Meanwhile, in a villa near Orange Heart Films, Cheng Yi directed her staff to take the stage and steer public opinion toward He Jing. She wasn't trying to smear He Jing, but rather to have her online trolls praise her as much as possible.
As the saying goes, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes. When someone is praised to the point of being overhyped, it will cause others to feel disgusted. Sure enough, after two days of this, a large number of netizens turned against her and joined her camp.
She used this opportunity to heavily promote her new work, "Nine Deer," generating considerable buzz for the series and making it a hit even before its release.
This result satisfied Cheng Yi and the publicity team for "Nine Deer," as the unexpected surge in traffic was a welcome bonus.
At this moment, Cheng Yi leaned lazily against the sofa, trimming her nails, a cold laugh escaping her lips.
She knew that as long as He Jing was involved, the traffic would explode. He Jing was a natural focus, as if she was destined to have the female lead's halo.
This is not just to promote her new drama by putting down others, but also to retaliate against He Chen. It's time for He Jing to pay back the benefits he gained from her.
The assistant said, "Brother Feng said that once the hype has gone down to a certain point, we should stop while we're ahead, otherwise it'll be easy for people to see through our scheme."
Cheng Yi waved her hand and replied, "Mm."
She didn't intend to create any hype; she just wanted to establish herself as a campus goddess.
"Any news about the book 'Unforgettable'?"
"I heard that it's already in preparation and they're casting the male and female leads, but I haven't received any news from the 'Unforgettable' production team yet."
"Unforgettable" is a sweet campus romance novel. It has become widely popular due to its sweet plot, which makes people swoon. It is also because of this book that the author of "Unforgettable" has become very famous, just like He Chen. If she can successfully win the role of the female lead, she can wash away the shame brought by "Day and Night".
Suddenly, the assistant's phone rang. The assistant picked it up and exclaimed, "The 'Unforgettable' program has contacted an ordinary person, and it seems to be... the woman in the speech video!"
Cheng Yi's expression changed drastically: "How could this be?"
...
To be honest, He Jing didn't want to act. She went on Weibo just to see how far the online arguments had gone, but before she could even click on it, the trending topic disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye. Someone claiming to be a director asked her if she was interested in acting.
He Jing ignored him; there were plenty of scammers online, and her account might get hacked while they were chatting. But Wu Yu said, "Isn't this so-and-so? The one who directed 'The Scenery'?"
"The Scenery" is a recent hit comedy film that became a box office dark horse, bringing fame to the director as well.
He Jing clicked on the director's profile picture and saw that, hey, it really was him, and he even had a verified account.
Wu Yu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Could it be that Sister Qiuyu's wish is finally going to come true? Is Sister Jing finally going to debut? This looks like a big production."
Whether it's a big-budget or small-budget production, He Jing didn't know, so she left Weibo and didn't reply.
Her ambitions lie elsewhere.
Wu Yu immediately felt regretful: "Sister Jing, are you really not going to consider it? Look at Cheng Yi, his acting is so bad, yet he's become so popular."
"Never forget our original aspiration."
He Jing has plenty of money and isn't interested in the entertainment industry; she should apply to Professor Bei Jin for early graduation.
Wu Yu scratched his head and sighed, "That's why I say Sister Jing is no ordinary person."
This kind of determination is rare in the world, especially given how lucrative the entertainment industry is.
An hour later, the official announcement of the female lead for "Unforgettable Love" was made – Cheng Yi.
