Chapter 570: Chapter 379: No Victors (7K) (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
In just one short day.
Mao Weiang lost over "300,000" followers on Weibo!
...
After this revelation came out.
Both Moonlight and Cat, and Mao Weiang.
They all received varying degrees of blows and damage.
So... were there any beneficiaries?
Yes.
Under Bai Junze’s Weibo super topic, the fans were in a cheerful frenzy.
[Yay! The gods are fighting, bringing our Ze Bao along!]
[Laughing, our Ze didn’t hear anything beyond the window, yet he somehow got involved in this match.]
[Hahaha, Mr. Bai, keep up the good work. I’ve always believed your cello isn’t inferior to anyone’s...]
...
"Snap!"
In the fried chicken shop,
He Zhichen slapped a copy of the Baijing Music Report newspaper in front of Lin Tian.
Lin Tian picked up the newspaper, and right on the cover was today’s increasingly discussed "Four-Person Ensemble" topic on Weibo.
"Oh, it’s on the newspaper now," Lin Tian chuckled.
"Mr. Lin Tian, this isn’t funny."
He Zhichen rubbed his forehead,
"The entire music circle is talking about you, yet you’re so leisurely eating fried chicken here?"
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Tian picked up a golden chicken drumstick covered in breadcrumbs and took a bite.
With the crispy texture and the juicy chicken overflowing in his mouth, Lin Tian let out a peculiar "mm!" sound of enjoyment.
Actually, Lin Tian really loves fried chicken, loved it since he was a kid.
But, because Gan Yanyu doesn’t like it, she finds it greasy, so Lin Tian rarely touches it.
But come to think of it, Gan Yanyu, a girl who’s so into sweets, actually dislikes fried chicken for being greasy.
For the past two days, Gan Yanyu hasn’t been going out with Lin Tian, so Lin Tian got the chance to sneak out for some himself.
"These few days, the headquarters is putting pressure on me, the reputation damage from your collaboration isn’t something that can be restored quickly," He Zhichen said.
"Even if I wanted to do something, there’s nothing I can actually do."
Lin Tian shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
"How exactly did this leak happen?"
He Zhichen was puzzled.
In fact, the focus was never on the collaboration between Moonlight and Cat and Mao Weiang.
The real focus was that this matter was "leaked beforehand."
According to their plan.
After the music was finished and the ensemble preparation completed.
They planned to announce it the day before the performance to bring everyone a surprise, conducting the performance even while there were still grievances.
They were confident that after watching their performance, the public’s fury would quickly be quelled.
This way, even with grievances, in such a short time, online public opinion wouldn’t have time to ferment and would soon be overshadowed by this bigger topic of their ensemble.
Don’t underestimate this timing difference.
"Announcing prematurely" and "announcing at the time" is merely a timing issue, but the impact is worlds apart!
Now, the worst has happened.
It was not only made public in advance, but it was also reported by multiple music media outlets, leaving it almost indisputable without room for explanation.
Moreover, just when their ensemble progress was facing trouble.
Now, it’s like they are being roasted over fire.
The impact on morale is likely more than just a little.
"Although we’ve been frequently going in and out of Comet Entertainment lately, all actions have been conducted under secrecy, and Mao Weiang has done a great job in this aspect."
Lin Tian said,
"If all they got were a couple of photos from the paparazzi, they couldn’t possibly know so much."
"Then we must be dealing with a pro."
He Zhichen said.
He’s also someone who plays in the intelligence field, understanding how difficult it is to obtain detailed information like this.
The other party might just be like him.
Constantly looking over these contestants in the Dragon Violin Cup finals.
Otherwise, there’s no way they’d know about these contestants’ whereabouts so precisely at once.
"A pro?"
Lin Tian said,
"Then who do you think it is?"
"Hard to say, I think what’s most worth noting should be the motive."
He Zhichen said,
"What benefits does leaking this matter bring to that person?"
Pulling Moonlight and Cat, Mao Weiang, and Bai Junze into a public opinion crisis.
What’s to be gained from it?
"The other finalists?"
"The motive exists, but the contestants probably don’t have that much power."
"If it’s not the contestants, then what’s the point of doing this?"
Lin Tian couldn’t help asking.
As soon as he uttered this, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned.
Then, he stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said seriously,
"Do you think it’s possible... that someone simply likes to see us flustered? They find it amusing."
"What kind of weird motive is that?" He Zhichen was momentarily stunned.
"Who knows."
Lin Tian chuckled dryly,
"Some people just want to watch the world burn..."
...
...
Comet Entertainment.
In the practice room.
When Lin Tian came here, he clearly noticed the atmosphere was slightly depressive today.
Mao Weiang was sitting in front of the mirror, although there was a cello in front of him, his fingers hadn’t stopped operating his phone, apparent from his deeply furrowed brows, he too was dealing with the matter.
"Morning."
In the corner, Bai Junze, bored out of his mind, raised his hand to greet Lin Tian.
At this time, Mao Weiang also turned his head,
"Mr. Lin Tian... have you seen Weibo?"
"I have."
"It wasn’t me who leaked it!"
Mao Weiang said seriously,
"Although I have always had you come to our company for practice, I’ve always maintained confidentiality very well, absolutely no leaks!"
