Neither of them were the type to dawdle, and after understanding each other's meaning, they immediately ended the call. Since they couldn't sleep, Lin Taosheng immediately got up and had the public relations department issue a notice.
Starry Entertainment Company V:
In the past six months, some malicious rumors have suddenly surfaced online, deliberately smearing the image of our artist, Li Ruan. Some people have also deliberately stirred up trouble to maliciously insult and defame Li Ruan, causing her extremely negative impact. In response to this situation, our company issues a stern warning, demanding that certain individuals immediately delete all inappropriate remarks and formally apologize to Li Ruan on Weibo within three days. Otherwise, our company will take legal action to protect the legitimate rights and interests of our artist.
The haters who were originally cursing and some people with ulterior motives quickly discovered the Weibo post. However, they did not take Xingyao's warning seriously. Instead, they started to make sarcastic remarks under Xingyao V and Liruan V's posts, and even the "Let's Go on an Adventure" live stream was not spared.
Director Wang was furious. He just wanted to make a good variety show, but there were always people who couldn't stand to see him doing well and had to cause trouble.
"Those who should be silenced should be silenced, and those who should be reported should be reported. In addition, the program team issues another statement: Speak with caution. The Internet is not a lawless place. We hope that the majority of netizens will not create rumors, believe rumors, spread rumors, or spread misinformation, and work together to create a civilized and safe cyberspace."
Soon, many people in Li Ruan's live stream were banned, and those who maliciously insulted others were kicked out. With the program team's statement, the comment section finally became a bit cleaner.
The production team is really bold; they're not afraid of a drop in viewership.
[Heh, look at the number of viewers in this live stream before you speak, okay?]
Wow, that gave me a fright! There are over 11 million people! Am I seeing things?
[Three live streams, one featuring a top-tier action star, another a popular young actress, a veteran actor, and a top-tier celebrity combination, and yet, they were all defeated by these two relatively unknown individuals. Who would believe it?]
You have to believe it whether you want to or not!
Don't you even realize that the show has only been filmed for a few hours, and Pear Soft has already trended on social media several times!
The key is that she does things that no one else can do, and Kong Wei, being a simpleton, is like a yes-man, doing whatever Li Ruan asks him to do. Yet, the atmosphere between the two is very harmonious, like that between siblings.
This greatly pleased Kong Wei's fans, who even helped to defend her when someone criticized her. The more controversial the situation, the more attractive it became, so it's no surprise that she garnered over ten million views.
Of course, the number of viewers in the No. 3 live stream was also quite high, with over nine million viewers, which is an absolutely unparalleled number in other variety shows. It's a pity that it encountered such a prodigy as Pear Soft.
...
The viewers in the adventure livestream who were drawn in by the trending topic were relieved.
But those haters who were either kicked out or banned broke down. They flocked to Li Ruan's Weibo and started hurling insults at her, using the most vulgar and offensive language imaginable. Some even had the leisure to post all of Li Ruan's past scandals, such as her wearing heavy makeup and dancing intimately with someone in a bar, and her getting into a luxury car with a bald boss.
There were even reports of her being groped.
You could say that it has everything except for sex photos!
The commotion was quite significant, and half an hour later, one comment became a top-rated comment: "I saw that bar photo earlier and it looked really familiar, so I searched it online and found the background is the same, even the angle is the same, only the woman is different."
The accompanying images are two pictures: one of Rika and someone dancing cheek-to-cheek, and the other of an ordinary-looking woman dancing cheek-to-cheek.
The two pictures are exactly the same except for the woman.
[Is this PearSoft trying to whitewash things? They photoshopped an image and are trying to mislead people? Can any experts verify this?]
【I'm coming! Just a moment, I'll be right there.】
OP: [May your whole family die from photoshopping! I have a few more pictures from the same day and the same bar; you can compare them yourselves.]
The original poster then attached several more pictures showing the woman and the man together. The background clearly indicates they were in the same bar, and the two were wearing identical clothes.
The comments section exploded!
At this moment, it wasn't just Pear Soft's haters jumping around under her V-neck; quite a few passersby were also attracted to her.
Someone asked: "If this one is fake, are the others fake too? Let's check them out together!"
[Every time Li Ruan makes a move, someone comes out saying she's dating a rich man and has a sugar daddy. Some people suspect that someone is deliberately trying to frame her?]
[After more than three years in the industry, he hasn't received a single decent opportunity? To say someone like that has a sugar daddy is just ridiculous.]
My cousin works in media. He said that his studio has handled more than one project with Hei Liruan. Although the young woman had a tough time, she helped them meet their monthly KPIs. She's a good person, and everyone in his studio is a fan of Liruan.
Many people didn't believe it, thinking the person was lying, but less than two minutes later, the person deleted the comment.
People who didn't believe it before suddenly started to believe it.
After all, it's illegal for online trolls to maliciously spread false information, so that person must have deleted the comment because they were afraid their cousin would be implicated.
Now some passersby didn't dare to speak up, but kept urging people to show their licenses.
Soon, a tech expert posted their verification results: "The one with the pear-like texture is photoshopped; the details and graininess are blurry when zoomed in. Also, these other pictures are all fake. I was lucky enough to find the original images. See attached images 1, 2, 3, and 4."
[...So, the person who's been smeared for so long actually didn't do anything; she was just being framed?]
[Impossible, it must be people hired by Li Ruan to try and clear her name. How could those photos be fake?]
[To the person upstairs: If you're blind, just get a new pair of eyes. Is it really meaningful to criticize for the sake of criticizing?]
What about the one where they're drinking at the bar? This one must be real, right?
[You're kidding me, aren't you? It's illegal for celebrities to go to a bar for a drink? When did the standards for celebrities become so strict?]
Then someone exposed some more evidence: a conversation in which a woman spent 200,000 yuan to hire online trolls to smear PearSoft, along with a transfer record.
If this audio had been released earlier, no one would have believed it. After all, neither party revealed their identity, nor did the person who released the evidence, making it impossible to verify its authenticity. However, due to the preceding groundwork, the audio was automatically considered genuine.
At this time, Xingyao Entertainment posted another Weibo post: Our artist Li Ruan has been working hard and diligently since entering the industry, and has never done anything that violates public order and good morals or even breaks the law. Such a hardworking and ambitious artist has been maliciously smeared by others.
