[Some people are utterly unworthy of their positions; how can they be celebrities? Not only do they fail to restrain their fans' behavior, but they also foster and indulge them in self-serving schemes, disregarding legal and moral boundaries. Such cancerous "celebrities" must be severely punished!]
[Let's be frank, stop using "Bai" in announcements! Bai Chen inexplicably left the entertainment industry, and his fans went crazy, telling everyone that Xiao Cheng had connections and was trying to climb over him, which is why they blacklisted their idol! I don't believe these rumors didn't reach Bai Chen's ears. Instead of standing up to clarify the rumors and restrain his fans, he let the public opinion fester and lead to this terrible outcome. Regardless of his reason for leaving the industry, I hope he is completely blacklisted!]
This matter quickly escalated from entertainment news to a hot social topic. The public, who had long been disgusted by celebrities' brainwashing tactics and their organization of fans to fight for them, not only voiced their opinions collectively but also demanded that relevant departments take action to rectify the chaos!
Meanwhile, paparazzi, seizing the opportunity presented by a trending social topic, released freshly taken photos: [A popular young actor and the CEO of Jiasheng Entertainment head to their love nest]
He was secretly waiting to ignite another trending topic, but when he refreshed Weibo, bright red notifications instantly overwhelmed him:
[Get lost, you stupid paparazzi]
I'm truly amazed that someone so far away could be the target of such rumors.
[Is it okay to take your best friend to stay in a high-end residential area with strong security after they receive personal threats? Haven't you ever stayed at a friend's house before?]
Can't these idiots who try to ride the coattails of trending social topics even get paid?
The paparazzi was utterly bewildered... He couldn't believe that with such overwhelming evidence, anyone would still think this was just ordinary brotherhood?
Do these two really look so upright and honest? The paparazzo rubbed his eyes; no matter how he looked at them, he felt there was definitely something wrong with them!
However, due to the overwhelming public outcry, the paparazzi couldn't withstand the criticism and had to delete the exposé on Weibo. But this only strengthened his rebellious resolve to stay abreast of the headlines—"I will definitely catch you red-handed!"
No one has ever escaped my watchful eye!
On the other hand, Cheng Xuelan, who only wanted to make a public statement and never expected the popularity to be so phenomenal, said: "These two must have some kind of mystical power."
She opened Zhang Baiwan's super topic with a sense of existential unease, and sure enough, everyone in the super topic was screaming.
[Even just driving a friend home costs millions, and this kind of mess happens. I really hope they are severely punished.]
[Ideally, there would be a satisfying ending like a story about a wealthy family taking heavy responsibility for bullying others... This person is just too vicious!]
[And that Bai Chen, he's really good at using witchcraft. How did he brainwash them to the point that he even got his fans to throw acid on them? Isn't that tantamount to hiring someone to commit violence?]
[For some reason, this guy is treating a high-society figure like a lawbreaker... Is his management team having a major headache right now, haha?]
Cheng Xuelan: You're really clever, you are.
She closed the super topic with a pained expression, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and impulsively searched for Qiuyue's super topic again.
What followed was even more excruciating, comparable to a passionate disco dance on her public relations red line.
Sisters, didn't you all notice something?
[The laxative worked! I can taste it now, and I'm having diarrhea like crazy!]
[Everyone who knows, knows!]
[That rumor from today is probably true! My favorite couple must be real!]
[I wonder when this riddle-solving game will end... Hurry up and reveal the secret so we don't have to use code words anymore, sob sob]
@White-browed Hero: "It's definitely true! The pairing is real, I'm going to spend money again!"
Grandpa Ji wrote down his promise of love word by word, each character resounding with conviction... It will definitely come true! I am the fan with the strongest spending power in the entire super topic!
After all, I spent 500 million on my favorite pairing!
Grandpa Ji left the super topic with satisfaction, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
⚹
Cheng Xuelan and Grandpa Ji's timely departure from the super topic can be considered a timely way to cut their losses.
Because by the time Zhang Chaohe finished his late-night snack, took a walk, went home to wash up and rest, and lay in bed preparing to browse the super topic before going to sleep, he discovered that his super topic had become as infiltrated as the Central Anti-Organized Crime Task Force... possibly even containing various undercover operations.
And it is filled with all sorts of very positive and very Marxist-style speeches?
For example, the most popular Weibo post on the square right now reads: "@Chestnut: Sisters, look at the evidence I collected by infiltrating Bai Chen's fan group!"
Attached image: [@BaiChen: Babies, take a look at this: "The Theory of Cause and Effect," "Retribution is Inevitable and Heaven's Justice is Manifested," "The Husband's Role as the Wife's Guide in (Red Mane Fiery Steed)"].jpg;
I reasonably suspect that Bai Mouchen is using the guise of promoting traditional Peking Opera culture to spread and advocate feudal superstition!
Zhang Chaohe: Huh??
The comments below are also very positive:
Oh no, would any celebrity really dare to forward an article with such obvious feudal superstitious ideas in a group chat with thousands of people?
[Even the play "The Embroidered Purse" was banned in the early days of the People's Republic of China because it promoted the theory of cause and effect... How could he dare to release it at such a time?]
"@Kunyu: And this too—Bai Chen publicly called on fans to join the 'Baoxiang Peking Opera Association,' and even charged an 85 yuan membership fee. What kind of association is this? Does it have any relevant qualifications or certifications? I suggest that the relevant departments thoroughly investigate this association. Even if it's not some kind of cult, doesn't this involve illegal fundraising?"
Are they crazy for money? They actually dare to charge membership fees!
This must be thoroughly investigated!
I've already called to report it (smile)
Most of the wives were astonished, they didn't know until they checked, and what they found was shocking—the fans really do follow in their idols' footsteps!
Although Bai Chen is intricately linked to the acid-throwing incident, we remain legally powerless against him. The perpetrators who aided and abetted the crime have been apprehended, but the so-called celebrities who used propaganda are still at large, only subject to moral condemnation! Tonight's actions have shown us that the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with us… Bai Chen will definitely pay the real price for his other actions!
[Yes! As public figures, they should have higher moral standards than ordinary people! They earn high salaries but don't think about how to contribute to society; instead, they use their fame to profit and spread feudalistic ideas. Go to jail!]
[The rule of law has already taken decisive and forceful action, family members!]
[Law Enforcement Goose, Strike Hard! (Shouting)]
Zhang Chaohe asked again: Huh??
What kind of socialist successors are my fans?
A note from the author:
Goose: Huh? Why have I become a law-breaking figure?
Paparazzi (staking out): I'm sure I'll be able to find it!
Xiao Cheng, laughing as he watched the paparazzi staking out the area: Hehe;
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 66
Bai Chen had never thought that life could be so fucking outrageous.
Overnight, a "sulphuric acid attack case" suddenly emerged, and the online sentiment turned against him, almost turning him into a homeless dog.
Bai Chen gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "That's fine too—just insist that this has nothing to do with me, and let me be scolded! Anyway, the internet has no memory. When I successfully take down Boss Zhang and return to the entertainment industry, I can just use a couple of dramas to clear my name!"
However, the next day, he suddenly discovered that Weibo had deleted his account; at the same time, he also received a notice to assist in the investigation - the police said that his "Baoxiang Peking Opera Club" was suspected of illegally raising more than 500,000 yuan.
Bai Chen was practically dumbfounded: "..."
He grew up in a theatrical troupe, and after gaining fame, he abandoned his family-run workshop and signed a contract with his previous company. His agent worked so hard to promote him that he felt they were in the same boat, so he listened to everything his agent said.
Baoxiang Peking Opera Club was controlled by his agent—he didn't even need to personally collect money; extra money kept flowing into his account.
Now the police are telling him that it's illegal for Baoxiang Peking Opera Association to charge membership fees. Bai Chen feels like he's been stumped, looking bewildered: "But they didn't tell me that..."
“We will consider the circumstances,” the police officer said gently. “We need to understand the specific situation from you further before making a decision.”
While Bai Chen was at the police station, Zhang Chaohe had already acquired a new nickname: "Zhang the Millionaire Lawbreaker"—when Boss Zhang is on the move, any criminal will be wiped out!
Everyone thought this was outrageous. One second they were lamenting that "it seems like they can't punish the celebrities who are backing the villains," and the next second Zhang Baiwan used the hammer of the law to dig the person out of the mud and send him to the police station.
What's even more terrifying are the millions of wives, who are incredibly disciplined and swift in their actions. They uphold the bottom line of the law and strive to be successors of socialism!
Just a few days later, the police announced that Bai Chen was involved in an illegal fundraising case and issued a serious warning to everyone in the entertainment industry to cherish their reputation and not to cross the legal line for personal gain. Shortly after, state media praised Zhang Chaohe by name and even stamped him as a high-quality idol of the new era.
Zhang Chaohe: "??"
Does anyone still remember me as a capitalist who exploited his employees to make money at all costs?
I don't want to be an idol, I want to make money!
Friends sent their congratulations one after another, and even Zhang Xijing said with a sour tone: "I won the Best Actor award, but the official media did not praise me as a high-quality idol."
“Let’s reflect on this,” Li Yimao said quietly, “Why is it that even with the entire company combined, the CEO still managed to receive the honor of being a ‘good idol’… Ha!”
Many netizens, eager for a good spectacle, flocked to Zhang Chaohe's Weibo to shower him with compliments, then asked, "So, Mr. Zhang, the outstanding idol praised by official media, would you be willing to donate one million yuan so that everyone can share in the joy?"
Zhang Chaohe: Zhang Chaohe posted weakly on Weibo: "Can we wait until the collaboration outfit is announced in a couple of days and then do a draw together? I haven't made much money lately."
Not long after, bored netizens took revenge and made the hashtag #BossZhangSaysHeIsOutOfMoney# trend on social media.
【Huh? Can't you guys reflect on why Mr. Zhang isn't making money?】
[This isn't our fault, son! Where are your games? Your shows, your movies, your clothes, your random collaborations and other products? Get them out there already!]
[Didn't you say you had clothes? Here's the link, bro! Come to my live stream and I'll sell out your stock instantly!]
[Brother Million, please use your pink fan site account soon!! I'll tip you every day, waaaaah!]
Even Jiang's assistant couldn't bear it, so he personally called Xiao Zhang to tell him that they actually made money... It was Jiasheng that had been losing money on the investment, while Tongsheng Hengfeng, which was doing venture capital, had made money.
Hearing this made Zhang Chaohe even more distressed, and he turned around and went to retaliate by asking Jiang's assistant's boyfriend, Li Yimao, why he hadn't made any money.
Li Yimao answered cautiously, "I made a profit! My previous single even broke Xu Shen's single sales record..." He suddenly raised his voice, "Mr. Zhang, you haven't even heard my songs before, have you?!"
Zhang Chaohe feigned ignorance: "Huh? How could that be?"
Li Yimao sang a section on the spot, and Zhang Chaohe actually subconsciously responded!
Li Yimao was relatively satisfied: "At least you've heard of it."
Zhang Chaohe trembled and dared not speak—this song was so popular that it could be heard everywhere, even when he went to buy an ice cream, he could hear children running and singing it.
Is this also a money-making machine for Gain Capital?
Just when Zhang Chaohe had gotten used to everyone urging him to hurry up and release products to make money, Assistant Chen came to visit with a serious expression. As soon as he came in, he handed Zhang Chaohe a folder. When Zhang Chaohe opened it, he found that it was a variety show called "The Distant Place of Dreams".
Zhang Chaohe tilted his head, signaling Assistant Chen to explain. Assistant Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Congratulations on being selected by CCTV."
Zhang Chaohe: "?"
Assistant Chen looked very sad: "Whether you want to go or not, you have to go. This is a cultural and tourism program supported by the state and hosted by CCTV. The guest group will conduct in-depth visits to some impoverished townships that have been supported by the state in recent years, as well as newly developed characteristic eco-tourism areas."
Zhang Chaohe felt that this variety show was indeed quite meaningful, but he didn't quite understand why he had to participate—only to hear Assistant Chen explain: "Because Chairman Zhang previously donated money to build roads in a county called Guyunhe in southern Yunnan, and also developed an eco-cultural tourism route to boost the economy..."
"Guyunhe County was selected by the program team. Considering Chairman Zhang's donations in recent years, CCTV specifically requested that you participate in the program recording."
