Chapter 89
The various fan groups of Nan XiangWan in the south were already frantically discussing this issue.
Should they scold?
Scold or not?
Scold or not scold?
Any directions from the big bricks?
They wanted to scold!
But they didn't want to attract antis for their beloved Nan XiangWan!
She's still a newbie...
How to handle things going forward, the bricks can't be impulsive, need to be orderly!
Soon -
[Nan XiangWan Large Brick Exclusive Group]
'Group Leader: Regarding Jian Ya's plagiarism of Nan XiangWan's lion costume, all group members mobilize! Get justice! Boycott plagiarism!'
'Group 1 received!'
'Group 2 received!'
'Group 3 received!'
'...''
Gu Beihuai put down his phone after assigning the tasks, he wouldn't get involved after that.
As the brick leader, his job wasn't to personally get off his horse, but to give the signal to act at the critical moment!
...
Fifteen rounds of performances, going through them one by one, still haven't drawn Nan XiangWan.
Sha Ling had been frowning uncomfortably ever since seeing Jian Ya's costume.
Nan XiangWan was leisurely, snacking and checking Weibo occasionally.
So she saw the scolding war on Weibo.
Jian Ya's personal Weibo already had over ten thousand scolding comments.
At a glance, all were bricks!
Comments:
Brick, where are you? Come kill the dog!!!
Group 1 bricks in position, sisters start scolding! Plagiarizing dog! Plagiarizing dog! Plagiarizing dog! Dog dog dog dog dog!
Jian Ya you slyly plagiarized a good costume! Dog dog dog dog dog!
Roll roll roll roll roll out of the industry! Dog dog dog dog dog!
Bricks generally don't look for trouble, but sorry this time, the brick leader has spoken, screw you! Dog dog dog dog dog!
Jian Ya your mom exploded! Dog dog dog dog dog!
If I don't scold you to death today I'm not a keyboard warrior!
The rat shit the show spoke of is you!
...
Nan XiangWan silently watched, then couldn't resist.
Comment:
Nan XiangWan: [doge]
In an instant, her comment shot to first place.
Soon, 100,000 likes!
Below were a bunch of bricks passionately replying.
The main character herself made an implication, scold away!
Bricks march! Scorched earth!
Soon.
Monica far away in Paris drinking coffee noticed the commotion.
She opened Weibo and logged in.
Left a comment under Jian Ya's Weibo.
Monica: Plagiarism? Did you buy rights to my design? Didn't even change it?
Wow!
The original costume designer came!
Instantly, the bricks scolded even more fiercely!
They even got Jian Ya trending in the top 10 hot search.
This was the closest Jian Ya had gotten to trending since joining the show!
...
Cheng Xue sat in her office controlling her mouse, lightly clicking to send a document.
Then she watched the online opinion explosion.
She started timing!
Let the bullets fly for ten more minutes.
At the moment when the scolding was most intense, hottest, and had the most onlookers.
Whoosh!
Suddenly a message shot up the hot search.
Pictures, videos, containing massive risqué information.
[South-North Entertainment Trainee Jian Ya Goes to a Hotel with Manager Shi Wei]
The post viciously emphasized 'South-North Entertainment'!
The video showed Jian Ya arriving at the hotel entrance in a South-North Entertainment car!
The two spent a night together at the hotel!
There was even hotel surveillance showing them passionately kissing in the elevator!
Whether pictures or videos, they were clear as day, even capturing the mole on Jian Ya's neck!
As soon as this came out.
It immediately shot up the hot search rankings.
The bricks frantically spammed 'out of the industry' under Jian Ya's Weibo.
Some even went to manager Shi Wei's Weibo to scold together.
Using connections to get benefits, how can you let the other trainees in the company bear it!
If this circle continues driven by such methods, how chaotic will it become!
What about those with skill but no opportunity?
Scold!!!
Under public pressure.
Manager Shi Wei immediately posted an apology Weibo, saying he was temporarily confused.
Normally this kind of manager-trainee scandal wouldn't require the whole company to respond.
But this time the video emphasized 'South-North Entertainment' so heavily.
Casually inserting 'South-North Entertainment' repeatedly left viewers subconsciously remembering.
A wave of negative South-North Entertainment impressions!
So South-North Entertainment headquarters held an emergency meeting over a single trainee.
A meeting over a trainee was also a first.
Next, South-North Entertainment's PR team immediately acted!
Firing those who should be fired, freezing out those who should be.
The show that invested in her also had to act.
...
In the waiting room.
Jian Ya and her teammates were speechless after getting off stage.
After their stage ended, there was no applause, the hosts had no smiles.
Even the mentors criticized on site!
Jian Ya didn't know how she got back to the waiting room, she knew she had screwed up.
But why?
Didn't the audience like it?
She performed according to the audience's preferences, but got negative reviews!
She better have some water and calm down.
Suddenly two staff members came in and brought her out.
All the way to the entrance.
They stuffed her confiscated pre-debut phone into her hands.
Followed by the avalanche of negative news!
Plagiarism! Using connections!
Everything was exposed at once!
She blankly looked at the online commentary, while the staff quickly gathered her things and put them to the side.
Staff: "Trainee Jian Ya, you violated the contract we signed initially, seriously damaging the show's reputation, we have no choice but to..."
"Ah!!!" Jian Ya screamed and crouched on the ground holding her head.
Her life was ruined!
Jian Ya's sudden dismissal moved as swiftly as a rocket launch throughout South-North Entertainment.
Even the show's official account posted a statement.
Stating Jian Ya would no longer appear in future recordings, and previous show footage and videos with her would be temporarily taken down, blurred, and reposted.
Debut! Trainee! is a positive energy show!
It absolutely won't allow artists with any negative news!
...
Cheng Xue happily closed her laptop.
Glanced at her phone.
Sure enough, Lang Hu was furious!
'Lang Hu: Pretty capable, even got hotel surveillance? A mere trainee, worth you pulling this big line to malign South-North?'
'Lang Hu: Set on taking down South-North huh!'
'Cheng Xue: You weren't careful yourself, blaming me?'
'Lang Hu: First plagiarism, then connections, quite a hand you have! Overwhelming!'
'Cheng Xue: She really brought it on herself. I was wondering how to give South-North's scandal traction, didn't expect her to trend for plagiarism! Such perfect timing and conditions, how could I not utilize it?'
'Lang Hu: Good! Very ruthless!'
'Cheng Xue: Still, South-North is amazing! Pushing someone like this!'
'Lang Hu: You wait, your people have dirty laundry too! Don't let me find any handles!'
'Cheng Xue: Waiting for your counterattack!'
