Chapter 158: The official outcome is determined!
Chapter 158 of "Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore" opens with: Good fortune brings high spirits - when one good thing arrives, more blessings follow in... Find out what happens!
Good fortune brings high spirits - when one good thing arrives, more blessings follow in quick succession.Just as Liu Rulan was preparing to invite several other investors for dinner, the official media released a statement.
Yes, the official media.
When operations team member Xiao Zhou saw this news, his eyes widened in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, confirming the text multiple times before taking a deep breath and rushing excitedly out of the work area, interrupting the two people chatting: "Sister Liu, the official media has spoken!"
"Ah?"
Liu Rulan and Xiao He exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.
"Who?"
Was it the official account they were thinking of?
The two quickly followed Xiao Zhou into the office.
Liu Rulan stared at the large blue-background white-text header, taking a deep breath as her hands trembled slightly.
Xiao He looked at this lengthy text, experiencing for the first time the sensation of his limbs going numb.
That was our national mother!
The content published by this account almost equated to the official stance.
Although we all share the same internet, over the years, the national mother has rarely made positive statements about domestic entertainment industry matters. Recent instances have almost always carried critical and disapproving tones. The few times she has specifically praised certain artists, their fans could celebrate for ages, treating it almost like half an immunity talisman that could be brought up whenever issues arose.
This shows how important her attitude is as a public opinion indicator for everyone in the industry!
This time, although she didn't explicitly name Xiao He and his involvement in "Starry Radiance," anyone who had followed the gossip would definitely know what the national mother was referring to!
This situation genuinely shocked a large number of people.
Not just Liu Rulan - even Xiao He's phone was buzzing incessantly. People they knew in the industry couldn't contain their curiosity, coming forward to inquire, wanting to know more insider information about how Xiao He's team had managed to get official media to comment.
—But what insider information could there possibly be! That's official media - would they be crazy enough to approach official media to speak for them? Thinking their entertainment industry days were too peaceful?
Not only were others shocked and confused - even Xiao He and Liu Rulan were baffled after the initial surprise.
Honestly, with the help of Xiao He's fans, the online situation had basically become one-sided. Casual viewers and fans alike stood on Xiao He's side, while Su Shengxi's side was almost being cursed into retiring from the industry.
With the overall situation already settled, the official media stepping in served more as icing on the cake, while also defining the nature of this incident.
Of course, this isn't to say the official media involvement was bad - it's just that everyone felt the timing suggested additional meanings, as if they weren't just speaking up for Xiao He, but releasing certain signals...
Liu Rulan looked Xiao He up and down, her tone unprecedentedly serious and puzzled: "Xiao He, just come clean - where exactly does your father work? Does he need to ride in Hongqi cars when going out?"
Xiao He wiped his brow: "My father really is just an ordinary office worker! Ordinary his whole life - would I lie to you?"
Liu Rulan's gaze grew distant, her tone steady: "There's also the possibility you're deliberately hiding your identity, like a novel protagonist, playing around in the entertainment industry before turning back to take civil service exams, and from there starting a life of dominating the officialdom."
Xiao He: "...Sister Liu, we're discussing serious matters here."
Don't joke around at a time like this!
"Haha, alright, I was just lightening the mood." Liu Rulan chuckled lightly, patting Xiao He's shoulder. "What's your family situation that I don't know about? I'm the gold-standard agent - while I may step on landmines, I always clean up thoroughly! I've even visited your home to check your family situation - I'm quite reassured about you."
Xiao He breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's great—wait! Hold on! When did you visit my home?"
Xiao He's face showed complete shock, his pupils trembling.
Last time Liu Rulan only had his parents' contact information - now she's already visited their home?
When did this happen?
Liu Rulan spread her hands: "During your filming on the island. As your agent, I needed to deeply understand your family situation, including your parents' health conditions, work situations, etc. So if anything happens later, I can handle it properly."
Xiao He: "..."
Isn't our work approach a bit too thorough?
"Don't worry, actually your mother invited me to visit." Liu Rulan explained further. "I happened to be in the area handling some documents for you, so I dropped by as a guest. I definitely won't actively disturb them afterward, no need to worry."
Xiao He: "..."
What else could he possibly say?
