Chapter 126 – Self-Exposure

If there was no accident, Xu Jian’s “Chaotic Steps and Flying Sword” which played the second male lead, will be broadcast before “He and His Violin”, which played the male lead. But don’t know what was the issue with “Chaotic Steps and Flying Sword” the drama has been under pressure, and Xu Jian has finished another play without waiting for the news about its release date.

Actors only get paid for filming. The actors have no right to interfere when and on which platform the drama will be broadcast. Many dramas have no follow-up after filming, and they don’t know if they will be broadcast in the end.

“Chaotic Steps” was being held back, while the well-funded “Violin” successfully entered the promotion period first, and it was scheduled to be released at the end of the year when the winter vacation was in high demand.

As soon as the promotional posters of the male lead Xu Jian and the co-male lead Qin Chen came out, the Internet was very lively. Everyone talked about Xu Jian’s background—

To be able to jump from a small supporting role in “The Slayer” to the male lead, Qin Chen was still a supporting character.

The speed of riding a rocket was nothing more than that, right?

The official blog tried its best to induce the two male leads from the posters and publicity, but they couldn’t stand the explosive mentality of Qin Chen’s fans. The fans unanimously believed that their gege was squeezed by the company and was forced to support the newcomer. This made Xu Jian step on their gege’s shoulder to get to the top.

Although Xu Jian’s acting skills have been recognized by the public, his resources are so good that it was difficult for the people not to care.

Laymen talked about the deep background of the golden master, and insiders were envious and jealous.

Particularly the actors of the same age as Xu Jian in Leyu Company have some resentment towards the company and him in their hearts.

Why does he have so many resources when we’re sitting on the bench? Is he the chairman’s own son?

Therefore, since the announcement of the poster, online public opinion has been one-sided. Most of them were questioning Xu Jian’s qualifications, which was also mixed with the angry speeches of Qin Chen’s fans.

Of course, we can’t rule out those who thought that if the current momentum continued, Xu Jian would become a stumbling block, an actor who stands in the way, and someone fishing in troubled waters. The bought water army deliberately guided to blacken Xu Jian.

Xu Jian didn’t have many fans, and his CP fan status was sensitive. In the crusade of everyone, the voice speaking for him seemed extremely weak, and he was quickly submerged in comments.

The comments online made Xu Jian dare not go to Weibo. Qin Chen wanted to speak for him, but Pan Min stopped him.

Pan Min, who had expected this situation a long time ago, was very calm.

“Every popular star in this situation will basically go through this once. Now that if you stand up and help speak for Xu Jian, you can indeed block a small number of people’s mouths, but this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It’s likely to make people feel that it’s the company’s instructions, and I’m afraid it will be counterproductive.”

Qin Chen frowned after hearing this. He was good at filming, but he wasn’t as good as Pan Min in crisis public relations.

In the end, Leyu’s public relations team went out and controlled public opinion at noon the next day.

…………

Soon “He and His Violin” was broadcast on Cherry Station. With the role of the talented violin actor in the play, Xu Jian became a hit. Every time the episode was updated, the topics related to him could be seen on the hot searches. The number of Weibo fans was increasing day by day, gradually approaching ten million.

Because of the interaction between him and Qin Chen in the drama, the ‘QingJian’ CP also ushered in the peak of its development and growth. Because the CP fan base was full, Xiao Nan opened one after another.

When the look of “Violin” was very good, several families were happy and several were sad. Some regarded Xu Jian as a fierce enemy, and some regarded him as a thorn in their eyes.

Especially Qin Chen’s fans. Whenever the two interacted, they can’t help but howl in private.

The shameless Xu Jian was rubbing gege’s heat again!

Chen-ge was forced to do business again!

Xu Jian, who was wandering in Qin Chen’s fan base, can often be seen being scolded in the group for losing more than he received,^[1]They were saying that XJ was paying more than he received. clinging to Qin Chen, disgusting and other words.

Xu Jian, who was filming during the day, had to accompany Qin Chen to sleep at night. Sometimes he had to become a cat to satisfy a certain someone with severe plush control. Xu Jian was very aggrieved. He thought about typing and speaking in the group several times.

You may not believe it when you I say it, but the one who has to hug me to sleep, clings to me every day, and almost made my tail go bald, is exactly the bullied gege in your mouths…

No matter how much Qin Chen’s fans and some people didn’t like it, Xu Jian’s popularity was a fact. In the era of big data, background traffic data cannot be fake.

Xu Jian became popular too quickly, and he became popular about him.

Fans say that he has been honing his sword for ten years and that the Heavens rewarded him for his hard work.

The marketing account said that he had failed, and it was a textbook counterattack.

Insiders in the industry said that he was lucky to meet Qin Chen, a high-ranking person.

The black fan said that he bent his waist to a golden master who was bald with a beer belly.

There was everything to say for a while, and there were many good idlers who began to pick up Xu Jian’s past, trying to pick out one or two black spots from it but found nothing.

Xu Jian didn’t even smoke, so they couldn’t start at all.

With the broadcast of “He and His Violin”, Xu Jian’s worth has also risen. Invitations for cooperation such as endorsements, announcements, and scripts have poured in, and his popularity has soared rapidly.

Gradually, Qin Chen’s fans became more dissatisfied with Xu Jian. They felt that if it weren’t for Qin Chen, the drama “Violin” would never have exploded. Now, everyone talks more about Xu Jian when talking about this drama.

Qin Chen’s fans felt that their gege had been ignored. They were naturally unconvinced that Xu Jian, a newcomer, had robbed them of the limelight.

So some fans spontaneously brushed the topic of #Heartache for Qin Chen#, saying that he was making wedding dresses for others, oppressed by the company, and someone with a golden master was ungrateful, and they were about to jump above Qin Chen, who had profound qualifications.

There are many fans of Qin Chen, and the topic of #Heartache for Qin Chen# was quickly brushed into a hot topic and was looking to become a trending topic.

Unable to let things go on like this, Qin Chen frowned when he saw this topic, and boarded Weibo to refute a few words.

Pan Min suddenly asked, “What do you want to do?”

Qin Chen looked at her when he heard the words, that means—What do you think?

After understanding Qin Chen’s eyes, Pan Min shook her head disapprovingly. “Your fans are upset for you. If you do this, it will chill their hearts.”

At that time, Qin Chen might not have pleased both ends, causing a large-scale unfollowing of his fans.

Seeing Qin Chen’s unsightly complexion, Pan Min’s tone softened a bit. “Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted someone to delete the topic, so it won’t make a splash.”

Xu Jian also felt that Qin Chen didn’t need this muddy water, so he quickly nodded to the side and said to him. “The netizen’s emotions now can easily be induced by public opinion. It will be fine in a few days.”

Hearing their words, Qin Chen was silent for a few seconds and finally shook his head. “Who said that if I speak up for you, it will definitely chill the fans’ hearts?”

Pan Min looked up at his expression, with a faint foreboding in her heart. She looked at him cautiously, “What do you want to do?”

Qin Chen didn’t actually do anything, he just posted a Weibo.

Qin Chen v: I’m fine, and @Xu Jian is also fine. Before @Leyu Culture Co., Ltd. closed down or changed its boss, no one in the company bullied me. Don’t worry, everyone.

The topic was deleted, and the fans who received a reminder of a special notification looked at Qin Chen’s Weibo, and the emotional fans almost didn’t shed tears on the spot—

It’s all like this now and gege actually comforted us in turn.

Spicy chicken^[2]It means gargabe/trash Leyu is too much. After sucking blood, we have to let our gege come out and explain the whitewashing. The look on gege’s pretending to look happy is so painful wuwuwu.

As a result of working hard for so many years, he had to work with a newcomer. Chen-ge must’ve been very sad and wronged. Bully me. Chen-ge’s dog money company, hurry up and go bankrupt!

While opening Weibo, they scolded Leyu and Xu Jian in their heart. The fans clicked on the comment area and just wanted to comfort Qin Chen with a few words when they saw that the top commenter was Leyu who was scolded by them and should doubt their lives, Leyu Official Blog.

Leyu Culture Co., Ltd. V: Boss, don’t worry, under your wise leadership, Xiao Le won’t absolutely go bankrupt! [Shy] [Shy].

Looking at the originally high and cold official blog instantly became a dog leg and its address to Qin Chen, fans: [???]

Passerby: [Boss?? Has the official blog been stolen?]

Fans and passers-by clicked on the official blog of the suspected stolen account and found that it was indeed the official Weibo of Leyu. It was correct, and the official blog also posted an emoji of thigh-hugging and @-ed Qin Chen. The matching characters on the meme were—

I firmly grasped the future in my hands.

Everyone: ???

This is definitely a stolen account, right?!

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, sharp-eyed netizens discovered that Qin Chen’s Weibo authentication had changed without knowing what it was.

Originally, Qin Chen’s name only had the simple word “Actor’, but now, there was an extra sentence after the “Actor”.

President of Leyu Culture Co., Ltd.

The authentication has been changed, and no matter how sluggish their brain was, people reacted—

Qin Chen became the boss of Leyu!

If the #Heartache for Qin Chen# topic that mobilized fans’ emotions was a tear gas bomb, the news that Qin Chen was the boss of Leyu would be tantamount to a nuclear missile.

Compared with the latter, the former was simply insignificant.

In a short period of time, Qin Chen’s name appeared out of nowhere in the hot search, followed by a dark-colored ‘explosion’.

Whether it was passers-by fans or marketing accounts, they were shocked by the discussion of Qin Chen’s true identity, and various media outlets also looked for channels to verify the truth or falsehood from Leyu.

Qin Chen exposed his identity and successfully attracted the attention of Xu Jian’s fans.

After all this was done, Qin Chen looked at Xu Jian and Pan Min and said with a calm tone, “It’s solved.”

Xu Jian & Pan Min: “…”

CP fan Xiao Nan had a crack on her expression and began to swipe the screen in the QingJian CP fan group.

[Sisters, have you seen this? With freshly baked food, Chen-ge revealed his identity for love!]

Among the few people, only Zhu Liang, who was kept in the dark, was shocked by Qin Chen’s true identity. After being surprised, he began to doubt his life—

Why? Why am I the only one who doesn’t know such an important thing? Aren’t we supposed to be a team?!

Zhu Liang felt that he was being squeezed out, and there was sufficient evidence.

………..

Although Qin Chen’s exposure was earlier than planned, the effect wasn’t bad. He also pulled Xu Jian from public opinion conveniently. It can be said that it killed two birds with one stone.

The authentication has been changed, and a number of media have confirmed from many parties that Qin Chen is the son of the owner of Leyu Company and is now a real boss.

As the First Ge^[3]This is like saying as the top 1 or someone who’s like the pillar of the company. of Leyu, Qin Chen was said to be the Prince of Leyu. It was originally a nickname for netizens, but they didn’t expect that he was really the Prince of Leyu. He was the genuine one. Now, he was the kind who ascended the throne to inherit the company.

At this point, there was no such thing as the company squeezing Qin Chen to support newcomers because no employee dared to squeeze the immediate boss. But Qin Chen, who was the boss, voluntarily supported the newcomer of the company.

Weibo was extremely lively, and everyone didn’t expect Qin Chen to hide such a big thing for so many years.

The only fan who reacted didn’t feel deceived at all, but felt that the sky was clear—

Their Chen-ge wasn’t wronged, but he was even the president of Leyu!

Qin Chen’s fans who have been depressed for a long time are in a great mood like it was the Chinese New Year today.
