How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 169: Support from Ex-Girlfriends

After Xu Ya sent the video to her friends, they quickly responded according to Xu Ya's instructions, editing out the unimportant parts of the video. They then found many big Vs they knew and some marketing accounts to start posting videos to reveal the truth.

This incident had already had a huge impact tonight, and the popularity was exploding. As soon as this video was released, some big Vs and marketing accounts started to promote it, and instantly the video shot by Xiaolin became a trending search.

"So this is the truth!"

"The truth behind Jiang Yu's beating!"

"Hu Tian deserves it!"

……

At this moment, the hot search was pushed to the top, and the popularity skyrocketed. Suddenly, when everyone saw this video that had just been released, they were stunned.

This video has a different perspective than the previously exposed video of Jiang Yu assaulting someone. That video's angle clearly showed it was filmed by fans on the periphery. This video, with its close-up angle, was clearly filmed by someone present. Being so close to Jiang Yu and the others, it's clear they were staff members. It's unclear if they were from the production team or another artist's staff.

But now, no one cares about this, and their attention is focused on the content of the video.

This video was shot very clearly. Jiang Yu and Hu Tian were talking to each other. In the video, Hu Tian was the first to target Jiang Yu with words in a sarcastic tone. Everyone could hear it clearly.

Everyone heard the two people's words and felt that the atmosphere was full of tension. But it was nothing. Everyone knew the relationship between Hu Tian and Jiang Yu very well. The two did not get along. Even in the show "Singer", the previous episode aired, Hu Tian and Jiang Yu were full of tension.

However, the next moment, when everyone heard that Hu Tian became angry and embarrassed after being retorted by Jiang Yu, and cursed out "You have no manners, you are a bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by her", everyone frowned.

This statement is truly excessive. It's fine for the two of you to argue with each other, but insulting someone's mother and mentioning their parents is wrong on your part, Hu Tian. And judging by the video, it seems like you, Hu Tian, ​​were the one stirring up trouble the entire time. You were the one who started it all, hurling sarcastically at Jiang Yu. But Jiang Yu, no pushover, fought back, and you got so angry you couldn't win that you started cursing like that?

And you even curse other people's parents directly?

Just with this one sentence, everyone felt that they would be angry if it happened to them.

"Ah? No way? It turns out Jiang Yu didn't attack Hu Tian for no reason. It's not because of a previous grudge as everyone says."

"Damn it! If I were Jiang Yu, I would beat him harder than him for what Hu Tian said at the end. He dared to scold my family, especially my parents. I will definitely make him know what pain is!"

"Oh my god! Hu Tian really overturned my understanding. Insulting someone else's mother like that is really too much!"

"Woo woo woo, I knew my brother was wronged. I will always support him!"

"No? Jiang Yu was right to hit him? Besides, his words were harsh. What's more, Teacher Hu only cursed, not hit anyone."

"That's right, for such a small matter, he hits someone. His character is really poor. I think he's a violent person, right?"

"Swearing is wrong, but isn't it even more wrong for Jiang Yu to hit someone? Besides, Hu Tian was beaten like that. If we really argue, Jiang Yu should be detained."

……

At this moment, netizens were shocked when they saw the truth.

So this is the reason why Hu Tian was beaten. It was all his own fault. Even after watching this video, combined with Hu Tian's previous Weibo post where he complained first, many people felt that the image Hu Tian had given them in the past had collapsed in an instant.

However, there are still many fans of Hu Tian, ​​as well as some online trolls, who speak for Hu Tian. They think that it is wrong for Jiang Yu to hit someone, and although cursing someone is wrong, it is even more unforgivable for Jiang Yu to hit someone, and he hit Hu Tian so badly. They also said that if the matter is investigated, Jiang Yu will be detained.

At this moment, Jiang Yu also saw this video and immediately thought of the temporary assistant Xu Ya arranged for him. He knew that Xiao Lin had secretly filmed the video and even asked him to take a photo with him.

After seeing this video, Jiang Yu also edited a Weibo post and posted it: "Fake."

These four simple words became a hot topic soon after Jiang Yu posted them on Weibo.

His Weibo followers have exceeded 50 million, and he is very popular now. He is also at the center of today's hot topics. As soon as this Weibo post was released, it became a huge hit.

Four words, seemingly saying nothing, yet seeming to say everything.

"Pretentious? Are you talking about Hu Tian again?"

"Of course. I really didn't expect Hu Tian to be this kind of person. He's the first to complain and pretends to be pitiful to gain sympathy, trying to stir up trouble and discredit Jiang Yu, haha."

"Really? I think that statement was too much. It's fine for you and Jiang Yu to argue with each other, but it's really too much for you, Hu Tian, ​​to curse at Jiang Yu's family."

"Are you kidding me? Is it right for Jiang Yu to hit someone? His beating is even worse, okay?"

"That's right, it's a little wrong for Mr. Hu to curse, but is it right for him to hit people?"

"That's enough. Teacher Hu was just giving him some advice and suggestions, but what about Jiang Yu? He didn't appreciate it at all and even used it against Teacher Hu. I don't think there's anything wrong with what Teacher Hu said. This guy is just uneducated and has no mother to raise him."

……

Because of preconceived notions, many people still support Hu Tian. This includes his fans, a large number of online influencers, and even some casual observers. They all feel that Jiang Yu's assault was wrong, a far more egregious act than verbal abuse. Coupled with the photos of Hu Tian's injuries posted on Weibo, many people believe he is the victim, the one who suffered the most serious injuries.

You, Jiang Yu, were just scolded. Many people even felt that Hu Tian's previous words were indeed some advice to Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu was ungrateful and uncultured.

The internet is full of all kinds of people, and many people are easily misled. Hu Tian's early actions, in particular, led many netizens to assume he was a victim. Besides his fans and online influencers, many casual netizens were also swept up in the initial rhetoric.

Although some people think that Hu Tian's cursing is wrong, they think that although cursing is wrong, it is even more wrong for Jiang Yu to hit him. They even think that Jiang Yu's reaction is a bit too big and too extreme.

"No, I think it's wrong for Hu Tian to curse, but it's even more wrong for you, Jiang Yu, to hit someone."

"That's right. You were obviously right, but when you hit someone, you became wrong."

"Yes, and I think Jiang Yu's reaction is too big. It's just a curse. You can just find Hu Tian and ask him to apologize. Why hit him?"

"That's right, that's a huge reaction. Does this guy have some violent tendencies?"

"Haha, I really laughed. It's wrong for someone to scold you. You can just apologize to him. Why did you insist on hitting him? Do you think you're right?"

……

At this moment, all the major brands saw this video and saw that public opinion had improved. Although many people were still smearing Jiang Yu and absolutely believed that Jiang Yu was wrong, the situation was still better than before.

Moreover, after they saw the video and knew the cause of the incident, they also felt that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Yu's actions.

"What kind of people are these online?"

A brand owner was speechless when he saw those netizens who, after seeing the truth, still felt that Jiang Yu's beating was wrong and that Hu Tian's cursing was better than hitting him. Forget Jiang Yu, if someone dared to curse their parents like that in front of him today, he would definitely do something even more ruthless than Jiang Yu, and it wouldn't be as simple as just punching him.

However, after seeing this video, these brands also felt relieved.

Now that they know the reason, they have a better idea in their hearts and don't need to terminate the contract this time.

Fortunately, I kept my composure and did not issue a termination statement immediately, otherwise I would have suffered losses again.

Although the current public opinion environment is still very unfavorable to Jiang Yu, they can see clearly who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Moreover, there are many people who are tampering with this matter behind the scenes.

Now, they can stabilize themselves a bit, at least they don't have to rush to terminate the contract.

It depends on this battle between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian and the entertainment industry, who will win?

No matter who wins, they won't lose. If Jiang Yu really falls, they can immediately replace him. If they win, they will also make money.

They knew very well that this matter was no longer a simple personal feud between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. Many entertainment industry artists and companies were involved, and many companies wanted to seize this opportunity to get rid of Jiang Yu.

At this moment, on Hu Tian's side, they also saw this exposed video.

Xie Qiang frowned, knowing that the girl must have recorded the video. Sure enough, it was revealed not long after. And judging by the situation, it wasn't the girl who leaked it. It was obvious that someone was systematically helping Jiang Yu, using this video as evidence against him.

"Look, I told you not to post it and not to influence the topic, but now this video has leaked!"

Hu Tian didn't care. He looked at the public opinion on the Internet and handed it to Xie Qiang to read.

"It doesn't matter. In this situation, it's too late for this video to be released. It can only help him restore some of his reputation. Look, most people still support me. The fact that he hit someone is a very important point."

Xie Qiang looked at the comments online. Although the public opinion has reversed somewhat with the exposure of this video, the majority of people still support them.

But he knew that many of these were orchestrated by the "troll army" of major companies, who wanted to use this opportunity to target Jiang Yu. Even if they couldn't kill Jiang Yu this time, they would still make him suffer and cause him trouble.

But now, the result is like this, Xie Qiang can only pray silently, and this matter will be forgotten. If Jiang Yu can get rid of it, or if it can cause trouble for him, then that's fine, but if not, he won't force it.

Because he knew very well that public opinion was a double-edged sword. Now that there were so many people supporting Hu Tian, ​​if something unexpected happened later, the backlash would be very serious.

Hu Tian was too lazy to care. The current situation was very favorable for them. Jiang Yu, haha, if I don't make you lose a layer of skin this time, wouldn't this punch of mine have been in vain?

I found Su Muwan’s WeChat. Now that Jiang Yu has been scolded like this and she is the victim, will her impression of Jiang Yu become worse?

After hesitating for a while, Hu Tian still didn't give up, so he edited a message and sent it.

"Are you there?"

The result was a red exclamation mark, requiring him to add the other party as a friend before sending a message.

Seeing this scene, Hu Tian was stunned. The next moment, his expression became even uglier. The veins on his right hand, which was tightly holding the phone, were slightly bulging.

Su Muwan actually deleted herself!

He clearly remembered that he was still looking at Su Muwan's circle of friends today, but now, she has deleted herself.

For Jiang Yu, he deleted himself?!

Haha! Hu Tian's eyes were even colder at this moment: "Jiang Yu, I will definitely not let you off easily this time!"

……

Chu Shaoyang and Mr. Liu have also seen the video that has been exposed online.

To be honest, they were a little surprised, but not too much. When they first saw the video, they felt there must be something else going on. Jiang Yu must have had a reason for hitting someone. And after all, Hu Tian was in the same industry, so he probably knew something.

However, since this was a good opportunity to target Jiang Yu, they didn't care about any hidden secrets. They decided to strike first and attack Jiang Yu directly. If they could kill him, they would kill him. If not, they would cause trouble for him and make him lose a layer of skin.

They didn't care about the results that had just come out. Furthermore, judging by the current public opinion environment, while there had been some improvement in Jiang Yu's favor, it wasn't much. This was due to their preemptive action, immediately mobilizing their troll army and marketing accounts to influence the situation. With so many people still supporting Hu Tian, ​​it was absolutely wrong for Jiang Yu to hit him. Some even felt that Jiang Yu was a bit too impulsive to hit someone just because of this statement.

Chu Shaoyang sneered: "Haha, Jiang Yu, this time, you will be skinned alive!"

Chu Shaoyang knew that it would be very difficult to completely kill Jiang Yu in this situation. If this video hadn't been exposed, there would still be a chance. But now, after this video was exposed, it would be difficult to completely kill Jiang Yu.

But it didn't matter. Public opinion was still not favorable towards Jiang Yu. This time, if he didn't die, he would be badly hurt. At least, it would be okay to cause him some trouble.

When Mr. Liu saw the video online and heard Hu Tian curse, he finally understood why Jiang Yu was so angry and even went so far as to beat someone up in public.

As Jiang Yu's boss, he and Li Qiang knew Jiang Yu's background. Hu Tian's words undoubtedly touched Jiang Yu's bottom line and touched his taboo.

but……

Now he was not sympathizing with Jiang Yu. Since he had already taken action, he had to do it decisively. After all, this time it was not just their family that took action. Even if they could not kill Jiang Yu, they would at least create more trouble for him.

"Jiang Yu..."

Haha, you can't blame us this time. This is an opportunity you brought upon yourself. If we don't take action, the people from other companies won't let you go either.

……

As for Yang Xue, she had just finished filming and had dinner with Director Jiang and the others and returned to her hotel room to rest. As soon as she opened Weibo, she saw the trending search.

"Ok?"

Yang Xue frowned slightly. Jiang Yu hit someone?
After watching the first video, then looking at Hu Tian’s Weibo post, and the comments online, Yang Xue was a little stunned.

Why would Jiang Yu hit someone for no reason?

When Yang Xue saw the second most searched topic, the video that just revealed the truth of the matter, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her little hand holding the phone exerted a little force.

Hu Tian’s words, “You have no manners, you are a jerk born by a mother but not raised by her,” echoed in her mind, making Yang Xue’s expression increasingly cold.

She knew very well how much harm this sentence would cause to Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu's mother was his taboo, and she felt that this punch was too light!

Especially when the truth was revealed, and there were still so many people supporting Hu Tian, ​​smearing Jiang Yu, and even following Hu Tian in scolding Jiang Yu for being born by a mother but not raised by one, Yang Xue became more and more angry.

What kind of values ​​do these people have?

Is it wrong for Jiang Yu to hit someone? Is it right for Hu Tian to curse someone?
Besides, they had no idea about Jiang Yu’s background, and had no idea how much harm this sentence would cause to Jiang Yu!
Yang Xue's eyes grew colder as she read the online comments. She sensed something unusual. With the comments so intense and the public opinion so clearly pointing towards Hu Tian, ​​it was clear someone was secretly manipulating the situation.

She immediately took out her cell phone and called Sister Hong.

"Sister Hong, check the trending searches. No matter what method you use, control public opinion. At least don't let it get any worse..."

Sister Hong hung up the phone with Yang Xue and smiled helplessly. She also saw the hot search when she came back.

I knew this girl hadn't let go.

But since Yang Xue had spoken, she could only do as she was told. She also knew a little about Jiang Yu, and Hu Tian was indeed going too far.

Yang Xue immediately called Jiang Yu, but was told that he was on the phone.

Yang Xue, who was originally a little anxious and worried, suddenly frowned.

On a call?
I looked at the time. It was already past nine in the evening. Why was I calling Jiang Yu so late at night, especially during this sensitive period?
Who is it?
Su Muwan?
Or is it that little devil Song Yuqing?
Or someone else?
On Jiang Yu's side, he was talking to Song Yuqing when he received a notification that there was another incoming call.

"Alright, alright, I'm fine. Don't worry, Yuqing. You still have to participate in activities tomorrow to promote your new song. Go to bed early."

"Humph! These people are such idiots! Just wait, brother! I'll post on Weibo to support you! This Hu Tian is going too far!"

The little girl was furious on the other end of the phone. Jiang Yu seemed to be able to imagine Song Yuqing lying on the bed and calling him at this moment, with her pouting face.

This little girl called Su Muwan not long after she hung up the phone. This little sister really cares about her.

"No, don't get involved. It's not good for you."

With the current public opinion, it would be very bad for Song Yuqing if she posted on Weibo to participate in it. I guess her agency would not allow her to post.

"Then wait, brother. I'm about to release the new song you gave me. I will definitely support you! You still have me."

After ending the call with Song Yuqing, Jiang Yu saw that the caller was Yang Xue, and he guessed the reason why Yang Xue called.

Well, all three of my exes called me about this matter. Come to think of it, it seems quite happy.

I called Yang Xue directly, and the call was connected as soon as it rang.

Jiang Yu originally thought that Yang Xue would come to care about her like Su Muwan and Song Yuqing, but the next moment, she heard Yang Xue's cold question on the other end of the phone.

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Yang Xue's voice was a little cold, with a questioning tone, which made Jiang Yu's heart tremble. At that moment, he felt like he was caught having an affair with another woman.

But all of a sudden, Jiang Yu came to his senses and thought, what am I afraid of?

Aren’t they all exes?

Although I just had an in-depth exchange with my ex, Yang Xue, not long ago, there is no problem with the fact that we are both exes.

"Ahem, no one. Xuexue, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Jiang Yu decisively changed the subject. Yang Xue was still more focused on what happened tonight, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"How are you now? Are you okay?"

Jiang Yu's voice slowed down a bit: "Well, nothing happened."

But when Yang Xue heard Jiang Yu's calm voice, she felt that Jiang Yu was just showing off. Because Jiang Yu would break down whenever he mentioned his mother, not to mention what Hu Tian did today.

"Don't worry, leave the online matters to me."

"Have a good rest and don't read the news on the Internet."

Yang Xue acted decisively, as if at this moment she was the movie queen who was active in the entertainment industry, had successfully transformed herself from an artist into capital, and was now sitting at the poker table.

The call was not long. After ending the call with Yang Xue, Jiang Yu felt warm in his heart. These three people really cared about him.

He looked at Weibo. Although the popularity was still high, it seemed to be gradually declining. Many netizens even began to support him. He knew that it was probably Yang Xue and her ex who started to take action.

Jiang Yu felt a little touched and secretly vowed to give them a home in the future. Yeah, of course, the house had already been renovated, with so many rooms and such large cloakrooms, how could it be possible without a few hostesses?

Although Yang Xue and the others had begun to help Jiang Yu, and while they had some success, there were still many people supporting Hu Tian. This time, there was more than one person and company trying to get rid of Jiang Yu, and their efforts had some effect, but not much.

Many netizens are still defending Hu Tian at this moment, thinking that Jiang Yu was wrong to hit others.

"Haha, stop washing it. It's wrong for Jiang Yu to hit people."

"Exactly. I think he was too extreme. Teacher Hu scolded him, he could have asked Teacher Hu to apologize, but he had to hit her."

"I'm really impressed. Is it not okay to curse at someone like Jiang Yu? I originally thought Hu Tian was wrong to curse, but when I saw Jiang Yu's action in the end, I instantly felt that he was even more wrong."

"It's just like what Teacher Hu said. He has no manners. Teacher Hu gave him good advice, but he didn't listen. Yes, it was wrong for Teacher Hu to scold you, but hitting him was too much."

"No? What's wrong with people nowadays? Hu Tian's words are so excessive. If it were me, I would also slap him if he said that to my mother."

"That's right, you think our brother is easy to bully, right? Damn it!"

……

In the current situation, although public opinion has improved, it is not much. Under the operation of Hu Tian and many companies, many passers-by have been led by the rhythm.

On Jiang Yu's side, he suddenly received a call from Xu Ya.

"Are you in the hotel?"

"Huh? I'm here, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yu was still confused, but the next moment, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Yu was stunned when Xu Ya's voice came from the phone.

"Open the door."
