The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 329 Emergency

"The Korean paparazzi are really too much. That young model from the island province even took out a photo from inside the bar. They only have a photo of the bar entrance, and they are slandering Xu Xing."

Xin Youqing said angrily.

"Fortunately, Xu Xing is innocent, and the team is moving quickly to refute the allegations immediately. I just checked the internet and saw that Distributor has been criticized to death. You know, being a celebrity is not easy, right? Even things that are completely untrue can be fabricated and spread all over the city. Hmm? Weiwei, why are you distracted again?"

"Eh?" Zhen Wei came back to her senses. "Oh, no, it was too much. How could you scold Xu Xing like that? Xu Xing also, also... Anyway, scolding people is wrong!"

"..."

Xin Youqing pulled Zhen Wei over and let her lean on his shoulder.

Since her best friend had something on her mind and was unwilling to tell her, all Xin Youqing could do was hug her and comfort her.

"People who stir up trouble out of nothing should be scolded."

"Yeah!" Zhen Wei forced herself to agree with a smile, "But fortunately, there are still more people who believe in Xu Xing, right? I saw on the Internet that everyone is speaking for Xu Xing, not just fans, but also passers-by, all like that."

When the famous Korean agency D released the photos, it really shocked everyone.

However, Xu Xing's studio immediately issued an announcement, explaining the situation that day, clarifying that Xu Xing had never been to Lee Seung-ri's bar, and announced that it would pursue legal responsibility against D agency.

Also announced in the notice was that Xu Xing had submitted a complaint to the Island Provincial Court, urging young model Gigi to respond to the lawsuit and the Island Provincial Court to open the trial as soon as possible.

From late last night to noon today, two righteous and strong announcements from Xu Xing's team gave Mantianxing full confidence and made most netizens choose to believe Xu Xing.

Netizens all know that the United States is really persecuting Xu Xing.

The island province is the vanguard, and now the watchdog South Korea has also come to get involved, making netizens even more confident.

There is also a special hot search term on Weibo - #许幸we believe in you#.

There were those who continued to question Xu Xing, but they were all under siege.

It seems that this sexual assault scandal will most likely eventually pass.

However, Zhen Wei still hasn't figured out why, when she suddenly saw the news break out yesterday, her first reaction was to think that Xu Xing should not have done it.

I just finished reading the file on how he was such a scumbag that everyone hated him.

Maybe it’s because he feels that Ms. Zhen’s taste is really not enough to be interested in sexual assault?
Zhen Wei has been wondering why she didn't feel as sad and painful as she did when Chris and Wu Xiaogna broke out.

Maybe it’s because I have never been a true fan of Xu Xing, so it “doesn’t matter” to me.

When he gritted his teeth and said that he was still Mantianxing and forcibly took away the negative files of Xu Xing in the notebook, Wang Yu's mocking eyes were like two suns hanging above his head, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Think about it again, some time ago, when I was chatting with those star-chasing girls, I smugly showed off the "mature fan theory"... Being a star-chaser seems to be a paradox. If you have never been sad, you are definitely not a true fan... Is that right?
Do perfect stars really exist?

What exactly are we chasing after when we are stars?
These questions, along with the question of whether Ms. Zhen was really Xu Xing's lover, filled my mind in chaos, turning my mind upside down.

...But maybe I am unconsciously using these questions to stop myself from thinking about Ms. Zhen's problem.

You must go home.

When to return and what to ask when returning are also questions.

"Of course, it's Xu Xing after all."

Xin Youqing said with a smile.

"..."

Zhen Wei forced herself to laugh out loud and wanted to say something else, but she didn't know what to say.

So I decided to change the subject.

"Qingqing."

"Ok?"

"If, I mean if, you stop being a fan of Xu Xing, what would be the reason?"

"Um... this question... the songs are not as good, the dramas and movies are not as good, they have become ugly?"

"Isn't it because of the house collapse?"

"I can't possibly risk my life for a star. I also know that they are ordinary people. Didn't you say that before?"

"For example, he has unbearable moral flaws, or he has actually committed sexual assault, or other crimes."

“…Well, if it’s true, I should stop being a fan.”

"Oh, thank you."

"What's there to thank? But if it's just a suspicion, I still hope it's fake. It's not easy to have a star that you can keep following for a long time. Look at Xu Xing. Now everyone thinks that if you extend his achievements so far to ten years, you can just call him a legend. He has only been in the industry for four years, and he will definitely achieve greater success in the future. Such a star... only appears once in a century. When you look back a long, long time later, you will be very happy to have such a legend accompany you during your best youth."

"..."

"is not it?"

"..."

……

A false alarm!
In fact, after the photos from D agency were thrown out, what Xu Xing was most worried about was whether her several trysts with Jisoo and Yoona overseas were also photographed.

But when the announcement was made, I couldn’t take care of it.

It is important to distance herself from Lee Seung-ri, the real legalist. Even if she has to admit that she briefly dated Jisoo or Lim Yoona, Xu Xing must firmly deny that she is a good friend of Lee Seung-ri.

Fortunately, it seems that D agency is just here to take advantage of the popularity. On overseas social media and even Korean social media, a large number of people have besieged D agency and called it a disgrace, but D agency still has not made any move.

As for the domestic fan circles, they were extremely excited after seeing D agency’s move at noon, and they kept popularizing D agency’s glorious achievements in their groups and on Weibo.

But in the afternoon, they began to question whether D agency only released such photos to help Heo Xing whitewash himself and blur the focus of Heo Xing's sexual assault to whether he was a good friend of Lee Seung-ri.

Because in fact, Xu Xing and Lee Seung-ri don't even have a single photo together. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in the domestic entertainment industry have a close relationship with Lee Seung-ri, and many have been to his bar. Even Joey Yung, who collaborated with Lee Seung-ri on a single, spoke out to support him.

——In the beginning, when the fans believed Gigi’s essay and were certain that Heo Xing and Lee Seungri were good friends, they said: Because the two of them were doing something shady together, they avoided taking photos together. They went to the bar openly, so there was no problem.

[Sisters, don’t be fooled!
Focus on the key points and don’t be led astray!
Sexual assault must be punished by law!
——Excerpt from the most popular post on the front page of Douban Group 8, which was shut down at 1 p.m.

"This year's Internet clean-up is supposed to rectify the chaos in fan circles and other Internet phenomena. This time we are rushing them to rectify it, so that they don't spread rumors and cause trouble every day."

Qu Mingzhen, who slept until the afternoon, was lying on the sofa on the balcony basking in the sun, smiling lazily. "The other side is clearly trying to make a fuss about you this time, and there are some shadows of Western organizations behind it. Of course, our superiors will not just sit there and watch. You are our business card now, and we value you more than I expected. Now all domestic platforms have been instructed not to allow rumors that slander you to spread. The superiors do not allow Western organizations to use the me too trend to cause chaos in China."

"Oh."

Xu Xing nodded.

This morning, host Zhu Jun was also accused of sexual harassment. Compared with Xu Xing's explosive popularity, it was not very noticeable, but it still made many people more radical in accusing the society and insulting Xu Xing.

The various platforms have indeed begun to take control, with much greater force than Liu Cheng contacting them.

However, Xu Xing is just an artist after all, and it is impossible for her to be completely immune to criticism. It’s just that negative rumors will not become hot searches and will be debunked as soon as possible.

——Before Yu Murong flew to the island province, he said that Yu Murong had the situation under control, which was what he was referring to.

This is also the reason why the trend of opinion online is determined so quickly.

At the capital level, everyone in the circle is aware of the attitude of the higher-ups, and the possibility of Xu Xing pretending to obey but actually going against his will and taking advantage of others' misfortune has become very low.

After being comforted overnight, all the partners are now more reassured about Xu Xing.

The problem now lies only overseas.

For example, LV, which has a huge presence around the world, and the American edition of VOGUE magazine, which will be officially released tomorrow, are both being besieged by Europeans and Americans.

This morning, mainstream media in Europe and the United States widely reported that Xu Xing, a world-famous Chinese star who had just released a single that topped the B charts for two weeks, was involved in a sexual assault scandal.

In the controversy surrounding the New York Times report at the beginning of the month, those who failed to win the argument have made a comeback with a stronger combat capability.

Completely ignoring the various doubts that Xu Xing's fans have tried hard to explain, they directly said that Xu Xing, the rapist, should be arrested, and that LV and VOGUE are supporting the rapist. It is a shame for Billboard and the American music industry that "something just like this" is still on the list. They once again demanded that Billboard remove Xu Xing from the list.

There are also reports that China is suppressing domestic voices and shielding the rapist Xu Xing, which directly proves the correctness of the New York Times report that Xu Xing is a tool of China.

China really has no control over overseas affairs.

Xu Xing has already prepared himself mentally to stay in the domestic circle in the future.

Originally, Xu Xing had not integrated into their European and American circles, and they would only ask Xu Xing for more expensive tokens of allegiance in the future.

Why bother?
"When I just woke up, I called Murong. She had already met with Xu Weining, and Xu Weining officially agreed. But she is basically no longer needed. Murong may not have told you yet, although Gigi has not been found, one of her best friends has been found. That best friend said that Gigi had boasted to her about sleeping with Lee Seung-ri, and the time should be the day after your bar party. She also said that Gigi sent her a photo of Lee Seung-ri's back at the time, and she saved it in her previous phone.

"But the phone is missing for the time being. We are looking for her phone now, and Murong is also continuing to confirm that she is not lying for money. As long as we can find the photos in the phone, we can basically clear up the matter without waiting for the trial. Even if we can't find it, having her come forward can help us completely turn the situation around."

"That's great!"

Xu Xing felt more at ease. This kind of essay was completely dependent on stirring up public opinion. Once public opinion was controlled, it was hard to imagine what other tricks they could come up with.

At the same time, he felt even more grateful to Yu Murong.

When Yu Murong went to the Island Province Court to file the indictment, he notified the Island Province media in order to show that Xu Xingqing was innocent and not afraid of criticism, and at the same time to put pressure on the Island Province Court.

This was the first time that Yu Murong was officially exposed to the public, and the video was spread all over the Internet.

It is gratifying that outside the court, a large number of Xu Xing's fans from the island province rushed to support her, but at the same time, in some videos, one can hear a few island province untouchables who took the opportunity to stir up trouble and insulted her.

"There's also the matter of the baby. You know Zhao Liying is pregnant too."

Qu Mingzhen asked.

"Of course I—" Xu Xing was stuck, "How would I know?"

Thinking about the time when Zhao Liying was pregnant, it was really during this period. I didn't think of her for a while yesterday. The female top streamer is also a top streamer, and her influence is greater than Hua Chenyu. Moreover, she also announced her marriage when she admitted her pregnancy.

Qu Mingzhen glanced at Xu Xing.

"Zhao Liying just finished filming our drama, and I know her situation quite well. The child of Zhang Bichen and Hua Chenyu is real. After Gigi's best friend comes forward, we will throw out all the information about the two children in about a week. This way, basically no one will pay attention to your affairs anymore. Then we will wait until you win the case and completely clear your name."

"Thank you, Sister Zhen."

Xu Xing was moved.

I went to sleep last night. They were busy all night. Sister Rong is still busy now. The matter is resolved. I really am...

"Ha~"

Qu Mingzhen laughed out loud because she saw Xu Xing raised his hand very happily just now, probably wanting to shake her hand, but he put it down again out of embarrassment.

Just as she was about to speak again, her phone rang.

Qu Mingzhen answered the phone first.

"well."

A very short phone call.

After putting down the phone, Qu Mingzhen sat up immediately.

"I'm going to change my clothes first, Li Hang will be here soon."

Ten minutes later, Xu Xing and Qu Mingzhen, who had changed her clothes, met in the living room with Li Hang, CEO of Zhengrong Entertainment, who claimed that he had an emergency situation to report regarding Xu Xing.

"…When she first joined the company, I noticed that she was paying too much attention to Mr. Xu. This incident was so serious that I also conducted a thorough investigation in the company. I didn't expect to find something that really scared me. It turned out that Xing Xin had been secretly collecting information about Mr. Xu. The large amount of speculation and fabrication in it was shocking!"

……

As soon as Zhen Wei walked in, she heard Ms. Zhen Huaiwei's exaggerated exclamation
"My dear Weiwei, you are finally back!"

Ms. Zhen, with a smile on her face, came towards us lightly, like a butterfly flying towards us.

Why doesn’t Ms. Zhen have any worry on her face... Oh, Xu Xing must have told her the situation, "Don't worry, the boat has already passed the mountains and rivers"?
Minister Nanshan Entertainment once quoted that poem.

So Zhen Wei also smiled at Ms. Zhen.

And as Ms. Zhen hugged him, he asked.

"Have you slept with Xu Xing?"
