Xu Chun glanced at him, puzzled, then yawned and tried to go to bed.
Xie Jianyuan's phone was vibrating incessantly, but he seemed not to hear it at all. Seeing that Xu Chun was about to go to bed, he quickly got up and obediently followed him.
The phone on the table was still vibrating incessantly, displaying the blog post that had just been published, now bombarded with comments.
#Just finished going over the script with Brother Chun at the hotel#
The accompanying picture is a selfie with Xu Chun. In the photo, Xu Chun looks at the camera with a blank expression, while Xie Jianyuan smiles, puts his arm around her shoulder, and makes a "V" sign at the camera. It can be seen that both of them are without makeup, and their skin is still very good. In particular, Xu Chun looks confused, with her black hair sticking up slightly, which is very different from her usual gentle and calm appearance.
The top comment below is from a long-time fan.
"I've liked you for four years, and today I'm truly exhausted. I've fought with others countless times and been insulted by people about your family and parents. We fans have seen how much you've been smeared because of Xu Chun. Some fans kindly advised you to stay away from him, but you not only didn't listen but made things worse. Forget it, just consider our good intentions as worthless. Maybe our sincerity is worthless in your eyes."
"The original poster is being too extreme. There's no need for moral blackmail. Everyone is an individual; don't try to flatter Brother Yuan."
"I'm dying of laughter. Does Brother Yuan need your opinion on who he wants to hang out with or get close to? If you're not a fan, then leave and go wherever you want. Don't come here looking for attention."
"Really, I understand the original poster; the fans are just trying to do what's best for him."
"Exactly, it feels like we've put in so much effort to boost the charts and numbers, only to end up with an ungrateful wretch."
Chapter 86 The Storm Is Coming
Xie Jianyuan's team has taken note of the online controversy, but they can't address it directly, so they can only secretly spend money to remove it from the trending topics.
Xie Jianyuan fame was so rapid that he secured the best resources and endorsements, making him a stumbling block in the eyes of many. Meanwhile, the teams of other young male celebrities often engaged in underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
Of course, sometimes they do some outrageous things, such as the previous "sugar baby rumors," which were later found out by the team to be a despicable tactic by a certain young male celebrity's team, and of course, they retaliated in the end.
So when some fans started threatening to unfollow, a lot of paid trolls and haters hired by the other side started stirring up trouble and spreading rumors.
Some fansite admins even started to unfollow him and wrote heartfelt farewell letters online, saying they felt it was a waste of their youth on Xie Jianyuan, that he ignored their good intentions and didn't value them at all.
Many more inflammatory marketing accounts have also started rehashing old news, releasing videos of Xie Jianyuan being rudely treated by security guards at the airport while he ignored them, thus stirring up trouble once again.
Although most fans remain rational and know they shouldn't interfere in other people's relationships, some fans who can't distinguish right from wrong and lack willpower are still led by the nose.
When Xie Jianyuan attended the event, many fans were waiting at the entrance. As soon as he appeared, they rushed up to him. Most of them were just excited shouts after seeing their idol, but there were also a lot of discordant voices mixed in.
In the video, a female fan can even be clearly heard cursing and attacking Xie Jianyuan. This video has also been circulated online.
"This is terrifying. These fans are truly insane. That's why the most hated behavior in the fandom is for fans to unfollow and turn against you."
"This proves the saying: the deeper the love, the more insane the hatred."
"Speechless. I'm also a long-time fan of Xie Jianyuan. I've been quietly following him since his debut. Although I'm not as crazy as some people, I haven't missed a single TV series or movie he's acted in, and I even spend money to buy magazines featuring him. But all of this is done willingly by me. To be honest, it's all for my own benefit. I know Xie Jianyuan doesn't even know me, and I'm self-aware enough not to impose my will on him or interfere with his freedom to make friends under the guise of 'for your own good.'"
As soon as Xu Chun opened the door, she saw Xie Jianyuan slightly bent over, staring intently at the wooden carving in front of him, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, as if he was doing something.
"You really are quite composed." Xu Chun closed the door and walked towards him, half-jokingly saying, "Only I'm worried sick for you."
Xie Jianyuan put down his carving knife, looked up at him, and smiled slightly, "You've come."
Xu Chun turned on the air conditioner and turned to look at him. "Did you see what happened online?"
Xie Jianyuan nodded, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, "I see. I can't interfere with my fans' freedom."
Xu Chun said, "This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal. My main concern is that someone might be involved... you understand?"
Xie Jianyuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that." He seemed to be in a good mood because it meant that Xu Chun cared about him, and this realization made him very happy.
After talking with Xie Jianyuan that day, Xu Chun was still a little worried about his recent situation. After all, Xie Jianyuan had been going through a lot of bad luck lately, with one problem after another.
Xie Jianyuan's calm and composed demeanor, Xu Chun chose to believe that he was confident this time as well.
Su Li felt a sense of schadenfreude over Xie Jianyuan's misfortune. Not long ago, the company assigned Shen Zhu to another agent, and now she only had Xu Chun under her command, so she spent more time and energy on him. Naturally, she was happy to see her competitor get into trouble.
Xu Chun and Su Li walked side by side down the corridor. Xu Chun listened to Su Li talk about her upcoming work arrangements when she suddenly heard her mention an endorsement deal for a certain mobile phone brand. She frowned slightly and looked at Su Li with a puzzled expression, "Isn't this brand endorsed by Xie Jianyuan?"
Su Li didn't take it seriously. "It's just that he was the originally planned spokesperson, but now he's embroiled in controversy. Brands aren't charities, so they'll naturally consider changing the choice. That's why I tried to get him for you."
