That evening, the promotional clip for "Singer’s Life" was about to be released.
A lot of people, having eaten dinner and with nothing better to do, started waiting for it.
Like Nie Ping, they had long ford the impression that Lu Xiaobu was unbeatable.
So, they were waiting with the mindset of watching a top-tier blockbuster.
After all, Lu Xiaobu either stays silent or causes a sensation!
And it hasn’t even started yet.
Lu Xiaobu’s fans were already at it with the trolls.
This has almost beco a tradition!
Those pure haters seem to feel uncomfortable without taking a jab at Lu Xiaobu!
"It must be trash!"
"Exactly, Singer’s Life?! What is a song? It’s supposed to be listened to, not turned into reality TV?!"
"What does it an, an MV collection?!"
"..."
Of course, as always, for every comnt the trolls made, Lu Xiaobu’s fans shot back with ten more!
After all, you know how Lu Xiaobu’s fans can be.
They’re even more like trolls than the actual trolls!
"Young Master Bu is aweso!"
"I’m telling you, even if this isn’t the peak of reality shows, it’s definitely a pioneering one!"
"Indeed! Haters, get lost! You’re just begging for insults!"
"Don’t believe it? Wait and see the results! It’ll blow you away!"
"It’s starting soon, it’s starting soon!"
"Don’t use your mundane thinking to judge Young Master Bu!"
"Exactly, do you really have nothing better to say? Singing can’t be part of reality TV?! By your logic, all those music variety shows shouldn’t be watched either!"
"..."
Both sides went back and forth, trolls repeatedly losing, with little to show for their efforts besides comndable persistence!
Finally!
After much anticipation, the long-awaited promotional clip finally ca out.
And then, everyone was stunned!
It wasn’t because it was too good; rather, it was just awfully terrible!
The minute-and-a-half trailer could actually be sumd up in a few words.
Farmland, island, cooking, singing, oh, and Zhou Lei snatching a baby’s milk at most!
The haters were instantly overjoyed.
Hahaha, finally a chance!
They had been pressed by Lu Xiaobu’s fans all along, now they found an opportunity, they definitely had to get in!
When faced with difficulty, confront it, and when there isn’t any, create so, but still confront it!
However!
When they painstakingly prepared their materials, readied their tea and cigarettes, picked up their keyboards and were about to start!
They were dumbfounded!
Because, at this mont, they found themselves having nothing to contribute!
"Damn! Are we the trolls, or are you guys the trolls?!" Various trolls voiced in near-unison!
They had just prepared to start taking shots, but online it was already a flood of insults!
Most frustratingly, the trash-talking trolls turned out to be Lu Xiaobu’s fans who had previously fought off these trolls with zeal!
Damn! Aren’t you Lu Xiaobu’s fans?!
Aren’t you die-hard fans?!
How co you’re bashing him more fiercely than we are?!
There are things we wouldn’t even say, yet you’re utterly unrestrained!
"Damn! What the hell is this?!"
"Young Master Bu, are you serious?! What is this?! Are you playing us?!"
"Don’t be so embarrassing! Do you think your current status is appropriate?!"
"Trying to cash in?! Co on! You’re worth two trillion, and you produce such a crappy film, are you being fair to us?!"
"Damn it! Fan turned hater! Lu Xiaobu, you’ve let us down!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobu’s fans, especially those so-called die-hard ones, were vicious with their insults!
So bad that many of the trolls couldn’t take it: "Hey, buddy! Aren’t you Lu Xiaobu’s fan?! Stop bashing!"
"Screw it! I curse however I want! None of your business!?"
Yep, still the familiar persona!
The trolls were collapsing: "Co on, you guys are blasting us, but give us so space! You’re going full-scale, all angles, 360-degree attacks, our position as trolls is seriously threatened!"
The trolls were truly collapsing, grabbing their hair in handfuls!
They’d road the internet for years, never encountering such hardcore fans!
Fans usually go berserk if their idols lose a strand of hair, but with Lu Xiaobu...
A clean-cut backstab?!
Co on, you guys are our undercover agents or what!
This situation, admittedly, is hard to understand yet also easy to grasp.
All these stem from differences in status.
What was Lu Xiaobu’s status before?
Although he fiddled around, he was very down-to-earth, and everyone felt Lu Xiaobu was nearby, leading to a sense of closeness!
In turn, this led to strong defense of him.
But recently, over a long period, Lu Xiaobu’s status rose higher, becoming increasingly distanced from them.
After all, recently Lu Xiaobu hasn’t been doing anything particularly relatable.
Education, Japan ventures, Technology, playing with 4G, becoming a multinational corporation.
Not to ntion lesser-known affairs of Jianghu and base activities.
His status suddenly beca extraordinarily high, so high it felt a bit strange.
This unfamiliarity can lead fans to return to rationality, no longer blindly believing.
Many affectionately bonded couples can drift apart due to unfamiliarity from long-distance relationships.
No need to ntion celebrities and fans.
Especially since Lu Xiaobu isn’t the traditional kind of star who releases material regularly.
So, all in all, this situation ca to be.
Simply put—dim-witted fans returning to rational fans!
However, while their rationality returned, their persona didn’t, which led to the current scenario where trolls lost their jobs.
So trolls, unable to stand it, directly switched sides!
"Damn! You’re stealing our jobs?!"
Fine, we won’t be courteous either!
We’ll steal your jobs!
Now this was getting fun!
Fans were divided into dim-witted fans, skeptical fans, rational fans, and black fans!
Trolls were divided into brainless trolls, oscillating trolls, angry trolls, and those who can’t tell black from white!
The whole network was a chaotic ss, fully confused, unable to distinguish friend from foe!
"Upstairs, are you an idiot? Just watch the promo clip and see Lu Xiaobu clearly lacks effort, yet you still support him?!"
"You silly! I’m on your side!"
"On my side, my foot, I rember your ID, you were the one arguing with in the morning!"
"Then look at my afternoon post record!"
"Damn! Sorry, sorry, my head’s spinning, can’t really tell apart!"
"No worries, no worries, I also mistakenly argued with an ally just now, almost got doxed!"
"Bitter smile·jpg!"
"..."
This kind of scenario happens way too often on the internet, it keeps occurring nonstop.
It’s in complete chaos, total chaos!
