Sang Yu got flooded with @s.

Usually he gets plenty. But this time, besides the self-recommendations for The Demolition Office, they were all Xuan Leron's haters.

Asking him to deliver justice.

Yep — Xuan Leron's haters. Asking him to deliver justice.

[Please, anyone really okay with this guy as male lead?! @y_03], [@y_03, you really have the money to swap people!]

And so on.

Sang Yu found it fascinating.

Hard to describe. Probably a different crowd from before. More free-flowing. Angles coming from every direction.

After Xuan Leron's whole stunt, his fan forum sign-ins actually went up.

Along with it, The Demolition Office's follower count hit a small peak.

Sang Yu was satisfied.

He didn't care about the drama's eventual ratings. But follower count, comment count — the better the numbers, the happier he got.

Maybe vanity is baked into human nature.

Sang Yu watched Xuan Leron, started thinking about the start-of-filming date.

Usually in Domestic Entertainment, when a production kicks off, you pick an auspicious date. Burn incense. Pray to the four directions. Hand out red envelopes.

He was originally going to skip it.

Like skipping a cutscene in a game.

But on second thought — for the experience, he found someone to handle it.

Sang Yu was full of drive and curiosity about this whole new world. Not yet knowing his reputation in the industry had taken a strange turn.

[Netizen Chat Zone | Eighteen-Tier Nobody Gets Cyberbullied Nationwide, Pork Rong Proved One Thing For Me] ———— [Original Post] rt. Feels like the clout-chase actually worked? He's got a name in Domestic Entertainment now. [3rd Floor] Can Plague Bro's* (one of Huang Yunwen's derogatory nicknames) brain-dead fans stop picking fights? The barefoot don't fear the shod. Look, they made themselves a joke lmao. [5th Floor] Where is this 'cyberbullied nationwide' coming from? Can Plague fans stop acting like the whole internet is plague-stricken? Only their own family feud, okay? Rubberneckers are just watching the show. [7th Floor] Some people should hide their skin tighter. No matter how many derogatory nicknames you invent for Huang Yunwen, it doesn't change the fact that he's the one getting dumped. [9th Floor] How can you call them derogatory nicknames when they're just... accurate? Golden Legend wasn't getting plagued to death for nothing, right? Who's watching Plague Bro's donkey face on the big screen? [11th Floor] I'm literally crying laughing. [Yun] chicken only got caught because that Sang guy had leverage on him, right? Instead of properly playing dead, he keeps stirring shit and getting caught again. Learn from your mistakes, dude? Got any brains? Dragging his own boss down with him. [12th Floor] The rubberneckers' impression of Yun fans is pretty much set now, right? Low-IQ, stinky mouths, rabid dogs. [13th Floor] What the hell am I even reading. [17th Floor] Honestly, if they try any harder, they could be Domestic Entertainment fan groups' signature stray dog archetype. [21st Floor] [Meat] and [Yun] are now sworn enemies. More annoying than the old rivalries. [25th Floor] Wait, they have their own custom emoji now??? [31st Floor] So I really did get a name from the clout-chase, huh? That pork chop emoji wasn't used by anyone before. Now it's basically exclusive. [36th Floor] Can he make it into the 'waiting to explode' tier? [41st Floor] ? In your dreams. [45th Floor] You're insulting the 'waiting to explode' tier. Sure, a few platforms' princes have been 'waiting to explode' forever. But they have real big-studio backing. Can walk into any S+ drama. Steal the female lead's spotlight. [Meat] is what, exactly? [51st Floor] The Demolition Office can't even get on broadcast TV. Worse than your average period romance. Destined to quietly wrap up on streaming with zero fanfare. [56th Floor] But that one move was pretty clever, right? At least [Yun]'s fans and the old rival fans laughing at the show will never forget [Meat]'s name. Dying laughing. [61st Floor] The textbook example of clout-chasing your way to fame... [64th Floor] [Yun] is so pitiful. Got stuck to him, some leech sucking blood off his back... [71st Floor] The more Plague fans play victim, the funnier it gets. [78th Floor] Not a fan... I feel like [Meat] is destroying Domestic Entertainment's ecosystem. I have a natural dislike for people who take these shady shortcuts. [83rd Floor] ? Do Huang Yunwen fans really think everyone forgot their family was the one clout-chasing top-tier families first? Back then they were latching onto the 'Four Big Traffic Stars'... [87th Floor] That's not really clout-chasing... Huang Yunwen had a hit drama back then. [91st Floor] Can Plague fans go back into seclusion for three months before posting again? The mmr (cute people) stench is suffocating me! [100th Floor] Keep performing. [104th Floor] Random drop in the chaos — yyb* (Yao Yingbo) was photographed leaving Huajing International. [109th Floor] ? Caught cheating? [113th Floor] Cheating wouldn't even matter. Every period romance fanbase would help whitewash for him. They're counting on him to direct their dramas. [117th Floor] Huajing International office building, not a hotel. This forum is really done. I have a new understanding of the age range in this thread... [118th Floor] Holy shit. Aurora Entertainment is in Huajing International. [124th Floor] ? [130th Floor] ? Doesn't mean he went to Aurora. There are so many floors. [136th Floor] Hope it's fake. [141st Floor] Probably a stunt. Walked around to be photographed on purpose. That's my guess. [149th Floor] If it's real, then The Starry River is done. He was supposed to direct next quarter. [154th Floor] Ye Siniann doesn't have that kind of luck. Probably gonna have to wear that helmet wig again to play the peerless beauty. Gonna get roasted again. [160th Floor] Nothing's even confirmed and a bunch of people are already doom-posting? Are you guys paid shills? [165th Floor] So what if he really went to Aurora? You gotta talk to negotiate. Who can guarantee it'll work out? [176th Floor] A bunch of people fearmongering over nothing. [180th Floor] What if yyb sold out for money? [Ye] fans should prepare early. Tell your company to fight for it. Otherwise if he gets poached, you're done! [185th Floor] Damn. [Yun] took an L from Pork Rong, and now [Ye] can't even compete? Aren't they both current top-tier? [192nd Floor] Saying 'both' — who's on whose level? Night Pot fans* (one of Ye Siniann's derogatory nicknames) stop sneaking your idol a tier upgrade. [199th Floor] What is that Sang guy's deal? Can he get any more chaotic? I seriously can't read him... [206th Floor] I can't read him either. That company is ghost-hand one moment, god-hand the next... I'm gonna throw up. What are they even doing?! [211th Floor] Money really is everything. The moment Pork Rong got attached, he started shaking like a dog with a powerful owner. Literally going full Fan Jin. If this actually works, Domestic Entertainment is finished. [230th Floor] [Yun] chickens stop fearmongering. Pork Rong only went off on the [Yun] chickens who came to his fan forum to throw tantrums. Who's sinking with you?! [238th Floor] Night Pot fans should be the ones putting in effort, right? If yyb really gets poached, gege is gonna leave another bold stroke in the gallery of ugly period-drama men. Hehe. [250th Floor] Alright, war's coming. Everyone prepare to retreat.

[Netizen Chat Zone | Whether It's Real or Not, I'm a Little Jealous (Decoded)] ———— [Original Post] rt. Ugh, outside I don't dare say it. Who wouldn't want their idol to get a full marketing package? [1st Floor] +1 [3rd Floor] Honestly, me too (. [7th Floor] This marketing team nowadays is too good. Whether you're laughing at it or watching the show, the attention's already there. [10th Floor] If money power pulls yyb in... The original author participates in screenwriting. yyb directs. Script doesn't get butchered + looks good. That's a passing grade. I'm jealous. I'd happily get my idol this kind of package. [15th Floor] That's a stretch, no? S+ projects aren't better than this? It's an amateur crew... the art director isn't even professional. [20th Floor] Personal experience. For professional work, finding old-timers is worse than finding middle-timers. Or even young-timers. The veterans love to slack off. [24th Floor] Huh? You actually believe that 'hidden master among the masses' marketing? Definitely just a name-lending thing. Someone else is actually doing the work. Probably yyb is also just a front. To maintain hype, the stunt's already done. [29th Floor] Not necessarily. Money really can do anything. [32nd Floor] I don't see anyone discussing this. yyb will definitely direct. Because this drama's goal was big from the start. You believe that guy's BS about 'making flops I want to watch'? The drama didn't flop. Domestic Entertainment hasn't done a paranormal theme in forever. The hook is enough. Haven't you seen everyone in the thread discussing it? The marketing package is half-successful already. [37th Floor] The best way to get famous through clout-chasing. First [Yun], then [Grass], now who in any fan group doesn't know Pork Rong? [42nd Floor] Damn... [51st Floor] The more you think about it, the scarier it gets. [59th Floor] Believe it or not, that Sang guy is probably just a shell account. Whoever's running the Weibo is a marketing mastermind. [67th Floor] Definitely! Pork Rong's qualifications — give him ten more male lead roles and he still won't blow up. Generic face. Forgettable. [70th Floor] Every company should watch out for the mastermind behind him. Hope someone exposes them soon. These shady tactics are terrifying...
