Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 113 Purifying CP Fans (Fourth Update)
……

……

The program just ended,
Gu Qing saw Wu Tong approach her with utmost respect, his attitude bordering on obsequious.

Hopefully, he can spare some time to go to the TV station for an interview with reporters, recall what happened, and it would be even better if he could help the program team smooth things over.

"okay, I get it."

Gu Qing nodded.

We need to give our fans a response to prevent them from getting too nervous and doing something irrational.

The first thing to do, of course, is to go to the dressing room and fix up my appearance.
“Xiao Gu, you can’t be too miserable, nor can you be too glamorous. If you’re too glamorous, some people will maliciously say that you’re hyping yourself up. If you’re too miserable, your fans will imagine that you were forced.”

Sister Xu is very experienced; she simply touched up Gu Qing's makeup to make her complexion look better.

As for the wet hair and sweat-soaked clothes, keep them all.

When Gu Qing arrived at the Moon Platform headquarters by car, he learned in advance of several questions he needed to answer, which allowed him to prepare.

at this time,

Reporters who had come after hearing the news had already crowded outside the TV station.

As soon as I got off the bus,

Long lenses and short lenses were practically shoved in Gu Qing's face, the flashes blinding him, and a dozen microphones were thrust at him from all directions, asking increasingly outrageous questions:
"Gu Qing, the internet says that the fans who attacked you were fans of three other top celebrities. Whose fans do you think are most likely to be involved?"

After a reporter shouted at the top of his lungs, it seemed he was expecting the reporter to respond to this absurd question.

"First of all, she is my fan, and no one instructed her. Secondly, what you said is likely a rumor, and our company will investigate it further."

Gu Qing smiled as she answered the questions, "Everyone can ask one by one, and I will try my best to answer."

Another female reporter seized the opportunity to ask, "You insisted on recording the show after you were injured. Were you deliberately trying to gain sympathy and manipulate your fans?"

Sister Xu predicted it!
"I wasn't injured; that fan just hugged me because he was emotional."

Gu Qing said seriously, "As for the so-called sob story and fan manipulation, I believe I was just doing my job diligently."

"Gu Qing, there are rumors circulating online that you interfered in the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, willingly becoming a mistress. Is this true?"

A reporter from a gossip magazine jumped up high and, after shouting the question at the top of his lungs, asked it...
The previously boisterous reporters fell into an eerie silence, all staring at Gu Qing with gleaming eyes.

Gu Qing's smile froze slightly, but she quickly recovered.
He glanced behind the reporter at the Moon Platform staff member, whose forehead was sweating.

Okay, okay, so you're playing me like this?

Whether the reporter made their own interpretation or the staff failed to properly hand over the information to the reporter, it doesn't matter.

This was all the Moon Platform's mistake.

"Excuse me, this is a problem..."

As the assistant, Zhao Ya naturally had to protect her boss and wanted to refuse to answer.

"It's okay, I can answer this question. Otherwise, it would seem like I'm guilty."

Gu Qing blocked her hand, her eyes shining with a smile as she looked directly into the reporter's eyes. "The so-called emotional interference is utterly absurd. You can ask the other two parties involved."

"Then why were you and Yang Ying so close on the show?"

The reporter asked this question reluctantly as he was being dragged away by the employees.

"It's simple, because we're creating a CP (couple pairing) dynamic, and it's a task assigned by the production team."

Gu Qing exploded.

"Ouch!!!"

If it could be visualized, after hearing Gu Qing finish speaking, all the reporters present turned into wild beasts, howling excitedly.

"Okay, that's the end of the interview. I need to go back and rest now."

Ignoring the excited reporters, Gu Qing turned around and got into the car decisively.

Security personnel were behind them to stop them.

The car was very quiet.

No one spoke.

Gu Qing closed his eyes to rest, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He'd had enough.

Gu Qing wanted to explode ever since Huang Xiaoming finished appearing on the second episode of Running Man.

Being constantly attacked and scolded by CP fans, and having to bear the label of a male homewrecker, who could stand it?
If something happens between him and Yang Yingzhen, you can scold him all you want, and he'll accept it.

But in fact?
Aside from the unavoidable intimate actions during filming, they've barely exchanged more than two words on WeChat in private!
Gu Qing had been holding back her anger for a long time.

If something happens,
The two people involved were pretending to be dead, leaving him alone to draw attention.

Huang Xiaoming even went on a TV show to assert his sovereignty over him.

Swear to your horse!

When your girlfriend's fans are criticizing me, why don't you buy her a gift box as a gift?!
I took a car back to the company late at night.

Li Li was already waiting at the company entrance with a big smile.

"Xiao Gu, well said! Well done!"

"Sister Li told you long ago not to create this CP (couple pairing) for the second season. Creating a CP would do more harm than good for you, but you were still hesitant. Now do you believe me?"

While helping Gu Qing straighten his clothes, Li Li gestured for Zhao Ya to press the elevator button, saying, "If you ask me, after this season of Running Man is finished filming, you don't even need to participate in the show anymore."

"If your later dramas get good ratings, you can focus on developing your film, television and music career. You'll earn more and have a higher status than variety show personalities. Wouldn't that be great?"

She spoke at length, saying, "You have ability, talent, and the face that God gave you, why should you put up with this kind of treatment?"

Even after the cosmetics gift box incident broke out,

That very night, Li Li contacted Gu Qing and planned to have him immediately cut ties with and purify the CP (couple) fandom.

In the entertainment industry, cultivating a loyal fanbase is an essential step for every artist.

To gain real financial support from fans,
Then the vast majority of fans cannot be normal people.

Artists cultivate core fans through methods such as "criticizing others, belittling others, endorsing products, or boosting sales of film and television works and songs."

The method of 'solidifying powder' is even simpler.

Gu Qing had once watched a video of a content creator explaining the inside story of the entertainment industry.

Like the earliest popular BL drama, 'Guardian',
By skirting the theme of "brotherhood," both male celebrities gained a huge number of female fans.

The two maintained the show's popularity by working together during its broadcast and frequently engaging in intimate gestures.

But after the show aired,
The two companies started to distance themselves, and during the process, they incited their fans to engage in online arguments.

At this point, the neutral faction, or CP fans, was rejected by both sides until the split was completed.

Transform fervent CP fans into individual 'solo fans'.

Having gained a huge amount of traffic, these celebrities can then convert that traffic into star power, allowing them to land endorsements and TV drama roles at an incredible pace.

The company behind them is also making a killing.

Waiting for the second season of "The Untamed"

The third book, "The Order of Mountains and Rivers".
The operation became even smoother and more skillful: sales, cutting, pulling and pressing, consolidating fans, and lifting coffee.

The artists featured were all incredibly popular, with two of them even reaching the top tier of fame.

But such a result would lead to,
The fans of the two artists became sworn enemies, never speaking to each other again.

Gu Qing initially disagreed with the agent's approach because of this.

Because he has a very good relationship with all the brothers in the Running Man cast.

After something like this happens, how can we record shows in the future?
However, due to the recent series of events,

Gu Qing couldn't take it anymore.

If the woman's fans continue to hurl insults like this, how will he keep his fans?

Gu Qing would have tolerated it if Yang Ying had been willing to respond at all.

But in the end,

After waiting for several days, there was still no response.

Do you want your career to become a stepping stone for others?

Don't even think about it!
