TRMP Chapter 67

The broadcast of “Mu Yu Ge” didn’t generate as much heat as imagined.

Over the course of a year, Su Xiaoyu participated in various variety shows and interviews, and her endorsements and commercials never stopped. Her resources became better and better, and her number of fans also increased.

As soon as “Mu Yu Ge” aired, Su Xiaoyu’s fans immediately organized viewings and comment-boosting, and purchased many related products. In the weekly gratitude list of “Mu Yu Ge,” Su Xiaoyu’s fans were always ranked among the top few.

Completely different from Su Xiaoyu was Chen Ruiyang—after Chen Ruiyang experienced a scandal with his endorsement, he lost money and apologized, and his reputation plummeted.

Although he was still one of the main celebrities promoted by the company, the company had already begun looking for a new leader and even distributed some of Chen Ruiyang’s resources to newcomers.

In an entire year, Chen Ruiyang only filmed one new drama and only barely appeared on two variety shows.

And many of the terrible endorsements he had taken during that time were still in their contract period. He even stopped commercials and endorsements, so fan attrition was naturally severe.

After “Mu Yu Ge” was released, Chen Ruiyang’s position was actually squeezed out by Su Xiaoyu.

And Chen Ruiyang’s popularity was far from as high as expected—apart from the paid promoters, the most active among Chen Ruiyang’s fans were actually that group of CP fans of him and Jiang Yifeng.

After discussing with Chen Ruiyang, the company decided to take a risk and do a big promotion.

They planned to bring Su Xiaoyu down and promote the CP of Jiang Yifeng and Chen Ruiyang in the drama, and then take the opportunity to boost their popularity.

“If only I had known when I was acting…”

Chen Ruiyang flipped through the edited videos, and for a moment, he felt a little regretful.

The male protagonist played by Chen Ruiyang had an unreservedly bad attitude towards Jiang Yifeng, but Jiang Yifeng’s character was deeply in love with him.

His undisguised disgust was made all the more egregious by Jiang Yifeng’s love-filled eyes.

The agent patted Chen Ruiyang on the shoulder: “Don’t think so much, it’s impossible to ask Director Zhao to edit it again… The company has already prepared the post, remember to keep an eye on your phone tonight.”

Chen Ruiyang nodded.

That night, Chen Ruiyang’s studio account posted an article accusing the female lead of “Mu Yu Ge” of stealing the leading role. The contract stipulated that the male lead would be in the first position and the female lead in the second, but in actual filming, they chose to cut the male lead’s scenes.

Before the TV series had finished broadcasting, a scandal of the main actors fighting over positions broke out, and online public opinion was immediately ignited.

And Chen Ruiyang’s marketing team massively went into action, releasing various true and false news, accusing Su Xiaoyu of a long history of stealing leading roles.

Su Xiaoyu was scolded for an entire night, but her public relations team behind her was also top-notch, and immediately reacted and began to fight back.

Chen Ruiyang’s scandals were massively exposed.

Because Su Xiaoyu’s initial contract was indeed not for the first position, and Chen Ruiyang’s popularity declined later, Su Xiaoyu’s team felt that Zhao Jinming’s new drama had the potential to become popular, so they took the risk and exchanged resources for the first position.

But they didn’t expect Chen Ruiyang to cause trouble by tearing over positions halfway through the broadcast of the entire drama.

Su Xiaoyu couldn’t answer directly, so they could only hint.

“Chen Ruiyang has had many experiences of tearing over positions, he is a frequent position-tearer.”

“Chen Ruiyang’s fans have position cancer. The original scripts all revolved around the female lead. Although the male lead has a high status, he still serves as a tool for the female lead, so the position is fine.”

“Chen Ruiyang, a person who is full of lies, what he says is simply unbelievable.”

“A man is still fighting with a woman, how embarrassing.”

Marketing accounts didn’t dare to say more about Su Xiaoyu occupying the leading position, so they could only constantly cling to Chen Ruiyang’s various scandals.

And when the heat of the whole thing was pushed to the highest point, the number of views and ratings of “Mu Yu Ge” also gradually increased with the rise of the heat. The production team originally planned to respond, but retreated after seeing the heat, planning to wait until Su Xiaoyu and Chen Ruiyang tore each other to death before coming forward.

Xie Jingshen merely added a drop of water to this oil pot.

He used his mobile phone to select a message and push it to the marketing account he had chosen.

Jiang Yifeng knew nothing about this, and Xie Jingshen didn’t tell Jiang Yifeng either.

He didn’t want Jiang Yifeng to bear a moral burden.

However, he wanted to make that group of people pay the price.

Chen Ruiyang and Su Xiaoyu quarreled noisily, and the big fans on both sides tore back and forth.

The online scolding war almost extended to every corner, and four or five trending topics on a social software revolved around their two’s farce.

Just when the balance was tilting towards Su Xiaoyu, a marketing account suddenly released a blockbuster revelation.

——Su Xiaoyu is married, and is married to a well-known wealthy businessman who is involved in the entertainment industry.

Su Xiaoyu’s image in the hearts of fans has always been that of a pure and youthful fairy. Often when something happens, Su Xiaoyu always stands in a position of being bullied, accusing the company and opponents of treating her badly.

The pitiful image in the circle, although looking weak, has always helped her gain fan sympathy, instead stimulating fans to charge into battle for her.

But this is very different from the image of a rich wife.

What’s more, a few days ago, Su Xiaoyu was still drooping her eyes and crying on the show, reminiscing about her first love boyfriend.

Fans immediately defected.

Su Xiaoyu was pushed to the forefront.

Su Xiaoyu didn’t even know how to respond for a while.

Her marriage was her biggest secret—something that was originally intended to be kept secret was suddenly revealed. No one expected that such a small conflict would eventually evolve into a life-and-death struggle between the male and female protagonists.

Su Xiaoyu made up her mind.

“If you’re not benevolent, don’t blame me for being unjust.”

Su Xiaoyu knew that she still had a way out—exposure of the marriage would cut off most of her resources, but her marriage partner would also become one of her resources.

But Chen Ruiyang dared to strike first…

Su Xiaoyu’s company countered by releasing evidence that Chen Ruiyang deliberately hyped up the CP with Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng listened to Guan Shaodong’s real-time broadcast of the two people’s contradictions every day, and was a little numb.

Until Guan Shaodong mentioned his name.

“Su Xiaoyu is really amazing, she actually kept so much stuff…” Guan Shaodong’s shoulders trembled: “Chen Ruiyang is completely finished.”

Jiang Yifeng silently hugged his milk tea, lowered his head and carefully bit open a coconut jelly.

The juice of the coconut jelly stained his lips, dyeing his slightly pouting lips a moist color.

Guan Shaodong silently withdrew his gaze.

He leaned his body heavily backwards, so that only one leg of the chair was supporting the ground. His body was swaying in the air, and he did not forget to ask Jiang Yifeng in a cheap way: “The thing about you deliberately hyping up the CP with Chen Ruiyang has been clarified. Now everyone knows that it was Chen Ruiyang who sold the marketing accounts to hype the CP, deliberately trying to step on Xu Haojun.”

“Yeah.” Jiang Yifeng nodded, and then said seriously: “This is called those who commit many injustices will perish themselves, he deserves it.”

“Whether he deserves it or not, I just think he’s really stupid. What kind of material is it not good to release… He just had to release the material about Su Xiaoyu’s marriage, pushing people into a corner.” Guan Shaodong sighed, hugging his arms.

He suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at Jiang Yifeng: “I remember, you were originally Su Xiaoyu’s body double.”

“Not a body double.”

“Huh?” Guan Shaodong thought about the information he had collected, and decided to believe his brother’s information: “Why don’t you admit it? It’s obviously is…”

“Because I can’t afford to pay the liquidated damages, so I’m not a body double.”

Jiang Yifeng was quite honest with Guan Shaodong.

Guan Shaodong’s eyes widened. He looked at Jiang Yifeng in surprise, and then bitterly turned his head back and covered his forehead with his palm: “That’s right, the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is quite common.”

Jiang Yifeng calmly opened the lid of the milk tea cup, scooped out a spoonful of milk cap, and couldn’t help laughing at Guan Shaodong’s suddenly dull expression.

“What’s wrong, Guan Shao, disappointed in the entertainment industry?”

“No, I just think it’s unfair.”

“Where is there fairness in the entertainment industry.” Jiang Yifeng only felt that Guan Shaodong’s hesitant appearance with his head down was like a little hedgehog.

He raised his foot and gently kicked Guan Shaodong’s chair.

Guan Shaodong was taken aback and almost overturned to the ground, but Jiang Yifeng grabbed him, and Guan Shaodong barely stabilized himself.

“Damn, you saved my life.” Guan Shaodong’s forehead was sweating after he stood firm, and he immediately recovered from the emo he had just been in: “Never mind, I’m determined to make you this friend. In the future, if there are any resources, or if there is anything, my brother probably can’t help you unconditionally, but I will help you unconditionally.”

Jiang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and nodded.

After Guan Shaodong rushed to filming, he picked up his phone and glanced at the news.

Things on the Internet fermented quickly. The CP between Jiang Yifeng and Chen Ruiyang had been dismantled by Su Xiaoyu himself. Most fans disbanded on the spot, and a small number of fans stayed under Jiang Yifeng’s homepage.

“I didn’t expect to misunderstand Jiang Jiang before, crying, I was really deceived, I thought the CP was hyped by Jiang Jiang, I struggled for a long time.”

“Su Xiaoyu and Chen Ruiyang are dog eat dog, neither of them are good things, I can only enter the pit as a face-value fan.”

“Su Xiaoyu is not a good thing, but wasn’t Jiang Yifeng the first to hype it? Jiang Yifeng can just step on Su Xiaoyu to get to the top?”

“Don’t think about whitewashing those hype coffees who hype up with the body double turmoil, Su Xiaoyu is not a good thing, and you are not a good thing either.”

Jiang Yifeng smiled as he looked at the last comment.

How is it that when arguing, some people still want to pretend to be rational humans?

He exited the homepage, flipped to the game, and clicked in to play the game leisurely.

After playing a few rounds, Jiang Yifeng found that he was not rational enough either, he wanted to scold someone.

Jiang Yifeng flattened his mouth, so he simply went online to see the news, but found that there were suddenly more than 10,000 comments on his homepage.

Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately clicked on the message.

That hot comment accusing him of hype was pushed to the first one.

However, below that comment was a reply: “You really think the body double turmoil is fake? Yes, your sister bought people’s future with hundreds of thousands of dollars in remuneration, the body double turmoil must be fake.”

The reply was from—Chen Ruiyang?
