Chapter 212 – Internet Sensation
Before the beginning of the Internet era, even though the means of communication had been developed, the transmission of information still had great limitations, and it could easily be controlled by the authority and wouldn’t be spread out.
When an earth-shattering event happen in a certain place, and a news blackout was carried out and television stations and newspapers didn’t report it, people in other places would often know nothing about it.
But the rise of the Internet has changed everything, even if media blackout still exists. In today’s era, a rooster laying eggs in a remote backwater village thousands of miles away would most likely to appear on blogs and forums on the same day and be known by people all over the world!
That was the power of the Internet.
Recently, the entertainment industry in China has been a little quiet. Since Wang Bin was arrested for drug-related matters, there has been basically nothing to talk about except the daily star quarrels and scandal hype.
However, on the evening of October 18, in front of the Xihu Staduim in Hangzhou, Lu Chen’s side spin kick directly kicked out a big news, which exploded instantly in the news media circle that had been silent for a long time.
And undoubtedly, Inspur blog, with hundreds of millions of users has the most intense reaction.
Only more than ten minutes after the assailant was subdued, the first live video was posted on the blog.
Then more and more photos and new videos popped up, with all kinds of exaggerated and thrilling titles. It was as if a ladle of cold water was poured on boiling oil, immediately creating crackling sound on the pan.
And among them, there were many entertainment media official V1that were adding fuel to the flames taking advantage of the trend of events.
There was no pre-arranged hype at all. This matter was extremely hotly hyped by countless people, and a large number of stars artist in the entertainment industry also commented on it and forwarded it.
Under normal circumstances, these artists wouldn’t be others’ free promoter, but the incident this time was extremely bad, and the assailant was targeting people in the circle. They all shared a common hatred, so they were willing to speak out.
While condemning the assailant, many artists were also questioning the security measures at the scene.
No one wanted the same thing to happen to them. Tian Tian was lucky. It happened that someone came to the rescue.
What if Lu Chen wasn’t present at that time, or was a little farther away?
The consequences could have been disastrous!
With these star artists with a large number of fans joining in, the keywords were quickly pushed to the home page.
“The beautiful host of Zhedong Satellite TV narrowly escaped disfigurement by sulfuric acid, is it personal resentment or emotional dispute?”
“The hero saved the beauty. Young singer Lu Chen takes off his coat to block the sulfuric acid, and fend off the assailant with a side spin kick!”
“Exclusive news, the inside story of Zhedong Satellite TV’s beauty host being splashed with sulfuric acid!”
“So cool, look at his kick’s style. Check out the video!”
“Who is Lu Chen?”
And the most excited and stirred up were undoubtedly Lu Chen’s fans.
They learned about what happened in Hangzhou through different channels, and they all worshiped Lu Chen.
Tens of thousands of fans used computers and cell phones to comment on blogs, forums, post bars and QQ groups.
“Brother Chen is mighty!”
“Not only is he handsome, the man can sing. Not only can he sing, he can compose songs. He’s able to compose songs and he can fight!”
“How can others live?”
“Starting today, I have turned from a passerby fan to a real fan of Lu Chen. No one can stop me!”
“I’ve watched this video 10 times, and the more I watch it, the more exciting it gets.”
“Haha, look at the performance of those other people on the scene. You can see how great our boss is!”
“Yes, Lu Chen is really a man amongst men!”
The most commented video on the blog was 2 minutes and 17 seconds long. This video should have been shot with a professional camera. Not only was the picture very clear and stable, but the camera angle was also excellent. It completely recorded the whole process of the incident.
Through this video, everyone saw how the assailant jumped over the security fence, rushed over, took out the sulfuric acid bottle and opened it, as well as the reaction of those around him.
Some were screaming, some were moving out of the way, some were retreating, and some were stupefied in place.
Lu Chen alone, and only Lu Chen, showed a high degree of calmness without fear or dread in the face of danger.
First, he threw out his suit with an almost unbelievable move, and stopped the sulfuric acid spilled by the assailant, then stepped forward and protected Tian Tian behind him, and side spin kicked the assailant who tried to continue to attack to the ground, completing a spectacular absolute killer move.
Although the video was more than 2 minutes long, the core content was only a few seconds long!
In this process, Lu Chen’s bravery and fearlessness, and his outstanding skills, really made people admire.
in domestic and foreign film and television circles, there was no shortage of action stars, but few action stars show such strong strength in reality, not to mention Lu Chen was still a singer.
In particular, his most critical action of throwing his clothes has attracted numerous comments from the netizens.
“How do you think Lu Chen did it? I tried it myself, but I couldn’t get it out at all!”
“Without a doubt, this is one of the ten most cool shots of the year!”
“This move is called cicada casting off its skin. Naturally, you don’t understand it. This is Gu Wu2. Do you know what Gu Wu is?”
“Fart Gu Wu, I think you have read too many online novels, but I do agree that was cool!”
“Don’t say that. I must practice this move. In the future, I can use this to be a hero to save a beauty.”
“Hehe, then you have to find someone who throws sulfuric acid first.”
“What a pity. That tens of thousands yuan Armani suit was enough for a year’s food.”
“Upstairs is an idiot. Everyone, ignore him!”
With the massive increase in comments, Lu Chen’s fans on Inspur blog showed an explosive growth.
There were also those who benefited from this, such as Senqi clothing.
The company, which focuses on young sports brands, took the opportunity to post the commercial that Lu Chen shot not long ago on their Official V, specifically explaining that Lu Chen didn’t use a stunt double during the shooting process, which also attracted a lot of attention.
When Lu Chen finished his performance and returned to the hotel he was staying in, Lu Xi’s cell phone has been ringing nonstop.
Relatives and friends called to inquire, and some media came to ask for an interview.
Lu Xi could handle most of the calls, but for some calls, Lu Chen has to respond by himself.
“Great hero, you are amazing!”
Sitting on the big soft bed in the hotel room, listening to the beautiful voice coming from the phone, Lu Chen felt a little itchy in his heart, as if something was going to come out of his ear.
He said with a wry smile, “Sister Fei…”
The call was from Chen Fei’er. She was in Beijing, but she has already heard of the news.
“Hehe…”
Chen Fei’er laughed softly and said, “I mean it. Everyone says you were very brave. If it wasn’t for you, then Tian Tian would really be ruined.”
Her voice grew a little heavy at the end of her sentence: “Crazy fans are the worst!”
As a Heavenly Queen who has been in the industry for more than ten years, Chen Fei’er has countless fans, and of course there were many different kinds.
But every star idol has been more or less harassed by fans, and there were things that go out of line.
But a situation like what happened tonight was very rare!
Lu Chen was tactful: “Was it determined that that person is a fan?”
Chen Fei’er said: “The assailant has confessed. He is a fan of Tian Tian. He has written a lot of letters to Tian Tian but he didn’t get any response. Some time ago, he was detained for breaking into the TV station because he wanted to court her, so he held a grudge.”
So that’s what happened! Lu Chen suddenly realized.
He didn’t doubt the source of Chen Fei’er’s information. The latter status and contacts in the circle were not comparable to him.
Chen Fei’er continued: “Tian Tian is really scared this time. She may want to step back behind the scenes.”
Lu Chen was stupefied: “You’ve talked to her?”
Chen Fei’er explained: “Yes. Tian Tian and I have known each other for a long time. I regard her as my little sister.”
The entertainment industry is very big, but it is also very small. Two people seemed like they were unrelated to each other, but they might actually be connected through this or that, link together in a complicated and extensive way.
Chen Fei’er said with a smile, “Tian Tian will probably come to thank you in person. She is so beautiful and an outstanding student, and she has never talked about a boyfriend. Since you save her, then you might have a chance to pursue her. Do you want me to help you?”
Although it was in a playful tone, it was somewhat serious.
Lu Chen involuntarily blurted out, “I already have someone I like!”
Chen Fei’er was surprised: “Who is it?”
Lu Chen felt a little regretful when he said it, but he didn’t answer and just stayed silent.
But this silence was the answer.
Some things didn’t need to be said.
After a while, Chen Fei’er should have understood something. The Heavenly Queen said flustered, “Oh, I have to hang up in advance. Let’s talk later!”
Without waiting for Lu Chen to answer, she hurriedly cut off the call.
Lu Chen held the cell phone with a busy tone and smiled bitterly.
The relationship between him and Chen Fei’er was a bit complicated. They met each other through a reality show and was brought together because of music.
Lu Chen knew that Chen Fei’er has a very favorable impression of him, which may be like a sister’s friendship to her brother, but it also has a different meaning, just like the title song “Not Yet Lovers” he wrote for MSN.
Lu Chen also knew that he also has a very favorable impression of Chen Fei’er.
He wouldn’t deceive himself.
Was it really possible between them? Lu Chen was a little at a loss.
He suddenly felt something strange and couldn’t help looking up. He saw Lu Xi standing at the door of his room looking at himself.
With a sneer on her face, as if to say – got you!
Lu Chen’s cold sweat came down: “Elder Sister…”
He stayed in a luxury business suite with two bedrooms, so he stayed with his elder sister.
Obviously, the conversation between him and Chen Fei’er just now was overheard by Lu Xi.
Lu Xi didn’t tease Lu Chen, and said, “There is something you must pay attention to. It is very important.”
Her expression was very serious.
Lu Chen couldn’t help getting serious, straightened up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“This is about one of your fans.”
