What happened on the trending topics list?
Sun Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and she quickly left the group chat and clicked on the trending topics list.
The top trending topic immediately caught my eye.
#YeChuPlasticSurgery#
Before signing a contract with the production company of "Tianban", Ji Juntao spent a lot of money every day to suppress the press releases about Shang Yechu's plastic surgery and keep these news and pictures to a small circle.
After reaching an agreement with Wei Xuan's side, these press releases gradually decreased. Furthermore, now that "Tianban" was under their control, as long as Shang Yechu didn't expose any illegal or disorderly conduct, the production company would have no chance of terminating the contract. Therefore, Ji Juntao relaxed somewhat.
Unexpectedly, this trending topic suddenly surged to the top of the trending list!
The fact that it could soar to the top of the trending searches in such a short time is definitely not the result of fans naturally boosting it; someone must have paid for it.
Ji Juntao immediately realized this.
Is it Wei Xuan? Or another female star in the same league as Shang Yechu?
There's no time to think about that now; we need to cool things down as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, Sun Xiaoxiao clicked into the trending topics, and after taking a closer look, she almost fainted from anger.
If it were just a discussion about Ye Chu's plastic surgery, that would be one thing. But the most popular Weibo post in the topic was far more outrageous!
This marketing account, known as "The Hidden Monk of the Entertainment Industry," not only posted many malicious screenshots of Ye Chu's previous works, but also filled its Weibo posts with numerous vulgar innuendos.
When Ye Chu first started out as an extra, she was ugly and poor, but suddenly she became beautiful and landed an important role in a big-budget production like "Yun Qing Ji" (although "Yun Qing Ji" was not well-regarded by anyone when it started filming, it has become an unprecedented blockbuster after the passage of time)...
Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on here?
The seemingly unassuming but actually influential figure in the entertainment industry subtly hinted that Ye Chu had a sugar daddy. This sugar daddy reportedly spent money on Ye Chu's plastic surgery, provided her with resources, and eliminated her rivals, spoiling her rotten.
As for Ye Chu's boss, Ji Juntao, he acted as a pimp. It is said that he sometimes shared a husband with Ye Chu. Even Qingping Entertainment was a company that this patron funded and set up for Ji Juntao's hobby.
After all, what college graduate with no background or connections has the ability to start a company in their twenties?
The entire article is utterly disgusting, like the kind of third-rate pornographic publication favored by vulgar readers. Yet, it's so convincingly crafted that it actually seems somewhat believable.
Even after being vetted by the entertainment industry's "sweeping monk" (a term referring to someone who works behind the scenes), the comments section was still utterly unbearable.
Holy crap, which sugar daddy has such a weird taste?
[Where did you find this hospital? The results are so good! I'll recommend it to my wife.]
There's no one clean in the entertainment industry.
[Hasn't this news already been circulating? Why are people in the comments section so surprised?]
Is Zheng Bohan the main investor?
Zheng Bohan isn't qualified. Screenwriters in the Chinese entertainment industry aren't that rich. They should be of higher status than Zheng Bohan.
[I heard he's a big shot in Beijing's elite circles, could it be Shi Shan?]
[Please have mercy! When Ye Chu first started out as an extra, Shi Shan was still filming "Meteor Fall" abroad. Shi Shan was just sitting at home when this mess fell from the sky...]
Please don't drag Shi Shan into this, okay? [crying emoji] Shi Shan and Ye are just colleagues! Shi Shan is already suffering enough from being suppressed by resource-backed actors, don't make things worse for him, okay? [crying emoji]
[Our Brother Shan is really not some big shot in the Beijing entertainment circle. Shi Shan is just a pitiful, dedicated actor who gets bullied by those with connections.]
Su Ge has a godfather, and Ye Chu also has a godfather; it seems "The Tale of Clouds" is a godfather elimination game.
[Did she really get plastic surgery? I thought her acting was quite natural, and her face wasn't stiff. Is the technology that good now?]
[Have you been brainwashed by the massive marketing campaign? Her acting is just so-so, she plays every role the same way, yet they keep marketing her as having Schrödinger's acting skills. Let's look at some acting analysis to calm down. [Link] - Ten oversights of Ye Chu in "The Mystery of Xiao Feng Que" - by Kui Kui·Give Me Back Xiao Feng Que]
[Image] You're telling me this means I haven't had any work done? That underbite looks like it could eat me alive!
[I know the Chinese entertainment industry is dirty, but this is just too dirty. Artists and their managers share the same sugar daddy, ugh...]
Sun Xiaoxiao was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot.
Sun Xiaoxiao had already read the press releases about Ye Chu's plastic surgery. Although she was shocked and confused for a few days, she quickly calmed down.
So what if she's had plastic surgery? Ye Chu's acting skills are far better than those actors with naturally beautiful faces! Besides, can the hardships she's endured along the way be erased by the operating table?
With this in mind, Sun Xiaoxiao not only didn't stop being a fan, but actually loved Ye Chu even more.
As for the talk of sugar daddies and sugar daddies, that's complete nonsense!
Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that the girl who said "Thank you, I love you," the girl who never used a stunt double for any of her action scenes, the girl who was forced by Ji Juntao to act in rural movies but still gritted her teeth and got a Best Supporting Actress nomination, could be this kind of person.
As for the claim that Ji Juntao was a pimp, Sun Xiaoxiao was even less inclined to believe it. Although Ji Juntao was useless and selfish, he wouldn't stoop to such a despicable act.
The "Entertainment Sweeper Monk" is a seasoned marketing account, clearly understanding the essence of marketing. Regarding Shang Yechu's plastic surgery, he posted extremely high-definition GIFs, easily refuting the claim of "malicious photoshopping"; while regarding the part about "Shang Yechu having a sugar daddy," he released several well-worn screenshots of chat logs.
One interesting aspect of entertainment industry gossip is that, with a silver tongue, even chat screenshots can become irrefutable evidence, planting deep suspicions in the minds of casual observers.
A half-truth is more believable than the truth. After seeing the seemingly irrefutable GIF, and then these seemingly plausible screenshots of the alleged allegations, many people would believe it to be true.
This kind of gossip, with its hint of romance, spreads incredibly fast. Soon, news of Ye Chu's plastic surgery, along with these few chat logs of questionable authenticity, spread across various marketing accounts. Claims like "Ye Chu has a sugar daddy" and "Ye Chu is a nightingale" quickly swept across the entire internet!
Those marketing accounts and influencers who had received hush money from Ji Juntao, and bloggers who had received money from Shang Yechu, turned their backs on him within just half an hour and started shouting along!
It seems as if an invisible hand is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Ji Juntao was furious!
