This man knows how to hype

Chapter 133 Far-fetched
Hindsight.

Xu Xiyu clarified that the comments section on Weibo were full of hindsight.

A bunch of netizens were saying things like “I never believed the public opinions from the beginning” and they seemed very happy.

However, about half an hour later, some netizens gradually realized that something was wrong.

In particular, Zhao Mengwen's behavior of quickly liking the post made many netizens feel strange.

The strange thing is that Zhao Mengwen did not originally like the posts of other big artists who forwarded the official announcement of "The Descendants of the Sun".

But after he liked Xu Xiyu's post, about ten minutes later, it seemed that he realized it was not good to only like Xu Xiyu's post, so he started to like other people's posts.

Not only that, half a day after the clarification statement was released.

A well-known online blogger [Big Duck] simultaneously updated a video on several mainstream platforms such as D Station, Weibo, and Duoyin. The title of this video is very brave.

It's called "A shameless hype using terms like cheating and domestic violence. The Chinese entertainment industry is really going to be ruined."

In this video, the blogger reviews the entire incident.

"First, the news that Xu Xiyu and Wu Shiyi had an affair came out inexplicably, and then Xu Xiyu took the opportunity to change the subject by visiting the comic convention with Yu Meijing's director San Tiaoyu.

Then, the guests of the "Love Study Tour" program were secretly photographed while going to the hospital, and the topic of Wu Shiyi being abused by Zhao Yuchen was hyped again.

When the public's attention was focused again, the news that Xu Xiyu and Jiang Yue checked into a hotel soon came out. In the end, it was clarified and the topic was guided, and Zhao Mengwen's official account liked it.

This resulted in all traffic being directed to "Apocalypse".

As a result, the movie "Inception", which has not yet officially started filming, has received unprecedented attention.

Including "Love's Study Tour" has once again increased its attention.

Even Jiang Ziqi's liquor brand [Xiao Jiang] and the skin care brand [Yumeijing] that everyone used when they were young, took advantage of this wave of traffic to appear in the public eye.

This is a successful hype, but it is a hype without limits. When cheating, domestic violence and other things can be used as topics to attract attention, I really don’t dare to think about what will be used in the future.

Here, I would like to call out Xu Xiyu. You yourself know that you are not a "good person", but you don't want to make amends or change your ways.

You have to use these topics to attract attention again and again. You have absolutely no bottom line. I suggest you get out of the domestic entertainment industry..."

To be honest, many netizens have been doubting whether this is a hype. Now with this blogger's summary, the public opinion on the Internet has completely changed.

[Chinese entertainment is really going to end, this kind of thing is used for hype]

[Hasn’t domestic entertainment ended long ago? Why wait until now to end it? ]

[I told you that Xu Xiyu has no moral standards, but some idiots still come to argue with me. Are you still going to argue with me now?]

[This doesn't make sense. Doesn't it mean that Zhao Mengwen has no moral standards? ]

[Indeed, you also named Xu Xiyu, why didn't you name Zhao Mengwen? Are you afraid? Xu Xiyu is just a pawn for hype, is it okay to let the pawn get out of the domestic entertainment industry? ]

[The whitewashed water army should not be too outrageous. Is Xu Xiyu a white lotus? If he didn't cooperate, would Zhao Mengwen have arrested him and beheaded him? Isn't it that he has to rush to lick his hands?]

[Have you ever worked? If you have worked, you wouldn’t be able to say such things.]

[Zhao Mengwen cannot kill Xu Xiyu, but if he targets Xu Xiyu, it will make him feel uncomfortable. Didn’t you see how many big artists reposted Zhao Mengwen’s Weibo this time? ]

[No, no, why do I feel like this is still not right? I feel like I'm missing a key point]

[I also feel that I missed a key point. The incident with Wu Shiyi was very strange. I always felt that she was really beaten.]

If Youdao doesn't take advantage of its popularity, it would be unworthy of being a self-media.

Just after the video released by [Big Duck] became popular, another equally well-known entertainment blogger also released a video, and his conclusion was even more interesting than [Big Duck's].

"I don't agree with Duck's conclusion, because the public opinion has been very strange from the beginning. Think about it, is it because Wu Shiyi's cheating came to light?

It was immediately overshadowed by Xu Xiyu's visit to the comic convention.

The same thing happened later. When Wu Shiyi's matter was dug up by netizens for the second time and it was just about to be discussed on a large scale, the matter of Xu Xiyu and Jiang Yue checking into a hotel room was exposed again.

The scandals surrounding Xu Xiyu always give people the feeling that everything about him is just to suppress the topic of Wu Shiyi.

Even this big duck turned his spearhead towards "the end of domestic entertainment" and "let Xu Xiyu get out of domestic entertainment", which made me feel that he was suppressing the topic of Wu Shiyi and wanted to put an end to this public opinion.

If this hype is to promote the movie, it can just be done by asking celebrities to repost it and link the popularity of the movie with the popularity of these public opinion events.

My evaluation can be summed up in eight words: far-fetched and illogical. "

As soon as this video came out, it can be said that it directly set the pace, because compared to the Big Duck video, which was a bit of an itch, it was just a superficial one.

His conclusion is obviously more "Internet-spirited" and more explosive.

When public opinion developed to this point, a bunch of netizens and the "digital lives" arranged by Xu Xiyu went to Zhao Yuchen, Wu Shiyi, Zhao Mengwen and even the official Weibo of "The Descendants" to ask.

There is only one question: Was Wu Shiyi beaten?

If not, then let Wu Shiyi start a live broadcast to prove it. Dumbfounded.

Seeing the inexplicable development of public opinion into this state, Zhao Mengwen was really dumbfounded.

He didn't understand why the wind was blowing in this direction.

Just when I was about to call Xu Xiyu to communicate, Xu Xiyu called me first.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Mengwen hadn't spoken yet when he heard Xu Xiyu's helpless tone: "Director Zhao, my Director Zhao, what made you like my post? And you liked it so quickly?"

"What does this have to do with likes?" This like was indeed given by Zhao Mengwen.

"It is related. It is very related. You don't understand netizens. Today's netizens are full of conspiracy theories. Any clue will make them start to make groundless associations. You liked it too quickly."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Mengwen's face suddenly turned dark.

He hated it most in his life when others put the blame on him, but considering that Xu Xiyu had always stood on his side wholeheartedly, the incident did seem to be caused by the likes.

So, he suppressed his anger and asked, "So what do you say we should do now?"

Hearing this question, Xu Xiyu deliberately suggested: "Can Wu Shiyi put on makeup and live broadcast? If possible..."

"I'm afraid that won't work. It will be even more troublesome if it's not done well and flaws are revealed." Zhao Mengwen interrupted and refused.

Wu Shiyi's face was swollen like a bun, especially her eyes. One of her eyes was so swollen that she could hardly open it. It would take at least twenty days or a month for her to recover.

After being rejected, Zhao Mengwen suggested: "How about you officially announce your breakup with Lu Qinyao now, or let Bu Zhaojie and Jiang Yue officially announce their divorce?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. I was just showing my love to Qin Yao. Breaking up right away would be too abrupt. The same goes for Jiang Yue. It might backfire." Xu Xiyu shook his head.

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Mengwen to reply, he continued, "How about this, let's keep Wu Shiyi's matter cold and let the netizens ask.

Anyway, there is no evidence to prove that she was beaten. If we don't respond, this matter will probably be over soon, don't you think?"

"It's not impossible." Zhao Mengwen also thought so.

But just as he finished saying this, he heard a woman's scream from the other end of the receiver: "Xiyu, there's a problem, Director Zhao's ex-wife is speaking out."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Mengwen's eyes widened instantly.

As mentioned before, he divorced his ex-wife because of domestic violence.

Based on this premise, one can imagine what his ex-wife would say publicly online.

So Zhao Mengwen hurriedly asked: "No, what did she say?"

Xu Xiyu did not reply. After a long while, he finally said, "Tsk... Hey..."

These two interjections made Zhao Mengwen's heart sink suddenly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Xu Xiyu say, "Director Zhao, can you contact your ex-wife and tell her to shut up?

She is now saying online that your family has a genetic tendency to domestic violence. She also said that she received accurate information that Yu Chen really beat Wu Shiyi. She said that everything we are doing now is to cover up Yu Chen’s shame.”

"Fuck!!! This bitch!" Zhao Mengwen couldn't hold it back when he heard this, and the dirty words kept coming out of his mouth like he was naming dishes.

Xu Xiyu on the other end of the phone almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Zhao Mengwen swearing.

Wu Shiyi's topic is the core, how could he let it go.

Zhao Mengwen's ex-wife had been making sarcastic comments about him online for years. This time, Xu Xiyu arranged for someone to instigate her, and his ex-wife couldn't sit still anymore.

The story doesn’t end here.

It was at this time that Zhao Yuchen's voice suddenly rang out in the ward: "Dad! There is a scandal about Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu on the Internet!!!"

"What the hell?" Zhao Mengwen was confused. "Who's scandal with whom?"

"Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu's." Zhao Yuchen said in panic.

This kind of thing originally had nothing to do with him, but when it popped up at this time, it became a big deal.

In the eyes of netizens, isn't this just an attempt to cover up something?
Zhao Mengwen could naturally think of what Zhao Yuchen could think of. He immediately asked on the phone: "Xiyu, did you spread this rumor?"

"Director Zhao, do you think I look crazy?" Xu Xiyu did not give a direct answer.

But this sentence allowed Zhao Mengwen to instantly distance himself from the scandal and Xu Xiyu.

Because he really couldn't figure out what Xu Xiyu's purpose was in spreading this kind of scandal.

Zhao Yuchen thinks so too.

Not only that, he also directly convicted Ke Xinying, and he was seen cursing: "Dad, this scandal was 100% spread by Ke Xinying!"

"Why should she let it go?" Zhao Mengwen didn't understand again.
