Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

An Junying gave him a wronged look, raised her hand to run her hand through her buzz cut, and mouthed silently: I'm not stupid.

Although this entry seems to carry a lot of malice, once you click into it, the entire forum is filled with positive comments.

[@DutchPeaChiliNoodles: Haters in the square, calm down. Jiang Zhiyu is a trainee now, and "pandering to fans" is never a derogatory term for idols.]

[@ShiliJianghe: Jiang Zhiyu is the number one fan-loving person! Come and see the mutual love! (GIFs) x9]

[@XiaoJiangTongxue: Hi, are you searching for Jiang Zhiyu? Is it the Jiang Zhiyu with perfect douyin (social skills) or the Jiang Zhiyu who genuinely loves his fans? (Recommendation image) x9]

Originally, Jiang fans had privately agreed not to control the comments or trending data of positive search terms, leaving more room for discussion for casual viewers and small fans.

Unfortunately, this term came on strong and with impure motives. The original post only had a few dozen views, but it suddenly appeared on the trending list with extremely low popularity, and a group of anti-fan accounts immediately joined in.

Fortunately, after experiencing several rounds of online turmoil, Jiangsi had become quite adept at handling such entries.

#My first foray into the entertainment industry was straight into battle!#

[OP: I'm a little curious, are all celebrity fans this mild-mannered? Some of the purely malicious and trolling comments I see make me want to curse the entire OP's family, yet they're still "recommending it, investing won't hurt," while I'm the only one who'd grab a bayonet and yell, ready to attack?]

[1L: What? Where's the battlefield? I'll definitely come to lend you a hand!]

—The original poster replied: [I've already given that negative hashtag on the trending topics a rundown of my opinion.]

[2L: The two circles have different ecosystems. In the entertainment industry, public image and such are important, while in the sports world, results speak for themselves, and if you're not satisfied, you have to fight.]

[3L: I will strike hard and not let any of those clowns who try to sabotage me while I'm counting down the days until my dad retires and comes back to win the Grand Slam at the Intercontinental Championships get away with it!]

—Reply: [I won't pass up the challenge of reading it all in one breath without choking!]

……

[89L: You just haven't gone deep enough. R God's fan base is very powerful. Those who post malicious comments—go check their profiles; not one of them escapes being attacked and forced to turn on their privacy settings.]

[90L: On the surface, they definitely need to put on a good show. Politeness is reserved for casual viewers who click on the entry, while the real haters are being ganged up on and left in the dark.]

……

[341L: You guys are moving so fast... I'm still catching up on the previous live broadcasts, it's so good... hehe... (drooling)]

—Reply: [Is the show more interesting or the people more interesting?]

—Reply: [To me, whether a show is good or not depends solely on whether there's a man with the surname R in it, but his good looks are an objective fact!]

[342L: Did anyone watch today's meet-and-greet livestream? I was forced to watch for three hours straight, and my mom said I was grinning like an idiot at the screen, haha.]

—Reply: [It's human nature; who can control the corners of their mouth?]

—Reply: [Being demented is great, being demented means enjoying jzy first...]

—Reply: [Why is the person upstairs using abbreviations? Afraid to use their full name?]

—Reply: [I still have a sense of shame. It wouldn't be good if someone touched me and called me a pervert!]

[343L: I'm so angry! How come they eat so well, have live streams to watch every day, see pretty faces, and watch singing and dancing, while we only have masks to watch!]

—Reply: [You brought back a world championship with your masks, can't you enjoy life?!]

—Reply: [Hehe, okay, I forgive you.]

……

[512L: But that's great! Will we get to see both idol Jiang and ZPL Jiang next? I'm so anxious!]

—Reply: [Aishin, etc.!]

[513L: On days without matches, my time is stolen by "Project Shining".]

—Reply: [I've been watching games non-stop for days, completely forgetting about the matches!]

The trainees were temporarily transported back to the recording base in two smaller minivans, which took them directly to the base.

They had expected the base gate on the way back to be congested and chaotic, but to everyone's surprise, as soon as the van turned the corner, they saw a self-organized human wall.

The number of people outside the recording studio gate was no less than when I left at noon.

But compared to noon, it was like heaven and hell.

The front row was no longer occupied by unscrupulous paparazzi and livestreamers, but by a group of steadfast fans.

They spontaneously blocked the ill-intentioned malice behind them, holding hands and forming a wide human wall to block the trainees' way back.

"Wow……"

Yao Wei looked out the car window and couldn't help but marvel.

Jiang Zhiyu followed his gaze, paused slightly, and then his eyes lit up.

His gaze swept over the crowd outside the car, his eyes gentle, but when he caught sight of a familiar face, his gaze suddenly froze, and he turned his head sharply, only to lose sight of the person.

Jiang Zhiyu felt dizzy. He could clearly see that the face that had just flashed by in the crowd was the one he would never forget.

That face stained with bloody memories and those gloomy eyes he would never forget.

"What's wrong?"

Mi Lan noticed something amiss in Jiang Zhiyu's expression out of the corner of her eye, and turned her head to ask him in a low voice.

That face was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Zhiyu shook his head and replied softly, "It's nothing."

At the same time, the official account of the "Shining Project" program released a statement regarding the incident.

@ShiningProject:

Regarding the safety incident where contestant Jiang Zhiyu was pushed and injured by the crowd before the departure for this overseas mission, the production team would like to express its sincerest apologies.

This incident exposed serious oversights in our security deployment and on-site crowd control, which failed to effectively protect the personal safety of the athletes. We deeply reflect on this and take full responsibility.

We have immediately strengthened security along the entire route, optimized travel routes and on-site control plans, and are seriously advising against and resisting malicious proxy photography and obstruction.

The production team will prioritize the safety of all contestants and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

I apologize again to Jiang Zhiyu, his fans, and all those who follow him. I sincerely request everyone's supervision and correction.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section.

[I hope you all understand who the show's biggest source of popularity is, and treat Jiang Zhiyu well. There can't be a next time.]

[Hold all the paparazzi and livestreamers who posed as paparazzi today accountable. Making an example of them is the only way to deter others, understand?]

My child didn't go on your show to be bullied. Stop testing the limits of your fans. I'm tolerating your show's shady practices now because my child is still attending your summer camp, understand?

I hope you can keep your word and not just issue statements that are as insignificant as a fart.

[Hong Liu, you should know who your sugar daddy is!]
