Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Xingyao Entertainment, Public Relations Department.

It's 11:30 p.m.

The office area, where the lights should have been turned off and people left long ago, was still brightly lit.

Every employee's face bore the same look of exhaustion.

It's not "I want to go home from get off work".

Instead, it's more like "I'll most likely be laid off at the company tonight."

The whiteboard at the very front was already covered with dense writing in markers.

Option A: Star Shine Entertainment issues an official apology statement, expressing sincerity and humility, and emphasizing respect for seniors and colleagues in the industry.

"Option B: Contact the fan club and ask the big fans to take the lead in deleting inflammatory remarks, guide fans to pursue their idols rationally, and cool down the situation by letting it cool down."

"Option C: Release footage of Fang Yu working hard in the recording studio to shift public opinion, play the victim to win over fans, and ease the confrontational atmosphere."

"Option D: Contact the affected artists' teams privately, and if necessary, have Sister Wang communicate with them to prevent the other teams from getting involved."

Public Relations Director Chen stood in front of the whiteboard, a marker in his hand.

"Everyone."

He tapped the whiteboard.

"Everyone saw Fang Yu's Weibo post about kneeling on his knees, and his actions of going around kowtowing to other people's comment sections."

"I admit it."

"This thing is very entertaining."

"It certainly fits his established persona."

"but!"

Director Chen's tone suddenly turned serious.

"Programming effect is not the same as crisis public relations."

"This kind of unorthodox approach is good for making people laugh."

"Can we really expect it to quell the anger of fans of a few popular celebrities and fans of veteran singers?"

"That's unrealistic."

No one dared to utter a sound in the meeting room.

Everyone was looking down at their computer screens.

Even the sound of typing on the keyboard was much quieter than usual.

Director Chen pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and spoke rapidly.

"Fan circles have their own rules."

"The essence of this matter is that Fang Yu's fans launched a large-scale attack, went to the comment sections of other artists to criticize and belittle them, which aroused the resentment of the other artists' fans."

"If the other side thinks we are being sarcastic or avoiding the main issues, public opinion could explode again at any time."

At this point, Director Chen took a deep breath.

"Therefore, based on my comprehensive assessment..."

"We must combine Plan A and Plan B; we must do both."

"The official statement will be released tonight."

"We also need to contact the fan club immediately."

"What we need to do now is to prepare a backup plan."

"We absolutely cannot let the other side take the lead."

"We must not allow this dispute to escalate into a real fan war."

"Um, that..."

Just then, in the corner of the conference room, an employee responsible for monitoring the overall market sentiment data suddenly raised his hand.

He was also holding a tablet computer in his arms.

"Director..."

Director Chen's words were interrupted, and his brows furrowed on the spot.

"What's wrong?"

The employee swallowed hard.

"The data... seems a bit off."

Director Chen's eyes widened, and his nerves instantly tensed.

"The other side's fans aren't buying it?"

"Are they preparing to massacre everyone in the square?"

"I told you this kind of nonsense is useless!"

"Quickly contact Weibo and try to suppress the trending topic!"

"Where's the first version of the official statement? Let me see it!"

"No, no!"

The employee quickly shook his head.

"It's not that the other side is going to massacre the square."

"Yes……"

He paused, his expression very complicated.

It was as if I had witnessed something that defied professional logic.

"The contingency plan... seems to be unnecessary."

In the conference room, everyone looked up at the same time.

Director Chen was stunned.

What do you mean by "no longer needed"?

The employee held up the tablet, his voice a little unsteady.

"Director."

"You should watch the big screen yourself."

As he spoke, he projected Weibo posts, comment sections from major music platforms, and real-time public opinion trends onto the screen in the center of the conference room.

Director Chen turned his head.

His facial expression initially showed a look of serious anticipation.

Then it turned into confusion.

Finally, they froze.

The entire public relations department witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Below Fang Yu's comments, which were filled with unabashed kneeling and groveling.

His fans actually followed suit and lined up in neat rows.

[Brother Yu has finished kowtowing, now it's my turn! Sorry! We shouldn't have said those things here!]

Our idol isn't quite right in the head, and neither are we! We're sorry for the trouble!

[Bro, there were a lot of people outside just now! Bang bang bang!]

Thousands of comments, including apologies and online kneeling gestures, flooded various comment sections.

That was quite a spectacle.

It was a hundred times more spectacular than when they were provoking others everywhere.

What's even more outrageous is that these people didn't just offer a perfunctory apology.

Their attitudes were frighteningly good.

The reason is also very simple.

"Northeast Folk Songs" and "Mohe Dance Hall" haven't been recorded yet!

Everyone on the internet knows that Fang Yu is the kind of person who can actually do things like "taking advantage of the situation to back down and then giving up".

joke.

I can endure being scolded, and I can kowtow.

But the songs can't be gone!

……

And what's even more amazing is—

The reactions of the fans of those aggrieved celebrities.

These rival fans were already furious.

Now, looking at the results...

The person in charge has arrived first.

Fans lined up to come.

Each and every one of them was not making excuses, not shifting blame, and not being sarcastic.

It really was there, "bang bang bang".

This makes it difficult for people to continue criticizing.

As a result, the comments section became increasingly bizarre.

Sisters, stop it, stop yelling. They've already gone this far.

You can't hit someone who's smiling at you, and you can't kick someone who's begging for your attention.

Alright, alright, let's withdraw the anti-gang squad. It's like we're bullying honest people.

What Director Chen didn't expect was—

Those artist teams that were being criticized also took the opportunity to back down gracefully.

Just now, that veteran king of ballads directly replied to Fang Yu's kneeling comment:

[Hey bro, get up! You can't do that! Those few slaps you gave me a blood pressure spike. Actually, I've been listening to your song "Xiao Fang" on repeat all day. It's a great song. Let's have tea sometime! @FangYu]

Immediately afterwards, the superstar posted another Weibo post on his main account.

Music is for communication, not for comparison. Brother Fang is incredibly talented and insightful; he's an interesting young man. His longtime fans, let's all move on and keep things peaceful. Let's not scare the younger generation; let's go listen to his music.

This Weibo post immediately put the longtime fans at ease.

I've saved face.

There are steps now.

They left comments one by one in the comment section.

[Brother Wang has broadened his horizons.]

[Brother Fang Yu is a good friend; we're all family.]

Since Brother Wang has spoken, let's call a truce.

On the other hand, the popular young actor was in a complete panic.

Are you kidding me?

With Fang Yu's current popularity, who in the Chinese entertainment industry would dare to accept his more than one hundred "knocks"?

This will shorten your lifespan!

I got up in the middle of the night and rushed to Fang Yu's comment section to frantically reply:

[Brother Yu, you're making me feel so bad!!! How could I possibly teach you my skills! I'd like to ask you how to practice breathing techniques! I've memorized the Northeastern iron pot stew recipe. Whenever you're free, I'll definitely come to meet you!]

To prevent their easily swayed and aggressive fans from causing trouble, the young actor's studio even posted a statement overnight.

Their attitude was even more urgent than that of Xingyao Entertainment's public relations department.

[An urgent appeal to all fans: Please be rational in your fandom, focus on your own idol, and refrain from any conflicts with fans of other artists! Fang Yu is a rare and outstanding musician; we should learn from our ally! Meeting adjourned!]

In just half an hour.

A top-level fan war is about to erupt.

A public relations crisis that, in the eyes of the public relations department, required four different strategies to quell.

Fang Yu and his fans used the most primitive, shameless, and illogical public relations methods to force them to act.

It was transformed into a large-scale collective performance art piece.

Even the affected rivals have taken the initiative to "form an alliance and become sworn brothers".
