Chapter 451: Not Taking Action
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The netizens were indeed very hostile towards Gu Xiao, Star Brilliance Entertainment, and the artists under Star Brilliance Entertainment. In fact, it was similar to the situation when the news of Ji Gao evading taxes was exposed.
However, this was only on the surface. At that time, Ji Gao’s matter had caused an uproar. Other than the water army at the beginning, the rest of the time, they were all true passers-by.
This time, although it looked like many people were cursing, most of them were actually paid posters. The rest were just passersby who had been led astray.
As long as they weren’t really scolded by the entire Internet, this matter was still very easy to resolve.
Of course, more importantly, Gu Xiao had already seen the few points that the netizens were scolding them for. Other than a few places that did not hurt, most of the rest were made up and were not worth mentioning.
So, why should she be angry at something that could be easily clarified?
When Jiang Meng and Wei Shu heard Gu Xiao’s explanation, they looked at each other and felt that Gu Xiao was right.
However, how many people could really not be angry? In any case, they could not do it.
Jiang Meng got up from the chair and grabbed half the space of Gu Xiao’s chair and sat down. She even leaned her head on Gu Xiao’s shoulder.
“Then, Xiaoxiao, what are your plans? Do you need to clarify anything?”
Wei Shu nodded as well. “That’s right, Xiaoxiao. If this continues for too long, I’m afraid it will ruin the popularity among the passersby on the Internet.”
Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were sincerely worried about Gu Xiao.
Looking at Gu Xiao’s calm and unhurried expression, the two of them wished they could just take action and chase her off to deal with this matter!
To say nothing of the fact that Gu Xiao was their friend, just the television dramas produced by Star Brilliance Entertainment was food for their spirits®. Even if it was just for the sake of the food for their spirits, they hoped to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Gu Xiao looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were urging her, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
“Then I’ll go out and make a call.”
Jiang Meng and Wei Shu nodded repeatedly. “Go quickly! Go quickly! We’ll wait for your good news.”
Gu Xiao stood up with her phone and smiled at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu. Then, she walked out of the dormitory and stopped on the balcony.
She took out her contact list and called Tian Xian.
The call was quickly picked up. “Hello? President Gu?”
Gu Xiao hummed softly and asked, “What are your plans for the Internet? I’ve taken a look, and you don’t seem to have done much yet.”
Upon hearing Gu Xiao mention this, Tian Xian exclaimed in understanding. Then, he explained the matter to Gu Xiao.
“The Consort and Peony Fall are currently being rerun by two television stations. I’ve taken a look at the news online, and they’re not based on concrete evidence. After suppressing the trending searches, I discussed with the people in charge of the two television stations and we plan to use this matter to provide another wave of popularity for The Consort and Peony Fall.”
Now, these two dramas were the ones that were criticized the most.
When he first saw so many comments online, Tian Xian was actually a little worried.
However, later on, he and the people from the television stations realized that these complaints had attracted the attention of some passers-by. They wanted to see if these two dramas were as bad as the Internet said.
Initially, he had already planned to resolve this matter directly. However, after learning from the television stations that the search rate for ‘The Consort’ and ‘Peony Fall’ had increased, he temporarily dispelled the idea of resolving this matter as soon as possible.
In particular, not only the two dramas ‘The Consort’ and ‘Peony Fall’, even some of the other Star Brilliance Entertainment dramas that were criticized had a certain number of viewers returning.
After this matter came out, the number of visits to their video platform increased exponentially. Some television dramas that had been released previously had also attracted some viewers again.
How could Tian Xian let go of such a good thing so easily? Of course, he had to make good use of the popularity this time!
After listening to Tian Xian’s explanation, Gu Xiao did not expect that this matter would actually bring such benefits to Star Brilliance Entertainment and their video platform.
She saw the scolding online. Although she felt that they were fabricated, she still thought that Star Brilliance Entertainment had been negatively affected.
However, from the looks of it, it seemed to be more beneficial for them to ignore this matter for the time being?
