Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Jiang Ling read Xu Qingyan's highly aggressive statement twice, her expression as if she had seen a ghost, hardly believing her own eyes.

"How could he..."

How could a lyricist and composer directly attack the show's production team? Any sane newcomer in the industry who still wanted to make it wouldn't do something so extreme.

Fighting with the production team isn't unheard of, but those who dare to tear them down usually are celebrities who hold resources. They have fans, resources, and thus, the confidence.

Facing unfair treatment, celebrities can tear into the production team, and the team might even have to apologize. But that's only if the star is influential enough; otherwise, it just ruins their own future.

Just a moment ago, the production team had been openly criticizing Lin Wanzhou for being irresponsible, leaving a mess behind and running away.

Then, without any warning, Xu Qingyan released a music video that pointed fingers and started cursing the production team. His outburst also served as an indirect response to their accusations.

Why did he withdraw from the competition? Wasn't it because of your damn daily manipulations? Still playing the pure lotus flower, more like playing your mom's emerald lotus, waiting to be set up if he doesn't withdraw?

He didn't use foul language, but he made his point clear—the production team are idiots.

This outspoken and forceful commentary left not only Jiang Ling dumbfounded but also a series of others related to or indirectly involved with Xu Qingyan.

...

Almost simultaneously, Lin Chuan had just finished removing his makeup and was looking at tomorrow's schedule.

Suddenly, seven or eight messages popped up at once, startling him.

"Chuan Chuan, that madman Xu Qingyan just dropped a bombshell!"

"Lin Chuan, hurry and cut ties with Xu Qingyan, that guy's gone crazy. You'd better issue a statement and avoid any relationship with that plague in the future."

Messages like these buzzed nonstop.

Scrolling through them, he looked puzzled, thinking to himself what could have happened to Xu Qingyan? He hoped Xu hadn't done something illegal; anxiety gripped him.

Not long ago, Lin Chuan had verbally vouched for Xu Qingyan, publicly helping him dispel rumors. Although he felt that Xu Qingyan might not appreciate it, he still did it.

It wasn't a ploy, just a necessary investment in friendship.

He knew what he needed, and sometimes it was uncertain whether tomorrow or accidents would come first; one should give their all as if every performance were the last.

Climbing from one mountain to another is a long and perilous journey. The danger sometimes comes from within, and sometimes from without.

For example, Xu Qingyan, Lin Chuan seldom made such a promise to anyone, staking his own reputation to help dispel rumors. He truly trusted Xu Qingyan and was willing to take that gamble.

Now... as more messages came in, he himself started to have doubts.

The messages from friends were jumbled, making it difficult to understand with all the chatter. The information was overwhelming, mentioning "I Am the Singer King" and trending searches.

Fortunately, after going through the messages, he found that Xu Qingyan had only publicly accused the production team of manipulation. While it wasn't good to say such things, Lin Chuan still breathed a sigh of relief.

Publicly confronting the production team has serious consequences, a bombshell for others, but for Xu Qingyan, it only matched his character perfectly.

He clicked on the trending search and read Xu Qingyan's original post; its popularity was already decreasing. The production team probably paid money to lower its exposure.

Not only that, but the production team had also made a response.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

["I Am the Singer King" has always been dedicated to creating a fair stage environment... In the face of slander, we strongly condemn and reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.....]

Eight hundred words of fluff essentially saying, I didn't, I won't, all these fans are watching. You have no proof, so don't speak, and consider this a warning from our lawyers.

Then they hypocritically acknowledged the contestants' contribution to the stage and thanked them for their wonderful performances.

Less than ten minutes later, Xu Qingyan posted again, directly sharing the production team's statement and adding a reply as a counter-attack.

"You repeat the same old tricks, saying you play dirty is an overstatement. Only using such clumsy means, you even stoop to vote manipulation?"

"If you're bad, practice more, if you can't win, don't play, acting like you're mineral water when you're just tap water?"

Lin Chuan watched the unfolding verbal battle, his eyelids twitching. It was the first time he saw such an aggressive lyricist and composer, because of dissatisfaction with the show's behind-the-scenes dealings, going public to fight it out.

If it were an ordinary lyricist and composer, it might not even make the trending searches. The problem was, Xu Qingyan had too many controversies around him; he had been on the trending searches countless times in a month.

Great talent, a busy schedule, and a complex character.

It was hard to say, even Lin Chuan couldn't guess what Xu Qingyan was planning. But to say that this was a major event was a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, Xu Qingyan wasn't a guest singer; his song ranked penultimate. There was also the production team moving the camera away during Pei Muchan's vote counting, showcasing oddities everywhere.

Anyone with clear eyes could see the editing, no wonder Xu Qingyan couldn't stand it any longer. With his temper, the fact that he had endured this far was actually surprising.

Lin Chuan took another look at the comments and realized most of them were from paid internet trolls. A closer look revealed the trickery; the timings of the comments and responses were nearly identical.

"So annoying, this Xu Qingyan, always trying to grab attention, I'm sick of seeing it every day."

"A score of six hundred thirty votes isn't low, Xu Qingyan is just too arrogant. Does he think his songs must always be first or second?"
