The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 255

Nan XiangWan's black material was air dropped by several big Vs with great popularity at the same time, all for pouring oil on the fire over the issue of this movie.

But before the news even spread among the onlookers and the battlefield shifted, in less than a minute after the hot search appeared -

Pa!

It's gone!

Any topic related to black Nan XiangWan suddenly disappeared without a trace.

As fierce as the receding tide!

Many people didn't even notice before it was gone.

Gu Beihuai, who had been keeping up with online developments, stared in surprise, then started laughing.

Jie Chou and Mantou next to him looked over in puzzlement.

Feng Kai Ji sent a message indicating confusion.

'Feng Kai Ji: What's going on? What about the big melon due at 8 o'clock?'

'Gu Beihuai: Haha!'

'Feng Kai Ji: What's so funny? I don't get it.'

'Gu Beihuai: No more melon. You take care of things later.'

'Feng Kai Ji: To be honest, the popularity of this wave was pretty good. It's just a shame for your reputation. I didn't expect the exposure to become like this. The more blackening done early on, the easier it gets to become really popular in the end!'

'Feng Kai Ji: Also, your fans are simply incredible in combat. They fought for a full two hours, arguing reasonably and remained undefeated even at such a disadvantage. Awesome!'

'Feng Kai Ji: Where are you???'

At this time, Gu Beihuai had already put away his phone and was watching the stage intently.

The host had finished drawing lots and it began!

...

Tan Shen was also closely following this incident, grinning from ear to ear, his expression eerie.

But when the black material suddenly evaporated!

Tan Shen frowned and clicked into the icons of those big Vs who were setting the tempo.

He had wanted to go in and see what was going on, why they suddenly deleted posts when things were going well.

But what he saw instead was a blank page!

The account was gone?

Tan Shen was shocked and hurriedly opened the homepages of other cyber navy officers and masterminds of tempo-setting. It was the same situation.

Not only that, online topics about Nan XiangWan's black materials had also vanished into thin air.

It was as if there had been some kind of operation!

Tan Shen was stunned for a moment, and quickly contacted the studio.

'TS: What's going on? Are you guys professional or not?'

'TS: Reply!'

'TS: Keep blackening her! Where is everyone?'

'Chief Black Hirer: Brother! Pay the final payment first.'

'TS: Still want money without doing work? It's 8:05 now, where's Nan XiangWan's black materials? What happened to the hot search you promised?'

'Chief Black Hirer: Do you know how much we've lost, brother?'

'Chief Black Hirer: The upfront investment is gone, principal plus interest! 30 big V accounts with millions of followers banned, over a thousand cyber navy accounts banned! The platforms even gave a warning for illegal acts!'

'TS: Who are you kidding? Buying black manuscripts and manufacturing public opinion is normal practice in show biz. What does it have to do with bans for illegal acts?'

'Chief Black Hirer: I'm telling you the truth but you just don't get it! Quickly pay the final payment. The wave we stirred up for you caused our entire studio and several cooperating studios to suffer huge losses!'

'Chief Black Hirer: Do you know how much manpower and resources go into building up a hot big V account? 30 accounts! Permanently banned!'

'Chief Black Hirer: You have to pay the final payment for this wave, brother, no backing out. Also don't look for me again next time regarding Nan XiangWan.'

'TS: Dream on!'

Tan Shen shook with anger and instantly smashed his spare phone, tossing the sim card out the window that very second!

His eyes were icy cold, his expression hideous.

Nan XiangWan!!!

Fortunately, there was still plenty of negative news online about the Reach for the Stars movie and condemnation of Gu Beihuai continued. His previous 5 million expenditure wasn't wasted.

It was just this hot search...

What on earth was this [Criminal Psychology Strikes Again] that suddenly popped up?

Tan Shen had no mood to check it out either. He opened his regularly used phone and replied some unread messages.

They were all people from the circle asking about the movie casting.

The news of Tan Shen being kicked off the crew was making big waves online!

Some directors with a strong sense of justice even said they would invest in a movie for Tan Shen to play the main role, battling Reach for the Stars.

Tan Shen politely and modestly replied to every single one, continuing to build his nice guy facade.

...

On Weibo.

Many brick fans saw a flash of a hot search term, but found nothing when they clicked in, and it was gone again when they refreshed.

The brick fans were extremely anxious, not knowing what to do.

Just now, it looked like there was some unfavorable information about Baby Wan?

But it's gone now?

Was it an illusion or did someone spend money to remove the hot search?

But the speed was way too fast!

Killed right in the cradle!

The brick fans kept refreshing nervously while eating up other news.

Soon, a long Weibo post released by @Peaceful Magic Capital was pushed to hot search by netizens.

Apart from the steady fans who followed this account daily to read popular science posts, there were also people who had followed after reading the previous Criminal Psychology (1) and (2).

Now Criminal Psychology (3) was out and fans who had been waiting eagerly naturally rushed in to like, comment and share.

Anyway, they had been eating melon about Gu Beihuai kicking people off the crew for 2 hours. Reading some popular science to freshen up the mind sounded good.

The popular science article Jie Chou rushed out with his main account was limited by various conditions, leaving less room for elaboration.

Compared to the previous two forensic psychology posts, this one was much shorter.

But the theme throughout was very clear - [The Perfect Human]

An absolutely controversial topic, it analyzed the complexity of humans as higher intelligent lifeforms!

The article covered from evolution to reproduction, from birth to death...

From different levels, angles and psychologies.

All-roundedly stating a common theory - the human psyche is extremely complex!

This complexity gives rise to everyone's differences, the distinctness of merits and faults as well as the amplification or restraint of bad nature.

The entire piece was written very profound, leaving fans dumbfounded!

Many brick fans who were also watching the livestream and waiting for Nan XiangWan rushed in eagerly, only to come out dazed and confused after reading it.

Too deep!

What was this about?

Fortunately, Jie Chou heavily emphasized once more at the end:

"There are no perfect people in this world. Everyone has flaws and negative emotions. We must learn to recognize them correctly and improve."

Alright, they got it this time.

Fans universally liked the post. Some who wanted to study and contemplate deeply chose to share and comment instead.

The brick fans also exceptionally gave face and echoed supportively.

After all, this was the first official account their idol followed!

...

Nan XiangWan was waiting backstage to go on.

Her hair was decorated with two long ash grey highlights, clipped behind her short hair to the same length.

Pairing that with two huge dramatic earrings, the look was unexpectedly flattering!

It was just the start of the show's recording.

Ding!
