"Mange, come look at this."
Su Yang looked at Yang Mange.
Su Yang didn't understand much about this kind of thing in the entertainment industry, so he wasn't sure if some things could be released.
"What can't be released here?"
Yang Mange looked at the computer screen and after a few glances, said, "If this news is released, the entertainment industry will undergo earth-shattering changes. However, the entertainment industry has indeed needed some rectification these past few years."
Looking at the news on the screen, such as top stars secretly married, young actresses with illegitimate children, and popular young actresses juggling multiple partners, Yang Mange pursed her lips and said, "Release everything except for our company's."
"If this is released, half of the entertainment industry's fans will probably have their idols collapse," Yang Mange added.
Su Yang smiled faintly, "What does it matter to us if their idols collapse, as long as our company's interests are not harmed?"
Jiang Hei nodded and took the computer from Su Yang. "That's right, Boss Yang. Tell me which ones belong to our company, and I'll delete them."
"After these are deleted, there won't be any backups, right?" Yang Mange asked.
Jiang Hei shook his head. "This is their internal storage on their official website, but there should still be backups on the USB drive they used for filming. However, Boss Yang, don't worry. I don't think they would dare to release the backups."
"Indeed, once the original video is released, they'll have a lot to deal with. And with that information out, the lawsuits alone will keep them busy for a decade."
With scandals involving hundreds of celebrities and hundreds of contracts, Banana Entertainment needed to guarantee that the information would absolutely not leak from Banana Media. Otherwise, it would be a breach of contract, and they would have to pay. This was a common tactic in the entertainment media. It wasn't like in the past, where everything was released. Now, the priority was to see if they could profit from the source. Moreover, if such a matter was filmed a second time, the previous contract would become void, and they would have to pay again for confidentiality.
Yang Mange was right. After the company released the original video, it clearly showed which media outlet had asked the questions, and the situation instantly reversed.
Su Yang didn't want to bother with these matters and handed them over to Jiang Hei and Yang Mange, then stopped paying attention. However, Su Yang had already been in the lounge for almost an hour.
"Mange, why isn't the contract ready yet?" Su Yang asked Yang Mange.
Yang Mange replied, "This time it's special, it's a contract with the Bureau of Culture. So, after the participants are selected, they need to be confirmed online, approved, and then the contract can be signed."
Hearing this, Su Yang nodded. He had actually thought of this. He was just feeling a bit bored.
Just as Su Yang was bored, a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the program participation qualification. A treasure chest is awarded to the host."
Hearing this, Su Yang combined it with Yang Mange's words and thought that it must be that they had now confirmed and approved Su Yang's participation in "Ni Nong Wo Nong," which was why the system was issuing rewards.
Closing his eyes, Su Yang asked the system in his mind, "System, what is a treasure chest?"
"Anything you desire, anything tangible, can come out of it."
"Including money and gold?"
"Yes, but with money and gold, if you take them out from here, you're actually taking them from somewhere in this world, which isn't very ethical."
"Oh, you system actually talk about ethics?"
"What are you talking about? Of course, I talk about ethics."
"Then it's okay if I only take from Sang Country?"
"That's fine."
The system then emphasized again, "Remember, it's all tangible things, real things that you can visualize in your mind. Illusory things cannot be produced."
"Can things like space stations also work?" Su Yang asked doubtfully.
"Yes, but it's better not to scare the audience."
Su Yang knew this and then asked, "What is my mission after I go there?"
"You'll know when you get there."
"Tsk, it's okay to tell me now, isn't it?"
The system's tone became that familiar, teasing tone again, "I just like to maintain an air of mystery."
Su Yang: "..." Idiot.
Without further conversation with the system, Su Yang checked Jiang Hei's progress. Jiang Hei was very efficient. Perhaps these things didn't pose any trouble for Jiang Hei, as he finished everything very quickly.
The internet was now in an uproar. Weibo had crashed and was completely inaccessible. Su Yang wanted to see the netizens' reactions but couldn't get in.
"Is the tablet broken?" Su Yang wondered.
"The Weibo system has crashed. The amount of information is too large, and the system can't handle it."
Su Yang scratched his chin. "The software company's programmers aren't good enough."
As he spoke, Su Yang looked at Jiang Hei. Jiang Hei and Su Yang exchanged a look, and he knew what Su Yang was thinking.
"Don't worry, boss. Leave it to me."
And so, the programmers of the software company, who were originally expecting to spend hours on repairs and were in a panic, suddenly felt a mysterious force appear, and the system was fixed. For this reason, the hashtag #WeiboProgrammersDidItAgain# even made it to the lower ranks of the trending list. However, it was only a brief appearance. This was because the topics currently on the trending list were of the magnitude of earth-shattering revelations. All netizens were looking at the other trending topics, and who had the time to care about the programmers' efficiency?
The leaks that Jiang Hei had orchestrated ranged from major scandals like a film emperor's infidelity to minor ones like four or five-tier actors in relationships. Any single piece of news might not have been particularly eye-catching. But when put together... the entire internet exploded.
The initial topic was the full interview video released by Yang Mange's company's official Weibo.
[The tables have turned, what kind of unscrupulous media is this?]
[I knew Su Yang wouldn't do that for no reason. Turns out this reporter asked questions so poorly.]
[Upstairs, this reporter was deliberately making things difficult for Su Yang.]
[But Su Yang is really too good. He was treated like this and didn't do anything to the reporter, yet this media outlet actually released an edited video to harm Su Yang.]
[What Su Yang said at the end was so domineering.]
[But speaking of which, does anyone know how much Su Yang makes per minute?]
[Aren't CEOs starting from millions per minute?]
...
At this time, Jiang Hei's cloud drive hadn't appeared yet, and most of the comments online were still relatively mild. Ten minutes later, the cloud drive was released by an anonymous account.
[Why is it an anonymous account?]
[What's inside?]
[Glanced at it... The entertainment industry is about to be finished...]
Jiang Hei could find the IP address of the person who released the video using his skills, and Banana Media could also find where Su Yang and the others had published their content. But Jiang Hei didn't want them to know. There was nothing Jiang Hei couldn't do. He directly modified the system and created an encrypted anonymous account for himself. No one could trace the owner of the account, nor could they trace its IP.
Because the amount of information was too vast, Weibo crashed, and the servers couldn't handle it. To allow Su Yang to see the situation online, Jiang Hei remotely controlled the Weibo system and repaired the servers.
"It's done, boss. You can see now."
Su Yang heard this and opened his tablet again, then clicked on the trending list. All fifty trending topics were explosive keywords. Su Yang's original topic had almost dominated the trending list, but now only a few remained. This was because so much news had been leaked.
[Oh my god, is there anyone good left in the entertainment industry?]
[There must be, right?]
[For example, Su Yang.]
[Strictly speaking, Su Yang isn't really in the entertainment industry.]
[I'm going crazy, there are pictures and evidence. The hundreds of gigabytes of gossip on the cloud drive are all real, right?]
[Not a single involved artist has spoken out yet. I feel like if it were fake, they would have clarified it immediately.]
[No, why did so much gossip suddenly come out?]
[Exactly. I was just eating Su Yang's gossip, and this sudden influx makes me feel like a melon field rat...]
