Superstar's Development Diary

The production team released previews over these three days that included Ji Jiawen, Nan Ming, and even Zhang You, but notably absent was He Jinxia.

This made everyone look forward to Zhang You's appearance, the popular young actor, while also wondering who the last mystery guest would be.

However, Zhang You stole the spotlight, with his line from the preview, "Because I am the future!" pumping up the audience, and everyone unanimously overlooked the mysterious star.

Over these few days, Zhang You's fans have been promoting his stories on various media platforms, with the busiest being the W blog platform where the most severe battles against the trolls took place.

Zhang You's name hadn't left the public eye for the past three days; it was indeed a very good publicity strategy.

On Friday night at eight o'clock, Pineapple TV broadcasted "Letter to Future Self" on schedule.

At the same moment, many "Youyou balls," with thoughts of Zhang You, turned on Pineapple TV and the synchronized live streaming websites, closely monitoring video comments, ready to strike back at any negative remark about Zhang You.

Luo Tian was among these numerous Youyou balls, giving the male god a bit of ratings by turning on the TV and then cradling her phone to watch.

Next, Ji Jiawen appeared, Nan Ming appeared, and then it was...

Luo Tian's eyes widened, "Holy shit, is that the eyesore He Jinxia?!"

As the only member of a girl group in Hua Country to gain fame with her plus-sized figure, He Jinxia was well-known; though, of course, the nation's impression of her wasn't very good.

Luo Tian instantly felt as if her male god was desecrated by the fat one, and no matter how interesting He Jinxia's introduction was, it couldn't stop the surging wave of anger in her heart!

She wasn't the only one who felt this way!

The next second, the video comments were suddenly flooded with:

[He Jinxia is such an eyesore!]

[He Jinxia is truly disgusting, why is she introducing Zhang You?]

[We don't want He Jinxia!]

[We don't want He Jinxia +1]

[We don't want He Jinxia +2]

[We don't want He Jinxia +100000]

...

Luo Tian clicked on the comments, also ready to vent her anger when suddenly, the handsome face of Zhang You appeared on screen.

As a dedicated Youyou ball, she fought back the urge to criticize He Jinxia and quickly typed and sent the message, [My Youyou is so handsome!]

Following that, a horde of Youyou balls dominated the comments, filling the screen with [Youyou is so handsome], [Youyou is the best], [Youyou, with the most talent and idol presence, is here] and more, successfully clearing the screen of previous mocking comments aimed at He Jinxia.

The host interviewed Zhang You, and occasionally a few comments popped up on the screen like [He Jinxia is so ugly]. The Youyou fans chose to ignore them, simply heaping praise on Zhang You nonstop.

Meanwhile, as He Jinxia, the mysterious guest on the show, made her appearance, He Jinxia's fans also started to get active, especially the trolls who were particularly gleeful.

They specifically created a topic on the W blog discussion square, #He Jinxia "Letter to Future Self"#, uploaded a few screenshots from the video, and began to ridicule her extensively.

[My Fat Emperor is causing trouble again, for which I'd like to apologize to the production team.]

[Betting He Jinxia will once again make empty promises about losing weight on this show!]

[Betting +1]

[Betting +2]

[Betting + Critical hit!]

...

A few earnest fans left comments: "They were once idols we adored, if we stop fanning them just leave the circle, why turn around and stab them in the back?"

As soon as this was said, a bunch of anti-fans began to mock—

"The more passionately we loved them at the start, the more fiercely we hate them now, once we meet again, they are the enemy."

"What's wrong with me scolding my own daughter?"

"What's wrong with me scolding my own wife?"

...

He Jinxia had so many anti-fans that her true fans were powerless against them and were slaughtered one by one.

At this moment, at Tonghua Entertainment Company, on the third floor.

The third floor was the office area for the public relations members, responsible for managing the news about artists under Tonghua Entertainment.

The public relations department was divided into three large teams: one team was dedicated to handling top-tier stars, the second team was responsible for second and third-tier stars, and the third team managed the rest of the stars below the third tier.

The team leader that Luo You sought out belonged to the second team.

Outside, the night was deep, but inside, the lights were bright. Luo You gazed at the screen where data was climbing steadily, and swallowed hard, nerves beginning to fray.

Sitting next to him was an honest and simple-looking middle-aged man wearing an ordinary T-shirt indistinguishable from the average person, except for his hands, which were unique, moving rapidly across the keyboard.

Soon, many specific values popped up, changing from abstract data lines into rows of numbers; the data was changing, and the figures were also leaping non-stop.

The middle-aged man then said, "Old Luo, He Jinxia's search rate isn't high, but her topic discussion rate is very active, she's broken this month's record."

A bitter smile appeared on Luo You's face, "Old Zhang, you know He Jinxia as well as I do. She left the group this month, changed her agent, and is transitioning, barely making any public appearances, how could there possibly be a discussion rate?"

Old Zhang chuckled, "Alright, kid, stop complaining. You didn't ask for my help just to watch He Jinxia's Weibo discussion rate that simple, did you?"

Luo You took a deep breath and laid out his plan.

After listening, Old Zhang's expression turned serious, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "This is very risky."

Luo You's heart was pounding incredibly fast, and he spoke with a rough voice, "So can we pull this off?"

Old Zhang looked at him, "How confident are you that He Jinxia can succeed in losing weight?"

Luo You shook his head, "I have no confidence."

Old Zhang said, "Then there's a very good chance it could ruin the girl."

Luo You said with self-mockery, "If she doesn't succeed, she's going to leave the circle anyway, and once she does, no one will bother to dig into her past."

Old Zhang's expression changed constantly, and Luo You added, "Old Zhang, this might well be the last time I ask you for a favor."

Old Zhang, whose name was Zhang Dayou, started as a professional anti-fan. Later, Luo You discovered his sensitivity to data and persuaded him to apply for a public relations position at Tonghua.

Zhang Dayou didn't have much education, was aging, and initially, he turned to the internet to troll and vent his emotions. He stumbled into the profession of a professional anti-fan by chance, with his computer skills being self-taught.

Such an insignificant person had, in just four years at Tonghua Entertainment's public relations team, become the leader of a large team, leading dozens of people. His capability was evident as his salary exceeded that of average second-tier stars—he had truly transformed his life.

Luo You was deeply indebted to Zhang Dayou for his opportunity and success.

Seeing Luo You like this, Zhang Dayou didn't hesitate any longer and decisively said, "Well, let's do a big one then!"

He picked up his phone and started to @ his team members in a group chat, asking them to hurry back to the office for overtime within half an hour.

Fortunately, the show "Letter to Future Self" had more than an hour of content, with commercial breaks totaling twenty to thirty minutes interspersed, so by the time all the public relations team members arrived at the office, the show was just about to start the game segment.
