Chapter 114 – Unbearable
As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. (TN: The older, the wiser)
Lu Chen called Chen Jianhao, more or less, with the intention of asking about the issue, but instead was educated by the other party first.
He knows that he got the news a little late.
Although for Lu Chen, knowing that he was attacked earlier or later has little effect. He will become a real star in the future. If his reaction is still so slow, he will have to suffer a lot!
Because a star’s every actions, words and deeds are often exposed to the public eye. When faced with an adverse situation, the faster the reaction the better, and the more timely the better.
In the final analysis, the main reason is that Lu Chen has no one to rely on. Since he chose to develop independently, he must establish a strong team to support him behind the scenes, otherwise he would not go far at all. (TN: Lu Chen has no one to rely on – he hasn’t signed to any company)
Chen Jianhao said, “Didn’t you set up a studio? Quickly recruit few more useful people.”
The former spoke from experience, so Lu Chen is sure to listen attentively, but he will not be easily taken away by the rhythm, and forget the most important thing: “Brother Jianhao, I am already recruiting people. Let’s get down to business.”
Chen Jianhao said with a laugh, “Of course I know what you want to ask. Yes, I asked Stray Cat to make that post, and I also gave him the material. Are you satisfied?”
Sure enough!
Lu Chen, who got the real answer, was not angry because he believed Chen Jianhao would not harm him.
Lu Chen, on the contrary, is curious about the other party’s connections: “Is he a friend of yours?”
Stray Cats is a small V in Inspur Blog, a famous ID at Sky Forum, and is best at explosive entertainment circle material.
Chen Jianhao, as a bar owner, is actually really familiar with this person.
Lu Chen could not help but ask a few more questions. Perhaps in the future, he might ask this expert for help.
“Don’t let your mind wander…”
Chen Jianhao said, “I am not familiar with this man. He lives abroad and has friends to help him.”
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry about it right now. It’s not over yet, you don’t have to do anything about the blogs. Just keep quiet and watch the show!”
Chen Jianhao seems to have some trump card, so his words are full of confidence.
Lu Chen chose to trust and said, “That’s good. I’ll just wait and watch the fun!”
Ending his phone call with Chen Jianhao, he said to Li Feiyu, who was full of expectations, “Don’t worry about it first.”
The battle-ready Li Feiyu suddenly seemed to be a deflated ball, and he became listless.
Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and comforted him by saying, “We’re not admitting defeat. Now we should finish our work first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud knock on the door.
It was the office tables, chairs, counters and sofas that Lu Chen had ordered earlier. In addition to the large items, there were two installation workers from the manufacturer. They were assembled directly on the spot.
In order to speed up efficiency, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu worked together to help.
They were busy until noon. All the tables and chairs were installed in place.
The layout of the front desk, reception room and office area of the studio has basically been completed. Although there was no luxurious and exquisite decoration, it was clean and tidy enough to show a new atmosphere.
They had takeout for lunch. In the afternoon, they also have to install computers, printers and set up the internet. They didn’t have any time to spare.
And while Lu Chen was busy with taking care of the office, the storm caused by Stray Cat’s blog, not only didn’t quiet down because of the silence of the other parties, on the contrary, there were signs of it becoming more and more intense.
Ling Xiaoxiao’s fans kept attacking Lu Chen’s blog, and there were also a lot of passers-by, painting his comment area in a mess. In addition to cynicism or swearing, some people even deliberately sent out some bad information to pollute the page, causing official administrators to block a lot of accounts.
Originally, Lu Chen and Ling Xiaoxiao didn’t know each other, and Lu Chen did not say anything to Ling Xiaoxiao. They were like two parallel lines; they have no possibility of coming in contact with each other.
A blog post from Stray Cat pushed Lu Chen to the cusp of the storm overnight, and he finally compared Ling Xiaoxiao with Lu Chen. As a result, Lu Chen, who was innocent, became the target of fire of Ling Xiaoxiao’s fans.
But at this point, it’s not normal to make such a noise. After all, the matter was not initiated by Lu Chen at all, and now he seems to be the culprit, and the object of resentment by tens of thousands of people. People with a discerning eye can see the problem clearly.
There is no doubt that behind this incident is someone adding fuel to the flames, hyping Ling Xiaoxiao, and at the same time suppressing Lu Chen!
Is Xiangnan Satellite TV so easy to mess with?
Lu Chen also has a lot of fans on Inspur Blog. Seeing such a situation, they must certainly come out to refute it, but their counterattack lacks strength and organization, and it is not at all a match to Ling Xiaoxiao’s support groups.
Lu Chen did not respond, nor did Beijing Satellite TV, and Stray Cat that caused the incident seemed to have become mute. Even if others bombed indiscriminately, they were no longer making a sound. People can’t help but feel that the expert who disclosed the issue is really guilty and dare not speak out recklessly.
By 7 o’clock in the evening, one of the judges of “Super Singer” spoke on the blog.
This judge is Zhang Xiaoan, a variety host for Xiangnan Satellite TV. He is also a celebrity in the circle. He has more than 5 million blog fans. He participated in the auditions and preliminary competitions, but did not show his face in the promotion competition.
In his blog, he admitted that he was one of the judges who eliminated Lu Chen during the audition process because Lu Chen did not perform well at that time, lacked professional standards in playing and singing, and the original work he brought was basically a half-finished product.
By contrast, when Lu Chen reached “Singing China” Top 16 of 32, his performance was much better and his work was greatly improved. If he has the same level at that time, he would have passed.
This blog post by Zhang Xiaoan is undoubtedly shirking the responsibility for himself and for “Super Singer” – it’s not that we didn’t want him, but that Lu Chen’s performance was too bad!
Zhang Xiaoan played it very well in distorting the facts. Because in Stray Cat’s blog post, there was a video of Lu Chen singing in “Singing China,” plus him being the songwriter of “In Spring”, if he insists that Lu Chen has no talent, he would just be insulting the intelligence of others.
In addition, Zhang Xiaoan ended his post with a couple of sentences suggesting that Lu Chen is deliberately using “Super Singer” to make a hype for himself.
Perhaps Lu Chen’s elimination in the audition of “Super Singer” is just a pre-planned hype!
One has to admit that this deceitful man in the variety industry is really sly and has aroused the sympathy of many fans.
The number of people who ran to Lu Chen’s blog to curse suddenly increased!
At 07:20, another judge of “Super Singer,” Chen Zhenni, also posted a blog post.
Compared with Zhang Xiaoan’s obscure suggestion, the returnee star’s remarks were much explosive. She bluntly stated that Lu Chen was eliminated because, besides the reasons for his work, the most important reason was that Lu Chen did not respect his senior and made impertinent remarks to the judges in the auditions! (TN: Senior – senior in the industry)
Chen Zhenni wrote in her blog post: As a newcomer, respecting his senior is the basic quality, which I didn’t see it in this person. Perhaps he is very respectful when facing big stars, but this will only make me more disgusted. If I had the chance to choose again, I will still press the red light!
At the end of Chen Zhenni’s blog, there was a comment from Zhuang Hao, the third judge in the audition.
At that time, Lu Chen was strongly in disagreement with Zhuang Hao and was almost unable to step down.
Zhuang Hao quickly commented: “Young people should always be given the opportunity. His song is still good.”
The two sang together and placed a big hat called “Disrespectful to their elders” firmly to Lu Chen’s head. (TN: Place a big hat – They labeled him.)
And it also gives fans a strong hint – Lu Chen is the kind of newcomer who like to play big games and doesn’t know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth. Even though he is modest in “Singing China”, he is actually just pretending. (TN: Just mean they’re saying Lu Chen is too arrogant and too ignorant.)
Because the judges of “Singing China” are Chen Fei’er and Tan Hong!
Which newcomer dares to show his face in front of these two big superstars?
Well, a hat has, once again, been added to Lu Chen’s head called “two-faced”.
Zhang Xiaoan, Chen Jenny and Zhuang Hao, three well-known figures in the circle, together with the three blog posts posted by the previous program team, have made Lu Chen’s image extremely bad in the eyes of fans who don’t know the truth. (TN: In case you’ve forgotten, the fourth judge was Lu Ya, first appeared on Chapter 86.)
In addition to continuing to attack Lu Chen and Stray Cat, some people even went to Chen Fei’er and Tan Hong’s blogs and asked the two superstars to eliminate Lu Chen in the final of “Singing China” in the Beijing Singing area, that is, in the competition of top 10 of 16. The reason being that his character is too bad!
Neither Chen Fei’er nor Tan Hong responded and declined to comment.
What kind of storm have the two people not experienced? How can they be fooled? They will not fall from their status.
Things are getting more and more troublesome. Lu Chen is becoming famous in the blog this time.
Unfortunately, it’s bad reputation.
At 8 o’clock in the evening, Li Bai, that is, Li Mubai, called Lu Chen.
“General Lu, what on earth is going on? You’ve been attacked on your blog!”
He was so noisy and anxious that he even shouted out foul words: “Our Lu Family Army group is about to explode, and Brother Fei is making everyone to maintain calm, but everyone could not bear it. We can’t eat such a loss in vain!”
Lu Chen had just finished organizing the studio and was so tired that he was sweating all over.
Hearing Li Mubai’s roaring cry, he smiled and said, “Tell everyone not to worry, because now is not the right opportunity to fight back. Let’s wait.”
“Still waiting?”
Li Mubai said discontentedly, “I may unable to bear being stepped on by other and be pooped and peed on my head!”
Lu Chen also did not want to put up with it, but Chen Jianhao had not made any movement, and even if he fought back, he had no weapons.
But Lu Chen couldn’t chill the blood of Li Mubai and Lu Family Army. He thought about it and said, “Well, give me another hour, you first organize everyone to prepare, and then we’ll go together!”
If Stray Cat is still silent before 9 o’clock, Lu Chen will have to make his own sound.
Even if the situation is bad, he will fight to the end.
If you can’t bear it, you don’t have to put up with it any longer!
