The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 29 - 28: Rumors? Or Hype?

After many people came to their senses, none of them took it seriously; they thought it was probably just a prank.

For the sake of a show's effect during live streaming.

It was scripted.

For internet celebrities, this is a common occurrence.

Nowadays, internet celebrities will do anything for fame, what script haven't they used?

Like some live sea foraging, where someone places things ahead of time, and then others pick them up later.

This creates the illusion that you can find a lot of crabs and seafood while foraging.

Or someone might place lots of fish and other seafood in a puddle beforehand, so when the water is drained, you can see a treasure trove of seafood.

Some suspected that Fang Hao did this for the show's effect, by placing a radio at the bottom of the water in advance and then fishing it out during the livestream.

This would result in an explosive show effect.

Character setup!

Exactly, it was to create the impression of someone who couldn't catch fish.

So when they heard the broadcast from this radio, only a few people took it seriously, especially since the time mentioned was two days later.

What kind of news can predict what will happen two days in advance?

Today is only the 24th, and you're broadcasting news for the 26th?

Too fake.

You think you're a prophet who can foresee the future?

"If you could predict what's going to happen two days later, wouldn't you just buy lottery tickets and win the jackpot every time? Why even bother livestreaming?"

People started mocking.

"Yeah."

"But don't mess around, streamer. Even if you're playing a prank, you shouldn't joke about real celebrities, it's legally liable."

"Aren't you afraid of their fans' backlash?"

"If this gets picked up on Weibo and goes viral, I think the streamer is in trouble..."

...

Fortunately, not everyone thought this was a prank by Fang Hao.

Especially some viewers who have been watching Fang Hao's livestreams since way back, they believed that Fang Hao would not do such a thing.

And then there was a small portion of viewers who noticed Fang Hao's expressions, which didn't seem to be faked.

It seemed like he was completely unaware of this situation.

That's why they asked the question, whether the radio had some issues.

Everyone also noticed the radio.

From its appearance, the algae and rust stains, it really looked like the radio had been submerged underwater for a long time, and there was mud in some of its crevices.

It didn't seem like it was artificially aged and placed underwater.

Fang Hao was also observing the radio at this moment.

The radio was giving off a strange vibe.

Now there was no longer any sound coming from it.

Fang Hao pressed a few buttons again, but there was no sound.

The viewers were also watching Fang Hao tinker with the radio.

They too had some doubts in their minds.

After thoroughly checking it again, Fang Hao was certain that the radio was indeed junked.

The batteries in the back had been soaked in water for who knows how long and were useless.

Even less likely to provide power to the radio.

Besides, if it really had a power source… given how long the radio had been submerged, its circuits would have shorted out and burned a long time ago; there's no way it could still work.

So what exactly was going on?

Fang Hao was puzzled.

The more he examined the radio, the less he understood.

He couldn't see anything special about the radio either.

"I can assure everyone that this is definitely not scripted."

"As for what's up with the radio, I don't know. I just checked it carefully, and it really is broken."

But why could a radio that's already broken still broadcast sound?

That remains unknown.

It became an unsolved mystery in this livestream.

Fang Hao was speechless himself.

How could he know what was going on?

He just wanted to come out for fishing, who knew he'd fish up something like this.

"Does anyone know what's going on?"

"Could this really be haunted?"

"Or is it some kind of secret technology?"

"Don't take jokes too far."

"It's hard to find a streamer you like; I hope you have your own bottom line."

"Anyway, I don't really believe this isn't scripted."

...

On Weibo.

The news about Yi Jianqiu's arrest had been posted.

With the internet being so advanced, the slightest ripple spreads across the entire network in an instant.

No hiding from it.

Moreover, there were over two hundred thousand viewers in Fang Hao's livestream room at the time.

So many people were watching.

It was impossible for no one to post about it.

Soon, some netizens noticed the post and immediately started discussing it.

"It's definitely scripted."

"I don't believe a word those internet celebrities say, they'll do anything to become popular."

"The least trustworthy people nowadays are experts and internet celebrities."

"What kind of technology can predict news two days in advance? Isn't that just rubbing my intelligence in the dirt?"

"Haha, Yi Jianqiu PC getting caught? That might just be the funniest news ever. The guy's so good looking and rich, what kind of girlfriend can't he get? Does he really need to go find hookers? Ain't it better to date a celebrity girlfriend?"

"Yeah, our Jianqiu is such a good guy, how could he possibly resort to that?"

"Jianqiu has so many fans. Even if he wanted to, so many fans are willing to give themselves to him."

"Hope you guys stop spreading rumors!"

"Our brother Jianqiu has been working hard to hone his acting skills and has remained single for the sake of making good films!"

The buzz around this post quickly heated up.

Some of Yi Jianqiu's fans also joined the discussion, starting to denounce it.

They would not believe the rumors about Yi Jianqiu soliciting prostitutes.

"People nowadays really dare to make up anything for the sake of fabricating rumors."

"I will always believe in our brother Jianqiu."

This group of fans did not believe the story about Yi Jianqiu seeking prostitutes.

"Hahaha, is it because Yi Jianqiu has a new drama coming out soon?"

Others thought it was a publicity stunt.

"Hey, I actually found a drama called 'Hidden World' set to premiere next week."

"Hehe, there you have it, it must be hype."

"But this way of stirring up publicity is kind of novel, promoting an event two days in advance, and then you can explain it any way you want later."

"Whoever is behind this is pretty skilled."

Some people felt it was a stunt.

But, one had to admit, the topic had become hot.

The topic of Yi Jianqiu getting arrested quickly gained traction.

Some people helped to further amplify the discussion, driving the hype even higher.

The crew of "Hidden World" also noticed the trend and added fuel to the fire.

This was a golden opportunity for promotion; they would be foolish not to take it.

It was like they were the chosen ones, ready to hype things up before the premiere of their new show, but now they were even saved the trouble.

Leveraging this wave to gain momentum.

The new show's visibility was on the rise.

This was an excellent opportunity.
