This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 164 You little devils, how could you be so despicable!
Although Chen Yuan is all alone, he has achieved his current wealth and status solely through his own efforts, talent, and a bit of luck.
It's safe to say that there's no one in the entire entertainment industry who is cleaner or more inspiring than him. He has a huge number of fans, but that doesn't mean everyone will like him.

Some people doubt the authenticity of his perfect performance, believing that it is the result of careful acting;
Some people feel that an outstanding individual in a group will cause widespread discomfort, and subconsciously hope that Chen Yuan will be "pruned" to return to mediocrity;
Some people dislike Chen Yuan for becoming a moral benchmark, making those around him feel pressured and uncomfortable, as if they must work the same way.

These reasons for disliking someone are already bizarre enough, but there are even more bizarre ones.

Gao Wuwei is an economics lecturer at Aurora University. He enjoys writing on Tianya Forum and blogs and communicating with netizens.

He's a veteran internet user, having started using the internet a long time ago. Back then, not everyone could use the internet; Gao Wuwei even chatted with Mr. Zhang of Sohu, who was worth billions!
However, after the millennium, with the rapid expansion of the domestic internet, all sorts of random people could go online and leave all sorts of speechless traces and comments, which Gao Wuwei found very offensive.

He often used his knowledge and insights to answer and comment on events and questions on the Internet, and gradually gained some fame. Newspapers also came to him to commission some specific articles.

Gao Wuwei thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of giving pointers to the masses and then being flattered.

But he's been in a bad mood lately. The Sino-US co-production "The Edge Walker" is currently showing in theaters. There's so much discussion about the movie online that it's impossible to ignore.

Gao Wuwei has no interest in science fiction movies and has not watched any, but he is very interested in the topic of Night City, which is the epitome of capitalist development, discussed on Tianya Forum.

After learning about the fictional Night City from the movies, he had a general idea, but when he saw people comparing major American cities like New York and Chicago to Night City, he couldn't help but object.

He refuted these people who were spreading rumors and making baseless accusations by citing classical texts.

He thought he would receive a lot of support again, but this time it was different. There were indeed voices of support, but there was more ridicule.

Some netizens have copied and pasted news comments about Americans comparing their cities to Night City.
Someone released information about public nuisances in the United States, such as lead pipes, blood selling, drug experiments, and chemical pollution, comparing them one by one with various details hidden in the movie Night City.

Compared to Night City, the real-life United States is even more outrageous.

Chen Yuan has far too many die-hard fans, including quite a few who know how to search for information and access foreign websites. He was quickly rendered speechless by the arguments.

Gao Wuwei, however, did not believe this was an American problem; he simply felt that Chen Yuan's fans were being unreasonable.
My previous admiration for Chen Yuan has vanished, and I've transferred some of my disgust for his brainless fans onto Chen Yuan himself.

Gao Wuwei changed the subject, accusing Chen Yuan of not only being ungrateful for Hollywood's support in making movies, but also secretly inserting his own agenda to smear the United States, which he said was utterly dishonest.

But a photo of Chen Yuan embracing Amy Pascal, chairman of Columbia Pictures, left him speechless.

Columbia Pictures pocketed the lion's share of the box office revenue from "The Edge Walker," successfully launching the "cyberpunk" franchise.

Columbia Pictures' stock price has risen by almost 7%, and the increased market value is enough for them to make another twenty "The Edge Walker" movies.

Now Columbia Pictures is thanking Chen Yuan for supporting him in making a sequel!

His brainless fans are cursing him, but even Americans themselves aren't cursing Chen Yuan. This yellow-skinned lackey is the first to start licking his boots. Damn it, Chen Yuan, Gao Wuwei has truly gained a profound understanding of capitalism!

Gao Wuwei was severely criticized and, unable to contain his anger, bought a ticket to see "The Edge Walker" himself.
He recorded many flaws and shortcomings in the movies, and he wouldn't feel at ease unless he cursed the despicable Chen Yuan!
Back then, Chen Yuan was so obsequious when he sought support from the president of Sony, but who would have thought he would be such a heartless and treacherous person.

In the film "The Edge Walker," the Arasaka Tower, the headquarters building of the Arasaka Group, is a concrete symbol of all oppression and injustice. It turns out to be the Sony headquarters in Ginza, Tokyo.

How can anyone be so disgusting to their own investors? This will have a huge impact on the Sony Group. It's like a real-life version of 'The Farmer and the Snake'!

Chen Yuan is a person with no credibility whatsoever, yet it's laughable that a bunch of young people are fanatically following him. With this kind of quality, the post-80s generation is absolutely incapable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rise.

The National Bureau of Statistics once predicted that China's GDP would surpass Japan's around 2050.

In my opinion, as long as the public continues to idolize scoundrels like Chen Yuan, we will never surpass Japan.

After posting his lengthy and patriotic remarks on Tianya Forum, Gao Wuwei felt a sense of relief and comfort.
Fortunately, he had seen photos of Sony's Tokyo headquarters when Sony executives were exchanging ideas at the university. While watching the movie, he felt that some design elements looked familiar. After checking, he found out that the design of Arasaka Tower was indeed inspired by Sony's headquarters!

He genuinely admired Chen Yuan; how dare he so blatantly smear his own benefactor?

Now Chen Yuan's die-hard fans will have no reason to defend him!

Now he hopes Sony will directly sue Chen Yuan in court and make him bleed money!

He enjoyed a cigarette, imagining Chen Yuan's reputation ruined, being sued, his endorsements revoked, facing hefty compensation payments and troublesome lawsuits.
Imagining him as an upright and outspoken man who had stripped away Chen Yuan's hypocritical facade, I couldn't help but be captivated.

Don't blame me, blame your brainless fans for being disgusting, blame your arrogance for being too overbearing!
After finishing my cigarette, I made myself another cup of instant coffee, brought it to my computer desk, and stirred it while checking the comments I had just posted.

Contrary to expectations, there was no outcry from the crowd to expose Chen Yuan as a scoundrel. The post did contain both agreement and skepticism, along with Chen Yuan's fans barking as usual.

However, on the seventh floor, someone posted a screenshot of an Asahi Shimbun newspaper article. The headline contained Chinese characters such as "mother," "climb," and "Arasaka Tower."

Below the newspaper was a photo of Chen Yuan and Sony Chairman Nobuyuki Idei standing together on the rooftop of Sony headquarters, both smiling happily, with the bustling skyscrapers of Ginza in the background.

Based on the photos, one can understand their meaning at a glance without needing Japanese. The CEO of Sony not only didn't mind Chen Yuan making fun of his company, but also cooperated with Chen Yuan in promoting the movie.

Is this how abstract the Japanese are?

Chen Yuan is slapping you hard across the face! How can you, the chairman of a Fortune 500 company ranked in the top 40, willingly offer your other cheek for him to slap?

How could you be so despicable, you little devil! I'll f*** your mother!
