Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
The manager was furious: "Now look what's happened! You wanted to solidify your image, but what everyone sees now is someone who, even after trying hard, still can't keep up with the movements or stay in sync. What are you going to tell your fans? How are you going to explain this to them? Are you going to say, 'I'm sorry, I've tried my best, please forgive me?'"
Mingqian whispered, "What should we do now? Things have already come to this, I can't just leave without explaining anything, can I?"
"Explain? Explain what? In this situation, the more you explain, the more confused things will become. Just leave it at that, don't explain anything, let them guess and figure it out themselves. After this storm has passed, you can come forward and say that you actually had your reasons." The agent waved his hand.
“But they’ll lose fans if we do that.” Mingqian bit her lower lip. “Brother Hao, let me explain. I’ll say I wasn’t feeling well at the time, or… or that something happened at home and I was worried about it and a little distracted?”
Hao Lin glanced at Ming Qian and sneered, "Heh, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Wouldn't it be better to use them on training?"
Mingqian pursed her lips.
Haolin pondered for a moment and said, "It's not your place to explain. I'll have the gossip outlets spread the word that someone saw you feeling unwell while waiting backstage, experiencing dizziness and vomiting, but you still insisted on going on stage to perform."
Haolin: "Then, I'll hire some online trolls to smear you, saying you're not good at your job, too delicate, and just make excuses... Basically, I'll create a trend of collective cyberbullying against you, understand?"
Mingqian nodded.
Haolin: "Just keep quiet and don't say anything. Be the wronged little white flower and quietly endure the online harassment from the online army. Then I'll find a way to get you a medical record and release it at the appropriate time."
Haolin: "At this time, your fans will definitely feel sorry for you and come to feel sorry for you. You should post on Weibo at this time. Note that you should not mention your grievances at all in the post. Do not mention them at all, as if you have forgotten about this matter. Focus on caring about your fans."
Haolin: "In this way, those fans who have been tormented by your miserable situation will instantly become die-hard fans after you comfort them like this."
Mingqian nodded somewhat blankly; this was the first time he had ever heard of such things.
Haolin smiled smugly and patted Mingqian's shoulder: "That's how this industry is. It's all a mix of truth and falsehood. The more adversity you face, the more likely you are to make a comeback. You might lose some fans this time, but those who stay for you are your die-hard fans. You'll have even more fans in the future, but die-hard fans are rare."
"So, a little bit of 'manipulation' on your fans is what makes them even more devoted to you, understand?"
Mingqian nodded slowly, agreeing with Haolin's statement.
Haolin was most satisfied with Mingqian for this. Although she wasn't very capable and had no special skills other than her pretty face, she was obedient enough to follow his arrangements.
Without hesitation, Haolin quickly released the news that Mingqian was unwell, then arranged for Mingqian to go back to the backstage of that concert and take several photos of herself vomiting in the toilet, and then had the marketing account write the corresponding captions and release them.
This move instantly pulled the fans who were already on the verge of wavering back. After a moment of mental association, they were immediately tormented by the very ideas they had come up with.
Oh my god! So Qian-ge was feeling unwell? So he performed on stage despite being in pain? It turns out what we saw wasn't the truth. Qian-ge still loves us, otherwise why would he have gone on stage despite being sick?
But what did they do to Qian Ge? They actually didn't believe Qian Ge, but instead believed those opportunists who would sway with the wind at the slightest gossip!
The fans, who had initially been agitated, gradually calmed down and quickly regained their confidence, using this to criticize those who had unfollowed them for being heartless.
Haolin is, after all, a manager who has been in the entertainment industry for many years. In addition to manipulating fans and stabilizing their hearts, he also specifically found some celebrities to leak information to divert attention and reduce the heat.
Wen Yu became his target this time.
The reason why Wen Yu from the same team was chosen instead of Rong Yu is because Wen Yu's revelations this time were indeed explosive enough to suppress the infighting among Ming Qian's fans.
#WenYuXingSecondGeneration#
#Son of actress Wen Linghui#
Although he has already debuted, Wen Yu's fame is limited to the group of fans who watched his debut, while Wen Linghui is already an internationally renowned actress who has won many awards and is a goddess-like figure in the hearts of many men when they were young.
Even now, Wen Linghui still frequently appears in period dramas, playing roles such as dignified and elegant noble ladies, or even empresses.
For example, the empress in the period drama "The Heavenly Decree," which is broadcast every winter and summer vacation, was played by Wen Yinghou, and was once praised as the most noble and dignified empress in period dramas.
As a result, the news that Wen Yu was Wen Linghui's son instantly attracted a lot of attention and quickly became a hot topic!
Wen Linghui's fans flocked to the site, and upon comparison, they indeed discovered that the two had many similarities in appearance!
Wen Yu was already quite pretty, and you couldn't tell when she had short hair. But if you photoshopped her with long hair, she would look like a carbon copy of Wen Linghui!
A celebrity's child actually went on an idol training program and successfully debuted! There was absolutely no news about it during the debut period, and it's only been revealed now!
Some people think that Wen Yu doesn't want to rely on his parents and wants to debut through his own efforts, while others start to speculate that Wen Yu's debut vote count must be inflated.
Regardless of the change, everyone's attention has been successfully shifted to Wen Yu's side, and no longer focused on the infighting among Ming Qian's fans.
Wen Yu's agent had already planned when to announce the news, but now someone else had unexpectedly revealed it first. He was furious. He glanced at the trending topics and quickly discovered Ming Qian's mess. What was there to misunderstand? He immediately created a negative trending topic for Ming Qian as well.
Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover.
If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think everyone in the team is a pushover, someone you can bully at will, just to lower your little artist's trending topics?
Knowing full well that Wen Yu's mother is a famous international film queen, she still had the audacity to try and drag down her son's trending topics. He had to admire her courage!
Mingqian had already listened to Haolin's words and was now reassured enough to ignore her private messages on Weibo. She even abandoned her main account and only used her alternate account to log in to Weibo to check the progress of the public relations efforts.
Upon seeing the news that the marketing account had announced its own health issues, the fans' initial excitement turned into concern for her, and Mingqian's worries gradually subsided.
Things started to develop in the direction Haolin had predicted, which was a good thing for him. Now he just needed to wait patiently for the professional trolls Haolin had bought for him to attack and cyberbully him, while he remained silent and played the role of a pitiful innocent victim of cyberbullying.
However, to Mingqian's surprise, shortly after Wen Yu's incident was brought to the forefront and attracted a lot of his attention, a trending topic revealing that he had undergone plastic surgery was quickly pushed to the top!
Mingqian instinctively covered her face, her eyes revealing a look of terror.
He clicked on the trending topic almost instantly, and then he saw the post from the most popular blogger, who had attached a comparison picture of his face in junior high school and his face now.
From the height of his nasal bone as seen from the side, to the width of his nostrils as seen from the front, as well as the arrangement of his teeth, the width of his cheekbones and the width of his jawbone, all were drawn and compared, and then the places he had undergone plastic surgery were pointed out.
Mingqian felt a chill run down her spine and immediately called Haolin to ask him what was going on with those negative rumors online. Was this the negative information Haolin had promised to provide for her? That's not what he said before!
Haolin's tone was also somewhat unpleasant: "This wasn't me. It's very damaging to an artist's reputation if they've had plastic surgery. Even if they really have, they have to do everything they can to hide it, let alone if they haven't. How could I joke about something like this?"
Mingqian: "Then... what's going on here?"
Haolin said angrily, "It's all because of Wen Yu! Damn it, how could I forget that Wen Yu shares an agent with that old woman Wen Linghui? He didn't reveal his identity before, probably because he had some plan. Now that I've revealed it to them in advance, they're angry, so they started to retaliate. That old woman's agent is always vindictive. It was my mistake!"
"What's the point of saying all this now? We shouldn't have messed with Wen Yu in the first place. Couldn't we have just kept using Rong Yu as a scapegoat? It's always been like this anyway." Ming Qian was anxious, and her voice couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment.
Hao Lin's face instantly darkened: "What? Are you blaming me? Ming Qian, don't forget how you got to where you are today! If it weren't for Young Master Chang, do you think you would have taken on a hopeless idiot like you? Do you know how many talented artists are begging me to take them on?"
On the other end of the phone, Mingqian bit her lip hard, almost drawing blood, before swallowing the resentment in her heart. She then put on a humble and remorseful voice, "I'm sorry, Brother Hao. I got agitated just now. I was too scared. I don't want to be slandered like this."
Haolin finally sensed something was wrong, and his fingers tightened around his phone: "Mingqian, you seem a little too nervous? What's wrong? Since you're bothered by people accusing you of having plastic surgery, I can have someone take you to the hospital to prove your innocence."
Haolin's tone revealed a hint of suppressed anger: "Or are you saying that you were lying to me before, and that you actually did have plastic surgery?"
"No!" Mingqian quickly denied, "No! That's not true! I haven't had any work done! I haven't!"
