Clearly, Xu Jianianâs popularity was not fabricated. The moment his relationship went public, Weibo crashed outright.
The last time Weibo experienced a crash was when a former top male celebrity announced his retirement and marriage.
Programmers immediately began emergency repairs.
Lv Ran stared at her phone, dumbfounded.
It was noon, and the students were planning to head out for lunch, causing an uproar in the classroom.
âWow, itâs Xu Jianian! I thought he was the least likely to be in a relationship.â
âTo be honest, heâs only known for âTears of Kunlun.â I admit, his appearance as the Celestial Ruler is indeed appealing, but itâs not like one show should sustain him for two years, right? He must be good at managing his fanbase.â
âHe is still considered a top-tier celebrity? I thought he had already flopped, considering he debuted at the same time as Helan Ze, who has long since surpassed him.â
âNow heâs definitely going to flop. His girlfriend fans will surely abandon him.â
The students were eagerly discussing the gossip, nearly causing Lv Ranâs head to explode.
Her hands trembling, she waited until Weibo was fixed and immediately logged in.
As soon as she did, she was completely overwhelmed.
Kissing photos, hugging photos, holding hands⦠one after another, all assaulting Lv Ranâs mind.
Such intimacy couldnât exist between mere friends.
Lv Ran was furious, tears falling from her eyes.
âRanran, donât be sad,â a close classmate comforted her, âThere are so many attractive celebrities out there. Just find another one to stanâ¦â
âAs long as you switch quickly, youâll never be heartbroken.â
âStars are plentiful; if one doesnât work out, we simply move on. Speed is key to never facing disappointment.â
âHey, speaking of which, Iâve recently come across a few new stars who are quite good-looking. Iâll recommend them to you.â
Nian Yiâan returned to see Lv Ran sobbing uncontrollably, puzzled, âWhat happened to her?â
âHer idol has fallen from grace,â Lin Jihuan shrugged, âOur Qingqing is truly is ethic committee officer of the entertainment industry.â
Nian Yiâan had heard of this reputation before and laughed, âDo you really believe my sister has such an influence?â
âYouâre mistaken,â Lin Jihuan crossed her arms, âItâs mainly because those celebrities werenât moral. But indeed, those who got involved with Qingqing and werenât moral have all collapsed, while the moral ones are doing well, even becoming more popular.â
There were netizens who claimed that Si Fuqing had a fortune-enhancing aura.
Lu Ningsheng, Xie Yu, Jiang Changning, and Xu Xiyun were prime examples.
Nian Yiâan nodded, âLetâs eat. After the mock exam, we can visit the set.â
On Weibo, Xu Jianianâs fans were going mad.
In just a few minutes, comments skyrocketed to fifty thousand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Based on a few blurry photos, you start fabricating stories. Take Jianian away; we do not mingle with rumors.]
[Just friends. Jianian doesnât have a girlfriend. Please donât spread rumors, weâll wait for the legal notice.]
[The fans are still trying to clear his name even if they area already kissing? These are clearly high-definition, unblurred images, not something you can wash clean even with detergent.]
[Itâs funny, the fans are the real losers here. A top-tier celebrity, who rose to fame through his fans, using their money to support his girlfriend. And youâre still not leaving him?]
The major fans and the studio were in contact, trying to calm the other fans. But inside Xu Jianianâs forum, chaos reigned.
While small fans were easily swayed, not all were blind.
[Unfollowing. Never want to see you again.]
[Do you realize without your fans, youâre nothing?!]
[I just want to ask one thing: can I get my money back? Just looking at the photos makes me feel disgusted!]
As more and more people unfollowed, Xu Jianianâs team faced an unprecedented crisis.
Shengxing Entertainment urgently convened a meeting to address this latest headline news.
Normally, celebrity relationships were an open secret within the circle, but not disclosed to fans.
If paparazzi caught wind, they would first contact the respective teams. With enough incentive, the news would not break.
This incident was an unexpected hit.
Including Xu Jinnianâs agent, no one was aware he was in a relationship.
âWhen did you start dating?â his agent was livid, âDo you not realize you canât date before successfully transitioning your career? Do you not understand you built your career on your fans?!â
As Xu Jianianâs agent, he was well aware of Xu Jianianâs real capabilities.
His acting was mediocre at best, yet he was fortunate that his appearance in that xianxia romance drama was unparalleled, drawing countless fans.
As the leading entertainment company in the domestic industry, Shengxing Entertainment was naturally adept at managing its fans.
Disturbed by paparazzi late last night, his agent wouldnât be swayed by mere rumors.
He had thought, at worst, Xu Jinnian was caught on camera dining out with friends, a situation often taken out of context. Little did he know, he was in for a real surprise today..
