Chapter 11 The Recording of the Eleventh "King of Masked Singers" is about to begin.
The initial online uproar caused by Gong Ju Ren's surge in popularity had significantly weakened the momentum against Dark Night Rabbit.
Especially the sudden burst of controversy, which came with unprecedented ferocity.
It was as if the trolls had been waiting for this very moment.
The overwhelming public opinion had a considerable impact on Dark Night Rabbit's support rate.
However, Dark Night Rabbit, the person in question, hadn't even opened a Weibo account under such circumstances. Mo Yan and Ting Yu, who were implicated, showed no intention of responding.
"If Dark Night Rabbit wins King of Masked Singers again this week, then this show is truly disappointing."
"I've been disappointed for a long time. Dolphin Doll winning King of Masked Singers would be the only way to convince people!"
"I hope the officials will penalize Dark Night Rabbit, as last week's performance was too rigged. He could win King of Masked Singers even with a broken note."
"Come on, Dolphin Doll is very likely Victor. The officials don't want a Chinese national to win the ultimate God of Singers, after all, Victor is Chinese. Although he has Chinese heritage, he is fundamentally E-nationals. It would be too ironic for Victor to come to the domestic entertainment scene and win God of Singers to help domestic entertainment in the 'Era Music King' competition."
"Hahaha, speaking of which, if Victor wins God of Singers, then domestic entertainment is a joke."
"Isn't that the best outcome? After all, domestic entertainment has been slacking for so many years and doesn't rank at all globally."
...
A black business van was heading towards the "King of Masked Singers" production team.
Inside the car was the Chinese-American singer Victor.
He came to China to participate in "King of Masked Singers" this time just to try his luck. After all, he didn't expect that he had already been rejected when he applied, and the program team suddenly called him back to tell him he could participate, but as a replacement singer.
Victor, of course, would not refuse.
Although replacement singers have less exposure, they also have a more relaxed experience.
"Your chances of winning King of Masked Singers are the highest this week," the agent said, looking at the tablet in his hand.
"Isn't that only right? King of Masked Singers and God of Singers should belong to me," Victor said with great confidence.
Of course, he had the capital for his confidence.
He had dominated overseas with his dolphin-like high notes, directly crushing everyone and winning championships.
He came to places like domestic entertainment to dominate.
"After all this public opinion, they won't dare to favor Dark Night Rabbit this time, right?"
Victor was full of confidence.
"Certainly not. I hope we can face Dark Night Rabbit in the first round this time and directly send him to the losers' bracket," the agent agreed.
Victor smiled slightly and looked out the car window.
The weather in April was still relatively cool.
There were few stars in the city, but now, passing through the suburbs, the sky was full of stars.
He raised his head, took a deep breath, and his mood suddenly became infinitely beautiful.
...
Dynasty Entertainment.
"General Manager Lin, it seems like overseas forces want to stir up trouble. Should we intervene appropriately?" Assistant Liu hurried into Lin Chaoyang's office.
"Old Liu, this is the first time I've seen you so nervous since I've known you," Lin Chaoyang put down his mouse and took off his glasses.
Then he rubbed his slightly sore nose and took a sip of the coffee on his desk, only to find that it had gone cold.
He looked a bit tired, but there was a faint smile on his face.
"I'm also worried about Su Yu, fearing that this incident will affect his future path," Assistant Liu waved his hand.
"Don't worry, it won't," Lin Chaoyang shook his head.
Then he got up from his seat and walked to the tea set nearby.
Seeing this, Assistant Liu also followed, sat down, and began to prepare tea. Da Feng Novel Network
"I have to say, it's too easy for overseas forces to ruin someone when they join forces," he said, adding tea leaves to the kettle and shaking his head with a sigh.
"It might be easy to ruin others, but that kid Su Yu is different. He has no scandals since he entered the industry; instead, he's imbued with positive energy. The current public opinion stirred up by those overseas people is only because Dark Night Rabbit's identity hasn't been revealed yet," Lin Chaoyang chuckled.
It seemed there was no angle to attack Su Yu.
After all, although this kid had achieved amazing things, he was fundamentally very simple. He had a girlfriend, didn't flirt around, had no bad habits, and everything he did was positive energy. Of course, his identity as "Jiang Nan" was a bit inappropriate for readers, but his works were flawless.
What made Lin Chaoyang even more amused was the cohesion of Su Yu's fans, which was something he had never seen before.
They were also extremely united and obedient.
It could be said that wherever Su Yu pointed, they would follow.
If Su Yu remained silent, they would lie flat and pretend to be dead.
This was the kind of fan that countless popular idols envied to death.
After all, many popular idols had been caught in trouble by their fans.
"So, we're not doing anything?" Assistant Liu's tea was ready. He poured a cup for Lin Chaoyang and then asked.
Lin Chaoyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was a bit too hot, so he blew on the tea. "According to my estimate, those overseas people must have spent a lot of money on such a large-scale operation. Although the current scolding is negative, after Su Yu proves them wrong, all the money they spent will become publicity for this kid."
"By the way, we don't need to help anymore. The current heat is quite high, and saving some money is good, after all, Su Yu will need a lot of money for promotion when he goes overseas."
"Are you short of that money?" Assistant Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This overseas public opinion has saved you a lot of money, hasn't it?"
After speaking, he took out his phone and sent a message in the work group.
"The effect is quite good. Now we can increase Su Yu's overseas promotion budget," Lin Chaoyang said with a mysterious smile.
If it weren't for the public opinion hype by overseas capital this time, he would have had to spend a lot of money to promote Su Yu as a god. He felt that the show's popularity alone wasn't quite enough. But now, this money was saved, and it was even spent by the opponent for promotion.
The greater the negative public opinion now, the greater the heat when Su Yu proves his strength.
Speaking of which, Lin Chaoyang really had to thank these overseas capitals for their assistance.
However, at this moment.
Assistant Liu suddenly thought of something and stared at Lin Chaoyang with a look of shock.
"What?" Lin Chaoyang was slightly surprised.
"Don't tell me all this was within your expectations..." Assistant Liu took a deep breath. "From Su Yu agreeing to participate in King of Masked Singers, to Victor's application being approved, Liu Yi and Shen Jinghong participating in the show simultaneously, Mo Yan being caught in public opinion because of this incident, and now overseas capital stirring up public opinion against Mo Yan and Dark Night Rabbit."
Lin Chaoyang looked at him with some surprise and then chuckled lightly, "Don't think of me as too divine..."
Assistant Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had guessed wrong.
"I didn't expect Mo Yan to give up his reputation of so many years for Shen Jinghong," Lin Chaoyang continued.
Then, Assistant Liu was stunned again, and a chill ran down his spine, making him feel a prickle of fear.
This "didn't expect" meant that everything else was within his expectations???
He didn't expect Mo Yan to choose Shen Jinghong, but it didn't matter. As long as Liu Yi and Shen Jinghong participated in the competition together, no matter who Mo Yan chose, he would be caught in public opinion. Because Mo Yan's perfect persona had a crack, and those overseas people would not let him go.
Then there was Dark Night Rabbit. Regardless of whether he hit a wrong note or not, as long as he didn't sing the dolphin note when facing Victor, he would be caught in public opinion, win or lose.
And all this was preparation for Dark Night Rabbit to stand on the God of Singers' award podium at the end.
After a long time.
Assistant Liu asked, "Aren't you afraid that the opponent you found for Su Yu is too strong and Su Yu will fail?"
Lin Chaoyang's lips curled up. "If I didn't have confidence in him, I wouldn't have let this situation escalate to this point. I can't fight them overseas, but it's not that easy to touch someone like me, Lin Chaoyang, domestically. It's just a little bit of an apology to Elder Mo Yan this time. He's the one who was accidentally injured, but this way, the effect is more perfect, isn't it?"
"No wonder you didn't help Elder Mo..." Assistant Liu finally understood. "You've gone to such great lengths to help Su Yu grow quickly..."
Given the relationship between Lin Chaoyang and Mo Yan, there was no reason for him not to help him.
However, Lin Chaoyang going to such lengths to create thorns on Su Yu's smooth path for his rapid growth was somewhat insane.
"He is worth it. I believe that if Elder Mo knew, he wouldn't ask me to intervene, but rather add fuel to the fire."
Lin Chaoyang smiled and shook his head.
In fact, he wasn't entirely confident, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Su Yu if he could sing the dolphin note.
When he heard that Su Yu could, he was completely at ease and let the public opinion ferment.
After all, the more fiercely those people attacked now, the better the reversal effect would be when Su Yu unleashed his strength, and the higher his championship's credibility would be.
The brilliance he displayed would be even more dazzling.
After all, a smooth win would only make everyone think that the opponents were too weak. Only by defeating stronger opponents would the credibility be higher. This was an unchanging truth.
Victor was the stepping stone that Lin Chaoyang had meticulously prepared for Su Yu.
"I've done all I can. The rest depends on himself..."
Su Yu's own strength was something Lin Chaoyang couldn't help him with!
