Moreover, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about fans picking up the wrong person at the airport.
"Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Chifei nodded in agreement immediately.
Soon after, Jiang Chifei, an artist under Jiaxing Entertainment, posted a new update.
In his post, he first criticized the fans' irrational idol-chasing behavior, then angrily denounced the unscrupulous stalking and filming by paparazzi, and finally expressed his apology to Xiao He from afar.
His post attracted a lot of attention. Liu Rulan, who had been keeping an eye on things online, immediately notified Xiao He and asked him to reply with a like.
"They actually reacted like this?"
Xiao He found it rather strange.
In this whole farce, the most embarrassed people must have been Jiang Chifei and his group. However, Xiao He was quite surprised that they dared to stand up, admit the situation, and make a rational statement and apology as public opinion gradually fermented.
The main reason is that he has encountered too many idiots before. If it were Su Shengxi or Chen who accidentally posted the message, they might have already started making sarcastic remarks about him from afar, and then found a group of online trolls to stir up trouble for him in the comments section.
Jiang Chifei's relatively decent and kind attitude was something Xiao He hadn't encountered on the internet for a long time.
“His agent is Bao Xin. I know him. He is a smart man and wouldn’t do anything foolish. Although Jiang Chifei is a bit flamboyant, he actually listens to Bao Xin a lot.”
Liu Rulan had anticipated this.
After all, this time they were dealing with artists from Jiaxing Entertainment. Liu Rulan knew the situation and personalities of the people involved very well. She didn't even need to contact them privately to guess how they would respond.
Therefore, Liu Rulan was not flustered at all.
Xiao He then changed the subject: "So this Jiang Chifei is also an idol? I've discovered that Jiaxing Entertainment seems to really like cultivating artists who transition from idols."
The first was Su Shengxi, the second was Jiang Chifei; are they cultivating replacements?
“It’s them,” Liu Rulan emphasized.
"Ahem, yes, them, Jiaxing Entertainment."
“Because they have a fan base, it’s easier to monetize their traffic, and they are easier to cultivate than ordinary artists.” Liu Rulan answered calmly. “However, in recent years, there are very few idols who can turn into actors. After all, the idol training factories in China are no longer as glorious as they used to be. Jiang Chifei and others are just catching up with the last of this period.”
If it had been a few years earlier, there would have been a ton of idol dramas waiting for Jiang Chifei to film. Even if his acting was terrible, he could still get fans to buy his acting skills with just a casual performance.
But that's not possible now.
In today's film and television industry, simply relying on popularity is no longer a viable strategy.
"So Jiang Chifei is considered Su Shengxi's replacement?"
"Pretty much. He wasn't doing as well as Su Shengxi before, but now that Jiaxing Entertainment is giving him more resources, he's clearly in much better shape than before." Liu Rulan chuckled. "However, the aftereffects are obvious. He can't manage the latest batch of fans, and their fandom is really a bit crazy."
Recalling the scene, Xiao He rubbed his arms with lingering fear.
"I'd better make a statement to him first."
Xiao He liked Jiang Chifei's post, then sighed, "My fans are still the best."
Liu Rulan chuckled: "But this incident does tell us that it's time to expand your team."
She placed a stack of documents in front of Xiao He: "Xiao Chen's personal abilities are clearly no longer keeping up with your pace. From now on, the number of people following you on a daily basis will be expanded from one to three."
"As for the basic team for your usual activities and outings, I will expand it separately. You can take a look at the people who usually follow you and pick a few that you like."
