In first-class on Air France, popular star Wei Changfeng noticed the young girl sitting next to him looked familiar. He sneered inwardly, thinking, 'These idol fans are really something these d...
No one expected that Du Shuang, a rising star in the film industry, would call Wei Changfeng at this moment and tell him a version she had come up with.
Du Shuang said that they could publicly disclose the situation of several of their old friends, saying that He Xiaomei went to see Wei Changfeng that day partly to visit an old friend, and partly at the request of Du Shuang and Liu Liang to discuss the post-holiday gathering with him.
The main theme is nostalgia, diverting public attention to the other individuals and their friendship. They believe that they will never forget each other in poverty or wealth, and that their friendship will endure even though they are on different paths now.
Furthermore, it should be accompanied by several photos of them from their younger days, focusing on their arduous struggles and hardships as struggling artists in Beijing before achieving fame. This can resonate with more young people and working professionals.
It turns out we're all the same; it's not easy for anyone to get to where we are, step by step.
If public opinion can be directed here, it will turn a bad thing into a good thing for Wei Changfeng. He will not only get rid of the troubles of the scandal, but will also become a role model for young people who have worked hard to succeed in Beijing.
"Great! This is a good idea!" Boss Wu Fei exclaimed repeatedly after hearing Wei Changfeng relay Du Shuang's idea.
"What do you all think of this plan? If there are no major problems, we'll proceed with the refinement based on this approach."
After hearing this, everyone felt it was reliable. This version seemed more complete and realistic than the plan proposed by Boss Fang of Qingyu Entertainment. The focus of public opinion would soon shift to this group of young people, rather than focusing on Wei Changfeng's three hours that night.
And the story of an ordinary young person from out of town who works hard and becomes a top star is just too inspiring, isn't it? It would be a perfect patriotic drama! Who would say anything about that?
"Du Shuang's plan is so elaborate, shifting the focus of public opinion, obscuring the events of that night, detailing her struggles, and resonating with young people—was it all her own idea? There seems to be a mastermind behind this," Zhao Hui exclaimed after listening.
"Regardless of whether or not someone has given guidance, I didn't expect Du Shuang to be so loyal. He was actually willing to step forward and help his friend at this time."
Most people would rather avoid such a commotion than risk getting caught in the crossfire.
Besides, she's an insider in the industry and knows how much trouble speaking out at this time could bring her.
Another agent was also somewhat surprised by Du Shuang's proactive intervention.
Because of the infamous "Backstabbing Cult" incident in the entertainment industry, many celebrities were involved, and some of them were unable to get roles for a long time.
Therefore, since then, celebrities have been extremely cautious when making statements and taking sides, basically acting on the principle of "minding their own business."
The young woman from the media and public relations department added, "Du Shuang actually has a good reputation in the industry. I've heard from people who have worked with her that she has a big sister vibe, but the rumors about her and that big shot are a bit gossipy."
"Hey, what's the big deal in this industry? Isn't it a rare occurrence these days?"
"Speaking of which, Xiao Wei, isn't it actually that girl surnamed He who has a crush on you? It's this Du Shuang, right? Otherwise, why would she be willing to get involved in this mess?" The company is already gossiping about it.
"There's no such thing as a secret crush or an open crush, Du Shuang is just loyal! She's always been like this, and she's still like this now that she's famous!"
Wei Changfeng said righteously and sternly that he was very grateful to Du Shuang for helping him in his time of need, but he was quite unhappy to hear his colleagues talking about her behind her back.
"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense and quickly analyze the line of thought we just discussed."
"Will this work? Is there anything that can be added? Are there any problems or potential risks? Think about these things quickly!" Boss Wu Fei stepped forward to uphold justice.
“A little,” Zhao Hui said. “I’ve heard Changfeng talk about his friends from back then. Some of them have completely changed careers, while others aren’t doing so well in this circle.”
Are these people willing to step forward and help? For example, that Liu Liang that Du Shuang just mentioned?
Ordinary people are unlikely to want to be drawn into a media storm, and if someone has already changed careers, they'd probably be very reluctant to agree to participate in this matter.
“There’s no need to worry too much about Liu Liang, who has changed careers,” Wei Changfeng said. “Although we don’t keep in close contact, we still greet each other during holidays and birthdays every year, so we haven’t completely lost touch.”
He then recounted the relationships between the group of five friends: himself, He Xiaomei, Du Shuang, Liu Liang, and Li Ang.
Liu Liang is currently a store manager in a district of Lianjia, mainly selling high-end residential properties and villas. He has been trying to get Wei Changfeng and Du Shuang to introduce him to their celebrity friends who want to buy houses, and he has also tried to sell houses to them.
Wei Changfeng didn't participate because he wasn't eligible to buy a house, but Du Shuang seemed to have been shown around houses by Liu Liang, so the two of them probably had more contact.
If Liu Liang steps forward this time and everyone focuses on him, he may transform from a store manager into a star real estate agent, which would be "all benefits and no harm" to his sales work, so he probably wouldn't be unhappy about it.
The remaining one, Li Ang, might be a bit difficult. He is still in the industry, but now he is mainly active on the stage.
He is very talented and has a good voice, but he never takes the initiative to contact other people.
If you contact him, he won't refuse. He'll respond to greetings, but he always seems a bit colder than others.
The boss leaned forward halfway and listened intently to Wei Changfeng's story. Then, he said firmly, "Little Wei, you don't need to worry about that."
If Li Ang were a white-collar worker, he might find it difficult to speak out for fear of disrupting his life.
But since he's in this industry, whether it's the film industry, the television industry, or the theater industry, I'm asking you, how important is fame to you?
