Chapter 50 Fan Circle War
"That's pretty impressive."
"Has Gu Yi gone mad?"
"Still dare to accept GG at a time like this?"
"The key question is, at this point, are there still brands that dare to collaborate with Gu Yi?"
"Actually, it's quite normal. With such high traffic, how could brands possibly let it pass by?"
"Actually, Gu Yi didn't do anything illegal. The idea that he's a 'resource-backed' celebrity is just speculation among Qianxi's fans."
"Indeed, but Gu Yi's behavior was just too unseemly!"
"Making money is perfectly reasonable!"
Before even starting work the next day, before the sunlight could penetrate the thin mist of the mountain city, Gu Yi's Weibo account had already been completely flooded with comments.
More of the bird sisters launched an attack on Gu Yi.
"How shameless! Stealing other people's resources and still acting so arrogantly?!"
"Someone who just plays video games and didn't even go to college has the nerve to play the male lead in a movie? Get out of the entertainment industry!"
"He amassed 600 million followers through his previous live streams, and now he's trying to cash in on this again. He's shameless; I suggest he be banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television!"
"You think you're a celebrity just because you sing a couple of lines? You're just like a rapper on the street, you're practically courting death!"
"At first glance, Ding Zhen is a puppet of capital, with no bottom line when it comes to making money!"
"Yeah, is your mother dead? You'd even try to make money like this? You're a complete scumbag!"
Passersby couldn't help but frown when they saw these words, exclaiming that even dogs on the street might bark at Gu Yi now.
Gu Yi's fans hadn't even reacted yet.
Instead, the e-sports and rapper communities were the first to be in an uproar.
"Damn it!!!"
"Your idol is taking it out on others because they didn't get the role?"
"What's wrong with esports players? Did they eat your rice?"
"They're world champions, they can participate in the Asian Games, their credentials are way more prestigious than your popular idols!"
"What, you guys look down on rappers?"
"Isn't your idol's song also edited?"
"Damn it, does being able to dance make you so awesome?"
"If you've got the guts, come out and have a live battle!"
Fans from both major circles joined forces and completely wiped out Qianxi's Weibo account, even Shidai Fengjun was not spared.
The Bird Sisters suffered repeated defeats and could only continue to appeal to those who had not joined the group to provide support.
When he found that the fans of Shidai Fengjun and the other two boys were unmoved, he was both angry and anxious, so he simply cursed Shidai Fengjun as well!
Before long, the hashtag #Esports and Rap Fandoms Clash with Bird Sister# immediately jumped to the top of the trending searches.
Following closely behind is:
[Breaking News] #TimesFengjun has gone bankrupt#
[Trending] #GuYi'sLivestreamMoneyMaking#
[Trending] #GuYiReceived10GGs#
[Trending] #GuYiQianxi's fans tearing each other apart#
Celebrities who previously dominated the trending topics with drug use, infidelity, and domestic violence secretly rejoiced, finally relieved that no one was paying attention to their scandals, and exclaimed, "Thank you, Gu Yi, for your great kindness!"
At this time, in the production team of "Masked Singer 3",
Director Xu Xiangdong looked at the trending topics and burst into laughter, slapping the table.
"They've made a killing! Who would have thought Gu Yi's drama would become such a hit? It's a shame they can't release a trailer!!!"
"But this is a black market search!"
"So what if it's a black search? The matter isn't settled yet, don't be prejudiced. Just edit his footage carefully and ride the wave of popularity!"
"Looks like I was overthinking it!"
The staff were overjoyed and worked through the night to adjust the publicity plan.
Gu Yi's WeChat suddenly popped up with a message from Xue Zhiqian.
"Brother, thank you!"
"You've suppressed my popularity!"
Gu Yi was both amused and exasperated, and replied with two words.
"Get lost."
In just two days,
Gu Yi's name spread throughout the Chinese entertainment industry.
That evening, Tian Xiwei used a secondary account to defend Gu Yi against fans in the comments section, and even sent screenshots of those attacks to Gu Yi.
Why isn't your company issuing a clarification? I'm so worried!
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing!"
Gu Yi smiled and replied to the message.
At this moment, Zhou Ye was wearing a black tank top and glasses, sitting on the sofa in Gu Yi's hotel room, typing on his phone and chatting with the Bird Sisters.
"Lao Gu, are you stupid? They're taking advantage of you, can't you just use a secondary account to fight back?"
"That's just how fandoms are. Welcome to the real world."
Gu Yi opened his arms and looked at Zhou Ye with a smile.
Zhou Ye stared at the comments, finding them increasingly absurd.
"Ugh! This is awful!"
"These haters know absolutely nothing!"
"They even spread rumors that you engaged in shady dealings!"
The happy little dog is angry.
"Alright, there's no point in getting angry. Go back to sleep."
Gu Yi pulled her up and shooed her out, otherwise she would be criticized by netizens if someone took a picture of her.
"Hmph, I'm helping you!"
Seeing him like this, Zhou Ye felt a little wronged.
"Brother Yi, you should get some rest!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Ye leave and followed him out.
On the afternoon of the third day, Gu Yi, wearing a black wig, came to the Crown Escalator at the intersection of two roads in YZ District with Zhou Dongyu.
What we're going to film today is...
The storyline revolves around Xiao Bei silently protecting Chen Nian.
At this moment, Zhou Dongyu rode the escalator up, while Gu Yi followed far below, his eyes filled with restraint and determination.
"Click, perfect, all done!"
The filming went smoothly, and we got it in one take.
But just after finishing work,
Bird Sister's insults could be heard from the escalator entrance.
"Rubbish!!!"
"Gu Yi, get out here!"
"A thief who steals other people's characters!"
"Those with connections should quit the entertainment industry immediately!"
Fortunately, the number of people was not large, and they were kept outside the cordon by the production crew, so the filming was not affected.
The crew hurriedly packed up their equipment and got into the car. After they left, Zhou Dongyu took off her mask, looking a little scared.
"I know you guys are trying to generate buzz, but this is way too dangerous! Fans have even followed us to the film set."
"I didn't want to either. I contacted Millennium to restrain the fans from the beginning, but they didn't want to, so I had no choice but to take action."
Gu Yi rubbed his temples.
Zhou Dongyu rolled her eyes, opened Weibo, and handed it to him.
"You don't want to?"
"You've surpassed 2000 million followers on Weibo!"
She has been in the industry for so many years
This is the first time I've seen someone gain so many followers so rapidly. Only a few people who have bought followers for celebrities could achieve this before.
Even more exaggerated,
In just two days,
Gu Yi has posted 30 consecutive brand GG messages.
The more fans and bystanders cursed, the more vicious they became.
But GG's exposure has been steadily increasing.
Late at night,
Always emotionally agitated
For example, Cai Wenjing from the original timeline once drank alcohol one night and even went live to vent her frustrations.
The bird sisters also felt extremely uncomfortable.
Gu Yi's behavior was appalling; he sent 30 consecutive "GG" messages, completely disregarding them.
They went completely mad and began to verbally abuse Gu Yi's family.
When Gu Yi saw that his family was being implicated, he immediately started criticizing them in the comments section.
[Little Conch]: "You're so arrogant for using connections to get roles? Looks like your parents aren't any better; no wonder they raised someone as shameless as you!"
Gu Yi: "I got this role through my own audition. If you're so capable, let your idol come and take it back. If you're not capable, all you do is bark online and even help me gain more followers."
[Hand warmer]: "Hilarious! You actually gained followers? Are you blind? How could you say something like that? You must have hired paid trolls!"
