Chapter 385 Clarification Conference
In the Internet age, the main battle of public opinion is speed.
On the night when Li Mu was found, Arc Light released a clarification notice through the official blog. First, it denied the recent rumors on the Internet, and then stated that it had called the police and would strictly investigate those who created and spread rumors.
The most surprising thing is that at the end of this clarification notice, Arc Light also stated that an offline press conference will be held tomorrow. Meng Bai, the person involved in the recent "scandal incident", attended in person to explain the relevant situation and answer questions, and live broadcast the whole process.
This sudden move, not to mention that the enemies in the dark were caught off guard, even the netizens who have been eating melons recently were also confused.
It has been many years since a company in the entertainment industry held a press conference for negative public opinion.
Since the rise of online social platforms represented by Weibo, most things in the entertainment industry, whether good or bad, are basically carried out online.
No one expected that Arc Light Film and Television, a new company, would choose such an old-fashioned way.
But it's true that compared to a light "statement" on the screen, this offline press conference method undoubtedly makes people feel more trust.
What's more, the person involved came out in person.
In addition, the whole process was live broadcast, even if Arc Light had communicated with the media in advance, netizens and viewers thought they could see it.
Originally, because the National Day was approaching recently, the weekend had to be adjusted, and the workers went to work every day like serving a sentence. Suddenly, such a big joke broke out, just to help everyone pass the boring days before the holiday.
Therefore, although the next day was Friday, a working day, and the time of Arc Light's press conference was chosen at 9 am, the working time, the number of online viewers in the Weibo live broadcast room still exceeded 100,000.
The barrage filled the screen from the beginning, all of which were a group of "fishing parties" who were slacking off at work.
[It's time, it's time! Why hasn't it started yet? ]
[Fuck, are there so many people on the scene? If you don't know, you would think it was a new product launch. ]
[Garbage Meng Bai! Stay away from Chaoyue! Garbage Meng Bai! Stay away from Chaoyue! Garbage Meng Bai! Stay away from Chaoyue! Trash Meng Bai! Stay away from Chaoyue! Trash Meng Bai! Stay away from Chaoyue! 】
【The smart guy in front cursed at his idol's boss. Your boss knows about it. He really has to thank you. 】
【Yueye and the villagers should ignore the barrage of comments that are flooding the screen. They are all posted by the opponent to discredit. Sister Chaoyue has already issued a statement that the revelations on the Internet are all rumors. I am especially grateful to President Meng. Don't be fooled! 】
【……】
Compared with the actor circle, the fans of girl group idols like Yang Chaoyue are obviously more lively. In addition, this incident started from her, so a considerable number of people in the live broadcast room are fans of this girl.
The barrage was noisy, and the press conference was also extremely noisy.
These media received invitations from Arc Light last night, and some even rushed over from other places.
However, no one complained. It is rare for the circle to have such a hot event with large traffic. For the media, it is comparable to the Chinese New Year. What's more, Arclight also gave a travel fee, so there was no reason to refuse.
The offline site of the press conference was near Arclight, and they borrowed a spacious exhibition center from the park for temporary arrangement. Anyway, the company had all kinds of materials and equipment. And this was not a press conference for a new project, so it was okay to just make do with it.
Amid the noise, time passed by little by little. Just a few minutes before nine o'clock, a group of people walked in from outside the conference center.
Here they come!
Both the media at the scene and the netizens before the live broadcast said in their hearts at the same time, and then looked at the few people sitting in the center.
[Fuck, there are police here? Arclight really called the police! ]
[Archlight is so bold! It seems that they may really be victims this time. ]
[Forget it, the police here means it's a rumor? Arclight is such a big company, can't it have some connections in the local area? ]
[I said you are stupid and you don't listen, do you think this is your village? This is Beijing North, and it is such a hot event. How big a face does Arclight have to have to make the police in the capital listen to them. 】
【Is there any barrage boss who can tell me, which of these people in the camera is Meng Bai? 】
【You don't know anything and you are watching so lively, are you really here to eat melons? It's very simple, just find the youngest and most handsome one. 】
For the entertainment industry, most of the audience are still most concerned about the actors, singers or idols who are on the stage. Usually, they just chase dramas, watch movies, listen to songs and so on.
As for press conferences, evening ceremonies and the like, many people don't care.
Meng Bai has accepted some interviews before and has been to many award ceremonies. It's not that he has never shown up, but there are still many ordinary netizens and viewers who have never seen him.
It can even be said that if it weren't for this "scandal incident", many people may not even have heard of his name.
Fortunately, among the few people on the stage, only one was a young man at first glance, so it was very easy to recognize.
When the netizens who were eating melons actually saw Meng Bai in the live camera, they almost all cursed in their hearts.
Nima! This guy who looks like a young boy, you tell me he is actually a big shot in the film and television industry?
Most of the time, Meng Bai wears casual clothes. Occasionally, he changes into formal clothes when attending important occasions or ceremonies.
But today is different. Although he still looks like a simple T-shirt, jacket and casual trousers, he actually got up early in the morning and had his whole outfit tailored by professional costume designers and stylists.
This "carefully arranged sense of leisure" not only highlights his temperament, but also does not appear too serious, which makes people like him at first sight.
[How should I put it? If those revelations are true, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to understand. ]
[Fuck, I remember a friend I know, whose appearance is similar to Meng Bai. He is just an ordinary graduate student, but he still changes his girlfriend every month. ]
[See the revelations: The greasy boss has unspoken rules for the poor newcomer. See the real person: The domineering president and his idol, Little White Rabbit! ]
[MD sister, you are so good at description. I want to bring this setting to the group and find the masters to write a post. ]
[A bunch of idiots, your values follow your appearance, society is so dirty because of you! ]
[Yes, you are upright, you have a positive value. In real life, you don’t even know what kind of loser you are, but you start pretending on the Internet. ]
[……]
It has to be said that in this era of looking at faces, people with good looks are more likely to be liked.
This look designed by Meng Bai in the early stage was not wasted, at least it left a good first impression on the netizens who watched the live broadcast.
Of course, not everyone will like it.
Just like Li Qin, Li Yitong and others who were also watching the live broadcast at this time, they couldn’t help but secretly mutter in their hearts, this guy is usually lazy, but he comes out to pretend at this time.
Humph, hypocritical man!
In the barrage of the live broadcast room, netizens and viewers quarreled and played all kinds of memes, but at the offline press conference, the atmosphere was still very serious.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the press conference officially began. Twenty or thirty media reporters invited to the scene all aimed their cameras at the center.
The person in charge of the publicity and distribution department of Arc Light hosted the press conference. His job was simple. He just read the opening remarks from the manuscript and then followed the process.
At the beginning, the staff of Arc Light and Taiyang Chuanhe read their respective clarification statements. Compared with the ones posted online, the on-site version was more detailed.
In the statements of the two companies, various recent rumors were refuted one by one, and the murderers behind the creation and spread of rumors were condemned.
However, neither the media present nor the live audience were very interested in this part. Anyway, no one can tell whether it is true or false just by saying this, they are here to see the person concerned respond in person.
Perhaps knowing what everyone thinks, the two spokespersons read very quickly and it was over in ten minutes. Then, the host announced the next link and handed the microphone in his hand to Meng Bai.
Seeing this picture, everyone who was watching the press conference immediately became excited.
Finally, I can see the mysterious Mr. Meng of Arclight speaking.
Looking at the cameras aimed at him not far away, and the live broadcast room bullet screen displayed in real time on the big screen on the wall in the distance, Meng Bai smiled slightly and slowly said: "Hello everyone, I am the president and project producer of Arclight Film and Television, Meng Bai, and I am also the 'scumbag' that many people have been calling online recently."
As he spoke, it seemed as if an invisible momentum broke out. The refresh rate of the bullet screen in the live broadcast room instantly doubled, and it has completely covered the entire screen. If the blocking restriction is not turned on, no one can be seen at all.
Meng Bai didn't care about these, and continued: "I know that the time of all the netizens and viewers who are paying attention to the press conference is very precious, so I won't waste time and start directly from what everyone is most concerned about, that is, the relationship between me and the many contracted artists under the company."
Obviously, his words touched everyone's heart. A group of netizens who were watching the show immediately put down their own things, and some even ran to the toilet cubicle to watch the live broadcast attentively in order to avoid being disturbed by their leaders.
"Let's talk about Xiao Yang first, that is Yang Chaoyue, after all, the story started with her. Xiao Yang was indeed an employee of Arclight Films before, mainly responsible for the administrative work at the front desk..."
Meng Bai gave a detailed account of Yang Chaoyue's experience from coming to Jingbei to find a job, to joining Arclight, to being selected by the director for a guest appearance, to winning the special prize at the annual meeting, and choosing to switch to being an artist.
There are many details here, and the logic is smooth, which is obviously not something that can be made up casually.
[I was stunned! I thought Yang Chaoyue's luck in the show and the group debut was already outrageous, but I didn't expect that there was something even more outrageous behind the scenes! ]
[It is said that the "koi persona" is promoted by marketing accounts, but I didn't expect that Sister Chaoyue is really a "koi carp". ]
[No, I am the only one who pays attention to Arclight's annual meeting lottery, can it be played like this? ]
[I was already surprised when I heard 100,000 yuan, but I didn't expect the truth to be even more awesome than I thought! 】
【Mr. Meng, I graduated from Communication University of China with a major in directing and editing. I have two years of work experience in the film and television industry. Can I apply for Arclight? 】
【Fuck, are you all looking for jobs now? 】
【……】
No one expected that a clarification press conference would turn into a "BOSS direct recruitment".
There is no way. In less than a year, an amateur with no background has become the most popular girl group idol. This sounds too dreamy.
Even though everyone knows that Yang Chaoyue's success mainly depends on her looks and the right opportunities, people still can't help but yearn for it.
...
In a villa with a tycoon style in Dongcheng, northern Beijing.
On the large bed, three girls lay intricately together, watching the live broadcast of the Arclight press conference on the pad.
"Hey, Chaoyue, is this your boss?"
Wu Xuanyi, who had just returned to the team, looked at Meng Bai on the screen and said with a smile: "No wonder, it's me, I also like such a handsome boss."
"I told you, I don't like him!" Yang Chaoyue shouted and emphasized again, "I am grateful and respectful, okay!"
"Hehe, keep this to yourself." Fu Jing on the other side snorted: "For more than half a month, you have been talking about "boss" and "boss" every day, and I am tired of hearing it."
"That's because they have been asking me, so I have to answer!"
Yang Chaoyue looked at the distrustful eyes of the two friends, and said angrily: "Really, there is no way to reason with you."
Wu Xuanyi and Fu Jing looked at each other, and smiled at the same time as if they had succeeded in their prank.
But then, they were attracted by Meng Bai's experience about Yang Chaoyue. Compared with fans, they know more about this little friend around them, but there are still many things that they heard for the first time today.
Yang Chaoyue herself didn't care much, because she was actually very proud of her time in Arc Light. Even this paragraph of the manuscript was sent to her by Meng Bai last night, and she revised it herself.
With her chin supported by her palm, Yang Chaoyue looked at Meng Bai on the screen, silently cheering for her boss in her heart, hoping that he could get rid of these rumors as soon as possible.
I hope that all those who are hostile to the boss will be blown up!
...
At the press conference, Meng Bai finished talking about Yang Chaoyue's experience, and then went on to talk about the remaining girls.
Bai Lu's is relatively simple, which is a simple recruitment and signing. At the same time, he also admitted that he does prefer actors with this kind of appearance, which is a response to the gossip that has been circulating on the Internet.
Yang Chaoyue and Bai Lu, he is not afraid of the shadow of his body. But the remaining Li Qin, Li Yitong and Song Zhi, this introduction is more considered.
In fact, the content about these three people was determined after a long time of research by many staff members such as the Arc Light Publicity Department and the external public relations personnel.
The overall idea is, "Only talk about the process, not the results." Anyway, with the foreshadowing of Yang Chaoyue and Bai Lu, as long as there are no loopholes in this part, netizens will naturally fill in the blanks subconsciously.
As for the specific outcome of the relationship, it depends on the statements of their respective teams.
Meng Bai spoke slowly at first and then quickly, and it took him about ten minutes to explain all the situations. Then, he announced the start of the free question session.
"Hello, Mr. Meng, I noticed that the police are participating in today's press conference. Why is that?" asked a selected reporter.
The uniformed policeman who had been sitting aside for a long time took the microphone: "Hello everyone, I am from the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing North Public Security Bureau. We have received a report from Mr. Meng Bai before, involving the spread of rumors and defamation, and the case is currently under investigation. Because it is a topic that many netizens are concerned about recently, we would like to take this opportunity to explain the current situation. We will also issue a notice to inform the public of the specific information later."
Another reporter raised his hand to ask a question: "Mr. Meng, the clarification statement just opened said that this incident was deliberately slandered. Why do you say that, and what is the purpose of the other party doing this?"
"I say this because I have found relevant clues. You can pay attention to our Chaoyang police's case report later. As for the reason why they did this..."
Meng Bai smiled and said in a steady voice: "It's very simple, because I touched the black interest network of these people."
As soon as he said this, the whole room was in an uproar!
