Chapter 624: Chapter 624
In the midst of everyone’s arguing, a netizen who seemed to be in the know came forward and revealed some insider truths.
[To those friends who are saying Wen Ningning’s scandal has dragged down JY, I can only laugh. What do you mean by ’dragged down’? It’s clearly that JY isn’t willing to do PR for Wen Ningning!
Do you think other members of JY don’t have scandals or unflattering photos? All of them are covered up by Zhang Yingru! Because the material on Wen Ningning was leaked first, attracting the attention of many netizens, her unflattering photos are more expensive than those of the other members.
Journalists would charge a few thousand for one photo of other people, but the price for Wen Ningning’s photos was 10,000 yuan each. Zhang Yingru thought it was too expensive and was unwilling to buy these photos, which is why the journalists released them!]
[Tsk tsk, this news is explosive enough. As one of the more well-known girl groups in Huaxia, 10,000 yuan per photo isn’t that expensive, right?
Twenty photos would be 200,000, a hundred photos would be a million. I haven’t seen as many as a hundred unflattering photos of Wen Ningning online; at most, there might be twenty or thirty. They’re not even willing to spend two or three hundred thousand, what’s the use of having such a team?
Usually, when there’s no trouble, they just exploit the group members to run around doing shows to earn money, but when it comes to spending a little in times of trouble, they can’t do it. Their agents are impressive too. Does Tonghua Entertainment really not know about these things?]
[With Tonghua Entertainment being such a large company, it’s not as if they need to know every little detail. They have strict internal management for their agents, holding a meeting each month to discuss the development of their signed artists and to report to the company.
The company gives the agents a lot of freedom in terms of which stars to promote and how to do it.
Of course, when a star reaches the level of He Jinxia, that’s a different story. After all, she is one of the more well-known actors in the second tier and has even won an award recently. I suppose there’s a team analyzing her potential roles behind the scenes, and the company probably checks in regularly.]
He Jinxia saw this comment and silently scoffed to herself: she actually wasn’t as valued by the company as everyone imagined.
Just like the person who left this comment on the W blog said, Tonghua Entertainment is a big company, and the higher-ups don’t have the leisure to pay attention to the development of every artist under their banner.
To get noticed by the upper management, you’d at least have to reach the first-tier level. The occasional resources the company gave her were also because her contract was somewhat unique.
He Jinxia put her thoughts aside and continued reading; the following comments were all in support of Wen Ningning, saying that what JY did was too heartless.
Since these messages were highly uniform, she suspected they were the work of the Water Army.
After a while, seeing that the comments were all saying the same thing, He Jinxia refreshed the page again, planning to stop paying attention if she saw more of the same.
To her surprise, upon refreshing, she stumbled upon new comments – and they were all quite interesting.
[It’s funny, why is it JY’s fault for not buying Wen Ningning’s photos? Wen Ningning misbehaved, couldn’t sit tight, got snapped by paparazzi while clubbing. Even if it didn’t blow up this time, it would have eventually.
JY might cover for her once, but they can’t wipe her butt time and again. If she behaved well, this kind of thing wouldn’t happen. In my view, she got what she deserved!]
[I suspect many of the comments above were bought by Wen Ningning, paying the Water Army to do her bidding. Let’s not talk about how credible the supposed insider’s leak is, say it is true, did anyone think why the agents for the other members are willing to buy those photos, while Wen Ningning’s agent is not?
I guess the other members might have unflattering photos, but certainly not as many as Wen Ningning. Perhaps all together, they wouldn’t even amount to hers. So, it’s cost-effective to buy them. Besides, Wen Ningning was the first one to be exposed by the paparazzi; she’s already on their radar.
Following the rules of PR, the goal is to save the overall situation by sacrificing the minor interests. Even if JY was determined to protect Wen Ningning, the paparazzi might not let JY off the hook! From a PR standpoint, throwing Wen Ningning under the bus is both an effective and quick solution!] Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⸺fire.net
[Don’t whine about how JY is unethical and how the agents are unfair to their artists. Agents are not nannies to their artists; what can you do if an artist doesn’t behave and gets exposed?]
On the contrary, I think JY will have to counterattack Wen Ningning, as Wen Ningning’s scandal has caused the popularity of other JY members to drop!
He Jinxia couldn’t help but nod slightly, this kind of chaos was exactly what she wanted to see.
A smile could not help but trace her lips, the more chaos, the better.
Just as she was engrossed in the comments, Qiu Zhenze came out dressed in women’s clothing and makeup.
"Teacher He Jinxia, good morning."
He Jinxia looked over and said with gentle politeness, "Teacher Qiu Zhenze, good morning."
Although Qiu Zhenze was dressed in women’s clothing, the makeup on his face was not feminine at all, at most his skin was a bit whitened, and his facial features remained sharp.
Looking solely at his face and ignoring his attire, no one would think he was a woman.
Qiu Zhenze, hearing He Jinxia’s somewhat hoarse voice, couldn’t help but frown and asked with concern, "Teacher Jinxia, are you feeling all right?"
He Jinxia touched her throat, smiled, and said, "It’s just that my throat feels a little sore, but everything else is fine."
Qiu Zhenze nodded and said, "When I had a cold and my voice became hoarse, I used to eat some throat-soothing lozenges that provided great relief. I had my assistant bring several packs this time for filming, I will give you one later."
He Jinxia did not refuse, seeing that Qiu Zhenze’s gaze was pure and not approached with ulterior motives.
She had been observing people for so many years, and she was basically never wrong.
After returning to the hotel yesterday, Sister Xiao Hua came back with medicine, and with nothing to do, she gave her a rundown of the actors on the set, with much of it being about Qiu Zhenze.
According to Cheng Xiaohua, Qiu Zhenze was the kind of star that, outwardly, seemed abstinent, meticulous in conduct, and whose private life matched his public persona, possessing a strong "veteran cadre" style.
The reason Sister Xiao Hua knew him so well was because she used to be a die-hard fan of Qiu Zhenze...
Both leading actors were done with their makeup, and Director Liu quickly started filming. This time, the shooting setting had changed to a lively ancient street scene.
The filming scene was supposed to be yesterday’s green screen, where Yu Jing and Bai Ze, wanting to leave the lakeside, would need to jump into the lake together. The lake was an entrance, leading into a world created within the "Reincarnation Mirror."
As soon as He Jinxia confirmed she had a cold, she called Director Liu immediately to tell him she really caught a cold and it would be best not to get her body wet the next day. Therefore, Director Liu asked the scene manager to adjust the shooting schedule, postponing the water-jumping scene.
In the bustling ancient alley with taverns, pawnshops, teahouses, candy shops, and more, the constant flow of pedestrians was non-stop. However, it was strange that there were only women around, not a single man, like a "Country of Women."
Amidst the repeated shouting of the female street vendors setting up their stalls at the roadside, Yu Jing and Bai Ze made a spectacular entrance.
