"Zhang Haoxuan is attending an event, the awards ceremony of a music festival. According to intelligence, he came to Nan Province to sign a contract and mainly participate in this music festival."
Ye Longlin pretended to ponder, "Tell me, if his actions were exposed at the music festival, would it cause the Radio and Television Bureau to blacklist him?"
Xuan Niao, in a rare moment, joked, "Who would dare not give you face?"
The implication was that everyone had to bow to Ye Longlin's authority. If his identity were exposed, not only could he blacklist a single person, but he could also overhaul the entire entertainment industry.
Nan Province Music Festival Awards Ceremony.
"Next is the most exciting moment. Let's give a warm round of applause to this year's New Song King, Mr. Zhang Haoxuan!"
Following the host's announcement, waves of applause erupted from the audience.
Zhang Haoxuan walked onto the stage in a suit. The host playfully asked, "Mr. Zhang Haoxuan, we've heard that your company has plans for you to enter the film and television industry next year. What are your thoughts on this?"
Zhang Haoxuan maintained a smile, chuckling lightly, "I'll follow the company's arrangements. Perhaps the next time you present an award to me, it will be for Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards."
The host's expression faltered for a moment, and he thought to himself, "I'll congratulate Mr. Zhang in advance."
Domestically, both film and music awards were incomparable to their international counterparts. The difference in prestige led to a different emphasis on awards.
However, for a流量 star, even if they disdained domestic awards, they would still go to receive them if there was prestige.
Frankly speaking, domestic awards could be fabricated, while internationally recognized awards depended on strength.
流量 stars simply lacked the strength to win internationally recognized awards.
But nowadays, 流量 dominated, which was the prevailing trend, leading to the decline of many actors known for their acting skills.
"Mr. Zhang, we've heard rumors about you sleeping with fans. Is this true, or just gossip?"
Zhang Haoxuan's expression changed at this moment, and he let out a cold laugh, "I've already explained this matter before. Sleeping with fans would never happen to me. As everyone knows, I'm the most doting person towards my fans, so such a thing is impossible.
You all know the darkness of the entertainment industry better than I do. As the saying goes, the pure remain pure. I won't pay attention to rumors, but that doesn't mean I won't get angry."
They didn't say anything further. There was nothing to say. Only those within the industry truly understood the darkness of the entertainment world, so there was no need to overthink it.
But just then, a girl suddenly appeared at the end of the red carpet, holding her identification card.
"I am reporting Zhang Haoxuan for sleeping with fans, and I have ample evidence to prove it."
The moment the girl appeared, everyone present looked at her with playful expressions.
Zhang Haoxuan stood at one end of the red carpet, looking at the girl at the other end. His mouth twitched, and his face darkened.
"Who are you? How did you get here? Who sent you to slander me?"
Zhang Haoxuan spoke coldly, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
The girl ignored him and bowed ninety degrees respectfully to everyone present. "My name is Zhou Keren. I am an insignificant young woman from a branch of the Zhou family in Nan Province. After the Brilliant Starlight Concert in the capital last month, Zhang Haoxuan contacted my fan club, saying he liked me and wanted to be with me. I was swept away by this news and had relations with him that night.
However, after that, he deleted all my contact information. I could only expose him on various platforms, but under their company's powerful public relations capabilities, my posts disappeared like stones sinking into the sea. Eventually, a small blogger found them, and with reposts, a small spark ignited.
At this time, someone contacted me, offering me a million yuan in compensation to delete all my posts. I refused, and then they used their vast influence to make me disappear.
Perhaps some teachers will ask, since I am from the Zhou family, why didn't I use the Zhou family's influence to resolve this matter? Teachers, you can put yourselves in my shoes. I am just an insignificant member of the Zhou family. Do you think the Zhou family would offend a top celebrity for just me?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone fell silent. They all knew that a top celebrity would not engage in such fan-sleeping incidents. Once they did, their company would suppress it forcefully, and many were even driven to death.
Zhang Haoxuan immediately said angrily, "Shut up! I don't know how you found out I was here. Please tell the person behind you that I am not someone who can be framed by just anyone!"
"Where is security? Get her out of here quickly. Is this a place she can come to cause trouble?"
At this moment, security guards rushed over, grabbing Zhou Keren and escorting her out. Other security guards opened the main gate, and as they did, four figures appeared in everyone's sight.
Three of them were in military uniforms. The figure in the center was draped in a green military overcoat, obscuring his rank insignia.
The two figures on the left and right also wore overcoats, but their style and rank were not as high as the young man in the center.
The uniform belonged to a senior army general.
Swish, swish, swish—
Figures quickly rose to their feet to show respect.
"It seems we're a bit late. We missed a good show," Yuan Gang said with regret.
Ye Longlin slightly raised his head, looked at the people present, and walked in, taking a seat in the last row. Xuan Niao followed closely.
Yuan Gang, accustomed to acting on their behalf, walked to the center and blocked them.
"Is what you said true?"
Zhou Keren, being led away, had already despaired, but Yuan Gang's sudden question made her realize that this matter might be rectified.
She spoke very urgently, "I guarantee, with my life, that everything I've said is true."
Yuan Gang nodded and looked at the two security guards, "Gentlemen, let go."
The two security guards exchanged a hesitant glance.
Yuan Gang smiled, "I said, let go."
The two men immediately felt the powerful pressure emanating from Yuan Gang and quickly released their grip.
Zhang Haoxuan watched all this, becoming anxious. "Sir, although you are a soldier, you cannot disregard our rules. This is an awards ceremony, not a gossip session."
This was a veiled remark.
Yuan Gang looked up, a half-smile on his face, "Our rules are the rules."
At this moment, the organizers quickly came forward.
"Zhou Keren, what are you doing? Don't you know how important this awards ceremony is to us? Dare to not apologize to Mr. Zhang quickly and get out of here!"
Clearly, the organizers recognized Zhou Keren.
Zhou Keren looked at him stubbornly, "I just seek justice!"
