Chapter 30 Liao Yuzhu and Yu Nuannuan's Past
"Sister Nuannuan, if they can do it once, we can do it again! We can also contact our partner public accounts and music bloggers to release press releases to refute them!"
Gu Xiaoyu's angry voice interrupted Yu Nuannuan's thoughts.
Yu Nuannuan gradually came to her senses, shook her head under Gu Xiaoyu's astonished gaze, and said in a low voice, "Never mind, Xiaoyu."
"Forget it?" Gu Xiaoyu's eyes widened, completely unable to understand. "Why? It was clearly them..."
"Listen to me, Xiaoyu," Yu Nuannuan interrupted her, her tone inexplicable. "Also, post an announcement in the fan group to restrain the fans and tell them not to participate in the debate."
Gu Xiaoyu opened her mouth.
From the faint sadness and guilt on Yu Nuannuan's face, she realized that there were some past events between Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu that she did not know.
Knowing that further questioning would be fruitless, she could only slump her shoulders in dejection.
"Okay... never mind then. Sister Nuannuan, don't think about these things for now. Get yourself together, you still have to sing on stage at the press conference later."
"Yes, I know." Yu Nuannuan nodded, earning a glare from the makeup artist.
"Sister Nuannuan, don't move."
...
"A cool milk tea, a warm heart. Syracuse's brand new Thick Taro Milk Tea, this summer, taro will accompany you."
As the Snow City new product launch began, Gu Xiaoyu took out her phone while Yu Nuannuan was away backstage.
After hesitating for a moment, she still sent a message to Lin Yi to inquire about the relationship between Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu.
A moment later, Lin Yi replied.
Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu once participated in a music talent show called Tomorrow's Star.
At that time, Yu Nuannuan, who had not yet debuted, was a contestant, while Liao Yuzhu, who had already become famous, was a judge.
During the recording of the program, Liao Yuzhu was maliciously edited by the production team.
Her comments and suggestions to Yu Nuannuan were taken out of context and interpreted as public bullying and suppression of a newcomer.
After the show aired, exaggerated headlines such as "Liao Yuzhu harshly criticizes Yu Nuannuan as worthless" and "Liao Yuzhu gives Yu Nuannuan 0 points" quickly went viral.
Liao Yuzhu and Yu Nuannuan both came out and tried their best to explain.
However, the production team chose to feign death in order to increase the show's popularity.
This was a publicity stunt orchestrated by them.
Initially, it was just viewers of the show who attacked Liao Yuzhu.
As Liao Yuzhu's rivals began buying smear articles about her, her scandal of "suppressing newcomers" went viral, and the situation spiraled out of control.
After that, Liao Yuzhu experienced a long period of cyberbullying, and she and Yu Nuannuan were forced to become mortal enemies on the Internet.
Even though the two had a very close personal relationship at the time.
However, as public opinion intensified, Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu eventually drifted apart.
"President Lin, since it's just public opinion, why not just clarify it?" Gu Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Xiaoyu, put yourself in Liao Yuzhu's shoes... No matter what, in that incident, Nuannuan was the beneficiary, and Liao Yuzhu was the victim."
...
"It's like a persistent ghost."
In a villa in Chengdu, Liao Yuzhu lay on her side on the bed, looking at the trending topics on Weibo, a disgusted expression tugging at the corner of her mouth.
"You've already made a comeback, why are you still trying to ride my coattails, especially with such a low-class tactic of putting me down?"
Let me guess.
Is the next step to have someone post the difference between the full-platform and exclusive versions, arguing that your song is actually better than mine, and then digging up old stories to gain sympathy?
How disgusting!
After turning over, Liao Yuzhu called her agent.
The call connected, and the agent, Sister Chen, answered first.
"Bamboo, you're calling at the perfect time. I have a question for you: did you buy those press releases?"
"No," Liao Yuzhu said coldly, but not in a way that was directed at her agent, Sister Chen.
"That's good." Sister Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Chen, get your public relations ready. I'm worried they might have ill intentions."
Liao Yuzhu's words instantly made Sister Chen's heart leap into her throat. "Yuzhu, what do you mean?"
"I suspect that Yu Nuannuan orchestrated this herself, and then she'll try to drag me down with her."
"Yu Nuannuan, she doesn't seem like that kind of person. Didn't you two have a good relationship before? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Hehe, misunderstanding? Sister Chen, it's easy to draw the skin of a tiger but hard to draw its bones; you can know a person's face but not their heart."
Sister Chen didn't say anything more, only that she would go and arrange for the public relations team to prepare in advance before hanging up the phone.
She later stood by Liao Yuzhu when she was cyberbullied, and proved her ability by handling the crisis before finally becoming her agent.
She didn't know much about the reasons for the change in the relationship between Liao Yuzhu and Yu Nuannuan.
Ultimately, the culprit that led to the breakdown of the relationship between Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu was not the fermentation of public opinion, but the shady actions of Xinghuo Music.
Xinghuo Music's marketing department believes that this persona of being suppressed by a vicious senior is beneficial for Yu Nuannuan to gain fans.
So they secretly fueled the flames, bribing articles to praise one while belittling the other.
People leave their voices as they pass by, geese leave their traces as they fly by.
Liao Yuzhu later investigated the marketing accounts, trying to find out who was behind her scheme, and discovered Xinghuo's involvement.
She felt betrayed and unilaterally severed ties with Yu Nuannuan.
...
A day has passed.
Three days have passed.
Seven days have passed.
Liao Yuzhu Studio in Shanghai.
Liao Yuzhu kept refreshing Weibo, Bilibili, and Douyin on her phone, only to find a few videos and blog posts defending Yu Nuannuan.
Clearly, these were spontaneous actions by fans and passersby, not the work of Yu Nuannuan's studio.
The comparison between Liao Yuzhu and Yu Nuannuan's new songs also subsided as their new songs were removed from the charts (new song chart).
Something's not right. Something's nine-tenths not right.
If Yu Nuannuan orchestrated this herself, she should have maintained the hype for 3 to 7 days before gradually revealing more information to reverse the situation.
How could the hype just fade away like that?
Liao Yuzhu was very puzzled.
She and her team had been preparing intensely for the competition, only to be told now that it might have been a false alarm.
"Sister Chen, check the backgrounds of those marketing accounts that posted the article before," Liao Yuzhu said.
"Okay, Bamboo," Sister Chen replied. "By the way, Bamboo, you should go back and rest first, and take good care of your skin. You're flying to Hainan Island in a couple of days to record a variety show."
This variety show is really popular lately; it took a lot of effort to get a spot.
...
"President Lin, we've found out. These marketing accounts are backed by Wuyou Media, a Shanghai-based influencer incubation company."
Earth Studio, Fu Mingyang continued his report.
"The person in charge of this company is named Ye Wanfeng (stage name), who once publicly expressed his love for Liao Yuzhu."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Fu." Lin Yi nodded and asked, "Do you think this was Liao Yuzhu's doing, or Ye Wanfeng's doing on her own?"
"This..." Fu Mingyang looked conflicted, hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head. "It's hard to say."
"Hmm." Lin Yi gestured for Fu Mingyang to get busy. He tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table, his gaze fixed on a list.
Guest appearance on episode 6 of season 1 of "Detective Challenge".
There are four names on the list, two men and two women.
One of them was Liao Yuzhu.
