That evening, Li Xiner and her agent were browsing Weibo.
They're waiting for the press releases they bought to generate buzz about Li Xin'er, the female lead of "Changfeng," working while ill and then fainting and being hospitalized.
As a result, before the news of Li Xin'er fainting and being hospitalized could even reach the top of the trending topics, Mu Weiwei's name appeared on the Weibo hot search list.
The tag "[Tang Sect Young Master Mu Weiwei]" has already reached fourth place on the trending searches.
When the two clicked in, they found that the media that visited the set yesterday had not reported a single word about Li Xiner working while ill and fainting and being hospitalized.
Moreover, all the reports were about Qi, the second female lead in "Changfeng," who rode a horse at breakneck speed on set to save a fan from danger.
The press release was accompanied by a video after its effusive praise.
In the video, Mu Weiwei, dressed in a black men's costume, spurred her horse and caught up with the fan who was trapped on the horse, successfully rescuing him.
In addition to reports from a few media outlets that visited the set, it also received strong promotion and praise from Fu Shiyi's many fans.
Some people even added background music to the video.
In the scene, a handsome young man in ancient costume rides his horse swiftly to rescue a modern girl who is trapped on horseback.
This incredibly immersive scene attracted many people to share it, earning her countless fans.
The press releases they bought themselves didn't make a ripple at all on Weibo.
After reading it through gritted teeth, Li Xin'er looked at her agent and asked.
"What's going on? Why is she everywhere?"
Even if we don't report on her as the female lead, there's at least the male lead, the Third Young Master. When will it be her turn as a supporting character?
The agent quickly said, "I'll call and ask the production team."
Logically, the production team's promotional focus should be on the male and female leads.
There was no coverage of the male and female leads, but a supporting character was reported first.
"I already told you to keep a close eye on Mu Weiwei and not let her have a chance to stand out. What have you been doing?" Li Xin'er questioned sharply.
"I've been at the hospital the whole time, and this afternoon I was contacting the company to prepare press releases. I haven't had time to think about the film crew," the agent said, sounding aggrieved.
If it weren't for her blunder and feigning fainting to end up in the hospital, the crew would have had to film on location instead of the actual location, and the scene of Mu Weiwei riding a horse to save someone wouldn't have happened.
Ultimately, it was she herself who put Mu Weiwei on the trending topics list.
Now, people are blaming her, the agent, for doing a bad job.
"Fine, let her be smug for a while," Li Xin'er said through gritted teeth, waving her hand.
The matter has already reached this point in terms of public attention, so asking the production team won't be of any use anymore.
Seeing her unwilling expression, the agent tentatively suggested something.
"Didn't you say you had dirt on her? How about... we release it to the media?"
She knew about the Li family and the Mu family, so she also knew how much she hated Mu Weiwei.
With Mu Weiwei's current popularity, her contract with Shiyi Culture, and her excellent appearance, her popularity will definitely continue to rise once the movie is released.
If we don't do something, I'm afraid that she, the supporting character, will become more glamorous than Li Xin'er, the main character.
"Such an important thing should be used at the right time. We can't touch her now." Li Xin'er's gentle face in public was now filled with gloom and calculation.
"The Long Wind" is her first film, and she cannot release the scandal of Mu Weiwei sleeping with Wang Weidong just to suppress Mu Weiwei.
If this affects the film's box office and the Golden Phoenix Awards selection at the end of the year, then it would be a huge loss.
