Chapter 164: The 164th day of being popular
When her finally faded from the netizen's view, this person suddenly pulled such a stunt, catching her off guard!
"Who could be so bored and have nothing better to do?"
Could it be the investor of the new drama, Mo Yougan?
It seemed unlikely. Their goals were aligned; only someone with idle time and resources would bother with promotion. So, this possibility could be ruled out first.
Then could it be Mother Yao who had just offered her an olive branch?
This possibility was also small. Firstly, the Yao family didn't have that much influence. Secondly, she had just blocked Mother Yao; why would she suddenly help her with publicity?
So, could it be that jerk, Lu Yanchen?
But she had already fallen out with Lu Yanchen, and there was no motivation for the Lu family to assist her.
While pondering, a "ding" sound suddenly rang in Yao Bianliang's mind, followed by the system's slow broadcast.
[Detected changes in the Host's current situation; generating a new mission.]
Yao Bianliang's expression slightly changed as she immediately sat up straight.
After waiting for so long, the system's new mission finally arrived. However, it came at the most inconvenient time when she was going through rough times.
[Host is requested to play the leading role in a film or TV show, causing the movie or TV show to receive a rating of less than four points on a certain website, flooded with negative reviews. Host's reputation will plummet, eventually leading to her becoming unpopular.]
[Mission rewards:
Participation Award: 300,000 (obtained by participating)
Completion Award: 100 billion (obtained upon completing the mission)]
"This mission is actually about reputation?" Yao Bianliang was momentarily stunned but soon understood.
Her three previous short dramas had their own strengths and weaknesses, but they all had one thing in commontheir reputation was excellent.
As an actress, she secured her place in the entertainment industry with her stellar reputation.
If she wanted to become unpopular, aside from damaging her reputation and breaking her perfect image in the public's eyes, it seemed there was no other way.
But that would make things even more difficult...
Yao Bianliang looked at the unanimous praise on the internet, feeling a bit conflicted.
After all this time, her reputation showed no sign of declining and was getting even better.
How can she even play along with this?
This system seems to have suddenly emerged to mess with her.
"Ding Dong."
The phone rang urgently, and Yao Bianliang casually answered the call. It was Zhou Fei's voice on the other end.
"Sister Liang, have you seen the recent hot posts online?" Zhou Fei asked cautiously, "I feel like the wind is blowing in a strange direction."
Yao Bianliang responded weakly, "Yes, I've seen them."
If Zhou Fei hadn't come to find her, she would have taken the initiative to seek him out.
The current public opinion was too positive; she needed the help of the marketing and public relations team to come up with a plan to bring her reputation down.
"What's wrong? Are you going to congratulate me on my sudden fame again?" Yao Bianliang's tone carried a hint of resentment. When she mentioned "sudden fame," there was a hint of gritted teeth.
Zhou Fei naturally sensed Yao Bianliang's gloomy mood, so he proceeded carefully, "It seems that Sister Liang already knew about this bad news. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Yao Bianliang replied, "What countermeasures do I have..."
Her words halted halfway, and she suddenly paused.
Wait, what did Zhou Fei just say?
If she had such an indifferent attitude, it could lead to irreversible consequences.
At first, Yao Bianliang didn't think much of it, but her eyes shone brighter after hearing Zhou Fei's words.
Yes, even if Lu Yanchen's plan doesn't work this time, what about the next time? The time after that?
She was bound to have a downfall eventually.
As long as she made even the slightest mistake, she would immediately face endless questioning and ridicule. This matter was not only beneficial in the present but also would have a lasting impact!
Thinking this way, Yao Bianliang's mood instantly improved.
She comforted Zhou Fei, "Hmm, of course, I understand the importance of public opinion. Just follow my instructions; I have a plan for this."
If you asked her what the plan was, that was, of course, about being cold.
Yao Bianliang was fully prepared for her reputation to crumble!
"... Alright, I'll go make arrangements then." Zhou Fei hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't say anything else, just agreeing.
Although Yao Bianliang said she had a plan, Zhou Fei still felt uneasy.
If they let things run their course or even fan the flames, wouldn't they just be allowing them to promote her?
"Feige, what did Sister Liang say?"
Seeing Zhou Fei end the call, the other employees immediately looked over.
Upon learning about the matter, they were all eager and ready, waiting for Yao Bianliang's command to charge forward immediately.
Then, they heard Zhou Fei speak with bitterness, "Sister Liang doesn't want us to take any action... she even wants us to fan the flames."
By the time Zhou Fei finished speaking, he looked so troubled that it seemed like he was about to lose his hair.
Everyone: "??"
After this statement, the group stood still in disbelief, finding it hard to comprehend.
Even if Sister Liang had confidence in her new drama, they couldn't be this ostentatious.
Initially, as long as the new drama's performance wasn't too bad, the audience and fans would support it.
But after this excessive promotion, they might be bombarded with countless taunts and ridicule if the new drama didn't become a massive hit.
By then, her reputation would crumble, and her image would collapse. How would she be able to make a comeback?
Zhou Fei added, facing everyone's questioning gaze, "Sister Liang also said she has a plan for this matter, and she wants us not to worry about it."
However, Zhou Fei couldn't understand what kind of plan Sister Liang had to deal with such a difficult situation.
Marketing and public relations are time-sensitive matters.
Once Lu Yanchen and his team had actively engaged for a few days and raised the expectations of most netizens for Yao Bianliang, even if they came up with other strategies later, it would be too late!
"Could it be that Sister Liang foresaw today's situation and made corresponding arrangements in advance?" someone couldn't help but speculate.
That seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
If Yao Bianliang had made arrangements in advance and had prepared countermeasures, there was no need to worry.
Zhou Fei sighed, "But Sister Liang doesn't seem to have done anything besides acting in her usual days."
As the group worriedly furrowed their brows, Xiao Pang, standing on the side, looked at the computer screen and suddenly said, "Feige, someone is looking for you."
Zhou Fei was taken aback, and he reluctantly returned to reality from his thoughts, turning to look at his computer.
Sure enough, there was an unread message on the WeChat interface, and in the contact list, it said "Feng Shiyuan."
[Feng Shiyuan has shared a video file with you]
[Feng Shiyuan: Feige, the criticism video targeting Yao Bianliang is ready. Take a look to see if there's anything that needs to be changed?]
