This story begins with the massive online harassment of Xiao He by Su Shengxi's fans.
Although there were indeed a lot of online trolls stirring up trouble that night, those who were cursing and insulting were basically real fans. It's no exaggeration to say that, given Su Shengxi's popularity and influence, it had reached the point where all his fans were attacking, leaving nothing but devastation.
As a result, they became famous overnight and became a notorious fan group in the industry—to be precise, now any normal person on the internet has a special fear and disgust towards Su Shengxi's fans.
After all, it was just a vague "bullying" video, yet they went to the police station demanding the arrest of a good person who sacrificed himself to save others, and even insulted Xiao He from every corner of the internet. That was one of the most outrageous scenes in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In the end, due to the extremely negative impact of the incident, the idol had to pay the price for the fans' actions. After Su Shengxi posted a video to clarify things for Xiao He, the relevant accounts were immediately banned by the authorities, the super topic was suspended, a large number of leading fans were banned, a small number were summoned for questioning offline, and the remaining fans were trembling with fear, afraid that this incident would affect them, and even more afraid that it would affect their Su Shengxi brother.
It has been more than three months since that incident, and the storm has long passed. Su Shengxi's account has been reinstated thanks to Tian Heng's connections, but there is no doubt that he is still affected. Coupled with the previous dating scandal, his reputation and public image have plummeted, and he has received far fewer endorsements and events. His fans are watching with concern.
Just then, a big fan suddenly saw the news that Xiao He's new movie was about to be released.
Upon seeing this news, she felt a complex mix of emotions. After all, the incident had escalated to such an extent, causing Su Shengxi's reputation to plummet, while one of the parties involved had now landed a movie role and was thriving... Although she knew it was a misunderstanding, many fans still harbored ill will towards Xiao He, so seeing him succeed naturally made her unhappy.
However, looking at the comments section below the related videos, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into this big fan's mind—
Perhaps this is an opportunity!
This matter originated with Xiao He, so the root of the solution should also lie with Xiao He!
As the fan's thoughts gradually became clearer, she decisively forwarded the topic to her own group and discussed it with other fans.
At first, the other fans thought this big fan was playing a prank or had lost their mind, and they were all indignant. But after hearing the big fan's explanation, everyone fell into deep thought.
Indeed, after that incident, fans faced significant ostracism within the industry and were even unable to engage in normal online social interactions as fans of Su Shengxi, resulting in a significant drop in morale.
Although Su Shengxi's assistant comforted everyone in the group, saying that they were just being used by malicious rivals and marketing accounts and that Su didn't blame them, they were still very tormented and in pain, and longed to find a way to help Su solve his current predicament.
So, as that big fan said, perhaps this really is an opportunity for them.
—If you do something wrong, you should apologize properly. Regardless of whether Xiao He or other passersby will accept it, you should still show your attitude.
"Shining Stars" will be broadcast again later. Now that they have reached a "reconciliation" with Xiao He, Su Ge will not always be inferior to Xiao He in their future interactions.
Moreover, it's best to make a big splash and do it in a grand manner, so that everyone can see their strength and sincerity.
Regardless of whether Xiao He himself forgives her or not, it's enough that bystanders have already done so. They've poured real money into supporting Xiao He's movie, so at least they have an excuse to save face once the matter gets out. If others continue to hurl insults, that would be going a bit too far—after all, they've already apologized, haven't they?
Moreover, internet users are generally quite fickle, so this move will at least salvage half of their reputation. As for the remaining stubborn individuals, they can then retaliate.
Thinking about it this way, everyone actually thought it was a pretty good idea.
If it can help Brother Su, then it's not a problem if it can be solved with money.
This big fan is also a woman of action. In addition, she is a wealthy woman herself and has a lot of influence among her fans. So she directly mobilized her fans and took the lead by setting an example by taking out a large sum of money to invite fans in the same city to watch "Killing Life" for free.
Su Shengxi's fans have been feeling incredibly frustrated lately. As soon as they found an opening, they rushed forward headlong into it. Some fools, who couldn't see the situation clearly, started hurling insults at the bottom, but they were quickly kicked out by other Su Shengxi fans.
Because the plan was very impromptu and the decision was made very suddenly, Su Shengxi's fans united and began to buy a large number of pre-sale tickets for "Killing Life" before Su Shengxi and his team knew about it, trying their best to contribute.
And so, this is the scene you are seeing now—
The pre-sale box office for "Killing Life" reached a staggering 18 million on its first day!
And Su Shengxi's fans alone accounted for 40% of the box office!
This is just the data gathered in a short period of time. If the remaining fans also join in... it truly lives up to the fan economy! It's amazing!
After learning about what his fans had done, Su Shengxi almost vomited blood: "Damn! Are they idiots? They're rushing to pat ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Xiao He on the back!"
Agent Tian Heng was much calmer. Watching the gradually shifting public opinion online, he comforted Su Shengxi: "By doing this, they can at least help you clear your name recently. The fans will pay for their own actions, and you can just sit back and reap the benefits. Isn't that great? Look at the situation now, many people online have already forgiven Xiao He for their previous cyberbullying."
If Xiao He doesn't forgive him, then he's petty and greedy!
Su Shengxi snorted coldly: "I just can't stand Xiao He!"
As a result, his fans apologized to Xiao He, which was a slap in the face for him!
Tian Heng: "You should be patient for now, at least until 'Shining Stars' airs."
Now that filming is finished, neither of them will come out on top if they go head-to-head with Xiao He.
Su Shengxi understood this as well, so he could only take a deep breath and suppress his anger.
On the other side, Xiao He, having figured out the whole story, couldn't help but chuckle: "We really have to thank Su Shengxi for this wonderful gift from heaven."
Liu Rulan wasn't particularly surprised. Having seen through the true nature of these fans' behavior, she simply shrugged and said, "But you won't get a single penny of that money, and if you don't respond, they'll have a reason to turn the tables and say you're petty."
To put it bluntly, Xiao He is just an actor who gets paid; the investors are the ones who make the money.
These fans are cunning; they used Xiao He to clear Su Shengxi's name without letting Xiao He gain anything in return.
Xiao He: "..."
My face fell instantly, no laughing.
Xiao He turned his head and, annoyed, lay back: "Fine, so you can play like this!"
For a fleeting moment, Xiao He even considered digging up some dirt on Su Shengxi and posting it online.
But thinking about the upcoming film "Shining Stars," he held back.
If Su Shengxi's career collapses at this time, then their filming of "Shining Star" will also be affected.
Xiao He was still unwilling to let his hard work go to waste.
However, Xiao He quickly came up with a good idea.
