Weibo crashed again today, crashing three times in one day.
Why, you ask?
If you look at the trending topics, you'll see that the culprit behind Weibo's three crashes is still trending on Weibo.
Actress Ye, who is currently enjoying immense popularity in the entertainment industry, has been involved in two separate scandals, both involving the same person – former entertainment industry legend, Actor Gu.
Around 7:30 this morning, many netizens who were eating breakfast were so shocked that they almost dropped their bowls, because the top trending topic was a shocking revelation: Ye Chu secretly met with her lover late at night!
Countless fans stared in disbelief at the trending topic, then rushed into the original post in a fit of rage, ready to fight the rumor-monger to the death. But when they saw the picture, wow, their sister's profile was incredibly clear.
"Sisters! What's going on! Is the trending topic real?" Yezi quickly took a screenshot and ran to the fan group to ask for the truth. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one; many other Yezis were also completely baffled at the moment.
"No, I don't know, sister. Anyway, let's try to reduce the buzz and suppress the trending topics first, shall we?"
"Don't make any guesses or say anything before Chu Chu speaks, understand? Wait for your sister to speak."
"Does Chu Chu know? She's still filming on set, isn't she?"
"It's okay if Chu Chu doesn't know, Sister Ji surely knows. Let's keep things calm for now."
The fans, who were well-trained, began to try to reduce the trending topic of Ye Chu, but unfortunately, they couldn't withstand the combined efforts of the large number of onlookers and failed to succeed.
Then, as the trending topic continued to gain traction, everyone realized they couldn't access it anymore! This was the first time Weibo's servers crashed today.
However, the Weibo crash didn't stop netizens from gossiping. Those who had screenshots posted them, and then a heated discussion ensued.
"Wow, is this Ye Chu's first scandal in her career?"
"Is this photo real?"
"Professionals have verified that the photos are genuine."
"The woman is definitely Ye Chu, but who is the man?"
"I don't know. I've never seen Ye Chu so close to any man. Is he someone outside the entertainment industry? Is it a secret relationship?"
"Come on, I bet it's more like a sugar daddy."
"Can you guys stop bothering us while we're analyzing the plot? What kind of sponsor are you talking about? Do they even need one?"
"How did they become famous without a sugar daddy?"
"So sour, so sour! Don't mind them, folks, check out my new discovery! [Pictures] [Pictures] [Pictures]"
Why post photos of Actor Gu?
"Holy crap! I know, the back view is exactly the same!"
"Wow!"
So, thanks to the "pickpocketing" skills that netizens have honed in their pursuit of gossip, a new trending topic quickly rose to the top of Weibo's hot search list shortly after the site was fixed: The real person behind the mysterious back view!
Poor Weibo, which had just been fixed, has crashed again.
"Wait a minute? What's wrong with Weibo's servers? I was enjoying my gossip when they took my spoon away?"
"What a bizarre metaphor!"
While the Weibo servers were still being repaired, netizens continued to dig deeper, and what they found was quite surprising: it seems that the two of them had been having an affair for a long time.
It was a Weibo post from a few years ago. The poster was a low-level member working odd jobs on a film set. His Weibo account only had inactive followers, which is why it hadn't been discovered for so long. The post mentioned that an actress on set seemed to be dating a recently retired film star. The retired star was frequently visiting the set, and the two seemed to be deeply in love.
Netizens scrolled up to find the blogger's old Weibo posts. Fortunately, the blogger's Weibo account did not have a time limit, so they could find even earlier ones. One of the posts mentioned that she was going to audition for a part-time job on a film set, and then she posted a Weibo saying that she had been accepted.
Netizens checked the timestamps of the Weibo posts, then looked through the movies and TV series that were being filmed at the time, and finally found that the most likely candidate was the crew of the TV series "College Entrance Examination" at that time.
The TV series "College Entrance Examination" was a hot topic of discussion across the country at the time. If you went online, it would be hard not to know about it. Moreover, the filming time of the crew and the time when the blogger posted on Weibo match up. Not to mention that what the two big gossips were doing at the time also matches the blogger's later Weibo post.
The recently retired Best Actor Gu was indeed filming on set at that time!
A shocking secret! It turns out that the current Best Actress and the former Best Actor actually had a relationship all along! But we only discovered it today!
"I went back and looked at their previous collaborations and variety shows together. The screen was filled with their affection. Why didn't I notice it back then?"
"Oh my god, I've been secretly shipping this couple for a while, and suddenly this bombshell tells me I've found out they're actually shipping the real thing?"
"Oh my god, I remember they've known each other since they were little! Their parents know each other too!"
It would have been better if we hadn't dug into it, because once we did, we discovered that there were quite a few foreshadowing elements, making us wish we could travel back in time and slap ourselves for boasting about their everlasting friendship.
The third time, Weibo's servers were finally fixed, only to have two of the main figures involved speak out.
Ye Chu V: Let me introduce myself, @Gu Yu V, this is my husband.
Gu Yu V: I'm claiming this as my wife, @Ye Chu V.
This time, without their superiors having to say anything, Weibo's programmers spontaneously began maintaining the servers.
