On September 13, a seemingly ordinary social update instantly triggered a hot search because of a like - Guan Xiaotong's father Guan Shaozeng actually liked a Weibo post about the rumors of his daughter breaking up with Lu Han! Although it was cancelled after likes, there were screenshots of hand-speed players on the Internet to save evidence. This wave of operations directly made "Guan Xiaotong's father like Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong's breakup blog """ arriving on the hot topic.
The content of the liked blog post pointed out that the two of them were not in the same frame during the Chinese Valentine's Day this year. One worked in Jiangxi, and the other had a mystery, and it was related to the breakup speculation that had been circulating for several months. This praise was teased by many netizens as "back thorns from official personnel", and some people said helplessly: "Now you have to learn to read the circle of friends when you eat melons, right?"
Guan Xiaotong's fans quickly came forward to put out the fire, emphasizing that "likes have been cancelled", and explained that Guan Xiaotong's father is 65 years old this year, not very familiar with mobile phone operations, and the possibility of missing points is very high. He called on the public to pay more attention to Guan Xiaotong's new drama "Fireworks Boy". This statement is not completely unreasonable. After all, Guan Shaozeng praised Lu Han for being "steady and responsible" in interviews and shows, and his sudden change in attitude was indeed a bit abrupt.
But another netizen raised sharp questions: Why don’t you post an explanation if you cancel the like? Combined with the previous actions of the two affiliated companies to split their equity one after another, this praise is more like a "silent default". What's more, the key time point is stuck on the eve of Guan Xiaotong's birthday on September 17 - Lu Han, who sprinkled sugar on time in previous years, this year's blessing has become a judging point for the entire network.
It is worth noting that the studios of both parties have not made any positive responses to the romance rumors so far. Guan Xiaotong's side was accused by some public opinion of "using the popularity of love to promote new dramas", while Lu Han suffered from public opinion's backlash due to the change in the name of fans.
Now, the entire network seems to have started a collective countdown of "cloud judgment": on September 17, Guan Xiaotong's birthday, if Lu Han publicly wishes, the storm will disperse; if he is silent... it may be equivalent to a silent "breakup official announcement".
This public opinion tsunami triggered by "dad's hand slip" has long surpassed the gossip itself and turned into a mixed game about the privacy rights of public figures, fan psychology and public opinion manipulation. After all, feelings are private matters, but they are forced to become a TV series tracked across the Internet - the next "update" is probably on your birthday.
