Actors, singers, idols, MCs, hosts...
On the stage, stars shine under the spotlight. The media chases them, fans support them, they are like idols high above.
But behind the brilliance,...
Chapter 380 Aquaman capsized?
"How is it, Chaoyue, are you okay?"
Seeing Yang Chaoyue enter the room, a girl with a somewhat heroic appearance stood up and greeted her with concern.
The girl who spoke was called Fu Jing, and she was also a member of Rocket Girls 101. Her family background was somewhat similar to Yang Chaoyue's. In the previous show, the two lived in the same dormitory, so they were considered the closest friends in the group.
"Oh, it's nothing." Yang Chaoyue waved her hand carelessly, "The agent sister just asked me about some previous situations, and then said that the company and Tencent were preparing to clarify the rumors, and asked me to cooperate with them next."
Fu Jing saw that her expression was relaxed and not forced, so she was relieved: "It's good that you're okay. Those black fans are really disgusting, and they spread rumors for no reason."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you see I'm not in a hurry." Yang Chaoyue smiled and comforted her.
The conversation between the two was not avoided, and the other members in the room could naturally hear it. The tense atmosphere just now immediately eased, and they all came over to comfort Yang Chaoyue.
Although they are a group, their popularity is divided into upper, middle and lower circles according to their rankings in previous debut shows.
Yang Chaoyue, who is very popular, is naturally one of the top circles with the highest popularity, which has brought a lot of exposure to this new group. However, because of her poor singing and dancing skills, many related stage and work resources can only be distributed.
There is no competition and it can also bring benefits to oneself. Who would not welcome such a teammate? Therefore, in terms of popularity in the temporary group of Rocket Girls, Yang Chaoyue is definitely the best.
"Chaoyue, were you really in Arc Light Film and Television before?" someone asked curiously.
Yang Chaoyue did not shy away from the topic and said frankly, "Yes, I came to Jingbei to look for a job and happened to see the company's recruitment, so I went there."
"What did you do at Arc Light? Filming?"
"No such good thing, just working." Yang Chaoyue said, "I was a receptionist, taking express deliveries, registering people, managing some information, etc."
Several girls sighed. Many of them actually came from ordinary families. Before their debut, they worked as dancers, coaches, art school teachers, etc., but they were still on the edge of this circle. In terms of social experience and career richness, they were really not as good as Yang Chaoyue.
"Hey, Chaoyue, that Mr. Meng Bai was your boss at that time, did you know him?"
Yang Chaoyue was speechless: "Of course I know him. I'm a receptionist and I don't even know my own boss, that's not the end."
"Oh, we're not talking about that kind of acquaintance." Several girls said excitedly: "You just have a good relationship?"
Yang Chaoyue wrinkled her face: "The relationship is the relationship between boss and employee, but because when I applied for the job, the boss was personally responsible, so he also knew me...it's okay."
"Many people on the Internet say that he is very handsome, what about his real appearance?"
"Appearance..." Yang Chaoyue recalled: "Well, quite handsome. But whether a man is good-looking or not can't be used to make a living. I still think it's amazing that the boss can build such a big company."
"Ah-it turns out that Chaoyue likes amazing men."
"If you don't like amazing ones, do you like pretty boys?" Yang Chaoyue shook her head in disgust: "I don't want to."
Hearing this, several girls started to make a fuss: "Then didn't you take the opportunity to pursue your boss at that time?"
"..." Yang Chaoyue rolled her eyes, "I told you not to watch those idol dramas all the time, you will become stupid. Which worker is so depressed that he would fall in love with his boss. Besides, he has a girlfriend."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately curious: "He has a girlfriend, who is she? Is she in the circle?"
"It's her privacy, how should I know." Yang Chaoyue said: "I just feel that she should have one."
"Huh - I thought I could eat melons."
Everyone sighed in disappointment, and someone sighed: "Alas, why can't I also meet such a good boyfriend."
"Girl group idols can't fall in love."
"Tsk, with a boyfriend like this, what kind of idol are you?"
"That makes sense..."
Several girls started talking at once, and the room suddenly became noisy again.
Listening to the familiar noise of her teammates, Yang Chaoyue sighed. Just as she was about to clean up, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the name of the caller, her breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and her eyes suddenly bloomed with some brilliance. After carefully glancing at her noisy teammates, she pretended to get up and walked to the side of the lounge and answered the phone.
"Hello, boss!"
"Xiao Yang, are you busy?"
A familiar voice came from the phone, it was the "male protagonist" they were just talking about.
"No, I just finished a trip and am packing up."
"You guys are really popular, with activities one after another." Meng Bai joked, "If I had known that you were still in Arc Light, I should have let you guest star in two more dramas. When they are broadcast now, the results will definitely be good."
"That won't work! My current pay is very different from that time!" Yang Chaoyue said seriously ,
"Tsk tsk, okay girl, it's different now that you debuted, it's not easy to cheat." Yang Chaoyue smiled,
"Hehe, there must be progress."
"Hehe, the progress is good."
Meng Bai praised, then paused, and then said, "You should have seen the news on the Internet these two days. Has the team contacted you?"
Hearing the serious business, Yang Chaoyue stopped joking and honestly told him about her situation.
After that, she said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, boss, I've implicated you again this time."
In Yang Chaoyue's opinion, if there weren't those black fans who were blackening herself, she wouldn't have involved Hu Guang and Meng Bai.
"Don't rush to apologize." Meng Bai stopped her, "It's hard to say now. We may not be the ones who implicated each other."
"Huh?"
Yang Chaoyue held the phone and blinked blankly, feeling that she didn't quite understand.
Perhaps he guessed her reaction, Meng Bai smiled and comforted her: "It's okay if you don't understand, just follow the requirements of the team operations, and the company will handle other things. I called you just to say that you don't have to care too much about these things, just relax."
"Yeah, I see." Yang Chaoyue nodded subconsciously, then remembered that she was on the phone, and added: "Thank you, boss!"
"Okay, then you go on with your work."
"Okay... Hey, boss, wait a minute, there's something I want to ask." Yang Chaoyue remembered something else and hurriedly said.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, I saw in that article that it was you who went to Tencent, so I got a high position..." Yang Chaoyue said carefully: "Is this true?"
"Ah, you said this... That's the case. But I didn't ask them to give you a high position, but no matter where you are ranked, there can be no human intervention." Meng Bai said: "So your third place is the real fan vote, no doubt about it."
"Is that so..."
Yang Chaoyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Since she finished reading that article two days ago, she has been wondering if her ranking is really due to Meng Bai's intervention.
Fortunately, there was no disappointing result.
But at the same time, her gratitude to Meng Bai deepened. She had seen topics like "Sacrifice to Heaven Script" on the Internet before, but at that time they had already formed a group, so she thought it was a rumor spread by the audience and fans outside.
Now it seems that she can debut so smoothly, thanks to the boss!
"Boss, thank you!" Yang Chaoyue repeated it seriously.
"You are our Arclight. If you are not selected because of your lack of strength, it's fine. But you can't accept being betrayed by others." Meng Bai said, "Work hard, Chaoyue. The company is waiting for you to make money."
It was rare to hear the boss calling her name. Yang Chaoyue was happy and said affirmatively, "Don't worry, boss, I will work hard!"
...
After hanging up the phone, the faint smile on Meng Bai's face gradually faded. He
tapped the table lightly with his fingers and pondered for a while, then called Hua Yan in.
"Has the clarification been issued?"
"Wajijiwa issued a rumor-refuting announcement, saying that the recent rhythm is all slander." Hua Yan said, "Boss, should we also issue an explanation?"
"We should, but we have to think carefully about the specific content." Meng Bai said.
It's not ten years ago. Netizens and fans have no trust in the various so-called rumor-refuting announcements in the entertainment industry. If you want people to believe it, you must explain the matter in detail so that people can't find any logical errors.
If there is substantial evidence, you should add it.
For individuals, it is a good choice not to fall into the trap of self-proof. However, for artists in the entertainment industry, they rely on their image and fans to make a living, so proving their innocence is often necessary.
"Have you found the publisher of this article?" Meng Bai asked.
Hua Yan frowned and said, "We found the website that first spread the article. It is a social economy channel. However, the website said that they also received an email asking them to promote the article. They don't know who the author of the article is."
"What about the email address that sent the article?"
"The email address is an overseas address. Tencent said they can help check it, but there is little hope."
"Oh, as expected."
Meng Bai sneered. If it was just a black article targeting a little idol like Yang Chaoyue, there would be no need for such a cumbersome process. It is obvious that the other party's target is to come at himself.
As for who is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is hard to say. Arclight has been developing for so many years, it is inevitable that there are some competitors. Or some works that have been broadcast recently may also be discredited by opponents.
In addition, such as his previous public boycott of "ratings fraud", which affected the interests of many people, it is possible that he has become the target of public criticism.
This is not a show like "Celebrity Detective". The murderer is among the few people at the scene. There is a 20% success rate for any random guess.
On the contrary, in most cases in reality, the murderer is hidden behind the scenes. At this time, it is difficult to find the problem from the motive. So the key clue is still in this article.
"In this way, check the mailbox if necessary, and also ask around in the self-media circle to see if you can find the author of this article."
Meng Bai looked at the screen: "The information of this article may be provided by others, but the specific content must be written by one person. The writing style is very sophisticated, and all kinds of emotional rendering are sufficient. At first glance, it is experienced and well versed in self-media network communication experience. People with this level should not be without any reputation."
"Okay, boss, I'll go find someone to ask." Hua Yan nodded in response.
"In addition, the content of the clarification article must be carefully considered by the publicity and distribution department, and it cannot be easily found by people. It doesn't matter if it's a little slow." Meng Bai reminded again.
In his opinion, if the other party's target is himself, there will definitely be a backhand.
And it is very likely that they are waiting for Arclight's clarification statement to be issued, and then they will find "errors" out of context to give netizens the impression that the entire statement is not credible.
But this is also a good thing, at least before that, the other party will not take any action. If his guess is correct, then he can take the initiative.
Unfortunately, Meng Bai is not a god who can predict everything, and things did not develop as he expected.
Just when Arclight was still considering how to respond, the second similar article turned out.
And this time, the other party no longer concealed their purpose, and the blade was pointed directly at Meng Bai. At
the end of September, when everyone was looking forward to the National Day holiday, a new big melon broke out in the entertainment industry.
