Chapter 413 Abandoned! Delivered to Your Doorstep!
Su Haoze was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
His sasaeng fans all launched a vote, how did this situation suddenly happen?
The key point is that this voting ratio is changing rapidly over time.
Soon only 70% of his supporters remained, then 65%.
Su Haoze had no appetite at all, especially since the number of people supporting him had quickly fallen below 60%.
"Why is this happening?" Even Fei Jie, the agent, felt it didn't make sense.
In the past, Su Haoze would have an overwhelming advantage in these types of polls as long as he wasn't facing off against other top young male celebrities. But now, it's completely unreasonable.
"Sister Fei, it must be Chen Jincheng's fans who started this." The assistant guessed instinctively.
Fei shook her head: "Even if Chen Jincheng is the top male singer, can he compare to Haoze's sasaeng fans in terms of fan mobilization? Besides, we've hired a lot of online trolls to stabilize the ratio. Does Chen Jincheng have that many fans?"
As they were talking, they noticed that only 58% of the respondents supported Su Haoze.
"This is unbelievable!" Sister Fei was even more astonished.
He knew how many online trolls Su Haoze had hired to vote, meaning that if the data were real, the percentage would be even lower.
Soon, the approval rating dropped to only 55%.
Su Haoze and Sister Fei both knew that this was abnormal and there must be a reason.
So the two of them quickly went online to check the situation, but they only found that Chen Jincheng had posted a dance video, which showed him leading the Cheng girl in dance practice.
The number of likes made both of them widen their eyes – over 700 million likes in such a short time!
With such data, how many likes will there be in the end?
Su Haoze subconsciously clicked on the comments section:
"Haha, it's so much fun to see Chen Jincheng dancing with Miss Cheng."
"When I saw those Cheng girls dancing solo before, I wondered when Chen Jincheng would take them to dance together!"
"Chen Jincheng really knows how to have fun. Just watching his short videos is so entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing him dance with girls at the New Year's Eve gala."
"..."
"That guy Su Haoze thinks he can compete with this dance by singing an English song? It's hilarious."
"Yeah, I voted for Chen Jincheng. I don't believe that with this cheerful dance, the ratings can't even beat a young heartthrob."
"Anyway, I'll definitely go see Chen Jincheng and give Su Haoze a piece of my mind. I've been annoyed with that guy for a long time."
"..."
Upon seeing these comments, Su Haoze immediately flew into a rage: "It must be paid trolls, Chen Jincheng must have hired a lot of paid trolls."
An angry person cannot feel happiness, so after watching the video, he didn't think much of it.
Just then, Sister Fei's phone rang, and a video call popped up. Surprisingly, the other party was her boss.
Without hesitation, she answered the call immediately and shouted into the phone, "Boss, the situation online is not good for Haoze. I need to apply for the company's online army to help him."
The boss was furious upon hearing this: "Still helping him? Xiaofei, what did I tell you before? Didn't I say I didn't want to offend Chen Jincheng too much? Who told you to go so far online?"
Fei Jie was taken aback when she heard this: "Boss, didn't you say that if we weren't directly targeting Chen Jincheng and not giving them any leverage, and if they were going to come after us, the company wouldn't be afraid of them?"
Su Haoze immediately said, "Boss, I didn't directly target Chen Jincheng either. In fact, I even posted on Weibo to advise those obsessive fans not to blame others. My move was brilliant; Chen Jincheng was completely helpless!"
The boss was so angry he laughed: "Fine, fine, I shouldn't have said that. No wonder people online say that young male idols are idiots. How come my company has such an idiot artist like you? If it weren't for the fact that you can make money, I would have sent you to clean toilets right now."
"Did I ask you to create hype so you could name names and play a poll against them? To act like a green tea bitch and pretend to be innocent on Weibo to gain sympathy from obsessive fans and incite them to attack Chen Jincheng's page? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
"Do you know that Sister Hong from 'Second Star' has already been blacklisted by our company? Not only you, but also any of our company's artists will be unable to appear in any dramas on the 'Second Star' website in the future."
"How dare he?" Su Haoze was taken aback and immediately said, "Boss, even so, there are still iQiyi and Tencent Video. These two companies have grudges against Ershixingchen. Why should the dramas we starred in be shown on Ershixingchen's website?"
The boss was clearly furious: "Do you think you can just get on Tencent or iQiyi? Do you think they'll approve of your show? Do you think they'll agree to your price? Besides, even if you don't want to go on, the production team really wants to go on 'Second Generation Stars.' Everyone knows Chen Jincheng's eye for talent in film and television these days."
"And I have good news for you. The production team of 'The Thunder' has informed us that they have decided to replace you. It's all your own fault."
Su Haoze was stunned when he heard this: "How is that possible? I've already filmed so many, why would they replace me?"
The boss was too lazy to explain and said indifferently, "Because I agreed to replace you with Jingyu to reshoot the scenes. Also, don't cause any more trouble. This matter ends here, or you'll be in big trouble."
iQiyi and Tencent Video?
If the Second Generation Stars interfere, the two companies might agree to the production team's offer in order to compete and suppress the Second Generation Stars.
That was the case originally; the production team of "The Thunder" and iQiyi were still in negotiations and were just about to reach an agreement.
With several major dramas already airing in 19, including "The Legend of Haolan," as well as IP projects like "The Peerless Lady" and "River God," Keqiyi doesn't seem to have high aspirations for "The Thunder."
Prices are also fluctuating.
Who knew Su Haoze would cause this mess? Aiqiyi knew that the production team's offer had already been rejected by Tencent, and now that Er Shi Xing Chen was blacklisted, how could they possibly agree to that price? This completely baffled the production team.
It's just a matter of changing actors; we can still continue working together. Replacing them with other young, attractive actors from his company for reshoots is already the best possible outcome.
Honestly, he used to think that Su Haoze, this young heartthrob, was ostentatious and arrogant, and that he might make money for the company, so he should support him until he faded into obscurity. But now it seems that being too stupid is also not a good idea.
Fortunately, the company still has Cai Xukun. Although he didn't come in first place in that idol variety show and didn't receive as many resources as Su Haoze, the company still decides who gets resources.
At least Cai Xukun knows a bit about humility. When others joke about his basketball videos, he doesn't get angry. Instead, it makes him very popular and his popularity rises rapidly.
That's what smart people do.
What he needs to do now is to take Huang Jinyu, the new lead actress, and the production team to visit the Second Generation Stars and ask for their forgiveness.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Haoze could make money for the company, he wouldn't have bothered cleaning up this mess.
We also can't support the performance on Jiangsu TV.
Every time the other party performs on TV, the company also spends resources to promote and publicize it; otherwise, relying solely on sasaeng fans wouldn't achieve the same effect.
Now that an apology is being made, Su Haoze should naturally suffer a bit, otherwise it would be unfair to him for cleaning up this mess.
...
Su Haoze was completely bewildered by this news.
People from the company that produced "The Thunder" analyzed that the show was good, and he felt the same way when he was filming it. He was hoping that this show would turn things around after his previous TV dramas failed.
Who knew that he would be replaced because of this?
Did something go wrong?
He wanted to ask his boss for help, but the video call had already ended.
"Haoze, the situation is getting worse." Sister Fei's face looked rather grim.
They misunderstood and used the same tactics they used against other competing artists on Chan Kam-ching.
In the past, when those artists suffered losses, and since there was no direct evidence against them, the other companies remained silent to avoid trouble, leading them to mistakenly believe that Chen Jincheng would do the same.
Su Haoze was furious when he heard this: "Sister Fei, you didn't say there was a problem when we were doing this, but now you're telling me the situation is a bit bad?"
Sister Fei immediately frowned and said, "Su Haoze, you were the one who was supposed to do all these things, and now you're blaming me?"
The assistant quickly spoke up: "Sister Fei, boss, now is not the time to argue about this. We should be thinking about what to do next."
Fei snorted, "What else can we do now? Since things have come to this, the only thing we can do is get higher ratings than Chen Jincheng on Jiangsu TV's New Year's Eve gala. Besides, they're going to hold a concert for Phoenix Legend later, so we need to overshadow them to maintain our reputation and popularity. Otherwise, you can imagine how much your popularity will plummet." "However, we can't use those old tricks anymore; we have to do it openly and honestly."
Upon hearing this, Su Haoze said fiercely, "Then let's be open and aboveboard. I will let everyone know my ratings appeal and show everyone what a top star is. It's not like Chen Jincheng can become a top star just by pointing at two washed-up singers."
While they were chatting, they discovered that the votes supporting Chen Jincheng for higher ratings had reached 45%.
Seeing his approval ratings continue to decline, Su Haoze couldn't help but complain: "Just how many online trolls did Chen Jincheng hire? Does he think this will affect the ratings? Online trolls can only make the show look good; they can't affect anything else."
time flies.
The next day comes quickly.
The online poll about Chen Jincheng and Su Haoze is getting more and more heated.
The result was truly unexpected by everyone.
In the past, Su Haoze, this young heartthrob, would have been a sure winner in such votes, so who knew he would lose so badly this time?
Chen Jincheng: 96%
Su Haoze: 4%
Seriously, this vote count appeared on the Douyin trending list, and suddenly it was seen by countless people.
Chu Hao usually browses Douyin (TikTok), so he naturally saw this trending topic. He had also watched the video of Chen Jincheng leading this girl in a group dance, and he was really looking forward to Chen Jincheng's performance at the New Year's Eve gala. It was so much fun.
Therefore, he decisively voted to support Chan Kam-ching.
Actually, even without this incident, he would still support Chen Jincheng. Su Haoze, that kind of young, pretty boy, is really annoying.
Despite being a top star, his singing is only good for a few English songs that are hard to understand, his acting is wooden, and he relies on a stunt double for action scenes.
They over-market and create fake personas as soon as they achieve a little success. In addition, there are those obsessive fans who excessively control comments, making it impossible to comment on anything negative, otherwise they will be attacked by obsessive fans.
In any case, their strength and status are completely mismatched, yet they still have a group of brainless sasaeng fans supporting them.
Even a passerby like him would find him unpleasant to watch.
There are quite a few people who share Chu Hao's thoughts; in fact, there are many.
There was no one who could go head-to-head with Su Haoze before, so everyone couldn't win arguments with these sasaeng fans and was too lazy to make things difficult for themselves.
Now, there's no need to hesitate; just blindly support Chan Kam-Ching.
in the hotel.
When Chen Jincheng woke up, Xiaowanzi and Chu Xiaoqing were on either side of him in his arms, also holding their phones and scrolling through today's trending topics.
Last night's arduous singing practice did not leave them exhausted; on the contrary, it made them feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Boss, less than 5% of people online are supporting Su Haoze."
"Yeah, this guy's an idiot, he's going against you, boss."
Chen Jincheng also saw the situation online, which was expected. First of all, the popularity of Charleston Dance had accumulated to such an extent that its joyful attributes were irresistible, and passersby would definitely be attracted to it.
Another issue is that young heartthrobs like Su Haoze have really poor public image.
So, with such a large number of bystanders, what do their sasaeng fans amount to? And what do their hired online trolls amount to?
However, the other party's actions have only increased the popularity of Charleston dance. Its already terrifyingly joyful nature has now reached its limit, and the joy it brings is likely to create a scene as memorable as that year's Lantern Festival.
Just then, Sister Hong called.
He knew there must be something on her mind when she called so early in the morning, so he answered immediately. Hong Jie's voice came through: "Boss, I have something to report to you. Su Haoze's company sent a letter. Their boss wants to invite you to dinner and apologize."
"By the way, there's also a film and television company that's with us. They originally had Su Haoze as the lead in one of their dramas, but now, to show their sincerity, they've replaced Su Haoze with a young actor named Huang Jinyu."
"Judging from their attitude, they probably want the drama to be produced by our Second Star Film and Television, or at least they want to leverage our film and television network to negotiate with the other two companies."
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "So, Su Haoze is going to be upset?"
"That's for sure." Sister Hong snorted coldly, "I'll have Sun Ji's side issue a ban on the other party and their company's actors from participating in any future dramas."
"What's the name of their show?" Chen Jincheng asked.
Because of Huang Jinyu, the star was already famous in his previous life. He was one of the few who debuted as a young heartthrob, was hardworking and down-to-earth, and not disliked. In the end, he became a professional actor in the entertainment industry, specializing in playing soldiers.
The fact that someone can become such a professional indicates that their character is at least acceptable.
"It's called 'The Thunder,' a crime drama adapted from a real case," Sister Hong reported.
"Damn it, I'll accept their invitation to dinner," Chen Jincheng said decisively.
The thought immediately flashed through his mind: 'Uncle Dong is very happy that you made this call, but he didn't like your tone just now!'
Although this drama doesn't quite reach the level of "All Is Well," it still achieved a 1.35% viewership rating on its premiere and peaked at over 2.35%.
The highest single-tier share reached 8.9%.
In its previous life, it consistently held the number one spot in prime-time ratings during its broadcast.
Now that this show has practically come to us, what reason is there not to accept it?
The key point is that Su Haoze was the lead actor in this drama, but he has been replaced for this reason. When the drama becomes a hit, how regretful and angry will he be?
Thinking about it, he felt much better. He then told the two sisters to get up and have breakfast together. Next, they would prepare for the New Year's Eve party that night. After tonight, the new year would begin.
2019 was also the year when Douyin and Kuaishou were locked in a fierce battle, or rather, 2019 was the year of Kuaishou. In this respect, Kuaishou's daily active users far surpassed Douyin's. Coupled with the collapse of Douyin's shopping cart function and the encirclement and suppression by Tencent's Weishi, Douyin fell into an unprecedented crisis.
If Kuaishou hadn't started preparing for its IPO by opening champagne halfway through the competition, Douyin wouldn't have stood a chance as the future leader in short videos.
However, given that technicians like Chen Yixiao haven't adapted their thinking and still dominate the conversation, some things are destined to happen.
Take Jack Ma, for example. Although he started as a technician, he never ran a one-man show. Many people have heard the story behind how WeChat came about. If Jack Ma had run a one-man show, he probably would have been killed before WeChat even came out.
As night fell, the entire city of Sujiang came alive, especially the headquarters of Jiangsu Satellite TV. The invited guests and celebrities arrived early to prepare, as no one wanted to embarrass themselves at such a live broadcast.
Su Haoze, however, was in a gloomy mood and was holding his breath.
Online support for him and Chan Kam-ching in terms of viewership ratings reached an astonishing 99.99%.
He actually only has less than 1% of you.
He really hated his boss for being such a coward, letting the other party hire online trolls and not giving him any face at all.
When he arrived, many guests naturally looked at him and whispered among themselves.
Without a doubt, these people are all talking badly about him; they're a bunch of despicable people.
But it doesn't matter. After the performance ends tonight, his ratings will surpass Chen Jincheng's, which will infuriate these people.
Thinking it over, he immediately sent a message to his group of veteran sasaeng fans: "Tonight's performance depends on everyone's support. I want to lead everyone to the top."
The next moment, the group chat was filled with a dense stream of support.
“We support Brother Haoze. I have already promoted it in many groups.”
"I also support Haoze. I'll definitely snatch the remote from my boyfriend tonight to support him."
"Brother Haoze, we will help you get revenge for the injustice you suffered."
"..."
Seeing the support from these obsessive fans, Su Haoze finally smiled a little. He thought of his previous invincible record, and today, it would be the same.
