Tao Tao couldn't help but think of the previous two pieces of "negative news" about Jiang Se. First, they released obvious false information with loopholes so big that fans could see through it at a glance, and then they released rumors that Xia Chaoqun and Jiang Se were not on good terms.
If Tao Tao guessed correctly, the news that Jiang Se snatched away Tao Cen's "role" in "A Glimmer of Hope" would first cause a stir among netizens, and then be clarified.
Being able to manipulate the direction of public opinion and mobilize media reporters seems to increase the audience's tolerance for Jiang Se's "negative news". Just like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", if there are more "black materials" in the future, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
In the entertainment industry, when Tao Tao thought of someone who could achieve this and control the reporters and media, the first person she thought of was Xia Chaoqun.
The reason why she did this was that Jiang Se had some new developments recently, or had offended someone
This thought flashed through Tao Tao's mind, but before she could catch it, the boss asked:
"What do you mean by that?"
Tao Tao calmed down and replied:
"As far as I know, Tao Cen did work with A Glimmer of Hope before, and she was indeed the actress Director Zhang first approached for the project."
Being in the same circle, Tao Tao also knew a little about these things:
"Huaxia News reporters also took photos of Tao Cen's audition. The reason why she was not cast in "A Glimmer of Hope" was probably due to schedule issues."
From the boss's breathing, Tao Tao could clearly tell that he was not impatient to listen to these words. It was obvious that he cared more about whether the news could attract the attention of netizens.
Tao Tao did not explain these unnecessary words and directly expressed his thoughts:
"So I infer that this news is fake. I won't tell you who released it for now," she paused for a moment, motioned for her colleagues in the office to go out and continue working, and explained to her boss:
"But Brother Xu, the fact that you and Shasha received this news at the same time proves that many of your peers in the country have already known the news."
"Then what?"
When the boss heard this, although his tone was still stiff, he softened his tone a lot when he heard that she was not just obsessed with chasing stars and ignoring her job:
"What do you think we should do? Give up this big news and watch others attract netizens?"
"At this time, instead of competing with a lot of peers for the same news, the only difference is the time point. I don't think it's novel or outstanding, and it's not easy to be remembered."
Tao Tao paused for a moment, giving the boss some time to digest what she had said. She continued until the boss urged her:
"It would be better to write an explanatory post that is different from such reports, which may cause a greater response."
The boss didn't say anything, Tao Tao continued to talk:
"By then, the overwhelming news in the country will be about the dispute over the 'roles' between Tao Cen and Jiang Se, and our Longxing Studio will be publishing an analysis post. That will be the truly unique 'headline news'."
Once Jiang Se releases evidence to clarify that the news is false, the reputation of Longxing Studio will naturally rise.
Her suggestion is indeed novel and good, "But the question is, how sure are you that you can prove that this news is fake?"
Tao Tao has been in the industry for several years. She has gone from being a trainee reporter who stuttered when interviewing celebrities to being an independent figure in Longxing Studio. In addition to luck and strength, her unique vision also contributed to this.
When the boss asked her questions, Tao Tao actually wanted to answer emotionally: Because Jiang Se is her idol, because she has paid attention to Jiang Se over the years, and because she trusts Jiang Se...
But what she finally said was:
"Because during that time, I happened to be tracking Tao Cen's whereabouts. The filming of "A Glimmer of Hope" started in early September, and Tao Cen happened to be in the crew of "Lost City" to complete the reshoot work." She explained:
"Before filming 'A Glimmer of Hope', Director Zhang Jing'an once said that the female lead in 'A Glimmer of Hope' would need to undergo a special training of about 100 days before filming began. Judging from the timing, Tao Cen was completely out of place, so Jiang Se had no reason to snatch the role."
Since the rumors of "stealing the role" are false, as usual, Jiang Se's team will naturally clarify and explain.
Once Longxing Studio’s statement is issued before Jiangse’s team’s explanation, won’t netizens’ attention come
The boss thought for a while. Perhaps it was because of Tao Tao's achievements in recent years and he still remembered the benefits she had brought to the company's development. In the end, he was persuaded by Tao Tao and gave the matter to Tao Tao.
Although she convinced the boss, Tao Tao was still stunned for a moment after hanging up the phone.
The live broadcast of the interview with Jiang Se on the computer has ended, and the camera has turned to other places. In the video, many fans are still gathered outside the Film Palace, cheering for their idols.
She recalled how she had argued for Jiang Se and got red in the face in front of her boss. She then thought of Jiang Se's smile in front of the camera after the French Film Festival and her calm explanation just now. She suddenly sighed deeply and opened the document to prepare for work.
As expected, that night, the news about Jiang Se competing for Tao Cen's "role" was released everywhere. It was a dispute between two top domestic actresses, and it had been rumored for a long time. Now that such gossip came out, the whole network was boiling.
When all major news media were reporting that Jiang Se had 'grabbed' the role of Tang Jing in "A Glimmer of Hope" from Tao Cen, when the "A Glimmer of Hope" crew members and both parties involved in the incident had not had time to come forward to explain, and when fans of Tao Cen and Jiang Se were waiting for an answer from all sides, the news from Long Xing Studio suddenly appeared when almost the entire network was covered by news headlines like "Jiang Se Grabs Tao Cen's Role", and was spread at an extremely fast speed by netizens who heard the news.
The news released by Longxing Studio included a detailed analysis of Tao Cen’s own work progress during the filming of "A Glimmer of Hope".
Tao Tao did not blindly explain for Jiang Se, but used substantial evidence at this time to convince netizens more.
She wrote at the end of the article: We don't know why director Zhang Jing'an chose Jiang Se, maybe the answer can be found in "A Glimmer of Hope". Whether the role of Jiang Se belongs to her depends on whether the "Tang Jing" she plays can bring us new excitement.
Shortly after Longxing Studio released the news, Jiang Se’s team issued another announcement. The content was almost the same as the news released by Longxing Studio, except that the data was much more detailed.
All major media outlets came out to explain at the same time, but were overshadowed by the news from Longxing Studio.
This time, Longxing Studio once again gained popularity, and Tao Tao's strategy was successful again.
Tao Tao smiled as her boss praised her, but she remembered that today was the time Jiang Se was scheduled to return home, and "A Glimmer of Hope" would have its premiere in three days, on the evening of the 29th.
The first thing Jiang Se did when he returned to China was to report his safety to the Pei family, Pei Yi, and Feng Zhongliang. He also wanted to invite Feng Zhongliang to accompany him to the premiere of "A Glimmer of Hope".
As this movie means a lot to her, Pei Yi had already prepared for her vacation and returned to the capital in a low-key manner. At this time, in addition to the support of her boyfriend, Jiang Se also hopes that the grandfather who saved her that year can also be with her.
But when she brought up the matter over the phone, Feng Zhongliang simply refused, saying that he had other plans and could not attend the premiere of "A Glimmer of Hope". (To be continued)
