Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1009 - 1008:

Lin Fan noticed the chaos in today's entertainment industry, where traffic stars hold immense economic value. Once a traffic star emerges, a large group of fans gather, willing to spend money crazily on their idol, willing to be taken advantage of.

Capital is profit-driven. Seeing the value of traffic stars, capital started to mass-produce them through various means.

In today's entertainment industry, the main ways to produce traffic stars are talent shows, filming BL dramas, and even more ridiculously, forming a group from a young age to debut, known as development idols.

No matter the method, the purpose of capital in creating traffic stars remains profit. For capital, a traffic star is like a product, to put it bluntly, a money-making tool.

The world is bustling for profit, everyone is moving for profit, as a great thinker once said, once there is an adequate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is a fifty percent profit, it becomes adventurous; with a hundred percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; with three hundred percent profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging.

Once the purpose becomes profit-driven, chaos is inevitable, and in this process, in order to maximize profits, any means will be used, even breaking the law.

This is human nature.

The entertainment industry is a place filled with capital, and according to the theory of a great thinker, the entertainment industry inevitably harbors filth, no wonder people describe it as "truly chaotic."

There was once a star exposed for signing dual contracts, dodging and evading taxes amounting to billions, revealing just the tip of the iceberg of chaos in the entertainment industry. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It's said that after this star was hit with the iron fist, many other stars who also evaded taxes immediately paid up obediently.

Similarly, capital creates traffic stars one after another for profit, targeting the money in fans' pockets, using all means to take advantage, even cultivating something called "fan community."

Fan community, in short, is a circle formed by fans who adore a certain star. Those who enter the fan community are die-hard fans of this star. In the fan community, the star is like a supreme god, and fans are like followers.

For their god, fan community members spend money crazily. For example, if their idol releases an album, a magazine, or a new endorsement, the fan community will collectively buy in large quantities.

In the eyes of fan community members, their idol is the best, the most popular. They've been brainwashed and can't accept criticism or ridicule of their idol, leading to behaviors like defending and controlling public opinion for their idol.

To enhance fan community loyalty, capital will even employ marketing accounts to sow discord, leading to fan community verbal battles. To make fans spend more, capital will deliberately compare two traffic stars, causing a competition mentality between fan communities.

For instance, if two traffic stars both release an album, to prove their brother is more popular than the other, the fans will spend crazily, outdoing each other...

Watching the fan communities compete, the capital laughs behind the scenes, as these are all bright silver going into their pockets.

It could be said that the chaos of fan communities is so vast, it can't be finished in three days and nights. But in summary, fan community members are mostly composed of teenagers, and over time, these young people's values are concerning.

Lin Fan already foresees that if this continues, the country will likely step in to regulate the fan communities, and when the iron fist of the state comes down, the traffic stars will be the first to suffer.

Why? Because these traffic stars are created by capital, tools for capital to take advantage, and the direct cause of fan community chaos.

Targeting traffic stars means warning the capital behind them to be cautious, not to act recklessly, and not to think they can't be dealt with.

Fan community culture has brought many negative influences on star-chasing teenagers, especially as fan community members like to deify their idols, easily falling into blind worship. If the image of a traffic star is positive, it's fine, but once their misdeeds are exposed and they become disgraced artists, they will lead those die-hard fans astray.

Lin Fan now knows that soon, there will be a storm in the entertainment industry, brought by Hua Yiwu.

Once Hua Yiwu falls, it could become a catalyst for a massive regulation of the entertainment industry... and Lin Fan will be the one to help push this forward.

In the entertainment industry, the person Lin Fan cares about most is Ning Xiaoyue.

After all, Ning Xiaoyue is also a traffic star born under capital's star-making mechanism. The most fatal thing is that Ning Xiaoyue's ability is widely recognized as lacking, making her a prominent target for criticism.

Lin Fan has said that, although talent shows are a way for capital to mass-produce traffic stars, this model still has its merits.

That is, in this popularity-ranking selection model, the contestants' strengths are discovered and can be seen, they attract fans with their advantages, and the higher the ranking, the higher their value, which is actually an affirmation of their own value.

For example, a contestant has excellent singing and dancing skills, gaining immense fan support and debuting in the center position.

Another example is Ning Xiaoyue, who captivated countless fans with her beauty and adorable personality, which is where her value lies.

Compared to those Rich Second Generations or connections forcibly inserted into the entertainment industry, Lin Fan appreciates stars chosen by the public more, as they likely have more value for cultivation, because they are founded on "public choice" and have been tested from the start.

For someone like Liu Yina, a Rich Second Generation squeezed into the entertainment industry, she hardly has any fans. Even if she endorses a brand, no one buys it, and she has no commercial value. But if Ning Xiaoyue endorses a brand, countless fans will support it, showcasing commercial value.

Setting aside other factors, if Lin Fan had to choose between Liu Yina and Ning Xiaoyue for cultivation, he would definitely choose Ning Xiaoyue.

With Lin Fan's foresight into the future of the entertainment industry, he holds higher expectations for Ning Xiaoyue. He doesn't want Ning Xiaoyue to just be an idol; he can't let Ning Xiaoyue become just a tool for capital to take advantage.

He hopes Ning Xiaoyue can eventually break free from the idol constraints and become a true star.

In the entertainment industry, idols are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Those actors and singers with a formal background look down upon idols, much like how disciples of a Renowned Sect look down on Loose Cultivators.

Disciples of a Renowned Sect naturally carry a sense of superiority, feeling more noble than Loose Cultivators.

In reality, these so-called disciples of a Renowned Sect are not without their share of dummies, and their popularity often doesn't match the Loose Cultivators they disdain, yet they look down on others just because of their sect's name.

Lin Fan, in the past, loved reading Martial Arts Novels and enjoyed seeing unconventional Loose Cultivators teach those arrogant and self-important disciples of Renowned Sects a lesson.

Therefore, Lin Fan is also willing to nurture Ning Xiaoyue, to slap the faces of these Renowned Sect disciples.
