Chapter 475 Jiangnan Fans Fiercely Protecting Their Own

Except for Duan Yuanhang, several other popular idols were also inciting their fans to market this topic. After all, they had indeed bought tickets. In the industry, film crews were very welcoming when fellow celebrities came to show support, unless their clout was insufficient, in which case they would buy tickets themselves for the premiere. Although these few were not of Listening Rain's caliber, this was the crew's premiere. Listening Rain was an invited guest, and even though this guest outranked the crew, a guest was still a guest. They could cause trouble for the crew if they didn't pick a fight with Listening Rain. The bigger this matter became, the longer they would remain popular, especially when Jiang Nan had not yet established a firm footing in the film industry. This was the opportune moment. Even if, as rumored, Jiang Nan and Listening Rain were good friends, they hadn't provoked Listening Rain. Listening Rain would at most come out to mediate, which would only serve to further boost their popularity. To become the center of attention and gain more traffic, several popular singers went all out, complaining in their fan groups. And their fans could not bear to see their idols suffer such grievances. Their fighting power immediately maxed out. The public opinion online also gradually shifted towards them. "I heard they reported to the crew, but were still blocked. That's a bit unreasonable. Duan Yuanhang and the others are popular stars after all." "The crew of 'Huo Yuanjia' really didn't handle this properly this time, but since it's Jiang Nan's first film, we can forgive them." "Forgive my ass, give them a bad review directly!" "I'm a passerby, I think the crew went too far!" "I'm not anyone's fan, and I also think it's excessive for the crew to block people who are kindly helping to promote it!" When these fans were arguing fiercely, Jiang Nan's fans couldn't stand it. Although they usually called Jiang Nan "Old Thief Jiang Nan," that was just a running gag among them. How could they watch Jiang Nan suffer such indignation? If he got too angry and paused the updates for "Chinese Paladin 3" for a few days, wouldn't their sustenance be gone? How could that be tolerated? Many readers don't use Weibo or pay attention to entertainment news. When they learned that Jiang Nan was being manipulated on Weibo by popular idols, they directly registered accounts. At this moment, Jiang Nan, who had been silent, suddenly posted on Weibo. The Weibo was very brief, with only one line of text and an emoji. "I didn't invite them? Should I refund their ticket money and consider it my treat?" Just these few words, followed by a shrug emoji with a helpless expression. On the surface, it was to express his innocence, but the underlying meaning was, you don't even have the ticket money? Then let me treat you. That bit of subtle mockery immediately stirred things up. The popular idol fans were instantly silenced. What did that mean? Do our brothers lack the money for one ticket? What we're saying is completely different! They hadn't even exerted their full force yet, when Jiang Nan's book fans, who came to his support, all expressed their satisfaction. "Haha, send the QR code for payment, I'll treat this time." "Damn it, don't think we online literature readers don't use Weibo and are easy to bully!" "Sorry, with just a few of your brothers and sisters, your clout is truly not enough to attend Old Thief Jiang Nan's premiere!" "Originally, I thought these popular stars had no acting skills, but I didn't expect them to act like white lotuses so vividly." "Truly like an old lady drilling into a quilt, you've amused me to death. Old Thief Jiang Nan never invited them, did he? They shamelessly piggybacked to gain attention, bought a ticket, and acted so passive-aggressively." "Even for a massage in a back alley, you have to pay extra to get a quick touch. Letting you buy a ticket is already being generous." "Only we book fans can curse Old Thief Jiang Nan, outsiders have no right!" "Protect our little Nan Nan!" It was blatant favoritism. Naked favoritism. These readers, having been influenced by countless online novels, had all become witty commenters. Their sarcastic remarks were astonishing. For a moment, those popular idol fans were bewildered. Weren't Jiang Nan's fans always cursing him? Why were they helping him now? Moreover, their protective demeanor was quite similar to Listening Rain's fans. After all, who is the most untouchable person right now? It's Listening Rain. His fans' fighting power is ten times that of an average person. Whoever provokes them will have bad luck. But this wave of account creation and support from Jiang Nan's fans also showed those popular idol fans the fighting power of the online literature circle. These people were all talented, and their words were pleasant to hear. They could insult people without using any profanity! ... This farce did not last long. Because after the major media outlets released their news, those popular idols' fans were once again dumbfounded. [Music God Mo Yan and Disciple Shen Jinghong Appear at the Premiere of 'Huo Yuanjia,' Even Queueing to Buy Tickets!] [Listening Rain Singer Group Gathers, Buying Tickets to Support Jiang Nan's New Drama!] [Shocking, a Host of Big Names at the Premiere of 'Huo Yuanjia'!] [Discussing the Astonishing Influence of Listening Rain: Master-Level Folk Musicians Accompany, Music God Mo Yan Personally Attends!] When this news was released everywhere as if by agreement, and spread rapidly online, it seemed that because the matter of popular idols buying tickets had generated too much buzz, many news headlines included the words "buy tickets." When everyone saw that even Listening Rain's singer group was queuing to buy tickets, they were immediately dumbfounded. And when they saw that even Music God Mo Yan and his disciple Shen Jinghong were happily queuing to buy tickets, they were utterly shocked! Just moments ago, they were arguing that the crew didn't give their idols face, and that they were proactively helping to promote the movie and even offering to buy tickets, saying they were helping out of respect for Listening Rain, but were treated this way. However, after seeing this news, they were all dumbfounded. Even Listening Rain's singer group had to buy tickets. Even Music God Mo Yan happily went to buy tickets voluntarily. Then could their brothers compare to some singers in the singer group, let alone Music God Mo Yan? There was simply no comparison. Mo Yan was the most senior producer in the Chinese music scene, with the most works and countless Golden Melody Awards, a god-tier producer. How could their brothers compare to Mo Yan? Looking at it this way... Their brothers' clout was indeed insufficient.
