Chapter 117 - Stir Up A Storm

The battleof Lu Chen's fan group on the Inspur blog began at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Before that,they have continuously attacked Zhang Xiaoan, Chen Zhenni and Zhuang Hao's personalblog posts, as well as the official blog post of "Super Singer". Theresults of the war were quite brilliant.

In fact,among the four blog posts, the official blog post of "Super Singer" wasthe most difficult one to attack. The other three are basically vulnerable toattack. Under the attack of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands ofIDs, all of them have been blown up in a mess.

Afterward,the main force marches into Inspur Blog!

Lu Chen'sfan regiment, and the Lu Family Army has not been established for a long time,but it has developed very rapidly. (TN: Original text is "Lu Chen's fan group"but I change it to "Lu Chen's fan regiment" to make it sound more like they'regoing to war)

Relying on hisabundant popularity resources

1

on [Whale TV], the number of membersof the Lu Family Army with relatively high loyalty has increased from theinitial few hundred to more than 70,000, which has become the most importantforce supporting Lu Chen.

It was LiMubai and Li Feiyu who directed the counterattack.

This pair ofdouble Li combination is very strong. Li Mubai sits at the top of the QQ group tocontrol more than a dozen super groups, while Li Feiyu carries on the livebroadcast in the studio, encouraging more fans to partic.i.p.ate in it.

Lu Chen himselfhas always stood behind the scenes.

Because hiscurrent ident.i.ty is not the same as in the past. It would be a joke if hehimself personally brought people to attack other blog posts.

A star'simage is extremely important. After this storm, Lu Chen will become a littlefamous. He has also become a rising star in the "Singing China"program.

If he were asigned artist, Lu Chen can be regarded to have officially debut, so he must payattention to his own words and deeds.

Therefore,if he himself retaliate against his opponent, it will easily give people a badimpression of extreme character and narrow mind, which is not conducive to hisfuture development on the path of being a star.

But fans arecompletely different. It's completely natural for fans to protect their idols,not to mention Lu Chen is in the right. If he doesn't retaliate severely, itwill only make people feel he has no popularity resources.

For example,Ling Xiaoxiao, who is famous in "Super Singer", attacked Lu Chen ruthlesslywith his support group.

However, noone said that Ling Xiaoxiao did something wrong, because he had never made anyunfavorable remarks against Lu Chen or Stray Cat from beginning to end. Andeven if the truth came out now, it would not involve him.

In InspurBlog, someone revealed that Ling Xiaoxiao has signed up with Juxing Companybefore partic.i.p.ating in "Super Singer". This is also the basis forhis rapid popularity in this talent show of Xiangnan Satellite TV.

And the bossof Juxing Company is precisely Jin Hongwei, who Lu Chen refused to sign with!

Lu Chen isnot an idiot. For Ling Xiaoxiao to get involve, he should have someone to relyon.

Of course,this does not mean that Lu Chen will just watch the fun by the side and donothing. Through Li Mubai and Li Feiyu, he laid down the basic rules of actionsfor this counterattack. That is, he only fought back against Zhang Xiaoan, ChenZhenni, Zhuang Hao, "Super Singer" program team and Ling Xiaoxiao'ssupport group, and didn't involve Xiangnan Satellite TV and Ling Xiaoxiaohimself.

This is calleda directional slap in the face!

In additionto locking on the targets, Lu Chen also asked his fans not to engage in abusiveverbal attacks. On one hand, to avoid being tagged by Inspur blog, and on theother hand, to maintain the overall quality of the fan group.

Although itis impossible for so many fans to follow what he says, but reasonable andcorrect guidance is essential. Otherwise, it is easy to hurt others and themselves.

With thelaunch of the counterattack, Zhang Xiaoan's blog was the first to be captured.

As a result,the well-known host of Xiangnan Satellite TV deleted the original blog postthat attacked Lu Chen, closed the comment area and pretend to be a dead dog.Since then, no new blog post has been posted.

Lu FamilyArmy immediately pursued Chen Zhenny and Zhuang Hao under the command of LiMubai and Li Feiyu, and the latter two responded in the same way as Zhang Xiaoan.They deleted their posts, closed their comment area, and shut their mouths.

In fact,unless they apologize, no matter what they say, they will not be able to changethe truth revealed in the video.

At thistime, defending or denying will only make their reputation more and more bad!

By the timeit was the turn of "Super Singer" program team, the official V of the programteam had already established the ban to comment.

So, the loneLu Family Army launched a general offensive attack on the final goal, namelyLing Xiaoxiao's support group.

This time,they finally met their opponents. Faced with the army's flood-like offensive,the fans in the Xiaoxiao's support group didn't allow themselves to be seized withoutputting up a fight, and they launched a rather tenacious resistance.

The twosides fought fiercely in the Inspur Blog, and even landed on the blog hot spotof the day!

However,Xiaoxiao's support group's resistance is somewhat just a last-ditch struggle,because the video evidence posted by Stray Cat is so lethal that a colossussuch as Xiangnan Satellite TV had to bow its head.

At 11:40 inthe evening of July 28. Xiangnan Satellite TV issued an apology statement on InspurBlog.

In this blogpost, Xiangnan Satellite TV's Official V expressed that they deeply apologizedfor the irregularities in the "Super Singer" audition, and extended asincere apology to the person concerned, Lu Chen.

XiangnanSatellite TV has suspended Zhang Xiaoan's hosting work, and unilaterallyterminated the contract with Chen Zhenni and Zhuang Hao. They will no longer serveas judges in "Super Singer".

XiangnanSatellite TV also expressed its appreciation for Lu Chen's talent in singing.Unfortunately, the two sides have not been able to cooperate. At the same time,they look forward to the opportunity to invite Lu Chen to partic.i.p.ate inXiangnan Satellite TV program in the future!

At the endof the post, the Official V also @Lu Chen FMX and Stray Cat.

Then theOfficial V of the "Super Singer" program team posted the same blogpost.

As a localsatellite TV station, Xiangnan TV's crisis public relations ability isundoubtedly strong. As soon as this apology statement came out, the storm thathave risen against them in Inspur blog immediately calmed down a lot.

Lu Chen, whohad been sitting in front of the computer, watching the progress of thesituation, of course, also saw it. He thought about it and wrote back a short blog.

He expressedthat he accepted Xiangnan Satellite TV's apology, was satisfied with thehandling of the incident, and looked forward to the cooperation between the twosides.

Because LuChen knows very well who is the real culprit behind this incident. If he pouredout all his anger on Xiangnan Satellite TV, it would be exactly what the manbehind-the-scenes wanted.

XiangnanSatellite TV's influence in the industry is enormous. Many star idols are proudto partic.i.p.ate in Xiangnan Satellite TV programs, and countless three or fourlines of people are breaking their head, wanting to squeeze in.

Although LuChen does not need to deliberately please Xiangnan Satellite TV, but reconcilingwith them is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

At 11:50, 10minutes after Xiangnan Satellite TV's apology statement was issued, BeijingSatellite TV spoke.

At first,during this storm, Beijing Satellite TV and "Singing China" programteam have been silent.

Now that thedust has settled, "Singing China" program team's official Vimmediately announced a very intriguing piece of news.

BeijingSatellite TV has signed a copyright licensing contract with Lu Chen, one of thetop 16 contestants in the "Singing China" Beijing singing area. Hisoriginal work "Life On A String" will become the new theme song for"Singing China".

In addition,Beijing Satellite TV will also invite Lu Chen to partic.i.p.ate in the performanceof the 11 National Day party!

Similarly,in the end, Beijing Satellite TV's Official V also @Lu Chen FMX.

Lu Chenimmediately responded to express his thanks and was very happy to establish agood cooperative relations.h.i.+p with Beijing Satellite TV.

But anyonewith a discerning eye can see that this is the rhythm that Beijing Satellite TVshould strive to hold on to Lu Chen.

XiangnanSatellite TV's "Super Singer" won a new star, Ling Xiaoxiao. So, it'snot unusual for Beijing Satellite TV's "Singing China", which is competing withXiangnan Satellite TV, to also win a newcomer.

The ratingsof the two variety shows are very close, and they are fighting very hard. Andafter a few days, the second showdown between the two sides will undoubtedly bevery exciting!

At 11:54,Tan Hong, who has more than 20 million fans, encouraged @Lu Chen FMX to workhard, and create another great achievement in "Singing China" Beijingsinging area top 10 of the 16 compet.i.tion.

At 11:57,Chen Fei'er, who has more than 13 million fans, also updated her blog, sayingshe liked @Lu Chen FMX's works very much and hoped to hear his new work in thecompet.i.tion on the 31st.

The two popmusic superstars supported Lu Chen at the same time, which made Lu Chen'sreputation in Inspur Blog suddenly increase. In just half an hour, the numberof blog fans has increased by more than 100,000, and it is still increasing.

Lu Chen alsoimmediately expressed his thanks to the two judges.

With thestatements of Xiangnan Satellite TV, Beijing Satellite TV and the twosuperstars, the storm that lasted for two days finally came to an end, andXiaoxiao's support group of fans died down.

Thecounterattack action of Lu Family Army's fan group was declared a greatvictory!

It was justafter 12:00. In [Whale TV], the atmosphere in Lu Fei's live broadcast room has becomeextremely hot.

Countlessfans are celebrating the victory.

"Thatfelt so good, killing those guys like that!"

"Whenthe army goes out to battle, it is invincible!"

"Hahaha,I hope this kind of action happened a few more time. I didn't get enough fun."

"Well,the opponent is too weak and lacks challenge."

"Unexpectedly,Xiangnan Satellite TV apologized. Our anchor was so awesome!"

"Haven'tyou seen Tan Hong and Chen Fei come out to support our Lu Fei? If he's notawesome, then who is?"

"There'sno suspense in the top 10 of 16 compet.i.tion, General Lu will win!"

"Whatsong do you think the anchor will sing in the following compet.i.tion?"

"I like"Those Flowers"."

"TheBright Times of Early Youth!"

"It'sbetter to listen to "Love in The Wind"."

"Nomatter which original work, our Lu Fei will win, throwing Ling Xiaoxiao by threeblocks!"

"ThrowingLing Xiaoxiao by three blocks +1!"

"+2!"

"…"

Lu Chen watchedthis like a tourist in his broadcasting room, feeling the joy of his fans.

Of course,Lu Chen was also very happy, because in this storm, he is undoubtedly one ofthe biggest winners.

And at thesame time, Lu Chen also became very clear-headed.

Whether it'sthe support of Beijing Satellite TV, or the strong support of Tan Hong and ChenFei'er, it is actually empty. Like a castle built on a beach, a wave may comeand break it apart.

As anindependent singer, Lu Chen can only really rely on his own strength.

On this roadcovered with thorns and flowers, he needs to take it seriously if he wants togo further.

Work harder!
