It turns out Liu Yun Media had planned to arrange a fake romance between him and Jiang Ling, which made sense why Huohua Media had dealt such a ruthless blow. Everyone knew Jiang Ling was someone who had left Huohua, discarding her like worn-out shoes. Now that they couldn't have her, resentment naturally brewed!
Fortunately, Jiang Ling was observing the drama in another comment section. If she had seen these fan comments, she would have been so furious that her period would have come early.
What was this nonsense about Liu Yun Media planning to pair her with Wang Chenyu for a fake romance?
She wanted that morally corrupt scumbag to stay as far away as possible, and stop trying to ride on her fame.
Zheng Yueshan happened to see these fan comments, and his face turned green.
He had gone to great lengths to help Wang Chenyu whitewash his image and suppress the trending topics. How did it turn into him being the mastermind behind the fabricated smear campaign in the eyes of these fans?
What a bunch of brainless idiots!
Brainless fans were always the most favored by entertainment companies.
Because they lacked the capacity to think, only knowing how to blindly worship their idols, they were the easiest group to exploit for profit.
However, all things in the universe had two sides.
Fan economy was also a double-edged sword.
It could both make a star’s career and ruin one.
This invisible law played out to the fullest extent on Wang Chenyu.
This time, with Wang Chenyu’s massive downfall, his fans jumped around to defend him, not only confronting netizens and cursing the management company for inaction, but also spewing conspiracy theories that Huohua Media was behind everything. They even dared to question state authorities.
Numerous fans tagged the police department mentioned in the news reports, demanding an explanation to clear their idol's name. They threatened to organize a protest and cause a scene if their demands were not met, asking who would be more embarrassed.
Faced with public questioning, the police, as servants of the people, naturally had to clarify.
Thus, they personally issued a statement online, confirming the news reports were true. Celebrity Wang was indeed arrested for soliciting prostitution and was currently at the police station.
This left the fans utterly stunned.
In fact, the police hadn't intended to release this statement.
After all, in today's increasingly prosperous society, with basic needs met, there were plenty of people who indulged in illicit affairs outside their relationships.
If the police had to publish an article for every person arrested for soliciting prostitution, they would be exhausted.
Moreover, under the law, everyone was equal. Whether a celebrity or a beggar, they were all the same in the eyes of the police.
There was no distinction between high and low, only between those who committed crimes and those who did not.
If it hadn't been for the fans' excessive troublemaking, their repeated questioning of the police's investigative credibility, and their insistence on an explanation, it wouldn't have come to this.
What is meant by "asking for a beating and getting one"?
This was it!
With this official statement, Wang Chenyu's arrest for soliciting prostitution became an undeniable fact, with no room for reversal.
The entertainment industry was shaken by the news.
Major video streaming platforms began to remove all videos and works related to Wang Chenyu.
Major first and second-tier brands that had previously signed endorsement deals also issued statements terminating their collaborations with Wang Chenyu and sent lawyer's letters demanding liquidated damages.
Wang Chenyu, imprisoned at the police station, learned that his fans' questioning had led to the police releasing a statement, solidifying the fact of his arrest for soliciting prostitution. He was filled with regret and tears.
Wang Chenyu blamed his foolish fan teammates wholeheartedly.
Who else could they have questioned but the police? Wasn't that deliberately putting him on the spot?
But it was too late for any blame.
Although this instance of soliciting prostitution only carried a fifteen-day detention and did not rise to the level of criminal offense,
