Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Lin’s fans, as well as some fans who had seen through the workings of these hired fans, became more cohesive.
They couldn’t completely oppose this group of well-trained hired fans and some TV show fans who had been brainwashed. They could only love and support Luo Lin 100%.
This love was reflected in the fact that they would repost all the things that had to do with Luo Lin, watch his interviews seriously, buy all the products he endorsed, and spare no effort to promote all of Luo Lin’s works as well as commercial endors.e.m.e.nts.
As a result, Luo Lin’s works and endors.e.m.e.nts were all publicized with great publicity.
On the internet, everyone did not hesitate to buy the products he endorsed.
On this day, it was announced that Luo Lin would be the new endorser of a lipstick brand. In just a day, the sales reached an astonis.h.i.+ng 20 million.
This was a result that Zhang Zhewen and his team had never expected.
Even the company did not expect such sales. They replenished their stock countless times, but in the end, they still ran out of stock. They could only change the link to a pre-sales link.
This was only the sales online, not counting the sales of the various physical shops offline.
Moreover, this was not the first time that the products endorsed by Luo Lin had sold at this number. In all his endors.e.m.e.nts, the sales were stable.
Luo Lin specially gave a shout-out to his fans on Weibo: [Everyone, take good care of yourself and your family. It’s good as long as you can support my works in your free time. As for the rest, you have to prioritize your family. Don’t just spend your energy on me.]
The fans’ responses were considerate and warm. [I’m an adult. I earn my own money and have the ability to buy these things. Luo Lin, don’t worry.]
[I wanted to buy them in the first place. After you became the brand amba.s.sador, I received a few more coupons. It’s even more worth it than usual. I told them your name and they even gave me a small mirror. I bought these things willingly!]
[Luo Lin, I like you. I want to wear the same clothes as you!]
[Baili Tang must be living well in that world. Luo Lin must be happy in this world too.]
[Thank you for introducing us to Baili Tang. You’ve always been the best, Luo Lin. You only bring us happiness and never bring us hards.h.i.+p.]
[We’ll love you for a little longer. Luo Lin, we love you, and you’re free. Do whatever you want. We’ll always support you.]
[We’re taking good care of ourselves and our family. We just want to support you now. Luo Lin, it’s because you’re worth it.]
[Today is also a crazy day for Baili Tang. Fortunately, we have you, Luo Lin. Every time we see your smile, we’ll be very content. We have to learn to be as outstanding and positive as you. We also have to pa.s.s on this happiness.] These words were filled with warmth.
It wasn’t that Luo Lin didn’t have fans in the past, but he didn’t have such a big fan base. Now, he knew that he was really surrounded by love.
Everything was different.
Love could last longer than hate, and it could also bring more encouraging power.
This matter made Zhang Zhewen realize that it might not be completely wise for him to gain praise by always hiring fans to scold others.
People would rebel.
After discussing with Xiao Yu, he decided to let this group of hired fans scold him directly.
They would scold him in the name of Luo Lin’s fans. In this way, it could be considered a reverse operation. They could learn from Luo Lin’s situation and increase the cohesion of Zhang Zhewen’s true fans.
Hence, there were suddenly more people scolding Murong Guang and Zhang
Zhewen on the internet.
These hired fans used the same words they used to scold Luo Lin.
They scolded Murong Guang for not knowing Baili Tang’s true intentions and not valuing brotherhood. They also criticized Zhang Zhewen for being ugly.
However, there were many words that did not match at all.
The hired fans could only keep changing directions. Coincidentally, Zhang Zhewen always wore lace-edged clothes in the past. He was scolded for being ugly.
They followed the trend and scolded Zhang Zhewen for dressing like an ugly mother.
If they kept posting Zhang Zhewen’s ugly photos and scolding him like this, he should be able to gain a lot of publicity. Perhaps netizens would rebel and fall into Zhang Zhewen’s trap, becoming his loyal fans, just like what happened with Luo Lin.
However, the human heart was the most difficult thing to predict and could not be played with.
Baili Tang and Luo Lin were bashed time and time again, but the undeniable truth was that Baili Tang and Luo Lin had done no wrong.
No matter how Luo Lin was scolded, he didn’t have any dirt on him. He would never abuse his fans. He only focused on his work.
Even though Luo Lin was called ugly and uncivilized, anyone with good eyesight could see the truth. How could a man with strict self-discipline, abdominal muscles, long legs, and good looks be ugly and uncivilized? Zhang Zhewen used this method so that he would be scolded too. But when netizens saw those comments, they would also hop onto the bandwagon:
[That’s right. Who’s this ugly man?]
[That’s right. Who’s this ugly man?]
[Why is this man so feminine?]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. What is he wearing? Lace-edged clothes? I don’t even remember female artistes wearing such clothes!]
The hired fans flew into a rage out of humiliation. [Are you looking down on women? Are you misogynists? If you hate a man, do you have to describe him as feminine?]
[What did Zhang Zhewen do wrong for you to treat him like this? Is being famous also a mistake?]
[He’s so pitiful. These people criticize him, refusing to face the fact that he’s popular.]
It had to be said that although this tactic did not yield the same results as Luo Lin’s case, many fans still fell for it.
The internet was filled with people posting the words, ‘My idol is so pitiful’. The number of mentions of Zhang Zhewen’s name had indeed increased several times compared to before.
With this data, Zhang Zhewen finally got an endors.e.m.e.nt deal for an earring brand.
The endors.e.m.e.nt of earrings sounded a little confusing.
However, if he could get it, not only would he be able to earn money, but he would also be able to answer to Han Tian.
The workings of hired fans still gave Zhang Zhewen a taste of sweetness.
This earring brand had no physical shop. They only had an online shop on Taobao.
On the day of the official announcement of Zhang Zhewen’s endors.e.m.e.nt of this earring brand, Zhang Zhewen personally did a live-stream for the brand. His fans were overjoyed.
Zhang Zhewen wanted to compare his sales this time to the sales of Luo Lin’s lipsticks last time. He wanted to suppress him in this aspect.
The composition of his fan base was complicated. They consisted of hired fans, his own fans, and those who felt sorry for Murong Guang in the drama. There were also many dual fans of both Luo Lin and Zhang Zhewen who had been brainwashed by hired fans..
