Female Star’s Personal Publicist - C8
After the conversation ended, I called my friend. My friend is a WeChat official account. He specializes in divulging gossip about celebrities.
I told him about being beaten up over the phone. After he finished listening, he immediately said that he would help me expose this matter, and he would contact his other colleagues to smother Huang Lin and Mao Li as much as possible.
I thanked them, but my stomach was still filled with rage, as though I wouldn’t be able to vent my anger if I didn’t find someone to beat them up …
Two days later, I left the hospital, and just as I reached home, I picked up a call from Liu Yan. On the phone, she asked if my injuries were better, and she came to the capital to meet me.
I was a little surprised, because she was only my client, so there was no need to contact me when things were done.
But I couldn’t refuse her good intentions, so I told her to find me in a coffee shop close to home.
After we met, Liu Yan asked me what I wanted to do about this matter.
At that time, although I had the intention to take revenge, I feigned a relaxed smile and said, “It’s common for people in our line of work to get beaten up. What can I do? I can only concede my misfortune.”
But who knew that Liu Yan would say, “If you want revenge, I can help you. Before I entered the entertainment industry, I knew a few people.”
I think that’s right, Liu Yan used to work for the stage, so her friends shouldn’t be easy to mess with, so I want to ask her for help.
She agreed without hesitation, saying that she didn’t want my money, so she would treat it as thanking me for helping her last time.
I didn’t stand on ceremony with her. It was hard for an ordinary office worker like me to bring out a sum of money to hire a thug.
Then I moved on to her.
I asked her how she was getting along with the potential customers and whether they had spent a lot of money to support her.
She said that since she and the potential customer had just met, it wouldn’t be convenient for them to talk about this. Furthermore, the potential customer was an understanding person. What she was worried about now was the problem of the online review. In the past, although she was covered in black spots, she had always acted as a supporting role and did not have many scenes to play, so there were only a few people who scolded her.
This time, after squeezing out Mao Li, she would become the leading female lead. She would definitely attract the attention of many people in the audience. Furthermore, this was a typical brainless drama; no matter how good her acting was, she would still be scolded by others.
I advised her not to worry. The black spots she left behind in the past are already very difficult to wash clean. The only way to do that now is to slowly wait until the audience forgets about her black history.
She said she understood that, but that even if she spoke with her work, she would need a series of public opinion campaigns, and her agent simply didn’t have the ability to do so, so she wanted me to be her special adviser and help her clean up successfully for the next two years.
“What does the Special Adviser mean? Do you want me to join your agency?”
She shook her head and said, “No, that’s not what I meant. I just want to hand over to you the establishment and implementation of the cleaning program. “As long as you agree, I’ll give you 300,000 first, 300,000 after a year, and 400 thousand after 2 years, a total of 1 million. Also, I won’t contact your company, you don’t need to split the money with them, this 1 million is all yours.”
1 million? This is a very attractive number. If I had that much money, I could quit this job and go back home to buy a house. Thus, I didn’t think too much into it and immediately agreed.
Liu Yan took out a long prepared contract from her bag, asked me to sign it after reading it, then transferred 300 thousand to me through the bank on her phone.
When I received the bank’s balance text message, I still felt a little incredulous, saying that the entertainment industry’s money was easy to earn, it seemed to be true.
It take me a few minutes to calm my mind, and then I start to talk to her about my work
It was just that she had to be careful when choosing a script. She shouldn’t try to make a bad play out of it, but she shouldn’t think about getting popular all at once either. She was covered in black spots, and even if she did make a phenomenal TV show, it would be hard to escape her fate of being scolded.
I suggested that she play a few more supporting roles in a good play. Although the supporting roles weren’t too many, they still had to be pleasing. Furthermore, it was a test of her acting skills that would make people’s eyes light up.
Then, before each play is broadcast, I’ll contact the media and the release number to follow up, using some positive news to cover up the negative news. Just like the top star in a third-tier movie, she walked one step at a time and used her acting skills to win over the audience. Even if her netizens dug up her dark history, they would only feel sorry for her for doing such a shameful thing.
Liu Yan slightly disagrees with my suggestion. She followed the potential customer because she wanted to be the main character. If she doesn’t seize this opportunity, she might not have another chance in the future.
I said that if you want to be the main character of an online drama, then do it online. Now, many online dramas are performed directly in cooperation with video websites. The most important thing was that the online drama costs were low, and there were very few big brands. The audience also had very low requirements for it, so the people who scolded it were naturally few.
She was still unwilling and said that she would think it over carefully and discuss it with me when the time came for her to take on the role.
After that, we talked about the specific whitening plan and image positioning.
After our conversation, it was already very late. Before I left, I mentioned her manager. Originally, I didn’t care about this matter, but seeing how she trusted me so much, I couldn’t help but mention it. Her manager’s ability was lacking, moreover she bullied the weak and feared the strong, she did not know how to protect the artistes. If Liu Yan really wanted to advance, she would have to replace him.
Liu Yan smiled and said that she already knew about it, and had already started looking for a new agent. She even asked if I had any suitable ones.
I said that I did, but I wanted to see if they were interested and contact them when the time comes.
In fact, the agent I’m going to introduce her to is the friend who works for the public.
This friend’s name was Han Song (alias) and he appeared to be around 27 or 28 years old. He had some connections in the industry, but his connections were not from sources, but from the news.
That was to say, he was unable to rely on his own connections to help Liu Yan get some good resources, but was able to help her manage the export of all the negative news.
Whether it was WeChat, Weibo, or the entertainment reports of the various newspapers, they all had their brothers. Even the number one dog in China had a deep relationship with him.
Usually, celebrities looking for economic teams tended to favor those with rich film and television resources. However, Liu Yan’s situation was special, she currently had a financial backer, and compared to her movie resources, what she needed more was to reverse her image. If Han Song could be her manager, she could gradually rely on these information to wash the dust away.
