[Some people were saying Cang Cang's songs were bad before? Why did they stop saying that?]
[My face probably still hurts, lol]
The fans were practically celebrating. When Ye Cang was attacked online, they united and fought back, almost defeating all the online trolls, because they knew their idol would never let them down.
Sure enough, it had only been an hour or two.
Ye Cang's "face-slapping buff" was activated again, silencing the online trolls and haters.
And watching these forgetful online trolls and haters being mocked and ridiculed is also what the fans love to do most.
Netizens are like the most astute detectives. From the clues revealed by various online trolls and haters, they followed the trail and directly traced it back to several entertainment and record companies in the industry.
Therefore, the reason for the emergence of these trolls and online trolls is self-evident.
Compared to netizens, Shen Huai has a more complete list and evidence.
Although Nick's tweet disrupted his plans, he did not forget what these companies were doing. If he didn't show his abilities, they would really think he was a tiger that didn't roar.

Huayu Records has been having a tough time lately.
In recent years, the record market has shrunk, and although CETV is a leading player in the industry, it has also been significantly affected. Its profit margin has been declining every year, and even the board of directors is starting to feel uneasy.
Huayu Entertainment has also tried many methods. For example, in the past year or two, they have started to discover and cultivate new talents. Otherwise, Tang Ruoyi would not have become a judge on "The Rising Star".
They thought that by condescending to sign with the other party, such a newcomer would immediately agree to sign. However, they did not expect that Ye Cang would not only directly hand them over to the agent, but the agent also made a bunch of conditions.
Although Huayu Records had its eye on Ye Cang, such a large company would not change its rules for such a nobody, even with Tang Ruoyi's strong recommendation.
Otherwise, if we set this precedent, it will be difficult to handle the situation later.
But they didn't expect Ye Cang to be so strong. Ye Cang presented two original songs in the final of "Rising Star" - "The World After Death" and "Long Night", both of which were original works of extremely high quality.
With these two songs, they can no longer charge the same price to recruit Ye Cang.
Just after Huayu Entertainment's top management made a decision to poach Ye Cang at any cost, Ye Cang's new album "Rebirth" was released.
After that, Ye Cang's career took off like a rocket. "Rebirth" broke all sorts of records, and its terrifying sales figures were daunting. Ye Cang went from a newcomer to a household name and a superstar.
At this point, Huayu Entertainment held no appeal whatsoever for Ye Cang.
As for Huayu Entertainment, their attitude has changed from regret to suppression. After all, the status of a talented newcomer and a mature singer with the ability to impact the market are completely different.
But they didn't expect that they would be severely humiliated as soon as they started causing trouble.
The marketing director of Huayu Entertainment was so angry that his eyes almost bled when he saw the screenshot of Nick Garcia's tweet trending on social media.
Even industry experts have acknowledged it, so no matter how hard the haters and online trolls try, no one will believe it!
How the hell are we supposed to cause trouble now?!
Ye Cang didn't have any scandals to begin with. His earlier suicide attempt and confrontation with stalker fans were handled properly. He had only been in the industry for a short time and had been busy producing records since the show ended. Even if he wanted to create something, he couldn't.
Now that a legend like Nick is backing him up, netizens are incredibly excited. Even if they hate Ye Cang to the core, they dare not say anything against him now, otherwise they would be cursed to death by netizens.
The marketing director, holding Ye Cang's file, felt like a hedgehog, completely at a loss for words. Based on his years of experience in the industry, he simply couldn't believe that Ye Cang, with his seemingly clean resume, hadn't received expert guidance behind the scenes.
While the marketing director was having a headache, the upper management of Huayu Entertainment was completely overwhelmed.
A major investment by China Entertainment Group (CEG) was exposed to have resulted in losses, and almost immediately after the news broke, CEG's stock price dropped by two points. Furthermore, this revealed a series of underlying issues, attracting an investigation from relevant authorities.
In an instant, the entire Huayu Entertainment Group was affected and preoccupied with its own problems, leaving it with no energy to stir up trouble.
Besides Huayu, the other entertainment companies and record companies also encountered some problems, so they didn't have time to keep an eye on Ye Cang anymore.
Moreover, they all assumed it was the work of their business rivals and didn't suspect Ye Cang at all.
Shen Huai looked at the financial news with satisfaction and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Let's stop for now."
He then hung up the phone, keeping his achievements hidden.
Shen Huai walked downstairs, while Xue Cheng was busy with two mobile phones in his hand, talking non-stop.
"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry, Ye Cang's schedule is completely full lately..."
"Sister Li, I'm so sorry, this isn't a decision I can make on my own. I'll talk to Brother Shen about it later. Okay, okay, you go ahead with your work..."
"Director Huang, hello, hello. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Ye Cang's schedule is completely full lately, please forgive me..."
Xue Chengge's mouth was dry from talking, and his phone kept ringing.
When he saw Shen Huai, it was as if he had seen a savior: "Brother Shen, please think of something quickly, my phone is about to explode."
Since Nick's tweet went viral, Ye Cang's popularity has soared even higher, forcing Shen Huai to fly back to Zhongjing City with Ye Cang and the others overnight.
As soon as I got off the plane, the missed calls and WeChat messages on my phone almost crashed. All the media outlets were going crazy, because at this time, any interview with Ye Cang, even just a few words, would be big news!
Xue Chengge dared not make the decision herself, so she could only write them all down and leave the decision to Shen Huai.
Shen Huai selected a few well-known media outlets in the industry for interviews and declined all others.
Regarding the overseas release, Shen Huai held an emergency conference call with the company's overseas department overnight and decided to release the digital record overseas ahead of schedule, but the overseas promotion would still be carried out as originally planned after the Golden Melody Awards.
These messages were disseminated to the public as various interview videos were released.
The overseas fans were overjoyed, which also boosted sales of "Rebirth" in China.
