23 Waiting (1/2)

Zhang Xiaohua did not pay too much attention to this top-level t.i.tle before.

Now that w.a.n.g Jingwen had become popular on the Internet and become the focus of netizens, it wouldn't be surprising if someone pretended to be her to create posts and earn some easy clicks.

However, Zhang Xiaohua still couldn't help but feel curious as he clicked on the t.i.tle and immediately read the contents of the page.

[h.e.l.lo, everyone! I'm w.a.n.g Jingwen, the original singer of the song 'Broken Hearted Woman.' I would like to make an announcement here. After a lapse of two years, w.a.n.g Jingwen has returned to the world of music and I am very happy to receive the attention of so many people today. Therefore, in order to thank everyone for their support, I purposely sent a few recent photos of myself, so I hope everyone will support me in the future. By the way, I would like to tell you a little secret. I'm going to release a new alb.u.m and I can guarantee that every song in the alb.u.m will be a cla.s.sic!]

After reading the contents of this post, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel annoyed.

He could be sure that w.a.n.g Jingwen herself was the person who made this post and there were actual photos of her. She had even sent more than 30 recent photos, of which there were; plain photos, s.e.xy photos, cute photos, and in-life photos. There were no traces of her previous shy and gentle image from the music video. It was obvious this post was meant to show off.

In fact, when it came to celebrity charm, it was very important to maintain a sense of mystery and a sense of distance. From the perspective of ma.s.s psychology, the harder it was to reach, the more valuable it would become. The more mysterious things were, the more people cared about it.

Taking any influential singer for example, they always maintained a certain sense of mystery and distance between fans. This allowed fans to think, hum, and chant all the time, thus inspiring fans who wanted to become idols. The urgency of close contact did not allow those fans to get what they wanted.

Once the fans had an itch, they would go through anything to meet their idols, such as; buying their idol's songs, alb.u.ms and related merchandise, or even spending a lot of money to see an idol at a live concert.

Mystery could not only maintain a fan's attention, but could also bring some commercial benefits.

If a celebrity appeared too frequently in front of their fans, such as holding out at a street event at any moment, or posting selfies on the Internet, or frequently interacting with fans, this star would lose its mystery in the heart of their fans. With the loss of the sense of distance, the fans' interest in the star would reduce and the star would lose their appeal.

For an obvious reason, there was no difference between this behavior and self-destruction.

So now, in Zhang Xiaohua's opinion, w.a.n.g Jingwen's move was equal to suicide. She was a singer who had no common sense.

A little bit of fame and she began to scream about it, not even knowing how to maintain secrecy and announcing an alb.u.m without permission. How could she become a major celebrity like this?

According to her behaviour, he was afraid that before she had even risen, she would already create obstacles in her own path.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately took out his cell phone and quickly dialled w.a.n.g Jingwen's phone number.

On the other side, as she saw the caller ID was Zhang Xiaohua's name, w.a.n.g Jingwen thought that he was specifically calling her with good news, but before she could even greet him, she had received a slap to the face:

”What are you doing on Post Bar? Who said you could interact with your fans so casually? You like to show off too much! You basically stripped for them! Did I give you permission to announce an alb.u.m? Don't think I won't enforce the contract and sue you for breach of contract”

”Boss, I...”

”I don't need your nonsense. Quickly delete all the posts and photos for me and from now on, I don't want to see any more posts from you on any websites that haven't been reviewed by me. I definitely better not see any photos that you've personally uploaded. Or you'll see how quickly I will replace you.”

After scolding and warning her, Zhang Xiaohua immediately ended the call without giving w.a.n.g Jingwen the opportunity to explain.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua didn't even want an explanation. What he wanted was complete obedience.

If he allowed this to continue and all their own stars acted like w.a.n.g Jingwen in the future, then the consequences would be unthinkable.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua must set a rule. This rule was actually very simple. That was, regardless of what he said, they must obey.

Zhang Xiaohua held his hands to his chest, his anger was unbearable, as he stared at the computer screen, waiting for w.a.n.g Jingwen to act.

After a while, when Zhang Xiaohua had refreshed w.a.n.g Jingwen's Post Bar homepage again, he found that the top post had been deleted, and at the same time a new post with the same ID was added, which reads as follows:

[Excuse me, I just had a feverish mind and was posing as Miss w.a.n.g Jingwen and posted a bunch of photos. In fact, those photos were shot by Miss w.a.n.g Jingwen when she made her debut two years ago. I actually found them and took advantage of it and deceived everyone. I reflected on my actions and I feel ashamed! ]
