Chapter 51: Internal Entertainment Circle Version Of Khan Muster The Troops
Support rights protection, support fighting hard to the end.
In fact, after Chi Ye’s “incident,” many netizens and CP fans had been paying attention to Jin Xia’s dynamics.
But because one big gossip followed another, everyone naturally couldn’t stay here forever.
Even so, as soon as Jin Xia posted her three Weibo posts, they immediately topped the top three on Weibo Hot Search.
——This is the influence of a top streamer.
Countless bystander CP fans who saw Jin Xia “feeding Chi Ye peanuts” flooded into the topic square, leaving comments one after another.
「Xia Xia!」
「It’s been so long since the incident, and you’re the only one speaking up for Ye Zi.」
「I’m dying from shipping, suddenly my feeling about Jin Xia has become so good.」
「Xia Xia has always been great, okay? Don’t listen to the wind and call it rain!」
「This Weibo won’t be deleted in seconds like Shang Youshu’s, right?」
Bystanders and insiders observed, waiting for Jin Xia to use the industry’s usual “wrong account instant delete” trick.
In the end, after waiting and waiting, not only was the Weibo not deleted, but Jin Xia even pinned it!
Everyone: “…”
Looking at Jin Xia’s name again, everyone suddenly realized.
——The one who posted this Weibo was no other than the industry’s number one drama queen!
When the drama queen wants to stir things up now, who the hell are you, Yue Na?!
…
Bang!
In the spacious and bright office, the sound of something being smashed rang out.
A roar came from the other end of the phone: “Why did Jin Xia speak out?! Didn’t you say she only met Chi Ye a few days ago, and their relationship hasn’t reached that point?!”
“Which marketing team is he using?! Why was his reaction so fast? What about the recording? What’s the deal with the recording?!”
Ge Shuang kept her head down while being scolded, silent.
Her direct superior glowered, cursing: “Are you an idiot?! I told you, since we’re dealing with him, be careful on the phone, don’t get recorded. Do you know how passive we are now that the recording is out?!”
Ge Shuang was equally terrified inside: “How dare he… how dare he expose everything…”
The moment she saw the contract and the recording, her brain crashed!
She really didn’t expect that Chi Ye would actually dare to “go all out” like this!
And they had actually made full preparations before making their move this time.
The action was quick, less than 24 hours, Chi Ye couldn’t possibly have had time to contact a marketing team… The push scale on Douyin just now would take at least three days in advance to prepare properly.
They had blocked voicing channels, and for this matter, they even used internal Weibo connections.
But… why, why was Chi Ye’s reaction so fast?!
“Fuck, it’s all over now, the incident has completely blown up, we’re all waiting to get cleaned up!”
“？!”
Ge Shuang’s voice trembled: “Does the big boss and the shareholders know?”
Her superior was speechless: “What do you think?! Pig brain?”
Ge Shuang: “…”
Of course she knew Yue Na’s top brass must know about this by now, but hearing the confirmation still chilled her heart.
Some things don’t weigh four taels when not on the scale, but once weighed, even a thousand jin can’t hold them down.
The shady dealings their group did privately were fine if not exposed, but once it really reached the top, the company would likely clean them out for the sake of the industry’s reputation.
This was also the biggest reason she wanted to take down Chi Ye quickly—from that day on, Chi Ye had been threatening “them”!
An uncontrolled time bomb—if not dealt with, it would blow up on them instead?
Ge Shuang gritted her teeth: “He definitely ‘had ulterior motives’ long ago!”
“…Realizing it now is already too late.”
After venting his emotions, her superior fell silent for a moment, his tone low: “I just got a call, heard the big boss is very angry… Prepare for the worst.”
Ge Shuang: “？!”
She panicked: “Why?! Things haven’t reached that point yet, right? Just one recording… the incident has only just started…”
“Check Weibo yourself.”
Her superior said no more, hung up after dropping that line.
Beep beep beep.
Hearing the dial tone, Ge Shuang swayed, then snapped back, rushed to the computer, refreshed the page, and upon seeing the latest developments, her vision blurred.
——Jin Xia’s post supporting him was like firing a signal gun. Penguin System artist companies were okay, but the “friendly competitors” from Peach System and Ku System couldn’t hold back when they saw public opinion fermenting to a climax, and started stabbing knives.
In today’s internal entertainment circle, there are over a dozen top management companies, but digging deeper, nearly eighty percent of company groups have ties to the three major platforms.
They either back celebrity capital above or are long-term partners.
For example, Sheng Ning’s company backs Peach System’s celebrity capital.
Yue Na is one of Penguin System’s partners.
Besides these two, there are Ku System, the slightly weaker Mango System, and the always aloof film circle capital.
Thus forming the current internal entertainment circle landscape.
So, Yue Na has plenty of competitors and rivals—individual star artists might not want to offend people, but with the capital behind pushing, it’s hard not to.
From another angle—such a “collective incident” involving so many people, who can Yue Na blame?
Under the Empress Dowager’s emotional “rage and stir” operation, it triggered the biggest “sensational” incident in the entertainment industry this year-end.
One big star after another either posted support, accidentally liked, or subtly shaded.
In short, the #Yue Na Slave Contract# topic’s popularity was impossible to suppress even if they tried.
#I’ll Send Yue Na to Hot Search#!
Seeing this glaring hot search topic, Chi Ye’s expression was surprised, his eyes complex.
That’s right, even he didn’t expect things to develop to this point.
His best expectation was to stir up public opinion and make Yue Na hesitate a bit.
But he didn’t expect…
Perhaps Jin Xia’s sudden pinned post really gave people more “inspiration”… Real business wars are this straightforward?
Thinking of the Empress Dowager, Chi Ye’s mood grew even more complex.
It was clear the Empress Dowager was really angry this time, posting on Weibo without even greeting him on WeChat…
Hmm… how to coax her properly?
“Hey? Hey? Live dad, are you even listening to me?!”
A furious roar like Director Zhang neighing came from the phone: “You fucking screwed me over! If you’d said you were feuding with Yue Na, would I have signed with you?!”
“No.” Chi Ye snapped back, very sincerely: “So I didn’t say.”
Director Zhang: “…”
Chi Ye, you’re really something else!
He gritted his teeth inside, but seeing online public opinion turn into a “collective denunciation” of Yue Na, and more importantly… the value of Jin Xia’s three pinned Weibo posts was too high!
He decisively chose to ignore it, just sighing: “It’s over now, Yue Na’s investment is probably gone.”
“Isn’t there still kiwifruit? Why panic.”
“Kiwifruit already bailed, you fucking offended Sheng Ning… Hey, not to nag, but how do you manage to offend everyone wherever you go!”
Not mentioning it was fine, but bringing it up broke Director Zhang’s defense even more: “I really… cooperating with you once, I feel like the whole world is my enemy!”
“…There’s still Ku Ying, one of the three majors left… No, go to Mango. With your connections, talent… and background, can’t you find platform investment?”
Director Zhang: “…Sweet talker, say more.”
“Mm, right…” After “angrily denouncing” Chi Ye, Director Zhang didn’t forget to check on him: “You okay?”
“What could be wrong with me? I’m great.”
Chi Ye crossed his legs, feeling better than ever.
From the incident breaking until now, the system’s favorability had grown from over a million to ten million!
God, never fought such a rich battle in his life.
Ten million—that’s ten advanced skills, one master-level skill!
He never thought tearing faces with Yue Na this time could net so much favorability.
Looks like exploding the contract and recording really made his “playing the victim” a success.
Not only abusing his own fans to death and back, turning them into bloodthirsty warriors one by one, but also turning bystanders, even former haters, from haters to bystanders, bystander to… no works yet, so not quite fans, cough.
Of course, Chi Ye didn’t forget the main contributor—Qing Bao, who provided the popularity and the abuse-fans-slap-faces material!
“Chi Ge, Shen Qing Yu deleted that Weibo post.”
After hanging up with Director Zhang, Keke came over to report.
Chi Ye took the tablet and refreshed—sure enough, the once-exploding popular 《To All Who Misunderstand Depression》 had vanished, as if it never existed.
But the internet has no memory, yet it doesn’t forget in seven seconds!
At this moment, #Shen Qing Yu Deletes Post# had skyrocketed on the hot search list, with countless bystanders and gossipers expressing extreme disgust and contempt for his action.
Shen Qing Yu’s side played dead without responding, only some account claiming to be Shen Qing Yu’s team’s unofficial alt account “explained”: 【Account was hacked.】
“They’re completely out of options, otherwise they wouldn’t be this stupid.”
Chi Ye saw the Weibo and couldn’t help laughing.
Sitting back in the chair, he opened the Weibo editor: “Him deleting is fine, I saved the original screenshot, I’ll post it for Big Brother!”
Keke: “…”
Chi Ye had already screenshot the full post from earlier, used AI software to extract the text, split into text version and image version, and continued serving the gossip masses by posting on his now-exploding popular Weibo.
Caption: 【Here, thanks to @Shen Qing Yu for hiring a ghostwriter to write this for me. This is exactly what I wanted to say to everyone, these are my words!】
【PS: Debunking rumors here, I wasn’t hacked, I posted it myself!】
“！！！”
As soon as this “check and fill gaps” Weibo went out, the comment count skyrocketed like crazy.
「Bro! Feel bad for you!」
「Former Rise group fan, you on stage are the universe’s brightest light, eternally shining like the stars!」
「No need to hype so much, Hu Ye has no business ability.」
「Shen Qing Yu flop flop flop!」
「Shen Qing Yu fans not dead yet? Your main idol is playing dead!」
「Not hacked is awesome, certain bullying star, persona collapse star, don’t Peng Ci my bro!」
Due to unprecedented brutal abuse in a short time, Chi Ye’s originally low-presence fans exploded in presence, controlling comments against Shen Qing Yu and various haters’ abuse.
While most bystander comments were upvoted to the top.
With this Weibo up for a day, Shen Qing Yu won’t have a good day!
“Fuck! He wants me dead!!”
Hospital, Psychiatry Department.
In less than an hour, Shen Qing Yu’s mind went from initial excitement and tension to dejection, and now, his face was pale, shaking like chaff.
He’s done for— with Chi Ye’s Weibo up, he felt truly done.
The opponent was coming straight for his life this time!
The agent stood silently beside, team members around stopped their actions, at a loss.
“What do we do, bro, what should we do?!”
Shen Qing Yu looked to the agent, little pearls almost falling.
The agent glanced at him, reluctant but shook his head: “Play dead.”
Shen Qing Yu: “Ah?!”
“What else?” The agent frowned deeply: “Now besides playing dead, what can we do… The company is already infighting… We… we have no way.”
“Then am I done for after this?!”
Shen Qing Yu was unwilling.
“No.” The agent comforted: “Didn’t you see cheaters can still go on acting variety shows? Yours has no substantial evidence, lay low, after this, the company definitely won’t let Chi Ye off, then you might even comeback.”
Hearing this, Shen Qing Yu’s heart oddly found some comfort.
“Bad news, bad news!”
At that moment, a PR monitoring Weibo Hot Search turned pale: “Big problem!”
“Hm?”
Everyone tensed, turning to look.
The PR handed over the laptop, pointing to a hot search topic now climbing top five: “Qing Bro and his ‘ex-girlfriend’ thing… got pushed up!”
Ex-girlfriend?
Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, then remembered: that little internet celebrity who got taken advantage of by a veteran actor, chasing Shen Qing Yu since yesterday demanding he “speak up for her.”
“What did she say?!”
Shen Qing Yu’s heart jolted, a extremely bad premonition rising.
“Um… you… see for yourself.”
The PR looked weird, turning the laptop to Shen Qing Yu.
Shen Qing Yu glanced, instantly dumbfounded, completely confused.
The internet celebrity named @A Drowning Fish really posted on Weibo, but this post wasn’t just “targeted” him.
It was a massive area coverage, pulling off an internal entertainment “Khan’s great muster”!
The young girl was probably really pushed to desperation, starting by begging for support under Shen Qing Yu and Chi Ye’s Weibos.
But seeing the two fight harder with no one minding her, in desperation, she bought her way onto hot search!
@A Drowning Fish『Rise flop group aren’t men』: 【@Shen Qing Yu@Zhang Xianming『I’m the real Chicken Feet God of War』@Jiang Yi『Followed 12am New Year’s Eve, Douyin live room giving away Maotai』@Lin Ze Yu『Rise two-year anniversary happy』@Su Ran『Rise trend store opening』@Peng Chen@Chi Ye@Jiang Cheng, after all I’ve been with you all, I’ve had such a big thing happen, suffered grievances, I hope your fans speak up, support justice for me!】
Everyone: “？？!”
Rise: “？？!”
Shen Qing Yu: “？？!”
He stared at the list over and over, feeling his pale face turn ink-green, N hats piling on his head.
Completely broken defense: “Fuck your horse’s Peng Chen Chi Ye Zhang Chicken Feet Jiang Fake Wine! Public and private, all coming for me?! You’ve all dated my girlfriend?!”
