Wei Lu's fans are making a fuss. After Wei Lu posted an ambiguous Weibo post, she seemed to disappear, which made her fans even more convinced that she had been wronged on the show. So they united to protest against the production team.

As a result, the official Weibo account of "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" was flooded with comments from Wei Lu's fans, and all the original drama reviews were buried at the bottom.

Qin Linlin was originally looking forward to what kind of discussion her script would generate, and she was also looking forward to exchanging ideas on its shortcomings so that she could make corrections. But what she saw instead made her feel disappointed.

However, just as she angrily typed out a bunch of words, wanting to refute him, several of the young men who were guests forwarded some of Wei Lu's fans' comments and added a string of question marks.

Guard V: Are you implying that I look like an idiot in this? Forwarded from @SlightlySmilingV: ...I think the post-production team deliberately lowered the IQ of other people to highlight the IQ of one person. I really hate this kind of operation.

Lei Miao V: You are who you are, no need for others to imply it. By the way, those who are implying I'm stupid, you just wait. Retweeted @Wei Shu V: Are you implying I look like an idiot here? ...

Guard V replied to @LeiMiaoV: Let's fight!

In addition, Liu Qingling and Yang Ji also stepped forward. Unlike the young masters who were unrestrained and attacked people at will, they avoided being labeled as instigators of cyberbullying. They simply expressed their feelings on their own Weibo accounts, asking their fans if their performance on the variety show was bad and if they really looked like idiots.

Liu Qingling and Yang Ji's fans responded one after another: Hahaha, no, Old Liu, Old Yang, this variety show perfectly showcased your high IQ. Many brilliant deductions were contributed by you. Don't listen to those people's nonsense.

Some fans of Guan Haifeng and Ling Ting who hadn't had time to watch the show initially believed the "evidence" from Wei Lu's fans, thinking their idols had been wronged on the show. They started watching the variety show and posting articles to criticize Rong Yu, but as they continued criticizing, they realized something was wrong.

Those comments edited out by Wei Lu's fans, supposedly meant to deliberately lower IQ, were actually just logical deductions. If their idol hadn't said them, others would have. Moreover, these deductions didn't lower intelligence; on the contrary, they were quite reasonable and garnered a lot of agreement.

This was clearly their idol's shining moment, so how did it become a sign of stupidity coming from Wei Lu's fans? It seems that it wasn't malicious editing by the show's post-production team, but rather Wei Lu's fans deliberately and maliciously inducing them to attack other artists!

Then, looking at Weilu's recent situation, what else is there that you don't understand?

Wei Lu's new drama "Swan Lake Love Song" has low ratings and its popularity has fallen out of the top of the list of currently airing dramas. No matter how much fans try to boost it, they can't get it back up. In comparison, "Blood Mist" which is at the top of the list seems a bit of an eyesore.

Rong Yu is the lead actress in "Blood Mist," while Wei Lu is the lead actress in "Swan Lake Love Song." Rong Yu is a newly debuted member of a boy band, while Wei Lu is an actress who has acted in several TV series and movies and has won some awards. Her acting skills and age have always been the basis for fans to boast.

But now, whether it's the popularity of the drama or the young age, Rong Yu has the advantage. How can Wei Lu's fans not be annoyed?

The entertainment industry sees new faces replacing old ones every year, with more young talent entering the scene. Wei Lu's fans have always boasted about her young age, but this is an easily shattered advantage, because there will always be someone younger and more outstanding than her, and this advantage can easily turn into a disadvantage.

However, some of Wei Lu's fans just can't understand such a simple question and feel unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, they seized on the fact that Wei Lu was the first to be eliminated in the game of "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" to generate a lot of buzz, hoping to give their idol more exposure and, incidentally, boost the popularity of "Swan Lake Love Song".

The incident dragged on for a whole day, and people gradually realized that it was actually fans deliberately trying to generate buzz, and they instantly lost interest.

After all this time, it turns out that Wei Lu's new drama just wasn't getting any buzz, so they were trying to boost it by feuding!

But believe it or not, some bored passersby actually went to watch "Swan Lake Love Song" starring Wei Lu after seeing these trending topics, which caused the ratings of "Swan Lake Love Song" to skyrocket. Originally ranked outside the top ten, it actually squeezed into the top ten after the evening update!

However, while Wei Lu's family achieved their goal, Qin Linlin was unable to swallow her anger.

Soon, Qin Linlin and the other directors finished their discussions and unanimously decided that they would rather break the contract than let Wei Lu continue to participate in the recording of the show.

Having experienced this once, who knows if she'll try it again to boost the popularity of her other dramas, or if she'll ruin the reputation of the guests and the show again?

The show paid you to come, and we're not forcing you to come. If you don't want to come, then don't. It's really pointless to make it seem like we're bullying you if we don't cater to you.

Qin Linlin flipped through the contract and couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had only signed a three-episode contract with Weilu. They had already recorded one episode, and there were still two episodes to be recorded, so they could easily pay the penalty for breach of contract.

Soon after, the official Weibo account of "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" released a statement, specifically tagging Wei Lu's studio. The statement politely stated that "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" had absolutely no malicious editing in post-production, nor did it maliciously defame Ms. Wei Lu's image, nor did it deliberately put anyone down. "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" adheres to fair play, and all guests are equal within the rules of the game. If Ms. Wei Lu cannot accept this, then the program can only regretfully say goodbye to Ms. Wei Lu, and the breach of contract fee will be refunded in full. Here, we wish Ms. Wei Lu a smooth career and a bright future.

The moment this statement was released, Wei Lu's studio was shocked. The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

They never expected that "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" would be so petty. It was just trying to ride the wave of popularity, why did it suddenly become such a big deal? Besides, isn't this just the fans making a fuss? Why is the official "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" Weibo account acting like it was their studio doing it?

While their studio did indeed contribute to the situation, shouldn't these things have been discussed privately with them before making a decision? Why tag them directly on Weibo?

Wei Lu's manager complained that the PR team in the dark really didn't know the rules. How could the fans causing a ruckus be a problem? Cooperation is something that can be discussed!

If Tianhei had spoken to them privately, they would have definitely shifted the blame to Weilu's fans. But now Tianhei directly tagged them without mentioning the fans, as if they were convinced that the fans had instructed them to do this. This would give outsiders the impression that Weilu had tacitly approved of the fans' actions.

Unfortunately, for the sake of saving face, Wei Lu's agent didn't want to bite the bullet and issue a statement, so he agreed to terminate the cooperation between the two parties.

If he disagrees, it would seem like he's really throwing himself at them. Given their current status, how could he possibly lower himself to support a small, newly launched variety show?

After the official Weibo account of Tianhei and the Weilu Studio released their messages, even more people came to watch the drama unfold. Considering the whole incident, it seems that Weilu's fans managed to ruin the variety show that their idol had booked!

What is a crazy fan? This is what a crazy fan is. They are more "dedicated" than the star's agent. If they don't want their idol to appear on any variety shows, they will cause trouble and then make a scene. After they have made a scene, they are smug and think that they have done a good thing for their idol.

They did think about it. The show invited Wei Lu and paid her a contract based on her status. Now, because of the fans' protests, the production team has no choice but to terminate the contract and pay Wei Lu a penalty. At first glance, it seems like Wei Lu is the one who benefits. However, after this incident, they will have to think twice before inviting Wei Lu to any variety show in the future.

What if Wei Lu's fans are unhappy after the variety show airs and come to protest like they did today? What if they can't withstand the pressure and don't want to work with Wei Lu anymore?

Inviting a celebrity to a variety show increases its popularity and allows the celebrity to promote themselves is a win-win situation. However, if Wei Lu's fans get upset and cause trouble, Wei Lu may not suffer any losses, but the variety show's profits will turn into losses, and they will have to pay Wei Lu a penalty for breach of contract. That would be a huge loss!

These days, there's no shortage of celebrities, so it's definitely better to choose those who don't like to cause trouble.

While the internet was buzzing with onlookers, in reality, Yin Chengjue sat on the sofa, one arm around Rong Yu, analyzing the pros and cons of the matter with him. He then summarized for Rong Yu: "Therefore, managing your fans well is really important. Success or failure can both come from your fans. There's truth to that. You can pamper your fans and give them benefits, but you can't pander to them or let them do things in your name, whether it's good or bad."

"Can't even good things be allowed?" Rong Yu asked, puzzled.

Yin Chengjue smiled and gently pinched his nose: "After you see more of what's going on in this industry, you'll understand. Whether it's good or bad, don't do it in your name. Because fans are independent people first and foremost, and only then do they appreciate you emotionally. The good things they do are their own, even if they are influenced by you. Ultimately, it's their decision to do it. It's their judgment, and they must have their own judgment, instead of blindly following anyone, including you."
