Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Although Weibo crashed, people's enthusiasm for discussion did not diminish at all.

Wang Churan was one of them. She nestled in Su Yu's arms, her fingers tapping away on the screen. Sometimes she was chatting away with her girlfriends, and other times she was having a lively discussion with a few close friends in the industry.

She was an 18-year-old girl who had absolutely no resistance to gossip about a top celebrity announcing their relationship. She was so excited that she would report the latest developments to Su Yu every few minutes.

"Haha, baby, look at this! Some fans are stubbornly insisting that Lu Han's account was hacked! It's hilarious!"

Even Tian Xiwei kept sending messages to Su Yu to discuss this topic.

She's not usually the type to gossip, but this was just too explosive, and she couldn't help but send Su Yu a lot of messages.

"Lu Han has officially announced his relationship??"

"Weibo crashed! I've been trying to load it for ten minutes and it still won't load!"

"Honey, why is Lu Han so fierce?"

While serving as a human sofa for Wang Churan, Su Yu also managed to reply to Tian Xiwei's messages in his spare time, barely daring to breathe.

After all, if this gets discovered, Su Yu will probably be trending on social media tomorrow.

Meanwhile, even his college roommates, who didn't usually follow the entertainment industry, sent him WeChat messages asking about the incident.

"Hey bro, do you have any inside information in this industry? Is this real or just hype?"

"Awesome! Lu Han is a real man!"

This shows just how much discussion Lu Han's official announcement generated.

Around 2 PM, Sina Weibo's various functions were gradually restored.

To cope with this surge in traffic, Weibo temporarily added a thousand servers to barely keep up.

Netizens who had been waiting for an hour and a half could no longer suppress their desire to watch the drama unfold, and they all rushed to Weibo.

On the trending topics list, nine out of the top ten were related to Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong! Another trending topic was also related to him, which was #Weibo crashed#, since Weibo crashed because of this incident involving the two of them.

#LuHanGuanXiaotongOfficiallyAnnounceRelationship# The black and red "Explosive" tag has been hanging there all this time, and the number of views has exceeded one billion.

This surge in traffic almost crashed Weibo again.

Subsequently, netizens quickly dug into the matter and discovered that the two had already been secretly showing affection on Weibo before their official announcement.

For example, Guan Xiaotong once posted a photo on Weibo in which Lu Han's clothes could be vaguely seen in the background. At the time, fans thought it was just a normal behind-the-scenes shot and didn't think about it in that way at all.

Lu Han once posted a Weibo message late at night with the caption "Can't sleep, looking at the stars," and Guan Xiaotong's same star emoji was found by fans in the comments section.

Earlier, the matching bracelets, hats, and background walls worn by the two during the filming of "Sweet Combat," details that fans initially dismissed as coincidences, have now been brought up for re-examination.

It matches up! Everything matches up!

After netizens dug up these details, Lu Han's female fans were instantly devastated.

Even fans who weren't actually girlfriend fans were extremely angry.

You two can secretly show off your relationship in private, but now you're doing it publicly. Isn't that like blatantly attacking us?

In fact, many fans in the Chinese entertainment industry are quite tolerant. Even if you are caught on camera, as long as you deny it to the death, your fans will imagine the truth and forgive you.

Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong had been exposed before, but fans automatically ignored it.

But now that you've made it official, aren't you slapping us fans in the face?

What made it even harder for fans to accept was that just a few hours before the official announcement, Lu Han posted a Weibo post promoting his new song, and fans were interacting enthusiastically in the comments section, completely unaware that a storm was about to break.

Many fans looked back at that Weibo post afterward and felt like they had acted like idiots.

We've been working so hard to generate data for you, and you just turn around and go public with it to your girlfriend?

Thus began the biggest wave of fan exodus in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Three hours after the official announcement, Lu Han lost 820,000 followers.

Keep in mind that the followers you gain may not all be real people, but the followers you lose are definitely real people.

In addition to the loss of 820,000 active fans, what's even more devastating is that hundreds of fan support sites, data sites, and anti-black sites have directly announced their closure.

Dozens of core fans posted lengthy articles announcing they were leaving the fandom; those articles were filled with heartbreaking words.

Many of these people are super fans who have spent over a million yuan on Lu Han.

These people are the key to supporting a popular celebrity.

The loss of core fans was a huge blow to Lu Han, and his commercial value plummeted instantly.

The brands that had previously agreed to renew their endorsement contracts have begun to re-evaluate them.

Lu Han's starring drama "Sweet Combat" is currently in the promotion period. Guan Xiaotong is the female lead in the drama. The pairing of the two was originally the biggest highlight of the drama, but after the official announcement, public opinion took a sharp turn for the worse.

Fans refused to promote the show due to their dissatisfaction with the relationship, which significantly impacted the show's reputation and popularity.

Around 6 p.m., Huo Xiaolan called Su Yu again.

"Lu Han has really suffered a lot this time." Huo Xiaolan's tone was still very excited.

"Lu Han has lost so many active fans this time. Although he won't fall out of the top ranks, it's still a major blow to his career."

"More importantly, he probably won't be able to maintain that kind of overwhelming dominance again. Before, all his statistics were overwhelming, and there was an insurmountable gap between you and him. But now he has bridged that gap himself."

At this point, both of them laughed in unison.

Then, Huo Xiaolan added mysteriously, "I heard that Lu Han's official announcement this time was because of Dilraba."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is Dilraba involved in this?"

"It's because Lu Han and her on-screen couple on 'Running Man' were so popular that Guan Xiaotong wasn't happy about it and had several arguments with Lu Han."

"As a result, Lu Han acted impulsively and wanted to use an official announcement to prove that he and Dilraba had nothing going on."

Huo Xiaolan paused, her tone tinged with emotion, "Gege Guan has done a great thing for everyone."

Su Yu was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.

This is more than just a great thing; this Princess Guan is practically a living Bodhisattva!

Without her making such a fuss, Lu Han wouldn't have made an official announcement. Without Lu Han's official announcement, top celebrities like Su Yu would have had a hard time getting a chance to rise to the top.

It has to be said, this couple are both kind and righteous people! No wonder they were able to get together!

"He's really something else. He ruined his career for his girlfriend. It must have been true love."

Huo Xiaolan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then her tone suddenly became serious: "You absolutely must never do anything foolish like him in the future. Your fan base is far smaller than his. If you do something like that, given your size, you'll really die instantly."

Su Yu turned his head and glanced at Wang Churan, who was still happily eating melon seeds.

She was using a secondary account to enthusiastically flood the trending topics page, muttering to herself and laughing foolishly:

"Baby, look at this! Someone dug up an old interview with Lu Han, saying his ideal type is someone like Guan Xiaotong!"

"Haha, this netizen called Lu Han 'the number one love-obsessed person in the Chinese entertainment industry,' it's hilarious!"

Su Yu turned his gaze away from her face and said into the phone, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
