China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 680 It’s bad luck for you
After the breakthrough night, Meng Ziyi simply stayed in Gu Wei's room every night, feeling that he was getting addicted to it.

However, although she is addicted, her fighting ability is actually not strong, and she is just a small weed.

Gu Wei also has to control the amount of exercise he does every night. After all, as the leading actress, Meng Ziyi has a lot of scenes to play every day, and it would be bad if she indulges in pleasure and delays her work.

The filming in Dunhuang went very smoothly, and the main plot of this part of the TV series was all about sweet moments, especially the rivalry between the male and female protagonists.

Given Meng Ziyi's current condition, filming couldn't be easier.

It is true that "Eastern Palace" is a sad drama, but the sweet parts are also really sweet. The main theme is that the sweeter it is now, the more sad it will be in the future.

When filming this scene, even the crew started to support the male and female protagonists, Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi.

At noon, in the crew's lounge.

"I really envy Reba for being able to become this year's Golden Eagle Goddess. I saw her looks online, she's so beautiful!" Meng Ziyi looked envious as she scrolled through her phone.

"And she also won this year's Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress. When will I ever get such a prestigious award?"

“Winning the Best Actress award is not necessarily a good thing. Didn’t you see that people on the internet call her the ‘Water Queen’? Although she won the award, she lost popularity among the public, which is not worth the loss.

Zeng Jia made a bad move."

Gu Wei picked up the watermelon in the fruit box in front of him with a toothpick and spoke as he ate.

At the just-concluded [12th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival], Reba made a stunning appearance in a golden Golden Eagle Goddess costume, stunning many audiences.

It was originally a matter of increasing fame and popularity and making fans proud.

However, at the subsequent Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, she beat Yin Tao, Zeng Li and Sun Li to win the Golden Eagle Best Actress award, which caused huge controversy.

Winning an award is a good thing, but being unworthy of the position will definitely cause criticism, not to mention that Reba won the award with the performances of "Pretty Li Huizhen", "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", "My First Half of Life" and "Nothing Gold Can Stay".

The audience is not stupid. Everyone knows how fake Reba's Best Actress title is. Some netizens who don't like her started to abuse her online, and many passers-by also had a bad impression of her.

"You're right. Reba's reputation has not been very good recently. No one expected that the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress would become a black spot for her."

"At this year's Golden Eagle Awards, neither the Best Actor or Best Actress could convince the audience, not to mention Reba. Li Yifeng won with "Sparrow" over He Bing's "The Courtyard Lover", Zhang Jiayi's "White Deer Plain" and Zhang Yi's "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

I lost to Zhang Yi at last year's Magnolia Awards ceremony. Why did Li Yifeng win?

Of course, the drama I was nominated for, Eternal Love, was indeed difficult to win an award because it was a historical drama, but can Sparrow be compared with Love in the Courtyard, White Deer Plain, and Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky?

I can only say that Li Yifeng was lucky to meet a hot girl who was as hot as him, and attracted all her firepower to her."

"It's so strange, Brother Wei, why weren't you nominated for the Golden Eagle Award this year? Otherwise, based on popularity, it wouldn't be Li Yifeng who won the award~"

The Golden Eagle Award is the most commercialized award in the field of domestic entertainment TV dramas, and it attaches great importance to the popularity and popularity of the winners.

Gu Wei had won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor once before, thanks to the then popular TV series "Nirvana in Fire".

If he were nominated, he would not lose in the online voting.

“It’s normal that I wasn’t nominated this year.

Since the broadcast of "Eternal Love" at the beginning of last year, I have watched a total of two dramas, "You Are My Glory" and "Go Go Squid!".

Although these two dramas are extremely popular, and can be called the best dramas of 17 and 18 in terms of ratings and various broadcast results, they have one thing in common: they are destined not to be nominated for official awards."

Meng Ziyi thought about it and slapped his head.

"I see. Both dramas are related to e-sports, right?" She had played Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend in "You Are My Glory" and was very familiar with these two hit TV series.

Gu Wei nodded while eating watermelon.

"That's the relationship. You see, Reba was nominated for Audience's Favorite Actress because of the drama Pretty Li Huizhen that aired this year, not You Are My Glory.

Judging from the broadcast results and various ratings, "You Are My Glory" is much better than "Pretty Li Huizhen".

Yang Zi was also nominated for this year's "Audience Favorite Actress" award, but she won the award for "Ode to Joy", not "Go Go Squid!", nor "Ashes of Love", which was a huge hit this summer.

The reason I was not nominated this year is indeed because of the limited subject matter of my work, so I can’t blame others.”

Gu Wei has been busy with filming and company affairs in the past six months. He has not had the chance to meet Reba recently, and he has even forgotten about her winning the Golden Eagle Water Queen award.

The most important thing is that Reba is not an artist under Gu Wei’s company.

Although he is a major shareholder of Jiaxing Media, he does not interfere in its operations, and Zeng Jia will not report to him in advance what she wants to do.

If Reba was under his management, this kind of thing would never happen.

As the two were chatting, Gu Wei's cell phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was Reba calling. He knew what it was about.

Gu Wei stood up, walked a few steps outside and answered the phone.

".I was very happy to be the Golden Eagle Goddess and win the grand prize, but who could have thought that the public opinion would turn out like this.
To be honest, I didn't know I would win the Best Actress award. Mr. Zeng from the company vaguely mentioned it to me beforehand, but I didn't take it seriously. I only knew I had won the award when it was announced.

I was surprised then, but now I am shocked. If I had known this earlier, I would have rather not won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress."

Reba called and complained to Gu Wei in a wronged voice. It was obvious that the Golden Eagle Award had a significant impact on her.

".I read the news. The online public opinion is only temporary. It will be fine after the situation calms down.

But then again, your company's approach was indeed inappropriate, and Zeng Jia was a little too eager for quick success.

You don't have to worry too much. Just do what you should do and don't be affected by this matter.

Leave it to me later and I will help you deal with it."

Gu Wei first said a few words of comfort, then thought about it and took the matter over.

Reba is his, and he can't just watch her suffer any injustice.

"What can you do?"

Reba on the other end of the phone was a little skeptical. Influenced by public opinion in the past two days, she has been in a low mood. However, because of her work, she can only pretend to be calm in front of outsiders.

She finally had some free time today, so she called Gu Wei just to complain a few words and seek comfort.

"Of course I have a way!"

Gu Wei's words were full of confidence, which made Reba feel at ease. After she relaxed, she started to act coquettishly towards Gu Wei.

"I've been so busy lately. I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me?"

"What do you say?"

"Huh~ You definitely don't miss me!
I'm sorry I keep sending you messages every other day.
I really miss the days when we filmed You Are My Glory.

It would be nice if there wasn’t so much work and I could be with you every day,” Reba said in a coquettish voice.

"Okay. You are very popular now, so it is normal for you to be busy with work. You used to always wonder when you would become popular, but now that you are really popular, why are you complaining?"

"I don't care, I miss you and want to meet you"

Gu Wei thought for a while.

"Maybe after a while. There are many ceremonies around New Year's Day, so there will always be a chance for us to meet."

"Okay then~" Reba just said that. She also knew that Gu Wei was busy and she didn't have time either.

Ever since she became famous, her company has packed her work schedule full of worries that she will have free time.

It was indeed hard work, but she also made a lot of money. It was her own choice, so there was nothing to complain about.

The two chatted for a while before Reba reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Sister Ba, this is the lemonade you asked for." Assistant Lingling pushed the door open and handed Reba a bottle of water.

"Thank you~" Reba took it, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. She had just sent her assistant to buy her some water when she was about to make a phone call. Lingling looked at her artist's expression and was a little surprised. How could the sky clear up in a short while when she was so worried just now?

"Sister Ba, aren't you worried?"

Reba took a sip of lemonade, which tasted a little sour at first but mostly sweet, just like her current mood.

"There is nothing to worry about. It has already happened. Just solve the problem."

The assistant's eyes rolled.

“Is the company going to help us calm down public opinion?

But this kind of thing is not easy to deal with. It is not easy to make netizens shut up. They are all keyboard warriors and it is not easy to manipulate them."

"Don't worry, I have confidence!" Although she sounded confident, Reba actually had no idea how Gu Wei was going to help her.

But she has 100% confidence in Gu Wei.

It stands to reason that at times like this, the usual approach of companies in the industry is to handle the situation coldly, and wait for time for this wave of public opinion to pass, but this period of time can be long or short, possibly half a year, a year, or even two years.

If we ignore it completely, it will definitely have a huge impact on Reba's reputation.

Dunhuang.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei thought about it, called Yang Liwen who was far away in Beijing, explained some things to her, and then called Zeng Jia.

".Good afternoon, Mr. Gu. You rarely call me. Is there anything I can ask you for?"

In the office of Jiaxing Media, Zeng Jia was a little surprised when she received a call from Gu Wei. Except for the time when she first invested in the company, the other party seldom contacted her. Whenever there was something, it was Mr. Yang from Weiming Tianxia who communicated with her.

"I saw the .Reba incident on the Internet."

"So that's what happened. I didn't expect this to be the result. I wanted to give her an award to help her career move to the next level, but as you can see, I ended up making things worse.
You know, Reba is currently the most important artist in Jiaxing, and the company doesn’t want her to have any problems.”

What Zeng Jia said was true. Ever since Reba became famous, she has become a mobile money-printing machine for Jiaxing.

Even Da Mimi can’t compare to him in making money for Jiaxing.

Zeng Jia naturally cared about her very much.

This time, the Golden Eagle Goddess and Golden Eagle Best Actress awards were arranged by the company, which also shows how much Jiaxing values ​​Reba.

"I know that since the incident has happened, we have to find a way to resolve it. Otherwise, if we let the public opinion ferment, it will have a relatively large impact on Reba's career."

"What does Mr. Gu mean?"

"I have become the Water Queen and it is impossible to regret it, but there are ways to reduce netizens' attention to Reba.

This year's Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor Li Yifeng is not worthy of the title. Why are there so few netizens scolding him, and instead all the fire is focused on Reba?

Since he has taken the glory that does not match his own qualities, he must naturally bear the corresponding consequences.

It's his bad luck. I plan to push him out to attract public opinion from netizens.

Then spend money to control comments online and communicate with Weibo to remove the hot searches about Reba’s post-water treatment.

With two hands in place, this matter will soon be resolved."

"This is indeed a good idea, but Li Yifeng is the boss of Huanrui after all, and doing this will offend Huanrui."

"I heard that Li Yifeng's contract expires in 2019, and given his current fame and status, he will definitely not renew his contract.

Huanrui is also training a new top star to take over his position. Ren Jialun and Cheng Yi are the two artists currently being promoted there.

So even if they knew it was us who did it, Huanrui’s reaction wouldn’t be too big.

As for Li Yifeng, without Huanrui as his backer, his reaction doesn't matter. We can only say that it's his bad luck."

"I understand. Let's implement it specifically." Zeng Jia also thought that what Gu Wei said was the best solution at present.

"I have already explained everything to Yang Liwen. Wei Ming Tian Xia has a lot of experience in this kind of thing. You can just contact her directly and she will tell you what to do!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu. I'll thank you on behalf of Reba."

After a while, Zeng Jia hung up the phone and sat in the boss chair, tapping the table with his fingers.

"It's really domineering. Li Yifeng is a top star after all and is very popular now. You can do whatever you want to him.

Moreover, Gu Wei is an actor by profession, so it seems that he has more experience in online marketing than me who specializes in this field."

Within a few days, just as Gu Wei had planned, the hot searches on Weibo about Reba being the worst Golden Eagle Award winner disappeared, and the discussion about her on the Internet gradually died down. On the contrary, the discussion about Li Yifeng being the worst Golden Eagle Award winner became more and more intense.

Many netizens compared him with the previous TV King Gu Wei. The difference between "Nirvana in Fire" and "Sparrow" is obvious.

Some netizens also brought up other nominated actors and TV series, and felt that the gap between Li Yifeng and Zhang Jiayi, He Bing, Zhang Yi and others was too big, and that there must be some shady deal in his winning of the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

[I would like to call him the most watery Golden Eagle Award winner in history. Sparrow is a good story, but Li Yifeng acted like an idol drama, and the heroine is Zhou Dongyu. One has good looks but no acting skills, and the other has acting skills but no looks.]

[I never thought that Zhang Jiayi's "White Deer Plain" and He Bing's "Love in the Courtyard" would lose to "Sparrow". "Bai Jiaxuan" and "Sha Zhu" are such classic images. Moreover, teachers Zhang Jiayi, He Bing and Li Yifeng are not at the same level at all.]

[Just a joke, at the Magnolia Awards in June this year, Mr. He Bing won the Best Actor award for the second time for his role as "He Yuzhu" in "A Courtyard Full of Love", but he lost the Golden Eagle Award to Li Yifeng's "Sparrow".

I don’t even know what the character played by Li Yifeng is called in “Sparrow”.】

[The Golden Eagle Awards will be ruined if they continue like this. Gu Wei won the Best Actor award for Nirvana in Fire last year, which was well deserved and recognized by everyone. But this year, everyone knows how ridiculous this award is. The gap with the Magnolia Awards is getting bigger and bigger. Mango TV has ruined the Golden Eagle Awards by doing this! ]

[I don't get any of Li Yifeng's acting skills at all. I feel like he always looks the same no matter what role he plays. He has basically no changes. And he still won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor! ]

【.】

Public opinion gradually fermented, with more and more people discussing Li Yifeng on the Internet, and fewer and fewer people talking about Reba.

Gu Wei's method is correct. If we simply rely on controlling comments to suppress the popularity of Reba Water, it will be difficult and may not be effective.

Although the internet trolls of [Wei Ming Tian Xia] are professional and numerous enough, the number of netizens is immeasurable. They make up the majority, and it is too difficult to stop them from discussing something by brute force. Unless the government takes action, it is almost impossible to achieve.

However, netizens are also the most forgetful group. As soon as another hot topic emerges, they will quickly forget what they paid attention to before.

In the original time and space, Reba was deeply troubled by the Water Queen incident, which had a significant impact on her career in the two years after 18 years.

But Li Yifeng, who is also the TV King, seemed to have disappeared halfway. Everyone's attention was focused on the Water Queen Reba, and they ignored him, the Water King.

The result is that he is still unworthy of the reputation, but he is not affected at all.

"Sister Ba, this is the result of the company's action. There are no more hot searches about you, and fewer people are discussing you online. It feels like the matter has passed." In the nanny car, assistant Lingling said in surprise while scrolling through her phone.

"That should be the case. Mr. Zeng called me a few days ago and told me that the company would handle this matter."

Reba smiled.

Zeng Jia did call, but she just told her not to worry, that Mr. Gu had already started working on the problem and there would be results soon.

"We at Jiaxing are really good at marketing and public opinion," Lingling sighed.

'It's not Jiaxing who is great, it's you, Boss Gu, who is great
Sure enough, in the entertainment industry, having a backer and not having a backer are two completely different concepts.'

Thinking of this, Reba was thinking about when to visit Gu Wei. She heard that he was currently filming in the desert of Dunhuang. The conditions were quite difficult, and she didn't want to wait any longer.
In Beijing, everyone who has been working in the company these days naturally knows about Reba.

She was browsing the news of the past few days on her phone, then she thought for a moment and dialed a number.

"It's amazing, Boss Gu, you can turn the tide and help Reba suppress the incident in no time.
The movie "Baby" starring me will be released in a few days. Do you have time to come to the premiere?
I see. Well then, filming is important, but don’t forget to promote it on Weibo.

Let’s have dinner together next time we meet.”

After chatting for a while, Yang Mi hung up the phone. Unfortunately, Gu Wei was busy filming and couldn't make it back to attend the premiere.

But it doesn’t matter. She is very confident in this transformational work of hers. The box office may not be too high, but the word of mouth should be good.

After all, Yang Mi wants to be a performing artist!
