Chapter 109 Review
Lin Chiran clicked on Lu Shun’s homepage, and the photos he had just uploaded appeared in front of everyone in broad daylight.
Two extremely childish faces were put together. It was a photo of Lin Chiran and Lu Shun when they were children.
In the photo, Lin Chiran was clearly wearing a birthday hat, but his eyes seemed a little lost, hiding a sadness that was not in line with his age. He did not look at the camera.
Lu Shun probably noticed this, and he poked his friend's mouth corners with his tender hands, forcing him to smile and even rubbed some cream on it.
It’s a very heartwarming picture. Looking at the photo, Lin Chiran can still recall that day.
That was his first birthday after both his parents passed away. Aunt Chen brought Lu Shun to celebrate his birthday, but he just couldn't smile. When they finally took photos, a photo like this was left.
At that time, Lin Chiran felt that he would probably never smile again in the future.
The reality is that as an idol, Lin Chiran’s birthday became the day when he laughed the most in the year.
From the initial stiff resistance just for business reasons to "sincerely" accepting fans' blessings, time passed quickly and slowly.
It was so fast that he felt ironically that he might have learned Sichuan Opera face-changing, and it only took a moment to conceal one's true emotions; and it was so slow that it was like planting a tree that would never bloom, just like the answer he had never been able to find.
Only after giving his true heart did "sincerity" slowly turn into sincerity. A real smile is much harder to put on than a fake one, but it made him feel a long-lost sense of security.
On the other side, Xingchen Entertainment.
Fang Yao stared at Lu Shun's Weibo post and frowned. This photo is equivalent to directly acknowledging the relationship between the two, and no other explanation is given. Could it be that they have a backup plan and have already thought about how to deal with it?
He even began to doubt whether the photo he got from Bai Yan could be the key to uncovering Lin Chi Ran's life experience, and whether Bai Yan had been betrayed in their deal...
The more Fang Yao thought about it, the more certain he became. Even if Lin Chiran and Lu Shun made the story more convincing, he would still be the one who controlled the pace of the incident.
He was sure that no matter in what form or when, as long as Lin Chiran's life experience was made public and the public was reminded of the affairs of Lin Jing and Xu Wanqing, public opinion would naturally help him swallow up everything without him even having to push it further.
Thinking of this, Fang Yao sneered and continued to proceed as planned, leading netizens to uncover Lin Chiran's background layer by layer.
Things turned out just as he wished, or even better.
Lu Shun posted the photos like a self-explosion, which successfully aroused the interest of people who had not paid attention to this matter.
Netizens have gone from doubting Lin Chi Ran's background to being certain that he must have a strong background and that he is definitely closely related to Shenghuang. They have begun to screen senior executives with the surname Lin one by one, but unfortunately they have not found anyone who meets the requirements. Some even started with his appearance and spoke eloquently and seriously.
It was not until Huanyu came out to lead the public opinion again that the crowd, who had been guessing excitedly before, fell silent.
Fang Yao's move was very sinister. He did not deliberately link Lin Chiran with Lin Jing and Xu Wanqing, but instead lured the audience to guess it themselves.
The new issue of Global Entertainment has a large page divided into two halves. Half of them were commemorating the singing king Lin Jing whose death anniversary was approaching, and the other half were speculating about Lin Chiran's life background.
The two faces were directly placed on the left and right. The editor also sighed kindly that after the sample issue was completed, he found that Lin Chiran was somewhat similar to Lin Jing when he was young. Even their surnames were the same. How could it be said that this was not a special coincidence?
[You must be kidding, how is it possible... Lin Jing had a child back then? 】
[Are you crazy or am I crazy? Lin Jing has been dead for many years and you still want to throw dirty water on him? How is that possible? He has nothing to do with that young lady! Do I have to eat human blood again after all these years? ? 】
[This is too ridiculous, but it's also funny that some people haven't faced the reality after all these years. Lin Jing is with that Miss Xu and is willing to die for her. Is it really worth you going crazy for him? He is just a cowardly and irresponsible man. I think it's unlucky to say that he has a relationship with Lin Chiran. 】
[Are you so cowardly and irresponsible that you would ask your agent to stop an accident when it happens? Don’t speak too much, and be a little more kind with your words! The couple was killed by people like you. It's disgusting that you still have this face after so many years. Is human life not more important than fighting for the innocence of your idol? 】
The sudden re-emergence of what happened between Lin Jing and Xu Wanqing no longer focused on what happened to Lin Chiran.
Young people who don’t know much about the situation also get a glimpse of the past in this increasingly wide-ranging war of public opinion, and lament the grievances and endings of the previous generation…
Several years ago, a concert stage construction accident occurred unexpectedly. Singer Lin Jing, who was at the peak of his popularity, was hit by falling objects while trying to protect his agent Xu Wanqing, and fell into eternal sleep.
When the accident happened, the concert making camera recorded this cruel scene in full. Countless people shed tears for the sudden death of the young singer, but they did not expect that this was just the beginning.
When everyone was mourning for him, it was unexpectedly revealed that the agent Xu Wanqing, whom Lin Jing sacrificed himself to protect, was actually his wife who he had been secretly married to for many years. She was also the only daughter of Xu Sheng, the founder of Shenghuang Entertainment, the company that Lin Jing worked for.
This was unacceptable to fans. Although they had long known that Lin Jing was married, they had always kept the identity of his partner well protected. It was not until this accident happened that people realized that she had always been by his side.
His handsome looks, gentle personality, elegant temperament, and dazzling talent have brought Lin Jing countless fans who admire him and helped him soar in popularity.
At the same time, when his relationship with Xu Wanqing was exposed, he brought the greatest harm to the person he loved the most.
The agent who always travels with him and the powerful daughter of the boss, these two points alone have caused huge controversy.
Some people say that Lin Jing has never had many resources in the past, and his talent has never been noticed. This is because Xu Wanqing, as his agent, is deliberately suppressing him. This is the only way to tie him down tightly. She is jealous, hates fans, and wants to monopolize Lin Jing's talent.
Some people say that in order to get promoted, Lin Jing deliberately got close to his boss's daughter, and hid the relationship after he became famous. He enjoyed the support of fans in vain but did not give any sincerity. He was arrogant, despised fans, and was self-centered.
Countless voices of suspicion surrounding the emotions and interests between the two grew louder and louder, even drowning out the mourning for the young singer who had just passed away.
People only care about the meaning of the emotions they have given in the past. The person who bears this emotion is just the object of venting.
The most absurd drama suddenly began in the entertainment industry, a stage where there is never a shortage of controversy under the spotlight.
Shortly after Lin Jing's death, he won the Golden Music Award for Best Male Singer that year.
On the night of the awards ceremony, Xu Wanqing walked on the red carpet and accepted the trophy he had always dreamed of on behalf of Lin Jing.
Lining the aisles, countless people were in tears and holding signs in protest. Noisy curses and quarrels came endlessly from outside the venue. Flash lights were lighting up frantically, just to capture the pain in the eyes of the person on the stage.
However, Xu Wanqing did not do as everyone wished. Even though her eyes were red, she did not shed a single tear.
But this became another crime against her. She was cold and heartless, and had no love for Lin Jing at all. She didn't even shed a tear for her husband who died for her. There is no one in the world more cruel than her.
Public opinion began to be one-sided, no longer focusing on Lin Jing's concealment, but venting all dissatisfaction on this proud woman.
They questioned her past achievements in creating stars, attributing it all to her status as a young lady, mocked her for not having a mother to bring her up, which made her so cruel and heartless, and resented how she managed to survive, but instead asked Lin Jing to take the blame for her.
Hatred lasts much longer than love, and the surging malice directed at Xu Wanqing only came to an abrupt end when the news of her sudden death came out.
It was not until the first anniversary of Lin Jing's death that his fans discovered an anonymous blog when they spontaneously commemorated him.
No one expected that Lin Jing, who always conveys tenderness and strength in his songs, had expressed his true feelings here. He was overwhelmed by the fanatical emotions of his fans.
People then discovered that Lin Jing had implicitly expressed in the lyrics that everything after becoming famous was different from what he had expected, and the overly enthusiastic attention and love made him physically and mentally exhausted.
He began to fall into confusion. He wondered whether the focus was on the music he created, the external image created by the company, or even the much-publicized title - a hidden gem that was almost buried.
Why would some people who had never listened to his music seriously show great enthusiasm, speak flattering words, but actually test his mind; why would some people spend huge amounts of money to buy hundreds of his records, and be arrested for theft; why would some people look at him with increasingly complicated eyes, attack his family, and call him an idol.
All of this made Lin Jing increasingly confused, until he talked with Xu Wanqing, he finally understood.
Nowadays, when simple entertainment can no longer satisfy the audience, a professional concept called idol has begun to emerge.
Idols are a kind of carrier, using themselves as commodities to sell emotions called yearning.
This was the original definition given by Xu Wanqing, who is known as the witch who turns stones into gold.
And Lin Jing, precisely in this era of vague concepts and confusing classifications, is regarded as an "idol" and too many emotions are placed on him that should not be the case.
This album, which won him the Golden Music Award for Best Male Singer, was originally intended to be used by him to prove his ability and gain more recognition in music, but he never expected that it would become his final act.
Lin Jing's blog posts have been reposted and circulated countless times, leaving some disappointed, some regretful, and some puzzled. Inadvertently, they became the beginning of the gradual clear distinction between idols and other professions.
However, the story of Lin Jing and Xu Wanqing has become a taboo. Whenever it is mentioned, it will inevitably cause huge controversy.
As a manager, did Xu Wanqing intend to use the marketing method of creating an idol to make Lin Jing famous? As a musician, should Lin Jing bear these things beyond the essence of music? If it hadn't been for the accident, what would have happened?
Bringing up the past again, compared to those who did not define idols in the beginning, how will the audience who are now well versed in the profession of idols view all this?
And this is exactly what Lin Chiran wanted to know. He spent ten years trying to understand and examine it all.
Now, the answer is revealed.
