How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 167 Jiang Yu was cyberbullied
Jiang Yu's popularity and popularity were already high, and coupled with the popular superstar Hu Tian, ​​the two had always been at odds. Now, as soon as this video was released, the popularity exploded instantly. Add to that some unscrupulous media and marketing accounts trying to capitalize on the popularity, and all kinds of speculation have emerged.

Topics like the two fighting over Su Muwan, Jiang Yu being a big shot, and the battle between rivals became very popular all of a sudden. Not long after the video became a hot topic, all kinds of hype and marketing accounts were flying around the internet.

"Ah? No way? Jiang Yu and Hu Tian actually started fighting? What's going on?"

"Looking at this, some netizens have revealed that it seems that there was a conflict between the two after the recording of the singer."

"What's the conflict? Didn't you see that it was Jiang Yu who started the fight in the video? Teacher Hu was about to leave, and he just rushed up and punched her. It's clearly him who started it!"

"That's right, Jiang Yu is such a scoundrel! Teacher Hu was just walking away, and he rushed up and started beating her up. Who does he think he is?"

"That's right. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're famous now? It's a good thing that Teacher Hu didn't call the police to arrest him."

"You can't say that. I don't think Jiang Yu is such a violent and impulsive person. Didn't you see what Hu Tian and Jiang Yu said in the video? The way Hu Tian's mouth moved at the end seemed to indicate he had said something that touched Jiang Yu's bottom line."

"Yeah, there must be something fishy going on here. They cut off the beginning and the end of a video, and for no apparent reason, they're talking about our brother here."

……

Suddenly, the online discussion about this video was abuzz. Hu Tian's fans, in particular, were furiously cursing and accusing Jiang Yu of violence, a diva, lacking manners, and a lack of respect for his elders. Meanwhile, some of Jiang Yu's fans, especially the "little black babies," who usually played memes for him, finally saw him recover from the crisis of his downfall and could resume their memes.

As a result, now, because of a video without any context, these people have started to attack their brother again. In an instant, the little black babies turned into loyal guards and began to defend their brother.

Again, when brother is not in trouble, we are his biggest trouble. When brother is in trouble, we are his strongest support!
"Are you guys mistaken? I have no problem with you calling my brother a philanderer or a scumbag, but you're saying he's a big shot, a violent person, and has no manners? Haha, go watch those old videos of my brother yourself. When it rained at the party, the staff brought him an umbrella, but he always gave it to the senior next to him first. When the hostess fell on the stage to receive an award, he was the first to help her. Just based on this video, you're smearing my brother like that?"

"That's right, you can say our brother is a scumbag and a playboy, but I absolutely don't believe anything else!"

"This video was obviously taken by fans outside. There is no reason at all. From the beginning, Hu Tian and my brother were talking. Hu Tian must have said something that angered my brother and caused him to take action."

"It must be because Hu Tian said something extreme, otherwise my brother would never be so impulsive. There are so many fans outside, isn't he asking for trouble if he acts so impulsively? There must be something fishy going on here."

"Don't be afraid, brother. The little haters will always believe in you. Just because you've let us blackmail you for six years and didn't sue us like those celebrities, we support you. There must be something hidden here!"

……

This incident was very popular, and it directly rushed to the top of the trending search list on major social platforms. In just half an hour, the number of likes and reposts reached hundreds of thousands.

Hu Tian, ​​after his assistant had applied the medicine, took out his phone and saw the trending search. He had expected this to become a trending search, as there were so many people there.

After watching this video and some comments online, I found that many people are defending him, saying that Jiang Yu took the initiative to hit people, is a violent person, and has no manners.

Seeing this scene, Hu Tian was immediately happy, but as soon as he moved, his face felt a little painful, making him grimace.

Looking at his phone, Hu Tian snorted coldly: "Humph! Jiang Yu, I'm going to kill you this time!"

He had anticipated the current situation when he was in the car. As long as public opinion prevailed on his side, he would kill Jiang Yu!
Isn't he very cool?

Isn't he very arrogant?
I'll add fuel to the fire, let you be arrogant and act like a boss!
Hu Tian's eyes were filled with resentment and coldness. This time, he wanted Jiang Yu dead! He wanted to overwhelm him with public opinion!

As someone who was already in the same industry, he knew very well how powerful online public opinion was. He couldn't take this punch in vain!
Hu Tian immediately edited a text message on Weibo, posted two pictures of his injuries, and then published them directly.

"Some people have no manners or upbringing. I give them good advice, trying to help them avoid detours, but they won't listen. Didn't your parents teach you what courtesy is? What humility is? What respect is? Haha, this time I've really seen it. Some celebrities have bad tempers when they become famous. They have mothers who gave birth to them but not mothers who raised them. From now on, I won't dare give these young people advice anymore..."

The post contained only about 300 to 400 words, plus two pictures of Hu Tian's own facial injuries. He portrayed himself as the victim, saying he had intended to offer Jiang Yu some advice, but Jiang Yu, being arrogant, refused to accept it and even hit him in anger.

This incident was already a hot topic, and the moment Hu Tian's Weibo post came out, it instantly went viral, becoming a trending topic. When everyone saw the injuries on Hu Tian's face—though not too serious, the bruises were clearly visible—and the pair of tissues he had used to stop the nosebleed, his perfect identity as a victim was instantly established. Even with his written content and the image he had given people before, he was still a passionate, gentle, and caring senior.

As soon as he posted this message, it instantly aroused the sympathy of his fans, and made them even more angry about Jiang Yu's behavior. Even some passers-by, after seeing his Weibo message, felt that Hu Tian was a victim, and that this was exactly what Hu Tian said.

After all, Jiang Yu had been exposed as a scumbag before, and this incident instantly brought back everyone's memories. All of a sudden, everyone's impression of Jiang Yu, which had already changed, became worse again.

A scumbag, an artist whose reputation has collapsed, and a superstar who has always had many fans, is young, gentle, is known as a lovesick man, and is very good at taking care of young people in some programs. Who is more credible?

Many people already felt that this incident was Jiang Yu's fault, and Hu Tian was a victim. Furthermore, Hu Tian, ​​despite past grudges and their identities and past grudges, offered Jiang Yu some advice, hoping to help him avoid some detours. However, Jiang Yu refused to accept the advice and even resorted to physical violence, either out of frustration with Hu Tian or because of their past grudges.

Hu Tian's Weibo message instantly made many people support him.

"Hu Tian posted a message!"

"Hu Tian is injured!"

"Hu Tian is the victim!"

"Hu Tianren is really nice!"

……

In a short period of time, Hu Tian posted a message in response to the news of being beaten by Jiang Yu, and it instantly became a hot topic.

"Wow! I feel so sorry for Teacher Hu. Jiang Yu is so ungrateful. Teacher Hu kindly gave him advice, and not only did he not accept it, he actually hit me. He's just as uneducated as Teacher Hu said."

"Exactly. If I had a senior like Teacher Hu to guide me at work, I wouldn't know how happy I would be. But Jiang Yu, this guy, even hit people!"

"The violent Jiang Yu, as expected, is a scumbag with bad character. I really don't know what Su Muwan and the others like about this guy. I really don't think he can be as good as Teacher Hu."

"Jiang Yu apologizes! Apologize to Teacher Hu!"

"That's right, apologize and get out of the entertainment industry. People like you don't deserve to be in the entertainment industry!"

"Haha, what a scumbag! He's also a violent maniac with no manners and no respect for his elders. He's truly a jerk who was born of a mother but not raised by her!"

"Just like that, it's clear that Jiang Yu's parents didn't raise him well. I don't know how they raised him. Haha, I won't listen to this guy's songs anymore!"

"Like parents, like children. Jiang Yu's behavior shows it, and his parents are probably the same. Trash Jiang Yu, get out of the entertainment industry!"

……

On Hu Tian's side, his agent, who had just dealt with the matter, originally thought that he had talked to the company and asked them to suppress the heat if the hot search became popular and have them remove the hot search as soon as possible.

After all, they were not in the right in this matter.

As expected, he saw the trending search on Weibo right after he finished the call. The video of Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's incident had already been posted. He also took a look and saw that the public opinion was relatively favorable to Hu Tian.

But he knew very well that the video was shot by a netizen, a fan outside the fence, and it didn't capture the whole process. Furthermore, from the online comments, he saw that someone had caught Hu Tian and Jiang Yu talking, and was saying that something inappropriate had happened between them that had prompted Jiang Yu to take action.

The agent knew that this matter couldn't be allowed to spread further, even if public opinion was currently favorable to them. He also didn't know if Jiang Yu's temporary assistant had recorded Hu Tian's final words that angered Jiang Yu when he secretly filmed Jiang Yu and Sun Leyan.

He didn't dare to gamble, because once this matter was exposed, the situation would probably be reversed.

So he asked the company to prepare to suppress the trending searches, but when he returned to the house and turned on his mobile phone, he saw the message Hu Tian had just sent, and the trending searches exploded again.

The agent was stunned, and his expression turned a little cold the next moment. He stood up and looked at his friend, suppressing the anger and resentment in his heart, and gritted his teeth and left.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"You know the whole story clearly. Don't you know how outrageous your words were? Besides, Jiang Yu's temporary assistant has been filming the entire time. If your words were to get out, the public opinion will backfire as badly as it favors you now. Don't you know that?!"

The agent's voice was a little loud, he was really angry. His friend was easily swayed by emotions. He lost face today, and this guy lost control again!

Hu Tian frowned slightly and retorted directly: "I went too far? I was just telling the truth. Besides, whether that person took the photo or not is a question. If she did, she would have posted it long ago."

Perhaps realizing that his words were a bit harsh and that they conflicted with his best friend, Hu Tian calmed down a little and continued speaking.

"Old Xie, I know what you're worried about. Look, everything is fine now. Public opinion is on my side. This time, Jiang Yu will definitely die!"

"and……"

Hu Tian's eyes flashed coldly: "Do you think other companies would be willing to give up such a good opportunity to suppress Jiang Yu, or even crush him to death?"

Hearing Hu Tian's words, Xie Qiang's eyes flickered slightly.

Yes, would other companies give up such an opportunity?

In the entertainment industry, a world of fame and fortune, everyone except oneself is a competitor. Jiang Yu's current situation is like this: after his reputation collapsed, he managed to turn things around and become even more popular than before.

Since so many brands officially announced their partnerships with Jiang Yu, his commercial value has skyrocketed, and he's secured numerous top luxury endorsements. If Jiang Yu is well-fed, then others will be left hungry. Now that Jiang Yu is in trouble, will other people or companies miss this opportunity to destroy him?
Just like when Jiang Yu's reputation collapsed, there were many enemies secretly fanning the flames. When Jiang Yu got into trouble, so many brands announced the termination of their contracts, but they had supported many artists. Even many artists in the industry took their careers to the next level thanks to the resources lost from Jiang Yu.

The entertainment industry's pie is so small, but there are so many artists and limited resources. If one person eats their fill, the others will go hungry.

Judging from the current online public opinion, Jiang Yu has been criticized badly. Will other companies miss such a great opportunity?
Xie Qiang hesitated. If that were the case, with other companies adding fuel to the fire, Jiang Yu might be eliminated with overwhelming force. Even if the assistant had the video, it wouldn't be released yet. If they took the initiative and crushed Jiang Yu, even if it did, with so many people involved, it might be difficult to reverse the situation.

Xie Qiang gritted his teeth and sat down, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then do it resolutely!"

He picked up his phone, sent another message to someone at the company, and began to change his strategy.

Hu Tian's eyes were filled with coldness and resentment: "Jiang Yu, I want to see how you can turn things around this time!"

……

As Hu Tian expected, many artists and companies in the industry were still watching and watching the situation at first. But when they saw Hu Tian's Weibo post and saw that public opinion began to tilt towards Hu Tian, ​​they realized something.

Warner Chu Shaoyang's side.

At this moment, he was looking at the hot searches on the Internet, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

"Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu, you hit someone in public and got exposed. Tsk tsk, you just asked for it yourself."

This situation was a perfect opportunity to kill Jiang Yu. Chu Shaoyang looked at the trending searches and public opinion online, which were extremely unfavorable to Jiang Yu. In the video, Jiang Yu was seen beating someone in public, and he was the first to strike. Hu Tian's Weibo post also broke the news, completely pushing Jiang Yu into the villain's shoes.

Although Chu Shaoyang knew in his heart that there was probably some trickery and hidden secrets that had not been revealed, how could he miss such a good opportunity to target Jiang Yu?
He had wanted to deal with Jiang Yu before, but he couldn't find the opportunity. Now, isn't it right at his doorstep?
Chu Shaoyang immediately sent a message to the people at the company: "Did you see the trending searches? Jiang Yu and Hu Tian, ​​add fuel to the fire. This time, I'm going to get Jiang Yu out of here completely. Even if I can't kill him, I'm going to make sure he gets a skin off. Get him out of the entertainment industry completely!"

Aren't you awesome?
Aren’t you trying to snatch Yang Xue from me?

Don’t you want to continue to stay in the entertainment industry and make money?

This time I will definitely not let you off easily!

It wasn't just Chu Shaoyang. Fengtian Entertainment's CEO Liu had also noticed the online buzz. Looking at the trending searches online, CEO Liu frowned slightly.

In his impression, Jiang Yu doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person?

Even before, although Jiang Yu became famous at a young age, everyone who had come into contact with him knew that this young man was very polite. Moreover, in this case, he was the first to hit someone, which didn't seem like something Jiang Yu would do.

"Is there any other hidden secret?"

At the beginning of the video, it seemed that Hu Tian was talking to Jiang Yu. At the end, Hu Tian said something and Jiang Yu's expression immediately changed. He rushed up and punched Hu Tian.

What did you say?
This video was taken by a netizen through the fence. You can only see the fighting, and no one knows what is said.

However, this video is extremely unfavorable to Jiang Yu. In addition, Hu Tian took the initiative on Weibo and put himself in the position of victim. This situation is very unfavorable to Jiang Yu.

Mr. Liu was thinking that there might be some hidden secrets that hadn't been revealed. In his impression, Jiang Yu would never act without reason.

unless……

Suddenly Mr. Liu thought of something, thought of Jiang Yu's life experience, and thought of his taboos.

"Could it be..."

Mr. Liu suddenly felt that if this was true, Hu Tian deserved to be beaten.

At this moment, Li Qiang called. As soon as Mr. Liu answered the phone, he heard Li Qiang's excited voice on the other end of the phone.

"Boss Liu! Boss Liu! Did you see the trending searches? Something happened to Jiang Yu. He beat someone up in public, including Hu Tian. It's trending all over the place now!"

"Hu Tian even posted on Weibo. Public opinion is now one-sided. Jiang Yu is being criticized to death. It feels like he's finished this time!"

"Boss Liu, why don't we give him a push, add fuel to the fire, and finish him off completely?"

Li Qiang's tone was a little excited, but also a little cold.

"Even if he doesn't die this time, he'll be in big trouble. And with all this negative news, I have a feeling those brands are going to start terminating contracts again, haha."

When Mr. Liu heard what Li Qiang said, he seemed to be silent. He seemed to be thinking about whether to take action, whether to secretly add fuel to the fire, and completely get rid of Jiang Yu this time?
Now Jiang Yu is no longer an employee of their company. And his career is getting better and better. Every time he sees Jiang Yu doing so well, Mr. Liu feels a little regretful and painful.

Even because of Jiang Yu's development, several of the resources and endorsements that originally belonged to their company chose Jiang Yu.

It can be said that Jiang Yu, who left first, has somewhat blocked their company's financial path and is their company's rival. Not only theirs, but also other companies and other artists in the industry.

This is also the reason why Mr. Liu chose to destroy Jiang Yu when he saw that he could not keep him, but he failed at that time.

But now, it seems that another opportunity has come to them, and it is an opportunity presented by Jiang Yu himself.

but……

Mr. Liu was still a little hesitant. This matter was too strange. There must be something hidden behind it. What if it failed?

But Li Qiang's voice came back on the line: "Mr. Liu, don't hesitate. I see some companies are already taking action. Let's add fuel to the fire and find some online influencers to control the situation. The public opinion is so serious this time that Jiang Yu will have a hard time recovering. If he falls, maybe we can get back the resources he lost before."

After hearing what Li Qiang said, Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Then find some internet trolls to set the tone."

……

At this moment, many companies in the industry have begun to take action.

Such a good opportunity, and public opinion seems to be one-sided. Isn’t Jiang Yu giving it away for free?

He was a piece of fat meat right now, and he hadn't even signed a contract with a company. As a self-employed person, he had no chance to deal with these things. Now, as long as Jiang Yu was killed, the resources flowing out of his hands could be divided up again, and they could have enough to eat again.

The entertainment industry is so cruel. When you see an artist is in trouble, everyone wants to kick him when he is down. Only when you fall will I have a greater chance of getting up.

Especially for someone as popular as Jiang Yu, who has been so popular recently and has so many resources at his disposal, many people in the industry are eyeing him. Now that there is such a good opportunity, who would be willing to let it go?
As for Haobai Toothpaste, I was also confused when I saw the hot searches and public opinions online.

No way, why is Jiang Yu so impulsive and hits someone in public!
This……

They just invited Jiang Yu to be their spokesperson not long ago. You can even date and flirt with girls. After all, your playboy persona has already been established, so they don't have to worry about your reputation being ruined.

But now, you hit someone in public, which is a bad situation. And it has been exposed, and public opinion is one-sided. I am afraid that this will be a disaster.

"Boss, what should we do? Should we terminate the contract?"

The boss of Haobai Toothpaste was also hesitant. He repeatedly watched the video that was released online, and thought about how he interacted with Jiang Yu when Jiang Yu was the spokesperson for the company.

It seems that this young man is not such an impulsive person. It is true that he is fickle, but Jiang Yu does not give him the impression that he is someone who would do such a thing.

Hit someone?

Looking at the video, it seems that Hu Tian said something to Jiang Yu. Is there some other hidden secret?

Thinking of this, the owner of Haobai Toothpaste hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Wait a moment and see what happens."

The secretary hesitated. After all, public opinion was very negative towards Jiang Yu. As the spokesperson for their white toothpaste, Jiang Yu's situation would affect their brand image and, in more serious cases, the company's image and stock price.

But seeing the boss say this, the secretary didn't say much.

In fact, she also felt that something was wrong with this matter. Looking at the video, it seemed that Hu Tian said something that led Jiang Yu to take action.

But it is unknown what was said and why it made Jiang Yu so angry that he did not hesitate to hit someone in public.
