Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

Almost twenty minutes after He also uttered his angry outburst.

His original words, along with photos and audio recordings, appeared directly online, and these words and audio recordings are being continuously forwarded to various platforms and portals.

Such a large-scale operation and unified action, along with the way the information was disseminated, is not surprising at all; someone is deliberately trying to escalate this matter.

He immediately realized that someone was trying to cause trouble.

But for a moment he wasn't quite sure who was trying to get him.

He doesn't remember offending anyone during this period.

As for those old guys you mentioned?

It's not that He looks down on them, but many of them probably don't even know what the internet is, let alone know how to use it.

Yet these people who know nothing about anything have actually used public opinion tactics and propaganda methods that are beyond their comprehension. This clearly indicates that someone is hiding behind them, setting up a stage for them to perform and compete with He Ye.

The only unclear point is whether this group is targeting He Ye or those veteran directors who are occupying the seats.

Or perhaps they wanted to burn down someone even higher up?

Because of limited information, it is currently unclear who is leading this public opinion.

After all, online trolls have existed almost since the birth of the internet.

Two well-known online troll leaders in the Chinese entertainment industry are Wang Changtian and Cai Yinong.

They recognized the benefits of online trolls for promoting and attacking opponents almost from the very beginning of the internet, and have been operating them ever since.

Even more than two decades from now, the profession of online trolls will remain an important force in online public opinion.

He Ye has already lost the initiative, so it is impossible for him to avoid being led astray by these online trolls without any preparation.

Sure enough, someone soon relayed He Ye's words to the veteran directors.

Furthermore, some reporters who were stationed at the residences of these veteran directors also obtained firsthand information from these directors in response to their attacks.

Compared to before, when they actively criticized others, they were more or less mindful of their own status.

This time, He Ye took the initiative to speak up and directly broke their defenses with his scolding.

Come to think of it, they've been praised and respected for so many years, and now suddenly a young man appears who has no sense of martial ethics whatsoever.

Not only did they take away their profits, but they also had to strip them of their directorial status so they could continue to enjoy all of this.

How can this be tolerated?

So they simply stopped caring about decorum and started cursing.

He started by criticizing his family upbringing, his background, and his ancestors for eighteen generations, then he criticized his age, and after that, he criticized his seniority...

After criticizing those accounts, the veteran directors still felt unsatisfied, and suddenly realized there was another place they could criticize.

That's his name.

"What? What! What does this name mean? 'Who is he?' or 'Master He'?" An elderly director surnamed Zhao said sarcastically during an interview. "An eighteen-year-old kid, does he even deserve to be called 'Master'? Whose master is he trying to be?"

"Young people these days are so arrogant! No wonder we thought he was no good from the start; even his name sounds arrogant."

This novel point of contention was immediately shared and reprinted by major media outlets on the internet.

He Ye's name sparks controversy: Does an eighteen-year-old deserve to be called "Master"?

Industry veterans criticize He Ye: His name is arrogant, but he himself is even more arrogant.

Meanwhile, the online community was in an uproar due to the meddling of the new generation of online trolls.

Some people, habitually prone to flattery, seized upon this point to launch a vicious attack: "What is He Ye? Master He? What an arrogant name!"

Some people sarcastically remarked, "If you're a 'master' at eighteen, does that mean you'll be an ancestor at sixty?"

Of course, there were still quite a few rational people on the Internet at the beginning of the century. At that time, many of those who could access the Internet were people who could think independently.

Even if there were online trolls stirring up trouble, others quickly chimed in, saying, "The name is given by the parents, what business is it of theirs? You're even attacking people's names when you're insulting them, isn't that going too far?"

But there were too many sycophants and too much criticism, so the voices speaking up for He Ye were quickly drowned out.

Public opinion intensified.

On set, Liu Guonan, who had just finished instructing people to clean up the press conference venue and was about to come and tell He Ye, received another report from his assistant.

The convenience of online communication is now on full display.

But Liu Guonan didn't think about the convenience of transmission; instead, he looked at the news and public opinion with a very unpleasant expression.

After walking over to He Ye, she handed him her phone: "He Ye, these people are going too far. Look, they're even starting to curse you by name."

He took the phone and casually flipped through it.

What does it mean to "arbitrate someone's crime"?

That's it!

I ignore your barking, and you call me arrogant; I pay attention to you, and you call me presumptuous.

If you can't find any other issues with me, you just resort to blatant attacks, like attacking my name, right?

He was so angry at the actions of this group that he laughed.

"Senior, you know what, their insults were quite creative." He suppressed his anger, smiled, and handed the phone back to Liu Guonan. "'Eighteen-year-olds don't even deserve to be called 'master'... That's as if I want to be their master."

"If I had so many good-for-nothing grandchildren, wouldn't I be driven mad with anger?"

Although Liu Guonan had known He Ye for some time, he had never seen He Ye angry.

Therefore, he didn't catch up with He Ye's old route for a moment. After all, how could he still laugh after being scolded like that?

He frowned and asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"What's the use of getting angry?" He spat out his chewing gum. "Getting angry won't hurt them. Since they've done this, they shouldn't blame me..."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang.

I glanced at the number; it was my mom, Xu Wan, calling this time.

"What?! Did you see the news? Those people are even cursing your name!" Xu Wan, who had been busy with company matters, said angrily, "Are they crazy? Your father gave you your name, what business is it of theirs?"

"Mom, don't be angry, I'm fine. You know I'm not the kind of person who just takes a beating without talking back..."

"Don't be angry? You're fine, but I'm in trouble!" Xu Wan said angrily. "I'll call Ding Lei right away. I heard you say that you started buying NetEase's stock at the beginning of the year to help stabilize their share price. It's time for them to do their part!"

Indeed, as a reborn individual, how could He Ye possibly forget the opportunity presented by the reopening of NetEase's stock in early 2002?

In 2001, Netease was suspended from trading on NASDAQ due to suspected accounting fraud and faced the risk of delisting.

Although the problem was resolved in 2002 and the stock could reopen, the price only remained in the range of $0.48 to $0.7.

However, by the end of the year, the stock had risen to a high of $17.90.

Historically, it was Duan Yongping of BBK Electronics who, after immigrating to America, bought 205 million shares at the bottom of the market, not only stabilizing the stock price but also making a fortune.

He Ye, who frequently traded stocks in his past life, could not possibly forget something like this.

After all, as a retail investor, he had suffered losses in stocks and then stumbled in funds, both painful memories.

However, if I could live my life again, I probably wouldn't have these painful memories.

Taking advantage of 2002, the most profitable year, he had already asked his mother to personally buy at the bottom of the market.

However, the amount purchased was not large, only a little over three million US dollars, but even with such a small amount, he was already a shareholder of Netbear.

Ding Lei even visited them in person.

I begged them to help stabilize the stock price, and advised them not to sell directly, or at least to inform them beforehand if I had to.

He can buy it back directly at the market price.

So when Mom Xu Wan said she was going to find Ding Lei, she wasn't just saying it casually.

Besides email services, NetEase also operates a portal website, and it is considered one of the three major portal websites along with Sina and Sohu.

Therefore, if Ding Lei really wanted to restrict some of the online comments, he certainly could.

Seeing that his mother insisted, He didn't say anything more.

The internet is still in an era of rapid, unregulated growth. He has only been paying attention and hasn't invested much effort in it. Let them operate in the market first, and we'll talk about entering the market later.

But just as Mom was angrily about to hang up and contact Ding Lei, she suddenly said something else.

"By the way, your dad suggested you change your stage name. Don't call yourself He Ye anymore. It's quite common for people entering the entertainment industry to change their stage names anyway."

He was taken aback by his parents' suggestion and paused for a moment, then said, "Change my name? I'm not a celebrity, why would I change my name?"

"It's a stage name, not a real name change, and besides, your name does tend to make associations!"

He understood the meaning behind his mother's words. Judging from this, the two of them must have discussed this issue in the past few days, otherwise they wouldn't have told him so readily.

Fine!

"You can think of a name, or I can help you think of one?"

name……

Suddenly, a figure flashed through He Ye's mind.

"No need, I can think of something myself, and I've already decided!"

"Oh?" Mom sounded curious on the phone. "So soon? What's the name?"

"He Yi'an!"
