Lin Fan reached out, picked up the tea that the female hadnāt had time to take earlier, and took a sip.
"Hua Yiwu first hit the hot search tonight because he sang off-key, mocked by netizens. Heās always bragged about his music being amazing, but now his first persona has collapsed, and everyone knows not only is he not amazing, heās downright terrible," Lin Fan said.
Upon hearing this, laughter erupted around, filling the store inside and out with an air of ridicule.
Hearing these words, the female wished she could rush over and hit Lin Fan, but she didnāt dare to act. She wanted to refute, but held back the words because she couldnāt come up with anything convincing.
Hua Yiwu being amazingāsuch words were just self-deception! Just because sheās a fan, sheās been blindly bragging, but those words could only fool herself.
Lin Fan said, "I heard Hua Yiwu once released an album that sold millions and even topped the world charts, only to be ridiculed by foreign netizens. Foreign netizens didnāt really know him, nor did anyone buy his album; they thought his chart-topping was fake. In fact, it was fake; the ones helping him fake it were you fans. You fans spent millions buying his album. But even after topping the global charts, nobody other than fans listens to his songs, not even you fans love it. You spend so much money just to make him look impressive. In reality, you really think that way; others laugh at you, but you take pride in it, using the data to brag everywhere, turning Hua Yiwu into a so-called king of songs."
Female: "..."
Unable to refute.
Lin Fan said, "Of course, itās not entirely your fault. This current entertainment circle and these fan bases of traffic stars are all the same, everyone happily spends money competing to see who spends more. Spending more money means your idol is more impressive; this mentality has deeply embedded itself into the brains of fan bases. In reality, this mentality is manipulated by capital behind the scenes. Capital canāt wait for you to use money to fight because it all ends up in their pockets; they laugh at you fighting among yourselves, sometimes even fanning the flames. You may not be unaware of these truths, but you simply canāt escape them, am I right?"
Lin Fanās words were hard for the female to argue against. She snorted, "What can we do? If we spend less, weāll be laughed at. We donāt want people saying Yi Dance is washed up."
Lin Fan said, "Itās not just that you canāt bear others calling him washed up, you canāt stand anyone saying anything bad about him, including his singing being terrible. So you blindly brag that he sings well; lies repeated enough times will brainwash even yourselves. Because you help him control comments and blindly boast, Hua Yiwu became reckless, with no intention of improving his skills. After all, no matter how badly he sings, youāll protect him, so why should he work hard? Itās like a child who scores zero every test, but parents express satisfaction and reward him with 100 bucks in pocket moneyādoes this child still need to work hard?"
Hua Yiwu is like a child spoiled by parents!
Lin Fan continued, "Because of this, Hua Yiwu only needs to make himself look impressive. He uses autotune every time he sings, hiding his shortcomings to appear formidable, and fans understand, blindly praising him. Until this time, without autotune, he finally failed, and everyone knew how bad he was; fans couldnāt even control the comments. Facing the fact that your idol actually sang terribly must be painful, maddening, but itās all brought upon yourselves! Hua Yiwuās fall todayāyou fans cannot escape blame!"
The femaleās face turned red with anger; up to this point, Lin Fanās words pierced her heart, leaving her no room for rebuttal.
Lin Fan said, "Precisely because of your fansā indulgence, Hua Yiwu has become increasingly outrageous. If it were just faking singing, that would be one thing; but worst of all, he has become brazen in other aspects, like exploiting women."
"To my knowledge, Hua Yiwu wasnāt new to scandals involving women; there were news of him with female influencers before, scrubbed clean by PR. Who helped with this cleanup? You fans, under the PR teamās guidance, madly controlled the comments, smeared the woman, and whitewashed him as an innocent, naive boy tricked by women. After many such incidences, Hua Yiwu felt that no matter what he did, heād have PR teams and fans standing by him. So he let himself loose, crossing lines for thrills, and tonight, a Ms. Zhu accused him of assault after drinking!"
Hearing this, everyone around nodded; Lin Fanās points were compelling and hard not to agree with.
But the female couldnāt hold back, screaming, "Youāre talking nonsense! How do you know that woman is telling the truth? Sheās obviously trying to ride the wave for fame; sheās gone crazy wanting to be famous. Yi Dance is just pure, we fans know better than you!"
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "See, youāre already starting to smear the woman. If your Yi Dance is really so pure, why does he repeatedly fail, each time worse than the last? In reality, itās not just your indulgenceāthereās also that your Yi Dance himself is a scumbag and a villain!"
The female exclaimed agitatedly, "Youāre lying, donāt talk about him like that! Heās just too pure, those vile women want to step on him to rise, using his fame to become popular! This Ms. Zhu is no exception! You wait and see, Yi Dance will soon clarify and smack your face hard! I donāt listen to what you say, I only believe Yiwan!"
Lin Fan smiled gently, "Let me ask you, if it finally proves that your Yi Dance did something illegal, like being caught by the police, would you still be his fan?"
The female said, "Impossible, Yi Dance wouldnāt do such things. If heās caught, he must be wronged!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Alright, Iāve said all I needed to say. Sorry, I was shallow. I underestimated the extent of your blind fanaticism. Just wait and see; tonight is just the beginning, plenty of time to be enraged."
The female yelled angrily, "What do you mean by that? You act like you know something; stop pretending, you know nothing, what can you possibly know!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily, "No, I know everything."
The female cursed, "Pretentious dog!"
Lin Fan said nothing further, for there was no point in continuing the conversation.
The strong man quickly pulled his girlfriend, hurried to the counter, paid the bill, and left quickly.
Lin Fan sighed, "This fan is so typical; the negative impact of celebrities seriously distorts fansā perspectives. When such fans are plentiful, itās clear that fan bases have reached a state needing rectification. I sense that a storm in the entertainment industry is coming."
Loli said, "Hmm, Iāve already started investigating what you asked me to look into. Hua Yiwu really got himself into big trouble this time..."
