Regarding Lele's refusal to reshoot the material, Yu Ming Artist Company does have some problems, because they have signed a contract with the sponsor and are obligated to meet the sponsor's requirements. However, the matter has escalated to this point, which is obviously a bit excessive. After all, the program team tried to use negative news to hype up the program's ratings and indirectly turn Lele into a stepping stone.
Du Xi first called the sponsor of today's event and asked him to help arrange a simple press conference. The sponsor was a real estate company in Xiangnan, and the reason for attending the event was to cooperate with the launch of their real estate project.
After receiving the call, the sponsor said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Du Xi, I'm afraid today's event has changed. I just received a notice that you and Lele are not required to attend the opening ceremony. Of course, the prepaid fees will be forgotten, after all, we are the ones who breached the contract first."
Du Xi knew very well that Feichi Group or the "Study Hard" column team was behind this, but she still continued to ask: "Can you tell me the reason?"
The sponsor smiled bitterly and said, "Ms. Du, this is a big deal. As you know, we are a high-end residential community and need a positive image. We originally wanted to invite you and Lele because we saw that you two have strong appeal and can add to the connotation of the property. But now the Internet is flooded with negative information, and we are worried that it will damage the sales performance of the property."
Du Xi said: "I'm afraid this is not the real reason. For you, if you want to make the real estate ceremony more influential, the more controversial it is, the more effective it will be, and it will indirectly help you increase your fame."
The sponsor was slightly stunned and said, "Ms. Du Xi, I am also your fan, but I really can't do anything about this matter. I can only remind you that you and Lele have been blacklisted in the entire advertising circle of Xingzhou."
Du Xi was stunned, realizing that as long as he was in Xiangnan, no one would be willing to help hold a press conference. The network of the person behind the scenes was too powerful, and within one night, all the news about him was blocked.
In other words, now only the black hand has the opportunity to speak, and I can only bear it silently. It's like being in a boxing ring, with your limbs tied up, you can only let the opponent attack you, and you can't fight back.
Fang Zhicheng saw Du Xi hang up the phone with a bit of disappointment, and realized that the communication just now might not be smooth, so he asked, "What's the problem?"
Du Xi sighed and said, "The other party was too ruthless and has banned us. As long as we are in Shonan, we will not be able to use the media to speak out."
Fang Zhicheng touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "It's not a big problem. The Internet is so developed now. If you want to express your ideas, you don't need to use traditional media. How about this? You can shoot a video with your phone and upload it to a social platform, such as Weibo, and then I will arrange for it to be spread."
Chapter 1015: A Big Turning Point
In the office of the provincial party secretary, Secretary Tang sat on the sofa, Su Mo sat opposite, the atmosphere was good, and the two were chatting. While they were chatting happily, the phone on the desk rang. Secretary Tang waved his hand, smiled apologetically, walked to the desk, picked up the red phone, and listened. From beginning to end, Secretary Tang did not look at it, quietly listening to the conversation over there, his expression gradually became solemn, and finally said: "Continue to observe, and if necessary, you can intervene."
Su Mo took a sip of tea, his eyes fell on the pots of orchids on the windowsill, he took out a cigarette, took two leisurely puffs, and then put it out in the ashtray.
"Zhicheng, it seems that you have encountered some trouble." Secretary Tang sat back in his seat and said calmly.
Su Mo didn't show any expression, waved his hand and sighed: "You said my nephew is very stable, but he often makes trouble, and I can't do anything about him."
Secretary Tang smiled and said, "Since I invited him to visit Xiangnan, I have to help him make up for it even if he makes a mistake here. Besides, this matter has aroused my interest, so I need to learn more about it."
Su Mo said "Oh" and said with a relaxed look: "Secretary Tang, why would you bother with his small matter?"
Secretary Tang shook his head and said, "Nothing is trivial in the world. However, his personality is really similar to me when I was young. When I was young, I always liked to meddle in other people's affairs, so I got into trouble a lot. Think about it carefully, if young people don't have a fire in their hearts, what kind of blood will there be in Chinese society? Getting into trouble depends on the situation, whether it is unreasonable or reasonable."
Su Mo had also heard about Secretary Tang's deeds when he was young, especially his romantic nature. Fang Zhicheng was really a bit like him. He said, "It depends on the situation. If Zhicheng is really wrong, we can't protect him."
Secretary Tang waved his hand and smiled, "I have asked someone to investigate the matter. It has no direct connection with him. The Radio and Television Group wanted to take advantage of the situation to hype up the topic, but they never thought that it would be related to a friend of Zhicheng. The matter is still in its infancy. I have asked Xiaocheng to deal with it. I believe that if Murongfeng comes forward, it will be properly resolved. Didn't you mention to me last time that Yuming Media Group is interested in joining Xiangnan Radio and Television Media Group? As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. It depends on whether Zhicheng can use this incident to transform it into a resource that is beneficial to him."
Su Mo thought to himself that Secretary Tang really knew Fang Zhicheng well enough, and was even familiar with Yuming Media Group. Su Mo also recently learned that Fang Zhicheng had a close friend who founded a very influential cultural media company, which showed that Secretary Tang paid close attention to Zhicheng.
…
Zhang Xiang, the director of the "Study Well" program team, is reviewing the sample footage that has just been edited at the recording site in the editing room. Under his guidance, the post-production director made some changes to create a clip where Lele "acts like a big shot" on the spot. Once it is released, it will probably cause an uproar on the Internet.
If the program wants to increase its ratings, it must create topics. In the past few years, Zhang Xiang has gradually transformed from an assistant to a director. The key is that he is extremely good at using topics to hype the program, so he has also received high praise.
Zhang Xiang noticed that a few details were not smooth enough, so he asked the director to modify them. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was a call from the producer of the program.
In the pyramid system of Xiangnan Radio and Television Media, the highest leader is the station director, followed by the deputy station director and director of each channel, and then the channel column producer. Zhang Xiang's rank is below the producer, and he is the deputy team leader of the entire column group. Generally, the producer is responsible for negotiating external cooperation, such as column naming, column planning, etc., and Zhang Xiang is fully responsible for the rest of the work.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Zhang Xiang asked puzzledly.
"Hurry up and check the news online. There are a lot of negative news in the columns." Du Huanbin said unhappily.
After Du Huanbin hung up the phone, Zhang Xiang frowned in confusion, then searched for "study hard" on the web, and instantly found several news items.
Zhang Xiang was slightly startled, and searched for "child stars acting like big shots" again, but he didn't find the news that was released last night. Is this a ghost story? Just two hours ago, the news was very popular, but now it seems to have evaporated into thin air. There is only one answer: the public relations team of Yuming Artist Company went out and wiped the news off the Internet in an instant.
Zhang Xiang was a little bit incredulous. He first called his old classmate at Dortmund and asked, "How come the news I asked you to help me publish yesterday has disappeared without a trace?"
The old classmate smiled dryly and said, "Shoko, I just received a notice. You should pay attention to the latest news. This matter is from top to bottom. We don't know who gave the instructions. Anyway, I can't go up here."
Zhang Xiang tried his best to stay calm and said, "Okay, can you help me find out?"
The old classmate said helplessly: "If I can find the source, I will tell you, but this matter is probably unfathomable, so I suggest you take care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone with his old classmate, Zhang Xiang suddenly felt his temple throbbing. He carefully searched for Du Xi's information in his mind, thinking that Du Xi had never demonstrated such powerful media resources!
Zhang Xiang called Luan Yunlong and whispered, "Teacher Luan, something went wrong. Someone from Du Xi's side is helping. All the news has been taken offline."
Luan Yunlong sneered in a low voice: "Xiao Zhang, don't you have important information in your hands? Publish it quickly, it will be difficult for the other party to control you."
Zhang Xiang originally planned to put this edited video online, but now he felt scared instinctively. After all, Du Xi had shown unfathomable strength. If he really touched some big shot, not only would his job be in jeopardy, he would probably have no place to stand in this circle in the future.
Luan Yunlong saw that Zhang Xiang was hesitant and continued to encourage him, "Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly. As long as you complete the following work according to the plan, I will continue to increase your compensation."
Zhang Xiang was a little interested and asked, "How much?"
Luan Yunlong sneered in his heart, thinking that money really makes the world go round, and said, "Three hundred thousand!"
Zhang Xiang touched his chin and said, "Okay, then I'll go all out!"
People die for money, and birds die for food.
