How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 189 Hu Tian, ​​come out and apologize!
When the audience saw this moment, they could no longer hold back.

At this moment, everyone realized that Jiang Yu, who always looked cheerful and optimistic, actually had such a dark past. His life story was so tragic...

My own mother committed suicide because of the medicine I, in my ignorance, bought myself...

They dare not imagine how painful and self-blaming a child who was only five or six years old must have felt at that time, and even in these years.

Especially at the end, Jiang Yu's eyes were red and tears were flowing out uncontrollably. He choked and said, "If I hadn't wanted to eat chocolate so much at the beginning, maybe I would be a person with a mother now." This sentence broke the defense of countless audiences.

At this moment, everyone realized why the media had never reported on Jiang Yu's parents and family. It turned out that his parents had passed away long ago...

Hearing the self-blame and sadness in Jiang Yu's words, Lin Qianqian and many other viewers felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife.

After so many years, they couldn't believe how Jiang Yu had managed to hold on. Was he always living in self-blame?
"Woo woo woo, Jiang Yu is fine, it's fine, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"Yes, Jiang Yu, you have to be strong. It's not your fault. Mom will be sad in heaven seeing you so sad and heartbroken."

"Wow! Even a grown man like me is moved to tears. I never thought Jiang Yu's life story was so tragic. Sigh!"

"Damn! Now that I think about it, the punch Jiang Yu threw at Hu Tian was really light. That bastard Hu Tian's curse must have deeply hurt Jiang Yu!"

……

Lin Qianqian choked up a bit, wiping away tears with a tissue. She hadn't expected this episode to be so intense. If it weren't for Teacher Dong, if it weren't for the guests' curiosity about Jiang Yu's life, no one would have known about Jiang Yu's tragic yet heartbreaking past.

As the program aired, it gradually came to an end and it was time for the guests to perform.

Lin Qianqian felt a slight sense of relief as she listened to Su Muwan singing "So Many People in This World," a new song Jiang Yu had written for her. The soothing melody and the beautiful yet regretful lyrics captivated her.

Listening to this song, it seems to calm people down unconsciously. It sounds like a sweet and beautiful song, but the lingering aftertaste and the regret at the end make people immersed in it for a long time...

"The song Jiang Yu wrote for Su Muwan is also very good."

Lin Qianqian was a little curious when she saw Jiang Yu coming on stage. What kind of song would he perform this time when recording the show in his hometown?

When Lin Qianqian and the audience heard Jiang Yu say that this song was dedicated to his mother, they felt as if their hearts were struck by something again.

"One meat and one vegetable, I think it might be a bit tearful..."

Lin Qianqian was already prepared. When she heard about Jiang Yu's life story before, she couldn't stop crying. Now that Jiang Yu's song was dedicated to his mother, she felt that it would definitely be very touching and tear-jerking.

This is indeed the case. When the music sounded and Jiang Yu's singing echoed in her ears, a beautiful picture seemed to appear in Lin Qianqian's mind.

Smoke curls up from the kitchen, the sun sets in the west, and in the yard, my mother is busy preparing food. A small square table is set with one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and the family sits around it, feeling warm and beautiful, simple and happy...

At this moment, it seemed as if Jiang Yu had painted a beautiful picture of his childhood for everyone, as if he was showing everyone his childhood, his few beautiful memories from childhood...

"The moon is bright and the wind is light

Have you ever been in my dream?
You must have been too careful when you came
You know I sleep lightly..."

When they heard Jiang Yu singing this part, their hearts were struck again, their noses felt sore, and tears flowed out again uncontrollably.

Jiang Yu must have missed his mother a lot over the years, right?

Lin Qianqian's eyes were slightly red. She wanted to tell herself that she had to hold it in. But when she heard Jiang Yu singing and saw this part of the lyrics, her mind unconsciously flashed back to Jiang Yu's tragic and pitiful life experience. Her nose felt sore and she couldn't control her tears again.

When Jiang Yu's performance ended, seeing him break down and burst into tears, Lin Qianqian and many other audience members couldn't hold back their tears. The sincerity of Jiang Yu's performance was truly moving and touching.

It's not just them. At this moment, Song Yuqing's eyes were also blurred with tears, her nose was twitching, and the fullness of her chest was rising and falling.

"Wow, brother, this song is so touching!"

The little girl also knew Jiang Yu's life experience. When she saw this episode where Teacher Dong talked about her brother's life experience, and even when her brother talked about his mother's experience, Song Yuqing's face was full of heartache.

Now she heard the new song "One Meat and One Vegetable" written by her brother for his mother. Seeing her brother's red eyes on the stage and the uncomfortable look after the singing, she felt very distressed.

Yang Xue was sitting on the sofa in the hotel at the moment, with her beautiful legs crossed, holding a tablet and watching this scene, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

This episode of "Walking and Singing" has ended, but it has become a hot topic.

"Sing and play while walking!"

"Jiang Yu's background exposed!"

"Jiang Yu is so pitiful!"

"Hu Tian is going too far!"

"Hu Tian, ​​hypocrite!"

"Hu Tian apologizes!"

"Jiang Yu has one meat and one vegetable!"

"Su Muwan, there are so many people in this world!"

"A song Jiang Yu wrote for his mother!"

……

The hot searches immediately exploded after the show aired. The top ten trending searches on Weibo were mostly related to "Walking and Singing," which aired tonight. Among them, searches about Jiang Yu's background and Hu Tian were the most popular.

At this moment, the audience who watched this episode finally understood why Jiang Yu punched Hu Tian in the first place. At this moment, everyone realized that Jiang Yu's punch was a light blow, and how much hurt Hu Tian's words had hurt Jiang Yu, and how excessive they were.

Video clips from the show were edited and circulated wildly online, and the popularity remained high. As more and more people saw the video and learned about Jiang Yu's tragic and heartbreaking life experience, Hu Tian was also scolded and became a hot topic.

"Oh my God! Jiang Yu actually has such a dark past. His life story is so tragic!"

"Wow! After watching this video, I listened to Jiang Yu's song, a meat-and-vegetarian version, dedicated to his mother. I couldn't hold it back and I'm still crying."

"I see, that's how it is. No wonder Jiang Yu reacted so strongly to Hu Tian's scolding. Now it seems that punching Hu Tian is nothing. If it were me, I would just kill him!"

"Damn! Now it seems that bastard Hu Tian is the worst. He's just rubbing salt into Jiang Yu's wounds. If I were Jiang Yu, it would definitely not be just one punch!"

"Damn it! That bastard Hu Tian has really gone too far now. He's pretending to be pitiful, playing the victim, and trying to stir up trouble. He's truly a hypocrite!"

"Oh my god! So that's how it is. I've misunderstood Jiang Yu all this time. What the hell did I do? I scolded him so much before. Woo woo woo, I really deserve to die!"

"No, this bastard Hu Tian is so excessive and hypocritical! I even spoke up for him before and scolded Jiang Yu for so long. Ahhh! What have I done? Damn it, wuwuwu, Jiang Yu, I'm sorry, I wronged you!"

"Hu Tian! Get out here and apologize!"

"Yes! Apologize!"

……

At that moment, a wave of online abuse and accusations against Hu Tian erupted, his actions now backfiring. Netizens who had seen the video and the episode rushed to Hu Tian's social media accounts to curse and attack him, even going so far as to target his company's social media accounts, demanding he apologize to Jiang Yu.

At the same time, a wave of apologies swept the Internet, with people saying, "I'm sorry, Jiang Yu, I wronged you."

Many netizens went to the comment section of Jiang Yu’s Weibo or sent him private messages, apologizing to him and saying that they had wronged him.

For a time, these things became extremely popular.

At this moment, Hu Tian's company immediately started public relations after seeing the situation. However, the heat of this matter was too great and could not be suppressed at all.

At Hu Tian's villa, his agent was already swamped with phone calls. Both the company and some of the partnering brands were incredibly busy. The company was handling the situation with PR and trying to suppress the hype, but it was completely useless. The online buzz was incredibly high. It could be argued that the backlash this time was just as severe as their initial efforts to manipulate Jiang Yu, generating significant buzz, was exponentially worse.

After Xie Qiang finished the call, he felt a little unwell. This matter was really too big.

Now many cooperating brands have called to question him. Although this incident cannot be considered a house collapse, it has a great impact on Hu Tian’s image, which is something that those brands are very concerned about.

If this affects their brand, it will be troublesome.

Xie Qiang felt helpless as he looked at his good friend Hu Tian, ​​who was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face and not saying a word.

"I told you at the time not to do it, not to do it. Now look, the backlash has come. If this matter is not handled well, your future career will be affected." Image jumping is no joke. Although it will not lead to his retirement, it will definitely have a huge impact on Hu Tian's career.

Even Xie Qiang hadn't anticipated this. He had thought Jiang Yu's incident was over and he would always bear the infamy. Unexpectedly, this guy had such a tragic life and past. Once "Walking and Singing" was broadcast, it became the best and most powerful counterattack weapon.

Not only him, but also the company, and even the artist companies that secretly colluded with Jiang Yu did not expect this.

Hu Tian was suppressing his inner dissatisfaction and anger at the moment, looking at the messages on his mobile phone. It was Jiang Yu who was scolded and became a hot topic, but now it was his turn.

At this moment, his heart was filled with displeasure, even unwillingness.

He didn't expect that this guy could actually make a comeback by doing this. This guy actually had such an unknown past. This was something he had never expected.

But do you regret it?
Hu Tian definitely does not feel any regret in his heart. The only thing he regrets now is why he did not just beat Jiang Yu to death!
If Jiang Yu had been beaten to death by them back then, this wouldn't have happened.

Agent Xie Qiang was on the phone again. It was the head of the company's public relations department who was calling. It seemed that the situation was a bit troublesome. He glanced at Hu Tian from time to time. After the call ended, Xie Qiang looked at his friend Hu Tian and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Old Hu, things are getting a bit tricky right now. The public opinion is overwhelming. The company is already doing its best with PR to dampen the heat, but..."

He didn't finish his words. Hu Tian just looked up at him. Xie Qiang continued, "The company wants you to apologize as soon as possible. This will minimize the impact and put an end to this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will affect your future career. Not only will your new album be released next month, but your future shows will also be affected..."

"Enough!" Hu Tian interrupted Xie Qiang's words when he heard this. He stood up angrily, his eyes full of displeasure, coldness, and unwillingness.

"I absolutely cannot apologize. As for the impact, the internet has no memory. You can just tell the company to expose a few other artists in the industry or use information about other artists in the company to attract attention."

Apologize?

Haha, let me apologize to this guy Jiang Yu?

Hu Tian couldn't do it. He felt that once he apologized, he would be admitting defeat in the fight with Jiang Yu.

As for the impact?

He'd been in the industry for over a decade, what kind of storms had he not seen? The impact was only temporary. Besides, he wasn't one of those traffic stars who relied on their looks to make a living. His longevity was due to his music and his own abilities. As long as his next album was of solid quality, these impacts would be offset.

As for the concerns of my partners, as long as I can prove my influence and ability in music with my new album, then this matter won't be a big deal. Besides, the best way to deal with this kind of thing is to just not respond and let it go. Wait until the heat dies down, and nothing will happen, right?
He also saw that there were still many fans supporting him online. As long as he beat Jiang Yu on the show and his new album became a hit, crushing Jiang Yu, none of this would matter.

Xie Qiang watched his friend angrily go upstairs and return to his room, and sighed helplessly.

This guy still has such a bad temper.

In this situation, the backlash they suffered this time was too great. Asking Hu Tian to apologize was the safest and most effective solution. And...

At the beginning, he felt that his good friend was too impulsive and that scolding Jiang Yu was indeed excessive. After seeing Jiang Yu's life experience this time, Xie Qiang felt that Lao Hu was too much.

But because of their different positions, he and the company can only try their best to minimize the impact, but the effect is minimal.

While giving it the cold shoulder was a solution, it certainly had a significant impact on Hu Tian during this time. Having been friends for so many years, he knew what Hu Tian was thinking: he simply wanted to cool things down and wait for the heat to die down. Thinking about beating Jiang Yu on the show later, or even competing for his new album release next month, all these impacts were secondary.

But now...

Considering the huge influence of online public opinion today, with so much abuse and accusations coming in, is this really useful?
Xie Qiang wasn't quite sure either, but with Hu Tian in this state, it was probably unlikely that he would come forward to apologize.

So……

Xie Qiang's eyes turned cold, and he contacted the company directly: "In the next few days, I'll reveal some information to block the flow. Remember, don't release it all at once, release it intermittently..."

……

Online public opinion was now overwhelmingly one-sided. Even though Hu Tian had fans supporting him, the intensity of the abuse and criticism Jiang Yu had endured was now being retaliated against many times over. Hu Tian and his company even urgently shut down private messages and comments on social media platforms.

They've been secretly doing PR, waiting for the heat to die down, and even in the past few days, some information about other artists has been exposed one after another, trying to divert attention. But it seems that the effect is not obvious, and there are still many people cursing Hu Tian online.

"Haha, giving it the cold shoulder, huh? No response at all, no apology, huh? That's it? Senior? King? Disgusting guy."

"Fuck! I get mad every time I see Hu Tian. He pretended to be pitiful and started a stir, causing me to misunderstand Jiang Yu. Then, I was used as a pawn by Hu Tian. I even cursed Jiang Yu online. Damn this bastard!"

"Trash, scumbag. He caused a lot of people to misunderstand Jiang Yu by stirring up trouble. Hypocrites like Hu Tian are the most disgusting."

"Haha, now I understand why I haven't been successful in pursuing Su Muwan for so many years. It turns out that Su Muwan has already seen through this bastard."

"Exactly. It turns out that Su Muwan is the most sober one. Fortunately, she didn't deceive that scumbag Hu Tian."

"Damn it! Are you pretending to be dead? Get out here and apologize to Jiang Yu!"

"That's right, apologize! You must apologize to Jiang Yu!"

……

In the past few days, Hu Tian has been criticized online, and even many netizens and his fans can't stand it. Many people posted videos and threw away and destroyed the peripheral posters and albums they bought from Hu Tian.

"Sisters, we were blind to fall for such a hypocrite. From today on, I'm saying goodbye to this hypocritical man. Trash, scum, get lost!"

There are quite a few videos of this kind. Hu Tian’s Weibo followers have dropped by hundreds of thousands in the past few days.

However, there are still many crazy fans who support him and speak for him online.

On the second day after the incident, CCTV issued a special article. Although it did not mention Hu Tian by name, it used the term "Hu". The words between the lines were saying that if you do something wrong, you must have the courage to admit your mistakes.

Everyone can see that this is the CCTV program "Walking and Singing". After seeing Jiang Yu's life experience and understanding the truth about his actions, they are standing up for Jiang Yu.

As soon as CCTV released the statement, the situation suddenly changed. Hu Tian's company and Xie Qiang couldn't sit still anymore, and regardless of whether Hu Tian agreed or not, they immediately issued an apology on Hu Tian's Weibo.

"I apologize to Xiao Jiang for what I did before. I'm sorry for causing you harm with my inappropriate words!"

It’s very simple, just this one simple line of text.

Hu Tian sat in the room, on the sofa, frowning, full of reluctance and displeasure. He didn't expect that the company would directly use his Weibo to apologize to Jiang Yu.

Xie Qiang was already a little angry.

"No, do you know how big of an impact this incident has? CCTV didn't publish anything before, but now they've named you. If you don't respond and apologize, you're going to be in trouble later."

Xie Qiang was well aware that the situation was different now that CCTV had named him. If CCTV hadn't intervened before, he could have handled the situation calmly. But now, with CCTV's announcement, he had to respond, or else the damage would be enormous. While naming him by CCTV wasn't a crime and wouldn't force him to leave the entertainment industry, it would definitely have an impact on his career.

Shortly after CCTV published the article naming the companies, two or three brands that had been stabilized before called and directly requested to terminate the contracts.

The company is well aware that if it does not respond, it will suffer greater losses later.

Under pressure from all sides, the company no longer cared about Hu Tian and directly issued an apology on Hu Tian’s Weibo.

The main thing now is to stop the losses and put an end to this matter. Otherwise, if it continues to ferment like this, the impact will become bigger and bigger, and the losses will increase.

Xie Qiang looked at Hu Tian and said earnestly, "It's just an apology now, it's nothing. You also said that we can win it back in the next recording and with the new album. Apologize now to put an end to this matter, and then we can fight back better."

After hearing this, Hu Tian was extremely reluctant, but now that it had happened, there was nothing he could do.

His eyes were full of coldness: "Jiang Yu!"

He will never forget how badly he was pushed this time. In the next round, and in the subsequent new album competition, he must win! He must crush this guy under his feet!

He wants to take back everything he lost this time!
……

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu was busy buying furniture for his new home. The house was already decorated, so he had some furniture to buy. He'd have some free time over the next couple of days to get it ready. He could move in straight away.

But now, it still needs to be ventilated and left for a while. Otherwise, this newly renovated house will be filled with the smell of formaldehyde, which is not good for the body.

He also saw what happened online, and could only say that Hu Tian deserved it.

It’s time for the recording of the seventh episode of “Singer” again. I got on the plane, took off, and headed to Mango TV to record a new episode.

I'm recommending a friend's new book. Today is Tuesday, and I'm asking him to follow up on it. He even sent me a red envelope privately, so I have to recommend it. Everyone, please help me follow up on it. It's an entertaining novel with many female protagonists, and the speed is super fast. Please help him follow up on it. Just follow up on it, that's all. Thank you!
