong, you run faster than anyone else. Get out of here quickly, just don’t regret it later!]
[The peak welcomes false supporters, and the dusk witnesses devout believers. Those who should leave cannot be retained, so let each other go and be well. If you leave, please leave with dignity and don’t come back to step on them, okay?]
[This old lady is really making me laugh. How many years have you been a fan of Lu Siyuan? You are a devout believer? When he was doing talent shows, did you stay up late to work as a data worker for him? Did you join the anti-black group to report people? Did you participate in fundraising to buy endorsements? How much money did you spend? I have spent money on him. Consumers have been defrauded. Why can’t I scold him! ]
[He was not in a relationship and he did not break the law. What’s wrong with doing a job? If you have money, when you go out to work and do business, you don’t rely on money or connections. Do you have to endure hardships? Such a trivial matter has been made into such a mess. There must be a lot of water army involved. A bunch of idiots who just follow others’ instigation and start to jump. Get away and don’t dirty up the circle.]
[Yeah, what is fraud? Didn’t he say he could debut as a group? Isn’t it because you guys think he’s awesome and can get through every PK, so you’re fans of him? It’s like everyone has never voted or followed the show. Don’t think you’re the only old fan. Real old fans are too lazy to argue with you now.]
[Oh, so you are an old fan. Then I would like to ask, when “Chasing Dreams” was broadcast, did you go to watch it offline? Did you ever be his fangirl and post pictures for him? Did you chase his public schedule everywhere to keep him popular? If not, shut up and go check out the post that the fan club just posted! ]
In the square where everyone was talking nonsense, one post stood out and quickly became the most popular post on the square’s homepage.

Because the post of the fan club was mentioned.

As we all know, the fan club is a magical existence. It is basically the boss of all fans. The more serious the fan circle is, the higher the presence of the fan club will be, and it is almost universally recognized in the fan circle.

Before the era of traffic has fully arrived, the fan club was just an ordinary organization that could connect fans to participate in activities. Later, both brokerage companies and artists realized its importance, so all brokerage companies basically equipped artists with a publicity assistant to directly contact big fans and guide public opinion.

Some brokerage companies will directly let their staff disguise themselves as fans and infiltrate fan circles. Relying on first-hand information within the company, they pretend to be very capable, and step by step work their way to the top of the fan circle and gain the right to speak.

What’s worse is that there are professional fans. They see which star is popular and has good resources, and then use their years of experience in the fan circle to get in and get ahead. On the one hand, they raise funds in the fan circle to buy and sell peripheral products and make a profit from the price difference, and on the other hand, they use the benefits of the agency to guide public opinion, making money from both ends. This kind of talent can be called “professional”, and this is called professional.

Of course, Huanxing Entertainment also gave Lu Siyuan these configurations in order to stabilize the fan base, but there is a variable here, which is the big fans recognized by the fans.

We all have eyes and can tell who contributes money and effort, and who is chasing stars with true feelings.

There is such a big fan among Lu fans. Nine years ago, when Lu Siyuan had not yet appeared in the show, she took many pictures of the trainees going in and out of the recording site. Her portrait photography skills are very high. Later, she went to the performance site many times and took many amazing pictures. Her ID watermark is called nine, so she is affectionately called Jiujie by Lu fans.

The official account of the fan club has several people who have the right to log in and operate it. The others are either professional fans or internal staff of Huanxing. The only real fan is her. However, the fans don’t know the inside story, they only know that it is operated by a few big fans.

Previously, the fan club suddenly posted a message. In the comment section, in addition to those who cursed, wanted to leave together, and argued, there was also a small group of people who secretly discussed –

Who is the big fan who posted this? It can’t be Sister Jiu, right? Definitely not. She didn’t leave after so many incidents in the past. This is just an ordinary ticket-rigging incident. It shouldn’t be a problem.

However, things backfired.

Below this post, a comment was pinned by the blogger.

【nine: I claim this post. I posted it. No matter how Huanxing Entertainment and Lu Siyuan come after me, I will fight. You Huanxing are a big company, and so am I. So please, Huanxing staff and fans, stop calling and texting to harass me. If you continue like this, I will call the police directly.】

The account must have been banned, so this comment and the post announcing the unfollowing were deleted completely and quickly.

But how could netizens who love taking screenshots all their lives let it go? The Internet has memory. As long as you have posted it, no matter how cleanly you delete it, there will always be people who remember it, take screenshots, or even record the screen.

This is really terrible.

…………

In a hotel room in Changshan City.

Liu Shuangcheng had a gloomy face. He stared at the person in front of him without saying a word.

Liang Chaojie’s legs were shaking a little and his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn’t dare to say a word until the other party spoke. He didn’t even dare to breathe.

This was the first time he had seen Mr. Liu of Wushuang Films in person. Even though he knew that Lu Siyuan had hooked up with Liu Shuangcheng before, he never had the chance to meet him or establish a relationship with him. He didn’t expect that now that something happened, he would actually meet him.

Even if he wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful, he didn’t want to meet Mr. Liu under such circumstances!

Help!
Liu Shuangcheng didn’t care what Liang Chaojie was saying in his heart. He just kept a gloomy face and didn’t say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, Liu Shuangcheng suddenly said:

“In the short time of less than an hour on my way back from Sichuan South Station, something went wrong again, right?”

“What is the current situation in public opinion? Please briefly explain it.”

Liang Chaojie felt as if he had been pardoned because he had a topic to talk about, but at the same time he was a little nervous about what he was going to say next.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally said with his head down, “I have no choice but to do it.

“Boss Liu, this is what happened. In the show Chasing Dreams, Xiao Yuan made the tickets, and the company helped with the operation. Although we can’t say how well we concealed this matter, after so many years, basically no one has talked about it outside.”

“You work on film and television projects, so you may not know much about the twists and turns in this area. In fact, ticket-rigging in talent shows has become an industry chain. Ticket-rigging is not a secret at all, let alone a big deal. There are so many talent shows every year. If you put the top three from all the shows together, you can throw a brick and you can find someone who has done ticket-rigging. It’s not uncommon.”

“But…but even if the fans know about this, this cannot be said publicly.”

“Xiao Yuan just said on the show that he was a ticket seller, which caused an uproar in the fan circle. Originally, this would have been fine, as long as the professional fans and the company stepped in to guide him. But then a big fan who had been following him for nine years came out and used the official account of the fan club to announce that he was no longer a fan, and things became out of control.”

“The company is now holding me accountable, and I’m a little confused. That big fan has blocked all my contact information. I’m afraid only Xiaoyuan can contact her, but Xiaoyuan doesn’t even have a cell phone now. I don’t even know what happened, let alone contact her.”

“Look…”

Liu Shuangcheng remained silent.

Liang Chaojie was extremely nervous.

In fact, there were several twists and turns today. It was Liu Shuangcheng who asked Liu Shaomei to call him and inform him to meet at this hotel. When Liang Chaojie received the call, he felt that he had turned a corner. With this big boss personally taking action, no matter how big the problem was, it could basically be settled steadily.

Everyone in this circle makes a living by face, so who wouldn’t give some face to Mr. Liu of Wushuang Film and Television?

After the results came, Liang Chaojie saw Mr. Liu’s face and suddenly realized –

There are people who really have the ability to not give face to Liu Shuangcheng. Director Meng of the Southern Sichuan TV Station is one of them.

Maybe he just got humiliated by Meng Tai and is now venting his anger on me? !
He secretly glanced at Liu Shuangcheng’s changeable expression and made up his mind secretly.

Wait, be very careful with what you say, don’t bring bad luck!
half an hour.

Liu Shuangcheng twisted the string of beads in his hand and said calmly:
“Since everyone has done this kind of thing, why do you let Lu Siyuan bear it alone?”

“Drag everyone into this. It would be best if we could find someone who was scolded more harshly than him during the recording of the show. That way, he wouldn’t be noticeable in the middle.”

“You can’t even do the smallest thing, and you still need me to give you advice. Are you guys at Huanxing just eating and not working?”

Liang Chaojie was really sweating profusely now.

He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and explained in a low voice:

“Boss Liu, if we drag other people into this, they are not fools. If several families unite and prepare to take revenge on Xiaoyuan… Huanxing will not be able to withstand such great pressure.”

Liu Shuangcheng looked at him with doubt:
“revenge?”

“As long as the commotion is big enough and they release a bunch of information one after another, who would have the time to pay attention to where the source is?”

“Even if you act under the banner of Wushuang this time, there’s no need for those people to go against us just for two little stars. They’re all company owners, so they can’t be that naive.”

“Besides, when this is over, it’s unclear whether their company will still exist.”

“Do you have any other questions?”

Liang Chaojie felt uneasy, but he could only nod in response.

Oh my god…

Mr. Liu, what on earth are you doing? !
