61: Chapter 61 Leaving Tianlai, is Li Qingwan really beyond saving?

For a time...

Netizens were discussing it incessantly.

After all, the contrast was simply too extreme.

Everyone's impression of Li Qingwan was still stuck on her status as a favored daughter of heaven and a Diva of the music industry.

How could she end up on such a minor music variety show after leaving The Sound of Nature? Not only that, she couldn't even get a seat at the judges' table.

Furthermore, word was that she had even been angrily rebuked by a newcomer on the show.

And after seeing the program, the audience felt their blood pressure soaring.

"My god, this is so infuriating."

"What right do these two judges have to be so sarcastic toward our Li Qingwan?"

"Exactly, where did these two judges even come from? I've never even heard of them."

"And this contestant is even more something else, actually daring to directly snap at Li Qingwan. Does she really not recognize her own status?"

"Good heavens, has Li Qingwan, who left The Sound of Nature, really fallen to this level now?"

"Damn, if this were before, this newcomer who dared to snap at Li Qingwan would have disappeared from the entertainment industry by the next day."

Countless netizens felt incredibly indignant.

Of course, many netizens also felt that Li Qingwan was suffering the consequences of her own actions.

"Sigh, although it's frustrating to watch, this is also Li Qingwan's own doing."

"Yeah, who told her to leave The Sound of Nature?"

"In The Sound of Nature, she was a Diva and everyone had to show her respect, but after leaving, no one gives her the time of day."

"Indeed, I still can't figure out why Li Qingwan wanted to leave The Sound of Nature."

For a moment, netizens even began to feel that Li Qingwan shouldn't have left The Sound of Nature.

After all, the netizens didn't know that The Sound of Nature had sold Li Qingwan's personal information to a young master in Kyoto.

They only felt that Li Qingwan had been muddled-headed.

Others felt that this was all Jiang Feng's fault.

If Jiang Feng hadn't seduced Li Qingwan, she wouldn't have left The Sound of Nature.

It could be said that opinions were divided.

For a time, major media outlets also reported on this matter one after another.

In any case, none of them were good reports.

The general gist was that Li Qingwan had fallen on hard times.

However, this actually caused "The Next Generation of Music," this minor music variety show, to become an overnight hit.

It allowed this low-budget music show to actually squeeze into the top three of the Penguin Variety Charts.

Clearly, everyone wanted to get the gossip.

They wanted to see how Li Qingwan, this former Diva, had fallen into such a wretched state.

...

Meanwhile.

Li Qingwan's former employer, Tianlai Capital, also specifically posted a message on the Weibo.

"When I support you, you are a crystal glass."

"But when I don't support you, you are just shards of glass."

This post didn't name anyone specifically.

But anyone could see through it.

This post was precisely mocking Li Qingwan.

...

"President Zhang, Li Qingwan can be said to have brought this on herself."

"She really thought that by relying on a single song, 'bubble', she could make a comeback."

"This variety show has completely stripped away her fig leaf."

"Now that she's left The Sound of Nature, she is nothing."

Inside the offices of Tianlai Capital.

Li Qingwan's former music director, Music Director Shen Yuxi, said to the CEO of Tianlai, President Zhang.

Earlier, when Li Qingwan had become slightly popular again by relying on the song 'bubble'.

The person who felt the most uncomfortable was this Music Director Shen Yuxi.

She was absolutely the person who least wanted Li Qingwan to stand up again.

Now, seeing Li Qingwan in such a wretched state, she could no longer hide her true colors.

"Exactly, Li Qingwan still thought too highly of herself."

"Now all her assets have been frozen by the court, and all mainstream resources in the entertainment industry have been blocked by us."

"She can only go on these minor variety shows."

"It's simply impossible for her to make a comeback."

Hearing this, President Zhang also burst into laughter.

No one who opposed him ever came to a good end.

Li Qingwan was no exception.

He had already planned it out; he would just wait until Li Qingwan's reputation completely collapsed.

Then he would 'kindly' sign Li Qingwan back to the company.

By then, Li Qingwan would have lost her pride.

Wouldn't she be entirely under his control?

At that time, he could even give her to Young Master Wang as a pass to enter the Kyoto circles.

In the current entertainment industry, most of the resources were held by those in the Kyoto circles.

If one wanted to continue moving up, they had to join that circle.

Therefore, President Zhang dreamed of joining that circle.

...

"Qingwan, those people are being too much of a bully."

"Why did you go on such a show?"

"This is clearly profiting from your misfortune."

"They are consuming your traffic."

"All of these people are targeting you."

"No, I have to post on social media to give them a piece of my mind."

After seeing the trending topics on social media, the film industry's Movie Queen, Wang Yueer...

...proactively called Li Qingwan.

And her tone was extremely indignant.

As Li Qingwan's best friend, how could she endure seeing Li Qingwan being bullied like this?

"There's no need, Yueer. They were just a bit harsh with their words."

"I haven't really been bullied."

"This is the path I chose myself. Even if I have to crawl, I will finish it."

Li Qingwan said through gritted teeth.

Going to this variety show was her own choice.

She naturally knew that there might be a group of newcomers wanting to step on her to rise up.

But she had no choice.

She needed exposure right now.

She needed to be noticed; she needed popularity.

She didn't want to gradually fade away in the entertainment industry.

Only by having popularity would she be safe.

If she had no popularity, then she would be meat on someone else's chopping block.

Therefore, she didn't regret it.

"Qingwan, how about this? Join our company."

"Although our company can't compare to The Sound of Nature, it is still a very large capital power in the industry."

"If you join our company, you definitely won't be bullied like this again."

Wang Yueer suddenly suggested.

"No need, Yueer. I don't want to join a company right now."

"I want to prove that I can succeed without relying on capital."

"One day, I will prove to the world that I myself am the capital!"

Li Qingwan said.

She naturally didn't want to just leave the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's mouth.

During her years in the entertainment industry, she had long since seen through it.

Capitalists are man-eaters.

They swallow you whole.

As long as one relies on capital, then sooner or later, they will be devoured by it.

"Alright then, I wish you success."

Wang Yueer said helplessly.

She naturally felt that what Li Qingwan was saying was just a delusion.

In the entire entertainment industry, she had never seen...

...a star who could stand at the top of the industry without relying on capital.

The entire entertainment industry was inherently a game of capital competition.

"Mm-hmm, get some sleep early."

Li Qingwan naturally knew that Wang Yueer didn't believe her.

But she didn't need to explain to anyone.

It was enough that she understood it in her own heart.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the recording of "The Next Generation of Music" again.

"Jiang Feng, how about you don't follow me this time?"

"Currently, there are already many negative voices about you online."

"If I go and get scolded again, it will also implicate you."

On the eve of the program recording.

Li Qingwan said to Jiang Feng.
