So, who is the target of this fire?
It definitely can't be the Xinghan Awards. While the reputation of the four major awards—the Heaven, Earth, and Star Awards—has declined somewhat, it's not as bad as toilet paper yet; to criticize it publicly would be too outrageous. Nor can it be the other winner who beat Ye Chu—among this year's Best Actress nominees, all the actresses except Ye Chu are respected veterans with good public reputations. Does it sound good for a popular celebrity to bully a senior?
As the sage said: "He who bears the disgrace of the nation is called the master of the state; he who bears the misfortune of the nation is called the king of the world."
Mr. Ji has always practiced this principle throughout his entrepreneurial journey.
Qingping Entertainment readily took on this mess, and through the hype and guidance of professional big fans, successfully diverted the blame—or rather, the anger—to the company.
Getting scolded won't hurt him. But the effect is real: since the useless Qingping Entertainment refuses to work for Ye Chu, if Ye Chu doesn't win the award, it's all Qingping Entertainment's fault. Ye Chu is a little bitter gourd dragged down by the company. —This will definitely torment a wave of fans.
If Ye Chu wins the award, that would be even better! Ye Chu's talent has reached the point where he doesn't need any manipulation; he's single-handedly propelled this useless company to success—a paradise for fans of Ye Chu's talent!
Ji Juntao was nearly thirty years old, past the age of naively trusting anyone. Although he had put a lot of effort into bribing the Xinghan Award, he had also prepared a backup plan.
Although Shang Yechu's team was prone to tattling, their capabilities were top-tier within Qingping Entertainment, and they handled their work meticulously. From rave reviews after Yechu won an award to sob stories about her not winning, to professional fans guiding the fandom and maintaining stability, to a complete process of manipulating fans and combating online attacks… everything was arranged flawlessly, without a single detail missing. They had considered various scenarios and corresponding solutions.
Shang Yechu had been filming on the set of "The Heavenly Emperor" for some time now, almost completely isolated from the world, so she inevitably knew less about internet platforms and companies. This lack of granular understanding caused her quite a scare.
While she was feeling extremely uncomfortable in the meeting room, Ye Chu's team was also working hard at the company.
As it turned out, CEO Ji's decision was absolutely correct. The effects of the advance planning were immediate: after the announcement of the Best Actress award at the Xinghan Awards, most of the angry Ye Ya fans immediately rushed to Qingping Entertainment's official Weibo account, Ye Chu Studio's official Weibo account, and Ji Juntao's personal account, offering their condolences. A small number went to Ye Chu's Weibo to comfort her. Only a tiny group, unable to control themselves, stormed into Tao Xiang's comment section.
This amount of data is far from enough to generate public opinion.
After learning the whole story from his assistant, Shang Yechu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was also her fault for letting her concern cloud her judgment. In her previous life, she shared a management team with many others, and the quality was barely acceptable. In this life, Qingping Entertainment's public relations department was often criticized by Ji Juntao as useless. This led her to immediately equate Qingping Entertainment with the incompetent team from her previous life. Little did she expect that since she would grow, Qingping Entertainment couldn't remain stagnant forever.
Since Ye Ya didn't launch a large-scale online attack on Tao Xiang, the public outcry wouldn't be significant. Shang Ye Chu's heart, which had been pounding like a drum, finally settled back into her chest, and she was finally in the mood to have dinner with Zheng Bo Han and the others.
She was no longer alone.
