Chapter 500: How Dare You Steal Ms. Si l s Things? (1)
Undeniably, it was a tactic employed by many.
Brands and production teams also kept a keen eye on the online popularity and resources of these celebrities.
Though Si Fuqing and Lin Wansu tread completely different paths, their similar ages and status as newcomers often lead to comparisons. The flurry of press releases was not limited to a single marketing account.
Marketing accounts were well aware that Si Fuqing’s online presence was currently outshining Lin Wansu’s, positioning Si Fuqing’s name at the forefront.
Soon, the hashtag #SiFuqing,LinWansu climbed the entertainment charts.
[Idols relying on popularity can hardly match the caliber of film and television newcomers, can they? They’re simply not on the same level.]
[While Si Fuqing is venturing into acting, Lin Wansu has already spent a year in the industry, competing with seniors for magazine covers. Isn’t this just asking for trouble?]
[Taking away our precious Wansu, we don’t associate with anyone.]
[Marketing accounts deliberately stirring conflict should not deceive fans from both sides. A win-win is the true principle.]
[I’ll just laugh it off without comment. This kind of maneuver couldn’t possibly originate from Si Fuqing’s team. Lin Wansu’s tactic of disparaging others while attempting to emulate the grace and modesty of another is quite the play.]
Si Fuqing had moved far beyond the days of being universally criticized like during the “Youth With You” era.
Though the recording of “Survival 66 Days” had concluded, the edited episodes continued to air.
The fan base of Si Fuqing, meanwhile, grew steadily stronger.
[Apologies, but those trying to disparage Si Fuqing are all no longer found in the entertainment industry [smile].]
[Blaming marketing accounts for sowing discord? How convenient, as if dozens of accounts conspired together for this purpose.] [Better not speak too soon, lest you end up hurting yourself.]
“What do mean by defeated, truly lacking self-awareness,” Sang Yan commented with a cold laugh. “You’re unaware, but the other day at the film base, as I was picking up our artist, we passed by Lin Wansu’s crew. Director Xu directly asked Qingqing to teach her how to act.”
“To struggle with a simple ‘innocent and sweet’ role and still call oneself a rising star, I find that utterly embarrassing.”
“Are you really planning to push your artist into acting?” Tang Qiao, pushing up her glasses, expressed surprise. “Pursuing a purely fashion-centric path isn’t a bad idea either. Look at Qin Qiao, who only walks the red carpet and still ranks among the top stars.”
“You underestimate me,” Sang Yan replied, patting Si Fuqing on the shoulder. “This young lady is versatile and skilled in many areas. Of course, I aim for her to develop comprehensively.”
“Alright then,” Tang Qiao said, flipping through a file. “I’m too busy to deal with Fashion Lady, but let me tell you about our magazine’s next theme: the treasures of the Great Xia.”
Si Fuqing browsed through several pictures handed to her.
Continuing, Tang Qiao said, “Ancient treasures and modern figures, a dialogue spanning a thousand years. I’ve seen Miss Si’s advertisement for ‘East Moon,’ and she suits Xia dress and cheongsams perfectly.”
“That’s interesting,” Sang Yan remarked, surprised. “This theme is unique and hasn’t been covered by any magazine yet. How do you plan to shoot it?”
“Graceful Beauty” led the female fashion industry for so long for good reason.
“We have no issues with the photographer and makeup artist,” Tang Qiao said, frowning slightly. “It’s the antiques we’re trying to borrow from the Heaven Earth Alliance Museum. If we can’t secure them, we’ll have to settle for pieces from local museums.”
“The Heaven Earth Alliance Museum…” Sang Yan frowned. “It may be difficult to borrow from them, but if we can, it would certainly be a highlight.”
As technology advanced rapidly and the national style gained popularity, many universities introduced courses on traditional studies.
Especially notable was the involvement of high-ranking officials from the Heaven Earth Alliance at universities like Great Xia University, where their lectures, though free, were incredibly hard to secure tickets for.
“Planning to borrow antiques?” Si Fuqing inquired.
“Don’t worry about it; just focus on the photoshoot,” Tang Qiao assured her with a smile. “Come, let me show you around. We might have more collaborations in the future.”
“Alright, if there’s any difficulty, just let me know,” Si Fuqing offered.
Having spent two decades in the fashion industry, Tang Qiao took Si Fuqing’s offer as polite but felt genuinely pleased. “Sure, I’ll let you know if there’s any trouble.”
“Qiaoqiao, let’s have Qingqing wear a cheongsam for a few shots today,” Sang
Yan suggested. “Later, I’ll have the studio post on Weibo.”
“No problem,” Tang Qiao responded with an OK gesture, “I know exactly what you’re thinking about..”
