Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Wang Liping, seeing that the timing was right, stroked his stubble-covered chin and said, "That's about right, we can start talking about the topic now."

Who exactly said Dr. B is inferior to Dean?

The fans of both sides, who had gotten carried away with the argument, fell silent.

Yeah, who says Dr. B is inferior to Dean?

A temporary ceasefire was declared, and fans on both sides silently went back to 'rewind'.

Then, it was discovered that the cause of the matter was this—

A senior (and internet celebrity) music editor from Rolling Star gave a negative review to a song that is currently ranked 25th on the hottest songs chart (in the West).

Immediately, netizens dug up the tweet, directly tagged the original post, and pinned it to the top of the feed, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Then, with the same song, a dramatic turn of events occurred: Dr. B recently tagged the original song, expressing his appreciation.

This wasn't just a perfunctory appreciation; Dr. B wrote a nearly 100-word tweet strongly recommending the song.

Let's dig deeper.

Another netizen revealed that they have received reliable inside information from Rolling Star magazine that Dean will be shooting the cover for the next issue of Rolling Star.

Anyone who's been following this drama closely and knows even a little about the Song and Beauty Awards understands why the fans of both sides are acting like they've swallowed a powder keg tonight.

Rolling Star magazine has already issued its 'direct tickets' to this year's Game Awards!

No wonder Dr. B's fans are not convinced!

Seeing the shift in public opinion, Wang Liping immediately gave instructions, "Quickly, now, everyone get involved and take the lead!"

"Just say you suspect 'Rolling Star' is unfair and has some shady dealings behind the scenes!"

"Hey! Just remember, no matter what netizens argue, stick to the story that 'Rolling Star' is rife with corruption!"

Twelve online marketing companies received instructions and began their operations.

Online troll A: [Did Rolling Star magazine take bribes?]

Dean's fan: [??? Rolling Star doesn't have high hopes for Diamond this year, and you're saying Rolling Star took bribes???]

User A: [So, can Rolling Star produce evidence that they didn't receive any money?]

Dean's fan: [Can you prove you're a normal human being, and not an idiot?]

User A: [So, Rolling Star magazine got paid, right?]

Dean's fans were so angry they almost fainted.

And so, no matter how Dean's fans argued, the online trolls questioned the credibility of Rolling Star.

Dean's fans: [You're illiterate, go do some research! Rolling Star uses an 11-vote system. The fact that Dean is on the cover of two issues means that DB is really getting old and it's time for him to 'retire'!]

User B: [So, you mean all 11 editors got paid, right?]

Dean's fan: [?? Hi? Hello? Bro, are you speaking English?]

Both sides, no, all three sides, were very emotional, and even the online trolls were excited.

Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, Wang Liping said, "Alright! Now, go and question them on the official account of Rolling Star magazine."

"And that Harrison, go to his profile and spam 'How much money did you get?'"

At 12:36 AM.

Harrison was forced to respond.

He posted a heartfelt tweet:

[Rolling Star is an industry benchmark for music magazines. We operate on an 11-edition system. Everyone here is genuinely passionate about music and this job. Please trust us and our professional ethics.]

Many netizens have wavered.

[Rolling Star is fair, hey, I'm saying to those fans, you guys need to accept reality, okay? Maybe it really is time for DB to retire.]

Similar comments are rampant.

Zhang Xiaomeng raised her hand and said, "Brother Wang, the other side has also hired online trolls!"

Wang Liping said, "Not bad, you've made progress."

"But we've already achieved our goal. As long as he comes out and responds, hehehe!" Wang Liping chuckled sinisterly.

Fang Ruoxi immediately replied to the tweet using her own account:

[Reply: In that case, we'll hand over the power of selection to the public. Two days later, Times Square, *Hot Baby* vs. *Lonely Warrior*.]

[Reply: Do you dare to prove to everyone the fairness you speak of?]

After hearing this, would Harrison dare to say no?

What do people like to watch?

Simply having celebrities argue is no longer enough for them.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

No one likes a bad watcher, and netizens who love watching the drama quickly rushed to the scene.

One person said one thing, and they managed to get Harrison on board.

Yes, please say yes!

Yes! Our eyes are sharp!

[Hey? Wait, who's this guy who declared war on Harrison?]

Such voices were immediately drowned out by jeering comments.

[Rolling Star, it's time for you to prove yourself!]

[Haha! @Dean, come quick, you're going into the ring, didn't you know?]

Wait a minute, am I the only one who thinks it's pointless for Dean to fight such a nobody? Winning is expected, but what does it prove?

[PK! PK! PK! Accept the challenge, Harrison! Don't let your fans down!]

Fang Ruoxi gave him a few seconds.

Seeing that the calls for Harrison to fight had gained momentum, she released her third reply.

[Reply: Reply: Reply: What? Are you scared? Or are you busy hiring online trolls to control the comments?]

This sentence immediately 'blew Harrison out'.

Harrison: [LOL, okay. I understand. Not every musician can accept criticism. Sometimes I'm a bit sharp, but I'm just stating my true feelings.]

Below this post, Dean, arriving late, replied directly: "[Two days later, a Times Square outdoor concert showdown, right? Get ready to kiss my ass, 'little chick'.]"

Having successfully forced the opponent to fight back, Fang Ruoxi immediately suggested adjusting the position of the large screen.

Let's redivide the battlefield. How about we divide it into two-thirds and one-third?

[It's just a matter of adjusting the order to make the stage look better.]

Dean replied on the spot: [(OK.jpg) So you won't use that as an excuse if you lose.]

Having achieved her goal, Fang Ruoxi simply left the provocative Dean there, ignoring him completely.

They can call it a day now and get some sleep. They can deal with everything else tomorrow.

The four of them got together for breakfast the next day.

Li Ming placed his phone in the middle of the table so that others could see it: "This is the information I found."

Below are two open-air concerts in Times Square.

The live performance was absolutely stunning.

The sound system was faulty, so the audio in the video was blurry.

"They are willing to replace the big screen, but they will definitely fight for this good equipment. The performance is in two days, so we have to solve this problem ourselves."

"So the rental industry here is quite developed. Let's look around in a bit."

Fang Ruoxi nodded. "We can look for Jeremy. He seems to be a local expert."

After finishing her meal, Fang Ruoxi first settled the remaining payment for the previous order.

Including the 'bonus' promised to Jeremy, she directly gave him $3000.

Then she called Jeremy again.

The enthusiastic young man answered the phone with great excitement, and then, they entered the familiar routine—discussing work.

After Fang Ruoxi finished explaining her needs, she said, "That's all I need for now. Price isn't an issue, but the sound equipment must be top-notch, the kind that can support an open-air performance in Times Square."

"Okay, that's all, goodbye."

She hung up.

About 10 minutes later, Jeremy called.

Fang Ruoxi thought the matter of renting the audio equipment was settled.

“I contacted several audio equipment rental shops in the city, but something seemed off; they all said the equipment had been rented out.”

"Hey! This is unusual. I'll keep looking for ways to get around this, but I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Fang Ruoxi immediately made a guess after hearing this.

It seems that after suffering a setback last night, Harrison immediately came up with a way to retaliate.

She lowered her eyes slightly. "Okay, then please continue to keep an eye out for us. We'll also try to figure something out ourselves."

Li Ming frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the sound system?"

Fang Ruoxi hung up the phone. "It's probably because Harrison and Dean can't swallow this."

Wang Liping didn't mind thinking the worst about this 'grandson,' saying, "Since they've done it, they'll definitely go all the way and won't leave us a single piece of usable equipment."

But then his eyes lit up. "Hey! I remember Dr. B's shop has pretty good equipment; it'd be more than enough for an outdoor concert!"

"We'll help him 'teach Dean a lesson' and ask him for sponsorship—no, to borrow some equipment—isn't that too much to ask?"

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

Li Ming: "..."

Zhang Xiaomeng: "..."
