When Bo Yu’s career is in full swing, a Weibo marketing user named Big Mouth Loves to Expose Gossips suddenly launches a vote on Bo Yu Should Get Out of the Entertainment.
―That Weibo marketing user specializes in exposing gossips of the entertainment, especially revealing the stars’ images that are different from the public ones.
For example, in May of last year, Big Mouth reveals the unpresentable past of a so-called pure actress, pointing out that she loves to go to bars when off duty and often has sex with different men, and posts a number of ambiguous photos of her and many different men as evidence.
The pure actress who has created the image of a jade lady for many years is immediately destroyed by the exposure of that Weibo marketing user.
Then, the actress is bombarded by angry Weibo users and experiences the haters’ verbal aggression. Now, although she still acts, she’s no longer the female protagonist.
The image has destroyed sharply, and the value has fallen. It takes only one day that she is despised by the public instead of being the focus.
In March of this year, Big Mouth posts a Weibo message again. There is only a short sentence, “I don’t believe they just come across each other, what about you guys?” [Long Pictures Attached]
The long pictures are shown that a charming actress holds a tall and handsome man’s arm and whispers from time to time with a very intimate attitude. They look so affectionate that the passerby can’t bear to look at them.
However, if there isn’t a wife who is going to give birth in the actor’s family, and the actress doesn’t have a boyfriend who has fallen in love with her for five years, they must be perfect couple.
The fact that a wife is pregnant and her husband cheats on her can be seen everywhere in contemporary society, and it can make the public angry at the same time. As soon as the exposure comes out, the male and female star who cheat on their partners are disdained by the public.
The male star cries in front of the media soon, expressing his guilt and regret, and promises to return to his family and make no mistakes.
The wife of the male star chooses to forgive him without any reason.
But the actress isn’t as fortunate as him. The society is very demanding on women, and the angry net users don’t forgive the actress.
A bad woman who seduces other people’s husband is not qualified to be forgiven by the public!
The male star sets up a company instead of staying in front of the public, while the female star chooses to turn off the Weibo comments and continues to act in entertainment soon.
However, the angry net users are not willing to watch the actress’s TV series. They insult the actress herself and her family in the internet. The comments are crude, sharp and ruthless.
When Bo Yu sees that Big Mouth suddenly launches a vote on Bo Yu Should Get Out of the Entertainment, his cold sweat comes out in an instant.

Big Mouth, “Please launch a vote after seeing the picture.” [Long Pictures Attached]
Outside the film location of the crew, Bo Yu talks with a two-year-old little Watermelon who stays in his arms at the door of a milk tea shop and crosses the street with a very happy expression.
Perhaps because of the angle, so there is only the view of little Watermelon’s back in the long picture, and the only front photo is blurred.
The mobile falls on the floor, and little Watermelon feels puzzled and turns to him.
Bo Yu smiles at him, picks up his mobile, looking flustered.
He is too careless. At that time, Song Shilin sends the child to the film location of The Young General. And Bo Yu doesn’t think that twice and leaves a handle for the paparazzi who secretly takes pictures.

Bo Yu tightens his lips, thinking deeply.
He has thought that he should make use of a suitable opportunity and take little Watermelon to appear in public so as to take little Watermelon to the crew without fear of being seen by others during his acting in the crew.
However, Bo Yu hasn’t thought out how to announce that little Watermelon is his son and the best response plan for the public’s questions!
So, it is not a good time to take Little Watermelon to appear in public.
Because he has no idea that the development of public opinions will eventually be!
Bo Yu is agitated.
*
【The entertainment is really chaotic. So, I will only focus on watching the web series and don’t want to follow the so-called star.]
【Ha-ha, anther star who keeps his marriage as a secret. A few days ago, he is still busy hyping the queer-baiting with Mo Anyu. Now we know that all is fake. So disgusting!]
【There is no rule that the child in his arms must be his son. It may be the child of his relatives or friends. Before the truth comes out, please don’t interpret out of context.]
【Disgusting! Bo Yu, get out of the entertainment! Needless to say, I have already been his hater!]
【# Bo Yu, get out of the entertainment!# I am not his fans any more. I don’t like the star who goes back on his word in the back.]
The latest Weibo voting made by Big Mouth quickly appears in the Weibo Hot Search List, and Bo Yu is caught in a dilemma because of that undeserved accident.

Nowadays, the internet is overwhelmed with Bo Yu’s negative news. The public digs out and discusses his TV series from the campus idol TV series debut at the age of sixteen to The Man’s Survival, his acting skills and his moral qualities.
Mr. Zhang says calmly, “That is too sudden. Someone must have purposely bought lots of internet ghostwriters to bring shame on you in the back. You just concentrate on reading the script and stop using the internet these days.”
Bo Yu promises on the phone, and then motions for little Watermelon to hand him the orange. He says while peeling, “I knew.”
“And, as for the photo spread on the internet, I will inform the media and hold a press conference, then you can make a clear explanation.” Mr. Zhang arranges for him.
