His fans tried their best to defend him. They felt that Luo Lin was deliberately slandering him, but it was useless. Everyone was not blind. Of course, they knew what was wrong.
Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian were completely dumbfounded. They did not expect that what they posted would become a fuse to take down Zhang
Zhewen.
However, this was actually not their fault. When they went to understand more about Zhang Zhewen at the beginning, he and his manager swore that Zhang Zhewen was purely focused on work. He did not fall in love or get involved with messy things.
Of course, Zheng Mengvvei and Han Tian were still in the wrong. Their mistake was that they believed him so easily and didn’t investigate his character seriously.
Overnight, Murong Guang’s background was ruined.
Zhang Zhewen was hated by everyone.
Most of his commercial endors.e.m.e.nts were short-term, so the brands just decided to go through with it.
The projects with good scripts did not dare to look for him anymore.
Zhang Zhewen could no longer suppress the things he had tried his best to suppress previously.
For example, there was the previous incident of his fans wanting to raise money for the electronic magazines, but most of the fans who contributed their money only received one verification code. They wanted to know where their money went. Did it go to the leading fans, the fan club, or Zhang Zhewen?
This matter finally broke out.
Once it was exposed, they couldn’t suppress it anymore. Many fans realized that not only was there something fishy about that incident, but there was also something fishy about the many other times when they bought things. Everyone had gathered so much money, but they didn’t get anything. Where was the money?
The fans Zhang Zhewen had spent money to hire dispersed when they saw that something was wrong. They canceled their accounts and ran away, not caring about anything else.
Everyone naturally had to blame this matter on Zhang Zhewen. They were clamoring for him to compensate them.
Zhang Zhewen naturally couldn’t compensate his fans.
However, before the matter here could be resolved, something happened again.
He had previously endorsed a product that had always been sold for 300 yuan. When he was endorsing the product, it was sold for 500 yuan. After his short-term stint ended, the product was sold for 300 yuan again.
At that time, many fans felt that something was wrong and went to the brand to make a fuss about the 200 yuan premium.
However, the fans that held some authority stopped them. They said something along the lines of ‘Don’t affect Zhewen’s business. Everyone, bear with it. It’s just 200 yuan, right? It’s not like we’re short of 200 yuan, right?
Think about it. Is our love for Zhewen something that can be measured with 200 yuan?’
At that time, many fans didn’t think there was anything wrong. After being persuaded, they calmed down and didn’t continue to cause trouble.
Some people thought that 200 yuan was not a big sum, so they let it go.
However, after the news about the electronic magazine was exposed, everyone realized that there was something fishy going on.
Why did the price of the product increase by 200 yuan as soon as Zhang Zhewen became the brand amba.s.sador?
200 yuan was not a lot. It was not that no one could afford it, but did they really think that the fans’ money was easy to earn?
What did they take the fans for?
Seeing such a scene, the earring shop that had previously looked for Zhang Zhewen to endorse their brand finally found an opportunity. They stepped forward and added insult to injury. They said sarcastically: [Your losses are considered small. Have you ever seen a shop drop from five stars to three stars? Have you ever seen a celebrity team so irresponsible? Have you ever seen an artiste who’s so arrogant that they think they’re already a top celebrity?
We’ve experienced all of this! Hehehe, that person doesn’t have the fate of being a top celebrity but acts like he already is one.]
Although they did not say Zhang Zhewen’s name, one could guess who they were talking about.
Moreover, many people had indeed seen that ever since the earring shop invited Zhang Zhewen to be their amba.s.sador, their star rating had dropped. Back then, everyone was just speculating. Now that they had confirmed it, they couldn’t help but curse Zhang Zhewen for being a jinx.
In an instant, several other brands that had looked for Zhang Zhewen to become their endorser also appeared.
It was no wonder that they did not dare to say anything before. They did not want to offend anyone and be accused of slander.
They had long held a grudge against Zhang Zhewen. Everyone would kick a man when they were down. They were just taking advantage of the situation to step on him.
At this moment, the outside world realized that Zhang Zhewen’s team was ruthless. Not only were they disrespectful to their partners, but they also didn’t cooperate well. They treated fans like trash and didn’t treat them as humans at all.
Overnight, Zhang Zhewen lost all his popularity. There were endless people who came out to criticize him.
His remaining fans were still brainlessly protecting him, but many rational fans had already left.
It was only now that those fans realized that they had always been just tools in his hands. They were tools to ruin Luo Lin and also tools for him to gain more brainless fans.
He had been reaping the benefits from Murong Guang’s role for so long, but he still refused to stop.
Only when so many things were exposed did they know what kind of person he was.
Even if there were still brainless people who stayed, it was because they had all been brainwashed.
It was a burden to keep such fans.
Zhang Zhewen wanted to step out to stabilize his fans, but his face had already been scratched badly by the rich woman. He could not appear in public at all.
He could only go to the hospital to recuperate.
He could also use this opportunity to fix his face.
He was at his peak when he acted as Murong Guang. Because Murong Guang was supposed to be sick and weak, the camera’s filter made him look fair, thin, and weak. His facial features were also relatively smooth.
However, after the show, his shortcomings were revealed.
Zhang Zhewen had been filming for ten years, watching helplessly as his colleagues became famous one after another. Now, his face was badly bruised.
He wanted to take this opportunity to show off his good looks.
Before the doctor came, a dejected Xiao Yu came.
“What’s going on?” Zhang Zhewen asked.
“Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian have terminated their contract with you. Not only did they terminate the contract, but they also want us to compensate them for their termination fees.’
Zhang Zhewen was shocked. Zheng Mengwei was very capable. Only by relying on her could he have a chance to rise again.
Now that his contract was terminated, he could only be on good terms with Producer Niu, Director Gao, and the others.
However, for some reason, Director Gao had been on the down low till now. It was as if he had been banned from the industry.
As for Producer Niu, there was no special development at the moment.
“Why? I want to see them.”
“They don’t want to see you at all.” Xiao Yu shook his head and said, “Even I couldn’t meet them. A lawyer came over and said that we’ve caused a huge negative impact. They don’t want to continue working with us. Also, because our adverse effects have caused them all kinds of losses, they asked us to compensate them for their fees..”
