This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 198 is about Chen Yuan forcing Fan Binbin to have an abortion!
To quell the public outcry, simply releasing the facts won't suffice.

While the majority of people sent their blessings to Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin, it is undeniable that a small portion of their fans are die-hard fans dedicated solely to Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin.

Multiplying this small portion by the two individuals' huge fan base, the number of people is still quite large.

They not only didn't want Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin to get married and have children, they didn't even want the two of them to be together.

These voices are usually suppressed by CP fans, but this time, the huge pregnancy misunderstanding involving Fan Binbin gave them a good laugh, so they naturally couldn't help but post some celebratory comments online.
Heartbroken CP fans and solo fans started tearing each other apart. Today's internet users are still very simple and straightforward, and they like to speak their minds directly, unlike those in later generations who are good at abstraction and sarcastic remarks.

As a result, a group of people started tearing each other apart and hurling insults at each other because of their favorite celebrities.

Fan wars aren't a serious matter; this kind of scenario happens all the time, it's just that this time it's on a slightly larger scale.

What's most disgusting is that some people spread rumors that Fan Binbin is indeed pregnant, but Chen Yuan, in order to break into Hollywood, is sucking up to white patrons.
Not wanting Fan Binbin's pregnancy to hinder the normal filming schedule of the sequel to "The Edge Walker", he made Fan Binbin abort his child.

This aligns with the blurry surveillance footage showing Fan Binbin clearly crying after leaving the hospital, and Chen Yuan also appearing very downcast.

This rumor is extremely malicious, portraying Chen Yuan as a heartless and servile person who would not hesitate to kill his own descendants for the sake of his career and honor.

Fan Binbin was also portrayed as a pathetic plaything who had no independent thought, was completely dependent on Chen Yuan, and had no autonomy over her own body.

This not only maliciously damages the good reputation the two had previously built, but also severely undermines the reputation of the film "The Edge Walker".

The rumor that Chen Yuan forced Fan Binbin to have an abortion was outrageous, but it spread at an astonishing speed. By the time the public opinion monitoring department of the metaverse, which was operating at full capacity, discovered it, it was already completely out of control.

Since his meteoric rise in 2000, Chen Yuan has repeatedly created commercial miracles and produced impressive and sensational works, making Metaverse the leading force in China's film and entertainment industry.

With a string of legendary experiences, Chen Yuan is known as a genius, a master, and a prodigy. His numerous honors have made him one of the most famous celebrities in China.

Compared to other celebrities who are often involved in numerous controversies, Chen Yuan, who started from scratch, rarely gives interviews and has almost never appeared on variety shows, although he has appeared on CCTV's News Broadcast a few times.

Newspaper reports about him usually focus on his collaborations with executives of well-known companies.

His arrogant and unrestrained speaking style in his early years has transformed into one of youthful ambition and foresight as his career and status have risen. What was once a weakness that the media relentlessly criticized has now become a strength.

Outsiders have very limited knowledge of Chen Yuan; they only know that he is very capable and powerful.
In addition, Chen Yuan has always maintained his reputation, which has made his image somewhat too perfect, appearing very noble and righteous.

The news of Chen Yuan forcing Fan Binbin to have an abortion spread so quickly, not only because he directly exposed such a huge bombshell, attracting countless onlookers, but also because...
Another reason is that many people don't believe Chen Yuan is as capable or perfect as the media portrays him.

It cannot be ruled out that competitors from the metaverse are fueling the flames, but most of the people involved are probably those who have long disliked Chen Yuan's constant pretentiousness, and they are constantly arguing with his and Fan Binbin's fans.

With public opinion suddenly shifting like this, Fan Binbin's previous amusement at Chen Yuan's other women completely vanished, and she truly panicked.

This rumor that she was forced to have an abortion by Chen Yuan is absolutely vicious!

Only after everyone who had gathered in the hotel late at night had left did she dare to show her panic, "Chen Yuan, what should I do?"

Binbin's eyes, which were always brimming with starlight, now resembled two deep pools, with an intense, unyielding sense of self-reproach and worry churning within them.

Nestled against her thick, black hair, Chen Yuan pulled Binbin into his arms. "Don't blame yourself, don't apologize, don't be afraid. It's just some incompetent clamor from haters and a backlash from public opinion."

Chen Yuan helped Binbin sit down, then refocused his gaze on the still incredibly lively Chinese internet, even in the dead of night.

One can imagine how exciting tomorrow's newspaper's society and entertainment sections will be. "But this rumor is too powerful; if we really can't handle it..."

Chen Yuan flicked Binbin's head lightly, "Do you want to cut open your stomach and let others see how many bowls you ate, and let others see if you've ever had an abortion?"

Silly girl, don't fall into this low-level self-justification trap; it's useless.

Those who create gods and those who destroy them are often the same group of people. We two are too prominent, and sooner or later we'll become targets of collective attack. Even without this incident, there will be another one.

Looking at Chen Yuan's calm and resolute face, Fan Binbin didn't say anything more, but simply hugged the arm of this man who always gave her warmth and confidence tightly.

Chen Yuan, while watching the online updates, reflected on why he was so passive this time.

He does seem a bit too 'superficial' and out of touch with reality. He's always busy and doesn't need the same amount of exposure as other celebrities to maintain his popularity.

Sometimes he'd rather have fun with girls than give interviews.

This definitely needs to be changed.

Furthermore, with the rapid development of the internet, various voices are too scattered, and there are no platforms like Weibo, Douyin, or Bilibili that allow him to disseminate his thoughts in a timely manner.

Debunking rumors now relies too heavily on traditional media, and the results are not very good. Plus, he is currently abroad and has no way to use his power.

Zuckerberg's Facebook page launched at the end of last year, and now has expanded to 100 million users, with its influence spreading beyond campuses.

Why don't he create his own Weibo-like product and make it the main battlefield for public opinion?

In the film and entertainment industry, media channels are of paramount importance. Chen Yuan originally planned to wait for those internet giants to develop their products before investing and reaping the benefits.

But now, having been taught a lesson by reality, Chen Yuan believes that passively waiting is not the way to go.

Regardless of whether the final outcome is bankruptcy, acquisition, or he becomes an internet tycoon, it's worth a try.

Upon closer reflection, he could do more than just Weibo. The later Bilibili media platform, which integrates video and community, is very suitable for the development of the metaverse.

At this moment, the universe was flush with cash, and Chen Yuan had already begun to have people buy up online streaming rights from other film and television companies in large quantities.

Currently, no one cares about internet copyrights. Metaverse buys them as long as you pay, and they're basically sold at rock-bottom prices.

Copyrights that are ignored now will become a considerable fortune ten years later.

Having thought a bit too far ahead, Chen Yuan grasped Binbin's slightly cold hand, pulling his wandering thoughts back to reality. The most important issue now was resolving the current public opinion crisis.

Chen Yuan already had a plan of how to deal with it.

These shallow-minded guys are spreading rumors and nonsense based on the belief that the "Fringe Walker" project is crucial for their Hollywood breakthrough and cannot be missed.

But that's only half the story. Chen Yuan did want to use Hollywood to expand his fame, but Columbia Pictures also needed Chen Yuan to create more influential IPs and more profits. It was a win-win situation for both sides.

The Night City leasing plan perfectly proves that it's not that Chen Yuan yearns for foreign countries, but rather that foreign companies are chasing after him!
