【Seen disgusting people, but never seen anyone this disgusting. I was blind to have become a fan of someone like you?】
【When your own idol collapses, everyone says the fans are the most pitiful. Now it's our turn for an idol to collapse, and why do I feel his wife is the most pitiful?】
【Yes, wives in such situations are the most pitiful!】
【Do you know how miserable it is to be a same-sex wife? You used to say all the time that girls are meant to be cherished, and if you had a daughter, you'd spoil her like a princess. Is this how you cherish girls?】
【Scumbags who aren't canceled are an affront to heaven. Sisters, let's use our methods to make him sink to the bottom of hell!】
The most loyal fans, who had unfollowed and turned into haters, all stood with Meng Chenxi's wife, forming the 'Avengers Alliance', united in boycotting Meng Chenxi's works and all commercial endorsements.
They stormed major e-commerce platforms, immediately demanding the removal of the scumbag's products, and vowed not to buy anything if he appeared on promotional pages in the future!
Women are the backbone of the entertainment industry's commerce; over ninety percent of products are consumed by them.
They are the lifeblood of major businesses, the sugar daddies.
Seeing the fans' intense boycott, merchants panicked and quickly contacted the brands, asking how to handle the situation.
When the brands saw the scandal, a massive exposé with photographic evidence, they knew it was beyond recovery. The only thing left to do was to cut their losses.
Thus, the brands, driven by a strong survival instinct, immediately issued statements terminating their cooperation with Meng Chenxi.
As various brands rushed to announce their contract terminations, Miaofeng Film and Television Company was also busy.
When the news of Meng Chenxi's infidelity with an eighteen-line male artist broke, the high-level executives at Miaofeng's first thought was to suppress the trending topic and make the situation seem trivial.
After all, Meng Chenxi was the most popular artist under Miaofeng. They had invested so many resources in cultivating him over the years; how could they let their cash cow go down the drain so easily?
However, Miaofeng's executives had underestimated the severity of the incident.
The negative news about Meng Chenxi was hijacked on the trending topic by angry fans and various gossiping netizens. The heat refused to die down, making it impossible to suppress.
Watching brands terminate contracts one after another and the internet filled with curses, Miaofeng Film and Television Company's executives realized Meng Chenxi was finished and could only order him to be put on an indefinite hiatus.
Jiang Ling, ever since taking on the role of the female lead in "The Sword Heroes," had been engrossed in studying the script for the past few days, missing out on the frontline of the gossip.
It wasn't until Jian Zhou handed her his phone that she learned the male lead, who played Xiao Ting, had been involved in a scandal.
"Holy crap, he collapsed again?"
Why say "again"?
It turned out that when Guan Suyun initiated the project "The Sword Heroes," the female lead was already internally decided as Jiang Ling, but the first choice for the male lead was not Meng Chenxi.
She had initially approached a rising young star from Liuyun Media.
Because the vast majority of actors from Liuyun Media were formally trained in acting, their overall acting skills were generally better than those from other major agencies.
And when she filmed, acting was what she valued most; appearance and fame were secondary.
Unexpectedly, less than two days after signing a contract with that young star, he was imprisoned for hit-and-run.
Hit-and-run is considered a disgrace to artists. No matter how good their acting or how high their fame, it was all in vain.
So, one was banned, another's projects were taken down, and he could no longer act.
Guan Suyun had no choice but to settle for Meng Chenxi.
She never expected that plans would not keep up with changes, and Meng Chenxi had also collapsed.
