Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 96

After the rumors started circulating, fans of Su Yu's rivals went on a rampage in his fan page.

[Hilarious! Your friend's non-celebrity sister-in-law can't be hidden anymore, right?]

[Your Fish's new female lead is a joke. She's got zero experience, parachuted into the lead role, and it's the first drama Your Fish put together themselves. Who would believe there's nothing going on?]

The fish eggs are still being washed; it's like the rice is being steamed and boiled—they're practically being beaten to death but they're still pretending not to see it.

[This platform only became popular by stealing other people's roles, and I don't know where their fans get the nerve to defend them.]

The raindrops weren't going to sit idly by. Seeing these people daring to run wild on their territory, they immediately retaliated with a barrage of insults.

So what if it's just dirt? You guys have too little dirt on yourselves? We'll dig it all up for you in no time!

[Did you even pass your first science exam before trying to piggyback on the fame of a 985 university graduate?]

[You haven't even properly cleaned your own steamer and pot, yet you dare to come out and cause trouble?]

[Fans of "treasure boy" dare to show their faces? Should I remind you where this term comes from?]

[Hilarious! Fans of those washed-up celebrities, please don't try to piggyback on my Su-ge's popularity, okay? What else does your Su-ge do besides pretending to be stupid on variety shows? —]

Does he represent a breakthrough?

The melee lasted for three whole days.

The little raindrops managed to hold their own even when facing a combined attack from fans of at least four top-tier celebrities.

It can only be said that the addition of the former Reed Sisters greatly enhanced Little Raindrop's fighting power.

After all, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy.

The former Reed Sisters used to fight with these people's fans quite a bit. After such a long love-hate relationship, they can easily find all sorts of dirt on their rivals.

The posts on Douban's Gossip Group and Melon Group were repeatedly bumped, reported, deleted, and reposted by fans from various parties, in a continuous cycle.

Every few hours, new trending topics appear on the hot search page, only to be taken over by another group's fans.

Bystanders have long since stopped caring who's right and who's wrong; they just feel that the entire Chinese entertainment industry has gone mad.

The constant stream of revelations has provided a thoroughly entertaining spectacle for onlookers and bystanders.

Su Yu also took this opportunity to learn his nickname: Fish, or more aggressively, Dead Fish.

It has to be said that these fans are quite creative.

He racked his brains but couldn't come up with such a word. He could only say that everyone has their own expertise. When it comes to bashing others, these fan groups are more professional and more disgusting.

When it comes to creativity, it's the fangirls who are the ones who suffer.

Perhaps this is talent!

As the winds shifted, the situation completely reversed.

And this is the moment the little raindrops have been waiting for.

Faced with this statement, the fighting spirit of the opposing fans was significantly weakened.

Previously, they used various rumors as weapons, but now that the higher-ups have definitively declared them to be rumors, those excuses used to attack Su Yu have instantly become untenable.

If we don't chase after them and kill them now, what are we waiting for?

Thus, the liquidation officially began.

Because there were people watching over them this time, the raindrops were very disciplined.

Before the campaign, the fan club issued a unified action guideline: only release solid evidence of wrongdoing, no profanity, no photoshopping, no spreading rumors, and no attacking the other party's family.

The others were no match for the raindrops' charge and retreated in defeat.

The three-day-long fan war finally ended with a complete victory for Xiaoyudi.

More importantly, after the raindrops were sprayed, subtle changes occurred inside them.

The new fans who switched over from Lu Han's group were initially somewhat separated within the group, but after they cursed each other together, the separation disappeared.

Meanwhile, Yang Yang's agent, Jia Shikai, was sitting in his office at Yuekai Film and Television, sweating profusely.

A document lay before him, titled "Investigation Notice Regarding Recent Online Rumors," stamped with an official seal that made his heart race. It demanded that Yuekai Films provide a written explanation of the process for placing the term "minors" in its content.

This is a direct inquiry from above, not a regular regulatory letter; it's a targeted warning specifically aimed at this incident.

Jia Shikai's shirt was soaked with sweat from his back.

He recalled how Huo Xiaolan retaliated when he tried to discredit Su Yu last time, resulting in the loss of nearly half of his marketing accounts.

But at least that time it was still within the scope of business competition, and the higher-ups didn't intervene.

This time was different; he specifically chose a weakness he thought he could absolutely exploit to kill Su Yu.

Once this label is attached, regardless of the truth, Su Yu will be severely injured, if not killed.

He's been in this industry for almost twenty years, so he knows all too well what kind of crime can ruin an artist's career.

This is an absolute taboo in the entertainment industry. As long as this label is attached to Su Yu, no matter how he tries to clarify it later, there will always be some people who will believe it.

As long as Yang Yang can bring down Su Yu, he can reap the biggest rewards, just like Su Yu got his fill when Lu Han fell.

Jia Shikai wanted to replicate the positive impact of Lu Han's downfall on Su Yu, but he overlooked a crucial issue: the attitude of those above him.

He wanted to use the label of "minor" to smear and destroy Su Yu, but instead he touched a nerve with his superiors.

While Jia Shikai was wiping sweat in his office, Su Yu was looking at some documents in his studio.

Huo Xiaolan had just handed over the investigation results.

Although the online marketing company hired by Jia Shikai used various roundabout methods to cover up the source of funds, Huo Xiaolan found the placement records through BlueFocus's channels.

It can only be said that Jia Shikai really went all out this time. The cost of the first wave of advertising alone exceeded seven figures, and the subsequent waves of advertising added up to three or four million.

"So it was Jia Shikai who put up the entry about minors." Huo Xiaolan put the materials on the table. "The one whose track overlaps most with yours right now is Yang Yang, who works under him. He was the one who pushed you last time, and he's doing it again this time."

The person in the entertainment industry whose career path overlaps most with Su Yu's is Yang Yang, an artist under his management.

They are all young male actors who started their careers in idol dramas.

If Su Yu falls, Yang Yang will be able to get the biggest slice of the pie, just like when Lu Han fell and Su Yu got his fill.

This logic is so simple that it requires no explanation.

"Damn it, is this bastard crazy? Why is he targeting me? He's like a persistent ghost!"

Su Yu was genuinely annoyed this time. He let it go last time, but this time it happened again?

And it seems that Jia Shikai really wants to beat him to death this time.

They dare to throw such dirty water at him, are they afraid he won't die?!

"They messed with me before I became famous, and now that I'm famous, they're still messing with me. What was the point of my fame if I didn't become famous?"

So Su Yu picked up his phone.

Huo Xiaolan's eyelids twitched as she watched Su Yu's actions.

"Don't be impulsive."

"No, I can't swallow this."

Su Yu wasn't a particularly good-tempered person to begin with; it was only after entering the entertainment industry that he began to be more careful with his words and actions.

These people keep taking advantage of us, they think they're easy to bully if we don't teach them a lesson.

So Su Yu opened Weibo, typed out a bunch of words, and sent it directly.

"Some people are like rats in the gutter, unable to bear the light or the success of others. Do they really think that hiding behind a screen means nobody knows who they are? Didn't you say that friends are for selling?" Well, that's true. People like you probably don't deserve friends at all. There's a reason why everyone hates you.

This Weibo post did not name names directly, but the statement "Friends are for selling" is something Jia Shikai once said publicly, and people in the industry know it.

In an instant, the hashtags #SuYuSpeaksOut# and #SuYuSpotsIt# surged to the top of Weibo's trending topics, and the comment section and the public square exploded.

"Su Su actually got involved herself?!"

"Support my Su Zhengyi's voice!"

"Is this the first time a top celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry has personally endorsed a product? Awesome!"

"A certain agent: Friends are just for selling. Su: There's a reason why this kind of person is universally condemned."

"Is this considered a subtle dig? Although no name was mentioned, people in the industry know immediately who it refers to, right? The one who's good at smear campaigns, the one who publicly said 'friends are just for selling.'"

"Su Su must have been really disgusted this time. She didn't even leave the studio, but went straight to log in and start criticizing."

"Jia Shikai is truly disgusting. This time, I'm on Su Yu's side."

"Wow, Su Yu is really something, isn't he? How does he always manage to escape unscathed from these kinds of situations?"

"Is it possible that I, Su, am simply upright and have nothing to hide?"

Seeing the uproar online, Huo Xiaolan looked at Su Yu with a helpless expression.

"Do you realize the huge uproar your Weibo post will cause?"

"I know, so what? I've never been a nice guy."

Su Yu looked completely unconcerned. He hadn't named anyone, hadn't uttered a single swear word, and had only told the truth, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Oh well, what's done is done, so this is the only way."

Huo Xiaolan covered her forehead. Her boss could be really willful sometimes, and once he got carried away with his emotions, he couldn't control himself at all.

Xiao Zhou, standing to the side, was refreshing the comments on Su Yu's Weibo account on his phone.

"Sister Huo, I see a lot of people online are on Brother Yu's side, it seems like nothing's wrong."

Huo Xiaolan also went over to take a look, and hey, it really was like that.

Her heart immediately settled down.

Her concerns were not unfounded, after all, no other top celebrity had ever done something like Su Yu.

It would be bad if it offended passersby and caused a collapse in reputation.

However, Su Yu handled the situation very well this time, neither swearing nor naming names, leaving no evidence for others to use against him.

And most importantly, what he said was all true, so outsiders had no room to criticize him; at most, they could only say that he didn't understand the rules.

Su Yu then added, "Also, Sister Huo, remember to send Jia Shikai a lawyer's letter. Since we've already made enemies, we might as well give him a good beating."

Huo Xiaolan nodded. "Don't worry, this was all prepared before you even mentioned it. We've already got something on him this time. He'll be in serious trouble, if not dead."

"That's good!"

Hearing Huo Xiaolan say this, Su Yu finally felt a lot of relief.

"I'll definitely crush this bastard when I get the chance!"
