Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 435: Xiao He: They Steal Whenever They Feel Like It—What Do They Take Me For?

Perhaps no one could have imagined that on the day of the birthday party, Xiao Heʼs stunning performance not only brought immense pressure and deep shock to many other actors present at the time, but also successfully broke the defenses of a certain petty individual from next door.

But in reality, that wasnʼt the only thing that caused someone to break.

After finally obtaining the opera houseʼs permission to record a one-minute performance video during the show, Han Jae-wooʼs team immediately sent it to foreign websites, hoping to gain traffic and support, but it didnʼt even create a single ripple.

There was even a passing Chinese netizen who, upon discovering Han Jae-wooʼs clumsy imitation, found it hilarious and immediately left a few sarcastic, insinuating comments in the comment section. Surprisingly, the number of likes on those comments ended up being higher than on the video itself.

What delivered an even more devastating blow was that someone, with a particularly sharp and mocking tongue, made a side-by-side comparison of Xiao Heʼs version and Han Jae-wooʼs version. The conclusion was regretful: Xiao Heʼs performance was genuinely brilliant, while Han Jae-wooʼs wasnʼt actually bad on its own. But when compared to Xiao Heʼs, it became obvious that Han Jae-woo had frequently peeked at Xiao Heʼs video, silently stealing and imitating it. The final result was that Han Jae-wooʼs performance wasnʼt very convincing, and his imitation wasnʼt very accurate either. Placed next to Xiao He, it was like comparing heaven to earth.

Upon seeing this comment, Han Jae-woo was truly broken, cursing incessantly with ”Aish!” and similar exclamations.

Consequently, his team decisively switched strategies. They abandoned the blatant comparisons and disparagement and moved straight to outright ”taking.” They treated Xiao Heʼs performance version with a shameless ”Give it to me!” attitude, launching a full-on, braindead campaign across the internet. Ironically, Han Jae-wooʼs official stage play performance recording video has now been completely scrubbed clean from the web by his own team.

And now, returning to the present.

After Liu Rulan clearly understood the situation, she decisively focused her target on that performance video.

”Are there any circulating videos of Han Jae-wooʼs version of the performance online right now?”
Liu Rulan asked.

”Weʼve already investigated. Han Jae-woo performed two shows at the Frank Goethe Grand Theater in France about half a month ago. That major theater has always prohibited audience recording, so we havenʼt been able to find any related video clips of his performance yet.”

Lin Cheng answered very honestly, ”In fact, almost all the related videos our searches retrieve are either Brother Xiaoʼs or performances by other actors.”

The other side is truly using Xiao He as a skin suit. Theyʼve strongly bound keywords and the name ”Han Jae-woo” to related videos. Searching yields results that leave one speechless, and itʼs genuinely nauseating.

Of course, Han Jae-wooʼs side isnʼt completely brainless. He hasnʼt pulled these little stunts in his own country, but has conducted them entirely on foreign website platforms. This creates a natural barrier, isolating both Xiao Heʼs fans and his own fans.

After hearing this, Liu Rulan directly rolled her eyes.

”However, based on our tracking, Han Jae-woo actually posted a video of his performance during the initial phase. But later, it seems someone mocked him a few times. He got too broken and deleted the video. Now, itʼs very difficult to find any traces of the related video across the entire internet.”

After all, itʼs a foreign social media platform. Cross-platform screening is already quite difficult for them. Moreover, based on current interest relationships, Han Jae-woo clearly has closer ties with foreign capital. As a Chinese person, Xiao He naturally faces many restrictions and doesnʼt have as much of a voice on these platforms.

Whether itʼs countering the water army or pulling traffic on foreign websites, they are at a disadvantage compared to actors from over there.

—This is the most troublesome part.

Liu Rulan frowned.

Even she couldnʼt easily claim she could control the public opinion situation on foreign websites.
