Chapter 656 Accidentally Entering the Imperial Family Zhao Shuo knew these fans' personalities all too well. They were fanatical and extreme. Once they believed that he had "betrayed" them, the more they had fawned over him before, the more frantic the backlash would be afterward.
Thinking of this, he scratched his hair in frustration, threw his phone on the sofa, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
I owe my success to the support of these fans.
Traffic, endorsements, film and television resources—which of these can you do without them?
But it is precisely this group of fans who are like a double-edged sword, capable of elevating him to a high position, but also inadvertently dragging him into the abyss.
What puzzled Zhao Shuo even more than the fans' crazy plans was the company's attitude.
Logically speaking, if his fans are stirring up trouble and offending Luo Shuning, and also involving Gu Luo whose background is unclear, the company should talk to him immediately, ask him to come out and quell the incident, and may even punish him.
But so far, he has not only not received any criticism calls from the company, but has also received reassuring messages from his agent, saying that the company will "settle everything" for him and that he can just focus on filming.
"Is the company... backing me up?" Zhao Shuo picked up his phone, reopened his chat history with his agent, and repeatedly checked every word, his eyes full of doubt.
The company he signed with, Xingyue Entertainment, is only considered a small to medium-sized enterprise in the entertainment industry. Its boss, Wang Guangtou, is notorious for being opportunistic and always meek and submissive, afraid of offending anyone.
This time, they've offended Luo Shuning, who is backed by Tang Qi and Lin Yilin, who have absolute power in the entertainment industry. How dare Wang Guangtou stand up for him?
Zhao Shuo's mind began to race with wild speculation—could it be that his boss had been playing dumb all along?
In fact, there is a powerful force behind them, but they usually keep a low profile and do not easily reveal it.
That must be it!
Otherwise, his unusual attitude this time is completely inexplicable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo felt a secret joy. If his boss really had a strong backer, he would be even more protective of him. Wouldn't he be able to act more recklessly in the entertainment industry in the future?
I opened the fan group again and continued to lurk and spy.
Of course, I used a secondary account to lurk; the group's owner is his assistant.
That way, if something goes wrong, at least there's room for maneuver; if asked, you can just say the assistant didn't say anything, and it's the assistant's fault.
The group chat continued with its vulgar and suggestive remarks, with fans repeatedly praising her husband's boldness.
"We will always support you..."
"Honey, when are you going to learn how to make stir-fried noodles? Hehe..."
"Count me in, I want to be fired too..."
"......"
The enthusiasm is almost overflowing from the screen.
There are quite a few perverts in there.
Looking at these messages, Zhao Shuo felt quite helpless, yet he also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.
Of course, I wouldn't dare to make rice noodles; the last one was already eating a big bowl of noodles in jail.
Look at this bowl, it's so big and round...
Zhao Shuo knew that if his fans kept stirring up trouble everywhere, it would cause problems sooner or later and bring him a lot of trouble.
However, it must be admitted that this atmosphere of "shared hatred against a common enemy" makes the fan base exceptionally cohesive.
They support him by voting for him and spending money on him without hesitation, making them the core source of his online traffic.
This feeling of both worry and dependence is like a net, trapping him and leaving him in a dilemma.
Zhao Shuo closed the fan group, silenced his phone, and tossed it aside.
As the night deepened outside the window, he was wide awake, his mind filled with the crazy comments in the fan group, the company's unusual attitude, and the power behind the boss.
He had no idea that he had become a pawn in a game between several girls vying for Gu Luo's affections and marriage certificate. This seemingly sensational incident was nothing more than a power struggle among the girls revolving around another man.
This is probably what it means to accidentally wander into the imperial palace.
Zhao Shuo lay on the sofa for a while, his limbs sprawled out like a salted fish, his mind a jumble of crazy comments from the fan group and the company's unusual attitude.
After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to be suddenly awakened by something, abruptly sat up, reached for his phone which was lying to the side, and quickly tapped on the news headlines and various gossip hot searches.
A quick scroll through the page revealed a screen full of messages from his die-hard fans and the fans of Luo Shuning and Gu Luo arguing, indicating that the fan war had reached a fever pitch.
Zhao Shuo's fingers slid across the screen, his heart sinking with each glance—although his fans were highly cohesive and had a strong drive to fight as a group, they were no match for Luo Shuning and Gu Luo's massive fan base; it was no exaggeration to say they were like eggs hitting rocks.
He truly experienced what it means to "kick a steel plate".
Luo Shuning needs no introduction. Her song "I'm a Mother or a Daughter" became a hit across the country, and the news that she will be performing on the Spring Festival Gala has gained her countless fans, including many fiercely protective mothers who are just as fierce as biological mothers.
