Chapter 26 Chapter 26
As soon as the xx brand insulted China, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Everyone turned into Sherlock Holmes, and soon, xx's words and deeds over the years were exposed. People
then realized that xx has always looked down on China.
A few years ago, it was revealed that in xx's store, the staff only served foreign customers and ignored domestic customers.
But later, xx used public relations methods to suppress it.
There are also various other things that are also treated differently between foreign and domestic.
It's just that the matter is not big, and many people are used to the arrogance of xx, a top foreign luxury brand, so they usually just put up with it.
Now that it has been exposed, everyone suddenly realized it.
Moreover, some people dug out the financial reports of xx in recent years and found that xx's sales in the Chinese market have been increasing year by year, almost accounting for half of the total sales. They
are obviously the financial sponsors, but they are treated as grandsons.
It seems that they are regarded as the biggest enemies!
In the final analysis, xx's arrogance and bullying of China is just because they are used to bullying China.
But nowadays are different from the past, and the Chinese people nowadays will not accept this.
Therefore, a wave of "boycotting xx" was quickly set off on the Internet.
[I am not a rich person. I probably spend about a million yuan a year at xx. I used to treat this amount of money as feeding the dog. Don’t even think of spending a dime on me in the future]
[I went to xx once before. It’s not that I couldn’t afford it, but I just didn’t like it. The clerk said in a gloomy tone that poor people shouldn’t come to xx. Don’t worry, I will never come here in my lifetime! Any Chinese with a little respect will not come here! ]
[Don’t just focus on xx. It has a series of sub-brands! There are xxx, xx... I have sorted them out. You have to treat them equally and don’t miss any of them! ]
[Thank you, sorter, it has been spread! ]
[Spread +1]
...
Celebrities also responded quickly and spoke out to draw a clear line between themselves and xx.
In just one day, xx's market value evaporated by more than 20%, and the stock market hit the limit down.
The top management of xx, who had been arrogant and refusing to admit their mistakes, quickly fell to their knees, and the chief designer apologized and resigned.
But it was too late.
xx's reputation in China was completely ruined. A few months later, xx could no longer hold on and withdrew from the Chinese market.
After this incident, other foreign brands also became much more honest. Not only did they improve their service attitude, they also specially posted on Weibo to appease domestic customers, saying that they would never discriminate.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
After xx knelt down, Zuo Hang, who was previously rushing to promote the show, fell into disgrace, and even affected the parent company Xingmao Media. Now it is in a state of panic and has no mood to stir up trouble in the fan group of Meng Yuansheng and others.
And his end also made other companies that were ready to make a move feel uneasy.
They have used this method countless times, but this is the first time they have encountered such a weird situation.
Think about it again, from the beginning when Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin participated in the show, Jiang Mo targeted them at first, and then Jiang Mo was in trouble. Then it was Guangyi’s people who tried to slander, and then Guangyi was in trouble.
Add to that Zuo Hang now, it can be said that everyone who wants to provoke them will not have a good end.
Damn it!
These two artists are poisonous! !
The more people thought about it, the more frightened they became, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of these people.
Without them stirring up trouble, the fan group has become much calmer recently, and the performance rhythm has also been put on track. Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin are both relieved.
But time is still very tight, because they have to take a day off to go to Jingshi to record an advertisement for Tianshu mobile phones.
This is the first time they have left Dunhai City in more than a month.
When the two followed Gu Xingshi out of the dormitory door, they were a little dazed.
The three of them walked out together and were soon seen by the fans who were waiting, and the fans immediately burst into enthusiastic shouts.
Such scenes have happened every day in the past month.
But the two who were shouted still felt shocked and grateful.
After all, before they came here, they were just ordinary people. Who could have thought that so many things would happen in just over a month? It was like a lifetime ago.
Gu Xingshi was the same, so he did not rush the two of them, but let them greet the fans properly. Even if a fan had a photo in his hand, he would take it and let the two of them sign it before handing it back.
But he did not expect that after he handed it over this time, the little fan actually asked with a red face: "Brother agent, can I shake your hand?"
Gu Xingshi was stunned.
The little fan's eyes sparkled, and he said sincerely, "Don't listen to those who have ulterior motives. Fans are very grateful for your dedication and care for the brothers. Thank you very much."
Other fans recognized Gu Xingshi and came over to encourage him.
"Boss Gu, don't listen to what people outside say. We all think you are great!"
"Boss Gu, come on! We will always support you!"
"Boss Gu, I am your fan of looks! I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
...
Listening to the fans' chatter, Gu Xingshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart softened.
Facing such a simple, passionate emotion, it is really hard not to be touched.
Finally, he just waved his hand gently: "Don't worry, go back early."
-
Arriving in Beijing, the three of them didn't have time to rest and rushed to the shooting location.
Tianshu Mobile Youth Edition invited a total of six young artists to be spokespersons.
In addition to Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin, there are three young actresses and a young actor.
The two of them will shoot with the young actor.
The young actor is named Yan Luoyuan. Two years ago, he played the second male lead in a popular campus drama and became very popular.
When the three of them drove into the filming location, they saw Yan Luoyuan's fans surrounding the outside.
But they didn't expect that Yan Luoyuan hadn't come yet when they arrived.
In fact, the filming was delayed until now to accommodate Yan Luoyuan.
Including the filming time, Yan Luoyuan's team asked to shoot first, but it would not start until 2 pm.
After a lot of negotiations, they reluctantly agreed to start filming at 11 o'clock.
But now it's 11:30, and they haven't come yet.
Not only did they not come, they didn't even call to explain the situation.
The crew almost blew up the other party's phone before they finally contacted Yan Luoyuan's agent Zhu Xin.
Zhu Xin kept apologizing in a very good tone, saying that Yan Luoyuan was not feeling well and was late, and he would be here soon.
There was no further news about this.
Gu Xingshi glanced at his watch and frowned slightly.
If they delay any longer, they will not have enough time. If they fail to catch the plane, it will also affect the subsequent schedule of "Men's Group Training Camp".
He comforted the anxious Meng Yuansheng and the others, walked out to find the filming crew, and asked them if they could shoot first.
The filming crew was also very angry from waiting.
In addition, Yan Luoyuan did not answer the phone again, and the director was also annoyed and made the decision directly: "Okay! You shoot first."
Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin had already done their makeup and hair, and they only needed to touch up their makeup.
After some adjustments on the scene, they could finally start shooting.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Yan Luoyuan finally arrived.
He wore a pair of sunglasses that covered most of his face, with one hand in his pocket. He looked listless and yawned all the time.
His agent was a good person. He kept apologizing as soon as he arrived, and asked his assistant to distribute coffee to them, saying that Yan Luoyuan was not feeling well and asked everyone to be more tolerant.
Everyone was very angry at first, but after hearing what he said, and seeing that Yan Luoyuan looked really bad, they could not vent any resentment.
But at this moment, Gu Xingshi suddenly heard the system say: [After serving two sponsors this evening, of course you will feel uncomfortable~]
Gu Xingshi was shocked: [Tell me about it! 】
System: 【Yan Luoyuan, the agent, calls himself an agent, but he is actually a pimp. He often introduces sponsors to his artists. Among them, Yan Luoyuan is the most obedient and has the best resources.】
【Originally, Yan Luoyuan was assigned only one female sponsor last night, but he went to another place in the middle of the night and played until the morning. He only slept for two or three hours in total, so of course he was exhausted. The funniest thing is that before leaving, he posted a Weibo using Yan Luoyuan's account, saying that he was not feeling well, but he still forced himself to go to work, which made his fans feel distressed.】
Gu Xingshi's brows suddenly wrinkled.
The system said again: [Of course, this Yan Luoyuan is not a good guy either. He has no scruples in private and has participated in several silver parties. After his agent found out, he not only did not blame him, but also helped him cover up. Fans still think he is a virgin who has never been in a relationship.]
Gu Xingshi's brows were completely tied into a knot, and it took a long time for him to say: [...Then the two of them, they are quite two-way.]
Moreover, playing so extravagantly, isn't he afraid of kidney deficiency? !
Gu Xingshi rubbed his forehead.
He still thought too little. He thought he only needed to pay attention to whether the brand had any gossip. He didn't expect that a normal brand could also encounter a weird colleague.
But he can only endure this time. I really hope there will be no next time.
But what he didn't expect was that none of them blamed Yan Luoyuan's team, but his agent was the first to make trouble.
He went straight to the director: "Director Ni, didn't you say that our Luoyuan would shoot first?"
The director said unhappily: "That was originally the case, but look at the time, how late you were, and you haven't done your makeup and hair, we can't let everyone wait for him, right?"
Zhu Xin: "Director Ni, we didn't mean it, you can see that our Luoyuan is not feeling well, if we wait any longer, I don't know if he can hold on, if he doesn't finish the shooting, that's not good..."
The director also frowned.
Zhu Xin took a look and showed a smug smile.
As long as the director hesitates, it means that he has been shaken, and then he just needs to convince the two young interns and their agents, and there will be no problem.
This is not easy.
In his opinion, even if two interns from a small company were lucky enough to get this opportunity, they should be timid in front of them. Just asking them to wait is not a big deal!
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he said it, Gu Xingshi refused without hesitation.
Zhu Xin was stunned: "Agent Gu, did you not hear me clearly?"
Gu Xingshi: "No, I heard you clearly, I refuse."
Zhu Xin did not expect Gu Xingshi to be so disrespectful, and his face turned ugly in an instant: "Agent Gu, you may have just entered this circle not long ago, and you don't know many rules. Our Luo Yuan is the senior, and your artist is just a trainee who has not debuted yet. Regardless of the status or the time of debut, your family is the junior, and you should give way to the senior. Otherwise, if it gets out that your artist does not respect the senior, it will be difficult for you to survive in this circle."
Gu Xingshi was almost laughing out of anger.
He had never seen such a shameless person.
"First of all, we have already made great arrangements. From the shooting time to the order, you were the ones who were three hours late. According to the previously agreed time, it should be our turn now."
Gu Xingshi said bluntly, "As for whether my artist will be able to get along well in the circle in the future, you don't have to worry about it. If you have the time, you might as well take care of yourself first."
Zhu Xin was stunned.
He didn't expect Gu Xingshi to be so strong!
What did he rely on! !
Zhu Xin said in a cold tone: "Young man, you should leave yourself a way out. Don't be too arrogant, otherwise you will
run into someone you can't afford to offend and hurt your future." "Threat me?" Gu Xingshi laughed, "I'll give you this. Don't always think of bullying others with your seniority, otherwise you will run into someone you can't afford to offend and not only hurt your future, but also implicate the financial backers behind you."
Zhu Xin was immediately suspicious: "You..."
But Gu Xingshi no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he looked at the director as if nothing had happened: "Director Ni, can we start shooting?"
The director, who had been pretending to be calm, woke up immediately: "Shoot, shoot, shoot now."
-
Zhu Xin was humiliated by Gu Xingshi and returned to the lounge with a gloomy expression.
Yan Luoyuan was playing with his mobile phone. When he heard him come in, he said casually: "Have you agreed?"
Zhu Xin gritted his teeth: "No..."
Yan Luoyuan continued: "If you had followed my instructions earlier, you would have started shooting at 2 pm... Wait, what did you say? No?"
"Yes." Zhu Xin couldn't help but tell Yan Luoyuan what Gu Xingshi said.
Yan Luoyuan couldn't believe it: "Is he crazy? Does he know who I am?"
Zhu Xin didn't say anything.
Gu Xingshi's words always made him a little concerned.
Yan Luoyuan sneered, "You are really getting timid. You are scared by a small agent's boasting."
"You can't say that." Zhu Xin said, "If he doesn't have any backing, how can two trainees shoot the advertisement for Tianshu?"
"So what?" Yan Luoyuan didn't care, "The people behind me are Ning Zong and his friends. I know everyone in their circle, but I have never seen many of them. If he wants to suppress me, he must get in touch with the head of the Wen family." But
everyone knows that Wen Yue has always been clean and never hangs out with this group of people.
Zhu Xin's face turned from gloomy to bright: "You are right, I was almost fooled by that kid!"
Unexpectedly, he was pecked in the eye by a goose while hunting geese all day.
Being played around by a young man who just entered the industry.
Zhu Xin was angry and humiliated.
Yan Luoyuan said: "Let's go, let's go out and expose him now, and let him and his two poor trainees get out."
"Wait." Zhu Xin stopped him, "The shooting has already started. After all, it is an advertisement for Tianshu. If something goes wrong, it will be reported to President Wen, and President Ning and others may not be willing to protect you."
"Then what should I do? Just let him humiliate me like this?" Yan Luoyuan said dissatisfiedly.
Since he became famous two years ago, he has always been flattered by others.
Shooting an advertisement with two trainees already made him unhappy, and now he has to queue behind them. If this gets out, how will he save his face in the future!
Zhu Xin comforted him skillfully: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I find out. If he really cheated me, I will make him pay for it!"
-
After Gu Xingshi sent Zhu Xin away, he thought they would still make trouble, but until Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin finished shooting the commercial, Yan Luoyuan was quiet.
It was really surprising.
So Gu Xingshi didn't take this little episode to heart. As soon as
the commercial was finished, he took everyone to the airport.
When the car drove out of the studio, the sun had already set, but Gu Xingshi still saw Yan Luoyuan's fans waiting for him at the door.
Several fans were so tired that they sat on the ground, but they still held the light board and refused to let go.
He had no right to comment on the actions of these fans, but he felt a little heavy when he thought that their enthusiasm was let down by such a liar with a messy private life.
After returning to Dunhai City, they soon became busy.
With a new round of performances approaching, Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin's daily schedule was rehearsal, eating and sleeping. Although busy, it was very smooth.
Compared with them, Gu Xingshi's work was not so smooth.
First, the other party suddenly wanted to withdraw from several collaborations that were originally under discussion.
Then, there were problems with the collaboration on several song creations that had been agreed upon. Although they were resolved with Gu Xingshi's efforts, he did notice something was wrong.
But he did notice something was wrong.
After Yin Hefeng found out, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you offend anyone?"
"No." Gu Xingshi was puzzled. He had been very quiet recently, just watching the show quietly and not even commenting.
But when it came to offending people, he suddenly remembered the previous commercial.
Could it be...
Just then, he received a call from Liang Wenjun.
Liang Wenjun's first sentence was, "Xiao Gu, how did you offend President Ning?"
Gu Xingshi was very confused: "Who is President Ning? I don't know him."
Liang Wenjun was also stunned: "You don't know him, then why did I hear that he said you didn't know how to behave and wanted to teach you a lesson."
Gu Xingshi suddenly thought of something and asked the system: [Is Yan Luoyuan's sponsor surnamed Ning? ]
System: [Yes, he has a sponsor surnamed Ning. 】
The case has been solved.
It is highly likely that Yan Luoyuan and his gang were behind this.
Liang Wenjun told him that this Mr. Ning is the CEO of Xingmao Media and has great power in the industry. Correspondingly, he has a bad temper. If you offend him, you will be beaten to death.
If it were someone else, Liang Wenjun would definitely suggest that she organize a meeting to reconcile the two.
But Mr. Ning has a messy private life and especially likes good-looking boys. Liang Wenjun is afraid that if the reconciliation fails, what if this old pervert falls in love with Gu Xingshi?
Therefore, she could only remind Gu Xingshi implicitly to keep a low profile recently and just get through this period of limelight.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, he can't cover the world with one hand. He just wants to teach Gu Xingshi a lesson. She will mediate in the future. They will not always target Gu Xingshi for her sake. It's just that this period of time will be a little difficult.
Gu Xingshi thanked her calmly, but after hanging up the phone, his face suddenly turned cold.
The system was very perceptive and sent intelligence: [This Ning Zong is called Ning Tianyou. Xingmao Media was founded by his brother Ning Tianzuo. Ning Tianzuo is very talented and upright. Xingmao Media was built by him and his wife. At first, Ning Tianzuo also brought Ning Tianyou into the company. Unexpectedly, Ning Tianyou was not very capable, but he was very lustful and wanted to break the unspoken rules. After Ning Tianzuo found out, he drove him out. 】
【Later, Ning Tianyou burst into tears and swore that he would never do it again. Ning Tianyou softened his heart and let him return to the company, but only gave him a part-time job and had someone watch him. Ning Tianyou hated his brother so much that he tampered with Ning Tianzuo's brakes. Later, Ning Tianzuo's family had a car accident. Ning Tianzuo and his wife died on the spot, leaving behind only a six-year-old son named Ning Wenzhuo. 】
【After his brother and sister-in-law died, Ning Tianyou immediately found an excuse to take over Xingmao Media, under the pretext of helping his nephew manage the company. In fact, he secretly excluded dissidents and drove out the old team left by Ning Tianzuo and his wife. They also took Ning Wenzhuo abroad, and even bribed people to tempt him to fall, but fortunately the child was smart and escaped. 】
【Ning Wenzhuo has always suspected that his parents' death was related to Ning Tianyou. Although he has been abroad in recent years, he pretended to be a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun to paralyze Ning Tianyou, but in fact he has been investigating this matter...】
Gu Xingshi listened and thought silently in his heart.
When the system finished speaking, he already had a rough plan in his mind.
Endure?
Or bow to this kind of garbage?
He would not choose either.
However, Ning Tianyou has deep roots and it is not so easy to bring him down in a short time.
But his enemy is not only Ning Tianyou.
Thinking of this, he asked the system again: [System~ Last time I asked you to help me keep an eye on Yan Luoyuan, has he got any new news recently? ]
The system immediately became excited: [Host, I was just about to tell you! Yan Luoyuan is not willing to be lonely recently, and he organized a silver party tonight, the address is at...]
Gu Xingshi: [Very good. ]
He took out a new mobile phone and dialed: "Hello, is this 110? I want to report."
Tonight, he is the Chaoyang crowd.
