How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 168 The situation is serious
Now, the incident of Jiang Yu beating Hu Tian continues to ferment. A Weibo post from Hu Tian directly pushed Jiang Yu to the side of the villain, and he completely became a victim.

Online, public opinion is overwhelmingly in Hu Tian's favor. Many people, after watching the video, are cursing Jiang Yu. The most vocal critics are Hu Tian's fans. Their idol, so kind, was assaulted by Jiang Yu. Furthermore, the idol had kindly offered Jiang Yu some advice on Weibo, but Jiang Yu, not only didn't appreciate it, but also became furious and, because of a previous grudge, attacked his idol.

All of a sudden, Hu Tian’s fans couldn’t stand it anymore and started to accuse and scold Jiang Yu online, and even went to Jiang Yu’s Weibo to scold him.

"An artist without quality and upbringing has no right to stay in the entertainment industry. It's good of Mr. Hu not to pursue the matter, but Jiang Yu, on the other hand, has yet to respond."

"That's right, it's just like what Teacher Hu said, a guy with no manners at all, born of a mother but not raised by her."

"With Jiang Yu's character, you can imagine what kind of people his family and parents are like. Haha, it's true that if they are not from the same family, they will not marry."

"It's obvious that his parents didn't teach him well when he was little. Such a scumbag doesn't deserve to be in the entertainment industry. Get out of here!"

……

Besides Hu Tian's numerous fans, there were also numerous insider influencers who, seeing the situation, were ready to take advantage of the situation and hired a network of "trolls" to stir up trouble. Even major marketing accounts, now paid, began to smear Jiang Yu.

Since Jiang Yu's beating of Hu Tian, ​​the smear campaign has begun. Previous programs aired with headlines like "It turns out there's a trace of everything" and "Jiang Yu's quality is really poor," have started fabricating accusations against Jiang Yu. Even some of his on-air actions, which were clearly harmless, have now been picked up by these marketing accounts and used to smear him. Even some of Jiang Yu's on-air jokes, which everyone previously thought were funny and these marketing accounts had even capitalized on, have now been turned against him.

"Jiang Yu is so good!"

"It turns out that everything Jiang Yu does has a traceable path!"

"The character of a scumbag is just bad!"

"Jiang Yu's quality is so poor!"

"Jiang Yu is being rude!"

……

In a short period of time, it seemed that because of Hu Tian's incident, Jiang Yu's gradually improving reputation and image seemed to collapse in an instant. It was as if at this moment, Jiang Yu was back to the time when his reputation had just collapsed, and was once again facing the situation of being blacklisted by the entire network.

Even at this moment, the little black guys still firmly believe in and support their brother, but two fists cannot beat four hands, and their support seems so insignificant.

"Damn it! You're trying to blackmail our brother again, right? That's not what you said when you were trying to take advantage of my brother's popularity."

"That's right, it's disgusting. Now seeing a video like this that slanders my brother for no apparent reason, it's really infuriating!"

"Damn it! Come on, come on! What kind of scenes hasn't our little Heizi seen? Isn't it just bullying my brother? Come on, I'm going to fight you guys today!"

"Before my brother responds and reveals the reason, I firmly support him!"

"That's it? Our brother survived the entire online blackmail when his reputation collapsed, and now it's happening again, huh? It's obvious that there are rivals and some trolls hired by other entertainment companies stirring up trouble here. There's no way our brother will be defeated by you!"

……

At this moment, the brands that had previously sought Jiang Yu as their spokesperson were also gradually seeing the subsequent news. In particular, it seemed as if Jiang Yu had returned to the situation he was facing during his initial scandal, when he was being blacklisted online. Furthermore, the leaked video this time was very unfavorable to Jiang Yu. It could even be said that, judging by the video, Jiang Yu was completely wrong.

The key point is that the current situation is the most painful for the brand.

Jiang Yu had just been invited to be the spokesperson, and he had already gotten into trouble. If you were exposed for dating or some gossip, they would think it would be acceptable, and even netizens would be able to accept it, and it wouldn't have led to the current situation of being blacklisted by the entire network. After all, everyone knows your personality as a playboy and a romantic genius, and it has even been established.

But now, you chose to hit someone, and the video that was exposed showed that you, Jiang Yu, were the first to attack.

Now, the brands are getting a little restless.

I want to terminate the contract, but I'm a little hesitant.

After all, Jiang Yu had experienced this kind of online blackmail before. The last time his reputation was exposed, everyone thought he was doomed and couldn't make it, so they all chose to terminate their contracts. But who would have thought that Jiang Yu would pull through and become even more popular? They even took the initiative to contact him for cooperation.

If we run away now at the slightest sign of trouble, wouldn’t that be a bit too impulsive?

Jiang Yu hadn't spoken yet, and even watching the video, they felt as if there was something hidden that hadn't been revealed. What had Hu Tian and Jiang Yu talked about? What had Hu Tian said that had angered Jiang Yu enough to hit him?

All of this seemed to be unknown, and Jiang Yu hadn't responded yet. Now Jiang Yu was being blacklisted by the entire Internet, and public opinion was turning to Hu Tian's side so quickly, there must be someone behind this who was fanning the flames.

The brands are very clear about this, and for a moment, they are also hesitant.

“Let’s wait and see.”

With the experience from last time, they did not impulsively choose to terminate the contract directly this time. They waited and let the bullet fly for a while and see how it goes.

If the contract is terminated now and the situation is reversed as before, wouldn't they be like fools?
When the time comes, I will ask Jiang Yu to be the spokesperson. I don’t know whether I can get him to be the spokesperson or not. Even if I do, the price will probably be different from the previous endorsement price.

Now, major brands are also waiting and watching.

……

At this moment, on Xiaolin's side, the little girl went to wash up after returning home.

As a result, when I was lying on the bed and took out my mobile phone, I saw that the video of Teacher Jiang Yu beating people was exposed and even became a hot topic. The popularity exploded!

and……

Xiao Lin looked at the trending searches, the public opinion online, and Hu Tianfa's Weibo post, and the little girl suddenly became angry.

"Damn it! How could they do this? They don't even know the truth of the matter and yet they say such nonsense to smear Teacher Jiang Yu!"

She was beside Teacher Jiang Yu and heard Hu Tian's words throughout the whole process. She really felt that Hu Tian's last words were too much. If you have a grudge with Teacher Jiang Yu, that's fine, but cursing Teacher Jiang Yu's parents is something no one can tolerate.

Even if it happened to her, Xiao Lin felt that if someone said this or scolded her parents like this, she would definitely slap them!
How abominable!

"Really? Hu Tian is still pretending. It's obviously him who went too far. I used to think he was a nice guy, but now it seems so disgusting!"

Xiao Lin curled her lips and looked at Teacher Jiang Yu who was now being blackened by the entire Internet. The little girl immediately responded to some comments that slandered Jiang Yu.

"That's not the case. You don't understand the whole story at all. It was Hu Tian who started the verbal abuse, and even cursed Teacher Jiang Yu's parents. Teacher Jiang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he started the verbal abuse!"

"Don't listen to Hu Tian's nonsense. He's just pretending to be a victim. He was the one who cursed Teacher Jiang Yu's parents. If it were you, would you have tolerated it?"

As a result, no one believed what Xiao Lin said at all. Now because Hu Tian took the initiative and occupied the upper hand, and the internet trolls and marketing accounts were leading the rhythm, everyone had a preconceived notion that Jiang Yu was disrespectful to his predecessors and had no manners, and no one believed what Xiao Lin said.

"Haha, you're really funny, right? What do you say?"

"Another brainless fan of Jiang Yu. Such an uneducated scumbag actually has so many fans defending him. I'm disgusted."

"If you say so, then so? From the video I saw, he was the one who started the fight. Teacher Hu said he wanted to give Jiang Yu some advice, but Jiang Yu was too proud to listen. He even hit Teacher Hu because of a previous incident. So, don't wash here anymore."

"That's right, beautiful lady, how much is this? Give me a way, I also want to make some pocket money."

……

Xiao Lin looked at these replies, her face almost tearing up with anxiety. Why didn't these people believe what she said? She was right next to Teacher Jiang Yu at the time, and she was even secretly recording Teacher Jiang Yu and Teacher Le Yan...

and many more……

Yes! Video!

I even have a video!

The girl immediately opened her phone's photo album. The first thing she saw was a video. She had saved a lot of videos and photos at the scene today. The first one was the last video she recorded of sending Jiang Yu and the others out. When a conflict broke out, she immediately turned off the video to help Jiang Yu.

The last video wasn't long, only about four minutes. Xiaolin scrolled forward bit by bit, afraid of missing anything. She found the scene of Teacher Jiang Yu and the others standing there waiting for the bus. She had secretly filmed it. Behind Sun Leyan's figure was Jiang Yu's handsome profile. She even secretly made a "yeah" gesture.

Xiao Lin immediately stopped dragging the video when he saw this. He looked at the video. The recording was quite clear. He could hear the voices of Jiang Yu and Hu Tian talking. Hu Tian was sarcastic from beginning to end. Even when he was recording Jiang Yu, Hu Tian was right next to him, so he recorded Hu Tian as well.

The little girl stared at the video she had shot, watching the progress bar move forward little by little. When she saw Hu Tian walking away, her last sentence, "He has no manners, he was born by a mother but not raised by one," was also recorded. Although she thought Hu Tian turned around and prepared to leave, the voice was a little low, but she could still hear it.

The next moment, Jiang Yu rushed forward in the screen, followed by Xiao Lin and Sun Leyan's exclamations. The screen shook for a moment, and someone rushed forward to pull people away. The video ended here.

When Kobayashi saw this video and saw what he had filmed, he immediately felt like he had found the key evidence.

These people, really, don't know the truth and are here to slander Teacher Jiang Yu. Isn't it just to get evidence? I have it here too!
But the little girl suddenly thought of something. She was an employee of Mango TV. Would it be inappropriate for her to get involved like this?
After hesitating for a moment, the girl dialed the number of Producer Xu Ya. During her weekdays at work, she had the most contact with Producer Xu, and at this moment she subconsciously thought of Producer Xu.

At this moment, Xu Ya was driving. When she received Xiao Lin's call, Xu Ya was a little surprised.

"Hey Xiaolin, what's wrong?"

"Sister Xu Ya, have you seen the trending searches online? Hu Tian is so pretentious. He's lying and distorting the truth. It was clearly him who cursed Teacher Jiang Yu first..."

Xu Ya naturally knew about this. She had just seen the online news while waiting at the traffic light. It could even be said that the current public opinion was very negative towards Jiang Yu. Hu Tian was really calculating. He posted on Weibo immediately, positioning himself as the victim and pushing Jiang Yu into the position of villain.

And judging by the current level of hype and the direction of public opinion, it's clear someone is behind this, fanning the flames and taking advantage of the situation. This is a very common occurrence in the entertainment industry, especially for top-tier artists like Jiang Yu. There are countless people watching them, and if they get the chance, they'll hold on tight. Even if they can't kill you, they'll at least disgust you, make you lose a layer of skin, and cause you trouble. Xu Ya has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has a clear understanding of this world of fame and fortune.

It is definitely impossible that Hu Tian and his team are the only ones behind this matter.

At this time, Xiao Lin spoke again, "Sister Xu Ya, I have a video here of Hu Tian scolding Teacher Jiang Yu. Should I send it out to prove Teacher Jiang Yu's innocence and expose Hu Tian's ugly face?"

She was planning to send it out directly, but when she thought about the fact that she was an employee of Mango TV and Hu Tian and Jiang Yu were both guests of "Singer" at the moment, would it bring some unnecessary trouble to the station if she sent it out so rashly?
Although she couldn't stand Hu Tian's actions, she still had some rationality.

Xu Ya's heart trembled: "Do you have the complete video?"

"Well, I was thinking of secretly filming Teacher Jiang Yu and Teacher Le Yan, and I accidentally recorded it..."

Xiaolin's voice was a little cautious.

Xu Ya pressed again, feeling uneasy. "Are you sure you filmed everything? Did you film the entire process of Hu Tian scolding Jiang Yu?"

"Yeah! I took pictures of it all."

Xu Ya already had an idea in mind, and immediately said to Xiao Lin: "Xiao Lin, send me the video first, and leave this matter to me."

"Ok!"

Xiao Lin immediately sent the video to Xu Ya's phone, and watched it while driving. Xu Ya skipped the unnecessary part and went straight to the part about Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. From the video, you can see that Hu Tian was constantly making sarcastic remarks against Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu also responded in an orderly manner. The two of them had a strong smell of gunpowder.

This wasn't a big deal. After all, the two had a grudge, so it was normal for their exchanges to be heated. Furthermore, it was Hu Tian who started it all, targeting Jiang Yu first.

When Xu Ya saw the end and heard Hu Tian scolding Jiang Yu, she also frowned.

This guy is really going too far!
She was filled with rage, and if she were there, she would have slapped him.

Xu Ya immediately forwarded the video to a friend on WeChat: "Edit the video and keep only the last minute and a half. Then find someone to control the online public opinion."

A question mark came from the other side.

"Hey dear, why are you meddling in Jiang Yu's affairs?"

Xu Ya replied directly to the voice message: "Don't ask so many questions. This happened at the station, and the person was wrongly accused. They must be cleared of all charges."

"Okay, just leave it to me."

On Xiao Lin's side, after sending the video to Xu Ya, he was also paying attention to the news online.

The little girl saw that so many people were slandering Teacher Jiang Yu, and wanted to speak up for Teacher Jiang Yu, but no one cared, and no one was even willing to believe her.

"I hope Sister Xu Ya can clear Teacher Jiang Yu's name."

Xiao Lin felt sick when he thought of Hu Tian's hypocritical appearance. Really, he had never realized before how annoying and hateful he was. No wonder Su Muwan had been unsuccessful in pursuing him for so long, and no wonder Su Muwan chose Jiang Yu.

At this moment, Su Muwan, who had just returned to the hotel to rest after attending an event, became excited the moment she saw the hot search.

Jiang Yu hit someone?

After watching the video, Su Muwan frowned.

In her impression, Jiang Yu is not such an impulsive person. There must be something hidden behind this matter.

But in the current situation, this public opinion is very bad for Jiang Yu.

Su Muwan immediately called Sister Qian.

"Sister Qian, did you see the trending search?"

Sister Qian had just come back and saw the trending search, and was about to send a message to Su Muwan when she received a call from Jiang Yu.

"I see. I don't think this matter is that simple. With such a high level of attention and public opinion so quickly turning one-sided, there must be someone taking advantage of the situation, and there's more than one party involved."

Although Sister Qian didn't like Jiang Yu very much and was still brooding over the fact that Jiang Yu had hurt Su Muwan, she had recently improved her opinion of Jiang Yu, but only in terms of his character and talent. When it came to his relationship, Sister Qian still felt that he was too fickle.

Even so, Sister Qian's first reaction when she saw the trending search was that there was something fishy going on. The leaked video was clearly unfinished, and it was taken by a passerby fan. From such a distance, it was unknown what Jiang Yu and Hu Tian had said.

This is the key and the reason why Jiang Yu took action.

Although Jiang Yu is a playboy, Sister Qian still approves of his good character.

Su Muwan directly told Sister Qian, "Talk to the company and try to suppress the online hype and keep public opinion to a minimum."

She knew very well that Jiang Yu had a reason for doing this, and that reason must be because Hu Tian had touched Jiang Yu's bottom line. Otherwise, with Jiang Yu's character, he would never hit someone in public.

Now Jiang Yu has no team and no company. He is alone and he definitely cannot handle this situation.

Sister Qian was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

She sighed helplessly in her heart and smiled bitterly. This girl kept telling her that she had let it go. Is this what she called letting it go?
After Su Muwan finished her call with Sister Qian, she immediately called Jiang Yu. The call rang for a long time before it was connected.

"What's wrong with you? What are you doing?"

Su Muwan was a little nervous when she saw that Jiang Yu took so long to answer the phone, fearing that he would do something bad after seeing the trending searches and public opinion online.

Jiang Yu was wearing pajamas, wiping his hair with a towel while answering the phone.

"Nothing, I was just taking a shower."

Hearing this, Su Muwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on between you and Hu Tian?"

When Jiang Yu heard Su Muwan ask this question, he also knew why she called. While he was on speakerphone, he opened Weibo and took a look. Sure enough, the trending searches had already exploded. He opened the comments section and saw that everyone was cursing him.

Jiang Yu sneered: "This guy is still pretending."

He didn't rush to answer Su Muwan's question, but said: "He pursued you all these years, and it was really the right decision for you not to agree. This guy is just a hypocrite."

"I never thought of agreeing to it. I know what he's like. We're in the same circle, and I've heard a lot about him."

Jiang Yu smiled, and Su Muwan continued to ask, "What's going on?"

"What else can I do? Because of you, he can't stand me. He's always being sarcastic. I don't think it's a big deal, but..."

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, as if he could still recall the anger that surged from his heart at that moment. It was an untouchable taboo that was the lingering regret of his original body that had not dissipated.

Su Muwan was still waiting for Jiang Yu's answer, but the next moment, Jiang Yu said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Su Muwan saw this and probably guessed something, her eyes turned slightly colder. She knew that what Jiang Yu was reluctant to talk about was usually the deepest pain in his heart.

If Hu Tianzhen mentioned this, Su Muwan would have felt that the punch Jiang Yu gave him was a light one.

"Don't look at those things online. If you look at them, you'll see that they're targeting you, using specially hired trolls and marketing accounts to manipulate the situation. I'll help you deal with this."

Su Muwan was worried that Jiang Yu was influenced by the online comments and current public opinion, so she spoke up to remind him.

"Well, I know."

"Okay. By the way, Director Hu just posted the location of the next stop for the singing while walking video in the group chat. It's in Chengdu, your hometown."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu was slightly stunned. The next recording location is his hometown?
Sure enough, Jiang Yu was a little dazed when he saw the message Director Hu just sent in the WeChat group.

Su Muwan was actually a little surprised when she saw the recording location of this station.

Jiang Yu's hometown is in Chengdu, and the recording location this time really surprised her.

"Well, see you the day after tomorrow."

"See you the day after tomorrow."

The recording location for the fourth stop of "Walking and Singing" has been confirmed. The production team must have already made arrangements in Chengdu and are waiting for the guests to go there. This recording will be the day after tomorrow. Now that the recording of "Walking and Singing" has passed the halfway point, after this stop, there are only two more stops left.

At this moment, on the Internet, the video that Xiao Lin sent to Xu Ya was leaked after the unimportant content in the front was cut out, and it quickly became a hot topic.
