Chapter 5: Dominating the Trending Searches – Who is Yuan Xu?
At the same time, the comments section also began to erupt:
[Yu Qingwan is amazing! She managed to come up with such a fitting battle song, and DiYu Entertainment didn't even hear about it.]
This song may seem simple, but it's incredibly moving and of exceptionally high quality.
[Yu Qingwan has firmly established herself in the King of Singers competition, and she'll have another appearance in the next episode. DiYu Entertainment can't do anything about it.]
However, given the association's ban, she'll likely be eliminated in the third round.
Do you think her relationship with DiYu is true?
Who knows? Some of it might be true, some might be false.
[It's like dogs fighting, all getting into a fight. We'll just watch the show, but let's not actually become pawns of capital.]
Regardless of Yu Qingwan's character, DiYu Entertainment has done plenty of bad things like this; I heard they specialize in collecting breach of contract fees from minor artists.
Public opinion did not reverse, but... DiYu was successfully dragged into the mess.
From being universally criticized online to dogfighting.
Once you're in the game, there's no such thing as invincibility!
If Yu Qingwan can last a few more episodes, then no matter how unhappy Diyu is, they can only watch her slowly recover.
After all, in the entertainment industry, no one can claim to have absolute power.
As long as you can weather the online backlash, everyone can return to the top tier.
Of course, some netizens also became curious about the lyricist and composer of "Yuan Xu".
[After checking, the association indeed did not include this song.]
[Wow, Yuan Xu is amazing! A newbie?]
This song is likely to crack the top spots on the new song charts.
[What's so great about him? He's in trouble now. This is a slap in the face to the music association. He can forget about joining the association now.]
Many aspiring musicians have one or two decent original songs, but they can't consistently produce them.
[You'll know Yuan Xu's worth by seeing what Yu Qingwan sings in the next episode]
On stage, the show was still being recorded, and the guests were going to come up on stage together for a few words.
However, when Yu Qingwan turned to look at the side of the stage during her free time, she could not find Xu Yuan's figure.
……
Waiting room corridor.
Xu Yuan walked slowly.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was physically exhausted.
The doctor said he had been bedridden for five years, and his physical functions had deteriorated significantly. He would need more than half a year to recover, during which time he would also need to undergo rigorous rehabilitation.
However, Xu Yuan felt that his recovery period would be shortened.
His physical abilities, which he had gradually perfected to their peak during his time on Earth, seemed to have been brought over as well, including his appearance. He still looked the same, but he became more and more handsome every day.
In their parlance, he's so handsome that readers can easily empathize with him.
"So who exactly is Yuan Xu?"
A woman walked towards us, wearing a short white fur coat over a black fitted knit top. She wore high-waisted skinny jeans, her legs shapely and slender, like willows by the riverbank.
With a pair of white pointed-toe stilettos, her figure was so good that it made people fantasize.
She was having a lively conversation on the phone: "Yes, this song is so infectious, and Yu Qingwan sang it so well. I never expected to see such a high-energy stage performance in mainland China. The audience was completely captivated."
The woman was talking when she suddenly put her phone away and said to Xu Yuan, who was about to pass by, "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Should I call someone to come and check on you...?"
Xu Yuan shook his head: "Thank you, but no need. I'll just rest for a bit."
As the two stared at each other, the woman seemed lost in thought, remaining rooted to the spot even after Xu Yuan had left.
Then a voice came through the phone: "Shen Quanfei, who are you talking to?"
Shen Quanfei snapped out of her daze and exclaimed softly, "So handsome! Sister Zhu, I just met a staff member backstage, and he's really handsome!"
His skin is so fair, he looks a bit like a vampire count.
Those eyes were absolutely stunning, so weathered, so full of stories. When he met my gaze just now, I felt like my heart was breaking!
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Wow! You're exaggerating!"
Shen Quanfei: "Really, you'll see when you watch it. However, the turnover rate of these staff members is very high. They may not still be there when you come to participate in the program."
By the way, Zhu Jialin, you're under a lot of pressure when you challenge the contestants next time.
With Yu Qingwan's masterpiece as a precedent, if you fail in your challenge...
Zhu Jialin shouted irritably on the other end of the phone, "Ugh! I told you not to put pressure on me. I didn't want to come out and do business in the first place."
If it weren't for facilitating your return...
The two chatted casually, but Shen Quanfei's mind was filled with that pale, handsome face and deep eyes.
"Huh? I wasn't daydreaming, I was listening. You said... Ugh, married women are so controlling, they have to respond to every single thing they say, really..."
……
When new guests appear on a show, people usually go out for dinner together in the evening if they have time.
But not today.
Because Jiang Youwei was busy dealing with internal matters of her team.
She fired an assistant director and two department heads.
The reasons given were leaking trade secrets and colluding with DiYu Media, among others.
She also managed to get rid of several people who weren't very obedient to her, thus gaining complete control of the team.
The Yu Qingwan incident has a huge impact and attracts a lot of attention. It's a special case that needs to be handled specially. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Youwei won't be able to achieve this kind of one-man rule even in two years.
The next day, Yu Qingwan dominated the headlines of major entertainment media outlets.
Tencent Entertainment: "The Queen of Pop Returns! Yu Qingwan Takes First Place in the King of Singers Competition with 'The Lone Warrior'!"
The headline reads: "After days of silence, Yu Qingwan makes a strong statement, tearfully denouncing the entertainment industry!"
Bilibili Express: "The most beautiful, strong, and tragic woman in the Chinese entertainment industry—this time, I'm rooting for Yu Qingwan!"
Entertainment Multi-Chapter: "The premiere of 'I Am the King of Singers' has generated phenomenal attention, topping the ratings in its time slot!"
Asahi Entertainment: "The Lone Courageous Queen! Yu Qingwan's Break with Imperial Entertainment Shakes Up the Entertainment Industry at Tokyo University!"
The Correa Times: "Another scandal erupts in the University of Tokyo's entertainment industry; the perfect opportunity for a Peninsular Japan cold snap to strike again!"
The influence of Dongda University's entertainment industry extends far beyond China—it's already here!
Related terms also ranked high on Weibo's trending topics.
Top 5: The premiere of "I Am the King of Singers" was a smash hit, a battle of the gods!
Top 4: Ber Brothers, who is Yuan Xu?
Top 3: Yu Qingwan, the Lone Warrior
Top 2: Yu Qingwan's team posted screenshots of communications regarding the issues of center position and copyright infringement. The relevant evidence has been notarized and preserved, ensuring its authenticity.
Top 1: DiYu Entertainment angrily sends a lawyer's letter demanding that Yu Qingwan's side withdraw the defamation!
Under the top trending topic, netizens with legal expertise offered their analysis: "The lawyer's letter from DiYu is not very useful because Yu Qingwan's speech on stage did not directly connect DiYu with the events she encountered."
You can interpret it as her saying one minute that a few pastries are delicious, and the next minute that she doesn't like a certain brand of clothes.
In this situation, it would be very difficult for DiYu to sue Yu Qingwan, even for a lawsuit based on the misleading concept of defamation.
Moreover, if such influential parties were to go to court, Emperor Entertainment's losses would likely be even greater.
Although public opinion remains unfavorable to Yu Qingwan, the storm has begun, and a turning point has indeed arrived.
Although this change is still very subtle, even imperceptible, ... when the rudder is fully turned, no matter where the ship is sailing, the outcome is already predetermined.
