Chapter 80 Mutual Reporting, Let's Hurt Each Other! (10 chapters today, please subscribe!)

"What's wrong, Kanye?"

A female voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Liu Bohan's agent, Sister Hong.

"Sister Hong, that Ye Xian is no pushover! He's started organizing a massive campaign to report my account..."

After patiently recounting the situation to Sister Hong, Kanye said resentfully, "You guys said before that he was just a student who got expelled from school, that he wrote a few songs which were probably bought, that he had no background or connections, and that even his parents were dead. Now, judging from the situation, you weren't telling the truth!"

Sister Hong said in surprise, "He's just a dropout with no connections. I've already confirmed it with his teacher."

"I don't care what happens. If this causes me too much damage, you have to compensate me, or don't blame me for being ruthless! That's a verified account with 70 followers!"

"What kind of big V is that? Don't you know how many fake followers your account has?"

Sister Hong wasn't intimidated by Kanye: "Isn't this what you usually do? You get paid to do things. If you dare to do anything else, you'll be completely finished in this industry!"

Kanye West fell silent.

He really didn't dare to flip the table.

Ye Xian is a brainless newcomer who dares to recklessly go against everyone.

He dares not!

He had previously accepted tea money from many celebrities, but if he dared to overturn the table even once, not only Sister Hong, but everyone in the industry would immediately make it impossible for him to move an inch, and some extreme people would even resort to dirty tricks.

This is nothing new in the industry.

To put it bluntly, you're someone who does dirty work, what are you doing playing the innocent white lotus for?

Seeing that Kanye had calmed down, Sister Hong comforted him, "You still have a lot of options. For example, you can report his account, short videos, and live stream content. You can also criticize some of his songs, since those songs don't seem like something a novice could write. Question his originality!"

"And that book he mentioned, 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' check the copyright. If there's even the slightest copyright issue, it's absolutely not allowed in the Tang Dynasty! That's when your opportunity comes."

"However, you need to be careful with your words. We live in the age of internet traffic; some people become more famous the more they are criticized."

While Sister Hong comforted Kanye, she was a little alarmed, because in this short time, Ye Xian's number of fans had officially reached 30!

In less than a month!

A newcomer with 30 followers!

5 new songs!

Four songs made it onto the trending charts!

What does this mean?

As a top agent with many years of experience, Sister Hong knows very well that this is definitely a promising stock, and a high-quality stock that has already begun to show its potential!

She was really afraid that Ye Xian would become more famous the more he was criticized!

Times have changed. In the past, when you promoted a star, you would release songs in a set schedule, promote the songs on radio and variety shows, and promote the person at the same time, creating a persona such as a prince of love songs, a musical poet, or a wandering singer, and then create a CP (couple pairing) between them.

A powerful management company can even take a singer with no breakout hits, skip the competition stage, and directly promote them from a special guest or observer on a variety show to the level of a mentor.

Then they stand on the mentor's platform to critique those "outdated" seniors, generating buzz and boosting viewership.

During this process, celebrities cannot have any scandals, cannot date, and must maintain their figure...

If even one out of ten stars cultivated this way succeeds, then we should be grateful and pray to Buddha.

……

In this day and age, all these processes can be skipped.

Promote songs, create trending dances, and buy traffic.

The whole process can quickly create a hit song.

It doesn't matter whether the song is popular or not, whether you have a partner, are secretly married, or have children; all that matters is that the song is popular.

A hit song can be popular for three months, and then the next hit song can be created quickly.

No need to worry about celebrities' scandals falling apart, no need to take any extra steps, because none of that is necessary!

The same applies to online celebrities.

Previously, "internet celebrity" might have been a derogatory term, but now it represents popularity and traffic.

They found a traffic password and kept copying and pasting it.

Like an assembly line operation, entertainment industry bigwigs and MCN bosses are now adept at making easy money this way.

……

Fast-paced music, if it becomes popular for a while, will face backlash, so its lifespan is at most two or three months, and very few can even last for more than a month.

The updates and iterations are happening too fast.

Hongjie thought Ye Xian's popularity would die down in a few days.

Who knew that Ye Xian would act unpredictably?

One new song every week.

Can't you leave everyone a way out?

Bohan debuted a few years earlier than you, but he has only released a dozen or so songs.

Sometimes, I really don't want to be matched against newcomers like this.

It's really not worth it!

That's how the entertainment industry is; you never know who will be the next big star.

But you must know whether you offended this famous person in the past.

Sister Hong is deeply afraid that Ye Xian will become the new source of online traffic.

The influence of a top internet celebrity can sometimes be just as great as that of a second-tier star!

Liu Bohan is almost a top-tier star, but he is still a second-tier celebrity!

Sigh, it's just about two bottles of wine, why did you have to force them to stop?

Sometimes, cleaning up after these celebrities is just disgusting.

……

Kanye West has never taken Ye Xian seriously.

Kanye complained to Sister Hong and got angry, but it all had one purpose.

You'll have to pay more.

Sister Hong was well aware of the situation, but her attitude remained firm.

Those who do dirty work should know their place. If they can't do it well, they can only say that they are not capable, but they can't turn around and blame their employers.

After a brief struggle, Sister Hong offered appropriate compensation, and the matter was dropped.

Kanye is ready to continue his attacks. If he can't get rid of the science students, he'll attack his songs, his live streams, and his swindling of money through product sales.

That's the truth, isn't it?

Reporting each other, let's hurt each other!

……

After Ye Xian finished his live stream, Ding Zhan approached him: "It's basically certain that Liu Bohan hired a few trolls. Kanye and his group are professionals at taking bribes; this isn't the first time he's done this!"

"According to the rules of the game, everyone either sends a lawyer's letter, finds a new hater to fight back and take the opportunity to generate hype and traffic, or they offer a bribe to settle things peacefully, leaving the other party to profit from both sides."

"What everyone really enjoys is stirring things up. This time, we overturned the table, and I think they've probably lost their composure. They've started complaining right away, and many of their accounts have already been restricted by the platform. Some of their accounts have already sent us private messages in the background."

Ye Xian nodded. He was very clear that his original intention in doing this was different from those of these haters. They were just trying to make easy money and had no conscience.

He genuinely wanted to do something for Xiaoxiao, so he had no intention of backing down: "We will sue everyone who should be sued, and not let a single one go! We're not doing this for traffic or buzz, but to protect this child!"

They can cyberbully me this time, but who knows who will be next! As a media professional, if you can't control your tongue, don't blame someone like me for taking things to the extreme.

"besides."

Ye Xian then looked at Qiu's mother: "Auntie, quickly recruit people to assist you in supervising and inspecting product quality. We can't afford to have any problems ourselves. If we do, we won't be able to stand on our own two feet."

A celebrity's public image cannot be compromised.

Influencers cannot afford to have problems promoting products.

In reality, there isn't much difference between them.

Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Da Long and the others are full of energy right now. The new recruits will be on duty tomorrow, and I definitely won't let you down."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Ye Xian picked up a printed manuscript from the table and handed it to Ding Zhan: "This is the manuscript for the first ten volumes of 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' Talk to the publisher and, if possible, we can publish a simplified version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' first."

"The first ten episodes?"

Autumn's mother snatched it away, saying, "Let me see it first!"

Ding Zhan looked helplessly at Qiu's mother, inwardly screaming.

I want to see it too!
