The Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast on August 1, Friday night. The next day, the Huaxia Internet was basically full of praise for Xiao Yao's performance at the award ceremony. It's a Saturday, so the topic is getting hot very quickly. A day later, the black material about Xiao Yao's "taking improper means to get a performance opportunity" appeared on the Internet. It was Sunday, and it was still the weekend, so the news spread very quickly on the Internet, and it quickly became a hot topic on the Internet.

Xiao Yao has returned to Huaxia, so when this "scandal" about him broke out on the Internet this time, Xiao Yao quickly knew. In the two days after his birthday, Xiao Yao didn't have much to do, mainly to take the time to record the song "Lucky" with Sun Tingting and Xiao Siqi. In the past two days, Xiao Yao has not been completely deaf to anything outside the window except for recording, this time he didn't even wait for the studio to call to inform him, and he found out when he went online.

Of course, Xiao Yao doesn't need to be told by the studio about this matter, which doesn't mean that the people in the studio don't have to do things. After this "scandal" came out, Xiao Yao's studio naturally acted and reacted. Although the last person to make the decision will be Xiao Yao, who has returned to China, how did this matter come about, how did it spread, what media did it participate in, where is the source, what is the purpose, how big is the current impact, and what is the trend of follow-up public opinion, the people in these studios all need to understand the investigation and analysis.

This news is very lively on the Internet in Huaxia and spreads widely, but the source is not Huaxia. Similar to the previous news that Xiao Yao "lingered in casinos and indulged in gambling", this news was also seen by some media reporters in Huaxia and reprinted in China. However, unlike the previous news, the news reprinted by the Chinese media this time was not transferred from the media in the United States, but from some non-mainstream media in South Korea.

It is mentioned in the news that Xiao Yao temporarily replaced others as a guest performer at the Billboard Music Awards after competition, and the competitor is a South Korean group that has developed in Europe and the United States, so it is not surprising that this news broke out from the Korean media, but what is somewhat surprising is that the first to break the news was not the Korean media, but the revelation from an anonymous netizen on the social media account of the Korean Internet.

As for the influence and public opinion trend, the situation is not particularly grim for Xiao Yao.

The news report did not present any substantial evidence, but only extrapolated from the fact that Xiao Yao benefited from the final result, which seems to make some sense logically, but it is not rigorous and rigorous. Most of the media just reprinted it, and most of them ended with a questioning attitude, without confirming the authenticity of the news, nor did they easily express their opinions and evaluations on the subjective tendencies of this matter.

In terms of ordinary netizens and the public, except for some online trolls who are more conspiracy theories, most ordinary netizens do not easily accept the things that the media that reprinted them do not express their convictions, and basically express the same cautious and skeptical attitude as the media. Since Xiao Yao's image has always been relatively good, before there is no new "real hammer" evidence, most netizens are still more inclined to believe that he is not that kind of person.

"Are those people wrong? Just use this to make my rumors?" After the studio informed Xiao Yao of the specific public opinion situation, Xiao Yao was a little speechless.

"Maybe people just want to disgust you with this?" Xiao Siqi smiled narrowly, "Who let you steal other people's performance opportunities!"

When Xiao Yao's matter came out, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were naturally very concerned. During this time, Xiao Yao was at home in Yanjing, and when he contacted his studio, Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying and Sun Tingting were also beside him. After knowing that the situation was not bad, Xiao Siqi's mood was relatively relaxed, and he also had the thoughts of Xiao Yao, who was ridiculing.

Not to mention, this kind of thing is really disgusting. If you want to say that the media spread rumors, now those media are very shrewd, and they deliberately stated that it was a reprinted news, and at the end they also expressed doubts about the authenticity of the news. What? Unverified news cannot be published? Do the media have to send someone to the foreign country to confirm every piece of foreign news in person? Not to mention those entertainment gossip media that are already spreading gossip, and they are not the mainstream social media that are concerned about the social and people's livelihood.

You have to go back to the source, the source of the family is an anonymous account that posts messages on foreign social media, not even an official account. Even if you have the ability to dig out the other party regardless of the cost, it is likely that the person who dug it out is an ordinary person. You, a big star, go to a lawsuit with an ordinary person regardless of the cost? It's not that you can't fight, but the pay and return are too disproportionate.

But you have to let it go, right? This is indeed a very eye-catching event that can arouse enthusiasm for discussion. As long as there are similar media reports and comments on the Internet, those trolls and "conspiracy theorists" who are not lacking in every country will still have the material, confidence and reason to continue to describe Xiao Yao as that kind of person.

Although most of the public and netizens may not necessarily believe it, they can always see those remarks, and it is extremely unpleasant to say anything.

"It's disgusting. Ye Jiaying nodded and asked Xiao Yaodao, "What are you going to do? What do the people in your studio say? Do you suggest that you accept an interview like last time or simply hold a press conference to clarify?"

"How to clarify?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Some people said that I secretly made a small move, and I said I didn't." There is no evidence in the news reports, and I can't prove it myself. Internet public opinion is not a criminal case, and it is not a case of suspicion of guilt, I can't prove it, and the two sides insist on their own words, and it is estimated that it will have no effect. ”

"Then you asked those people at the time to come forward to help you prove it?" Sun Tingting said, "The on-site director of the Billboard Awards ceremony, you seem to say that your name is David Green, right? and Nicky Thompson and Cordy Scott, who recommended you to be the guest performers, you should be able to contact them, and they should be willing to come forward for you, right?"

"It should all be possible!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "But didn't the report say that I played tricks to get those two American stars to recommend me and win the opportunity to be a guest performer? ”

"What then?" said Ye Jiaying.

"When you can't prove that you haven't done something bad, the best way is to tell everyone who really did something bad!" Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and said, "This kind of thing, I don't need to come forward myself, there should be someone else who can help me solve it." And this kind of thing, the effect of others coming forward is also better. ”

"What do you mean?" the three people next to him all looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously.

Xiao Yao didn't answer in a hurry, looked at the time, calculated the time difference, and dialed a call with his mobile phone.

"Hey, Tim, I'm Jan!" Xiao Yao said to the other end after the phone was connected.

"Hi, Jan!" Tim Haggis on the other end of the line greeted him happily, and continued, "Looking for me?"

"I want to ask, did you have any results from your investigation into Hopson's food poisoning?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Why do you care about that?" said Tim Haggis a little curiously, "You didn't care when you were in Vegas. ”

"I didn't care at first, because investigating why Hopson got food poisoning is your police's business, and it has nothing to do with me. Xiao Yao replied.

"Hey, if Hopson hadn't had an accident, you wouldn't be a guest performer on Billboard. Tim Haggis said.

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "but I didn't plan to be a guest performer on Billboards." I said yes because Nicky Thompson and Cordie Scott had recommended me, and I didn't want to live up to their kindness, and because I didn't like the Korean group's agent at the time, I didn't want the Korean group to be a guest performer. Frankly, if Hopson hadn't had an accident, none of this would have happened, so I don't thank him for that, so I'm not interested in who gave him food poisoning. ”

"Then why are you interested now?" asked Tim Haggis, "half a month has passed now, and you have already returned to Huaxia!"

"Because now some people say that Hopson's food poisoning accident was my secret ghost!" Xiao Yao said.

"Ah, how is that possible?" said Tim Haggis in surprise, "who said that?

"I don't know who it is, but the public source I was able to find out was an anonymous Korean online social account, and I can't be sure if it's related to the Korean group's agent or that group. Xiao Yao said, "You know, this kind of thing is associated with celebrities, which is very eye-catching." Although I don't know who first sent this news, and I can't be sure of the accuracy of this news, there are media reports in South Korea and Huaxia, and the public in Huaxia and South Korea don't have a good opinion of me now. I'm about to become a very famous villain star!"

"Ha, I'd love to see the scene where a hero in the eyes of Americans becomes a villain in the eyes of the Chinese, that must be interesting!" Tim Haggis said with a smile that didn't believe Xiao Yao's last sentence.

"Hey, can you FBI do it?" Xiao Yao began to agitate, "An ordinary food poisoning case has been investigated for more than half a month, and there is no result until now, and there is nothing to be done to see innocent people being wronged, are you embarrassed? You are still a senior agent, the head of the department of the division, how did you get into that position?"

"Don't mess with your hat!" said Tim Haggis, "First of all, Hopson is a popular star in the United States, and his case is not an ordinary case. Secondly, the case happened in Vegas, not Los Angeles, and it was investigated by a colleague in Vegas, and I just provided some information and help. In the end, the case was not inconclusive, but for some reason, it was just suppressed. ”

"Do you know the result?" Xiao Yao asked tentatively.

"Yes. Tim Haggis said, "At the beginning, the two of us guessed correctly, Hopson's food poisoning was not an accident, and it was indeed related to the agent of the Korean group, and further down, it involved the top management of some entertainment companies in South Korea and the United States." ”

"Your FBI investigation has come out, but nothing has been done, can Hopson have no opinion?" Xiao Yao said, "Hopson's owner is also an American entertainment giant, and his energy is not small, right?"

"Hopson doesn't know!" laughed Tim Haggis, "the person who carried out the poisoning has been arrested." The police were persuaded that the case was kept from the media and not intended to be made public in order not to affect the image of Vegas and to avoid possible conflicts between the fan base and the entertainment giants. Under normal circumstances, Hopson would not have known that he was poisoned!"

"Then you tell me now, aren't you afraid that I will break the news to the media?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Don't be afraid!" laughs Tim Haggis, "First of all, I'm from the Los Angeles office, not from Vegas. Secondly, although this case is hidden from the media, the level of internal secrecy is not particularly high, and many people know about it. I know a lot of people in the Vegas branch, and more than one of them knows about this case. I'm not worried about the boss of the Vegas branch, and I don't have to worry about bothering my friends. ”

"And," Tim Haggis continued, "I don't think you need to tell the media about it if you want to get revenge and get angry." Leave this matter to me!"

"I'll leave it to you?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You plan to offend the top management of an American entertainment company in order to help me." ”

"First of all, a middle manager in the FBI is not afraid to offend the top management of an entertainment company. "Secondly, I don't have to come forward and expose myself. Like you said, Hopson's company is also an influential entertainment company. If Hopson had received some evidence of his food poisoning incident and learned the truth, I don't think he would have let go of the Korean group or their agent and the company behind them. When the time comes, the two sides pinch each other, the media is alarmed, and they come to the door, and the police will definitely not fabricate evidence, so they can only stand on the side of justice and truth and truthfully explain the details of the case to the media. Wouldn't that solve the disadvantage you're facing?"

"So, without exposing yourself, you will send the relevant evidence to Hopson, let Hopson notify the media, and put pressure on the police?" Xiao Yao understood.

"Simple, isn't it?" laughs Tim Haggis, "because I don't think you're interested in this case or the Korean group." Now that you're facing that kind of public opinion situation, then of course I don't mind doing such a thing to help you!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said sincerely.

"You're not polite to me!" laughed Tim Haggis.
