Lai Yuejing said busily, "President Zheng, it's already happened. Let's find a way to fix it."
Among the senior executives, one sneered, "How to fix it? There are pictures and truth, it's nailed shut, impossible to deny."
Another person said, "Yes, to suppress a piece of news, you'd have to release something bigger. Is there anything bigger than the popular idol Wang Chenyu being arrested by the police for soliciting prostitutes?"
After they finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Wang Chenyu was incredibly popular, on the verge of becoming a top-tier celebrity. Now, involved in such a sensitive topic, his popularity had doubled.
Unless someone could capture scandalous news about a top star, like Jiang Ling cheating with a married man, it would be impossible to suppress this.
"We have to suppress it even if we can't. Wang Chenyu still has three dramas unaired, each with an investment of over a hundred million. If he's labeled a morally corrupt artist, those related scenes will have to be reshot. Who among you can afford such losses? This time, no matter what, we have to protect him!"
Zheng Yueshan issued a strict order to go all out to help Wang Chenyu clear his name.
However, they had still underestimated the severity of this incident.
Currently, the entertainment industry was rife with scandals, and the public's nerves had been frayed to the extreme. Their tolerance for morally corrupt artists had dropped to an all-time low.
Once one was found, they were investigated and dealt with. They wouldn't rest until the person was completely disgraced.
Previously, Liu Yun Media had harbored resentment over the issue of exorbitant acting fees and had been looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
Now that they had finally caught Wang Chenyu making a mistake, they naturally intended to kick him while he was down, settling old scores.
With the involvement of various factions, Wang Chenyu's soliciting prostitution scandal went viral, with a torrent of罵声 overwhelming the internet like a tidal wave.
The terrifying trending topic left Wang Chenyu's fans stunned.
They couldn't believe their idol would do something like this. They were all like cats whose tails had been stepped on, exploding in fury.
"It's fake, it must be fake. My idol is such a good person, how could he do something like this?"
"Rumors are easy to spread, but refuting them is difficult. These pictures must be photoshopped. Someone is jealous of my idol's popularity and large fanbase, and is deliberately slandering him."
"To smear my idol with just a few pictures, how shameless can you be!"
"Drinking cold water in winter, the pain is in my heart. Aren't you unscrupulous media outlets afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Damn paparazzi, don't let me find out who you are, or I'll kill you!"
"Restore my idol's reputation! Boycott unscrupulous media!"
It's not the formidable opponent that's scary, but the pig-like teammate.
The fans' frantic attempts to defend Wang Chenyu only served to increase the heat of the incident.
As a result, six of the top ten trending topics on Weibo were related to Wang Chenyu's soliciting prostitution.
This terrifying topic attracted even more curious onlookers.
A few righteous bystanders, seeing the fans openly lying, refusing to accept reality, and even aggressively insulting netizens who commented on the matter, couldn't stand it anymore. They immediately grabbed their keyboards and started fighting with these brainless fans.
"These people, constantly calling him 'gege' and 'gg', are they preparing to lay eggs like hens?"
"This matter is already confirmed. No matter how you defend it, it's useless. You might as well crowdfund to go to prison and treat your idol to a big bowl of prison food."
"It's a pity that the big bowl of prison food only lasts fifteen days. It's a shame we won't get to see Wang Chenyu's 'prison confinement' style!"
