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

Chapter 974: I don’t know! The other side hit me twice right away!

No one expected that this reversal would lead to a group of people deleting their accounts and running away.

Everything that happened today feels like a game, like a dream.

Not only did Xiao He find it amusing, but even the netizens who were just watching the drama were amused.

【Haha, as a bystander watching the whole thing, I have to say, this drama is hilarious! Which rival is trying to sabotage the ”Time Traveler” production team? This whole thing is just too much! First they were testing AI, then they were accusing it of plagiarism, everyoneʼs jumping on the bandwagon, both domestically and internationally, but in the end it all comes down to you, Xiao Ge.】

【Xiao Ge: Are you disappointed to see itʼs me, you little rascal? (bubbly voice)】

【A disastrous turn from a giant viker to a joker.】

【However, I didnʼt expect that Xiao Ge was responsible for part of the post-production work on ”Time Warp.” It gives me a strange feeling of a small, struggling studio. Xiao Ge is busy working 996 every day and still has to do post-production work on his own film. How pitiful!】

【Actually, thatʼs not the case. Itʼs said that the Xiaohai AI system that was so popular a while ago was developed by Brother Xiao and his former university classmates. It was even directly incorporated into the national treasury, which shows his computer skills. Moreover, the project he practiced with a secondary account two years ago won an award in a competition. The level of achievement canʼt be described as a small workshop.】

【That makes sense. If it were just about Xiao Ge going into film post-production, I might find it a bit odd, like an actor switching careers, and Iʼd be worried about the quality. But if we say the other way around, that Xiao Hei teacher who won an award on his first attempt at the World Rendering Competition is actually a top-tier actor in China—doesnʼt that give you a strangely satisfying feeling of a powerful figure in disguise?】

【Who would have thought this? I remember I started learning modeling two years ago, back when AI wasnʼt so advanced. Xiao Heiʼs efficiency in creating mechs by hand was breathtaking. He was really popular in our circle back then, especially when Viker claimed to be AI, he directly created AI on the spot to refute Joker. His arrogance was absolutely awe-inspiring.】

【I also remember now, it seems that when Teacher Xiaohei quit the internet, he said he had a main job in real life and didnʼt plan to update his account. At the time, many of us thought his main job referred to his work as a programmer, but it turned out he was an actor.】

【Iʼm truly speechless. Who would have thought his main profession was acting?! I remember when Teacher Xiao Hei pulled out his AI-assisted system, many of us were stunned. Weʼd been eagerly awaiting its release, but after more than a year, we still hadnʼt seen it. Turns out he was busy filming. What a waste of time! Canʼt Brother Xiao be a little less focused on his main job?】

【Actually, theyʼve already strayed from their core business. Otherwise, why do you think the Xiaohei AI system, which is currently trending online but whose true form hasnʼt been revealed yet due to being absorbed by the system, is called Xiaohei?】

【So everything that happened back then was traceable. To prove them wrong, Xiaohei manually developed a prototype of an AI-assisted system, which he then named ”Xiaohei” as he continued its development. Unfortunately, his rivals seemed completely blind, failing to notice the connection between ”Xiaohei” and ”Xiaohei.”】

【You canʼt blame them! We fans are confused too! If you connect the dots, anyone can understand, but who could have predicted it in the first place?】

【And to be honest, this is the first time Iʼve seen Xiao He get banned immediately after starting a live stream; it seems like heʼs genuinely angry.】

【Actually, I wasnʼt angry. You didnʼt see that even Brother Xiao couldnʼt help but laugh at the end. Itʼs mainly because you guys didnʼt see the scene this morning. I felt like there wasnʼt a single living person in the comments section. It was all a swarm of people cursing the production team, and then they dragged Brother Xiao into it too. But after things took a turn for the better, they all deleted their accounts and ran away. It was hilarious. I suggest you go check out that comments section. Now itʼs full of original accounts without profile pictures. Itʼs like a giant graveyard.】

【Haha, go take a screenshot to commemorate this! This hilarious incident of the online trolls receding is so funny, I think it should be documented as a cybercrime case.】

...

Amidst the online uproar, the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal was also exceptionally lively that evening.

In the past few days, various media outlets have been stationed here to film the personnel involved in the Spring Festival Gala, especially the celebrities with high popularity.

No one expected that such a big thing would happen today.

So many people who originally tuned in for the Spring Festival Gala ended up tuning in for Xiao He.

Almost as soon as Xiao He got out of the car, a bunch of media people swarmed around him for interviews.

”Xiao He, do you have anything else to say about whatʼs going on online?”

”Brother Xiao! Not long ago, a large number of comments under the topic of plagiarism by the production team showed a mass exodus of unauthorized and unpaid trolls. What do you have to say about this?”

”Ms. Xiao, will todayʼs events affect your performance in tonightʼs rehearsal?”

...

Upon hearing the crucial question, Xiao He finally stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and glanced at the media people who had gathered tonight. His gaze swept quickly across their faces, and after judging that this group was not the same as the group from this morning, he smiled slightly and responded, ”Regarding the matter of the ʼTime-Space Standoffʼ crew being inexplicably slandered and defamed by a large number of new accounts today, our Linghui Entertainmentʼs legal team has officially taken over the case. We will give everyone a result on the truth of the matter later.”

”But I have work tonight, and the day after tomorrow is Lunar New Yearʼs Eve, so letʼs end the interview here for now. Thank you for your concern, and you are all welcome to come and watch the movie live when it is released.”

Then, escorted by Lao Qi and Xiao Chen, Xiao He successfully entered the rehearsal venue for the Spring Festival Gala.

All that remained were the regretful sighs of the media reporters.

The next moment, someone shouted from behind, ”Shu Han is here too! Over here!”

Immediately, everyone sprang to attention and rushed towards the other side.

”Teacher Shu Han, do you have anything to add regarding Xiao Heʼs clarification during his live stream this afternoon?”

”Brother Shu, what do you think about the fact that Xiao Heʼs publicity is getting more attention than yours?”

”Teacher Shu—”

The scene was noisy, but the crowd gradually dispersed in another direction as the procession moved away.

Xiao He stood at the door, glanced back as if sensing something, then turned and continued walking towards the hall.

Beside him was Liu Rulan, who was fully armed with a mask.

”Some netizens have recently made a good point: youʼve been making too much noise with your publicity lately, you should keep a low profile for the next few days.”

Liu Rulan coughed lightly, ”Donʼt get involved in the ʼTime-Space Standoffʼ for the next few days. Let Shu Han draw the attention to them.”

As another male lead in ”Time and Space Standoff”, Shu Han naturally couldnʼt be resting while Xiao He was helping with the promotion.

However, their promotional strategies differed. Shu Han mainly focused on running events and conducting offline promotions, while Xiao He primarily stayed in Beijing, participating in nearby events and incidentally generating online buzz to vigorously promote ”Time-Traveling Confrontation.”

Well, Shu Han uses the old-fashioned style of play, while Xiao He uses a new generation style that doesnʼt follow the usual path. Obviously, times have changed, and the new generation style is indeed more attractive.

This also suggests that Xiao Heʼs publicity was more effective than Shu Hanʼs.

In reality, thereʼs no question of who put in more effort or who was more important among them.

After all, no one could have predicted this plagiarism blunder.

This has led Sister Liu, who is known for her ruthless methods of stirring up controversy and generating traffic, to adopt a more conservative approach. She is afraid that this surge in traffic might be too overwhelming, making it seem like a coincidence they orchestrated themselves, which could backfire and cause public backlash.

Liu Rulan: I have never wanted to keep a low profile like this before.

—I donʼt know, the other side just came up and hit me twice.

This has absolutely nothing to do with them!
