How can you become a star without money?

Chapter 65 External Forces
As Xun Ge'er once said: "When you see an arm, you think of a thigh. Only at this moment will the Chinese people's thinking leap forward and unleash their imagination."

But as you see more and more thighs, your imagination becomes instinctive.

So sometimes, being completely naked is far less imaginative than being partially covered.

While it may feel good to go all the way, going all the way to the end will lead to numbness, so it's important to proceed gradually and rhythmically.

Qu Shou's "In the Name of Love" photo set was released on the Kanpianer website on the 28th.

This small website, which already had only a few thousand visitors, caused a minor sensation on major male forums such as Huma, Tiexue, and Tianya that same day because of these photos.

It was only a minor sensation.

Because in 2010, we had just experienced the shocking Edison Chen photo scandal, where even high-profile female celebrities could have their photos leaked. What was so interesting about female models who weren't even celebrities?

Moreover, it's just an artistic photoshoot with only 70% skin exposure and no seductive poses. Unless you're a celebrity, 95-99% of people would rather spend their time looking at "Men's Health" magazine.

Magazines like "Men's Health" are hailed as testers of female celebrities' obedience. Only by passing this test can they have access to monetization resources in the fashion industry and possess relevant commercial value. So, you can imagine how artistically minded they are.

I've already seen the artistic photos of Fan Bingbing, Liu Yan, and Zhang Yuqi, so what's there to discuss about the photos of a minor model?
The only reason Qu Shou attracted attention was because he was a relatively new face, and because of the association with his identity as a car model, plus his unique shooting style.

But what really caused a stir was the clickbait website 【看片儿网】.

At first, everyone clicked on the site because of the leaked private photos of "Qu Shou, the first car model," and only spent about three minutes looking at the nine photos. However, the suggestive website name did pique the curiosity of many netizens, who wanted to see what kind of website this newly emerged was all about.

And so they saw it.

[Chinese film 'Permian', movies with two-character titles are all bad movies]

[Repost: "The Promise" - A top-tier, avant-garde, money-grabbing masterpiece featuring a cuckolded man giving himself to a woman]

[Repost: "Lust, Caution" is a film that smears and accuses collaborators from the perspective of American capital.]

A series of straightforward and eye-catching headlines, coupled with content full of practical information, sharp writing, and no attempt to hide sarcasm or dissent, ignited netizens' pent-up urge to vent their frustrations.

These movies have been criticized before, but no one has ever criticized them in such a concentrated way, and even summarized the patterns. What kind of god came up with the nickname "Permian"?!
These films have been controversial since their release, and they are basically all topics that have been discussed to death.

However, while everyone else is taking a stand on the film, these posts have gone beyond the film's perspective, labeling things from a higher level of intent and stance, and even providing evidence for it. Some of them also include some conspiracy theories and cunning interpretations of Western cultural invasion.

Good news: I cursed, and I cursed them all, and I really enjoyed it.

Bad news: The website may be shut down.

The more netizens looked, the more excited and alarmed they became. This website didn't have many posts, but each one was a gem!

At the same time, I was also worried for this website.

The founder of this website must be crazy, saying and writing anything. How many people must he have offended? Similar to other sites, right?
It's just a forum, why risk your life like that?

However, netizens, always eager for a good show, frantically forwarded the post to their own forums for discussion, which attracted even more netizens to participate in the discussion. At the same time, the unfamiliar yet familiar name "Kanpianer.com" quickly gained traction on the internet.

Over-interpretation is what the general public enjoys most, and it's also the fastest way for things to spread on the internet.

Consider the influence of classic examples such as Ran Min and Yang Guang, the Ten Sages of the Temple of Heaven.

They start making noise as soon as they show their faces.

In less than 12 hours, the daily PV capacity of Kanpianer.com reached its critical point of 100 million. Fortunately, Wang Yao had prepared a backup server in advance, which could increase the maximum capacity to over 1000 million.

While the website's traffic capacity can be addressed, the complaints from competitors are much harder to resolve.

These posts on Kanpianer.com have offended almost all the capital and film companies in the film industry, and even some potential third parties.

Moreover, this act of digging up all the bad debts at once is clearly an attempt to create a big news story. The bigger the issue, the shorter the news story—this principle applies to any industry.

Many major events are triggered by a small news story.

Therefore, news is also known as a weather vane in navigation.

The entertainment industry's top executives suddenly found themselves in a state of inexplicable anxiety.

Could someone really be trying to sabotage us?

I haven't heard anything about a major upheaval in the entertainment industry lately.

Then, like headless flies, they anxiously and worriedly sought connections everywhere to find out if there had been any recent developments they were unaware of.
As one of the top leaders, Director Hu was naturally among the first to receive the news.

When I heard the joke that all Permian films are bad, I was so angry I almost cursed.

Prosecute! We must prosecute!
The documentary "Confucius" has only just found a way to suppress negative reviews, so why is someone trying to frame her?
But as she was cursing, she suddenly stopped talking.

Is this a movie streaming website?

This name sounds so familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

She had been busy with publicity in Beijing recently and hadn't been involved in Ren Quan's project, but she had heard about it and eventually Chen Lingjuan remembered it.

The online ticketing website we just invested in, I think that's its name.

When Ren Quan received Hu Mei's call, he felt cold all over, as if the sky had fallen.

Ren Quan had heard that Wang Yao was going to create a big news story for the website to increase its exposure.

But it didn't say it was this method!

"Brother, no, Grandpa, you're my ancestor! You didn't say it was this kind of news! You're trying to kill me in this industry!" Ren Quan went to Wang Yao's company and berated him.

"What's there to be afraid of? The bolder the person, the greater the harvest. Look at the website traffic now." Wang Yao chuckled and pulled him to look at the data.

"What's the use of high traffic? Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Huh? Tens of thousands?" Ren Quan looked miserable and was stunned.

"We have over 20,000 new registered members and an activity level of over one million, which is almost catching up with Hupu," Wang Yao said with a light laugh.

"Huh? Doesn't that mean the valuation is tens of millions? Ugh, no, what's the use of traffic? The website might not even survive! No, it might even be destroyed!" Ren Quan was getting frantic.

It's only a matter of time before the bigwigs in the industry find out who's behind this website. When that happens, he'll be walking around with a manure basket in his hand, with shit right in front of him.

"Calm down, I'll delete all the posts and issue a statement later, and this matter will be over." Wang Yao smiled.

"How can issuing a statement possibly be of any use? Do you even know how many people you've offended?" Ren Quanzhen was getting angry.

This is playing with his career like a joke.

You don't treat me like a human being at all!

"It wasn't us who offended them, it was the forces outside the mirror who did." Wang Yao sneered, and directly deleted all the content on the entire website, leaving only a "Statement Post".

This website has recently been attacked by malicious external hackers. We are not responsible for any information posted during this period, nor for any resulting losses. We have reported the incident to the relevant authorities and are awaiting the results of the investigation.

There is also a police report record, dated a day earlier, which coincides with the time those posts were published.

The timing of this hacker attack was really clever!
　TAT, because I've been anxious lately and writing day and night, I've missed the opportunity to communicate with my editor during the day.

　　It seems like it's going to be available soon, but we won't be able to confirm the specifics until noon.
