Jiang Hua really seemed to have disappeared from the internet.
Even the new album was nowhere in sight.
All platform accounts had been cancelled. Oh right, that single public account, who knows who dug it out from some obscure corner.
There wasn't a single video on it, just an empty account.
But just this empty account, in a matter of days, the number of fans broke through the 10 million mark.
This was simply a miracle.
This account became the only habitat for fans, and even had the momentum of a single spark starting a prairie fire. After all, Jiang Hua had deleted all his platforms.
In the comment section, everyone comforted each other: "The third day after leaving Jiang Hua, to be honest, I used to think he wasn't doing his proper job, but now I miss him a bit."
"Oh, don't talk about this stubborn fool. He ran off without a word, leaving us only able to watch replays of Yunxiao's live streams. Those were such good times."
"Don't even mention Yunxiao. She's also a stubborn one. The people in their Little Hundred Flowers are all stubborn. They used to live stream often, but now not a single one of them is live streaming."
"It's all Su Mengxue's fault. Has anyone done a human flesh search on her?"
Sure enough, amidst the clamoring of thousands, a big shot really did expose her, with pictures too.
"Su Mengxue, former contracted artist of Huayi. Was already restless when in school, had intimate relationships with big shots outside school. Later entered the entertainment industry, relying on her decent looks, got heavily promoted by a big shot (reason unknown), but it ultimately came to nothing. Her acting was really too awkward."
"A year after idol Jiang Hua was banned, with very little savings left, he returned the rented apartment, preparing to find a new place to live. Su Mengxue, using their colleague relationship, easily lured him back to her home, because she heard Jiang Hua would be reinstated by the company."
At this point, everyone exploded. Jiang Hua, this stubborn fool, actually had times when he was so easily deceived.
The short story continued.
"I can very responsibly tell everyone, there was nothing between the two, because their principles were incompatible. Su Mengxue was just investing. Moreover, Su Mengxue often came home in the middle of the night and had Jiang Hua pick her up."
"Don't ask me how I know, because I'm Su Mengxue's former agent. Don't envy me, everyone."
At the end, they even posted a work ID and some photos.
The photo angles were the same as the photos provided by Su Mengxue.
Holy shit, this was ironclad proof! Everything was fake, even the photos Su Mengxue exposed were fake.
Her character was really too awful. Even the photos she exposed were taken by her agent.
With the collective efforts of netizens, more scandals and her promiscuous history were exposed.
With this, she was completely done for. But this wave of exposés actually gained her quite a lot of fans.
Perhaps if she live streamed later, she could still attract many eyeballs.
After all, even Ma Rongrong could circle fans and make money through live streaming.
What did it matter if she carried a bad reputation? The entertainment industry was just a battlefield of fame and fortune.
Only that idiot Jiang Hua would delete all his own accounts. Those tens of millions of fans, just one advertisement would make him take off. Why bother working so hard?
He was a big idiot.
As for Jiang Hua, he had actually already negotiated to move behind the scenes and no longer perform.
Fundamentally, he still wasn't used to life under the spotlight. After all, he had lived two lifetimes as a person.
But both were introverted personalities, a bit socially anxious.
Being on shows and creating effects, those were all tasks. After all, having been behind the scenes for a few decades, he was very familiar with program effects.
...
A week after Jiang Hua disappeared, a few donation receipts quietly climbed to the top of the hot search list.
They were just a few ordinary donation receipts, but the names were different.
Li Yunxiao, Chen Lijun donated 1.09 million, Jiang Hua donated 1.3 million.
He was really speechless. Just because the novel had become wildly popular recently, and NetEase Cloud Music had also sent over the money earned from the new album.
Jiang Hua was very rich now and just wanted to donate a bit. The rest of the money would continue to flow in.
He had already started picking out a car on an app. He was also someone who liked cars. He couldn't afford one before, but now he finally had the chance.
Even this could make it to the hot search list. It would definitely arouse others' jealousy again.
He couldn't even be bothered to explain. However, the Tomato Novel site finally seized the opportunity.
Holy shit, with such huge traffic, they didn't dare to hitch a ride, even the boss got angry. NetEase Cloud Music could ride Jiang Hua's traffic.
Why couldn't they? Besides, what was wrong with making Jiang Hua popular in the online literature world?
In any case, his popularity was already boundless.
"Warm congratulations to Tomato Golden Author Yan Nanfei for breaking 2 million in monthly royalties."
Tomato Novel suddenly releasing this information, did they have a problem? It was out of nowhere.
But when everyone looked, what the fuck was this situation? Yan Nanfei's profile picture had changed.
This was too outrageous. Old fans all knew, for a period of time, Jiang Hua liked to live stream writing at night.
But no one was clear on what he was writing. They just thought he was casually playing around.
Who would have thought he was actually a Golden Author? This made them feel utterly inadequate.
"Fuck, the novel I was following was actually written by Jiang Hua. This is too unbelievable."
"Yeah, but thinking about it, it makes sense. He can be an opera playwright, so it seems acceptable that he can write novels too."
"I was still telling my family to buy a few more albums to support Jiang Hua a bit. Looks like I was too young. His monthly royalties broke 2 million."
Jiang Hua was probably the last to receive the news.
The online novel he wrote was originally just to make money, pure novice wish fulfillment. A lot of it couldn't withstand scrutiny.
This was too embarrassing.
This book was already popular to begin with, and now even more people knew about it.
His fans had another gathering place.
"Wahaha, so my idol also writes novice novels. So this is what you're like, Jiang Hua. How many more secrets do you have?"
"Holy shit, I inexplicably feel exhilarated. But after reading it, I have an indescribable sense of awe. So this is online literature?"
Jiang Hua could only keep his eyes averted. This was an outrageous matter to begin with.
People over a hundred, all sorts. There were all kinds of people.
At the same time, many little haters also appeared in the comment section. This was nothing.
People who liked Jiang Hua naturally liked him. People who disliked him really couldn't love him one bit.
"Didn't you announce your withdrawal from the internet? Why are you still coming out to do business? If you're going to quit, quit cleanly."
Jiang Hua was completely immune to these comments. The storm from the Su Mengxue incident still hadn't passed.
This woman was nailed by her own agent, yet she still did as she pleased. She even started live streaming, and her popularity seemed to be not bad.
I must say, a shameless person is invincible. The live stream room was full of cursing, yet she could remain calm and composed.
She even played the emotion card.
"What's wrong with me being realistic? I just made the mistake that all women in the world would make. I'm very certain, Jiang Hua did love me. We even talked about marriage."
"I smoke, drink, have tattoos, go to bars, but I'm a good girl."
When this sentence came out, she directly became an idol, becoming the spiritual leader of many "good girls".
I must say, this kind of rhetoric could indeed attract quite a few brain-dead fans.
Just look at the live stream room, gifts were pouring in non-stop. She was all smiles. Fuck, wasn't this more profitable than running around doing commercial performances?
Huayi, you'll regret it. Look at me, the money I make in one night can top my income from the past half year.
This rhetoric directly hit the top of the hot search list. The storm from this matter still hadn't subsided.
She actually made such outrageous statements, simply shattering people's worldviews.
I must say, Ji Wenlong had very good judgment of people. She was just a blockhead.
