I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Because he had to ensure the update was completed and the show was recorded the next day, Cheng Che did not stay up late and maintained his usual routine, going to bed early.

But Xiaotang didn't sleep.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tang Moumou seems to have been influenced by Cheng Che and doesn't seem to have any proper conduct. When it comes to being an assistant, she is 200% qualified.

Cheng Che will be busy tomorrow and won't be able to stay up all night monitoring online opinions, so this responsibility naturally falls on her shoulders.

Although Cheng Che didn't ask for it, she still took the initiative to take it on.

If the enemy makes a sudden move in the dead of night, and the enemy doesn't discover it until dawn, then it might be too rushed to prepare.

really.

November 26th, exactly midnight.

The "Scholar Wenyuan," who had remained silent the day before, now sounded the horn of attack.

He wrote a lengthy essay of over a thousand words—

"Recently, many people have asked why Wen Yuan keeps mentioning a certain young man who started out in online literature. It's not that I have any grudge against this person, it's just that I have to speak out about this person and his deeds."

"Let's take this opportunity to sort out everything about 'Zero'."

Next, "Scholar Wenyuan" recounted Cheng Che's past and present deeds one by one.

It all started a few months ago when Cheng Che participated in a science fiction short story competition jointly organized by the website and the Shanghai Writers Association.

This includes his refusal to attend an awards ceremony because he was recording a TV program, pioneering the practice of online novelists writing live, and openly asking readers to send him money in individual chapters...

Until yesterday, with that video that caused such a stir.

He said that perhaps Zero has some talent, but does his meager talent really deserve everything he has achieved today?

Having only made his mark on the internet for less than two years, he has already become the so-called "Emperor of Online Literature".

With a huge following, whether it's publishing an online article, singing a new song on a variety show, or even visiting a so-called "friend" on set, it can all make it to the top of the trending searches.

Many people in the literary and music worlds spend their entire lives trying to reach this point, but he achieved it effortlessly before he was even twenty-four years old.

He also said that he had criticized Cheng Che for being arrogant and for embracing fan culture, but what was wrong with those remarks?

As a literary creator, he preferred to participate in variety shows rather than attend award ceremonies organized by the official writers' association; as a celebrity in the entertainment industry, he failed to control his fans, and recent events are blatant evidence of this.

He added that yesterday's events were particularly absurd, with someone actually comparing an online novel to traditional classics and even belittling those classics to nothing.

Admittedly, that online novel has many merits—its writing style is ornate and its descriptions are exquisite—but ultimately it lacks depth. To use this to belittle a monument in literary history is truly pathetic and lamentable…

"When I wrote this at night, I was surprised to find that this young friend seemed to have caused a bad influence in the music industry as well."

So I paused my writing to find out more, and was astonished to discover that this "Emperor of Online Literature" was actually a graduate of a music academy.

A young musical prodigy, fresh out of music academy, didn't join an entertainment company after graduation. Instead, he ventured into the online novel world and became the "supreme figure" in just one year.

Then, by chance, he joined a variety show and inadvertently became an overnight sensation thanks to his musical talent, humorous persona, and "friendship" with a female celebrity, thus becoming a regular on the trending topics list...

He's only twenty-three years old this year.

The article ends here.

Xiao Tang suddenly understood.

She understood the enemy's entire plan.

First of all, Cheng Che's fan base mainly consists of book fans, fans of the "Sweet Orange" couple, and fans who like his singing and his witty remarks.

Among them, the book fan group is the most unbreakable and extremely difficult to shake.

Because most book fans only care about reading the book. As long as the book is of good quality, they will continue reading. They generally don't care too much about the author's personal style.

The enemy clearly understood this as well, so they never maliciously belittled "Dragon Raja," but instead praised it generously. They only used "Dragon Raja" to put down other works, thereby damaging Cheng Che's public image.

But damaging his public image is just a prelude; the real target of the enemy is Cheng Che's CP fans and his personal fans.

To achieve this goal, public opinion must be guided to make everyone believe that Cheng Che's success today is not due to "chance" but rather to "meticulous planning".

I believe it was no coincidence that he was chosen as an ordinary person, that his performance on the show was not unintentional, and that his relationship with Tian Xiwei was also a publicity stunt. He may have talent, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as he is showing now.

In particular, he needed to convince everyone that Cheng Che was cunning and that his character might not be as it seemed...

Xiao Tang was filled with amazement.

To get rid of Che-ge and get a piece of the cake, this enemy team really went all out! They must have lost so many brain cells!

Those people in the entertainment industry are all black-hearted and cunning!

Compared to them, even Old Wang next door seemed like a greenhorn.

Yesterday's video and the revelation, coupled with Wen Yuan's article, have made a significant impact.

These three moves have dealt a blow to the casual observers who were annoyed by Cheng Che's "fans" over the past few weeks, other book fans and music lovers who like to see their works being compared and criticized, and haters who simply dislike Cheng Che...

Perhaps we should also include Tian Xiwei's die-hard fans; various forces began to gather in the comment section of "Wenyuan Scholar".

Making it to the trending topics list is obviously not a big problem.

But... Xiao Tang frowned slightly.

That's not enough, is it?

Cheng Che's public image has soured, and many people have begun to suspect that there might be something fishy about his sudden rise to fame.

But it feels like it's not nearly enough!

After all, no matter how eloquently "Scholar Wenyuan" spoke, he ultimately had no evidence.

Well, besides, his reputation online is actually quite bad, and he doesn't have much credibility...

……

……

At 7:30 a.m., the sun rose in the east.

Cheng Che ate breakfast while listening to Xiao Tang's report on the events of the previous night.

"So you stayed up all night because you were worried about what other big moves they might make?"

Cheng Che looked at Panda Tang sitting opposite him and asked.

"Yes." Xiao Tang said, bewildered.

Staying up all night unexpectedly can be a bit much.

"I'm almost moved to tears." Cheng Che was so touched he almost cried. "I have to give you a raise this month!"

"Go back to sleep. I'll keep an eye on things online myself."

Xiao Tang nodded and left in a daze.

Cheng Che opened Weibo while eating breakfast.

Xiao Tang's analysis was basically the same as his; they both felt that the other party was probably hiding some killer move...

Cheng Che vaguely realized something at this moment and clicked on the "Wenyuan Scholar" homepage.

He refreshed the page and suddenly froze.

Then he laughed.

Because Cheng Che was surprised to discover—

The other party deleted the Weibo post from the early morning.

It even seems that they deleted all their previous comments targeting Cheng Che.

Then, the page refreshed and a new post appeared:

@Scholar Wenyuan:

"The statements made about Zero these past two days were actually misunderstandings."

I admire Zero.
