Taoist Qinghui asked Taoist Wubai to accompany Jiang Chunian to meet the person involved.
Wu Bai led Jiang Chunian out and said to her with a smile, "Master uncle, do you know that you are now the most hated person by celebrities in the entertainment industry?"
"Huh?" Jiang Chunian was surprised: "Where did you get that from?"
It seems like she hasn't taken action against any celebrity in a long time?
Wu Bai laughed and said, "Do you know what is the lifeblood of a celebrity?"
Jiang Chunian thought for a moment: "Works?"
Without works, you can't stand firm. It should be the works, right?
"No, it's popularity." Wu Bai laughed and said, "There are many celebrities who don't actually have any representative works, but they are still very popular. Why? Because of their trending physique."
"Hot search physique?" Jiang Chunian raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's the trending topic physique." Wu Bai smiled: "Take you, for example, uncle-master, you are a typical trending topic physique. From the first time you appeared in front of the public in a live broadcast, before you even started fortune-telling or solving cases, you have already been scolded and become a trending topic. This is incredible for an ordinary person.
Because most people's attention is usually focused on celebrities they know, not some random person who popped up out of nowhere. But you're different. From the very beginning, you've been controversial. People can't help but focus on you, trying to dig out the information they want from you. So you must have a natural aura that attracts people's attention, which is why you frequently appear on trending searches and are talked about every day.
"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Chunian nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly what it is." Wu Bai smiled. "Popularity means traffic, and also the ability to monetize. Brands like to find celebrities with both popularity and traffic as their spokespeople because they can increase their brand awareness, allowing more people to recognize and understand them, and ultimately choose them when purchasing. This is endorsement in a good state. Some brands also use high-traffic celebrities as spokespeople simply to reap the benefits of their fans."
Jiang Chunian has a little understanding: "Just like those fast food brands that approach me to endorse, they don't really want to use me to expand their brand influence, they just want to use my current popularity to sell products. Because there are always people who like me and buy the products I endorse just to support me."
"Yes, that's what I mean. So now it's also a fan circle economy. Celebrities create a persona that fans want, and fans place all their hopes on the celebrities, hoping that they can become top-tier and get better resources. But to achieve these, they must prove that the celebrities have commercial value. So in order to increase the commercial value of celebrities, fans will consciously or be required to buy products endorsed by celebrities, regardless of whether they need them or not. So fans have another name in the capital circle, called leeks." Wu Bai smiled.
"It's a good image. But what does this have to do with me?" Jiang Chunian said, "I'm not in the entertainment industry, I don't accept endorsements, and I don't film. It doesn't bother them, right? Why would they hate me?"
Wu Bai laughed, "Didn't I just tell you that you're a trending topic? Whenever you show up, you're bound to be on the trending searches. If you livestream your fortune-telling, then that day, the entire trending search list will basically be dominated by you. You must know that since yesterday morning, the trending searches about your upcoming livestream tonight have been hanging on the trending search list. By the time your livestream opened, the trending searches related to you had basically dominated the entire trending search list. Those celebrities originally wanted to buy a trending search to maintain their popularity, but in the end, you squeezed them out before they even got on. Even if they managed to get on, it wouldn't have achieved the effect they wanted. It's like wasting their money, without making any splash at all."
"I also heard an interesting story." Wu Bai found it hilarious when he thought about it. "The day before yesterday, a popular actress lost in a competition for a role, so she wanted to use the opportunity to blackmail the other party and play herself in a pitiful way to attract traffic and fans. As a result, not long after she posted it, the news of your live broadcast was posted on Weibo, and it immediately became a trending topic, completely suppressing her trending topic. Aside from a few fans, no one cared whether she was bullied or not. She was so angry that she smashed her phone and scolded you harshly."
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Chunian had no idea. "Let me know when she becomes a trending topic next time."
"Hmm?" Wubai raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Chunian snorted coldly: "Dare to scold me? Don't even think about her being on the trending search list again. I ruined her job last time."
Wu Bai couldn't help but laugh: "Master uncle, you are really interesting."
"Anyway, didn't you say that I have a hot search physique? The so-called hot search physique means that just drinking a sip of water can make me a hot search. Then I will go drink a sip of water." Jiang Chunian said evilly.
Wubai found it so funny that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Of course, Jiang Chunian was just talking. She didn't have the time and energy to take care of these things.
After the two of them got in the car, Jiang Chunian asked Wu Bai, "What kind of case is this?"
Wu Bai briefly explained to her as he drove, "This was originally a case the Metaphysics Association had taken on. A husband sought help, saying his wife had been dreaming of ghosts every night for a month. His wife was emaciated and unbearable, so she left a message on the Metaphysics Association's official website asking for help. A younger disciple of the Xuanmen sect took the case. He thought it was just a simple case of sleep paralysis, so he performed an exorcism and gave them amulets. They were quiet for two days, but the ghost soon returned. So they contacted the disciple again. Feeling provoked, the disciple began lurking in their home, determined to capture the ghost. He spent the entire night lurking to no avail, but the wife was still haunted by the ghost. Unwilling to give up, he lurked for three days in a row, still finding nothing, and the wife was still haunted by the ghost."
"Later, the Xuanmen disciple realized he couldn't resolve the matter, so he reported it to the Xuanmen Association. The Association's president sent an experienced steward to handle it. However, the steward discovered that the wife was pregnant, and it seemed to be a ghost baby!"
