Chapter 41: Public Opinion Storm
Lin Lulu is also very busy now. She has to liaise with the program crew to protect her rights, and also to appease other big fans who keep coming to her to ask about Xie Qingyu having a "girlfriend outside the circle".
She knew about the rose sending and she even asked about it when they were dismantling the flower wall.
But the most fundamental issue at the moment is not whether Su Mei is Xie Qingyu’s “girlfriend outside the circle”.
But since that marketing account has pictures and the "truth", it must provide more compelling evidence to prove that Su Mei is a fan and the roses are on the support wall.
It would be best if there was a video, otherwise no one would believe it even if Su Mei came out to make a statement herself.
Especially there is a... no, several fans next to it who are adding fuel to the fire.
For fans of other companies, all competitors are enemies. If the blame game fails, it’s fine. But if it succeeds, it’s like having one less strong competitor. Wouldn’t that be great?
Moreover, this matter does not involve the real owners. They are very happy to see the war between Bai Lang and Xie Qingyu's fans. It would be best if both of them end up in trouble!
Seeing Su Mei anxiously sending her messages non-stop, and even saying that she could come out and make a video to explain, Lin Lulu called her directly.
"Hey! Lulu, what should we do now? This..."
As soon as the phone rang, Su Mei picked up the phone immediately. She was a little flustered and spoke incoherently.
Ultimately, this matter was due to her lack of consideration. If this affected Xie Qingyu...
When she thought of this, she wanted to slap herself to death! She must be crazy!
Lin Lulu was calling Su Mei with her cell phone in her hand, while checking the private messages from Dayan's account on the other side.
She had just sent a message to the fan group asking for the video of her way home from get off work last night. There were so many people there, so someone must have taken a video of it.
After hearing Su Mei's words, I knew that she was also very guilty, so I could only comfort her first and then tell her about my next plans.
"Su Mei, don't be anxious. The current situation doesn't mean we can't clarify the matter, but we must quickly nip in the bud any signs of follow-up that may arise from this issue."
Lin Lulu kept flipping through her private message box. There was a video, and some fans also took pictures of this scene.
But the problem was that it was too far away, and he could only see the girl in the mask handing out the flowers, and Xie Qingyu walked up to take them.
This definitely cannot be sent out as proof of clarification. Not only will it not explain anything, but it will also give people a preconceived notion that what the marketing account says is true.
Lin Lulu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. No, she had to stay calm! Her fingers continued to search.
After hearing Su Mei's mood calm down a bit, Lin Lulu continued to tell her about the current progress: "I have already sent a message to the fan group, and the various fan groups inside are not in chaos.
"Now I can only be thankful that there were so many people last night, and fans were able to capture it from every angle.
As long as there's a camera angle close enough to capture what you're saying, we can quickly clarify the situation. And it's a blessing, not a curse. With this level of heat, clarifying the situation can quickly boost Qingyu's popularity."
"But the road home from get off work was really noisy last night. I couldn't even hear myself shouting." Su Mei felt like crying when she thought of this.
Lin Lulu sighed: "This is the fastest and best way to deal with it at the moment, and then quickly clarify this trend.
If we really can't find it in the end, we still have photos and videos of the cheering flower wall. Several fans also helped when we were dismantling the flower wall, and everyone saw it.
However, the impact of this clarification will be greatly reduced, and fans of other companies will easily use this as an excuse to make waves."
Su Mei grabbed her hair and rubbed it hard in frustration. If only...
"Found it!" Lin Lulu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, and Su Mei immediately perked up.
Lin Lulu kept pulling this short video of only eighteen seconds back and forth, and the fan who was filming it was very close to Su Mei.
Not only was Su Mei's call captured, but Xie Qingyu was also captured walking closer and taking the rose after hearing her call.
Great! Great! ! !
Lin Lulu replied to the little fan nicknamed "Orange Milk", expressing her gratitude for the material she provided and promising to give her a certain amount of money in return.
The little fan happily said that it was not necessary, and that she just took the photos casually after watching the performance. It was good that she could help, and she was not short of money!
If you need financial assistance later, she will be happy to help!
After thanking the rich little fan again, Lin Lulu downloaded the video and re-edited it herself, mainly highlighting Su Mei's call and Xie Qingyu's reaction.
After editing the video, Lin Lulu carefully explained to Su Mei what to do next.
"Su Mei, the issue with the video has been resolved. Now it's your turn. I need you to forward my blog post of clarification.
Then post a photo card from the performance, a check-in at the flower wall, and a commemorative photo of everyone taken after the flower wall was taken down. You don't need to show your face! Just prove that you are who you say you are. Just give a general description of what happened at the time!
Hearing Lin Lulu's orderly arrangements, Su Mei's tense nerves finally relaxed and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Lin Lulu thought about it, wondering if she had missed anything. Thinking of Su Mei's identity as an uploader, she reminded her again, "Don't use your uploader account when forwarding videos, even though you haven't updated any videos recently.
But the black fans accumulated before are all fans of the show’s characters from other shows, which can easily trigger another debate and complicate things.
Also, the program team doesn't need to send out invitations. Even if they're censored, someone with ulterior motives will be able to dig them out. Do you understand?"
Afraid that Su Mei would think too much, Lin Lulu tentatively asked her what she was thinking. There must be no problems on Su Mei's side at this time.
Su Mei wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly. Then she realized that Lin Lulu on the other end of the phone couldn't see her, so she quickly said, "There's no problem on my end. I have other numbers. Please clarify!"
Lin Lulu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the person on the other end confirm it. After comforting the other person again, she hung up the phone and started editing the blog post.
Jade GalleryV (Xie Qingyu's super topic fan): [#Star Dream Road##Star Dream Road Meeting Pervert Hands##Xie Qingyu Love Cafe##Girlfriend Outside the Circle# I just felt ridiculous and sad when I saw a few entries. It turned out that the fans represented all the little green fish to send flowers taken down from the support wall to Qingyu. Qingyu gladly accepted the two-way support from the fans, but was then smeared, slandered and spread rumors by those with ulterior motives.
So is idol-chasing now a one-sided affair? Do idols have to be aloof from their fans to avoid being over-interpreted?
I don't know, I only know that Xie Qingyu is innocent and has never let Xiao Qingyu's love fall on the ground.
I'll post the original live video directly in the comments section. I also ask @星梦旅途－白瑭 fans to stop spreading rumors and fabricating stories! Stop the groundless speculation and malicious attacks against Xie Qingyu himself, and work together to maintain a healthy online environment!
[Original video of handing over flowers on the way home from work.vd]
Su Mei immediately forwarded the message, describing the situation at the scene clearly, and sincerely apologized and blamed herself for doing this without thinking it through. Xie Qingyu himself is really, really, really nice.
Finally, he followed up on Lin Lulu's words and made a little joke, saying that he didn't expect Qingyu to accept the fans' kindness.
This is the best star-chasing experience I’ve had in all these years, and I really feel valued!
"Sister Lulu really took after Qingyu, a respectable old woman. She can even analyze this seriously with everyone without cursing. I'm really sad, sob!"
"Qingyu Baby is really gentle. The sister at the scene was already squeezed to the point of being overwhelmed by the people around her and was very emotional. Baby listened carefully to what the sister said before responding. Even so, she was still hurt by rumors. A certain fan is really despicable!!!"
"Also, the staff didn't allow the contestants to accept anything from the fans. There were a lot of staff members watching, but Qing Yubao still took the risk and accepted the fans' gifts!"
"I'm really pissed! Just because I have a good temper, I get treated like this? Contestants from the same era bully my treasure because he has a good temper, and his fans throw dirty water at him because they think my treasure is too easy to control!!!"
"A certain fan's heart is despicable!!!"
"Don't blame yourself, sister. This is just a normal little thing. As long as someone wants to throw dirty water on you, whether this incident happened or not, they can make up rumors about you!"
"I'll definitely be furious!"
"It's really rare to see such a talented person in the circle who dotes on his fans. Alas, such a rare breed is still being suppressed and bullied. It's really a bit too much."
"Uh... just a passerby. This idol is such a loser!"
"She was just a spectator the entire time. Even passersby would feel pity for her. What the hell is going on?!"
"Are there really still idols who are willing to go both ways with their fans? I'm kind of tempted to pick one!"
"This idol is really bold. If he doesn't clarify something like this, he'll be invincible. He's sure to lose his fans!"
"Baby Qingyu is scared, but Baby Qingyu will dare to do it again next time!!!"
"Please? Those are flowers that fans took down from the fan wall and left for him. Qing Yubao will definitely accept them, but that sister probably won't dare to give them to him next time [fine]"
"Am I the only one who noticed that the fans took down the support flower wall and cleaned it up before leaving? They are truly kind idols and kind fans!"
"Hahahaha, kind people are easily bullied."
"[crying]"
"I really like the way he secretly makes hand gestures to his fans. Is he asking fans to secretly give it to him? Hahahahaha so cute!"
"I love this one too! I've watched the video over 20 times in just 10 seconds. I'm hooked!"
"He does seem to have a good temper. Oh, please give me your support. Where do I vote?"
"Sisters above, the voting is still closed. It will be reopened after the first round is over. Can you help our Qingyu baby to get some star points to help the baby get more resources? Here is the link →"
"[Screenshot] has been clicked"
"Clicked +1"
"Clicked +1"
"Clicked +10086"
Because Lin Lulu clarified quickly and the chain of evidence was clear enough.
After the initial turmoil, a group of wavering people were cleared out from Xie Qingyu's fan base, and the remaining fans became more united, solidified, and stickier.
Moreover, the arrival of many onlookers also added a lot of new strength to Xie Qingyu's fan base.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's reputation among passers-by quickly turned around and became popular, he attracted the sympathy of passers-by.
Except for Bai Lang's fans who pretended not to see the clarification statement, the others who took advantage of the situation all quietly gave up.
In order to express their dissatisfaction with the voting channel being closed, the rich ladies simply pushed Xie Qingyu's star value to the first place, with a huge lead of 5 million star values over the second place!
Lin Lulu watched Xie Qingyu's star value quickly reach the top before she suddenly fell down on the table. Now her back was covered in cold sweat.
That was a close call!!!
She used to be a fangirl for stock buyers, and this is her first time being a fan leader for an idol. It’s really a job that requires a big heart!
But fortunately, this time it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Suddenly, the personal cell phone next to her rang. This was the notification tone she had specially set for the official "Road to Star Dreams". She perked up and clicked on it to take a look. She was instantly speechless.
If all talent show officials are of this kind, then "Road to Stardom" is the worst of the worst!!!
