Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 238 The Third Wave of Scandals!

Zhang Youqian took out her phone, opened Facebook and showed it to Lin Xingzhuo: "Someone photographed you and Asa drinking at a food stall, and you even spontaneously composed a song, which you sang together passionately!"

Lin Xingzhuo glanced at Facebook's trending topics: "This is so popular?"

Zhang Youqian said, "Of course! This is Charlene Choi from Twins!! It'll definitely be on the front page of every newspaper tomorrow!"

Lin Xingzhuo looked at his Facebook and Twitter accounts and exclaimed, "Holy crap! My follower count has exploded! 97,000... almost 100,000!!"

Zhang Youqian reviewed the real-time data report from the Xiangjiang server of the Jinyang Security Center, provided by Tiger Vision, and said:

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse! Twins' influence is truly amazing! They gained 8 fans in 12 hours! Your fan-gaining speed even surpasses that of Tartaglia!"

Lin Xingzhuo paused for a moment upon hearing the name and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Youqian said, "The Facebook fan page for the attack on Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi, which was reported on the news, gained 5 followers in 12 hours!"

…………

Lin Xingzhuo directly experienced the epic influence that Twins had in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia in the year 2000!

This girl group rose to fame in 2001 with their youthful image and stage handspring design in the single "Ming Ai An Lian Bu Xi She".

Their debut EP, "Twins," sold out on the day of its release, and even after an emergency reprint, it was still resold at a high premium, a rare phenomenon in the Hong Kong music scene!
In 2002, with only two years of experience since her debut, she performed at the Hong Kong Coliseum, setting a record as the "youngest artist to perform at the Coliseum." She held three sold-out shows and shed tears on stage several times!

…………

Twins at the peak of their popularity!
Truly invincible youth, a super heartbreaker for boys and girls!
His cumulative record sales in the Cantonese-speaking region have exceeded 500 million copies! His record of 14 consecutive concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum remains unbroken!

In Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, fans caused traffic jams wherever they went, and shopping malls and jewelry stores had to close their shutters to avoid the risk.

Hong Kong media called them the "ultimate high-risk combination"!!

Moreover, Twins' songs are all campus-themed, which happens to be the time when many people are at their most youthful.

For a while, the students' MP3 players were filled with their songs.

…………

Even if someone holds a solo concert someday, who will sing?
His inability to attend the scene still felt like a wasted life.

How to Sing Without Being in Love

I can barely manage to sing many of my favorite songs.

…………

"Next Stop, Superstar", "Kite and Wind", "Strawberry, Apple, Orange", "Drinking Song"...

I miss the days when I would ride my bike, wear headphones, listen to music, and buy beef offal from a roadside auntie.

In 2006, Twins performed "Apprentice Cupid" on the Spring Festival Gala, creating a sensation in mainland China! Their careers reached their peak!
This led to the saying in the music scene that there were top 1234.

1是周杰伦、2是两人的Twins、3是3个人的SHE、4是4个人的F4。

…………

Unfortunately, everything came to an abrupt end in 2008!
Many of Twins' songs, which were considered catchy pop songs back then, actually contain a lot of life philosophy when revisited after many years...

Those who used to sing Twins songs together went from seeing each other every day to gathering during winter and summer vacations, to scattering to the ends of the earth.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was still looking at his phone, waiting to see when his Facebook and Twitter followers would reach 100,000.

Upon seeing this data, Zhang Youqian said with some concern, "This scandal! If only it had happened two years earlier! Right now, there's a deadly poison hidden in Asa's popularity!"

Lin Xingzhu put down his phone and said, "Poison pill?"

Zhang Youqian said, "Of course, the pinnacle of Hong Kong's 'sunny beauty' image isn't harmless! But the group she's in..."

"Compared to the scandals with Li Nian and Li Bingbing this year, this third wave of scandals would be troublesome if it takes hold, and people would definitely bring up the old issues again! It's not worth it!"

"Unless Asa is willing to sever ties with her partner..."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "They're not just fake friends. Last year, with all that turmoil, Asa would rather fight back against Guanxi and the media than listen to Yin Huang's advice to distance herself. It's even less likely now..."

Zhang Youqian sighed and said, "Her unwavering loyalty and good character are truly admirable, but the situation with the donkey-hide gelatin..."

Lin Xingzhuo understood Zhang Youqian's concerns and said, "Are you worried that new photos will come out?"

Zhang Youqian opened the refrigerator, took out a can of Horlicks, and said, "Yeah! Donkey-hide gelatin is always making headlines with negative news!"

The Hong Kong entertainment industry was rocked up last year!

The entire new generation is wiped out! The entire Hong Kong entertainment circle has lost a generation!
And that press conference announcing his indefinite retirement from the entertainment industry!
The sheer intensity of the flashes was epic!!
It remains one of the most iconic moments in Hong Kong's entertainment industry to this day!
…………

This summer, Ejiao attended the "Heart Sunshine Action" charity gala in Central wearing long sleeves, trousers, and a sun hat, attempting to improve her image.

As a result, the very next day, several third-rate tabloids published new photos!
In fact, every time donkey-hide gelatin tries to make a comeback after 2008, it encounters this situation!
…………

Compared to Zhang Baizhi, who has already made enough money.

She can stay away from work for a long time, and wait a year or two until the impact of this incident fades before looking for opportunities to come out and earn money again.

Donkey-hide gelatin has no right to escape responsibility!
She signed a slave contract with the company for thirty years!
Most of her earnings go to the company, and she only gets a small portion for herself. It's truly a case of "if you don't work, you don't eat!"

When the company was forming the Twins group, Charlene Choi was selected from thousands of girls who applied, but the other member of the group could not be selected for a long time.

We asked the fortune teller, Dong Mujie, known as the "Iron Plate Diviner," to help us calculate the divination.

They said they only chose donkey-hide gelatin because it was for a little girl from a single-parent family.

From a practical point of view, children from broken homes are easier to control, but they have no one to back them up when something happens, and their bargaining power with companies is relatively weak.

Therefore, the long-term contract owed by the donkey-hide gelatin company still needs to be fulfilled! She still needs to make monthly mortgage payments on the house she bought! And she certainly can't afford the exorbitant termination fee and compensation!!
She has no academic qualifications or other professional skills; she can't do anything except be an artist.

They had no choice but to continue making money, despite the awkward situation.

Even when faced with reporters' questions, the anger of fans and parents, and insults from advertising clients while running business deals, they still have to greet people with a smile.

This will only make people look down on you even more.

There have even been cases of major advertisers filling cups with deoxyribose.

Unaware that the donkey-hide gelatin had been ingested, the person who discovered the mistake was too afraid to report it to the police...

…………

In Japan, many idols who experience similar situations simply go on to make movies.

If Hong Kong had a well-established industry, this kind of thing could really have happened to donkey-hide gelatin.

Although I have never photographed a real umbrella-level umbrella.

However, the movies that Ejiao made later included a lot of romantic and action scenes, which actually seemed to be heading in that direction.

…………

Faced with Zhang Youqian's concerns, Lin Xingzhuo could only change the subject, saying:

"Home-cooked meals, especially those from other people's homes, are safe, healthy, and hygienic. You wouldn't understand the joy that comes with them!"

Zhang Youqian was completely confused.

She sensed that Lin Xingzhuo was driving, and could vaguely understand some of the meaning.

However, neither of the Twins members are married...

........................

The next morning, Zhang Youqian packed up shrimp dumplings, steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, and glutinous rice chicken from Lianxianglou.

Xiao Ma was carrying a bunch of gossip magazines and newspapers such as Next Magazine, Oriental Daily News, YES!!, and Eastweek.

As expected, it's the front page headline of the entertainment section!
Asa and the mysterious talent sing a heartfelt duet at a street food stall!

Twins' Asa, a commoner, and mainland musician Lin Xingzhuo! An impromptu freestyle performance!

Netizens have spotted Asa's latest romance! Her boyfriend is a mainland Chinese guy!

Lin Xingzhu ate the steaming hot glutinous rice chicken while looking at the newspapers.

My cell phone suddenly rang.

I checked the caller ID and it was producer Liang Qiyuan calling...
