106 The Change In Direction Of The Wind
Jing Yan lowered his eyes and did not say anything. He seemed to be in deep thought.
Originally, he thought that the identity of siblings would be a hindrance, but he did not expect it to be so useful.
He put on a straight face and nodded, pretending to be deep. “From this point of view, I should indeed help you. What do you want me to do?”
He Miao heaved a sigh of relief. If it was not for the fact that she could not handle this matter herself, she would never have asked Jing Yan for help.
She was now being pushed to the forefront of the storm, and if she acted rashly, she would only become a laughingstock, which would also lead to a war for Xu Meng.
There were some things that she could not say, but it did not mean that others could not say it.
Also, the most suitable candidate was Jing Yan.
She looked at the man who was playing with the dog on the sofa and said lightly, “I’m sure you’re aware that the media wouldn’t be so free as to use an outsider like me to hype things up. He Wei is the only one who would benefit the most from this.”
“But the Internet Water Army last night was all on your side.” Jing Yan raised his eyes and pointed out the key to the problem.
He Miao nodded. “If I didn’t know how much money I had in my pocket, I’m afraid even I would have believed that those alt accounts were hired when I was out of my mind.”
Jing Yan laughed at her words. He sat up straight and lazily leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed. “Do you have any evidence?”
He Miao suddenly looked up at him. “Do we need any evidence? One is a non-profit short film that has always been leading in ratings, while the other is a commercial film that depends on box office earnings. As long as someone takes the lead and speaks up, won’t it be clear who is right and who is wrong?”
“You’re really impolite. That’s my sister.” Jing Yan commented casually.
He Miao, on the other hand, took his words to heart and her face darkened. “She was the one who started it. I can avoid her and live in peace with her, but I can’t just stand there and let others bully me.”
Overnight, the direction of the wind on the internet changed.
He Wei’s manager was still gloating over the fact that she had seized the opportunity and made a beautiful comeback.
That day, when he went to look for He Wei, he had taken the initiative to ask the Internet Water Army to criticize He Miao’s short drama. He Wei had only hesitated for a moment then nodded and agreed.
After all, the reputation of He Miao’s short series was growing day by day, and it was already a huge threat to the movie that was released at the same time.
Theater chains had already started to reduce the frequency of movies being released. This was He Wei’s first movie since she started filming. Naturally, it could not end with such a tragic ending. Otherwise, He Wei’s future as the Best Actress would be greatly obstructed.
Trembling, He Wei agreed to her manager’s actions. She witnessed with her own eyes how the fans online were incited by public opinion to attack He Miao, but she kept her mouth shut and acquiesced to this behavior, not standing up to speak up for He Miao.
As the incident developed, the movie’s ratings rose, and just as the manager had expected, the box office returned to normal, and the theaters increased the number of screenings.
The entire crew made a lot of money and the director was so happy that he could not close his mouth, hinting that He Wei had made a good move.
Everyone in the industry understood this trick, but no one was willing to offend He Wei for a young lady they would never have to deal with in the future. Anyone could see that He Wei would have a bright future in the entertainment industry.
However, no one had expected that the wind would change so quickly overnight.
The box office comparison of He Wei’s movie before and after this incident was circulating online, as well as the transfer records of money with He Wei’s manager posted by some fake reviewers.
When these pictures were put together, they pointed at He Wei and instantly caused a huge uproar on the internet.
When He Wei’s fans saw these pictures, they instantly felt that they had been deceived.
They had helped their goddess and argued with others for the whole night, but in the end, it was all a self-directed drama that their goddess had put on. They suddenly felt their faces hurt and went to He Wei’s account to question her, asking for an explanation.
He Wei turned on her phone and saw all the curses. She almost fainted from anger.
She quickly called her manager to ask what had happened, but she did not expect her manager, who had always been confident, to have no idea this time.
“Weiwei, wait a moment. I’ll contact the public relations team to help you handle this.” The manager hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.
These few screenshots directly brought He Wei into the ground. The gentle and pure image that she had always maintained was completely gone.
He Wei could not take this lying down. She closed her eyes and activated the koi system. ‘I can only rely on you. You must help me calm down my fans.’
