“Leave this to me. I’ll have someone contact them. You guys keep things stable for now. They’ve gone through all this; we certainly don’t want to be bullied like this.”
After calming Xiang Yun down, Jiang Ning told her to proceed with the original plan while she went to contact Chi Yue's team.
While Jiang Ning and Xiang Yun were working hard, Yan Keyi also opened her Weibo account.
Many people with a "chocolate brain" (a slang term for someone who enjoys chocolate) left comments on her Weibo account after learning about this, asking what exactly happened.
However, Yan Keyi and Jiang Ning were outside during the day, so they didn't notice.
It was precisely because they didn't respond that Chi Yue's team started to get angry.
Since the incident has already occurred, Yan Keyi still needs to appease her fans.
After Jiang Ning contacted Chi Yue's team through his connections, he immediately added them on WeChat. However, after waiting for quite a while, he still hadn't accepted her friend request.
Just as Jiang Ning was preparing to send someone to Chi Yue's company, they finally received a reply.
"Oh? Who's this? Could it be the manager of that guy who can't even get a role?"
Such provocative words from the outset undoubtedly confirm that this incident was orchestrated by them.
This news immediately ignited Jiang Ning's anger.
They haven't even done anything yet, and they're already acting so arrogantly?
Do you really think that having someone backing you means you'll be worry-free?
How exactly did they manage to get this role? Don't they have any idea?
"Are you sure you want to talk to me like that? I'm here to negotiate, not to listen to your boasting."
Instead of continuing their conversation, Jiang Ning directly stated his purpose.
Since Chi Yue's team dared to use Yan Keyi's success for marketing, they must have been prepared for this from the beginning, and naturally they wouldn't be defeated by Jiang Ning's few words.
Moreover, how could fans possibly know how their Chi Yue actually landed this role?
Yan Keyi became famous for her youth and excellent acting skills, so if they both stood out in the same audition, wouldn't that prove that Chi Yue's acting skills are superior?
Ordinary netizens would only think that way.
As for when the TV series is officially released, this matter will be long over. At that time, probably only Yan Keyi's fans will still remember this matter, and they will be the winners.
Jiang Ning clearly sensed this intention from Chi Yue's team.
But how did they know they didn't have any evidence?
"You had better remove those trending topics that are bad for our Yiyi, otherwise I can guarantee that if this matter blows up, you will not be the ones who benefit in the end."
When they heard Jiang Ning say that, Chi Yue's team was also stunned for a moment, fearing that Jiang Ning might have some kind of leverage against them.
But then I thought about it again. Chi Yue's affairs have always been kept very secret. Apart from the people around them, she has never been caught.
In addition, the big boss behind them is quite powerful. If anything happens, they will definitely send it to the big boss first before deciding whether to release the news.
Therefore, they were not actually afraid of the "threat" from Jiangning.
Jiang Ning originally didn't want to go too far, after all, Yan Keyi hadn't been in the trap for long, and she didn't want to make too many enemies for Yan Keyi.
Since they were completely uncooperative, Jiang Ning had no choice but to take the initiative.
[Ning: Regarding the recent false statements about our studio's artist Yan Keyi, I want to say that the innocent are innocent. She should know perfectly well how some people got those roles.]
Jiang Ning posted this Weibo post using his own account and tagged the official Weibo account of Yan Keyi's personal studio.
Upon seeing this news from Jiangning, the "chocolate heads" immediately found their pillar of support.
Judging from Jiang Ning's Weibo post, there must be more to this story.
They've been relentlessly mocked by Chi Yue's fans all day, and they're really upset.
They can accept that Yan Keyi isn't good enough and didn't land a role, but they really can't stand seeing the fans of the actor who did get the role jumping in their faces to mock them.
However, their behavior will inevitably damage their public image to some extent.
After all, Yan Keyi didn't say anything, but they kept making sarcastic remarks, so the bystanders had their own judgment.
[Go Yueyuezi!: Some people really need to stop jumping around, okay? A loss is a loss, why are you still being so stubborn?]
Right after Jiang Ning posted that Weibo message, his Weibo was flooded with comments from Chi Yue's fans. Some were supporting Chi Yue, while others were insulting Jiang Ning.
But in Jiangning, even though it's Chocolate Heads' home turf, they won't back down no matter how harsh the insults are.
Previously, they were passive because they couldn't initiate insults, but now that they're the ones doing it, they can't be blamed for their harsh words.
Many of Yan Keyi's current fans are those who stood by her when she first debuted, enduring criticism alongside her. Back then, they fought back against the negative publicity, and their fighting spirit was quite formidable.
Over time, public opinion regarding Jiang Ning's Weibo posts gradually turned around.
However, as casual observers, they would prefer to see Jiang Ning produce some more concrete evidence.
Seeing that things had gotten out of hand, Jiang Ning released a recording.
You can tell from the conversation that it's between the directors and main creators of "Flying Cloud Decision".
From their conversation, it's clear that they actually favored Yan Keyi, but in the end, the role went to Chi Yue, which is something to ponder.
Chi Yue's team was also surprised that Jiang Ning would have such a recording.
It must have been a conversation right after the audition ended, but none of them noticed that Jiang Ning was actually recording it.
However, Chi Yue's team directly stated that audio can be synthesized, and such a few words are insufficient to prove anything.
This argument is indeed reasonable, and public opinion is still shifting.
However, if Jiang Ning only had this one audio clip, she wouldn't have acted so directly. She would have used a more subtle approach to counter the negative publicity.
But she still has other cards to play.
Seeing that public opinion was constantly shifting, Jiang Ning has not made any further appearances.
Jiang Ning only presented the second piece of evidence after the topic of this matter had climbed to the top of the trending searches.
