Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Verdict
After leaving the practice room, Lu Yao did not stay in the company for long. He found Li Qiang and asked him to take him back to the dormitory.
Now Lu Yao is the only one living in the dormitory; everyone else has gone home.
As Ding Ling said, the company gave them a holiday during this period. There was no daily training or recording arranged. Naturally, the trainees did not have to go to the company, so they packed up and went home.
Go to school during the day and rest at night. It’s a rare opportunity to have some free time.
Lu Yao had nowhere to go except the dormitory.
The company didn't arrange any training for him, but he didn't have to go to school either.
So even though he had a holiday for the first two weeks, Lu Yao still reported to the company after playing chess every day and then returned to the dormitory to rest.
Now that the vacation is over, the company has arranged practice courses for the trainees again, but Ding Ling did not ask for it, so the trainees did not take the initiative to say that they wanted to move back to the dormitory.
So now only Li Qiang and Lu Yao live in this building.
One lives on the first floor and the other lives on the third floor.
Xu Bin is on vacation and has returned to his hometown.
After Li Qiang saw the other person off, his work for the day was over. Seeing Lu Yao about to go upstairs, he quickly reminded her, "Remember to go to bed early."
God knows he got up in the middle of the night to drink water two days ago, and when he went out he was shocked to find that the lights upstairs were still on. When he went upstairs he saw Lu Yao still sitting there playing chess.
No wonder Lu Yao wins every day playing chess. With this energy, he will succeed in everything he does.
Lu Yao didn't say anything when he heard this. He turned around and went upstairs silently.
Li Qiang took a look and found that there was nothing unclear about it.
Well, I can’t go to bed early.
After going upstairs and washing up, Lu Yao started his busy day.
First, I took out my mobile phone and checked the information on the Internet.
In order to protect the trainees, the company generally hopes that the trainees will not read the comments on the Internet. However, in the information society, unless you live in an isolated place with no signal, it is impossible not to see the comments on the Internet.
It's just the difference between active and passive.
Most trainees would not take the initiative to search for information about themselves, but Lu Yao, unfortunately, searches every day.
There is a lot of information on the Internet, but there is still a lot of effective content that can provide him with some help.
After watching the discussions, Lu Yao opened the video software and started watching the variety show.
After watching some film and television works in the past two months, he found that he still knew too little about the entertainment industry.
During previous research, he focused more on the development system itself, but the development system is only a part of the entertainment industry, and this part has many differences from the larger entertainment industry.
Being a trainee is difficult enough, and Lu Yao still has no idea how to become an artist beyond being a trainee.
So, in addition to the previous arrangements, he made new arrangements for himself.
Take time to learn about the entertainment industry.
Variety shows, live broadcasts, business... these are all things he has never been exposed to.
After watching today's variety show, Lu Yao took out his textbook and started studying.
Compared to watching movies and TV shows that he didn't quite understand, savoring the love and hate in them, and watching variety shows that involved playing games and having fun, studying from textbooks every day was considered relaxing for Lu Yao.
At least the definition is clear and the answer is obvious.
There is no room for ambiguous analysis.
After finishing his practice, Lu Yao would take out the chessboard and start playing chess. The time he spent thinking always passed quickly, and even more so when playing chess.
There is so much to do and so little time.
The alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock. Lu Yao turned off the alarm clock, packed up his things, and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, I opened my eyes again to the sound of the alarm clock and greeted a brand new day.
Li Qiang was sitting in the living room and was not surprised at all to see Lu Yao coming in from outside.
He has now given up thinking about what time Lu Yao gets up every day. With Lu Yao's schedule, he feels that he will die suddenly in the next day. So although Lu Yao is strong in all aspects, it is normal for him to have a bad temper, right?
After the two finished breakfast, Li Qiang drove Lu Yao to the chess academy to participate in today's competition.
In recent days, more and more fans have been waiting outside the chess academy. Li Qiang slowly slowed down his car from a distance, for fear of accidentally hitting a fan who rushed out.
Driving at a snail's pace through the crowd, Li Qiang, with the help of the security guard, drove the car into the chess academy with difficulty, then parked the car. Lu Yao got out of the car, and with a burst of intense shouts, Lu Yao walked into the building.
After the figure disappeared, the fans outside also dispersed one after another.
Playing chess is a very time-consuming sport. According to fans' experience during this period, Lu Yao went in early in the morning and would not come out until the afternoon.
Li Qiang glanced at the gate of the chess academy where only a few people were left and sighed silently.
Lu Yao is really famous.
The fans who left immediately posted the photos and videos they had just taken on the Internet, and soon received a lot of likes and comments.
The fans are slower. They will carefully select the photos, choose the ones they like the most, and then do some simple photo editing. There is no need to adjust Lu Yao's face, just make his face clearer to take beautiful pictures.
Being Lu Yao’s fangirl is simply the easiest thing in the world.
After posting the photo, you only need to wait a moment to get a lot of praise.
What Lu Yao’s fans are waiting for every day now are his game photos in the morning and evening.
Then there is the group variety show every Friday.
Look at the blue sea and the bright young man, he is so handsome.
Speaking of group variety shows, in addition to the expectations of many fans, there is also the anger of one group of fans.
After missing the concert and not having her name included in the voting, Yin Hongxue’s fans were furious to find that there was no trace of Yin Hongxue in the group variety show.
They contacted the company, but still only received the response of "physical reasons".
But Yin Hongxue's medical records from the hospital were dug up, and they clearly stated that Yin Hongxue was fine. So why did Yin Hongxue miss so many activities? Even skipping group variety shows that weren't too intense and wouldn't put a strain on the body?
Fans kept questioning Minghui Entertainment, but they couldn't help but have many bad speculations in their minds.
Once the trainees' vacation was over and they resumed training, the fans were devastated.
Fans with connections got the news from their connections.
Yin Hongxue missed training.
What kind of physical reason would require Yin Hongxue, who is in good health, to miss training again after being sick for half a month?
Fans dare not say it, but the news that "Yin Hongxue is going to quit the fifth generation" is spreading like wildfire. The data group and big fans keep posting Yin Hongxue's previous stage shots and words like "I like the stage" that she said in the materials every day, trying to maintain the stability of the fan circle and calm everyone's emotions.
But you can easily find videos of Yin Hongxue attending school every day on the Internet. He looks very active playing basketball in physical education class and there is no sign of illness at all.
There is nothing wrong with his physical condition, but he doesn't go to the company for training, and fans can't ignore it.
Looking at the sudden revelations on the eve of the concert, many fans couldn't help but believe the news that Yin Hongxue really wanted to quit the fifth generation.
After Xiao Xun left, it is not impossible for Yin Hongxue to leave too.
In addition to the turmoil in Yin Hongxue's fan circle, fans of other groups have also been in a state of panic during this period.
The quadrant assessment is over, and the next step is the debut battle. This is not only the end point for the trainees, but also the moment that fans have been looking forward to for a long time.
Whether or not you can make your debut depends on this moment.
Although the fifth generation does not nominally consider ranking and does not have voting, the third and fourth generations of trainees both debuted under the voting system. The trainee whose fans vote for the most money will be the one to debut.
Very realistic and cruel.
From the very beginning, the fifth generation claimed that there was no voting system and that the treatment of trainees was not linked to their popularity. However, after four years of operation, fans found that this statement was a complete lie.
In concerts, the top group has the most stages; in materials, the top group has the most complete shots and story lines; even if the number of recording times of all materials is counted, the top group is still far ahead.
Previously, some fans took this data to Minghui Entertainment to defend their rights, but they received the reply that "the stage performance only depends on the trainees' abilities, the number of recordings needs to take into account the trainees' time, and the materials need to be edited to ensure the variety show effect."
Doesn't this just mean the lack of stages is due to the trainees' lack of talent? And the lack of recording material is because who told you to go back home to go to school instead of staying in Beijing and the studio every day to record? The lack of footage in the material is also due to the trainees' lack of performance, not Minghui Entertainment.
In short, it’s not Minghui Entertainment’s fault, it’s the trainees’ own problem.
Fans almost exploded with anger after receiving such a reply.
The trainees who have more stages, more shots, and more materials are recognized the earliest and accumulate more fans. They are motivated and will perform better, which will create a positive cycle and bring more stage shots and materials.
As for those with low popularity, everything they have is becoming less and less, and even if they work hard, no one will notice.
They always say that popularity doesn’t matter, but the treatment given to people with different levels of popularity is very different.
"If you take out the amount of footage of the top stars, even if you promote a pig, the pig can debut!"
——A fan made such outrageous remarks.
This also reflects the plight of the previous five generations.
The popularity pattern was fixed early on. Those in the lower circle have no motivation, those in the upper circle have no pressure, and only those in the middle circle are still trying.
And now, with his debut imminent, Lu Yao suddenly appeared.
Someone dug up Minghui Entertainment's previous remarks and made comments.
"So, the lack of cameras and stage performance isn't really Minghui Entertainment's fault, but the trainees' own fault."
It wasn't said who it was, but everyone reacted.
Someone commented: "But not all trainees are Lu Yao"
This comment received a lot of likes.
In three months, Lu Yao broke through the pattern that the Five Dynasties had maintained for four years with an unstoppable momentum, and showed no signs of decline, and continued to climb up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Every fan looking back at the past three months cannot contain their inner amazement.
Therefore, during this period, discussions about forming a group always involve Lu Yao.
Unlike the initial disdain, this time with Lu Yao added, everyone's opinions became very intense.
One party vowed that they would definitely debut, while the other party also had its own reasons and believed that there were better candidates for the group. After much discussion, not much result was achieved, which only made everyone nervous.
If there is no voting, what are the rules for debut this year?
Will it be based on popularity? Based on the rankings in the quadrant assessment? Or will there be new rules for the debut battle? Or will Minghui Entertainment make the decision themselves?
There are many different opinions, and people are paying more and more attention to the trainees.
At this time, a post caught everyone's attention.
"On October 19th at 10:00 AM, the case of the right to defamation between the plaintiff Lu Yao and the defendant Zhang Kang (Weibo username: @娱乐在线)..."
The content was long, but everyone quickly grasped the key points.
Entertainment Online, a marketing account, and Lu Yao’s right to reputation, isn’t it only the Lu Yao from the training system?
As soon as they saw these two keywords, fans immediately realized that this was one of the marketing accounts when Lu Yao’s bullying incident became a hot topic.
The marketing account deleted the post the next day. Although no apology was seen from the marketing account, fans generally believed that deleting the post meant the matter was over and the company and the marketing account reached a settlement, so no one paid attention to these marketing accounts anymore.
But how come the result of the case came out suddenly without any announcement?
Look at the date or two days ago?
So this means that the company did not settle with the marketing account this time, but instead sued it directly?
And looking at the final verdict, the defendant Zhang Kang was convicted of defamation and sentenced to three years in prison. Doesn't that mean he goes to jail directly?
The fans were completely confused and kept reading the newly released verdict over and over again. Even though Lu Yao's name matched the name on Entertainment Online, they still couldn't believe that this was the Lu Yao they had imagined.
Minghui Entertainment has always settled all disputes over the years, so why are they suing directly this time? And even sending someone to jail? Seriously?
The fans didn’t react, or they couldn’t believe it, but due to their enthusiasm, the topic quickly became a hot topic.
So just two days after the leaked video, Lu Yao's name was on the hot search again.
I am a regular customer.
Many people have developed a subconscious reaction recently. When they see this name, they click on the hot search. No matter what it is, they will definitely see the excitement.
As expected, this time it was also very lively and a complete mess.
But this time it was very strange. Unlike previous hot searches, where many big Vs and marketing accounts took the initiative to summarize and occupy the front row, this time the front row of hot searches only had a judgment result without a beginning or an end, and below were some shocked remarks from fans who did not understand the reason. Passersby, with their strong curiosity and perseverance to eat melons, flipped up and down in the hot searches several times before they finally figured out what happened.
So what this means is that Lu Yao, the fourteen-year-old Lu Yao who played chess, got injured, saved people, sang and danced, sued a marketing account and won, and now the person is in jail?
No, are you serious? Why do I feel like I can't believe my own ability to understand?
The fan girls were shocked, skeptical, and couldn't believe it, and then they were overjoyed.
Is there really someone out there creating these marketing accounts?
Has anyone actually sued for defamation and succeeded?
After so many years, the first marketing account finally got in!
After realizing this, countless fan girls were overjoyed and excited.
Star-chasing girl! I've been suffering from marketing accounts for a long time!
These marketing accounts are completely useless. They only post press releases about different artists every day to make some dirty money. Then they make sarcastic remarks about the artists and fans to make themselves look so noble.
Why?
Aren't all the posts on marketing accounts scraped from various platforms? Aren't the data on marketing accounts simply piggybacking on trending searches? Isn't the money that marketing accounts make all based on their fans?
They don't produce anything themselves, but they can make money from this. Besides attracting attention, will they do anything else?
Sure enough, when Lu Yao takes action, nothing is trivial. Look, this is another big move.
Countless fan girls rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and tagged the companies responsible for the verdict so that they could learn from it.
Only then did Lu Yao's fans dare to believe that this Lu Yao was really that Lu Yao. Realizing this, they went back and took out the list of marketing accounts that were on the hot searches at that time, and went back to look for them one by one. Only then did they discover that many accounts, including Entertainment Online, had stopped updating in the past few months.
So... this means that you're not only suing Entertainment Online, but also suing others?
Soon, fans discovered several more announcements through their searches.
The trial hasn't started yet, but Lu Yao isn't just suing one person! He's suing them all!
'Well done, baby!'
"Woo woo woo dog company finally did something about personnel matters."
'Cool! '
"Wow, Xiaolu, you've been wronged."
Fans rushed to tell each other, and it seemed that the suppressed emotions they had been feeling during this period were finally released. When they saw the negative reviews posted by the other party, they threw a verdict announcement at them, and the other party was immediately speechless.
Don't be so shady! The results are now in black and white, and you still dare to be shady? Be careful, you will be the next one in jail!
In a blink of an eye, all the people who had been tirelessly posting negative comments in the comment section disappeared, and no one anymore secretly mentioned the bully Lu Yao under the videos or posts that mentioned the development system. The fans felt that the anger in their hearts was swept away. This was simply the best news they had heard after the quadrant assessment was over.
But what is strange is that for such a big thing, the hot search dropped within a few hours, and apart from the fans and star-chasing girls who talked about this matter, the marketing accounts that usually ran the fastest disappeared this time, and no one forwarded it.
The next day, a statement from Minghui Entertainment made some people react.

[[Link: Regarding our company being commissioned by Mr. Lu Yao...] What does Minghui Entertainment's statement mean?]
——
Main Building
Are you cutting ties? Cut ties? Cut ties?
Yesterday I thought Minghui Entertainment had changed its nature, but it turns out it was just Lu Yao who was being stubborn?
[1st floor]
Absolutely, this statement almost has "It's none of my business, I'm just an agent" written on its face, so Minghui Entertainment is still so cowardly and a weakling.
【2nd floor】
So it wasn't the company that sued the marketing account? Was it Lu Yao himself?
【3rd floor】
Reply [2nd floor]
It seems so
【4th floor】
Ah, this...
[5th floor]
How can this jerk company be so disgusting and afraid of this? Isn't this just putting Lu Yao out as a scapegoat?
…
23rd Floor
No, why did Minghui Entertainment specifically mention that this matter had nothing to do with them? Why did they specifically point out Lu Yao?
24th Floor
Reply [23rd floor]
You found the highlight
25th Floor
... Let's talk about conspiracy theories. So Minghui Entertainment issued a statement at this time to tell other marketing accounts that this matter has nothing to do with them, it was all Lu Yao's fault, and if they want to retaliate, please target Lu Yao?
26th Floor

Not really...

If not, why would Minghui Entertainment issue this statement?

Wouldn’t Lu Yao be miserable then?

So Lu Yao’s fans found that after the endless negative reviews subsided for a few days, they suddenly broke out again.
Not only under the videos and posts that mentioned Lu Yao, but even under the videos and posts that just mentioned "airborne", "royal family", "cultivation system"... there were many comments about Lu Yao, which were completely copied and pasted, and they started by listing Lu Yao's so-called black spots.
"Ah, that royal Lu Yao... so disgusting. I hate these capitalist kids the most. It's so unfair to those kids who work so hard to practice."
"I heard that Lu Yao is very famous, and now I see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"This marketing guy named Lu Yao is so amazing. How come he can be seen everywhere?"
"Capitalists, can you please stop sending your ugly children to the entertainment industry?"
"Isn't that enough marketing? How can you know so much at the age of fourteen? Did you bring it from your past life?"
"Is this a good song? Didn't you just copy the original? You don't have any original touches at all, and you still brag about it? Fans, please eat something good."
"I used to have some feelings towards Lu Yao, but now the marketing is really too much. Playing chess, singing and dancing, studying, practicing martial arts... It's not easy for a person to do one thing well, can he do it all? He should take it easy with his genius persona. Is he really taking netizens for fools?"
There is no mention of darkness in every word, but every sentence hints at it.
The script has been updated again, removing content such as bullying, but adding more subjective judgments.
Whether it is beautiful or ugly, nice to listen to or not, whether it is marketed or not, these things are difficult to give a 100% answer.
No matter how handsome a person is, there will always be people who say he is ugly; no matter how good a song is, there will always be people who don’t like it.
As for marketing, as long as there are more similar posts, people will talk about marketing.
No matter who posted these posts and videos and for what purpose, as long as they were pushed to her, she was being marketed.
Seeing this, Lu Yao’s fans once again organized comment control and responded to these comments.
But this time, the speed of these negative comments was unexpectedly fast and even more unexpectedly comprehensive. It only took a few minutes for a video to appear in the comment section. Even if the video had less than 100 views, they could still find it and leave negative comments.
How can I catch up with the fans chasing after me?
All of a sudden, the star-chasing girls found themselves seeing the words "Lu Yao" everywhere, and it seemed as if the whole world was occupied by this person.
Take a few more glances, and you will see the royal family + marketing everywhere. You will see the name before you see the person, and then look at the overwhelming name, and the first impression of marketing will be deeply engraved in your mind.
I couldn't help but associate Lu Yao with the words "marketing royalty".
When talking about Lu Yao, the first thing that comes to mind is the impression that he is a marketing expert.
At this moment, Lu Yao, who had been playing chess and training every day, had a rare other activity.
He is going to school to take the midterm exam.
As soon as the seating chart of Lu Yao's class was distributed, someone posted it online. When someone in the comment section questioned whether Lu Yao would go, someone replied, "Lu Yao did not take the monthly exam, so his name is not on the seating chart." The unspoken meaning was, of course, that since Lu Yao's name was on the list this time, he would come.
Originally, taking a school midterm exam wasn't a big deal, and few people would pay attention. But for some reason, the marketing accounts that had been quiet on the Lu Yao issue for many days suddenly came out and reposted this seating chart with the caption, "Lu Yao, who ranked first in the opening exam, is going to take the midterm exam. As a professional Go player of the second dan, Lu Yao is not only excellent in academics, but also has impressive results in Go, winning thirteen consecutive games in the promotion tournament! We hope Lu Yao can continue in the same form and continue to win first place!"
It seems to be a boast, but the content is worrying.
