Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Chapter 23 Variety Show Popularity Arrives

The system gave a reward when Fang Ruoxi finished singing "Painting Heart".

It wasn't until she left the fruit stand that Fang Ruoxi finally paid attention to checking the rewards.

[Reward Settlement: Perfect performance of "Painted Heart" grants 6 days of additional life.]

Huh? Something's changed since last time.

This 'perfect performance' earned me 6 days of life.

Last time, I was only given 3 days. Could it be because when I first publicly sang the new song, the system only gave me the rating of "successful performance"?

Fang Ruoxi seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that if I have the opportunity in the future, I must get a 'perfect performance' rating when I sing a new song for the first time.

Otherwise, she would feel bad about wasting these three days.

After this system message, there were no further rewards.

As for the experience points needed to upgrade the music library level, Fang Ruoxi guessed that the system would only calculate the experience reward after "Painting Heart" was officially broadcast.

Zhang Xiaomeng is increasingly taking on the role of a manager, walking around talking about work while carrying a small notebook.

“You said we’d go to Zou Rong’s recording studio to record a song after the show. I’ve already made arrangements with Zou Rong, but there’s a problem. I originally wanted to use the money I earned from appearing on this variety show to pay for the studio rental.”

“You still have a lawsuit with Guanghua, and the bulk of the money from selling the songs will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.”

"But now..." Zhang Xiaomeng was afraid that the variety show was doomed, thinking of the deputy director who had been scolded by Director Zhou.

"Don't worry, they can't shut down this variety show. As for the ratings..."

Fang Ruoxi took out her phone and browsed through the blogs.

Just as she expected.

"I Want to Be a Singer" became a huge hit, but it was a case of being famous through controversy.

Another secretly filmed video was posted by a blog account that claims to "do good deeds anonymously".

In the video, Han Feifei, with tears in her eyes, bows deeply to the audience.

The photographer zoomed in, revealing a head of flowing black hair and a few glistening tears.

This short video clip ends here, lasting only eight seconds.

Fang Ruoxi: "..." Han Feifei was surrounded by a large group of people; it's likely that some of them were specifically there to film these kinds of videos for her.

This kind of camera work can't be mastered without shooting 10 years of melodramatic campus idol dramas.

Then, another short video was uploaded.

In the video, Han Feifei, like a naive and innocent heroine in an idol drama, leans forward, desperately trying to convey a certain spirit to the viewers:

She never bows to evil forces; her pure white soul is never stained.

The climax of the video is when Han Feifei, her face streaked with tears, runs out of the studio in a disheveled state.

Fang Ruoxi stared at the two videos with the beginning and end cut off, then looked at Han Feifei's ambiguous 'departure declaration'...

Teacher Chen probably hasn't seen it yet, otherwise he would already be criticizing it on his blog.

Fang Ruoxi searched for Chen Hong's blog account and followed it.

As expected, Chen Hong herself is living a peaceful life, but Han Feifei's fans have already started stirring up trouble.

【Aaaaaah!! I'm so angry! What did you dog of a variety show and its director do to bully Fei Fei like this?! (Dripping blood knife.jpg) (Dripping blood knife.jpg)】

【No! I'm asking why the head judge was suddenly changed? Did you think there wasn't enough trouble when Zhao Tianwang was the head judge? @Chen Hong, come out and give an explanation. Why are you causing so much trouble as soon as you arrive?】

[Is Chen Hong taking advantage of her status as a superstar to bully and harass Han Feifei on the show?]

Is Chen Hong jealous of Han Feifei's good looks? (Grinning face.jpg) Otherwise, why doesn't she target the other male judges?

[A perfectly good show has been ruined by this troublemaker; one person is petitioning in blood to replace the main judge!]

Yes! Bring back the original head judge!

The fighting power of fan groups is well-known across the internet. Even though Chen Hong, who embodies positive energy, has a good public image, she still avoids these people who fight on behalf of their idols.

Fang Ruoxi glanced at it only once before exiting Teacher Chen's blog homepage.

She doesn't need to worry about Teacher Chen; Director Zhou will probably put in a good word.

Refresh the page, and Han Feifei's incident has already topped the trending search list—Han Feifei is suspected of being bullied on the show "I Want to Be a Singer".

Zhang Xiaomeng also saw it, and was completely stunned after reading it.

"I! I fucking idiot! How can these people be so shameless?? No! The evidence was recorded on the show, how dare they still distort the truth like this?"

Aren't you afraid that if the show airs, Han Feifei's public image will be completely ruined?

"And what about Teacher Chen?! Have her fans gone mad? Are they trying to offend a superstar like this?"

A black Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up in front of Fang Ruoxi. The window rolled down, revealing Zou Rong's cool-looking face. "Ladies, this is Mr. Zou's private car, at your service!"

Fang Ruoxi looked at Zhang Xiaomeng and asked with her eyes: Did you 'pull' Zou Rong to be your private car driver just to save on taxi fare?

Zhang Xiaomeng's face flushed red, and she quickly opened the passenger door and jumped in.

As soon as she got in the car, Zhang Xiaomeng immediately started cursing Han Feifei, trying to smoothly divert Fang Ruoxi's attention.

"That's so despicable! So despicable!"

"True fans follow their idols! Look at this newly trending topic! It's infuriating!"

Protect my sister! A nationwide boycott of "I Want to Be a Singer" is needed.

Fang Ruoxi saw it too.

She wasn't surprised; all the previous actions were paving the way for this ending.

She would be surprised if the person behind all this didn't have some serious skills.

They're willing to offend a superstar just to destroy her. How can they establish their authority without ruining Director Zhou's show's reputation?

Fang Ruoxi could guess what the people behind this were thinking.

"Look, I wanted to blacklist this person, but you wouldn't listen to me and even dared to let her appear on your show."

You think you can protect her, right?

"Alright! We'll see."

Fang Ruoxi held her phone in one hand and slowly operated it, occasionally tapping her fingernails on the touchscreen, making a soft 'tap tap tap' sound.

Her eyelids were slightly lowered, making it impossible to see her expression.

Zhang Xiaomeng chattered on and on to Zou Rong about what happened in the studio, "...Now you know how disgusting Han Feifei is!"

After listening to the whole story, Zou Rong frowned slightly. "You guys should be careful. She's already a second-tier actress. She's not brain-dead. She must have some backing to dare to cause trouble like this."

"Even if Han Feifei is brain-dead, what about her agent? What about the Star Emperor behind her? They've made such a big fuss... Could it be that they've already cut off your escape route?"

Zhang Xiaomeng was terrified when she heard this and quickly turned to look at Fang Ruoxi behind her.

Fang Ruoxi was seen tapping her phone with one hand. Her legs were crossed as she sat in the back seat of the luxury car, looking more like a seasoned superstar than a fledgling singer.

At that moment, she resembled a veteran diva even more than Chen Hong.

Noticing Zhang Xiaomeng's gaze, Fang Ruoxi raised her head, her phoenix eyes curving slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "What's wrong, Xiaomeng?"

Zhang Xiaomeng secretly calmed the fright that had been felt from that glance.

"Ah, that's right, what Zou Ronggang just said, Ruoxi, do you think it's possible?"

Fang Ruoxi didn't answer, but asked a question that puzzled her.

"Can you get me a secondary blog account? I need one that's a fan account of Han Feifei."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaomeng's brain was about to overheat; she couldn't understand it at all.

Zou Rong, however, said with great interest: "I have a buddy of mine who likes to follow female idols. He has a bunch of alternate accounts, almost one account for each female star."

"If you need it, I can help you get his account."

"Then lend it to me. You can tell him that I won't use his account to do anything bad or attack anyone."

Zou Rong sent a voice message, and the other party immediately sent the account and password.

Fang Ruoxi switched accounts to log in.

Upon taking a look, he raised an eyebrow slightly. Zou Rong, this friend, has certainly spent a lot of money on Han Feifei.

To put it simply, this guy is practically Han Feifei's 'top fan'.

This is good; this gives the speaker greater influence.

So, Fang Ruoxi edited a blog post, pressed a button, and sent it.

I heard that the reason Feifei had a conflict with Teacher Chen was because of the song "The Lone Warrior".

After posting, she logged out of Zou Rong's friend account.

Since the competition is spending so much money to generate buzz, it's not unreasonable for her to take advantage of the situation and grab a share of the variety show's popularity, right?
