How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 3: The peak produces false supporters, and dusk bears witness to devout believers!
After Jiang Yu had an agreement with the "God-given Voice" production team at Mango TV, they sent the contract to him for signing on the same day, as if they were afraid that Jiang Yu, now a cost-effective tool, would run away.

After all, it is very popular and has been a hot topic. Now it is cheap and obedient. Well, it is definitely cheap and easy to use.

During this period, Jiang Yu paid all the liquidated damages and even sold his house in Zhonghai City, but he still owed more than 20 million yuan in compensation.

The deadline given is to pay the full amount within six months, otherwise they will go to court.

"Alas! Now I have nothing!"

He has no money and no house, he is a real pauper.

"If you give me two more years, I think even if I lose money, I'll still have a lot left."

After all, the original body's time to make money was too short. In the first three years of the boy band, he didn't make much. As for the next three years, his commercial value increased, and the endorsement and film remuneration were high, but the company took a lot of cuts and taxes had to be paid. The time was also short, so he didn't make that much.

Fortunately, the production team of "The Voice of God" provided accommodation for the recording of this time. After the first episode is recorded, I will be able to receive a salary of 2.5 million.

Just a week before the recording, the production team of "The Voice of God" officially announced the lineup of guests for this season's recording. They are all well-known singers, powerful singers, popular singing voices, and singers with both popularity and strength, including first-tier and second-tier singers. The lineup is very strong.

"The heaven-given singing voice is coming soon, and all teachers are welcome to join us..."

When everyone first saw the list of ten guests for the show, they didn't think anything of it, but when they saw Jiang Yu's name at the end, everyone was stunned.

Is this Jiang Yu?

That top star Jiang Yu whose reputation collapsed?
After seeing the poster and confirming that it was Jiang Yu, the top star whose reputation had recently collapsed, netizens were immediately unhappy.

"No, why is Jiang Yu a scumbag among the guests on this show?"

"No, the production team is crazy, they invited such a scumbag? I don't want to watch this show anymore."

"Please, it's disgusting that trash is on a show with my idol!"

"The production team is crazy, they invited Jiang Yu even though his reputation has collapsed? They don't have to be so ugly just to gain traffic and popularity."

"If the production team doesn't replace Jiang Yu, I will definitely not watch it!"

……

The program team just announced the guest lineup not long ago. When netizens saw Jiang Yu, the artist with a bad reputation, they immediately flooded the comment section of the program team, boycotting Jiang Yu and even directly made it to the hot search list.

"Boycott Jiang Yu!"

"The Tianci production team should replace Jiang Yu!"

"It is strictly forbidden for bad artists to make a comeback!"

……

During this period, Jiang Yu can be regarded as a frequent visitor on the hot search list. Basically, topics related to Jiang Yu can be seen on the hot search list every day.

And now, when everyone saw this news, the ones who made the biggest fuss were Jiang Yu’s former wife fans.

My own brother, my imaginary husband, is actually in love!

This is something that these wife fans cannot accept.

Apart from them, the next most popular group are fans of Jiang Yu’s three ex-girlfriends who are big stars.

Queen Su Muwan, movie queen Yang Xue, and popular girl group idol Song Yuqing, fans of these three groups have been keeping their eyes on Jiang Yu.

Their own idol, their own goddess, the treasure in the fans' hands, the goddess in the hearts of male fans, was actually taken away by this guy. They must be very angry.

Fans of these three groups also openly boycotted Jiang Yu online.

"Jiang Yu is such a scumbag! How could my Mu Wan be so blind as to fall for him? I will resolutely boycott Jiang Yu!"

"That's right, our Xuexue is really blind. This scumbag wants to make a comeback. Go to hell!"

"This scumbag must have cheated on my Yuqing's feelings. He still wants to make a comeback? He's dreaming!"

……

With the fans of the three groups joining the boycott, Jiang Yu's participation in "The Voice of God" became a hot topic. Many people called on the official to ban Jiang Yu and asked the program team to replace Jiang Yu.

But the authorities haven't taken any action. Jiang Yu hasn't committed any crime; it's just a matter of morality and lifestyle. Furthermore, none of his ex-girlfriends have spoken out, so if the authorities do, it would seem like they're meddling in other people's business.

However, the popularity of this incident shocked Mango TV. Although they expected such a result, the current level of heat was far beyond their imagination.

Furthermore, those who had originally thought that only Jiang Yu's wife fans had quit were now joined by some bystanders who were influenced by the rhetoric, as well as fans of Su Muwan, Yang Xue, and Song Yuqing, causing the heat to explode. However, Mango TV was well prepared. Seeing that the heat had reached its peak and had had enough of this wave, they also sent in their online trolls to stir up trouble. The production team also issued a statement.

"We had already agreed to cooperate with Mr. Jiang Yu on 'The Voice of God' last month on June 6th, and there were no negative news at the time. At the end of June, some negative news about Mr. Jiang Yu began to spread online. After discussion and research by the program team, it was found that Mr. Jiang Yu did not align with the theme of the program. The team actively contacted Mr. Jiang Yu for communication, but failed to properly resolve the issue..."

The program team sent out a lot of text, and to put it bluntly, they were putting the blame on Jiang Yu.

It was said that the program team had signed the contract before Jiang Yu's scandal, and although they had been trying to resolve it, Jiang Yu shamelessly refused to agree. The program team had no choice but to fulfill the contract in the spirit of the contract, let Jiang Yu become a guest, and finally apologized.

This wave of operations, coupled with the release of some chat records from last month with Jiang Yu's team. Of course, the original communication was about the show "Full of Energy Brothers", but the key information was hidden, so that netizens only knew that Jiang Yu had cooperated with Mango TV.

But they hired some internet trolls to stir up trouble and control the situation, and then put the blame on Jiang Yu.

After all, Jiang Yu is now a ruined artist and a nobody. What's more, when Jiang Yu wanted to be on the show, he was already prepared to take the blame.

Jiang Yu looked at this scene and smiled. It was very good. Mango TV handled these matters very well.

Now, the water army has also begun to make efforts.

"I heard that the contract was signed before, but Jiang Yu's reputation has collapsed now. The production team wants to terminate the contract, but Jiang Yu has been refusing to agree."

"Jiang Yu is now in trouble. He will definitely have to pay compensation for the termination of contracts with so many brands. He has finally caught an opportunity and will definitely not let it go. He will make a fortune while there is still some popularity."

"Tsk tsk, this Jiang Yu is really shameless. Mango TV is unlucky to have met him."

……

After this wave of tug-of-war and public relations, the situation gradually reversed, and the firepower was directly transferred to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's wife fans who stopped following him are scolding him, some passers-by are scolding him, and fans of the three big star ex-girlfriends are scolding him. However, even though Jiang Yu is facing a lot of online blackmail, there are still some people who support him.

Those former black fans have now become Jiang Yu’s most loyal guards, working hard to defend their brother whom they have been blackening for six years.

It has been six years, and I have been blackening my brother for so long. If my brother is gone, my fun will be gone too.

"Don't say that about my brother. He works so hard and his rap performances on the show were amazing!"

"For six years, I've often wondered if I was a true fan or a hater. I'd look at the memes of my brother in my favorites and fall into deep thought. Until recently, news broke that my brother's reputation had collapsed. At that moment, I felt like the sky had fallen, and my heart was empty. It was then that I realized I had developed a deep affection for my brother!"

"It wasn't until today that I realized that die-hard fans are black!"

"When my brother is safe and sound, we are his biggest trouble. When my brother is in trouble, we are his strongest backing!"

"When I lost my brother, I realized how deep my love for him was. I may be a little black boy, but I am also my brother's most loyal guardian!"

"This man who has been training for two and a half years and has amazed my entire youth, Xiao Heizi will always protect you!"

"No more memes this time. Regardless of Jiang Yu's fate, thank you for bringing joy to netizens over the past six years - Twilight Believer!"

"Brother, we will always support you!"

"The peak produces false supporters, while the dusk bears witness to devout believers! Our little Heizi is Brother's most loyal fan!"

……

Now, those black fans have become Jiang Yu's die-hard fans, and they are supporting Jiang Yu on the Internet one by one. No matter if they are joking or sincere, the number of these black fans is huge and the popularity is high.

Since Jiang Yu’s scandal broke out, not only did his fan base not decrease, but it skyrocketed to over a million in just over a week, leaving people in the industry dumbfounded.

In this situation, Mango TV is also happy to see that so many people still support Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu is still so popular even after his reputation was ruined. The popularity of the show will definitely remain stable.

Jiang Yu was watching videos and came across the videos made for him by these black fans. There were even private messages in the comment section of Weibo. Besides those scolding him, the most popular one was the support from the black fans.

Before boarding the plane to go to Mango TV to record "The Voice of God", Jiang Yu also posted a Weibo.

"Little Black Treasures, thank you so much this time!"

Black fans are also fans. These little black fans are now his strongest backing. Just like the saying goes, if you have the guts, you can black me for the rest of my life.

After sending it, Jiang Yu turned off his phone immediately. When he opened it after getting off the plane, he could already imagine how excited the black fans were.

The plane took off and Jiang Yu went to Mango TV to record a program.

Fortunately, the program crew covered the transportation and accommodation expenses, otherwise it would be difficult for Jiang Yu to take a plane now.
