Chapter 831: Chapter 830 Chapter 831: Chapter 830 But Xie Yurou had been in the idol and TV circles for several years, and she was no longer satisfied with being just a ‘queen of controversy.’
“Sister Zhao, I’ve now stepped one foot into the movie industry, let’s hold off on the hype for now. I don’t want to spend my whole life as a star of speculation. You understand better than I do that stars won’t stay popular for very long in the industry. I’m already 29, and every year there’s a whole batch of new faces debuting. We must expand our repertoire like Qiao Xiaren to maintain a long-term career in the entertainment industry,”
Xie Yurou pleaded earnestly with these words, but Sister Zhao didn’t take them to heart, finding them somewhat laughable instead.
After all, she was an agent, and her salary was deducted from Xie Yurou’s earnings. If Yurou didn’t stir up publicity, if no one talked about her, then there would be no job offers coming her way, and that would mean less money for herself.
She was getting old but could still manage young talents–what did Yurou’s decisions matter to her?
Thinking this, Sister Zhao still offered a few words of consolation, “Don’t worry, didn’t Qiao Xiaren get terribly maligned before? She managed to change many people’s opinions with just one role. You can definitely do it too. What you’re saying is correct, currently you’re in the midst of a career transition, so it’s better not to use these hype tactics for now. I’ll help you clarify things on Weibo in a bit.”
Xie Yurou was frustrated with Sister Zhao’s stubborn attitude and started to feel agitated.
If she continued to be obstinate, Yurou would eventually have to request a new agent from the company. This transition phase was critical and extremely important.
With this in mind, Xie Yurou couldn’t help but envy Qiao Xiaren’s agent once again.
Sometimes an agent plays a significant role in one’s career, which is evident from Su Yeliu and that reclusive superstar, proving he possessed high agent quality.
It was just a shame that this person had an odd personality and manner, the kind that could give someone goosebumps because of his effeminacy. If someone like Weini became her own agent, she might become even more popular and successful than Qiao Xiaren.
Of course, Sister Zhao was unaware of what Xie Yurou was thinking. Opening Weibo, she found Yurou’s latest post and the comments below, which were unbearably cringeworthy, filled with sarcastic remarks from passersby.
They say those who provoke first are the cheapest.
Had it not been for Xie Yurou’s ‘like,’ Qiao Xiaren would not have been brought up on Weibo again.
After days of turmoil, all linked to Qiao Xiaren, and it wasn’t for a good reason. Couldn’t these people just let her film in peace?
Seeing a comment that said Xie Yurou was deliberately dragging Qiao Xiaren into this to leech off her popularity, fitting the title of ‘queen of controversy’, had she paid Xiaren an appearance fee?
An appearance fee my ass!
Are even the passersby now siding with Qiao Xiaren?
Seeing the state of the battle, Sister Zhao thought it best to post a clarifying Weibo, claiming it was an accidental ‘like’ while she was using Xie Yurou’s account. But the netizens were clearly not fools; were such shallow explanations meant to fool their intelligence?
“There’s not so many slip-ups. If it’s really the agent controlling Yurou’s Weibo account, then it only goes to show that the agent’s intelligence is bottomless.”
“With all this scheming, it would be better to just focus on improving the acting. Agents should stop dragging down their own artists.”
“Don’t mention Xiaren again, she’s busy. Please give her a break.”
“I feel sorry for Yurou; this clarifying Weibo completely screams ‘idiotic.’ The team is a mess, just look at Qiao Xiaren’s agent, who has already sent a lawyer’s letter to the gossipmongers.”
Upon seeing this information in the comments, the netizens quickly switched their battlefield to Weini’s Weibo.
