Chapter 57
Xie Xichao and Ji Yan sat together with a mobile phone on the table.
The sound coming from the speakers was loud and intense, and every second, the content was stomach-churning and uncomfortable.
The three-minute and 42-second sound ended with the agent's surprised voice, "What are you doing?" Ji Yan unconsciously pursed his lips and watched Jie Xichao turn off the screen.
After a long while, he said, "It's incredible that Jiang Wenhai could hide this thing for so long..."
What is truth?
He didn't know how to describe it.
He came from a large company, and because of his good looks and good personality, he had smooth sailing since he joined the company. The people around him are also friendly. As the younger one, he has always been treated like a cub by the older brothers in the company.
This was the first time he faced the dark side of this circle.
That's how people are. Growing up quietly through tiny little events.
Sometimes, this process is painful.
Of course, Ji Yan himself did not notice the change in his mentality. He just felt surprised and disgusted. He calmed down before asking, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
He paused, "Yun Pan should be very popular now."
Jie Xichao learned about this from Fang Qingqing last night. At the same time, he also learned some things about himself.
Let’s skip the latter for now, the former is definitely a good time for them.
Xie Xichao said: "Jiang Wenhai is unwilling to come forward."
Ji Yan was stunned for two seconds.
Then he sneered:
"He is very good."
"He has a contract, so it's really inconvenient. After all, Xia Ruiyan might go back even if he withdraws from the competition." Xie Xichao didn't say much, "Forget about him. I'll go find the production team."
Ji Yan stood up and asked: "I'll go with you?"
Xie Xichao shook his head: "Don't show up."
He said, "Go play with Yun Pan for a while. I've already told him about this."
Ji Yan pursed his lips.
He knew that Jie Xichao didn't want him to get involved.
He couldn't help but said: "Actually..."
He wanted to say that actually this matter had nothing to do with Jie Xichao, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was inappropriate. After all, Yun Pan had a good relationship with him, and these words seemed a little cold.
But even though he tried to take the lead, he believed that he could not do what Jie Xichao did.
At most, I can say a few words of comfort.
Then spend more time with your friends.
In fact, there was no result. Finally, he said, "Panpan is lucky to meet you."
Jie Xichao was stunned for two seconds, then smiled.
He said, "Bring me some food."
Ji Yan made an "OK" gesture to him and watched him walk out the door.
-
Xie Xichao actually knew what Ji Yan was going to say.
He doesn't feel like he is making any sacrifices. His parents are both intellectuals and they help him in any way they can in this regard. He was the class monitor in middle school and high school, and had just been elected as the student union president before the car accident.
Some things are like habits that are ingrained in our bones.
This is one of the reasons why he is good at communication.
The only thing that is a bit of a headache is that there weren’t so many twists and turns in my student days. After he entered the system, the system authority for the small world was almost like the world's will. Now, there was only a dice left to entertain himself, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
but……
Resolve evening and morning thoughts.
It's not a big problem.
Just go around it one more time and use the force to your advantage.
Thinking of this, he knocked on the door of the director's office.
Ma Hongping's somewhat tired voice came from inside: "Who is this? The door is not locked."
Xie Xichao said politely: "Director Ma, it's me."
The noise inside disappeared instantly.
After a moment, the door opened. Xie Xichao saw Ma Hongping's face with an unnatural expression.
*
Ma Hongping is not unnatural.
He was totally frightened.
He and Lu Yan have been keeping an eye on Jie Xichao's affairs these days, but to be honest... the results seem to be quite limited.
Audiences these days are not stupid. It is obvious that the program team has suppressed Jie Xichao to this extent. Even if the facts are told, fans will still be skeptical, not to mention that this is pure smear campaign.
The second public performance was so amazing that even though there were only 500 spectators, Ma Hongping suspected that all of them had already become tap water.
He later found out that the reason there were only 497 votes was that two votes were cast because the voting machine malfunctioned, and one vote was cast because a man in his forties was jumping too happily, and by the time he realized he needed to vote, the voting time had already passed.
Ma Hongping was amazed.
All in all, Super Rookie has never encountered so many recording repos.
Yao Xin would certainly not miss such an opportunity. The money power came into play again. Several interesting repos became hot topics on the entire network, with one meme after another, and even attracted many passers-by to join in, just to see what this god-level stage looks like.
These days, Ma Hongping felt like he was struggling to survive. The only good news is that Sheng Hong takes it very seriously and has brought in several waves of relatively advanced rhythms. Although the wind direction is still almost one-sided, different voices have emerged.
There are mainly two directions.
The first one can be summarized as the reverse:
"Why are there so many marketing people? They must be scammers. The show hasn't even aired yet and they're already hyping it up like this. I hate marketing people the most."
"I'm really going to rebel... The same old phrase 'become a god' is repeated over and over again. Fans shouldn't exaggerate too much. If the show turns out to be mediocre, it will be a slap in the face."
"That's enough. When will it ever end? Isn't it fun to step on other contestants and praise the real player every day?"
The second direction is to pave the way for the subsequent malicious editing.
"Xie Xichao's fans are so arrogant, they are just blowing the black material on the main character after he has been cleaned up, 80-star, get out of the show"
"I don't understand what's so good about a god-level stage created by exclusion and forming a small group. The dream of the popular contestant is a dream, but the dream of the unknown contestant is not. It's disgusting to sacrifice the unknown contestant to pave the way for yourself."
The so-called rhythm is nothing more than magnifying the "black material" and avoiding content that is unfavorable to oneself.
One of these two directions was to take advantage of the time difference and build up momentum before the stage was broadcast, while the other was to cooperate with the program crew. After all, Jie Xichao couldn't come out to clarify in person.
As for the 497 votes and the interaction between Xia Xize and Jie Xichao on that day, these internet trolls never mentioned it.
Ma Hongping admires him.
There was also a hint of guilt in his admiration, so much so that when he heard Jie Xichao's voice, he subconsciously thought that the other party was looking for him to settle the score, and he almost fell off his chair.
He felt ashamed and felt very uncomfortable looking at Jie Xichao.
He said, "Xi Chao, what's going on?"
Jie Xichao looked at him, and without makeup he looked pure and innocent.
He raised the USB drive in his hand and said obediently, "Director, I'm here to report it."
-
Fifteen minutes later, a solemn atmosphere filled the room.
He breathed a sigh of relief briefly when he realized that Jie Xichao was indeed not here to report the program... uh, Ma Hongping meant that he was indeed only here to report other things. Then he realized that this was not a trivial matter.
He frowned: "If it is true, then it is a character issue."
This is the truth.
However, as he heard Jie Xichao's explanation of the whole story, other thoughts emerged in his mind.
Wen Yao has also contacted the program team recently. The platform's attitude has always been somewhat ambiguous. One of the reasons is that he is still somewhat dissatisfied with Xia Ruiyan.
It’s mainly about positioning.
There are five people in the small group, and among the candidates they are currently leaning towards, the rap member Qiao Ye and the ACE Ai Qingyuan are both pretty cool types, and with Xia Ruiyan added in, there are just too many similar types.
In comparison, Yunpan's style is rarely seen in other top-ranked players.
Lu Xing, who also has a baby face, is going for a youthful and refreshing style this time, and he is actually not young.
This group is still lacking a maknae.
In addition, Yun Pan's popularity has risen sharply this time...
"Director Ma?" Ma Hongping suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Li Xichao's voice in his ears.
He coughed and said, "The production team knows about this matter and will deal with it seriously."
"How serious is it?" Xie Xichao asked.
Ma Hongping: “…”
He looked at Jie Xichao, who still had a kind look on his face.
Ma Hongping forced himself to suppress the thought, “This can’t be a forced question.”
He suppressed his smile: "We will contact Wen Yao, and then..."
"Issue a withdrawal statement?" Xie Xichao asked.
Ma Hongping choked.
But when he thought about it carefully, since Xia Ruiyan was confirmed to have violent tendencies, the platform would definitely not let him stay in the debut group as a time bomb. From this perspective, even if Wen Yao wanted to keep him, the best outcome would be to find a decent reason to withdraw from the competition.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that there was nothing to be vague about, and said directly:
"right."
Xie Xichao nodded: "In that case, I will hand the recording over to the program team. It will be more formal if the program team releases it."
Ma Hongping: “…”
"What?"
Xie Xichao looked at him and explained patiently: "It's the live recording of Xia Ruiyan bullying Yunpan."
"Sorry." He seemed to finally realize something and said apologetically, "I think I forgot to mention it just now. It's this USB flash drive."
Ma Hongping: “…………”
It must be intentional!
The corners of his mouth twitched as he watched Jie Xichao put the USB drive on the table.
"I've already handed it over to my agent," he said, "and asked her to help contact the marketing account. You know, words alone are not enough for this kind of thing, so it's better to have solid evidence. I was going to post it tonight, but after thinking about it, I still have to tell you."
He paused, and said more sincerely, "After all, Xia Ruiyan is also a contestant on the show. I think you should have the right to know."
Ma Hongping could no longer hear what was said afterwards.
He only heard one key word: marketing account.
Who are the marketing accounts?
The person in this world who is most afraid of chaos in the world.
Moreover, many marketing accounts are connected to each other. If one person knows about it, maybe everyone in their internal group knows about it. And the marketing accounts have close ties with major companies...
He could barely keep the expression on his face.
This doesn't have to be "reasonable and well-founded".
He wanted to tell all of Wen Yao's opponents that there was a big handle here, so they could come and add insult to injury.
This time, Wen Yao had no way out, and changing players was their only option. Not only that, Xia Ruiyan's acting career was also ruined. Wen Yao couldn't be saved, and the Xia family was helpless.
With substantial evidence in hand, the opponent will definitely teach us a lesson.
What the entertainment industry lacks the least is power.
He took a deep breath: "...Okay, I got it."
"Thank you, director." Xie Xichao said.
Then he paused, "You're a good man."
Ma Hongping's eyelids twitched and the USB flash drive in his hand almost fell onto the table because of this compliment.
