However, soon someone commented: “Pfft, hahaha, interesting!”
Quickly followed by a series of replies, all asking, “What does it mean?”
“Don’t eat grapes, don’t spit out grape skins!”
With this point, numerous associations emerged, such as not being able to enjoy grapes and having sour grapes…
It was filled with mockery! The black fans were furious!
“What the heck is this! A pointless album is polluting the environment!”
“You’re not even qualified! Apologize to Hang Hang!”
“Stupid stuff playing with ridicule, ridiculing your mom!”
These people became more and more outrageous in their comments, and the content was simply unbearable.
But it wasn’t all fans under the Weibo post; some, seeing that Feiran could speak so many languages, quickly tagged a related blogger they followed and asked about the languages.
After a while, the blogger who was tagged forwarded Feiran’s Weibo post.
DurianSagoV: Oh my god, can someone help me identify which countries’ languages these are? I only know six of them, namely XX, AA, OO, all incredibly difficult to learn! Listening to this is just mind-blowing!!! //@FeiranV: Video.
DurianSago is a science-related blogger, specialized in biological sciences. Due to his mixed heritage, he is proficient in several languages and often translates foreign scientific documents into humorous and interesting content for his followers.
He is highly popular in the field of science-related blogs, even surpassing the majority of entertainment-focused big Vs in terms of traffic.
To many people, he is already considered quite impressive. However, despite his achievements, he was unable to determine all the languages that Feiran spoke!
Fans who followed him for his science content were shocked to discover that this wasn’t just some highly accomplished science blogger but actually a celebrity in the entertainment industry!
“What the heck! Are the requirements so high for being a celebrity nowadays?!”
“Oh my god, my mom asked me why I’m kneeling while watching the video. I’m already a professional in XX! I spent two semesters just learning the basic pronunciation! This kid is so young and speaks better than me! I feel like I’ve wasted these past few years!”
“I’m a professional in OO, let me tell you something scary. What he said is even better than my professor…”
“I know one! It’s from SS country! Oh my god, it’s such an old-fashioned aristocratic accent! Nowadays, not many people in their own country speak so standardly!”
“Trying to learn along with him, and now my tongue is bleeding. Why did I do this… sobbing!”
As these people flooded in, the black fans under Feiran’s Weibo post found that the speed at which they were posting criticisms couldn’t keep up with the speed of the discussions! This wouldn’t do!
But what made them even more infuriated was that, because of the gossip bloggers who had deleted their posts just now, every one of them had posted an apology letter!
Moreover, their expressions and words were exceptionally sincere, completely devoid of the implicit feeling of “I was forced to delete the post, even though I deleted it, deep down, I still want to criticize”!
This was unbearable!
The black fans were prepared to divert their firepower to those bloggers’ apology posts and criticize them. However, a sudden bombshell Weibo post made them lose their footing.
GossipBrotherV: Let’s discuss how that talent show champion climbed to the top!
GossipBrother is one of the few conscientious gossip bloggers. Almost all of the information he exposes turns out to be true, with an accuracy rate of at least 80%. Such a high accuracy rate is considered quite terrifying within the industry.
Furthermore, the remaining 20% can’t exactly be called false; perhaps the timing just wasn’t right!
A few years ago, GossipBrother exposed a popular male celebrity who was always portrayed as a good husband and a devoted husband in public. However, behind the scenes, he was said to be an abuser. Many fans scolded him, and some even said, “Is it true? Let’s wait and see in the future. I hope Madam So-and-So can endure.”
At that time, the couple jointly dispelled the rumors, even sending lawyer letters and appearing on shows. They flaunted their love, and the following year, they had an adorable child.
If GossipBrother hadn’t exposed a few more pieces of information later, which were quickly confirmed to be true, his reputation would have been tarnished.
But this incident remained a stain on his record. Over the years, every time he exposed something, someone would mock him with this matter.
However, just last year, the wife who had always been said to be pampered by her husband and would eat at his hands filed for divorce! The reason was domestic violence, and there were plenty of videos of her being abused and pictures of her injuries, along with injury assessments!
This instantly caused a sensation, vindicating GossipBrother. An apology trend even arose, stating that they were too young back then and had misunderstood GossipBrother. In the future, they would pay more attention to gossip, eagerly awaiting the verification of the information.
Now, GossipBrother, with almost a hundred percent accuracy, turned his attention to Bohang.
When Bohang saw this Weibo post, cold sweat broke out on his back. He trembled, and he couldn’t even bring himself to click on the accompanying image.
Upon closer inspection, there were already several wet marks on the phone screen. Apparently, in that instant just now, he was so frightened that his hands were sweating profusely, and the touchscreen became unresponsive.
Bohang shook his hands, quickly wiped his palms on his clothes, and was about to check his phone again when he received a call – it was from his manager!
Taking a deep breath, Bohang answered the call.
The man on the other side spoke bluntly: “You’ve dug your own grave, and I can’t help you. At least we’ve known each other; I advise you to apologize honestly, so at least you can die with some dignity.”
Bohang, both angry and scared, was about to speak, but the call had already been disconnected. When he tried calling back, the system informed him that the call could not be connected.
“Damn!” he cursed loudly, then turned to look at the Weibo post he couldn’t open earlier.
Breathing heavily, his eyes almost bulging out, Bohang couldn’t understand how it had come to this. Just a moment ago, he couldn’t find any evidence linking him to the incident!
Opening the image, the first sentence from GossipBrother was:
“This champion has manipulated his way all along – buying a water army to smear fellow contestants during the competition, bringing down his previous company, and then climbing to the top through vote manipulation. Oh, and today, let’s add another one – he even hired a water army to smear artists from the same company, just because they let him use their recording studio, and their production team was better than his. Hmm… I feel like we should also mention that they’re younger, more talented, and better looking.”
After reading this sentence, Bohang felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. His fingers slid quickly, reading all the content line by line, and then he collapsed on the sofa.
It’s over… completely over…
He dared not check the reactions of his fans on Weibo. Just a moment ago, these people were still fighting for him, but he knew that since seeing this Weibo post, these people were the ones most capable of bringing him down.
Unlike ordinary onlookers who might just be influenced in their perception of a celebrity, turning from liking to disliking, the real problem was when loyal fans turned against you – that’s a different story.
Even if he didn’t look, he could see the rapid decline in the number of his Weibo followers.
As a TV talent show champion with long-term exposure on television, a handsome personality, and the added title of champion, his Weibo followers had reached 20 million.
But now, the visible decline in this 20 million was happening at an astonishing speed, while the comment count on his latest Weibo post was skyrocketing.
Although there were still many brain-dead fans trying to control the narrative, their efforts couldn’t match the desire of angry and disappointed former fans to vent their emotions.
Thinking about the days when he worked hard for votes, fans waiting in line for the release of his singles in the cold wind, all the joy and sorrow he had experienced for Bohang – all of it was thrown back in their faces, like a resounding slap.
“Bohang! I’ve been your fan for two years! I always thought that even though you seemed difficult to get along with, you were fundamentally a hardworking person. I even felt sorry for you being misunderstood. But what have you done! The other kid isn’t even an adult yet! You’re just smearing others for a moneyed backer! It’s disgusting! Your heart is rotten! How could I like someone like you! I’ve truly been blind!”
“Cheater! You beast, go to hell!”
“I blame myself for being blind before! I used to be happy that all the PK opponents who clashed with Bohang were later exposed with scandals. Now, thinking about it, it turns out you were eliminating competitors! You’re quite something!”
“Crying at the computer until I vomit, thinking about how I was used as a pawn, hurting so many innocent people. I want to die, Bohang, you’re not a human being!”
…
RAN Entertainment’s official Weibo quickly released a notice. The announcement stated that all work for their artist BoKai was suspended indefinitely. Online music would be taken down, and previously released albums would be fully recalled. Collaborative albums would be reworked and released by other artists. Fans who had purchased albums could either replace them at nearby stores or return them for a refund and repurchase.
This move was unprecedented. Bo Kai wasn’t the only artist indefinitely shelved, but a company like RAN taking such a bold recall action was unheard of!
BoKai’s popularity was very high, and many fans wanted to buy his albums and singles in bulk. The cost of this recall must be enormous!
Incredible! The company even spent money to buy back albums tainted with scandals and shelved artists to appease the fans! RAN Entertainment was truly the conscience of the entertainment industry!
Han Hengliang muttered in his heart – indeed, even the father of that brat who had been blackened was capable of such a thing…
Han Hengliang’s boss, Mr. Chi Jun, the president of Tianyun Group, had already swept away the cold and ruthless demeanor he had when giving orders earlier. He was now on the phone, carefully coaxing his son: “Ranran, don’t be angry. We won’t pay attention to such people. With Dad around, he won’t be able to make any waves!”
Chi Feiran found it a bit amusing. His father probably thought he was upset, but he wasn’t…
But being protected and cared for in this way felt warm and wonderful.
Chi Feiran softly said, “Thank you, Dad. I’m really happy right now.”
