I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 146 An Overwhelming Phenomenon! (Part 1)
The entertainment industry.

A place where all sorts of people mingle.

Beneath the glamorous exterior lies countless sordid deeds.

These are all respected senior figures in the entertainment industry, standing on a moral high ground, seemingly "sharp-tongued" and "unyielding," criticizing this and that every day.

However, when they actually encountered some of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, they immediately cut ties and disappeared without a trace!

Whether it's the once-booming entertainment industry in Hong Kong, or in Taiwan and mainland China...

Like Zhou Yang, a madman who fears nothing more than a peaceful world!
No one has ever seen this before!
……

"I!"

"Zhang Jingya!"

"ID number is 3312**48...a native of Chongqing, a graduate of Yan Film Academy in 03...the director, investor, screenwriter, and producer of 'Love Ferris Wheel'!"

"I am hereby filing a formal complaint under my real name, alleging that the film 'Love Ferris Wheel' produced by Tianyu Media Group has committed 10 illegal acts, including tax evasion, contract fraud, and suspected money laundering!"

"In addition, Zheng Yichen, Chen Liang, and others are suspected of engaging in activities such as dual contracts, fraud, and irregular operations!"

"..."

"I have nowhere else to turn!"

"I have no other choice but to hope that the media can help me get justice!"

"Give me back my hard-earned money!"

"..."

in the sun.

[1819 Column Group]

Reporter Li Yan's hands were trembling as she held the microphone!
Entertainment industry!
Some of these unspoken rules are practically open secrets!

However, in the past, even the slightest rumor would be quickly suppressed without any disturbance!
No one else would be as crazy as Zhang Jingya in making such a real-name report!
This is a gamble with my future!

However, when Zhang Jingya stood at the entrance of Tianyu Media, in the morning sunlight, her eyes bloodshot, she shouted angrily with all her might, while frantically waving her ID card and various pieces of evidence in front of the camera, and making a frantic accusation against Tianyu Media!
More and more media outlets, reporters, and members of the public gathered around the square!

Just yesterday, she received a phone call!
The phone call was from an old acquaintance!
It was Zhou Yang, who has repeatedly appeared on the "1819" program and caused all sorts of incidents, who called!
Over the phone, Zhou Yang only said one thing: "I'm going to have an unprecedented surge in popularity. Tomorrow, when you come to the entrance of [Tianyu], you'd better bring a lot of people and a lot of security guards!"

The moment they received Zhou Yang's call, the TV station, the program team, and even the entire directing team were very excited. They immediately formed a backup team and arrived here at 4 a.m. this morning to find suitable camera positions...

What is the most important thing about a TV program?
The most important thing is the ratings!
What's most important for viewership ratings? It's the topics that generate buzz!

Everyone knows that during this period, as long as the name "Zhou Yang" is mentioned on a program, not only will social topics explode, but the ratings will also skyrocket!
This guy always manages to create all sorts of news, and this time, Zhou Yang even instructed him to bring more security guards!
What does that mean?
This means that this level of hype is very likely to cause an uproar!
Upon seeing the sea of ​​people, Li Yan felt as if her head was about to explode. Trembling, she handed the microphone to Zhang Jingya, recording every word she uttered, and then had the staff transmit the content to the television station immediately.

Oh shit!

This time, things are really about to get out of hand!
They're going to turn the entire entertainment industry upside down!

Tax evasion

[Dual Contracts]

[Irregular Operation]

[Complaint from director, screenwriter, and investor]

……

Every single topic was explosive news, enough to throw the entire industry into chaos. She finally understood why she had called security over!

........................

"Quick, quick!"

"Have someone stop them!"

"Stop them!"

"Stop filming! All of you, stop filming like the hell!"

"Quick, quick!"

"..."

[At the entrance of Tianyu Media]

The moment I saw the overwhelming throng of reporters…

Zheng Yichen's expression changed drastically, and he frantically shouted at the security guards!

He's been in the entertainment industry for quite some time, but he's never seen anything like this before!

His first reaction was to have the security guards control the situation and prevent it from escalating further!
In addition, the agent who had just run out was also shocked when he saw Zhang Jingya's continuous accusations in the distance, and hurriedly ran over to contact the public relations department!
She never dreamed that this new director, who had always been timid and submissive in front of them, would go so crazy!
"damn it!"

"What did you say?"

"You're saying these media outlets aren't our partner media? You can't suppress them?"

"Damn it! Contact the relevant personnel immediately!"

"Hurry up!"

"Damn it, [Movie Home] has already leaked screenshots and videos?"

"Grass!"

"..."

The agent received one phone call after another, each one like a dull thud, hitting her chest hard and making it hard for her to breathe.

She immediately opened [Movie House]!
A series of headlines have appeared on the [Movie Home] forum! [“Love Ferris Wheel” Suspected of Tax Evasion; Director, Screenwriter, and Investors File Official Complaints!]

[Former prop master Liu Fang of "Love Ferris Wheel" accuses the production team of withholding wages!]

[Rising star Chen Jianfeng gave a media interview: I was tricked into joining the crew of "Love Ferris Wheel" through various means. I worked 15 hours a day, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work! All for a role. But when it came time to cast, the crew suddenly changed their minds and kicked us out of the crew...]

[Photographer Xu Yunyi: We were doing the work of three people, but once the production team was almost finished with preparations, they kicked us all out of the crew...]

[Liu Haiyang, from the logistics department, complained about the shopping list of the film crew of "Love Ferris Wheel," claiming that a regular egg cost 100 yuan and was a prop egg!]

【…】

One title after another!

News stories galore!

One piece of evidence after another!

One by one, figures suddenly appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
The agent's pupils constricted sharply!
"Damn it, these guys planned this all along, damn it, damn it!"

She cursed "damn it" three times and stormed into the public relations department.

At this moment, Tianyu's public relations department was stunned by the sudden punch!
Some contacted the media to clarify, some kept calling security to drive the media away, and some kept looking up legal provisions and reviewing the news and evidence from the "Love Ferris Wheel" event...

But clearly, it's no longer possible to suppress everything in the short term!

At that moment, they were like headless flies, constantly bumping around in all directions. The noise from the phone drowned out the agent's shouts, and documents even fell down from time to time!
……

"Security, where's the security!"

"Where the hell are the security guards?!"

"Oh shit!"

Where are the security guards?

When Zheng Yichen saw more and more media outside, he immediately hid inside the company and frantically called for security, trying to drive the media away first.

However, these events occurred without any prior warning. Although Tianyu Media had a large security force, they were simply no match for the ever-growing crowd of onlookers…

Moreover, media outlets such as [1819 Column], [Legal Online], and [CCTV News] brought their own security guards. As soon as these guards rushed out, they were stopped, and several guards even had their hats knocked off in the crowd!

........................

"The website 【Movie House】suddenly saw a surge of 10 visitors!"

"what!"

"Zhang Jingya's report against the crew of 'Love Ferris Wheel' has blown up. Many netizens have rushed in, and almost everyone from Zhou Yang's crew has come out!"

"Damn, how did this trend suddenly start?"

"I don't know, it must have been Zhou Yang and his gang who premeditatedly pulled off a big stunt, damn it!"

"Why did they do this now, of all times? They just had to do it right after they finished filming 'Love Rollercoaster.' Anyone with a brain knows what's going on!"

"Damn it, what do we do? Should we capitalize on this surge in traffic?"

"..."

9:15 AM!
While the operations department of [Wandou Movie Network] was analyzing trending topics and traffic...

The management team noticed that the already booming traffic of [Movie House] was experiencing another strange surge!
He was startled at first, then his eyes widened!
Subsequently, the source of the surge in traffic was identified immediately!

[Young heartthrob Zheng Yichen's dual contracts!]

[Chen Liang, a rising star in the music and film industries!]

[The film "Love Ferris Wheel" evaded taxes!]

【…】

This series of keywords instantly exploded in [Movie House]!
There's a scoop!

Some fans even stormed into the [Movie House] to defend their idols!

Even worse, some people, always eager for drama, spread all sorts of messy and fabricated stories everywhere...

In an instant, the traffic to [Movie House] exploded!
The Internet Age!
It's all about generating buzz and traffic. If they miss out on this wave of traffic, then [Wandou Movie Network], which is already lagging behind [Movie Home], might lose another wave of users...

He rushed into the office!
In the office!

Zheng Long, chairman of Wandou Film Network, is on the phone.

But this time...

Unlike the previous time when Zhou Yang was blacklisted, their statements were not consistent!
Even the previously very united behind-the-scenes investors are now in complete disarray, with all sorts of conflicting opinions circulating!
[Tianyu Media] wants us to immediately block all news and minimize its impact...

However, several shareholders of film companies such as [Huashang Brothers] and [Shengshi Entertainment] suddenly changed their tune, frantically trying to get them to absorb this wave of traffic and make the matter as big as possible!
Zheng Long's head was buzzing from the voice on the other end of the phone...

Ultimately, we chose natural treatment!
"Don't worry about it!"

"Don't suppress the heat!"

"We'll either get the buzz or we won't. This time, let the netizens decide!"

"If the reporters on the front lines give us material, we'll use it; if they don't, we'll pretend we know nothing!"

"..."

I saw the manager, Cheng Zhang, rushing over.

After guessing his purpose, Zheng Long left only this sentence!
