As a bystander, Zhou Yiyang, putting aside his dislike for Star Media and his regret for Helian Bei's own ability, felt that tonight's hot searches were really exciting.
After the content of Helian Bei's press conference was forwarded, Weibo was paralyzed.
Tang Yue switched to Douyin and found that Helian Bei also appeared at the top of the hot search list.
Later, Lan Xia and Star Media also became hot searches, and a "explosion" appeared after them.
Tang Yue's excitement was like that of a Weibo shareholder. "I can't believe this has happened before the Lunar New Year. I wonder what Star Media will do?"
"They definitely won't admit it," Zhou Yiyang stroked his chin, revealing a look of knowingness. "Helian Bei probably doesn't have any substantial evidence, so they're still acting with impunity."
The announcement subsequently released by Star Media did coincide with Zhou Yiyang's idea.
They first denied the incident, thinking that Helian Bei was talking nonsense, and even threatened to report Helian Bei for spreading rumors.
At the same time, they also issued a statement, in which they clearly pointed out that Helian Bei is now suffering from depression and paranoia, and believes that he has mental problems and that what he said cannot be taken seriously.
Star Media had obviously already thought of a countermeasure long ago, and even the proof of Helian Bei's illness was posted online.
Finally, they tactfully stated that there had always been conflicts with Helian Bei regarding the contract renewal, and speculated that Helian Bei's sudden false accusation against them was probably related to the contract.
After reading the notice, the four girls were stunned. If they hadn't been naturally disgusted with Star Media and hadn't already sided with Helian Bei, they would have subconsciously believed what Star Media said just by looking at the announcement.
Who made them not only have complete evidence, but also clear logic. In comparison, Helian Bei, who has mental problems, seems less reliable.
"How could they do this!" Su Yin frowned and stamped her feet angrily: "Teacher Helian Bei's illness must be related to Star Media, but they are actually using this to deal with Teacher Helian Bei!"
"That's a ruthless move!" Tang Yue pouted. She could imagine how public opinion would turn after this announcement gained momentum. "These medical records should have been provided by Jiang Ying, right?"
"It's horrible," Wang Xingrui said, her face pale. Although she had seen similar things in novels before, she still found it hard to accept when they actually happened to her. "What should we do now, Teacher Helian Bei?"
Lin Xuan'er shook her head. After she put herself in Helian Bei's shoes, she suddenly felt that she had no way out.
It seemed that the only thing she could do was to pin her hopes on Zhou Yiyang.
After reading the notice, Zhou Yiyang spoke from the perspective of a business owner: "Honestly, Star Media's PR and response this time deserve almost perfect marks. There were no mistakes at all. There's no doubt that public opinion has begun to shift. If Helian Bei can't come up with solid evidence soon, I'm afraid this matter will become increasingly unfavorable for him."
And the development of things was exactly as they expected. Those who had stood behind Helian Bei and wanted to join him in attacking Star Media disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What Helian Bei is facing now are doubts from the outside world.
[You can't trust Helian Bei's words, right? After all, he's mentally ill.]
[This big star isn't short of money, so why would he just put off getting treated?! In my opinion, Helian Bei should quit the internet cafe first, or else he'll get into a lot of trouble again.]
[Plus one, I'm sitting on the fence about Helian Bei. Who knows if what he said is true or just a fabrication!]
[The Lan Xia incident is very strange. None of her family members came out to protest, but Helian Bei did. I think if Lan Xia was really killed by the company, why didn't her parents react at all?]
What kind of harmonious world do these people above live in? Don't you know that some people only care about money? Regardless of whether Helian Bei is sick or not, the fact that female artists are sexually exploited by company executives is a common occurrence around the world, right?
[Just watching the show, I hope both sides can be more powerful and reveal more information!]
Zhou Yiyang had been paying attention to the wind direction and soon he discovered the problem.
At the beginning, there were quite a lot of supporters on both sides, and the arguments were very intense.
However, soon under the relevant Weibo posts, many people suddenly appeared speaking for Star Media.
It would be fine if these people simply believed in Star Media, but the words they used were very similar.
According to Zhou Yiyang's experience, these people are probably water armies hired by Star Media.
What they hope is to kill Helian Bei directly and prevent this matter from escalating further.
"After all, Helian Bei and I are friends," Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, "and if this matter really ends so quickly, it would be too boring for us, the spectators. So I'd better leave."
The four girls turned around, not quite understanding what Zhou Yiyang was going to do.
"Brother Yang, what are you going to do?"
"I'll also hire some online trolls to muddy the waters! Honestly, I think this Lan Xia incident is worth digging deeper into. There's definitely something fishy going on here."
With Zhou Yiyang's funding, discussions about this matter have remained high.
Star Media also realized that they seemed unable to completely control the comments, and they couldn't even remove the trending searches.
"Brother Yang, you are so awesome, aren't you?" Tang Yue looked at the trending searches and found that the heat had not subsided, and there were still many people questioning why Star Media did not give a direct response to what happened to Lan Xia.
"It's not all my credit." Zhou Yiyang said seriously: "Besides me, there must be someone else who fanned the flames."
"Who?" Su Yin looked over curiously, as if asking about a righteous partner.
"Someone Star Media has offended, right? Who cares? As long as this matter continues to gain attention, Star Media will not ignore it."
"Yeah," Lin Xuan'er nodded heavily. "Nowadays, there are so many things that no one responds to, and then when time passes and no one brings it up, they're just forgotten. It seems Star Media has been planning this from the beginning."
"This is all I can do now," Zhou Yiyang suddenly became serious. "Next, it depends on what other cards Helian Bei has yet to reveal."
After a lively night, Helian Bei still did not respond to this matter.
It’s Lan Xia’s fans, yes, she actually still has a fan group that has not been disbanded.
These fans began to search for clues everywhere, and their persistence alone was quite touching.
Unfortunately, all of Lan Xia’s social media accounts have been cleared.
Without leaving a trace, she seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. If Helian Bei hadn't mentioned her, she would have been truly forgotten.
However, Yue Shao and the other three could not happily watch the show. Zhou Yi Yang continued the filming process and only talked to them about the progress of the matter every night.
