I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 180: Cruel, Too Cruel

In a CBD building in Beijing, neatly arranged workstations are filled with internet trolls posting messages.

Behind them are rows of shelves, which are filled not with goods but with mobile phones. There are more than a dozen in a row, and one shelf can hold hundreds of mobile phones.

These mobile phones are connected with special synchronizers. They use the latest cloud control system. One mobile phone can control 200 to 20000 mobile phones at the same time. A water army can control hundreds of mobile phones to post at the same time. The efficiency is terrifying.

They also have many business lines, such as live broadcast water army, popularity, playback volume, likes, comments, etc., which can be ordered by self-service 24 hours a day to achieve the purpose of enhancing the atmosphere of the live broadcast room.

In order to make the water army look more like real users, the cloud control system can also set batches, entry times, and different speech contents in advance to enter the live broadcast room. It can even go to the live broadcast room of competitors and automatically complain or even discredit them.

The manager wearing glasses was patrolling back and forth.

From time to time, he would yell: "Don't let me find you slacking off. Let me tell you, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. You can still sit here and work instead of being replaced by AI. You should thank the boss for purchasing this system. Otherwise, how could your work efficiency be so high now?"

It’s obvious that this manager is a long-term PUA employee and is very skilled in speaking.

Seeing that the employees were working hard, it returned to the office contentedly and began to study how to brew the new tea.

"Hey, Director Feng, go ahead and tell me what you want to say."

The manager picked up the phone and nodded frequently.

"You mean Jiang Hanwen? Don't worry, Director Feng. I've put him on the hot search list these past two days and hyped him up. The whole internet is paying attention to him? Hehe, let him have some fun."

"Of course, I will definitely not let him have an easy time."

"We have been in business for ten years. We have dealt with all kinds of top stars. It is easy for us to deal with such a small-time celebrity."

"Haha, 20 million fans on Tik Tok? What a shit. You're just an idiot. If you have fans, you should sell products and make money while the popularity is still there. Are you trying to imitate others in making movies? What a jerk. You don't even need Director Feng to tell you anything about this kind of pretentious person. I'll kill him if I see him."

“Is it so easy to make movies? You big directors and big companies have worked hard for so many years to build up this market and establish the rules.”

"Hey, I understand, I understand. I know what you mean. He has a good relationship with the police. There's no need to condemn him. I know my limits."

"Don't worry, I've investigated. This guy is not in the Bian, he's just a hired employee. He's nothing. He flies here and there all day long, acting like he's making 2.5 million. Don't worry, if something happens to this kind of person, no one will really help him. They're not in the system."

The manager paused and began to listen carefully to the instructions on the other end of the phone.

They have great power, but no matter how well they can manipulate traffic, they are just a knife in the hands of the big guys in the circle.

If the big boss wants to give resources to a certain star or a certain movie, they have to obey. If the big boss is unhappy and wants to discredit someone, it only takes a word.

On the surface, the entertainment industry is made up of a group of artists and cultural people.

But the cheating people and the leeks among them are much more ruthless than these internet trolls.

This Jiang Hanwen.

He was just a college student who had just graduated for a year. He became famous overnight by shooting some short videos on Tik Tok and suddenly became an internet sensation.

But the manager has seen too many people like this.

How many top stars on major platforms and in the entertainment industry are welcomed and sent off every year? It's hard to count them.

I watched him build a red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, I watched his mansion collapse, I watched him go to the vegetable market.

What can I do?

What is the difference between the audience's memory and the goldfish in the fish tank.

In less than three days, if we push the news that a young idol has caught a cold, the audience will completely forget about a former top star.

In this circle, the only ones who can truly thrive are those bigwigs who have resources and capital and can sit high in the sky and watch the heroes of the world with a smile.

Tell the truth.

The manager himself is also a fan of Jiang Hanwen.

From the perspective of an audience, Jiang Hanwen's acting skills are better than those of the four young actresses, the five returning sons, and the top fresh meat that are being promoted by major companies. Jiang Hanwen's acting skills are simply not in the same dimension as these popular actors.

Too much stronger.

He is even better than those successful bigwigs, and it is more than enough for him to win the Best Actor award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

But now he is talking about business, he is the second party, and he is looking at things from the perspective of the first party.

A young man who came out of nowhere made a good movie abroad.

The acting skills displayed and the directing skills are almost as good as those of the big bosses in office.

Of course, the entertainment industry does not exclude talented newcomers.

The prerequisite is that the newcomer must be obedient.

At least you have to show your respect by paying homage to the boss and serving tea and wine in front of the big guys.

The boss needs sensible juniors who are willing to give money and are obedient and hardworking, so he will naturally be willing to support them.

And what about Jiang Hanwen?
He doesn't come to Beijing, and the big guys in the Beijing circle don't visit him. He doesn't go to Shanghai, and the big guys in Shanghai don't know him.

He took a photo online with a girl who worked in real estate in Xi'an, and then he rushed into the entertainment industry.

What do you mean?
The Way of the Dragon? Expecting all the big guys to come find you?

Stupid, extremely stupid!
The manager had a smile on his face but was cursing in his heart.

You deserve to be punished. After you lose all your money and ruin your reputation, you have to go back to shooting short videos honestly.

"Hey, Director Feng, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

"Oh, Director Zhang and Producer Shen have also taken action. I was wondering why the traffic is increasing so fast. Director Zhang is so powerful that he has a say over the radio and television departments."

"Since the old gentlemen are so kindhearted and don't want to kill a potential rising star in the cradle, then we won't use any special moves and give him some time to breathe."

The manager claims to be kind-hearted.

The corners of his mouth were still twitching.

Bullshit kindness, these old guys are more vicious than each other.

In the end, people will still be tortured to death.

Push the traffic of "Three Teams" to the top.

Then sell the movie rights to major platforms first.

Finally, an unexpected incident occurred two days before the movie was released.

Report the movie for involving minors, and then get a group of Internet trolls to pretend to be parents, saying that the movie contains rape scenes, pornographic and violent plots, especially that the murderer beat the victim with the Mathematical Olympiad trophy, which has caused a huge psychological trauma to the child.
A series of combined punches have made negative news top the list.

Finally, Director Zhang contacted the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and directly removed the movie from the shelves.

Not only will the producers have to pay for the publicity and promotion, but they will also have to pay huge amounts of liquidated damages to the major platforms.

Finally, Qingwen Media’s online photography license was revoked on charges of illegal filming and illegal promotion of harmful information.

ruthless!
So cruel.

I just want to make a living by making movies.
Just because they didn't kowtow and pay tribute to you, you want to destroy other people's families.

That’s awesome! Otherwise, why are they the big guys while we work so hard all year round and still just remain as water army?

The manager sniffed, picked up the cup and took a big sip of tea.
