"Is Lu Yuan crazy?"
"Is he crazy?"
"That's not what I meant!"
"Didn't he understand what I meant?"
"No, it's impossible!"
“How could my money be wasted?”
"this……"
evening.
A hysterical voice was heard in the office of China Peripheral Entertainment News.
Chen Mingchong stood outside the office and took a deep breath.
When he saw that the popularity of Weibo and various headlines was already suppressing Han Lu's momentum, his mood suddenly became complicated.
Zhou Shuai did not delete his Weibo post because of the online debate. Instead, he went even further and @ed some of the staff members of "Huaxia Entertainment Peripheral Newspaper"...
This gave Chen Mingchong an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Yes, it's a sense of familiarity.
It was very similar to the scene when Lu Yuan and Taiwan's Chen Jianfeng had a conflict and Lu Yuan @ Chen Jianfeng.
Then...
Chen Mingchong recalled what had just happened, and then...
His eyes widened instantly!
All the things that were originally incomprehensible seemed to become clear in an instant.
Then he subconsciously began to look through Zhou Shuai's interview hot topics in the past six months. He suddenly discovered that no matter whether it was the hot topics in Zhou Shuai's interviews or the hot topics in the headlines, all this information was related to Lu Yuan!
right!
That’s right!
Absolutely right!
this……
Chen Mingchong suddenly realized!
It turns out that Lu Yuan has always been on Zhou Shuai's side!
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh.
He finally understood why Zhou Shuai dared to say "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west" before he left.
Why did Lu Yuan choose to support Zhou Shuai? Didn't Lu Yuan know that cooperating with Zhou Shuai was not as good as cooperating with China Entertainment Weekly?
What can Zhou Shuai give Lu Yuan?
Money?
Chen Mingchong found himself confused again.
After about a few minutes, Liu Yong's voice in the office gradually became quieter.
Chen Mingchong hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.
"Come in……"
"Brother-in-law, you..."
"I see……"
Liu Yong sat on the chair.
Although he concealed it well and his face showed no joy or sadness, Chen Mingchong found that his voice seemed a little dry and no longer had the full strength it had before.
He looked a little haggard after not seeing him for a few hours.
"Brother-in-law, what do you understand..."
"Lu Yuan has actually always supported Zhou Shuai. It's ridiculous that I just called Lu Yuan to discuss cooperation..." Liu Yong shook his head.
At this moment he felt completely defeated. Not only that, but he had voluntarily invested a million dollars for no reason.
He is unique in the world in doing business to the extent he has done it.
"Well, yes... I just understood this. By the way, brother-in-law, what should we do next? Should we discredit Lu Yuan? Lu Yuan has a lot of negative information. I think we can..." Chen Mingchong looked at Liu Yong.
“Hehe… Other people in the entertainment industry are afraid of being smeared, but Lu Yuan, do you think you can smear him? He has been smeared since his debut. If you release the negative information now, it will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will be regarded as a joke. This kind of person seems to have negative spots everywhere, but in fact, he has no negative spots at all… And I can’t afford to lose this person…” Liu Yong lit a cigarette and began to calm down a little.
"Then brother-in-law...are we completely helpless? For example, should we join forces with the newspapers and media outlets that work with us to ban Lu Yuan?" Chen Mingchong hesitated.
"You should think carefully before making this suggestion..."
“……”Chen Mingchong lowered his head.
He found that his suggestion was indeed stupid.
Ban?
Others might be afraid of blocking this path, but Lu Yuan...
Even if you unite most of China's entertainment media, can you ban Lu Yuan?
Unless the relevant departments really take action, Lu Yuan will be more excited than anyone else.
"Let's wait and see how Joaquin arranges it. Right now, "City Fortress" and Han Lu are very popular. It's impossible for Joaquin to let Lu Yuan make headlines so easily..." Liu Yong shook his head and said this.
"Well...brother-in-law..."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't think Lu Yuan can continue to be so arrogant in the entertainment industry. In other words, I think he must have weaknesses..."
"What do you want to do?"
"I have a friend who is an outstanding student in the star training class. He will be joining the entertainment industry in December. I asked him to go to Lu Yuan's company for a while. If Lu Yuan really wants to start an entertainment company, he will definitely not miss this good seedling..."
"You want to arrange for him to be a spy?"
"Spy is too bad. I think it would be great if we had someone in Lu Yuan's company, right?"
“You can try…”
…
"Master Han... our popularity has been surpassed..."
“How much are my Weibo followers worth?”
"Four million, two hundred thousand..."
"Four million and two hundred thousand..."
"Um."
"Let's run it for a while..."
"Mr. Han, the company has invested a lot in our operations. A few days ago, we had 3 million fans at one time. I'm afraid this time..."
"I'm paying for it myself this time...Nowadays, this is the era of traffic. Traffic means everything. Do you understand?"
"Well, I understand, Mr. Han."
"That's good to understand. Go ahead. I'm not as petty as Wei Lai. Besides, Wei Lai's development momentum in recent years is not as good as mine. Among the new generation, I'm still ranked first..."
"Then is Lu Yuan considered a new generation..."
"Him? I guess he is one of them, but he is different from us. I can make a living just by relying on my looks, but he... he can't..."
"Um."
Lu Yuan's wave of rhythm was like a storm, which directly turned Weibo upside down.
Zhou Shuai’s Weibo instantly became the hot headlines in the entertainment industry today. The popularity of Han Lu and "City Fortress" finally couldn’t withstand the series of chaotic bombardment from Lu Yuan’s fans, and was finally pressed to the ground without any power to struggle.
no way……
Lu Yuan's power is at its peak now. It is even a little exaggerated to say that even if Lu Yuan makes a stupid and bad movie without saying a word, there will still be many people kneeling down to buy tickets, and the box office will definitely not be bad!
That's popularity!
Han Lu is well aware that this is the era of traffic. As the Internet becomes more and more developed, Han Lu feels that his future path will become wider and wider.
Lu Yuan...
It’s great now, but in a few years...
Is Lu Yuan still awesome?
Half an hour later, Han Lu received a call from the company.
After hanging up the phone, Han Lu's face was full of surprise.
"What? You gave up at the critical moment? Your popularity is just a little bit behind theirs, just a little bit... If you work harder, you can get there..."
"this……"
The marketing operations manager of Joaquin's Taiwan branch frowned when he saw that Lu Yuan's Weibo post caused such a sensation.
Shen Wen, the operations manager, realized that something had gone wrong, and he quickly called the leadership at the Joaquin headquarters to ask what to do next.
The leaders above have made their meaning very clear.
It means to stay out of the spotlight for the time being and there is no need to invest too much in advertising and avoid the recent hot topics.
There will be plenty of opportunities later.
After all, although "City Fortress" is a big IP, it is still some distance away from "Dream Traveler".
The company behind "Dream Traveler" could invest such a huge amount of capital, and even the publicity that exceeded the budget was acceptable, but this is not the case for "City Fortress".
after all……
The two levels are completely different.
When the company told Han Lu about this and told him that he didn't need to invest too much money in it, Han Lu felt a little unwilling.
Are you just about to give up?
Finally, he gritted his teeth!
He really doesn't want to accept this!
"Mr. Han, do you want to operate it?"
"Yes! I need to increase my number of fans and hire internet trolls to hype me up. Didn't I get a skin ripped playing basketball before? Should I post that photo too?"
"Master Han, this...will we be scolded? After all, this..."
"Scolding is also a kind of popularity, do you understand? This is the era of traffic, being scolded is better than no one paying attention to it."
"OK!"
Han Lu naturally knew that some of the Weibo posts would be ridiculed, laughed at, or even cursed at.
However, he didn't care about that.
In a sense he was not wrong.
This is his job after all.
As one of the hottest young stars today, he cannot let his popularity drop to a level that even he cannot accept.
Probably after three or four in the morning.
Han Lu’s Weibo popularity finally surpassed Zhou Shuai and rose to first place.
The Weibo posts were filled with curses...
"Fuck! Are you crazy? Five million? In just a few hours, your Weibo followers have reached five million? You must be kidding!"
"What? His number of fans is two million more than Er Gouzi's? Are you kidding me..."
"Yeah, you must be joking. You're brushing too blatantly!"
"Han Lu, please stop here, okay? Don't treat us like fools..."
"Fuck! Han Lu, are you so fragile? You posted on Weibo just because you had a little scrape? This photo is staged, can you please have some shame?"
"I don't know why, but I feel so disgusted..."
“…”
After seeing the popularity of the Weibo post, Han Lu was not angry. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Yuan was scolded in the same way.
I am just following Lu Yuan's path now...
Lu Yuan is scolded all the time but he is so popular in the entertainment industry now, so why can't I do the same?
I am no worse than Lu Yuan!
In the morning, Han Lu finally got his wish and became a hot topic on Weibo.
Fans list, popularity list, hot search list...
Ranked first on all three Weibo charts!
At the same time, the news of Han Lu's unscrupulous Weibo posting also made headlines in the entertainment industry, and even triggered a wave of heated discussions about the hype without any bottom line, as well as a new round of discussion about the current young idols' unscrupulous pursuit of traffic.
The topic of these topics is naturally Han Lu and some young handsome guys who imitate Han Lu and post photos...
Wei Lai was fortunate to be on the list.
He was rather smug, thinking that he had become one of the most talked-about figures.
He also unconsciously compared himself with Lu Yuan.
He felt that he, like Han Lu, was following Lu Yuan's path.
but……
At noon, when the official Weibo posted a message saying "In order to maintain harmony on Weibo and create a harmonious online world, certain zombie fan Weibo accounts will be severely dealt with...", Wei Lai was suddenly stunned.
He found that his Weibo followers, which originally numbered 3 million, had shrunk to 200,000 in an instant...
Han Lu's Weibo followers, which had once numbered 5 million, have shrunk to 250,000...
Then he saw Lu Yuan’s Weibo.
However, the number of Lu Yuan's Weibo followers did not change at all. Instead, it increased by more than 100,000 to reach a terrifying number of 4.3 million. After leaving the second place with 2 million, Wei Lai took a breath.
Are all his Weibo fans real?
What the hell!
Wei Lai gasped.
…
Magic City.
"Mr. Lu, your Weibo followers are on the headlines again..."
"What? How can this make the headlines?"
"Han Lu's Weibo account was run too aggressively, and he was almost criticized by Weibo officials... The officials saw that this would affect the authenticity of Weibo, so they cleaned up some zombie accounts..."
"Oh... then what?"
"Then many celebrities suffered, and their Weibo follower numbers had serious problems..."
"What about me?"
"You... you have increased..."
"How much am I now?"
"More than four million, no, hopefully it will exceed five million by the end of this year."
"Fuck, five million, am I that awesome? How come I don't know I'm that awesome?"
“…”
Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan who was surprised.
She suddenly felt that her boss's pretense was not smooth at all and was too stiff.
"Mr. Lu...are you really planning to create something original for this time's "The Voice of China"? "
"Um……"
"Mr. Lu, you haven't sung for such a long time, your throat should be okay, right?"
"Throat? It shouldn't be a big problem... I've tried it a few times before and it's still up to par."
"That's good... By the way... the program team may arrange a PK segment with King Zhou. King Zhou's singing skills are very good. We should try not to clash with King Zhou's style..."
"Yeah, I understand."
Lu Yuan nodded.
In fact...
He didn't take it seriously at all.
As for singing, just try your best and take it seriously.
Even if I am crushed by King Zhou’s singing skills, it doesn’t matter…
after all……
Can I still make a loss?
Seven million for one song!
This is much more important than the popularity of headlines or Weibo fans...
