Which top celebrity doesn't support a few female stars?

Chapter 86: This slander is unacceptable; there must be an explanation! (4K)

""

Logically speaking, as a top-tier celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, Li Zhou shouldn't have directly criticized Weibo, the platform behind the platform.

After all, aside from the relatively unknown figures in the Chinese entertainment industry, the small group of superstars who have already transcended fame, and the talented actors who don't need to care about fan base or online traffic—

The other star contestants are easily hampered by the Weibo account known as "Big Eyes".

It's worth noting that many employees within Weibo are similar to Wang Xiaofei from Taobao, adept at leveraging the platform's influence.

How to put it? Weibo, which seems to have fallen behind in the era of short videos and massive traffic, still maintains a considerable level of activity.

According to its financial report, it had 2.6 million daily active users and 5.9 million monthly active users throughout the year.

As a platform, it can manipulate traffic, recommendation weight, and restrict trending searches to influence the popularity and commercial value of celebrities.

As the largest entertainment platform, Weibo maintains its power by upholding its ecosystem and interests through rules, traffic, and management, which also puts pressure on all parties, especially celebrities and their teams.

Furthermore, as a platform, Weibo can easily trace the device and IP address of the publisher.

Li Zhou himself knew perfectly well that he was directing and acting in his own scheme, but he remained fearless.

Because none of these things were done by Li Zhou himself, nor was the team operating under the name of Shengshi.

The latest revelation is that a makeup artist's daily work posts (blurred) on her private social media account were deciphered.

In other words, Li Zhou had already begun his scheme when he instructed Yang Sisi to find a makeup artist who looked like a minor.

Directly criticizing Weibo for failing to fulfill its platform supervision responsibilities is also an unavoidable aspect.

Because of the extremely high level of activity, countless active users saw Li Zhou's personal response immediately.

Immediately, whether it was Xiaohaizi, ili, or ordinary netizens, they all left comments in the comment section pointing fingers and offering criticism.

"My brother Zhou is still so nonchalant, he has such a good attitude. So, who was behind this? It's really impressive that they could pull this off."

"What are you babbling about? Brother Zhou, you're nothing but ruins in my eyes. You know I can't read, right? /hands together.emoji"

"To be honest, Brother Zhou really knows how to stir things up. Which brother was pushed to the limit to pull off such a big move?"

"Speaking of which, I saw the gossip about Li Zhou making outrageous remarks on a show a long time ago. It was said that the show's producers edited the footage to generate buzz."

"What's so surprising about criticizing colleagues and ignoring the media? I don't think it's anything special. Which big star hasn't done it?"

"My Lili is indeed innocent! I highly recommend the best Lili in the world!"

'

'

The facts show that Li Zhou's initial idea was to use a specific case to disprove all the negative information by disproving one particular piece of information, and the actual effect was indeed impressive.

It's worth noting that when Li Zhou spoke with Xu Qingyi on the phone before, he also said that the gossip dug up by the haters was all true.

He was indeed young and impetuous.

Even though the interview was extremely smooth, the part where the host actively brought up the topic was cut out. In the original interview, the original person's attitude was indeed quite arrogant and conceited.

In fact, the most important part of Li Zhou's explanation to Xu Qingyi was to show that he, Li, was only a teenager at the time and didn't know any better, but he is no longer like that now.

"People need time to grow up gradually."

Boss Xu completely agreed—Li Zhou was a top star whom she nurtured with her own resources; she was a direct witness to his rise to fame.

How could she not know what kind of person she was in the first place?

To put it another way, if it weren't for this kind of character—Boss Xu wouldn't have looked down on this Xiao Li in the past.

Well, the whole thing changed after Li Zhou took over the situation on Lanxing and immediately asked Xu Qingyi for help.

After that, Xu Qingyi's impression of Li Zhou gradually improved.

A simple example is that the original owner followed Boss Xu for so long, yet he didn't even know her true family background.

Two days ago, Boss Xu took Li Zhou to see the sights of her family's business.

As for why Ms. Zeng paid attention to this major public opinion event today—it's obvious even to a fool that it's inextricably linked to Mr. Xu.

This major upheaval in the Chinese entertainment industry is far from over.

Li Zhou's counterattack has only just begun.

He orchestrated such a grand spectacle; his goal certainly wasn't just to clear his name by disproving the most serious allegations.

Of course, this is indeed the core strategic objective.

By turning oneself into a ruin in the eyes of public opinion, one can clean up the old grievances once and for all, so that even if they are repeatedly mentioned again, they will no longer affect the foundation.

But Li Zhou wanted more.

:

For example, to obtain more attractive and quantifiable popularity data.

Although countless people know that he is the number one black traffic star in the Chinese entertainment industry, the fan data that he can show off is indeed not high enough.

This also limits the further expansion of his commercial value—of course, it's only one of the reasons, but it's something that should be addressed if possible.

It's worth mentioning that despite the ongoing major negative events, the number of fans has actually increased rather than decreased.

Li Zhou currently has over 4700 million followers on Weibo, and he hopes to break through 5000 million this time.

That's all.

Integers like 1, 5, and 10 just look more pleasing to the eye.

In addition, perhaps because the main battleground for public opinion in the Chinese entertainment industry is Weibo, Li Zhou's Douyin followers have not changed much.

There's still a shortfall from 2500 million, but there are plenty of "Crusaders".

The mechanism of Douyin is very special. Following someone makes it harder to see their updates directly. Fortunately, Li Zhou doesn't update very often either.

Thinking about all this, Li Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Little Song, you're such a top star, you have to help me boost my commercial value again, right?"

"I haven't had any income from work trips for so long, it's about time I took on some endorsements again."

To be honest, the last time Li Zhou earned income was because of his Armani endorsement.

He only has the money he had saved up to buy a house left in his pocket.

As for film and television salaries, they all go in one pocket and out the other, passing through a few hands to pay taxes, and don't count as income.

Putting all that aside, Li Zhou quickly gave Yang Sisi some simple instructions.

Subsequently, Li Zhou's studio posted another statement, this time with a simpler wording, roughly meaning:

"It's sudden, shocking, and frustrating—we need an explanation."

Of course, the actual wording was a bit stronger.

What they said was—"We cannot accept this slander; there must be an explanation!"

Today they dare to spread rumors that Mr. Li Zhou is dating a minor, what about tomorrow?

This is not a normal, reasonable, or understandable attack by haters or anything like that; it's even an organized attack!

".————"

Upon hearing the news, ILI immediately expressed its support.

"Li Zhou suffered an undeserved calamity!"

"Li Zhou did absolutely nothing wrong from beginning to end. You're not just trying to slander him; you're maliciously defaming him and attempting murder!"

"Little black guy, do you dare to do it but not admit it? If you have the guts to spread rumors, then come out and apologize!"

'

'

Bystanders and netizens watched the drama unfold, as did izhou and his haters, but one representative contestant directly stepped onto the scene—

"First, I admit that I did the dirty work of being arrogant and domineering. Second, I did want Brother Zhou to die. Finally, the rumors about me being a minor have absolutely nothing to do with me."

"My brother Zhou is definitely not pure white, but he's certainly not to this extent. I can understand if you want to explain, but it really has nothing to do with me."

"To be honest, although my brother Zhou is very good at making people angry, it's understandable that I was furious and wanted to get back at him after accidentally giving him some real money. But it's not as serious as spreading legal rumors like this."

The "Seven Warlords of the Sea" contestants who previously created the "Li Zhou Super Topic" have all made clear statements.

They did dig up some dark history, but it definitely didn't involve any scandals or rumors.

It is even less likely to involve spreading legal rumors about minors.

However, now that things have escalated to this point, they no longer want to stir up trouble.

Therefore, the tone and meaning were quite simple and straightforward, without any further specific targeting.

It should be noted that the more the situation develops, the happier the onlookers become.

On Friday, the day I most want to have a holiday, who wouldn't want to slack off a bit during the afternoon at work?

""

In addition, many contestants in the Chinese entertainment industry are also happy to see this happen.

After all, Li Zhou's shocking revelation directly attracted all the attention.

Among them, fans of Zhang Jiayan quietly withdrew from the fray.

Currently, the only male celebrities still in the center of public opinion are a few top male stars, such as Lü Muyuan and Wang Zeyuan.

And — Song Mingche.

Previously, Song Mingche had been tempted to join the celebration, but he managed to suppress his emotions.

He casually remarked to his agent, Sister Yu, that "this kind of big gossip might actually be a rumor."

"It might not even be an attempt to whitewash their image; there have been similar cases involving top celebrities before —"

Sister Yu also thought it made sense at the time.

Similar cases have occurred in the Chinese entertainment industry and even in the global entertainment and current affairs circles.

By presenting a very serious/outrageous rumor and then disproving that part, the entire rumor is disproven.

This trick has always worked.

In fact, Song Mingche's team has done similar things in the past, but the impact was not as loud as this incident.

In addition, Song Mingche carefully reviewed all the scandals that had been exposed so far and found that his part was indeed true.

It's a very distinct paparazzi perspective.

Therefore, he believes that the later scandals and negative information about Li Zhou should all be true.

After all, those who have reached a certain level of fame and status in the industry have all heard about Li Zhou's past.

However, after careful consideration, Song Mingche concluded that no matter how true the information was, it wouldn't have a significant impact on Li Zhou.

On the contrary, the first batch of dark history may have a more serious impact on Li Zhou.

However, the past of "Li Zhou, the king of Chinese entertainment parody videos" may just be adding some new material.

In short, Song Mingche thought about many things from God's perspective.

Then he saw the latest development and immediately started cursing: "Damn it! They're coming for me, aren't they? What the hell do you mean there has to be an explanation? I'll get you!"

Song Mingche sensed the danger signal in zero seconds.

He asked himself honestly, if he were in that situation and dared to continue issuing statements so fearlessly, he must either have nothing to hide or be confident.

Therefore, Song Mingche quickly pondered: "Could this rumor about a minor not be something orchestrated by Li Zhou's team?"

"But he doesn't look like he's asking for an explanation from anyone in particular; he's targeting me."

"Will Weibo provide an explanation?"

He certainly wouldn't ignore Li Zhou's irresponsible remarks on Weibo, but at the time he completely disregarded them.

I think this Li Zhou is extremely arrogant, so arrogant that he has forgotten who he is.

They're not exactly eccentric, yet they dare to challenge Weibo; that's absurd.

""

However, Song Mingche now feels that something is not right with Li Zhou Studio's post.

So Song Mingche quickly instructed Sister Yu to do something immediately, as they couldn't just sit and wait for what would happen next.

He felt that a targeted attack was imminent.

Song Mingche's premonition was correct.

Forty-one minutes after Li Zhou updated his Weibo status, several negative trending topics related to Li Zhou were suddenly removed from the Weibo hot search list.

Then, the Weibo administrator updated the status: [Thanks to @黎周 for the criticism and supervision————]

First of all, the trending topics such as #LiZhouSuspectedOfDatingWithMinors# are all untrue.

Secondly, in response to this sudden and massive entertainment public opinion event, and in response to online ecosystem problems such as maliciously inciting negative emotions and fabricating and spreading a large amount of false information, a total of more than 69 pieces of illegal content were cleaned up, and more than 1.9 illegal accounts were subject to phased bans or even account closures depending on the severity of the violation.

.

Typical violations are as follows:

Case 1: Users such as "@喵***咪" and "@陆***6" maliciously incited negative emotions by posting conspiracy theories promoting the use of celebrity public opinion to cover up current events. The platform has taken measures ranging from temporary bans to permanent bans depending on the severity of the offense. Case 2: Users such as "@小***个" and "@东***3" fabricated and spread false information by creating a large number of celebrity gossip and rumors. The platform has taken measures ranging from temporary bans to permanent bans depending on the severity of the offense.

Weibo will continue to intensify its efforts to combat all types of harmful online information and work together to maintain a clean and healthy cyberspace. #

Weibo Community Announcement #

It must be said that although the Weibo administrator has 1.34 million followers, the traffic is extremely low, and very few users will actively click on the relevant posts.

Therefore, Li Zhou's studio account immediately reposted the Weibo administrator's post, adding the following comment:

[grateful]

It seems to mean that it said nothing at all, but also said everything.

This quickly attracted the attention and comments of ili, Xiaoheizi, and other netizens.

"Thank you to the Weibo administrators. My Lili is really unlucky. She just wants to act in movies, but she has to be targeted so maliciously. It's too hard."

"Hiss—I hope Brother Zhou won't pursue this to the end. The Weibo administrators have already listed the accounts. I'm a little worried about the safety of our little black baby."

"It definitely wasn't done by our Xiao Hei Bao. We've already clarified that it was something that some colleagues in the Chinese entertainment industry did to target my brother Zhou."

"I checked these accounts and found that this incident is actually quite outrageous. Someone actually used AI technology to crack the censored photos and then spread rumors."

"No wonder it's so blurry, and the fact that they consciously avoided pictures that were more obviously makeup-related is amazing!"

"—"

This is, of course, just the beginning.

Ili, who was feeling particularly frustrated all day, izhou, who was unfairly blamed, and Xiaoheizi were all angry.

They searched for every clue, preparing for a major operation.
