Chapter 115 Adding insult to injury
Things turned out just as the agency predicted. Xia Linxing had to swallow the loss and did not jump out to refute it at all.
Cheng Xuezhou slowly read the online comments. Compared to the initial outcry over Xia Linxing's dress ripping on stage, the public opinion had changed significantly:
"I was wondering how it happened that the dress split right along the line, revealing a large area of my back. It turns out this was all planned in advance..."
"Has it been too long since I've watched talent shows? Have trainees these days reached the point where they have to resort to such tactics to get ahead?"
"I noticed it as soon as the trending search came out. This is obviously a self-directed and self-acted show! The quality of the trainees' clothes is the same, so why are the clothes of the other trainees in good condition, but Xia Linxing's clothes just happened to have a torn part on the back..."
"This isn't that simple. Look, Xia's fans haven't been making a fuss about it, demanding an explanation from the production team... If it really was an accident, the fans would have been making a fuss long ago. But Xia's fans are still calm and busy licking the lip. Who would believe this if there wasn't something fishy going on?"
"So what if I directed and acted in it myself? It doesn't harm anyone else! As long as he's willing to put in the effort for me, that's good [little face turns yellow][little face turns yellow][little face turns yellow]..."
"Hasn't it harmed anyone else? Has the costume designer been eaten by you Xia fans?"
"That's right, I'm so furious with the costume designer! Not only was the beautiful outfit I painstakingly prepared ruined by the trainee who was supposed to wear it, but it was also ruined during such an important performance, leaving him with the brunt of the blame. If the production team holds him accountable, the costume designer might even be fired! How can you say such things without even affecting anyone else?"
"Wow, after analyzing this, I feel like Xia Linxing has such a bad character! He completely disregards the costume designer and the other trainees in his group just to get traffic for himself. I hope the traffic will backfire on him soon!"
"Take it early and it will backfire..."
"The same connection will backfire sooner..."
…
Looking at the neatly arranged rows of "Early Morning Backlash", Cheng Xuezhou felt refreshed, and all the unpleasantness he had experienced before disappeared completely at this moment.
Although the agency's method could not be a fatal blow to force Xia Linxing to withdraw from the competition directly, the dirty water thrown at him this time was enough to cause Xia Linxing serious damage.
Whenever Cheng Xuezhou thought about Xia Linxing being so worried about this topic and having to accept it with a pinch of his nose, he felt as refreshed as if he had just drunk a bowl of ice drink in the hottest days of summer.
He originally thought that this storm would end here, and that it would probably fade away with time. Who would have thought that "Xia Linxing directed and acted in this incident" would not end immediately -
Because it includes the program of the first performance, it was officially broadcast.
"#Xia Linxing breaks her voice#", "#Xia Linxing sounds unpleasant#", "#Xia Linxing is at the bottom#", "#Xia Linxing is the last#"... These types of terms have been climbing up the hot searches one after another.
The comments below the entry were all mocking Xia Linxing:
"Now I finally understand why Xia Linxing did all that trouble before... It turns out it's because his own strength is so rubbish, no wonder he resorted to such devious means..."
"So Xia Linxing is quite self-aware. He actually knows that his own strength is not enough, so he started planning for himself early on..."
"Help! Xia Linxing's singing is so terrible, why hasn't he been eliminated yet?! Is there something shady going on again?"
"I know this question! I have a friend who works on 'Star Journey'. He revealed that Xia Linxing has a strong background. Xia Linxing himself is a rich young man..."
"Ah? Didn't they say Xia Linxing was just an individual trainee with no background? Who was telling the truth?"
"Are you stupid, sister? Just because he's a trainee and his singing is so bad, he's still here. That shows he has a strong background! Otherwise, someone without background and ability would have been eliminated long ago!"
"I'm really impressed. Can't these second-generation rich just stay home and eat and wait for death? At worst, they can just invest and waste their parents' money. Why are they all running to pursue their dreams in the entertainment industry?! What is it about the entertainment industry that attracts you?"
"Exactly. I'm saying, those of you with rich families, can't you just debut directly? Why are you squeezing out the living space of ordinary trainees?"
"I'm so fed up with these second-generation rich kids who have no real skills and can only rely on their families! The little unknown kid I followed on my last show was squeezed out of his debut spot by a royal family, and he didn't make it at the last minute. Now he can only sing live online..."
"Singing is so terrible, why not withdraw early? Give the stage to the trainees who need it more!"
"Agreed, give the stage to the trainees who need it more!"
"Give the stage to the trainees who need it more!"
…
Cheng Xuezhou took a look around each entry and was simply amazed.
It was at this time that he realized that his company's methods were much more sophisticated than his previous method of directly exposing the information.
When they released the "self-directed and self-acted" trending search, they even considered the linkage effect after the first episode was broadcast.
Cheng Xuezhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, very satisfied with the current trend of online comments.
He wanted to see...how Xia Linxing would turn things around this time!
…
However, Xia Linxing was unaware of the bloody situation outside at this moment.
This is all thanks to his "999 mother" who loves him very much.
System 999 has been on high alert ever since the trending search for "self-directed and self-acted" emerged.
It's obvious that this trending search was deliberately bought by someone with bad intentions, deliberately trying to harm its cute puppies! Therefore, it will never let the outside world's storms sweep over its puppies!
Although according to the original plot, the fact that "Xia Linxing" deliberately cut Shen Sibai's performance clothes was indeed revealed at this stage, which is considered a necessary part of the plot, but System 999 insisted:
Its cubs only need to know that the incident has been exposed. As for how it happened, who spread the news, how public opinion fermented, and how the fans reacted after seeing the truth... its cubs don't need to know these things.
Xia Linxing was indeed well protected by System 999, and none of the rumors from the outside world reached his ears.
He only knew that he had cut Shen Sibai's clothes, but for some reason, after it was exposed, it suddenly became that he had cut his own clothes.
However, for Xia Linxing, the "crime" of "directing and acting in the show" is much lighter than the "crime" of "maliciously cutting his teammates' clothes before going on stage."
I don't know which kindhearted person helped him...
only--
Xia Linxing frowned in distress.
The audience didn't know whose clothes he was cutting, so they believed the conclusion that he "directed and acted in it himself"... This is normal.
However, there is one person...who definitely knows.
After all, no one knows better than the original owner of the costume...whose clothes are they...
