After the veteran fan spoke up, the fans in Sangye calmed down a lot.
They flocked to the account of the agency that Gu Zhisang signed with, hoping that the company could come forward to provide relevant public relations guidance to prevent the incident from further escalating and causing any adverse effects on Gu Zhisang.
However, after the fans had been on the lookout for quite some time, the official account of the agency still hadn’t responded.
It was not until angry fans were about to push the term #Cheng En Entertainment Inaction# to the top of the trending searches that the company’s official account finally responded with an ambiguous blog post.
Cheng En Entertainment V: [Recently, there have been many false statements about our company and its artists on the Internet. In response, our company would like to clarify the following:
First, our company did not contact online variety shows for our artists. The artists participated in and signed contracts independently, and the company's senior management did not intervene in the entire process.
Second, our company has always adhered to the principle of moderation and rationality in the packaging of celebrity images, and has not used any extraordinary packaging.]
As soon as this blog post was published, it immediately attracted people from all over the Internet to watch and discuss it.
This also dumbfounded all the fans who had been waiting for the economic company to take responsibility and speak up for Gu Zhisang.
Soon the new entry became the most searched topic, but it was not in Gu Zhisang's favor.
[Oh my goodness, is this an artist under Yin Yang's management company? It seems that Gu Zhisang's relationship with the company is not very good. ]
【Translation: Doesn’t this economic company mean:
Gu Zhisang took the initiative to accept the variety show, and she did have her character packaged, but she didn't overdo it. Unexpectedly, she was greedy and bought hot searches all over the Internet and marketed herself as a master of metaphysics. So now that she has failed, it is not the company's fault. 】
[It's so funny. This is the first time I've seen a company criticize an artist. I was like, how could a person with so many previous criminal records, who is a big shot and has a bad character, suddenly change his personality? He's just pretending.]
[It seems that Gu Zhisang is usually annoying enough in the company. Her traffic momentum is so good now, and she is definitely on the first line, but the company doesn't even help cover it up for her...]
【……】
Before the fans could even react, they discovered a wave of negative news online, alleging that Gu Zhisang’s persona was fake, that he was involved in massive marketing, and so on.
In order to take advantage of her popularity and put her on a pedestal, many marketing accounts and black fans spread rumors about her that were not sure whether they were true or not, and the rumors became more and more exaggerated.
Many of the current Mulberry Leaf fans have watched the entire network denigrate the show over the past two years, and they know how bad the reputation of "Gu Zhisang" was at that time.
But not many people actually turned against the party and ran away immediately.
I don't know why this woman is so cold and unpopular. At the end of January, apart from the scheduled "Spiritual Affairs" live broadcast and program, there is very little material;
But they just feel that Gu Zhisang is not as embarrassing as people say on the Internet.
Fans are just anxious.
The various groups were also flooded with messages, and people were a little confused.
'What should we do now? Can anyone contact Sangsang and ask her to come out and clarify?'
"I don't believe that Sangsang's strength and kindness in the show are all acted out. She is not an award-winning actor or actress, so how can she have such good acting skills?"
Many panicked fans sent private messages to Yan Cheng, asking him what to do.
Although they also know that in this situation, it is difficult to find a big powder to have any effect.
Yan Cheng, who had been following the hot searches for Big Eyed Boy, suddenly had a slightly gentle look on his face when he saw the blog post from the economic company.
He was silent for a moment, then called his secretary's private line: "Help me find out if there is any conflict between Yi Gu Zhi Sang and her management company, Cheng En Entertainment, and see if there are any A-level partners who are involved in the entertainment industry."
The secretary who received a rare call in the evening thought that something big had happened to her boss, but she didn't expect that the person she had to check after answering the call was a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.
In order to make sure he had not misheard, the secretary asked again. After confirming Yan Cheng's answer, he hung up the phone in a daze and started to investigate.
Yan Cheng's secretary was very efficient and quickly collected a lot of information from various channels and sent it to Yan Cheng.
"Boss, I don't know if there is any conflict between their company and Miss Gu Zhisang, but I found out that Miss Gu Zhisang had signed a gambling agreement with Cheng En Entertainment. As long as the goals of the agreement are not achieved, Cheng En Entertainment can renew the contract with Miss Gu Zhisang indefinitely. But now Miss Gu Zhisang's online popularity is obviously up to standard and more than enough."
The secretary narrated in a steady tone: "In this case, whether Ms. Gu wants to renew her contract with Cheng En Entertainment is in her own hands.
According to the information I have found, the contract between the two parties will be completely invalid in more than a month, and Miss Gu has not signed a contract renewal with Cheng En Entertainment. Many well-known economic companies in the circle are contacting her, hoping to poach her. "
Yan Cheng understood after listening to the first few sentences.
Apparently, Gu Zhisang was not treated well in Cheng En Entertainment before, and she did not want to renew her contract with Cheng En Entertainment.
Her current size and popularity have made her management company jealous, and they resent her for not renewing her contract, so "Cheng En Entertainment" wants to destroy the reputation and status she has worked so hard to build before she leaves.
Yan Cheng sneered in a low voice and continued to listen to the secretary:
"Among the current partners, the second son of Shengfang Group has invested in a well-known entertainment company and is now a shareholder."
Yan Cheng's eyebrows were indifferent as he looked at the message sent by his secretary, and he started thinking in his mind.
The best way is naturally to directly find an agency that has better conditions and knows Gu Zhisang well.
But doing so would be too cheap for Cheng En Entertainment.
Besides, Yan Cheng also felt that Gu Zhisang was a very proud person and might not like outsiders interfering in his private affairs.
Would she be unhappy if she knew that she acted on her own?
While Yan Cheng was deep in thought, he had already seriously begun to consider the feasibility of "entering the entertainment industry and opening an entertainment company" and "using commercial means to destroy Cheng En Entertainment" and other such ideas. At this time, the secretary's voice sounded a little surprised and came from the receiver:
"Boss, if you want to help Miss Gu Zhisang solve the current public opinion crisis... I don't think it's necessary."
Yan Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw the new entries at the top of the hot searches, he understood what the secretary meant.
#The main criminals in the major trafficking case in South Province were successfully arrested#
#The Southern Provincial Police Department thanks the contestants of "Spiritual Matters" for specifically thanking Gu Zhisang#
#Guzhisangling Group#
The three new trending searches are all related to Gu Zhisang.
In the first two articles, the Central and Southern Provincial Police Department reported in concise language the gratifying results of the anti-crime and arrest operations in recent days.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the police, more than 300 trafficked women and children have been successfully reunited with their families and found their way home;
Among them, there are more than ten victims living abroad.
The rest of the people were also investigating and making arrangements in an orderly manner.
At the end of the notice, the police also tagged the "Spiritual Matters" program team and the accounts of each contestant, thanking them for providing relevant transcripts and video evidence.
However, right after this long blog post, the Nan Province police posted another separate one, only mentioning Gu Zhisang’s account.
Southern Province Police Station V: [Thanks to the enthusiastic citizen @顾之桑-gzs, who provided our station with the key evidence to solve the case. We would like to express our praise and gratitude! ]
Once this blog post was published, it was forwarded simultaneously by many official accounts.
The entry just below that entry mocking Gu Zhisang's failure was very embarrassing.
There are also many highly praised comments saying that the person who discovered the evidence related to the major crime case could not possibly be Gu Zhisang. When put together with the official blog post, the dramatic effect is maximized.
This is not the end.
The contestants who had originally remained silent and did not leave the game actually liked the official post one after another shortly after it was released, as if to express their own attitudes.
Daisy herself likes Gu Zhisang, and she couldn't help but speak directly.
Witch Daisy in Norway V: [Sangsang is a very powerful and respectable master. She can be said to be the most mysterious and powerful person I have met in the past few years since I came to Xia Country and in the East. I have learned a lot from her. She is really very charming.]
No one had expected that Gu Zhisang, who was mocked by the entire network not long ago, would once again turn the situation around with ease, and it was such an impeccable achievement.
The mulberry leaf fans who had been swallowing their anger and feeling wronged were now proud and were running around telling each other the news as if it were New Year's Day, venting their inner dissatisfaction and frustration.
[Ahhhhh, Sangsang is really a god, right? This is the first time I feel that my idol is so motivated and uses his strength to defeat all the haters. It feels so good! Tears are pouring out! ]
[The official stamp of approval, the players all left the game, doesn't that prove what kind of person Gu Zhisang is and how powerful he is? Could it be that someone is still playing dumb and saying that the Southern Province Police Department and thousands of trafficked people are all lying together just to pave the way for Gu Zhisang? ]
[I’m so touched. In fact, the contestants have a good relationship with each other. Everyone is supporting Sangsang. Can’t the fans stop fighting? ]
[Zheng Xiaona next door also spoke up and thanked Sangsang! Can the "Spiritual Matters" program team do something and edit the program and release it as soon as possible! ]
[You can always trust Gu Zhisang. ]
【卧槽只有我一个人在意‘灵组’是个什么东西吗？官方这是啥意思？承认玄学存在？】
在另一条热搜中，带着官方大V的一条账号名叫‘容城灵组’，发布了一条消息。
容城灵组V：[欢迎@顾之桑-gzs以‘特聘指导员’的身份加入我们，以后请多多指教～]
评论区下方还有不少顶着各地区‘灵组’称号的账号发言回复：
南省灵组：【羡慕了，我们也想要大牛坐镇。】
云城灵组：【顾指导员考虑过来云城开设讲坛吗？】
不少一脸懵逼的路人根本就没听说过‘灵组’是什么。
但点开这些账号的主页，看到一个个被认证的官方警署标志后，所有人都沉默了。
紧接着全网都炸了。
所有网友、粉丝甚至是不关注《灵事》节目和不信玄学的人，都在问这到底是什么意思，‘灵组’到底是个什么组织？
【家人们6啊，如果这个‘灵组’是官方认证的稽查组，那顾之桑的地位岂不是很高？她是不是会有编制啊？】
【我做梦都没想到过，唯物世界里会出现这么玄幻的事情……国家爸爸不如直接告诉我们吧，是不是灵气要复苏了？还是发现高等文明了？】
【果然世界中还是有魔法的，只有我是个麻瓜呜呜呜呜。】
【淡定兄弟们，科学的尽头是神学。而且咱们夏国历史上就有正儿八经的记载，许多王朝都有国师，也有玄学存在。】
【心情复杂又激动，感觉自己要见证一个时代的变化了。】
【……】
直到最后，官方都没有对此作出什么解释，似乎只是把‘灵组’的存在推到了大众的眼前。
但无论如何，顾之桑这次‘大杀四方’、狠狠打了跳脚黑粉们的脸，是不争的事实。
许多吃瓜路人都因着她新添的一层神秘身份，而自发地下场、替桑叶粉们追着杠精和黑粉怼。
仍有嘴硬、不愿意承认自己脸被打肿了的黑粉还在强撑，说如果顾之桑没有黑料、没有营销，为什么她的经纪公司会下场阴阳她。
这个论点也很快就像一叶扁舟打翻在浪潮中，被推翻了。
先是以林湖为代表的一众‘成恩娱乐’的艺人们下场，借着顾之桑的热度把公司内种种阴私爆了出来，为自己搏一个前途。
作为钱证手底下的艺人，林湖其实还知道许多公司的内幕和黑暗。
之前撕钱证的时候她还顾及到自己的合同，单独放了钱证一个人的黑料和证据。
但想到这段时间在公司受到的待遇，她还是毅然决然把剩下的都放了出来。
录音中钱证亲口承认，是他给顾之桑接的《灵事》邀约，为得就是让顾之桑出丑、彻底变成一个笑话。
这件事公司是知道的，并且默认了。
还有后来顾之桑火了，他怒火中烧时拿林湖出气，被林湖偷偷录的音：
'她到底从哪儿学来的什么玄学捉鬼能力？公司也是废物，连这点小事都逼问不出来，就这还想拿捏住她？你也是个不争气的蠢货，我从她那里扒下来那么多的资源都喂给了你，结果呢你还是不温不火……’
再后面就是种种不堪入耳的辱骂。
同时还有神秘人直接爆出了顾之桑和‘成恩娱乐’签署的霸王条款和对赌协议，以及顾之桑前几年的行程表格。
还有公司下达的指标，让顾之桑必须完成某项任务——比如‘忘记’切号转发了圈中人的黑料……
如此种种长达数页的控诉，触目惊心。
网友们这才知道，原来在曾经的‘顾之桑’愚昧、无脑、耍大牌等等黑标签之下，是被掌控人生的无力。
一时间全网都在扒着过去的蛛丝马迹。
桑叶粉们看着这一桩桩证据，更是心疼不已。
【原来顾之桑确实有人设，但公司给的不是玄学大佬人设，而是恶毒蠢货的人设……现在合约到期了顾之桑不愿意被摆布了，就又要毁了她，这到底还有没有人权了，这公司是恶势力吗？！】
【天呐这些行程表，她之前连续几周每天睡不到5个小时！我扒了之前闹得最大的一件迟到事件，就在这个时间段，所以她当时不是故意迟到耍大牌黑脸，是因为工作太多了根本没睡觉累的，是因为赶不上才迟到的！
这是一个人，不是‘成恩娱乐’摆弄作践的工具！！】
【这份合同比蚂蝗还能吸血，顾之桑全年无休卖命工作，年薪折合下来最多只有小几十万，太惨了。】
【不知道说什么只是很为桑桑委屈，她被黑了这么多年，却没有抱怨过一句话，有没有人想过她今年刚刚22岁？要不是当年高中毕业被‘成恩娱乐’骗着签了合约，要不是没钱，她本该和很多在座的辱骂她的人一样，过着乐呵呵的大学生活。】
【桑叶们，当初桑桑受委屈的时候我们没在她身边，现在还要看着她被压榨她的狗公司泼脏水污蔑吗？冲烂这个狗公司！！】
别墅内，晏承沉默着看着一条条心疼顾之桑、为她声讨的评论，绷紧的心弦终于松懈下来。
他心道果然如此。
顾之桑从来都不是一个弱小的人，不需要别人的保护，她自己就能绽放出无法被掩饰的光芒，也可以斩除一切阴霾。
如今网上只要冒出一个杠精，就会被集火进攻。
'成恩娱乐’的官博下面更是被愤怒的桑叶粉和路人骂成了过街老鼠。
不出意外的话该公司的股价应该也在狂跌，许多艺人趁机提出解约，倾颓只是早晚的事情，也不需要他出手。
但晏承的心中，也有淡淡心疼。
最开始粉上顾之桑的时候，是她在选秀节目上。
说来荒谬，晏承第一眼看到屏幕后、舞台上那个张扬的女孩儿的面庞时，就心脏狠狠一颤，而后不由自主地去了解她。
那段时间他做梦的时候，都能隐隐约约梦到一些影子。
这让晏承自己都觉得很离谱。
终于有一天他忍不住，去选秀节目现场看了一次。
见到了那个小爱豆真人后，他有些失望。
晏承发现每一次看到她的眉眼时，自己仍有心悸感，可那种骨髓里让他战栗的感觉却逐渐消失了。
就仿佛他所为之动容的、和小爱豆本身是不一样的。
后面晏承的生活回到了正轨，但他还是在关注那个小爱豆，帮她打打卡、管理超话……
哪怕是全网黑的时候，晏承看了她那么多黑料，虽然最初让他灵魂颤栗的感觉早已消失，但他依然无法讨厌这个小爱豆。
直到某一天，小爱豆登上了一档玄学节目。
她第一次在节目中抬起双眼，直视着镜头时，那种最初的悸动再一次击中了晏承。
他开始重新在意起顾之桑。
开始追她所在的每一期直播，从头到尾蹲在直播间。
反复看着手机中的头像犹豫了很久，晏承才下定决心，鼓起勇气点开，发出了一条消息：
“顾小姐，今天谢谢你。”
想了想他又慢吞吞打着字，删除又重新编辑许久。
顾之桑洗完澡擦着头发拿起手机的时候，正好看到新消息跳出：
“网上的言论请不必放在心上。”
她微微挑眉，和系统说道：“这冰山总裁心思还挺细腻的。”
系统：……
小废物系统心中那种淡淡的奇怪感又出来了，缩在角落自己陷入了沉思。
发出消息后，晏承的心跳便因紧张而加快，他又有些后悔觉得自己贸然发消息过去，担心这一举动会不会让对面的人觉得他很奇怪。
不等他撤回，页面上便跳出了顾之桑的回复：
“谢谢晏先生，明后天我都有点事情要去处理，这周应该没有机会再帮你梳理煞气了。我给你的符箓不要摘，万一真有玄师来抢玉指骨那东西还能保你一命。”
晏承下意识握住了胸口散发着莹莹白光的玉指骨，眼眸中浮现出一丝笑意。
但紧接着，对面跳发出来的消息便让他笑容一僵。
只见聊天界面上跳出了数张色彩斑澜鲜艳、印有符咒和神像、兽像的图片，或红或蓝非常有神学色彩。
顾之桑：“对了，介于你确实容易招惹阴邪煞气，用正位神的画像镇身确实能起到一点辟邪作用，我给你分享的都是正儿八经有效果的，你可以根据自己的喜好选。”
光是她发出来的，就有门神‘神荼郁垒’、钟馗、九天应元雷声普化天尊等等……
看着屏幕上的消息和那些正位神的图像，晏承耳根又浮起了薄红，想到了白天尴尬的场面。
他默默把顾之桑发的图像都保存了下来。
这头擦干头发的顾之桑看到最新的消息：“谢谢顾小姐。”
不知为何，这句话总有种委屈的感觉，她笑了笑没再关注晏承，而是回复着助理小周、看着大眼仔上的铺天盖地心疼自己、给发私信道歉和鼓励的种种话语。
The smile in Gu Zhisang's eyes gradually calmed down, and there were not many waves in his heart.
Because the person who silently endured and suffered the online blackmail and ridicule for two years was not actually her, it was difficult for her to empathize with them, and she could not accept the apologies of these people on behalf of the former "Gu Zhisang" and reveal her scarred past.
After thinking about it, she edited a blog post.
Gu Zhisang-gzs V: [There is actually nothing to apologize for. The past is an objective fact. Your current heartache and apology are also genuine. That Gu Zhisang is already dead. If she saw what happened today, she would probably feel happy.]
As soon as the blog post was published, countless netizens and fans left comments.
Many people believed that she was deeply hurt by the abuse she had received in the past, which led to her drastic change in temperament.
But they didn't know that every word written by Gu Zhisang was true.
There was indeed a soul that existed and disappeared in those pains, but no one knew it except her.
——
The next morning, Gu Zhisang, who had bought a plane ticket, set off for Hunan Province.
After the plane landed, she wore sunglasses and a hat, walking in the airport as if no one was around. Many passers-by who thought she had an outstanding temperament and looked familiar were secretly staring at her. Some of them were eager to come up and ask her if she was a star, while others simply thought she was a great beauty and wanted to ask for her contact information.
But due to her powerful aura, no one dared to approach her and talk to her.
When a figure wearing a modified version of the traditional Miao costume and wearing a silver ring and a crown appeared in his field of vision, Gu Zhisang paused slightly.
The tall, beautiful Miao girl's eyes lit up and she waved in her direction: "Here!"
It was the Miao girl Ge Liaochan whom she had met once in Hunan.
Gu Zhisang: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ge Liaochan was in high spirits: "No way, I just arrived a while ago. Let's go, I'll take you to the village to welcome you. Dada must be very excited to know you're coming!"
As she said that, she took Gu Zhisang into the car. Although she was dressed simply, she was driving a bright red convertible sports car, which was very flashy and cool.
As soon as the fire started, Ge Liaochan's cell phone rang.
After she answered the phone, she spoke two sentences in Miao dialect, and her tone suddenly became higher.
After hanging up the phone, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sangsang, we may not be able to go to the village to rest first. I just received a call, and my colleague said that the villagers over at Shennv Lake in Min District are secretly planning to hold a 'River Festival'!"
"I guess we have to go take a look first."
The author has something to say:
I saw some students saying that school is about to start, so I will start writing more from tomorrow, so that you can read more before you go back to school and study hard qwq
