Qin Xiaorou's video using "Old Boy" as background music has been removed from the platform.
However, she has not responded to this.
Female fans attacked, male fans defended.
The two sides were in a heated argument.
Just then, Qin Xiaorou's Weibo was updated.
It was a photo of a JK skirt hem, with the words "Ting Yu" written in running script on the hem, the characters flowing like water, exuding a unique charm.
She captioned it: "Met my idol today and even got his autograph, so happy, (#^.^#)."
Originally, even for celebrities, there was nothing wrong with posting a Weibo after a successful fan chase; it even brought them closer to their fans and made them more approachable.
But now Qin Xiaorou was in the spotlight. As soon as she posted this Weibo, it directly represented her disdain for those who criticized her. The female fans felt ignored and became even more enraged.
"So good at riding the hype, where did you get a fake signature?"
"Are you getting this much attention from Ting Yu by riding his coattails?"
"Hmph, I have to say, you're truly pathetic. After riding the hype of the new song, now you're looking for a fake signature to ride."
"Calling him an idol, and forging Ting Yu's signature on a skirt, you're a disgrace to women. Look at your subservient demeanor, you're practically begging."
These malicious comments from the trolls did not receive a response from Qin Xiaorou.
However, they were met with countless replies from male fans.
"Some people are truly brainless. Even the calligraphy master praised Ting Yu's handwriting, and this is his anti-counterfeit mark. Who can imitate it?"
"Don't blame them, they only care about their geigei and can't appreciate good calligraphy."
"Heh, even if the handwriting is real, who can prove she didn't photoshop it?"
"That's right, photos can be photoshopped!"
At this moment.
Another trending topic appeared on Weibo.
It was a set of photos of Ting Yu signing autographs for fans at the university, and Qin Xiaorou was present.
Below the trending topic, many of Ting Yu's fans were also sharing their autographs.
This counter-attack came so quickly that the trolls were completely caught off guard and silenced on the spot.
Just then.
Someone posted a screenshot of Ting Yu following Qin Xiaorou's Weibo.
Ting Yu also posted a GIF of someone zipping their lips.
This further slapped the faces of all those who had accused her of riding the hype, leaving them red-faced.
"Haha, Ting Yu is indeed a man of few words, and he always delivers precise counter-attacks!"
"A large-scale successful fan-chasing event, with the idol supporting himself. If it were me, I'd be moved to tears!"
"He only follows Lin Yanyu and a web novelist named Jiangnan on Weibo. Now that he's following Qin Xiaorou, it's undoubtedly giving Qin Xiaorou a lot of prestige. Everyone else avoids cyberbullying, but Ting Yu directly stepped forward!"
"Damn, I just realized that Ting Yu actually follows Jiangnan!"
"Ting Yu is so doting on his fans, I love it!"
"Ting Yu's fans have received the hint and are ready to fight!"
"The watching phase is over, let's fight!"
Initially, only Qin Xiaorou's loyal fans were arguing with the trolls.
Now, with Ting Yu's fans joining in.
They swept through the comment section like an unstoppable force.
Moreover, Qin Xiaorou's Weibo follower count was increasing at a terrifying rate, with the majority of them following suit after seeing Ting Yu follow Qin Xiaorou.
At this moment, everyone once again witnessed Ting Yu's terrifying influence!
And at this moment, Qin Xiaorou.
Looking at Ting Yu's Weibo.
She was moved to tears.
This is my idol! This is my idol! My idol forever!
...
Qin Xiaorou's popularity naturally couldn't compare to the city qualifiers.
Currently, the most discussed topic was the sixth episode of the Ace City Qualifiers.
The other few competition zones were gradually becoming clearer.
In the first competition zone, Shen Jinghong was completely unchallenged. Like Ting Yu, he crushed his opponents in every match. His final opponent was not strong, so there was basically no suspense. Shen Jinghong would be the one to advance from the first competition zone.
In the second competition zone, Liu Qiliang released another square dance hit song. With his incredibly energetic live performance, he completely crushed his opponent who sang a sad song. According to online data, after Liu Qiliang successfully defended his title, the popularity of his competition zone's live stream surpassed Shen Jinghong's, ranking second behind Ting Yu, because there were so many people who danced square dances. Liu Qiliang was the "Group Leader Liu" of the entire China Square Dance Troupe.
In the third competition zone, it was still the ethnic music virtuoso Xu Ming who won. His final opponent was also not strong, and it was highly likely he would win the championship.
As for the fourth competition zone, it was the most fiercely contested. The king of the arena changed almost every episode. In the previous episode, the ace producer Qi Rui and her singer husband performed a high-difficulty duet song, completely dominating their opponents. Their outstanding performance garnered a lot of support, and Qi Rui was also the last female producer remaining in the competition zones.
As for the fifth competition zone, since Ting Yu was undoubtedly the hottest producer, and he had always competed in his opponents' preferred styles, fans were very curious whether he would use a Vietnamese song in this final.
However, Ting Yu's Weibo did not reveal any information, so they had no way of knowing.
But many people online had made analyses.
The conclusion they reached was that it would likely be a Vietnamese song.
"Every time before, we thought Ting Yu wouldn't be so stubborn, but he always used his opponents' preferred styles. This time, he will most likely continue his previous approach. And according to the information I've found, Zhang Wei is from Yue Province. Combining these two factors, the conclusion is that it will most likely be a Vietnamese song!"
"If that's the case, Ting Yu is really stubborn. How did he, someone from Chongqing, learn Vietnamese? It's probably difficult for him to even rhyme!"
"Choosing Zhang Wei is the biggest mistake. Can he compare to Zhu Xinyu?"
"That's right. Both of them debuted around the same time. Zhu Xinyu is already a singer king. After he became popular with 'Lone Brave' and his value increased to that of a first-tier singer, he quickly dropped back to second-tier, and no one wants to invite him."
"I also think, did Zhang Wei give Ting Yu some benefits? Otherwise, why would he choose him instead of his girlfriend? Wouldn't it be better to choose Lin Yanyu in the regional finals?"
"It's possible that in the last match, when the Slippers Brothers sang 'Old Boy', he was the one who cried the hardest among the singer group, and Ting Yu, feeling pity for him, reluctantly chose him."
"If that's the case, Ting Yu is too careless."
"If the competition is lost because of Zhang Wei, I will hate him for life!"
Since the previous episodes, there had been discussions online about Zhang Wei not being worthy of singing Ting Yu's songs.
Now, because Ting Yu chose him for the finals, his popularity had been pushed up.
That's how the internet works; the more people talk about it, the more people follow suit.
There was even a popular psychologist who edited some of Zhang Wei's exaggerated actions during the city qualifiers and analyzed his psychology.
He spoke logically and eventually defined him as someone who was seeking attention and intentionally acting exaggeratedly to attract Ting Yu's notice.
His video quickly went viral shortly after being posted, attracting countless discussions!
