Chapter 234: Maybe I’m A Fake Fan
“How’s it going on your end?”
Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen said to each other, unanimously. They had looked at the Weibo status and shook their heads at the same time. They then looked towards Meng Fan.
Meng Fan shrugged. “I don’t have the tolerance.”
“Then is he really losing fans and getting attacked?”
“That makes sense though. I mean, we saw the videos. No matter how much they liked him before, it’s hard to not get angry after seeing what he’d done. He will definitely lose fans, but I didn’t think they would destroy him so recklessly.”
“Call it a profound righteousness!”
“If this is the case, we won’t even have to use the tactics we prepared.”
“I think this is the best outcome.”
“Yes! Meng boss really is a lucky man. Even without our preparations, he would still be okay.”
Meng Fan was thinking as well. Could it be his +1 luck in action?
They continued to film their MV as the commotion continued in the discussion boards on Weibo—most of it consisting of curses and scolding—and soon, it became a chaotic scene of the uprising of anti-fans.
This video spread quickly throughout the internet, which was also quick to criticize. Meanwhile, the Korean netizens had gone into silence.
Most of the famous websites and big name accounts on Weibo had all engaged in their trash talking. Naturally, they also commended what needed to be commended. They didn’t need Bai Zhi or Su Qing Cen to publicly announce anything. There were already a bunch of public accounts and companies twisting the story to reach a broader audience.
If Meng Fan’s “violent beating” had been the case of a regular white knight saving a girl from a male attacker, he would only receive some reposts and thumbs up on the internet. At most, they would commend him. But it would never start a discussion.
Conveniently, he had hit a K-pop star. There was immediately content to discuss.
The netizens took another look. Holy sh*t! The perpetrator already had several discussion points of his own! And thus, he was on the front page.
The reality was so. Shortly after the video, the hashtag #IronHero began trending on Weibo. And not only did the front page featured Meng Fan’s attack on the K-pop star and his bodyguards, but it also broadcasted about Meng Fan catching a thief on the bus, and crushing a pervert with his weight.
Violence?
No. Justice!
Even Meng Fan himself felt these words of praise were too exaggerated.
This incident could count as participation in a big event in the entertainment circle. It allowed him to experience rapid changes in the industry and saw how people dealt with public relations firsthand. He’d only heard of it before, but this time, he had seen it for himself.
“All good?”
“All good!”
At 2:30 pm, both MVs wrapped up filming half an hour ahead of schedule. The main content of both MVs featured Meng Fan’s sand art, and his efficiency was much higher than what Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen’s directors had foreseen. Since he was so efficient, the MV filming process naturally went faster.
This also didn’t prevent Meng Fan from browsing Weibo, as Bai Zhi, Su Qing Cen, and their team was collaborating during this time to deal with the incident.
The MV director was a very well known figure in the community. He knew of Meng Fan’s 11/11 sand art performance and recognized his abilities. However, he was still worried about Meng Fan’s ability to perform on set, so he specifically hired a creative director that specialized in sand art to assist. Reality proved that this money had gone to complete waste.
Not only did Meng Fan demonstrated a very high level of sand art skills, but he also expressed the artistic style of sand art, and even considered the plot, the frame, and the music of the MV. Not to be obnoxious, but the director only needed to point the camera at the sand art table, and mind their own business and they would be A-OK.
