The next day, at noon, there was still a faint fragrance in the quilt. Yu Shuying had only taken a nap for three or four hours last night, but the quilt was already fragrant. As expected...
All beautiful women smell good, of course with some exceptions.
After a simple breakfast, Xiong Ran went online to read reviews.
…
"It's trending now, guys, support it..."
“I can’t support it. Although Ran Ge’s updates have not been deleted, it seems that the traffic has been restricted since the night. Now it is outside the top 20 trending searches. Many people will not open the trending searches unless they are in the top 10, and will not scroll down…”
"It turns out that the masses can't defeat capital. How can such explosive news not maintain its popularity?"
"Qiu Ruixue is a bitch, it's useless to withdraw the search..."
"Supreme! Chen Xing is trash, Qiu Ruixue is a bitch..."
"Enough of the scumbag's water army. They have already hurt my Xiaoxue so much, what else do you want? A husband and wife are bound by grace for a hundred days after being married for a day. Do you really have to keep harping on this..."
"Lese Xiongran, he can even secretly monitor his lover, why doesn't this kind of man just die..."
"Xiong Ran is a scumbag. He is useless but still dragging my Xiaoxue along. If he really loves Xiaoxue, he should have taken the initiative to break up earlier. He has wasted three years of my Xiaoxue's youth. How many three years do women have? What a scumbag..."
"We are not married, we are just in love. He is holding my Xiaoxue hostage and won't break up. Oh my god, how can there be such a scumbag? Please send down a thunderbolt to kill this scumbag..."
"I believe Qiu Ruixue must have broken up with Xiong Ran a long time ago, but Xiong Ran is a scabby boy..."
"This is the truth! He refused to break up with her and ruined Qiu Ruixue's youth and career. What a jerk..."
"The scum bear should die, he is insulting all of humanity while he is alive..."
Phew~
Whoosh~
Xiong Ran took a few long breaths.
No wonder Yu Shuying suggested that he shut down his Weibo last night, because even in the face of irrefutable evidence, there will still be Qiu Ruixue's brainless fans or Chen Xing's hired internet trolls to maliciously control comments, and the trending searches have also been brought down.
Hot search opinions on Weibo are weapons of capital, and people tell lies with open eyes without any conscience.
Although there are still many people who make rational comments and even support him as the male victim, they feel powerless when the search is withdrawn and they are accused of commenting again.
No one can remain indifferent when being maliciously abused.
The more I watch, the angrier I get. It's best to turn a blind eye.
"Fuck, reality is beyond our control..."
A helpless sigh flashed through Xiong Ran's mind. How could he have the money and power to fight against the capital? Chen Xing didn't even need to threaten him. He just needed to control the weapon of public opinion. If it didn't work in one or two days, after three or five days, public opinion would naturally be able to completely whitewash the Internet and expose its ignorance.
Brainless fans, internet trolls, time-sensitive spectators, etc. are destined to be weak and have no money and power, and will be beaten.
The victim deserves what he gets when what was reasonable becomes unreasonable.
Um
Suddenly, the phone buzzed with an incoming call.
Xiong Ran swiped to answer the call and his eyes fixed for a moment.
…
"Mr. Xiong, what do you think?"
At lunch time, in a private room of a specialty restaurant not far from Xiong Ran’s residential area, a charming lady with long hair, casual clothes, and black-framed glasses on her nose, Qin Xiaojing, the director of the public relations department of Hongtu Entertainment, asked.
Xiong Ran remained silent. The woman wanted the full video in his hand about Qiu Ruixue cheating on Zhao Shiqi, and promised to help him with all her strength on the Internet.
"You have seen the current situation. Without us helping you to control the search and comments behind the scenes, your revelations have never been able to make it into the top 20. Even the comment section has been gradually taken over by Chen Xing's troll army. This is reality..."
"It's very expensive to maintain search and control reviews, and we can't always help for free. Giving us the video is the most suitable win-win situation. Why not do it?"
"Or do you want to sell it at a high price?"
Xiong Ran shook his head. He had never thought of offering a price for it. Besides, this kind of video could not be sold. After all, the girl was his ex-girlfriend and could not be shown to others.
As a man, you should have a bottom line.
"Sorry, I won't sell the video!"
"Hmm? Xiong Ran, you have thought it through..."
Qin Xiaojing pushed up her glasses and said in surprise, "Chenxing has already downgraded its search results and controlled its comments today, which means that it will not apologize to you. The only way you can fight back is to use the video to exchange for our help..."
"After all, you terminated your contract with Chenxing early, and you cannot sign with any entertainment company to debut within ten years. Besides, your personal status is not worth much, so wake up."
"If you keep the video secret and don't use it, Chen Xing won't be grateful. Instead, it will always be a hidden danger."
"If you give it to us, Chen Xing's eyes will no longer be fixed on you, and you will have peace from now on..."
"Otherwise, there are many uncertainties in the future..."
Xiong Ran still shook his head. He would rather delete all the videos in his hand than sell them to others. Hongtu, as Chenxing's old rival, is not a good guy either. They are not without despicable means in business. Not to mention the second brother, he is the eldest brother.
Moreover, although having the video in hand alone is a hidden danger, it is also a guarantee and a layer of protection.
Even a rabbit bites when it is angry. Chen Xing is not entirely stupid.
"Okay, if you change your mind, contact me..."
Qin Xiaojing saw that Xiong Ran was a bit stubborn, so she simply stopped forcing him and decided to let it go and talk about it later. When this kid was overwhelmed by the online public opinion, hehe...
You can't be an indecisive and nice person at any time. Reality is not an ivory tower utopia!
After bumps and bruises, and pain, you will eventually compromise.
…
Qin Xiaojing left, Xiong Ran also returned home, Chen Xing did not send anyone to harass her anymore, and he continued to control comments and set the tone on the Internet without the need for real threats.
Lowering search results and controlling comments without apologizing is Chen Xing’s answer. Xiong Ran is not qualified to make capital compromise.
"Thank you, no need..."
"Thank you, never mind..."
After hanging up the phone again, Xiong Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He had received seven or eight calls in the past afternoon. Some of them were Weibo intermediaries asking whether they wanted to buy trending searches, while others were entertainment companies wanting to leak videos for win-win cooperation.
Looking at Chen Xing's whitewashing hot posts and seeing my own comment section being gradually conquered, to be honest, it is impossible not to be angry, but I feel helpless and powerless.
"Brothers, we can't stand it anymore..."
"We have one post, and the other side has more than ten. The Chenxing water army is too powerful. It's really infuriating..."
"Get lost, Qiu Ruixue's brainless fans. Your goddess is a bitch, and you're still f**king licking her..."
"Brother Ran, we tried our best. It's not that we didn't do our best, it's that the enemy was too shameless. The tap water couldn't stop the hired water army. Fuck it..."
It is basically impossible to regain public opinion without external help and force, Xiong Ran understood this clearly.
But as long as there is value, everything is possible.
As long as you have value beyond expectations, capital such as Hongtu will continue to invest or extend an olive branch.
There is no need to sell videos to seek cooperation. As long as the method is right, you can turn the situation from unfavorable to favorable. You just need to bow to reality and make a half compromise.
There is nothing wrong with fighting back, and the anger has been vented. That’s enough, and it’s time to put an end to this turmoil.
"Go ahead and curse. The more people come, the better..."
With a changed mindset, Xiong Ran looked at his comment section collapsing and then looked at the number of fans that had exceeded one million and was still gradually climbing, and smiled.
Black fans are also fans, it just depends on how many they can be converted.
However, before the compromise comes to an end, we need to add another fire, a fire that is both critical and tolerant of grievances, and also a fire of talent.
Although the song "Mistress" is quite popular on the Internet, it is too vulgar and ultimately inappropriate.
Then let’s sing a graceful song “Over the Top”!
The classics also occupy morality, which is very suitable for transition.
