Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 51: Wait, Who the H* Are You to Start the Fight?

Finally, the thing Tian Heng feared most had arrived.

A massive wave of fans flooded the official social media accounts of various Shanghai police departments to report the incident, hoping the police would intervene to investigate and protect their idol.

To uninformed bystanders seeing this, it looked as if Xiao He was some kind of wanted criminal at large who had issued death threats, intent on killing their idol.

As their crazy behavior continued, bystanders who had witnessed the entire situation finally couldnʼt stand it anymore.

They already held somewhat negative impressions of certain celebrity fans in the domestic entertainment industry, and this incident made them feel even more disgusted.

[Iʼm done, really donʼt have time to play along with your drama. Can you go argue in relevant spaces instead? Stop polluting everyone elseʼs online environment!]

[Letʼs be real here, can some of you fairies stop overinterpreting everything? I have a black belt in judo, and I just went to find the complete video fans posted earlier. I can say with certainty that your idol is completely fine. Honestly, the technique he used to cooperate looked so laughably clumsy - that shoulder throw he performed was ridiculously fake, like he was terrified of actually hurting himself.]

[Wait, werenʼt you just promoting how professional your idol is this afternoon? How did you turn around and start cyberbullying his scene partner? Who doesnʼt get injured filming fight scenes? If your family is this sensitive, I suggest you go back to acting in idol dramas.]

[This is honestly hilarious. Your idol hasnʼt said anything, so why are you all singing and dancing around like this?]

[I was one of the fans who visited the set today. I genuinely didnʼt see Xiao He do anything to Brother Su. Their movements were all pre-arranged - they even rehearsed them on set beforehand, and during filming they followed the choreography. I donʼt understand why the online hate has gotten so bad.]
[Another set visitor here. I was happily watching a bunch of handsome guys film, then came back to see this online situation and felt like my world collapsed.]

[Honestly, this is the funniest thing Iʼve seen all year. Your idol has so many fans and holds the highest status in the production crew, yet you claim some nobody C-lister bullied your idol right in front of fans and staff? I find that really hard to believe.]

[As everyone knows, Su Shengxi is currently one of Jiaxing Entertainmentʼs biggest cash cows. The last person who spread rumors about Su Shengxi is now behind bars. If this were true, Jiaxing Entertainment would have already gone after Xiao He. @Jiaxing Entertainment, arenʼt you going to say something? Got something on your mind?]

Watching the gradually shifting comments section, Tian Heng finally understood Liu Rulanʼs intention—

This crazy woman was actually using the tactic of praising someone to death!

Fans initiating group cyberbullying was wrong in itself, but she deliberately added fuel to the fire, making sure the flames burned them as well.

No matter what, this incident would significantly damage Su Shengxiʼs reputation!

Trembling, Tian Heng pulled out his phone, preparing to have Su Shengxi clarify the situation online and stop this farce.

But when he opened his phone, an unexpected person suddenly joined the fray online—

[Holy shit, guys, look! Is that Chen Yulin? He just accidentally liked my comment!]

Tian Heng: Who? Chen Yulin? Whatʼs he doing getting involved? What does this have to do with him?

And the comment Chen Yulin liked was particularly meaningful—

[Does this Xiao He have some kind of backing? I saw he only played a fifth male lead role before, so how did he suddenly get popular? Could there be some capital forcefully promoting him?]

(Chen Yulin liked your comment)

(Chen Yulin unliked your comment)

[Damn, mystery solved! Su Shengxi purely didnʼt dare offend the other party, so heʼs swallowing his anger. Even after getting hit, he doesnʼt dare speak out—]

[Fuck! Damn it, when will Xiao He get out of the entertainment industry? Why keep someone like this around? @Hidden Star Shine production team, say something! Replace him quickly!]

[Inside scoop: Xiao Heʼs current role was stolen from Chen Yulin.]

[No wonder! Heʼs really an industry tumor!]

Tian Hengʼs vision went dark.

Holy shit, Chen Yulin, are you fucking insane? What does this have to do with you? We havenʼt even said anything, and youʼre fucking starting the battle for us?

”Idiot!”

Tian Heng cursed and quickly called Su Shengxi.

Su Shengxi was smart enough to remain observant without proactively stepping forward to say anything. After Tian Heng explained the situation to him, although very unhappy, he reluctantly agreed to clarify things for Xiao He: ”Iʼll have my assistant post a clarification.”

But would Liu Rulan let them off so easily?

Of course not.

Before Su Shengxi could formally respond to the situation online, Liu Rulanʼs account posted—

[Liu Rulan: Thank you everyone for affirming @actor-XiaoHeʼs acting skills. He always approaches his filming with professionalism and dedication. All actions were rehearsed in advance and executed carefully [video]. We apologize for any misunderstandings and trouble caused. We hope everyone will continue to support Xiao Xiao and also shift your attention to @《Hidden Star Shine》production team. The actors here are all very dedicated and professional, everyone respects history and their roles. Thank you.]

[Liu Rulan: [screenshot][screenshot][screenshot] Why are the most aggressively critical fans all from the same IP address? So hard to guess @Jiaxing Entertainment-Tian Heng, Brother Tian, any ideas?]

[Liu Rulan: Oh my god, I didnʼt even know about Xiao He having capital backing! I just hung him up and beat him but still couldnʼt get any information @Hao Entertainment-Chen Yulin, do you have any clues? Donʼt hold back! Iʼm counting on him to carry me to victory.]

The watching crowd: ???

The involved parties Tian Heng/Su Shengxi/Chen Yulin: ???

Holy shit, Liu Rulan has entered the battlefield!

Wait, are you really declaring war?

These words are seriously dripping with sarcasm.

Uninformed bystanders and fans who discovered it was Liu Rulan were initially confused, but after learning about Liu Rulanʼs background, they were shocked.

[Huh? Sister Liu, did you start the wrong battle? Arenʼt you Su Shengxiʼs agent?]

[Hereʼs a little-known fact: Liu Rulan resigned from Jiaxing last week and currently runs her own studio.]

[What?]

Before people could process the fact that the former agent was attacking the current agent, an official statement was released—

[Shanghai Police: Recently, with the assistance of outstanding citizen Mr. Xiao, our city successfully solved two special cases. Mr. Xiaoʼs actions and character demonstrate positive social energy, align with socialist core values... We hope all citizens will follow Mr. Xiaoʼs example, foster a positive atmosphere of mutual assistance, and jointly build a harmonious, civilized city...]

Seeing this, many people widened their eyes, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

How... how could this be?

The authorities are publicly supporting Xiao He?

Huh?

Immediately after, a group of casual fans coming from Bilibili also joined the fray, starting to speak up for Xiao He.

[Coming from Bilibili, Xiao He is a real man, no explanation needed.]

[I hope the authorities properly control this situation. Have these fans gone crazy, indiscriminately insulting a good person like this? Just for his lifesaving act alone, Iʼll support him unconditionally!]

[Wait, buddy, do you think us Mu Ze fans are dead? Do you know Mu Zeʼs worth in our Bilibili community?]

[Joking is one thing, but taking character behavior and projecting it onto the actor - isnʼt that pretty stupid?]

[Whatʼs happening? Where did this organized group come from?]

[Not an organized group though, just came after watching a video posted by a Bilibili creator. Pure bystander here. I recommend everyone to watch [link] this video before speaking.]
