Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 97 Aftermath (Bonus chapter for the donation to Twenty-Five Bridges Under the Bright Moon)

After Su Yu posted that Weibo post, it immediately caused a huge uproar in the industry.

After all, it's been a very long time since a top celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry has personally gotten involved in dating.

The last time a celebrity directly criticized someone on Weibo was last year when Edison Chen used foul language to curse Lin Chih-ling on Weibo.

The number of reposts and comments on that Weibo post skyrocketed from the usual few thousand to several times over, dominating the top of the trending topics for several days.

Less than an hour after the Weibo post was published, the number of comments exceeded 100,000 and the number of likes approached 300,000.

Some uninformed bystanders also clicked in out of curiosity.

"What's wrong with Su Yu?"

Who was he cursing?

The top comments section was quickly taken over by the little raindrops, who began to explain the ins and outs of the matter to these newcomers.

Now the onlookers finally understood what had happened!

So people started leaving comments in the comment section: "It's been a long time since I've seen a celebrity who feels so real."

"Okay, that's manly enough. If I encountered something like that, I would definitely curse the other person so badly they wouldn't recognize their own mother."

"I'm not a fan of his, but I'm on his side this time. It would be cowardly to stay silent after being stabbed in the back several times."

"I was indifferent to Su Yu before, but this Weibo post changed my mind. At least this person isn't pretentious."

This simple Weibo post criticizing someone actually improved Su Yu's public image.

Meanwhile, those who had been educated about the famous saying "friends are for selling" traced the source of the quote back to its origin.

Almost overnight, Yang Yang's Weibo comment section was flooded with questions and sarcasm: "How much do you know about what your agent did?"

"Why aren't you saying anything now that Jia Shikai has been seduced?"

Yang Yang's public image has been significantly affected by this incident. Although he was not directly involved in spreading rumors, his name is inextricably linked to Jia Shikai, making it impossible for him to distance himself from the situation.

Jia Shikai, on the other hand, also broke his silence.

Shortly after Su Yu posted that Weibo, Jia Shikai also updated his Weibo with a new post.

"Having been in this industry for over ten years, the innocent have nothing to fear!"

"I have never instructed anyone to spread rumors!"

"Some young artists, after only a few days of becoming famous, have learned to take advantage of situations and maliciously slander others, using Weibo as a tool to vent their personal grievances."

"It's true that one's character isn't determined by whether one is famous or not. Instead of wasting time causing trouble online, one should practice acting skills."

After this Weibo post was published, two groups of people quickly flooded the comment section: one group was Yang Yang's fans, the "Yang Yang fans," and the other group was the remnants of the anti-fans from various groups who had been crushed by the "Little Raindrops" before.

"Finally, someone in the industry dares to speak the truth! The character of some individuals is truly worrying!"

"It won't last more than three years; just wait for the backlash."

"His acting skills are really bad, so he can only resort to these crooked methods."

"Is this the kind of quality a top celebrity has? I suggest banning them."

But less than twenty minutes after that group started jumping around in the comments section, the little raindrops arrived.

"Jia Gou, what are you pretending for? 'The innocent are innocent'? You're talking about 'the innocent are innocent'? You're innocent my ass!"

"Hilarious! This scoundrel got caught and is now acting all high and mighty on Weibo? When will the court summons arrive? Don't pretend to be dead and say you're not feeling well to appear in court again."

The front row was flooded with comments from netizens using slang and references from the "Zu'an" forum, with likes on each comment skyrocketing.

The fans tried to help Jia Shikai control the comments, but they were immediately countered by the fans.

"Stop protecting your master, Jia Gou is your father, why are you being so filial?"

"Yang Yang has such a manager, and you're still protecting him. I really feel sorry for you guys."

Before long, the top comments section of Jia Shikai's comment section was completely filled with insults and aggressive questions from his fans.

The wool struggled fiercely, but they couldn't hold it back at all.

The little raindrops had just emerged from three days of chaotic fighting, weathering countless battles and never losing a fight against the combined forces of four factions. Now, dealing with these little karami would be a piece of cake.

Jia Shikai did not reply to any comments.

Ten minutes later, his Weibo comment section was closed.

An hour later, he deleted the Weibo post that said "the innocent will clear themselves".

As a surfing enthusiast, Su Yu naturally knew about the fans' attack on Jia Shikai.

However, he did not stop them, after all, having been targeted twice in a row, the two families were already mortal enemies.

The fact that I didn't personally go to his comment section to curse him shows that I have a lot of manners.

When he saw these fans charging forward for him, a very subtle feeling welled up inside him.

Before he entered the entertainment industry in his previous life, he saw on Weibo those fan groups fighting and controlling comments and engaging in flame wars for their idols, and he thought these people were really brainless.

These people were tearing each other apart over a celebrity they didn't even know, and he just found it funny at the time.

A group of young girls, instead of studying and working properly, are worrying about other people's problems all day long. What are they trying to achieve?

But things are different now, because now he is the one being protected.

He suddenly realized how adorable these little girls were!

Indeed, the essence of humanity is hypocrisy!

After this battle, the little raindrops' cohesion soared to unprecedented heights.

Meanwhile, the fans who switched allegiances when Lu Han made his official announcement fought alongside the fans in this battle, and the integration between new and old fans was quite thorough.

The bond forged through shared battles is far stronger than that of fans attracted solely by idol appeal.

And Su Yu was once again passively "purified" his fanbase.

This incident has increased Su Yu's fame once again, albeit for both good and bad reasons.

Although he won this time, he also gained a lot of haters.

No matter how good his work is or how stable his public image is, these people will continue to label him with the tags from this incident.

Those rival fans, haters, and marketing accounts will one day have someone launch a "history book" to dig up those debunked rumors and use them as the next target for attack.

But Su Yu didn't care.

After all, which celebrity doesn't have a few haters?

In this industry, being criticized isn't scary; what's scary is not having any buzz.

As long as people watch his dramas, listen to his songs, and his fans are willing to follow him to the end, those labels are just paper tigers.

A day later, Huo Xiaolan pushed open the office door.

She held a newly printed data report in her hand, her expression somewhat subtle.

"The buzz surrounding your Weibo post hasn't completely died down yet. The brand has pushed out three more rounds of collaboration offers, which I've already had Xiao Zhou organize. Also, regarding '7'..."

"Because of your Weibo post, many male passersby have become more favorable towards you, and your public image has improved considerably."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow.

"That's not hard to understand."

Huo Xiaolan slammed the report on the table. "This time, you didn't portray a perfect idol," she said, "but rather a real person who gets angry when provoked."

"Compared to celebrities who are always poised and never show any flaws, the public is more willing to accept a real person with emotions and a temper."

"Is this a blessing in disguise?" Su Yu said lazily, leaning back on the sofa.

"I suppose so." Huo Xiaolan nodded, then changed the subject, "But I have to give you a heads-up. Although Jia Shikai has admitted defeat, everyone in the industry knows what kind of person he is. I heard that he's been cursing you in private, saying he'll definitely give you a hard time next time."

Su Yu sneered: "Then let him come."
