Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Around 2010, Tianya Forum was a major source of internet gossip, and its entertainment gossip section was hailed by netizens as a "gossip mecca".

With over 1500 million daily page views, it can be considered a "trendsetter" in the Chinese entertainment industry.

A large number of onlookers, industry insiders, online trolls, and media professionals have paid close attention to the matter.

On the day the scandal broke in Hong Kong, a post revealing the information quickly rose to the top of the trending list.

Is rising musical talent Shen Yan about to take off? Hong Kong media shockingly reports he had a late-night rendezvous with national goddess Gao Yuanyuan.

"Fellow netizens, I'm just a nobody studying in Hong Kong. This morning I saw the media report and I was completely stunned!"

If I remember correctly, Shen Yan debuted in January with hit songs like "My Song" and "The Ordinary Road".

These are photos taken by Hong Kong media, showing the two eating late-night snacks together and feeding each other, as well as photos of them returning to their hotel together.

Although I admit that Shen Yan's songs are very good and he is very talented, wasn't there a rumor about him having an affair with Taiwanese actress Chang Junning just last month?

So he's already hooked up with Gao Yuanyuan again? That's ridiculously fast!

The post, complete with pictures and evidence, instantly went viral.

[Oh my god! First comment! This is fresh news! Look at that picture, Goddess Gao is smiling so sweetly, she looks like she's in the throes of new love!]

[Hong Kong media are really ripping people off! They're spouting all sorts of nonsense: strategic reserves, recovering lost weapons—they've snatched all the best bait on the mountain!]

[Fake! Definitely fake! Yan Ge went to attend David Tao's concert. Hong Kong media love to believe everything they hear, so the photos were definitely taken at the wrong angle.]

[Wake up, fans upstairs! Zhang Junning was born in 82, and Gao Yuanyuan in 79. They are both several years older than Shen Yan. It's confirmed that they like mature women.]

[Ahem, this timeline is too tight! The filming of "The Weaver Girl" just wrapped up last month, and rumors about Zhang Junning and him are still circulating. Shen Yan's album was released in early February, and he's been incredibly busy. How could he still hook up with Gao Yuanyuan? Either it's a publicity stunt, or Shen Yan is incredibly efficient and has a very short break from work.]

[By the way, did Gao Yuanyuan and Yu Xiaowei break up? Is the relationship between Shen Yan and Zhang Junning real? If so, have they broken up? Waiting for the truth online!]

【…】

"Damn it! They're all talking nonsense!"

Upon seeing the exposé post on Tianya, Nazha became so angry that his hands turned into a typewriter as he engaged in intense online arguments with netizens.

How could Brother Yan possibly be interested in that kind of old woman!

He's a fan of mature women!

Does Yan-ge like a beautiful girl like her?

One is a rising star in the music scene, and the other is a nearly A-list actress who has been in the industry for many years and has a high level of national recognition. With pictures and evidence, the news instantly ignited the enthusiasm of netizens.

On the Tangren side, Cai Yinong saw the news and was so angry that her face turned ashen. She immediately made a phone call to Shen Yan.

Power off!

All I heard from the receiver was a cold busy tone; no one answered!

After several unsuccessful attempts, she suppressed her anger and dialed Zhang Dandan's number.

"What? You don't know where he is?"

Hearing Zhang Dandan's hesitant reply on the other end of the phone, Cai Yinong raised her voice several notches.

"What are you good for?"

"what?"

"An assistant who doesn't follow the artist around and doesn't even know their whereabouts?"

"And another thing, my good friend, do you even believe it yourself?"

call!

suck!

call!

suck!

Despite taking several deep breaths, Cai Yinong still couldn't recover.

He got together with Zhang Junning while filming. At the time, she didn't say anything. They were both single, and it was consensual. How can you say that?

but!

but!

It's only been a short time since filming wrapped up.

Ten days! Less than ten days!

Has he hooked up with Gao Yuanyuan again?

Cai Yinong was both annoyed and amused; the speed at which this seamless transition happened was simply outrageous!

"Oh no, Sister K!"

At that moment, Hu Jia rushed into the office, clutching his laptop and looking flustered.

"Look at Tianya, someone there has dropped a bombshell, saying that Shen Yan had nearly ten girlfriends in two and a half years of college, and even listed a detailed timeline, it's written with great detail."

"What?"

Cai Yinong's vision went black.

Two and a half years, ten?

soon.

She saw the post from the original poster, which was several hundred words long and even included several names, as well as schools for those without names.

Central Conservatory of Music, Central Academy of Drama, Academy of Fine Arts, Communication University of China...

Good guy!

We'll catch them all in one fell swoop!

"Sister K, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Seeing that Cai Yinong's chest was bulging like a bellows about to explode, Hu Jia quickly comforted her.

"After taking a closer look, something seems off about this revelation; it doesn't seem like something a regular netizen would casually reveal."

These words helped Cai Yinong to calm her anger. The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, naturally filled with deceit and treachery.

"You mean, someone is deliberately targeting Shen Yan?"

"At first I didn't think so."

Hu Jia analyzed it carefully.

"But if you look at Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, the related news is appearing too quickly and too frequently."

"Furthermore, the popularity of posts on Tieba and Tianya is abnormal, clearly indicating that there are paid trolls behind the scenes deliberately manipulating public opinion."

"So who do you think it is?"

Cai Yinong was so angry she almost lost her mind.

"That's hard to say."

Hu Jia told him his guesses in detail.

"First of all, Universal is a strong suspect. Shen Yan and Zhang Liangying released their albums at the same time, and Universal has been pushing Zhang Liangying to go international. However, this time, the reputation and discussion of Zhang Liangying's new album were completely surpassed by Shen Yan."

"Furthermore, Huayi also has them. Their newly signed Chen Chusheng and Shen Yan are both singer-songwriters, and there is a high degree of overlap between them."

As he spoke, Hu Jia tried to smooth things over for Shen Yan.

"Besides, Shen Yan didn't agree to Huayi poaching him last time, right? Maybe they're holding a grudge and want to destroy what I can't have."

"Besides Huayi Brothers, Tianyu Media is also highly suspected."

Hu Jia continued to add.

"Many of the Super Boy contestants under their management have personas that overlap with Shen Yan's."

"Furthermore, some Hong Kong and Taiwan record companies may take the opportunity to kick him while he's down. After all, Shen Yan's conditions are too good, and those record companies certainly don't want to see a mainland superstar rise."

The entertainment industry is both big and small, with limited resources. When a newcomer rises to prominence, they are bound to offend veterans and fellow newcomers.

It must be said that Hu Jia's analysis was accurate and hit the nail on the head, successfully diverting Cai Yinong's attention.

the other side.

Zhang Dandan rushed to the 29th floor of the hotel and knocked on the door of room 2908.

Shen Yan gave her this address.

About a minute later, the door opened, and seeing Shen Yan wearing a bathrobe, she quickly said...

"Brother Yan, something's happened."

She then quickly explained the situation.

"this one?"

In the living room, Shen Yan finished reading the news on Tianya and the four major portals, raised an eyebrow, and said dismissively.

"It's nothing."

"What happened?"

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan, wearing the same bathrobe, walked out of the bedroom, her face still flushed.

"We're on the front page now."

Shen Yan said in a relaxed tone.

"Hong Kong media took photos of us having late-night snacks and returning to the hotel. Some people said I was the third party, and others said you were the third party."

"..."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.

She hates that word!

"Okay, I'll make a phone call."

She then went back to her bedroom, made a phone call, and came out a few minutes later.

"I've made arrangements; my ex-boyfriend will respond."

Not long after, Yu Xiaowei posted a Weibo post, the gist of which was that the two had broken up at the end of last year.

then.

"Brother Yan, look, it seems Sister Junning has responded too."

Zhang Dandan, who was browsing Weibo, pointed at the screen, and Shen Yan leaned closer to take a look.

[Zhang Junning: I just received a call from a reporter friend and found out that I've been "the other woman," haha, just kidding. Shen Yan and I are just ordinary friends, there's nothing more to it.]

hum!

hum!

hum!

As they were talking, Zhang Dandan's phone rang.

"Brother Yan, it's Sister K."

"Let's do it the way we agreed before."

After saying that, Shen Yan put on his coat, hat, and mask and went outside.

After he left, Zhang Dandan answered the phone.

"Feed?"

"Sister K, we found it! We found it!"

"Huh? Brother Yan? He's gone."

"Um???"

Cai Yinong's chest began to heave violently again.

"Leave? Where did he go? Doesn't he have any sense of responsibility as an artist? Doesn't he know how to cooperate with the company's public relations? The whole internet is full of negative news about him, and he actually dares to leave?"

"Sister K, Brother Yan said... said..."

"What did you say?"

"He said he would handle it himself, and the company should remain silent, neither admitting nor responding."

"Clam?"

Cai Yinong laughed in exasperation.

"He'll handle it himself? How can he handle it himself? Do you know that the company's phones are ringing off the hook, and his personal Baidu Tieba is full of smear articles that we can't even keep up with deleting? If this continues, his reputation will be ruined!"

"And where did he go?"

"Yan-ge went to record a song."

"Recording a song???"

Cai Yinong was furious.

"Now, you, immediately, go find him and make sure his phone is turned on!!!!"

"Immediately! Right now!"
