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

- [Has the Shining Project Shined Yet?] Forum

#Look what I found!! The film studio where the team captains were chosen for the second public performance of "Shining"! Everyone has been changed to Jiang Zhiyu!!! #

[OP: Here's what happened. I casually searched for that film studio and found that it was under Jingcheng Entertainment. But I found that the film studio had been idle since it was built, so I casually clicked to follow its updates.]

Not long ago, I was suddenly pushed a document regarding the change of ownership. I clicked on it casually and saw the three big characters "Jiang Zhiyu". I was stunned! (Public notice of ownership change of Jingchi Film City.jpg)

[1L: Could it be that Jiang Zhiyu is about to sign a contract with Jingcheng, so he's sending a gift as a token of his appreciation?]

[2L: Wow, Keisei is spending so much?]

[3L: I didn't believe it before when people said Jingcheng was interested in signing Jiang Zhiyu, but now it seems they really are interested. Otherwise, why would they give away such a huge real-life film and television city? It looks very expensive.]

—Reply: [Looks like Shangcheng has no chance then; Jingcheng has really gone all out.]

[4L: Sending it on my birthday, how thoughtful!]

……

[21L: Wait, what? Why does this former person's name look so familiar...?]

[22L: Jing Chi? Isn't that the author of "I Destroy My Life"??]

—Reply: [Yes... "Rivers" is also...]

[23L: Help, what does "deceased" mean...]

[24L: My heart suddenly stopped beating for a second, no! This is too angsty!]

……

[340L: Wait, so Jingchi is related to Jingcheng Entertainment? Oh my god, could he be that unspeakable, prematurely deceased heir...?]

—Reply: [What does this mean?]

—Reply: [Wait, wait, wait, then it all makes sense. Kyosei's sudden withdrawal from the draft after several years—that's all correct according to the original poster.]

—Reply: [For those who don't know, the Jing family (i.e., the actual controller of Jingcheng) had a son who passed away a few years ago; it was the kind of thing that made the news. Those who are curious can search for keywords to find out.]

……

[567L: I was just starting to get interested in this couple... how did this happen...]

[568L: So Jingchi is wishing Jiang Zhiyu a happy adulthood across time and death?]

—Reply: [So heartbreaking.]

—Reply: [I suddenly feel like crying, "My coming-of-age ceremony was the legacy you left me."]

The forum was abuzz with discussion about Jingchi and the strange doll mixed in with the gifts, while the office area of ​​the "Shining Project" recording base was brightly lit.

Upon learning of this, Hong Liu nearly fainted from shock. After finally catching his breath, his first words were: "A thorough investigation is necessary, or we should directly request the police to intervene—and so on."

His gaze lingered on the message bar that had just popped up on his phone screen, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. He looked up at the staff member in front of him who was eagerly awaiting further instructions, and changed his mind: "Let's investigate internally first."

The production team is currently under pressure from multiple sides. On one hand, there is the controversy of "dismissing Jiang Zhiyu's coming-of-age birthday" that has spread across the internet, with a large number of fans camping out on the official Weibo account demanding an explanation. On the other hand, there is the sudden incident that threatening dolls and letters were mixed into the gifts.

Two major public opinion battles collided, and the official account administrators experienced a long-lost feeling of overwhelming pressure.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Just before midnight, Jiang Zhiyu posted his first ever "essay," clarifying the situation on behalf of the production team who had single-handedly taken on all the responsibilities.

[@Shining Project - Jiang Zhiyu:]

Hello everyone, I am Jiang Zhiyu.

I've seen all the blessings and gifts you sent me, thank you!

Due to personal reasons, I requested the production team not to celebrate my birthday, and I apologize to the fans who were looking forward to the relevant segments.

Please rest assured that I have not been affected by anything else and will continue to work hard to prepare for the final night in a few days.

Jiang Zhiyu, at 18, will strive even harder to move forward.

Although it is not long, it is still unprecedented for "River" and "Jiang Zhiyu" who are usually taciturn on the Internet.

When the bloggers saw this post, their first reaction was: Huh? A fake account?

My second reaction was: Holy crap, who stole my R-God/Jiangjiang account??

Then I was utterly shocked: Jiang Zhiyu posted a long essay!! His keyboard finally forgave him!!

Although the blog post was short, the content was straightforward and clear. Even though many people still felt that Jiang Zhiyu was pushed out by the program team for emergency public relations, most fans had been easily appeased.

Happy Birthday! Happy Adulthood! We will accompany 18-year-old Jiang Zhiyu as he moves forward with even greater determination!

Take good care of yourself. Wishing you peace, good fortune, and everlasting happiness.

Jiangjiang, we wanted to give you the grandest coming-of-age ceremony, but we don't know if you've seen it...

—@ShiningProject-JiangZhiyu replied: 【I saw it.】

Fans never expected Jiang Zhiyu to act so unusually today, not only posting a long essay but also replying to comments in the comment section.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after they came to their senses, they couldn't help but scream, "Ah—!"

As a result, hashtags such as #JiangZhiyuFlipsTheCard# and #JiangZhiyuSeesTheComingOfAgeCeremony# quickly went viral, dominating the entire internet with their soaring popularity as the birthday hype finally began to decline.

At the same time, many people began to take an interest in the "personal reasons" mentioned in the article, eager to find out its specific meaning.

A penchant for digging into the private lives of idols is a bad habit among some fans; they want to know everything about their idols, including their private lives.

So these people started searching down the dates and soon found some long-forgotten information.

In comparison, the residue test results for the dolls came out faster.

Although the strange colors and textures of the substances on the child's body initially frightened many people, fortunately, these were all non-toxic chemical substances, serving only to threaten and intimidate without actually harming anyone.

Since the incident had already been leaked so quickly, the production team had no intention of hiding or delaying it. They promptly released the test results to their official account, giving the anxious fans their first reassurance.

However, the investigation into how the doll got in has not made much progress.

The production team suspected that the problem might have originated from the fan club, with some members being bribed or information being leaked.

The person in charge of gift delivery for the fan club was even angrier and more frightened than the production team and Jiang Zhiyu himself, and cooperated very actively with the investigation. Through the investigation, the production team quickly ruled out this option.

Since the gift was personally coordinated between the fan club leader and the production team, this "mishap" occurred within the production team itself.
