After the two of them went out, a message suddenly came into Director Fang Zhigang's phone.
It was sent by Jiang Wanqing's agent, Sister Ji, and the content was exactly about the news that is currently on the hot search.
After glancing at the content of the message, Director Fang frowned deeply and looked at Cui Linyuan.
"Lin Yuan, Jiang Wanqing said that there's a big commotion in her fan group right now, with some very emotional fans clamoring for Li Yuan to pay the price.
“They said the staff had tried to appease the fans with kind words, but it was of no use.
Her agent meant that as long as Jiang Wanqing continued to play the role of the oiran, she would immediately cooperate in clarifying the rumor that Li Yuan pushed her down.
Even Jiang Wanqing herself will come forward to dissuade those extreme fans.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Linyuan slightly pulled the corners of his mouth.
"What a Jiang actress." His eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth in them. "She is threatening us!"
The man stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked at Niu Zhixiang sharply. "Producer Niu, please contact Jiang Wanqing's agent and tell her that the crew will add another oiran role for her. Tell her to wait. The screenwriter will notify her to come to the shoot after revising the script."
Facing Director Fang's disapproving look, Cui Linyuan explained:
"Director Fang, this is just a temporary solution. Since Jiang Wanqing insists on acting, we'll just pretend to oblige her.
But new characters require the screenwriter to modify the script, and the time can be long or short, and the control is in our hands.
Moreover, even if you do let her come to shoot one or two scenes later, when the film is finished and edited, you will have the final say on how you want to edit it."
After this explanation, Fang Zhigang understood.
The most important thing about crisis public relations is to control the direction of public opinion as soon as possible, and Jiang Wanqing must be stabilized first.
He has always been disdainful of Jiang Wanqing's personality and didn't want her to film his movie. In order to avoid falling out with Niu Zhixiang, Director Fang endured his anger for a while.
Now that this has happened, he thought about the new plan proposed by Actor Cui and felt it was feasible.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Director Fang nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Producer Niu, did you hear everything just now?" Cui Linyuan raised his eyes and turned to look at Niu Zhixiang with a scorching gaze. "You are a smart person, you should know what to do."
"Tell Jiang Wanqing that she doesn't need to speak out, just shut up. Let's stabilize public opinion first."
Niu Zhixiang nodded stiffly.
At this time, someone from the publicity department said awkwardly, "What if it can't be stabilized?"
Cui Linyuan curled his lips coldly: "Public opinion management is the core work of the publicity and promotion department."
"If you can't even handle a simple photo incident, then you might as well quit, disband right here, and go home and rest!"
Everyone in the crew knew that the investor behind this movie was the Cui family.
Now Actor Cui is in a bad mood, and the other colleagues in the publicity department have kept their mouths shut for self-preservation, like quails.
The publicity director immediately responded: "I, I'll arrange for the announcement right away."
So, after the trending search lasted for more than an hour, the official Weibo of "Feiran Youyu" that fans from all walks of life had been waiting for released an announcement.
The content of the statement is: The content published by the marketing account "Entertainment News World" is pure speculation and slander. Actor Li Yuan was humble and polite during the filming of the crew, respected his predecessors, and did not do anything inappropriate. Please do not believe in rumors and spread them. Thank you for your cooperation.
The content was very brief, but it clearly clarified everyone's suspicion that Li Yuan pushed Jiang Wanqing down.
Moreover, attentive netizens also discovered the highlight: there was not a single word about Jiang Wanqing in the crew's announcement.
[Wow, what does this crew announcement mean? Li Yuan is innocent, but why did Jiang Wanqing fall without saying a word?]
[Don't you understand this? The crew didn't mention it to give her face. The implication is that maybe she did it herself and wants to put the blame on Li Yuan.]
[That's right, the crew even issued a statement in support, so it definitely wasn't him who pushed her. Besides, Li Yuan is already the lead, so why would they need to push her?]
......
After the official announcement was made, online public opinion immediately changed direction.
The topic of discussion shifted to whether Jiang Wanqing fell on her own and deliberately found a marketing account to release false information.
The answer came soon.
There was a very capable netizen who dug out the equity relationship of the marketing account "Entertainment News World" in a roundabout way and discovered that the major shareholder was actually a subsidiary controlled by Panhua Entertainment.
Li Yuan's fans straightened their backs for a moment and refuted those slanderous remarks one by one.
[Wow, the truth is out! Jiang Wanqing is the top star of Panhua Entertainment. This is a Panhua conspiracy!]
[Tsk tsk, I can't believe Jiang Wanqing actually directed and acted in this scene herself. That slap in the face is so loud!]
[Who should apologize? "Entertainment News," you're breaking the law knowing it?]
[You who just clamored to ban Li Yuan, why are you silent now? Come out and embarrass yourself!]
After being confused for a while, Jiang Wanqing's fans began to fight back, but they were obviously lacking in confidence.
[Everyone, please don't be fooled. The marketing account's background does not represent the position of actress Jiang. She is innocent!]
[Wanqing is the victim. Li Yuan must be under the wing of some big boss. The power of capital is truly terrifying!]
It takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Why should Jiang Wanqing be blamed for Entertainment News? She is the victim!
......
The chaotic online war of words continues.
After another two hours of tit-for-tat, the trending searches became even more popular!
Because Cui Linyuan's studio rarely posted on Weibo.
