Chapter 13
But she won't remain silent forever
The hot search was on Weibo for only two hours before Guo Quan's team spent money to remove it, and Ling Suisui was scolded by Guo Quan's fans for most of the day and the scolding has not stopped until now.
They called her shameless, trying to gain popularity, gave her derogatory names, said she was ugly, cursed her to die on the spot... in the end, they were all the same curse words used by fans in the fan circle.
As for cutting off the collapsed pictures and photoshopping the deceased's photos, these are just routine operations.
The system advised her to be more open-minded, but it was worrying too much. Ling Sui's mentality was not affected at all.
As a once popular female star, what kind of scenes has she not seen? If she was heartbroken when other fans cursed at her, she would have jumped off the building long ago.
Ling Suisui knew very well that the entertainment industry was not a place for people with fragile hearts.
Don’t say you did something to make people hate you. Even if you didn’t do anything, the malice towards you will never stop - just like now, she has experienced a real misfortune.
She will not break down, and she cannot break down.
Ling Sui, who had long been accustomed to it, even comforted the system:
[Look at the bright side, they talked for a long time but didn’t say that my acting was bad. That proves that my acting skills are really good and they were really broken down. 】
After all, just because your fans praise you for something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re really good; but if even your opponents can’t criticize you, then you must be doing an amazing job.
system:……
This host has such a strong mentality and his train of thought is really unique.
System: [Host, Guo Quan’s fans are too much. You, an amateur, can't fight against them, so why not ask Chen Yuening for help? Maybe it can help improve the relationship between you. 】
Haha, the system's abacus beads are about to jump onto Ling Suisui's face.
She flatly refused: [This matter has nothing to do with Chen Yuening, why drag him into it. Besides, he can't help me with anything. Do you think the whole network will obey his orders if he gives one? 】
Or does it mean that with just one word from him, Guo Quan will be banned from the entertainment industry?
Not to mention that Chen Yuening is just a male star. Even if he is the boss of a big company or the son of a wealthy family, given the complexity of the interests in the entertainment industry, it is impossible to form a united front for the entire circle.
Even within a large company or a video platform, there are always cliques and factions. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
System: [How does the host intend to respond? 】
Ling Suisui spread his hands: [I can’t respond. In this situation, no matter what I say, it is impossible to stop Guo Quan's fans from attacking. The more I talked, the more excited they became, and the more they found fault with me. 】
The cyberbullying of Guo Quan’s fans towards her was not because she did anything wrong, but rather it was a form of downward bullying by traffic stars against ordinary people.
There is no way around it. The real fans of this group are too useless, making them unable to hold their heads up in the fan circle. They couldn't beat other traffic, so they could only bully her, using this self-deceiving method to piece together their shattered self-esteem.
System: [The host is planning to take a step back and let it go like this? 】
——Of course not. If she just let it go like this, wouldn’t everyone treat her as a soft persimmon?
Ling Suisui is very picky about food, especially about food. She only said that she could not respond, but did not say that she would let Guo Quan and his fans go.
It's true that she won't be knocked down by malicious intent, but that doesn't mean anyone can come and step on her.
Ling Suisui browsed around various social media platforms, focusing on several melon owners, marketing accounts and Huaban’s entertainment group on Weibo. After eliminating the content that was used to stir up the atmosphere, she extracted the effective information about Guo Quan.
Just last week, there was an ancient idol actress who repeatedly teased him and another male star. This cake is about deciding on a female to choose a male. The first female lead has a strong track record and a basic base in ancient idol dramas. No matter which male star is slipped away to be the second male lead, it will be considered a good resource for them.
She found the first hot search again and searched for "Yan Kai" on the Weibo of this marketing account. She found that most of them were red manuscripts, which should be a long-term cooperation.
Ling Suisui understood that today's hot search was most likely arranged by another male star, Yan Kai.
Yan Kai's team was competing with Guo Quan. In order to squeeze out their opponent, they deliberately pushed a negative hot search about Guo Quan's acting skills.
Ling Sui was speechless and helpless. The traffic stars were competing for resources, so why were they dragging in the amateurs? If you have the guts, just face it head-on. Why don't you make a video comparing your acting skills? No future!
——Oh, Yan Kai’s acting skills are just so-so. He and Guo Quan are on par with each other. They really are a match made in heaven.
Although Ling Suisui didn't like either of them, once he figured out the cause of the problem, the rest of the things became easier.
She first recorded the crazy content of Guo Quan's fans in her forwarding section, comment section, and private message section and saved it to preserve evidence in case these people deleted the speech records.
Then, she cut the trumpet and took screenshots one by one from a bystander's perspective.
Ling Suisui posted the screenshots to various marketing accounts, with the content saying "Guo Quan's fans broke down and insulted ordinary people because the main actor's acting was too bad."
Pay attention to the key words in her post: fans were broken down because Guo Quan was crushed.
Although it is a bit sad to say it, the fact is that if an ordinary netizen encounters cyber violence, no one may care. But if you say that it involves a negative scandal of a certain celebrity, then everyone will be interested.
Marketing accounts that want to earn KPIs prefer this type of submission. Guo Quan’s fans will definitely control the comments, and fans of Guo Quan’s rivals will also join in the fun, seizing every opportunity to mock him.
After these press releases were sent out, Ling Suisui logged into his newly purchased account, changed his profile picture to Yan Kai's, and posted a number of Weibo posts mocking Guo Quan in the tone of Yan Kai's fans.
Then, Guo Quan's fans started scolding her, and the criticism directly escalated to Yan Kai himself. Yan Kai's fans immediately joined the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely, scolding each other for their terrible acting skills, and slaughtering each other's hot topics and squares. GIFs of the two people's weird acting skills were flying all over the place.
Ling Sui didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. When Yan Kai's team used her as a tool, did they ask her if she agreed? Have you ever considered her situation?
Of course not. Both of them were quite arrogant towards her. They thought she was just an amateur and they could use her as they pleased and scold her as they pleased. To offend her was like stepping on an ant on the roadside.
So, since neither side is a good person, let them continue arguing.
The more intense the quarrel, the bigger the matter will become. It would be best if the whole city is in an uproar and each side tears each other's pie apart.
The system was shocked: [Host, how did you manage to provoke a quarrel between two groups of fans? 】
Ling Suisui: [Let me correct you, this wasn’t all picked by me. During the slipping-away stage, there was already some minor friction between their two fan circles. It is conceivable that even without me, they would have had a big fight. I just acted as a fuse, found a breakthrough for Yan Kai's fans, and added some fuel to the fire. 】
So, it doesn’t matter even if she pretends to be a fan halfheartedly. The conflict of interest between the two is clear. There is no point in arguing about the timeline of who rose first. It is just a fig leaf.
The system still doesn’t understand: [Why are you so proficient in these things? 】
Ling Suisui: [Because I was a female celebrity before. Any artist who pursues traffic cannot be unaware of these things. 】
She was being honest and it was true.
For traffic stars, online momentum and public opinion environment are related to their image and jobs. How can they not take it seriously?
When they say “I only think about how to play the role well”, the persuasiveness is as that of a student saying that he doesn’t care about test scores and rankings, but only wants to learn knowledge seriously, or a worker saying that he doesn’t care about pay slips and promotion opportunities, but only wants to work hard for the company’s business.
In fact, this rhetoric is just nice to say and even the fans don’t believe it.
On Weibo, fans of Guo Quan and Yan Kai were arguing fiercely. Although there were still a few people who came to curse Ling Suisui, the words they used were no longer so harsh.
After all, thanks to the efforts of Yan Kai's fans, the entries #郭泉球迷破卫# and #郭泉球迷网络暴国产人# have accumulated tens of millions of readings. If they don't want to provide new material for their opponents, they have to learn to control their mouths.
Scolding Ling Sui now is not just venting anger. Every time they curse her, they add more heat to the topic and let one more person who browses Weibo know that Guo Quan's acting skills are terrible and that he was crushed by Ling Suisui.
At this point, Guo Quan's team rushed out to guide fans to surf the Internet in a civilized manner and maintain a good network environment.
See, it turns out that when it comes to affecting Guo Quan's image, they also know that cyber violence is undesirable.
His team had remained silent before, tacitly allowing fans to use her as an outlet for their emotions in order to retain fans.
Judging from the results, Ling Suisui easily countered Guo Quan and Yan Kai, causing both of them to suffer losses. They might even be kicked off the list of male protagonists of the project together.
However, there was no expression of joy on her face, and she remained as calm as before.
For her, there was really nothing to be happy about. It was just witnessing the ugly faces of some people in the circle again.
Ling Sui sorted out the information and applied for Internet notarization and preservation of electronic evidence. She decided to first sue the platform to obtain the users' real-name information, and then sue individual citizens, so that these "impulsive" fans could experience what it was like to attend a trial.
The road to Internet rights protection is long, but fortunately, she has plenty of patience.
Even after she became famous, these were still materials for torturing her fans.
Ling Suisui did not feel wronged or sad, nor did she want to question why others had to bully her.
Being weak, unpopular and without background is the original sin, nothing more.
It doesn't matter.
She won't remain unknown forever.
