Chapter 123 The Scumbag's Downfall: A Viral Star's Frenzy for Popularity

The topic of "the loser couple being a poison in variety shows" has been steadily gaining traction, thanks to Ran Chengwang's deliberate promotion.

Ultimately, the topic of Shu Song's identity being exposed became the second most popular.

More and more onlookers clicked in.

Upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Good grief, since her debut, she's appeared on four variety shows, three of which were taken down, and the remaining one was even cut. Even her dramas weren't spared. Is this really weird?

[Don't even mention variety show poison, calling it entertainment industry poison wouldn't be an exaggeration, okay? It's like anyone who gets involved with it is doomed.]

It's said that Song Ying will be joining the cast of "Temptation Star" in the next couple of days...

【Hey! Don't get involved! That's my favorite manga adaptation!】

[The drama "Temptation" already caused trouble once, and Sun Ruoxuan was just banned. Now another disaster is coming... Help! Please let us go!]

More and more people are convinced of the "winner-lose couple" label, which is considered a poison in the entertainment industry.

Especially Song Ying.

Originally, some production companies had scripts and variety show offers that they wanted to contact her, but now they hesitated.

"Could it be that Song Ying is actually a bit strange?"

"It's better to believe it exists than not; otherwise, let's wait and see."

"Oh, what a pity, I originally thought this girl was pretty good..."

"Forget it, there are actors everywhere, we don't need one more. It's not worth it if something really happens."

The entertainment industry is a real circle.

There are no secrets at all.

Furthermore, the wealthier and more powerful a person is, the more likely they are to believe in these strange and mysterious metaphysical theories.

So, within half a day, the news that some partners refused to cooperate with Song Ying because of her poisonous constitution spread quickly.

Xiangnan Residential Area.

Ran Chengwang glanced at the overwhelmingly negative online sentiment, snorted coldly, and slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles to vent his anger.

Last night, the "Win or Lose Couple" livestream tricked him, resulting in him being terminated by various parties and even his company demanding compensation for the losses.

The exorbitant breach of contract fees, coupled with the backlash from fans, have made Ran Chengwang universally hated and he doesn't even dare to leave his house.

This morning, his agent came to his house and knocked on the door. Ran Chengwang hid at home and didn't dare to say a word.

In his ten years in the industry, when has Ran Chengwang ever felt so frustrated?

And the culprit behind all of this is Song Ying!

That bitch knew perfectly well who Shusong was, but she pretended not to know anything and deliberately lied to him. As a result, not only did she ruin his reputation, but she also made him get beaten up for nothing, and his career was completely destroyed!

If that's the case, then nobody's going to have an easy time!

Thinking of this, Ran Chengwang slammed his fist on the table in anger.

As a result, he gasped in pain.

"Song Ying, even if I have to go to hell, I'll take you with me!"

But soon, Ran Chengwang discovered that bringing down Song Ying was not as simple as he had imagined.

Take that hype-generating entry for example.

Initially, there was overwhelming opposition to Song Ying, but soon, some people began to object.

[Aren't the problems caused by those shows being taken down due to some actors' own dirty laundry? Did Song Ying hold a knife to their throats, forcing them to evade taxes, plagiarize, and bully others?]

[Exactly, since when did the instigator go unpunished while the innocent bystander is condemned by everyone? Has the internet's value system become so distorted?]

[As adults, we should be responsible for our own actions. Blaming others when things go wrong is utterly ridiculous! Those fans of celebrities who get into trouble, instead of reflecting on their own idols' mistakes, come here and randomly drag others into it—are they all overgrown children?]

[To be honest, Song Ying does have a bit of a mystical aura about her. But she's not unlucky; she's a magnet for spotting scum! Think about it, all those people who got into trouble before, weren't they all trying to go against Song Ying? In the end, good triumphed over evil, and they got caught. From now on, everyone should keep an eye on her and see who tries to sabotage Song Ying; who knows, they might be the ones with problems!]

[I second the comment above! Grab a seat and let's watch the show, waiting for Song Ying, the little radar, to take over the entertainment industry!]

#SongYing'sLittleRadarIsTakingDownTheEntertainmentIndustry

The topic quickly became a trending topic.

This generation of netizens isn't stupid.

The entry Ran Chengwang bought earlier was filled with comments criticizing Song Ying, which made onlookers suspicious.

Even the few insightful comments that do appear are drowned out by bots posting irrelevant content.

Now that a new topic has emerged, the two terms have appeared at the top of the trending search list. This comparison reveals some unspeakable truths behind the scenes.

[I knew that hashtag was weird; turns out someone was smearing a beautiful woman.]

Can our rivals please stop being so shameless?

If I find out who it is, I'll dig up their ancestral graves!

Seizing the moment when public sentiment was running high, Wen Jinzhao had someone reveal Ran Chengwang's IP at the opportune moment.

Now everyone understood.

Could Ran Chengwang be any more of a scumbag?!

[Damn it, Ran Chengwang, get out of the entertainment industry!]

No wonder Ran Chengwang dislikes Song Ying so much; Yunhai Entertainment, which he owns, is a business of the Xu family, and Xu Lanyan is his boss!

As expected, anyone associated with the Xu family is no good!

The Xu family's case is currently under trial, and the results should be announced in the next couple of days.

At this time, Ran Chengwang's house collapsed, which was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

But that's not all.

Just as Song Ying had guessed in the car, Ran Chengwang had engaged in many inappropriate relationships with fans over the years, thanks to his celebrity status, including with junior and senior high school students.

In addition, he was involved in three relationships simultaneously.

After the first girl posted the exposé on Weibo, a second, a third, a fourth...

One victim after another, with recordings, photos, videos, and various obscene chat logs, directly proved Ran Chengwang's innocence.

After waking up from his afternoon nap, Ran Chengwang wanted to log in to Weibo to check the latest developments, but he couldn't log in to either his main account or his alternate account.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, he switched to guest mode and was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of entries.

#Ran Chengwang cheated on his wife

#Ran Chengwang sexual assault

#Ran Chengwang is a minor

#RanChengwangGetOutOfTheEntertainmentIndustry

...

The first time he became an overnight sensation, it happened in such a way.

Ran Chengwang was completely stunned.

Just as his scalp tingled, a series of urgent knocks came at the door.

Ran Chengwang immediately became alert, not daring to utter a sound, and pretended that no one was home.

After a while, the knocking stopped.

Ran Chengwang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the door lock clicked open, and then the door was opened. Footsteps were heard, and the next moment, someone rushed into the bedroom and pinned him down!

"Who are you! What do you want! Let me tell you, you're trespassing! That's illegal!"

"Illegal?"

A sneer rang out.

Wen Jinzhao held up his index finger and shook the key strung on his finger.

"Some people usually disregard the law, so why are they suddenly talking about it now?"

When Ran Chengwang, who was being held down by the headboard, turned around and saw the speaker, his pupils immediately contracted.

"It was you! That bitch Song Ying sent you?!"

Ran Chengwang had met Wen Jinzhao backstage at "The Voice of Heaven" yesterday, so he recognized her at a glance.

"You're not worthy of Sister Ying's attention."

Wen Jinzhao sneered, walked up to Ran Chengwang, looked down at him with disdain.

"It's disgusting to have such a filthy thing living in my Wen family's house."

Upon hearing the name "Wen family," something flashed through Ran Chengwang's memory.

The Wen family!

No wonder he felt that Wen Jinzhao looked very familiar when he saw him yesterday.

So she was a member of the Wen family!

The house that Ran Chengwang lives in now was one of the gifts that Wen Yize gave to Xu Lanyan when he was pursuing her.

Ran Chengwang had previously gained some popularity after successfully cleaning gold coins for Xu Lanyan on a TV show. Later, when he wanted to move but couldn't find a suitable house, Xu Lanyan lent him this three-bedroom apartment in Xiangnan Community for temporary accommodation.

At that time, Wen Yize and Xu Lanyan were inseparable, and Ran Chengwang saw Wen Yize quite often.

Wen Jinzhao and her brother Wen Yize share a striking resemblance.

Unfortunately, Ran Chengwang did not expect this when they first met yesterday.

"Xu Lanyan has already gone in, but you, the fish, were left out. If you had behaved yourself, you might have escaped unscathed. It's just a pity that you were blind and had to provoke the wrong person."

"In that case, big star, you'd better spend the rest of your life in jail, keeping your Boss Xu company."

"Send him directly to the police station!"

At Wen Jinzhao's command, the Wen family bodyguards immediately grabbed Ran Chengwang like a chick and dragged him out.

Ran Chengwang originally wanted to struggle and shout.

Unfortunately, the people Wen Jin brought were all skilled martial artists. They simply taped their mouths shut, tied them up, and dragged them away.

Wen Jinzhao took one last look at the house, then glanced at the instant noodle boxes and snack bags piled in the corner, and fanned his nose with utter disgust.

"Throw all of that filthy thing's belongings out, and then put this place up for sale."

A house that a scumbag has been in will bring bad luck if you keep it.

Ran Chengwang's affair has further boosted the popularity of the winning and losing couple.

Song Ying, in particular, rose to the top of the popularity charts.

Now it's like a hot commodity.

Before long, Sister Hong's phone was ringing off the hook.

In the five years leading up to the challenge night, almost every brokerage firm in the industry had contacted Shusong, hoping to invite him to sign with their company.

But all the heartfelt invitations were politely declined.

Just when everyone thought that Shu Song would continue to fight alone, his true identity was revealed on the night of the challenge for "The Voice of China".

Suddenly, everyone realized that Song Ying, one of the creators behind this ID, was already a celebrity at Shengshi Entertainment.

In other words, it's not that they're aloof and unwilling to engage with the world, but rather that the bait they offer is far from sufficient.

Anyone who has watched dating reality shows knows that Qin Shu's heart and eyes are completely occupied by Song Ying. Unsurprisingly, Song Ying, who has already entered the entertainment industry, has become the entry point for everyone to poach her.

"Sister Hong, if you can persuade Teacher Song and Teacher Qin to sign with our Shengyin, our company will pay the breach of contract penalty, and we can even triple the salary that Shengshi gives you, plus an additional commission!"

"Sister Hong, Shengshi is now a tiger in its twilight years, but Tianzong Entertainment is on the rise. As long as you bring Teacher Shusong to Tianzong, we can discuss the contract and commission!"

"Sister Hong, our boss said that if Shusong can come to Liuguang, he's willing to give them 5% of the shares..."

Nowadays, the copyright fee for a song is at least 800,000 yuan or more, and many hit songs command even higher prices.

What's most amazing is that they consistently produce at least one song every month.

Such high quality and high output are irresistible to any entertainment company.

but.

"I will convey your message to Aying later. If she is interested, we will contact you."

Sister Hong gave a warm yet polite reply.

After returning more than a dozen phone calls, she let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa.

I dialed Song Ying's number.

"You're really popular now. People are practically scrambling to sign you and your husband. If I hadn't known you had other plans, I would have been tempted for you."

Just as Song Ying was about to say something, Sister Hong on the other end of the phone seemed to stand up.

"President Zhou."

"Xiao Jiang, what are you doing... busy?"

The voice of Zhou Jinhua, president of Shengshi Group, came through the microphone.

Sister Hong quickly replied, "No, no, Mr. Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Then come to my office, and we'll talk?"

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

After President Zhou left, Sister Hong quickly leaned closer to the microphone and whispered to Song Ying.

"This is really strange. President Zhou actually came to find me on his own initiative. I bet it's related to you. Wait for me to go and find out what's going on. I'll come back and tell you later."

Meanwhile, in the private tea room.

After hanging up the phone, Song Ying looked at the young man sitting opposite her and pushed the contract in her hand towards him.
