On the surface, Qidu seems quite pitiful, and people who don't know his true situation would believe him.
Everyone felt he was quite innocent, especially when a group of people who were criticizing him flooded into the live stream, they also sympathized with his plight.
Since we have a good relationship, I naturally choose to trust him.
His older brother on WeChat saw it and went up to offer some words of comfort.
Don't care about what others think, just be yourself.
[It won't have a big impact. Keep going, we believe in you.]
With our support, you won't flop, so don't worry too much.
Fans have different stances and speak without thinking.
Some fans are also very harsh.
He's just a hero, right? He started the drama, what does it have to do with us?
He's the one who hired the actors; you're innocent. We won't be fooled, don't worry.
Seven times, he's used to this. Every time something happens, he pretends to be pitiful, and his fans believe him unconditionally.
Only bystanders would criticize him for swindling money, building connections, and being petty.
But he doesn't rely on those things to make a living. He relies on his live streaming style and his revenue. As long as he has these, the guild will support him, give him resources, fans, and he can make a lot of money.
He wasn't worried; on the contrary, he was proud of it.
He showed the screenshot to Xu Xingchen in a boastful manner: "Look, as long as they are my fans, not one of them doesn't believe me. Now you can relax. I only care about traffic, not a good reputation. Anyway, in other people's eyes, I'm just a money-making streamer."
He has maintained this persona for a long time, yet his popularity has never declined.
This indicates that there's nothing seriously wrong with this style.
Xu Xingchen felt uneasy, but as it was a style of Seven Degrees, she couldn't change it. Although she didn't like it, she could only acquiesce and let her team handle it to minimize their losses.
Business competition is ruthless, and Xu Xingchen couldn't afford to lose profits, so she had no choice but to release some advertorials.
They managed to salvage Qidu's image somewhat.
"Sister Xingchen, OG Club has issued a statement saying they will investigate the matter of hiring actors."
Xu Xingchen asked, "Did that actor pay hush money?"
“They gave it to us, but they’re all experienced. They know what to do and won’t say a word. Even if it was them who did it, they won’t reveal a single word to us.”
This way, Xu Xingchen can feel more at ease, at least the fact that she hired actors seven times won't be exposed.
If it's just something someone else spreads, and there's no real evidence to back it up, then it won't have that much of an impact.
There are many such "actors" players in the game.
He's good at the game, and he acts as a troll in the high-ranking matches.
If the boss pays enough, a team can deliberately crash into each other's cars and stage a scene on the other side.
The outcome of the entire game depends on whether the actors are acting.
Some streamers even hire actors to help them climb to the top of the rankings.
Behind this is a whole industry chain that many players are unaware of. Only those who have played the game more and understand it thoroughly know about the actors involved.
This game is inherently a team-based game; in lower ranks, one person can carry the team to victory.
But in higher ranks, everyone is at the same skill level, so you have to watch when the opponent makes a mistake.
A game with one less player, five against four, is bound to lose.
Players hate it when actors are hired to play games; it's like cheating, and it's shameful.
This incident of Hero being targeted by someone trying to extort money has had a negative impact on him; he was genuinely disgusted.
The live stream never stopped throughout the night, and at two or three in the morning, there were one or two thousand people online in the VIP section.
The comments section was flooded with messages.
Viewers are all like this. Regardless of whether they have watched Hero before, if they sense any suspicious signs, they wish for the streamer to fail and make sarcastic remarks in the live stream.
It seems like if you criticize them a bit, the streamer won't be able to do live streaming anymore.
There was also a retired professional player who became a streamer. Because his name involved sensitive topics, he was labeled and made to look like he was extremely wicked.
This label has remained to this day and hasn't been removed.
When this streamer is mentioned on the forum, everyone is cursing and swearing, without any regard for the honors he once won for the country.
The power of trolls should not be underestimated. They can magnify a small matter and then magnify it again, turning the streamer into someone who is utterly wicked.
Therefore, as a public figure, one must be mindful of one's words and actions at all times; the slightest misstep can lead to being attacked and criticized by trolls.
Moreover, even though Hero did nothing, there were a lot of people in the live stream who were trying to stir up trouble for him.
Is this a livestream from a Chinese server streamer who hires players to intentionally lose?
Hiring actors to play in the top-tier matches is despicable, but what about professional players? They deserve to be criticized!
These topics never stop, and the moderators are too busy banning people to keep up, so they've eventually given up on banning them altogether.
I know what I need to know.
With advertorials flying everywhere and many professional trolls writing advertorials to smear people, Hero's actions have created a chaotic atmosphere throughout the entire community.
Tang Yaoyao couldn't fall asleep until very late, disgusted by these people.
The entertainment industry is complicated enough, and there are many people who criticize her, but no matter how disgusting they are, none of them are as despicable and disgusting as competition among industry peers.
They have absolutely no morals.
Even if they are not subject to regulation, capitalists only want to make money, regardless of the streamer's character.
Tang Yaoyao flipped through these advertorials and also saw the scandals of other streamers. She was not familiar with this circle, but after seeing the scandals of some streamers, her worldview was completely shattered.
Many livestreamers start from humble beginnings, have little formal education, and some are only teenagers. They are immature, lack basic manners, and have even less moral character. It's good enough if they can even be considered human.
The persona they cultivate in their live streams is actually quite different.
Upon seeing the advertorials on the forum, Fu Xiuchen immediately made a phone call and ordered them to be deleted, thus preventing the matter from escalating.
