Exactly, there is always more than what the eyes see. HY didn't do anything necessary but intentionally and fuel saying xu kai was revising lines. They killed two birds with one stone if you look closely. Because bad publicity is still publicity for the actress YZ want to rise (Zhao Qing). Look at IamRoosie story, you saw her account got taken down so fast. There also fact xu kai don’t have a backer or powerful connection like some artist the girl mentioned. On contrary, this person even managed to open a VIP with almost 1 million abo thanks to all her attacks against xu kai. Shes still making to Top 1 on wb for every run her mouth until now. Xu Kai is so unfortunate. This huge manipulation is beyond words.

I read the whole article, it's truly disgusting. It matches everything that happened to Xu Kai last year and even years before. It's too scary. Also remember Listen to the Wind and YiouChun were def impose. Management agencies are like criminal organizations, treating artists like slaves. Xu Kai is in a really tough situation. I don't know how he can break free without losing. I truly hope he can wins after enduring so much.
1. The topic of artists terminating their contracts with their management companies has recently been a hot topic online. One artist, in particular, has repeatedly made headlines due to this dispute, with both sides presenting "evidence," creating quite a spectacle for the public.
In the entertainment industry, artist-management company contract terminations are commonplace, and the reasons given are varied. Some cite lack of freedom, others health issues, but ultimately, the reason boils down to one thing: a conflict of interest between the artist and the management company.
Many management companies, focused on short-term profits and expansion, prioritize quick money for their artists, lacking clear plans for their development. This has led more and more artists to choose to establish their own studios or seek new collaborations with platforms rather than remain under the control of their management companies. With the internet so prevalent today, artists terminating their contracts not only face various financial entanglements with their management companies but also unprecedented levels of public scrutiny and public opinion pressure.
Agent M, formerly employed by a well-known talent agency, was forced to resign due to internal strife. Now self-employed, she runs a public relations and marketing company, primarily serving entertainment companies of all sizes. She explains how talent agencies handle contract terminations by artists.
1. The debate continues.
I. Management companies release negative press releases against artists whose contracts are expiring or ending.
1. My former company had a popular male artist, S, who was a very hardworking actor, contributing almost 60% of the company's revenue. His contract was for 10 years, and in its seventh year, the management company approached him about renewal. S expressed a strong desire not to renew. The company, wanting to give him a hard time, contacted six or seven PR and marketing companies to release a massive amount of negative press releases against S, severely damaging his career. 2. S's fans even questioned online why the management company didn't sue those spreading the rumors, but the management company couldn't answer. That's because the source of these negative press releases was the management company itself; there's no reason for a management company to sue itself. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of how management companies manipulate public opinion to control artists whose contracts are expiring or ending. 3. II. Management companies "silence" and suppress public opinion.
When rumors circulated online that artist S's contract was expiring and he was terminating it with his agency, the agency's first reaction wasn't to clarify, but to delete all related press releases online. Instead, they released press releases claiming a close working relationship between artist S and the agency.
As the rumors about artist S's contract termination and expiration gained momentum and couldn't be suppressed, the agency adopted a more indirect media tactic.
They hired professional online trolls to widely circulate comments under press releases about contract termination and expiration, suggesting artist S would not terminate his contract and would renew it.
Thirdly, they collaborated with the media to create the illusion of a good relationship with the artist. Even when the relationship between artist S and the agency had reached a critical point, their outward relationship appeared fine; artist S would still go out to eat and travel with company staff, but aside from work-related matters, they had little interaction.
The management company also took advantage of S's reluctance to completely sever ties, repeatedly hiring paparazzi to secretly film S having meals with other company staff, and then adding captions such as "S has a good relationship with the management company."
• New Question?
Most people who see such press releases would assume that artist S wouldn't terminate his contract, but the reality is quite the opposite.
IV. Arranging low-quality resources, malicious hype, disrupting the fandom – a multi-pronged approach
When artist S's contract was about to expire, his agency arranged a low-quality historical romance drama for him. After S refused, the agency engaged in malicious hype surrounding this supposedly drama for over two months.
Almost every agency plants shills within their fandom, and artist S's fandom was no exception. While the agency was conducting this malicious hype, these shills also cooperated. Major fans spread false information that artist S was accepting low-quality resources, using this as a pretext to brainwash and disrupt the fandom, causing a significant loss of fans for artist S.
For the agency, the quality of the script didn't matter; they just wanted to force artist S to accept the historical romance drama to extend her contract or gain greater profits.
K mentioned that almost every artist's contract expires or is terminated without any...
To avoid facing a besieged public opinion situation, many entertainment agencies and major public relations and marketing companies maintain close ties. Even top-tier artists are at a disadvantage in the face of an agency that controls absolute public opinion, and fans often inadvertently become tools for agencies to suppress their artists through public discourse. Whether it's online marketing accounts, the information cocoon of fan circles, or so-called gossipmongers, they are all just links in the huge closed loop of entertainment agencies. It is hoped that viewers can keep their eyes open when faced with the overwhelming flood of information on the internet.
Last episodes are so intense. It’s not just a matter faction fighting. Also Mommy is so bossy. What an authority. It's really in her veins. It's somewhat pleasant idk. Why not become a threat for good? Whatever happens, you're in trouble.
All the effort the girl put in to free herself. What was the point of letting her go and snitch to her mother? Ugh, it's so annoying that they let the controlling mother find out in the end.
LLF and SW are still caught between a rock and a hard place. I think the emperor will never trust him, no matter what he does. It doesn’t matter he takes positions or not. Actually, i would love to see turn of events where he take mommy sides, but it's unlikely to happen because he's a very loyal and upright person.
I am sorry to say I felt nothing when BHH died. Nothing. I just yawned like I yawned through most of her scenes.…
Don’t feel sorry. The brotherhood is the highlight. I mean for me that sticky ride or die friendship is the best part of the ending. I felt more when SMY transformed into demonic mode for Changhe. This is the true love hahaha 🤭
So what made Changhe this way later is all those years trying to walk on the other shore and never ending more powerful people i guess. I also think it's because he always has been ambitious one.
