Chapter 684: Hate Evil
As mentioned earlier, Lu Yuanning is from Hong Kong and has no connections or backing in the mainland. He relies solely on the popularity he accumulated when he was young to make a living in the mainland.
He is an old man in the music industry, and he is exactly 40 years old this year. Like Jiang Lin and Wang Xiangqin, he came into contact with the Internet relatively late, and cannot understand the unspoken rules of the Internet like the young people.
Someone deliberately framed him, and he only found out about it after the situation escalated and his agent contacted him urgently. However, by that time, the matter had become too big and it was too late to save it.
He also sent a lawyer's letter, a stern statement and the like, but the rumors could not be stopped and the specific source could not be found. It seemed that overnight, everyone believed that he was taking drugs. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the Internet police handling the case were too lazy to help him conduct a thorough investigation. In the end, the lawyer's letter became a mere formality and was left unresolved.
The period before the Spring Festival is the busiest time for singers as they have to attend all kinds of parties and commercials. However, Lu Yuanning could not get a decent job.
The atmosphere of the performance during the Spring Festival must be joyful and peaceful. To prevent unexpected situations, the program groups and planning groups decided not to use controversial singers for safety reasons. Besides, Lu Yuanning is a half-outdated old singer who has not produced any new songs in recent years. He is an optional choice. There are thousands of singers who are constantly innovating. There are many replacements for old singers like him, so there is no psychological burden to give him up.
Every day, someone would leave comments on Lu Yuanning's Weibo, cursing him for taking drugs and dying a miserable death.
He replied to these people seriously, "I don't take drugs."
Fortunately, there are still many fans who believe in him.
...
...
Xiao Ke'er also believed him. Xiao Ke'er strongly suspected that the singer who took drugs was Xia Chuan. Xia Chuan's character was not good, and he had a strong background. He could easily put the blame on the innocent Lu Yuanning.
Xue Yunfei told her to shut up and not to talk nonsense outside without evidence, so as to avoid getting into trouble.
Xiao Ke'er felt very sorry for Lu Yuanning. She felt very sad to see her childhood idol fall into such a situation. So as soon as she received Sun Weiwei's call, she recommended Lu Yuanning to Sun Weiwei.
Lu Yuanning was not part of the plan, so Sun Weiwei was undecided and discussed it with Liu Lan, Tao Zhiyao and others. When the rumors about Lu Yuanning were at their worst, Liu Lan was taking her final exams and turned off her phone and internet. When she came out of confinement, the matter had already gone off the trending searches, so she naturally didn't pay much attention to it.
It was Tao Zhiyao who reminded her that there were reports online that Lu Yuanning might be a drug addict.
She had a very good impression of Lu Yuanning, who was handsome and sang well. Later, when she was watching the show, she saw Lu Yuanning in the guest room, raising a thumbs up to the camera and praising her for being great.
Unfortunately, her participation in "The King of Singers" was too sudden and too hasty, and she did not speak a word to Lu Yuanning face to face.
Upon hearing that Lu Yuanning was taking drugs, Liu Lan immediately searched the Internet for relevant information, but found that all she found were "others said" and "rumors"... there was no solid evidence.
Liu Man is now a seasoned internet celebrity who has experienced many battles. She knew at a glance that there was something fishy going on. She held the same view as Xiao Ke'er, and the mastermind behind the scenes was probably Xia Chuan again. She asked Sun Weiwei and Tao Zhiyao, "Do you believe that Lu Yuanning is taking drugs?"
Sun Weiwei shook her head, "It's too fake."
"I don't believe it either, but I'm worried that letting a controversial person record a video might cause problems. After all, those TV stations are no longer cooperating with Lu Yuanning," Tao Zhiyao was cautious.
"We are internet celebrities, not a proper TV station. If internet celebrities don't create hot spots, how can they attract traffic?" Liu Man laughed, "Sister Taozi, how come you have become timid after becoming famous? You even secretly visited a black-hearted cattery before and dared to film everything."
At that time, Tao Zhiyao was still a rich lady, with the support of a powerful person, and she could call the wind and rain; but now, she has nothing except a film and television company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. The "young ladies" are the foundation of her entrepreneurship, so of course she has to be cautious.
But Liu Man's words aroused Tao Zhiyao's sense of justice and competitiveness. She said, "What you said makes sense. If our video can prove that Lu Yuanning is innocent, won't it be very popular?"
So there was "Home for the Spring Festival" 5 - Lu Yuanning's Home.
Three years ago, Lu Yuanning decided to develop in the mainland for a long time, and he decisively bought a property in the capital - a three-bedroom apartment. Lu Yuanning is still single and has no worries. He is also used to life in the mainland and rarely returns to Hong Kong.
When Liu Man contacted him, he was very surprised and asked, "Others are trying to protect themselves, why are you doing the opposite?"
"You should know why Xiao Keer was eliminated in the fourth game, right?" Liu Lan asked.
Lu Yuanning paused and said in Mandarin, which he had practiced for three years, "Yes, I know. Someone bribed the tuner to turn up the volume by two keys."
"Do you know who that person is?"
