162: Fans are 'upholding justice and acting on behalf of heaven', Dilraba: Did you also hire someone to boost your popularity?

Still in the comment section of Xu Lu's livestream:

"Hahahaha, this is so satisfying. Striking back at these haters gives me a special kind of thrill. Awesome!"

"That Zhao Dasong probably just had a total meltdown. All of his articles were reported and taken down by us, leaving only one."

"Heh, this guy relied on his bit of influence to smear our Streamer's movie. Well, look at him now. Leaving this one post up is so his fans can see how we scolded him—killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!"

"We can consider this acting on behalf of heaven. That Zhao Dasong has smeared who knows how many people in the past, damn it."

"Yeah, but this time he really hit a brick wall. Let's add him to the blacklist so he can't make a living in this industry anymore."

"Brothers, spotted another one. Follow me, everyone. Same type of Film Critic, same routine..."

"Don't panic, we're coming right now. We're really going at it with these haters today. One comes, we charge one!"

"Exactly. If our Streamer's movie really wasn't good, that would be one thing. But since our Streamer made a good movie, we can't let these petty people ruin it."

"Exactly, there isn't much we fans can do, but dealing with online haters is no problem at all."

"Heh heh, these Film Critics just think they have influence, right? Let's make that influence disappear."

"The funniest part is that this hater named Zhao Dasong is actually a total sycophant, the kind with no bottom line..."

"Isn't that right? Other things are whatever, but this guy actually helped others buy condoms—that's just too ridiculous!"

"What else? Only someone with such a twisted mentality would be a hater online to earn dirty money. Disgusting!"

"Since so many Film Critics are smearing our Streamer, I think the 'happy summer trip' production crew must have paid them."

"Exactly! The 'happy summer trip' production crew was established by the company our Streamer left. Now that they see our Streamer's movie released, it's only normal for them to suppress him. It's the same old routine."

It must be said that the combat power of Xu Lu's fans is quite formidable.

The Film Critic named Zhao Dasong who was just targeted was only one of them.

Of course, he was also the first.

After him, whenever such haters popped up, the fans would swarm in and strike with full force.

The tactics were also very consistent.

First, they would start flaming under the advertorial or short video smearing 'summers melancholy'.

They would directly flame the Film Critic until they looked like an idiot.

Then they would start reporting the Film Critic's past articles or short videos, not stopping until all of them were taken down.

After this operation.

These Film Critics with tens or hundreds of thousands of followers basically had their accounts ruined.

For these haters, the account itself was their tool for making a living.

Now that the account they worked so hard to build was ruined, it was basically no different than killing them.

And this was exactly what the fans wanted.

If they dared to smear our Streamer, they had to be prepared to bear the consequences!

On the other side, Xu Lu had just successfully 'escaped' while pulling Reba along.

He didn't know yet that his fans were currently 'upholding justice and acting on behalf of heaven' online.

However, Reba, who had been in the industry for a relatively long time, reminded him at this moment:

"Xu Lu, regarding Xia Lifei, I think it's definitely not as simple as just releasing their movie at the same time as yours.

They want to suppress your box office, so they will definitely hire people to smear you. You'd better think of a way to deal with these things.

Why don't you also spend some money to hire people to smear them? At worst, it'll be a mutual destruction!"

Hearing Reba's suggestion, Xu Lu was a bit speechless and said:

"What kind of terrible idea is that!"

"A terrible idea is better than no idea, right?"

Reba, however, looked completely matter-of-fact and added:

"By the way, hurry up and check online to see if there are already many people smearing your movie. Definitely!"

Hearing this, Xu Lu became interested too.

He immediately took out his phone and started scrolling, also searching for the key term 'summers melancholy'.

Reba stood there waiting, and watched as this guy Xu Lu scrolled for a while, then a while longer, seemingly endless.

This made Reba a little worried, and she finally couldn't help but ask:

"Hey, Xu Lu, are you okay? Are there a lot of people smearing your movie?

I knew Xia Lifei would definitely pull some tricks, I just didn't expect them to be this fast.

Don't be too angry. 'summers melancholy' is a good movie after all; even if it gets smeared, it still..."

"Little Girl, turns out you're actually pretty good at comforting people!"

Just then, Xu Lu, who was scrolling on his phone, suddenly laughed and said.

Yet this guy had a smile on his face; where was there any sign of anger?

This situation left Reba a bit confused.

But just then, Xu Lu handed over his phone and said: "See for yourself!"

"See what?"

Reba took the phone, confused, and then she saw what Xu Lu had just seen:

"Too amazing. I went to watch this movie with a nervous heart, didn't expect it to be so good!"

"Good + 1. Just took my girlfriend to watch it, she was quite satisfied. We are currently at the hotel..."

"Uh, kid above, are you sure you aren't just showing off here? But really, 'summers melancholy' is quite good."

"I think it's the best comedy movie of the last few months, constant laughs throughout, awesome!"

" 'summers melancholy' is too funny, hahahaha, it's still so interesting thinking about it now."

"Yeah, there are simply too many famous scenes in it. summer fall, Qiu Ya, Dong Mei, Da Shachun—all four seasons are complete."

"Huh, listening to you say that, I just realized the names of the four characters in it had such a meaning."

"Sigh, I actually regret not going to watch 'summers melancholy'. The 'happy summer trip' I watched today was too trashy."

Seeing this, Reba was stunned, and it took her a while to say:

"What's going on? Xu Lu, why is the internet full of praise for your movie? There are no negative reviews at all..."

Saying this, Reba paused and suddenly said:

"Xu Lu, did you also hire people to write reviews? Not bad, didn't expect you to know how to do this!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who hired people to write reviews?

These are all real evaluations from netizens, the kind without any fake padding, okay?"

Xu Lu glared at Reba, annoyed.

However, he himself was also a bit puzzled, not knowing why there was no one online smearing 'summers melancholy'.

Because logically speaking, his movie should have been filled with negative reviews by now!

As puzzled as Xu Lu, there was actually a group of people from Xia Lifei Film and Television.

"Little Zhou, how exactly are you handling things? Why is there still no feedback now?"

Xiong Tang asked, feeling a bit displeased.

Zhou Yu was just about to explain, but unexpectedly, the other party waved his hand and said:

"Alright, put this matter aside for now. The first-day box office results are about to come out. Let's look at the data for our movie first!"
