Though all the hot searches on the day of the ceremony were dominated by Xia Weiliang and Xiao Yi.
No, to be precise, even Xiao Yi was "riding on the coattails" of Xia Weiliang's popularity. However, other celebrities remained very calm and even made self-deprecating jokes on Weibo, which earned them considerable goodwill.
Xia Yiran was the only exception.
That evening, she posted a photo. At the time, some fans noticed something amiss and were asking if Xia Weiliang had fallen asleep at the event.
But later, people realized: was this photo really posted by accident?
In fact, the first to raise doubts were not the Liang fans, but the Yimi fans!
A senior fan said on Weibo in a lighthearted tone: "Heh, here's a joke. A pair of sisters, let's call them plastic sisters! The older one, both in love and career, is doing wonderfully. The younger one is truly uncomfortable psychologically but can't say it openly, so she can only sow discord and set traps everywhere! Especially in important occasions, like some grand event, she finally gets an opportunity to make the older sister embarrassed! The younger sister is overjoyed, thinking that since the older sister is so embarrassing, everyone should see it! But how can she distance herself? Got it! A selfie! Just take a photo from an unusual angle, and she can "accidentally" capture the older sister in the frame! As for what she's doing, let others discover it! Anyway, it has nothing to do with her if the older sister gets scolded. If someone comes looking for her, she can, as before, with tears in her eyes say, 'I clearly didn't mean to, why can't you all be kind?' Heh... funny, isn't it?"
The Yimi fan base occupied half the internet, and the influence of senior fans was comparable to that of third-tier celebrities!
So, as soon as this Weibo was posted, it went viral with countless reposts!
The Liang fans, who were naturally like huskies, exploded when they saw the Weibo!
"Damn! It's not even the fifteenth today, what kind of demons and monsters are coming out? Which little demon dares to cause trouble for our Empress?!"
"I knew it! Why would she post a selfie at the U11 event if she had good intentions?"
"Is this woman still not out of the picture? Why is she everywhere? If it weren't for this selfie, I would have forgotten about her!"
"What's going on with Brother En? I actually had a good impression of him before. He just acts and doesn't cause trouble, he's a professional old artist! But why is he involved with this woman?"
"It's not Brother En's fault, is it? They're from the same company, so it's inevitable they'd be in the same frame."
"Heh, have you forgotten that when Xia Yiran participated in the talent show, there were rumors about her and Xi En..."
When Ximilou realized the fire was inexplicably spreading to her brother, she couldn't stand it!
So, she charged in aggressively!
"You can curse others, but what does it have to do with our Brother En?"
"Fans nowadays are so funny! They're almost like artists about to debut. They have little actual skill but love to leech!"
"We know you have an Emperor of Film supporting you, but you can't bully people like that! So, are the fan circles going to be monopolized by Yimi and Liang fans? Please give other fans a chance to live!"
They originally intended to gain the empathy of other fan groups, but instead of empathy, they only managed to enrage Yimi.
"Our Yi Shen has never supported anyone, and if he ever does, it will definitely be someone Yi Shen recognizes! Someone worthy of support, and who should be supported! Don't act like a clown jumping around holding lemons. It's quite embarrassing."
"The internet is never short of idiots and bad memories. If you have nothing to do, just go back and check old news, see how they were written. Come back to argue after you understand!"
"Before, I really disliked Liang fans. Now, after comparison, I actually find Liang fans quite likable. At least, they don't pretend; they are genuinely crazy!"
The Liang fans didn't care what other people said about them!
Let alone talking about them, even talking about their artists was fine!
But!
It absolutely did not include subtly framing them!
Such despicable acts deserved to be eradicated by the fans!
Therefore, under the dual pincer attack from Liang fans and Yimi fans, Ximilou began to buckle.
They couldn't win the arguments, nor could they win the insults. What was even more infuriating were the official accounts that compiled classic insults from Liang fans and Yimi fans, drawing laughter from passers-by. It was hard not to gain goodwill in this situation!
Finally, under this overwhelming disadvantage, Xi En spoke.
"Rational melon-eating, rational fan-following."
The Ximilou fans quickly seized the opportunity to back down, adopting an attitude of "we won't stoop to your level."
In short, it wasn't that they couldn't win the fight, but they didn't want to bother with you crazy people!
The Liang fans were not having it.
What did "rational fan-following" mean?
Did it mean that they were irrational?
Fine!
Then they'd go crazy!
Thus, the Liang fans completely unleashed their fury. This time, they shed their husky persona and meticulously organized all of Xia Yiran's interviews from her first public statement to the present, marking the timeline. They also compiled all the programs attended by the Liu couple, also by timeline!
Additionally, they clearly organized Xia Weiliang's career trajectory during this period.
What seemed like a complex and tedious task was actually completed in just half a day. This was because the Liang fans had senior fans operating their fan base; one of them was Nuomi's best friend and a die-hard fan of Xia Weiliang.
From the very beginning of the "real and fake daughter" incident, she had been intentionally organizing these materials, preparing for a complete showdown in the future to use as evidence!
Because from the start, she firmly believed that a girl with such a clean smile could not possibly be as scheming as they described her!
Coincidentally, this information came in handy at this moment.
When the Liang fans released all this, the entire internet was in an uproar.
