122 Being Slandered
As expected, just as the fans’ hearts ached for He Yu, a gossip and marketing account with many fans posted a message in the middle of the night. It said that the reason why a certain female celebrity left a certain production team was not because of her, but because a certain Heavenly King1 wanted to promote his little lover, so he squeezed her out of the production team.
Although this gossip marketing account did not name her, several keywords he gave matched He Yu’s identity. Coupled with He Yu’s post, many fans immediately had to make a connection.
Among the information about the little lover that the gossip marketing account had given, there was a key phrase, “saving her life”. Hence, Yu Han was also trending.
As an A-list celebrity on a small screen, He Yu’s fans were very powerful. They would attack wherever He Yu wanted. Hence, they first swarmed into Ji Jun’s account and criticized him.
Unfortunately, as one of the top celebrities, Ji Jun’s fans included everyone from the elderly, the middle-aged, and the young. Their combat strength was not to be trifled with, so they directly retorted these people.
He Yu’s fans couldn’t beat Ji Jun’s fans, so they could only pounce on the other party involved. Yu Han’s account, which only had a million fans, was slaughtered. Her small group of fans argued with reason, but they couldn’t beat He Yu’s crazy fans at all. They were almost depressed from the scolding.
At this moment, Yu Han was tidying up the house with her manager, He Meng, and her assistant. During the day, He Meng walked around the neighborhood and finally found a bed-and-breakfast that was suitable in all aspects. She booked a small courtyard that had just three rooms, enough for each of them.
When she returned to the set, she realized that Yu Han had relied on her own ability to get another third female lead role. He Meng was stunned for a moment before she said, “You’re making me, your manager, feel so useless.”
Yu Han comforted her. “Being my manager isn’t just about pulling resources for me. I might be defamed one day. I still need you to help me with public relations.”
As soon as she finished speaking, He Meng’s phone rang.
Starlight Entertainment had a public opinion department that was specially in charge of the company’s celebrities’ public opinion online. As the company’s priority celebrity, they noticed Yu Han’s account the moment something went wrong and they called He Meng.
After He Meng hung up, she looked at Yu Han with a complicated expression. “Are you a jinx?”
Yu Han, who was busy tidying up her clothes, looked up. “Am I defamed again?”
He Meng lowered her head and scrolled through her cell phone. Just as she opened her social media account, her latest cell phone was almost frozen by the endless new information. “He Yu was fired by the production team. She’s causing trouble there and hurting the innocent you.”
Yu Han took a look at the cause and effect and clicked her tongue. “I haven’t even dealt with her yet, and she dares to dig a hole for me?”
He Meng felt that something was wrong when she heard this. “Did the two of you have a conflict today?”
Yu Han then told her what happened during the day.
He Meng immediately jumped up when she heard that. Her chubby face puffed up like a big bun. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter?”
Yu Han was a little embarrassed. “I forgot about it.”
“Hmph, I’ll settle the score with you later.” He Meng glared at her. “I’ll contact Director Sun first and see how he wants to deal with this matter.”
Sun Li was also furious at this moment. He called Fan Bin directly. “What exactly do you guys want? Are you trying to use public opinion and fans to force me to do what you did in the television drama?!”
Fan Bin had just seen the news and had a headache. “I really didn’t expect her to do this.”
Television dramas and movies might look similar, but television dramas only needed popularity and traffic. Even if the ratings were not good, it could still let the investors earn money. However, movies were different. They required the box office earnings needed from the normal people’s tickets.
This sci-fi movie had an investment of 500 million yuan. The box office earnings would have to be at least 1.5 billion yuan to make a profit. How much box office earnings could the fans contribute? It would only be a few hundred million yuan at most.
Hence, He Yu’s move would not benefit her at all. It would only offend a large group of people.
Sun Li said directly, “Since she doesn’t want to give me face, I don’t have to give her face either.”
After he hung up, He Meng called.
Sun Li found it strange when he saw the cell phone number. He had worked with a Heavenly Queen2 under He Meng before, but that Heavenly Queen had already established her own company. He heard that He Meng was not leading any newcomers, so why was she calling him?
“Hello, Director Sun. I’m Yu Han’s manager, He Meng.”
