Top Dupe CH 027 Who’s More Affectionate Than Whom? Part 1

“It’s Li Qian! Li Qian! Li Qian!” The agent yelled the important answer three times.

“I don’t owe Li Qian any money…”

The agent slapped a hand to his forehead hard, “Before, our Dijun Media and Li Qian’s Xinghan Pictures battled in the same TV drama genre. The other company’s TV ratings were far ahead of ours, which put a lot of pressure on us. In order to win, Chairman Ou poured dirty water on the leading actor of Xinghan Pictures! Although Li Qian tried to find a way to help the leading actor to clarify, that black material is still mentioned even now, whether he is filming dramas or appearing in variety shows, and he also lost the Yun Wen Award for best actor that year! And that actor is Li Qian’s cousin! Don’t you think Li Qian would find a way to get revenge?”

“Even if Li Qian wants revenge… it’s useless to look for me…” He Mu became worried.

“You are single-handedly supported by Chairman Ou, the face of Dijun Media! Is there anything else that would give him a greater sense of accomplishment than causing trouble for you?”

Hearing what the agent said, He Mu’s heart stuttered. Having seen Chairman Ou’s ability to turn a deer into a horse, as an opponent of Chairman Ou, Life Qian’s level must also be quite high.

“Hand over your sub account now, and I’ll have someone to cancel it!”

This sub account for venting emotions instantly became a hot potato, and He Mu threw the phone to the other man.

At this moment, the assistant rushed in, “It is uncovered! It is uncovered!”

“What are you shouting for! What is uncovered?” the agent asked.

The assistant glanced at He Mu and said in a stutter: “He Mu… He Mu’s sub account is uncovered…”

The agent suddenly felt a splitting headache, and his head almost exploded on the spot.

A marketing account took screenshots of all the comments posted by He Mu’s sub account. They not only took screenshots but also recorded the screen, proving that these comments all belong to the same person.

There were many photos of He Mu showing off his luxurious life in his sub account, and netizens who were as observant as Sherlock Holmes found clues in them.

For example, two years ago, this sub account was originally going to show off a limited edition necklace. In order to set off the elegance of the necklace, he specially matched the necklace with a custom made suit. Keen netizens found out that the suit was exactly what He Mu wore to attend the red carpet event the night before. It was sponsored by the brand and was specially custom made and not mass-produced.

If this photo could manage to be explained as “the suit is just a replica ordered by fans online,” then the next photo that was uncovered was really fatal.

The photo showed a limited-edition bag worth six figures, and there was a trophy in the corner of the photo. Enthusiastic netizens enlarged the photo and found that it was the trophy for the New Media Super Rising Star Award that year! And the owner of that trophy was He Mu!

No matter how crazy fans were, they wouldn’t order an imitation trophy and put it in the corner to enter the camera, right?

At the beginning, He Mu’s fans said that He Mu opening a sub account to criticize Luo Yu everywhere didn’t have any real proof. But in less than five minutes, proof was uncovered.

The agent urgently closed this sub account, but #HeMuSubAccount# had become a hot search topic, and its position was getting higher and higher.

The agent had just removed the trending search, and #HeMuSmackTalkLuoYu# went on the trending search as well. He Mu’s previous harsh and mean remarks were stripped off their sock puppet and exposed to the public one by one.

The agent was so panicked that he was sweating profusely as he took down this hot search as well.

But soon #HeMu’sProfoundHate# appeared on the hot search.

The agent was going crazy. This was definitely Li Qian’s handiwork. It could be said that he was using He Mu’s method to deal with He Mu.

After reading the hot search content, netizens all said that He Mu had opened their horizons, they did not expect that top stars could be so dark deep in their hearts.

Luo Yu was incomparable to He Mu in terms of traffic and remuneration. So why was it that He Mu wanted to destroy Luo Yu so badly?

Soon, “informed people” came out and revealed the photos of He Mu before he debuted. Some enthusiastic netizens working in the field of medical beauty also came out to analyze, saying that Luo Yu’s brow bone and jawline were very natural and in line with the bone structure of normal people.

But the connection between He Mu’s brow bone and nose was very abrupt, the bridge of his nose rose straight up, and there were traces of opening the corners of his eyes, etc. According to analysis, He Mu used Luo Yu as a template for going under the knife, but He Mu claimed every day that Luo Yu was copying him, which was simply ridiculous!

Someone also took out the poster for “Plum Rain” from that year and pointed to the release date of the TV drama to explain that the character of Luo Yu’s school idol appeared earlier than He Mu. But why was it that he was accused of copying He Mu’s image?

As the agent was thinking about how to buy marketing accounts to suppress this matter, Gao He had already called He Mu angrily to ask why He Mu did such an idiotic thing! Demanding why didn’t the agent watch out for He Mu’s idiocy? And what idiocy would He Mu seek next?

Faced with Gao He’s three accusations regarding idiocy, the agent didn’t know how to answer. He could only say that He Mu’s cell phone had been confiscated and he was preparing to issue a press release.

At this time, Gao He received a call from Ou Juntao, and the other person’s cold voice made Gao He shudder.

“Suspend all of He Mu’s public appearances, including entertainment programs and all commercial performances, stop all publicity, and let the heat cool down first.”

“But Chairman Ou, we will lose a lot of jobs this way.”

“If the heat doesn’t cool down, the loss will be even greater. The matter of the sub account will be attributed to his assistant. Use He Mu’s main account and studio account to apologize to Luo Yu, just say that to help He Mu win the role of Bai Ying, the assistant once worked overtime and stayed up late to accompany He Mu in practicing acting. The entire team felt disappointed that He Mu did not get the role. Seeing Luo Yu’s superb acting skills caused the assistant’s mentality to be unbalanced, so he discredited Luo Yu on the Internet. The photos showing off wealth were originally taken in He Mu’s room due to the assistant’s own vanity. He Mu respects Luo Yu’s dedication to the role and thinks that the other is a colleague with superb acting skills.”

The agent was dumbfounded when he heard this, “He Mu respects Luo Yu and thinks he has superb acting skills?”

“Yes. If he feels that his face is slapped too painfully and continues to cause trouble, terminate the contract with him. Dijun Media will not be responsible for any of his actions.”

After Chairman Ou finished speaking, he hung up the call.

The agent felt that this was more than just a slap to the face. If He Mu posted on Weibo and said he approved of Luo Yu’s acting skills, then the public attack campaign on Luo Yu over the past few years would be self-defeated, and many people would ridicule He Mu.

Sure enough, after He Mu heard the content of the announcement, he couldn’t even sleep, and decided to go find Ou Juntao.

“I won’t post it! I won’t post such an announcement! If I admit that Luo Yu’s acting skills are superb, my antis will ask, regarding Luo Yu being unable to compete with me for roles before, was it my own strength or the secret manipulation of Dijun Media that I relied on! How will I show my face in public in the future?”

“My little ancestor! Chairman Ou has already spoken. If you don’t, your contract will be terminated! You can troll Luo Yu online as much as you like, after all it has nothing to do with Dijun Media anyway!”

When the agent finished speaking, He Mu was dumbfounded.

“Chairman Ou… Chairman Ou wants to terminate my contract? He was the one who discovered me! It was he who set up the national school idol image for me! It was he who deliberately stole Luo Yu’s roles in the first place! It was he who said Luo Yu was just my dupe! He said that I have higher commercial value than Luo Yu! Now he wants me to admit that Luo Yu’s acting skills are better?”

The grievances that had been suppressed in He Mu’s heart surged up. For so many years, on the surface he looked to be surrounded by praises and flowers, but whenever he saw Luo Yu, he felt like a bone was stuck in his throat.

When he was in film school, he envied Luo Yu’s popularity and dreamed of becoming like Luo Yu. But finally when he actually had a face similar to Luo Yu’s, using Luo Yu’s original image and enjoying the traffic and popularity given up by Luo Yu, He Mu was still unhappy.

In truth he was Luo Yu’s dupe, because everything Ou Juntao gave him from beginning to end was prepared for Luo Yu!

The agent looked at He Mu’s tearstained face and sighed deeply.

“This is a truce signal from Chairman Ou to Li Qian. If your apology announcement does not have a low enough attitude, would you believe that Li Qian could continue to uncover even more? For example, you being expelled from the film school! For example, it was not Luo Yu who snatched your roles before, but you snatching Luo Yu’s roles! Also, you and Jiang Yunxie from Honghe Film and Television… You know that Jiang Yunxie is interested in you, but you kept leading him on. Can you guarantee that when you had dinner with Jiang Yunxie, no intimate behavior was photographed?”

He Mu froze. Li Qian could dig out his sub account, so God knows what other big news he could uncover.

“Don’t worry, when this announcement is made, we will notify your head fans and say that you admitting Luo Yu’s acting skills in your apology announcement is taking the blame for the staff in your management team as well as compensation for Luo Yu. It does not truly mean that Luo Yu’s acting skills are better than yours. Chairman Ou also said that you should stay out of the public eye for a period of time. After two or three weeks, new hot searches will be posted, how can any of this be considered a big deal?” The agent reassured him.

He Mu lowered his head. He knew that he had no room to resist Chairman Ou’s decision. His sub account was uncovered, his comments mean and vicious. He violated Chairman Ou’s previous warning to him not to cause trouble. He was already lucky to not be shelved.

On this side, Luo Yu was completely unaffected.

Because of the excessive physical exertion of that night scene, Luo Yu was asleep the whole time and he hadn’t seen a word of the disputes and reversals on the Internet.

Even if the sky fell down and the earth burned, it would not prevent him from sleeping deeply.

The orange glimmer outside the window fell on the quilt, and Luo Yu who was sleeping sideways, with his hair scattered on the pillow and one hand gently hooking the quilt, looked quiet and harmless.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But Gu Xiaowei knew how resilient this person was. He seemed cheerful and easy to get along with, but in fact he was very proud and refused to admit defeat.

Gu Xiaowei, who was sitting next to him, had the rare opportunity to play on his mobile phone all afternoon. Rather than say this turmoil was a PK between He Mu and Luo Yu, it was more a battle between Xinghan Pictures and Dijun Media. And in the end it resulted in Dijun Media’s concession.

But the real beneficiary was Luo Yu.
