“If that’s the case, we won’t use this kind of marketing method in the future.” Hang Zhen cupped his chin in his hands and read the replies online.
“But Guo Miao is really popular. She’s a top student and a sports genius. Her acting skills are also good. I’m afraid many people are thinking about her.”
His manager was also looking at the current data on his phone.
Ever since they announced that they would be acting in Ning Zheng’s movie, Hang Zhen’s popularity had been high, but Guo Miao’s popularity was indeed rising every day, and there would be about seven or eight trending news about her every day.
!!
Of course, there were also people who questioned why Guo Miao’s school and family weren’t exposed, but these voices of doubt were drowned out by the screams and praises of the fans.
“Such an overwhelming marketing method will definitely backfire in the future.” The manager frowned. “Since the head office doesn’t want to promote the two of you, you should avoid arousing suspicion. When the movie’s promotional period is over, it’ll be easier to cut off all ties with her.”
Hang Zhen didn’t say anything. He just looked at the messages and bullet comments that were quickly scrolling on the screen and smiled. Guo Miao was quite interesting.
At this moment, Shen Lan was also watching the news.
“Guo Miao is really stupid. She’s buying so many trending headlines every day and isn’t afraid of being devoured.”
In the past few years, there were many celebrities who paid to gain popularity, but there were also many who failed when they were exposed. Not to mention, if Guo Miao’s trending headlines didn’t match her content, her image would collapse and she would definitely be chastised badly.
“Kang Yin, how’s your investigation going?”
Kang Yin was Shen Lan’s manager. She was also a famous marketing expert in the industry and had groomed countless artistes.
“I didn’t find anything, and I looked up Guo Miao’s media data. These trending headlines don’t seem to be bought but are real…
What?
Shen Lan frowned and turned to look at Kang Yin. “Seven to eight trending headlines a day and they go up on their own. How is that possible?”
“The mathematics competition committee and the shooting association have been posting on Weibo to Guo Miao.”
The two screenshots showed the two organizations claiming Guo Miao.
The post from the math competition read: [Our genius girl, remember to come back for the competition after filming!]
The shooting association posted: [After annihilating all the young people, will our sports genius consider becoming an official athlete?]
Shen Lan gripped the phone in her hand tightly. “Could it be that her identity is real?”
“I’m afraid so.” Kang Yin nodded. “We might not be able to win if it’s just a public opinion war.”
Shen Lan took in a deep breath. “I am determined to get this role. We should think of other content that can ruin her reputation.”
“Director Fang gave me some information before. It’s just a matter of whether we want to use it or not. We can use it to mess with both Ning Zheng and Guo Miao.” Kang Yin took out a document from her folder.
Opening the file, there were some photos of Guo Miao and Ning Zheng eating together, some of Guo Miao walking with Ning Zheng on the streets, and some of Ning Zheng’s private studio.
“What’s so special about these?” Shen Lan frowned as she could not see anything from these materials.
“You don’t understand. Ning Zheng’s poster has a lot of pedophile-related content, and Guo Miao is still a high school student. It’s impossible for a new female director to become popular.”
Kang Yin lowered her voice. “I’ll post the fake news on some forums and it’ll spread. I’ve also contacted a big fan of Hang Zhen’s. She has some intimate photos of Guo Miao and Hang Zhen on set. When the time comes, even if we can clear things up, Ning Zheng and Guo Miao’s reputations will be ruined.”
Shen Lan looked at the information and laughed coldly. “Good, that’s great. Send this information to Boss Feng Xu and he will naturally make a move.”
Everyone in the industry knew that Feng Xu and Ning Zheng had a falling out because of the withdrawal of funds. Feng Xu had been busy looking for negative news about Ning Zheng and Guo Miao. When the time came, he would definitely hit the nail on the head.
Shen Lan smiled as she pressed the send button. This time, there would be no one to fight with her for the role.
Guo Miao was returning home from the filming set when she felt that something was amiss.
When she was on the subway, two young girls rushed over and looked at her with bright eyes. “Are you Guo Miao?”
Guo Miao nodded and looked at the two of them in confusion.
“Mystical Miao, can you give us your signature?”
