Chapter 78 The Great Voice of China
Reading Settings
The video caused a huge sensation after it went viral online.
Netizens flocked to various social media platforms to discuss the matter enthusiastically.
"I never imagined that Xia Luan and Xiao Qingfeng actually had a relationship. This plot is so dramatic!"
"Xia Luan is too crazy. She was rejected but she still wouldn't let it go and even tried to kiss me forcibly. This behavior is really disgusting."
"Xiao Qingfeng did the right thing. He should have decisively rejected this kind of entanglement."
"But speaking of which, why did Xia Luan suddenly come to Xiao Qingfeng to ask for reconciliation? Is it because she regrets seeing that Xiao Qingfeng is now famous?"
"I think Xiao Qingfeng is doing so well now, he definitely won't turn back. Xia Luan is just reaping what she sowed."
"Xia Luan was the one who kicked Xiao Qingfeng away, and now she wants to get back together. I've never seen such a shameless person."
Those with a keen eye immediately saw the crux of the matter: it was obvious that Xia Luan regretted her previous decision after seeing Xiao Qingfeng's sudden rise to fame, which was why she disregarded her reputation and sought reconciliation.
Some celebrities and industry insiders are also discussing it privately. Some celebrities praised Xiao Qingfeng's decisiveness, believing that one should be decisive when it comes to matters of the heart.
Some people also believe that Xia Luan's behavior may have a significant impact on her acting career.
Some entertainment reporters, like cats smelling fish, began digging for more details about the couple's relationship, and various rumors and gossip started circulating in the entertainment industry.
After seeing the trending topic, Xiao Qingfeng was speechless. Although he had a clear conscience, the thought that his identity had been exposed and that he could no longer live in this place meant he had to buy a house as soon as possible.
But he knew he had to respond to this, so he logged onto Weibo.
"Dear friends, regarding the recent events, I want to say that the past is the past and I don't want it to be mentioned again. There is no possibility between Xia Luan and me anymore, and I hope everyone will stop speculating. I only want to focus on music creation, and I also hope that Xia Luan can live her own life well. From now on, let's each be well and not disturb each other, so that we can all move forward to the future. Thank you for your understanding and support. — Xiao Qingfeng."
Xiao Qingfeng's statement has once again sparked heated discussions among netizens.
"Xiao Qingfeng is so decisive, he can distinguish between the past and the present, kudos!"
"That's how it should be: focus on your career, and let bygones be bygones."
"I hope Xia Luan can let go soon and we can each move on to a better future."
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry also expressed their approval of Xiao Qingfeng's statement, and Han Hong even liked Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo post immediately.
Everyone understands that when it comes to relationship issues, you need to make a clean break to move forward better.
Xiao Qingfeng also demonstrated his dedication to music and his firm belief in the future through his actions.
Meanwhile, Cheng Yue, the general manager of Phoenix Media, was furious upon seeing the news and flew into a rage.
"Didn't I already tell Xia Luan not to appear in public recently? Well, she comes right out of the gate with a huge mess. Where is she? Where is she?"
Huang Ju fell silent, trembling as she said, "Xia Luan hasn't given any notices these past few days, so I haven't gone to see her. I don't know where she is now; she should be at the police station!"
Cheng Yue's face turned ashen: "What kind of manager are you? Why don't you call and ask them right now?"
"Okay, I'll call right now!"
Huang Ju dialed the number, but the phone was switched off!
"The phone is off, she must be at the police station!" Huang Ju said, looking panicked.
"Mr. Cheng, I'll go find her right now and bring her back!"
Cheng Yue said coldly, "Forget it, she's courting death. Release a statement to terminate the contract with Xia Luan!"
Soon after, Phoenix Media's official website released a statement announcing the termination of the contract!
The statement essentially said that Xia Luan's misconduct seriously damaged the company's image, so the company decided to unilaterally terminate the brokerage contract, and the subsequent matters have been handed over to the company's legal department for handling.
After Phoenix Media released its termination statement, many netizens applauded, but many of Xia Luan's fans also expressed that this was unfair to Xia Luan and went to Phoenix Media's official Weibo account to protest.
Xiao Qingfeng's popularity is soaring right now, he has also established a relationship with Han Hong, and he has the support of state media. His future looks bright.
However, some people were filled with hatred. Besides Jing Chenxi and others, there was another person who also hated Xiao Qingfeng: Cai Qiong.
Because he previously acted like a diva and failed to become one of the initial singers on "Singer Who Makes Waves," he naturally needs to maintain his exposure during this period.
So Cai Qiong teamed up with her sister, who was an executive at Zhejiang TV, to personally plan a music program called "China's Best Voice," with herself serving as a mentor.
This naturally also reflects the intention to compete with Hunan TV's "Singer Who Makes Waves".
So she invested a lot of money herself to improve the show's effect, but the ratings were abysmal after the first episode aired.
Not only did the viewership rating fail to break 1%, but the highest number of online viewers was only 30 million.
Such a result doesn't even qualify as a passing grade.
What Cai Qiong found most unacceptable was that the day the broadcast started was the same day Xiao Qingfeng attended a charity gala, and the peak number of online viewers for that charity gala exceeded 100 million, more than three times that of her own broadcast.
It's important to understand that charity galas are ultimately small-scale events within a specific circle, while a television program in preparation is aimed at the entire society.
As a result, her own show was overshadowed by a charity gala. What's even more infuriating is that some netizens actually tagged her, telling her to invite Xiao Qingfeng to the show, saying it would definitely be a hit.
This is like rubbing salt into your own wounds; it's like killing someone by attacking their spirit!
Cai Qiong now hates Xiao Qingfeng to the core. If "The Voice of China" flops, the economic loss alone will be as high as 50 million yuan, not counting other losses.
But after seeing the termination statement released by Phoenix Media, an idea popped into Cai Qiong's mind.
Xia Luan is now desperate and has a complicated relationship with Xiao Qingfeng. I wonder if I could sign Xia Luan under my name, not for any other reason than to be able to ride on Xiao Qingfeng's popularity at any time and to annoy him from time to time.
Cai Qiong thought about it more and more and felt that this was feasible. Although Xia Luan was now being criticized by everyone, on the other hand, everyone in the entertainment industry is clean, and being famous for being infamous is still being famous.
Moreover, with me backing Xia Luan up, there's a real possibility that I could bring Xiao Qingfeng down from his pedestal.
Thinking of this, Cai Qiong called her sister and told her what she was thinking.
Soon, a large number of online trolls appeared to defend Xia Luan.
This was the first step in Cai Qiong's plan: to clear Xia Luan's name and lay the groundwork for signing her, otherwise she would definitely be criticized if she rashly signed her.
But after clearing her name, regardless of the effect, at least netizens have seen a different perspective. When she signs her again, she can market a righteous image of supporting young people.
After doing all this, Cai Qiong immediately called her agent!
"Use every means possible to get Xia Luan to sign up with me!"
