Chapter 142 - 142: 142: Still Want to Slander Rong Yan
Now, great, vivi is implicated too and having her integrity questioned.
Although he was angry, due to Shi Mufeng’s status, he didn’t dare to yell at Shi Mufeng. But, this incident had blown up so much that they were now stuck between a rock and a hard place. They could only think of a solution fast! Pacing anxiously, an idea suddenly struck him, “Mr. Shi, about that last video, did Rong Yan mention how it should be handled?”
Shi Mufeng, “She didn’t specify, only said she wouldn’t give it to the paparazzi, nor would she post it online.”
“That settles it!” Rong Weiwei’s agent grasped at this lifeline, clapping his hands with force, “That video must be a fake! If she really had that video in her possession, she wouldn’t have gone to you first to trick you into talking. She could’ve just published the video. Even if she couldn’t do it herself, she could ask the company to give it to the paparazzi… But she didn’t. That means the video is fake!”
He took a deep breath, finally feeling slightly relieved, “If it’s fake, there’s still a chance to salvage this…”
After calming down a bit, he quickly made a decision, “Mr. Shi, there are already many unfavorable comments about vivi online, we need to act fast to counterattack. We can’t let the public opinion continue to spiral. If this goes on, vivi’s reputation will be ruined.”
On the internet, influential figures had already started to mock collectively. If the studio didn’t think of something fast, getting rid of Rong Weiwei’s phony girl label after it was attached wouldn’t be easy.
Shi Mufeng, thinking of the oblivious Rong Weiwei and facing the current troublesome situation, pursed his lips and asked, “What do you plan to do?”
Rong Weiwei’s agent, having just thought of a solution, didn’t bother to beat around the bush and said directly, “Since the video Rong Yan has is fake, she definitely won’t dare to release it! We can spin a story around the contents of the video! For example, we can release news that what she showed you was a photo of vivi changing clothes. She used photos of vivi’s privacy to threaten you, demanding that you reveal the conversation from the live broadcast. Otherwise, she’d release the photos or give them to the paparazzi! Out of helplessness, you repeated what she wanted you to say. But you had no idea she secretly started the live broadcast, selectively edited your conversation, and manipulated public opinion…”
The tactic was both precise and ruthless, typical of a top agent in the entertainment industry; his actions were indeed extraordinary.
Shi Mufeng quickly pondered over the proposed plan, not wishing to let a scandal affect his public image, he said with a grave voice, “If necessary, contact HuanYu’s public relations department and resolve this matter as soon as possible!”
“Understood, Mr. Shi, don’t worry.” Full of pride and confidence, the agent was certain of turning the tide of public opinion. After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to contact familiar major media outlets.
As the prospective lady of HuanYu, Rong Weiwei had just won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress this year, with a bright future ahead.
Many media outlets were willing to do her a favor.
This kind of scandal, had it happened to other female celebrities, would have left them ostracized like a rat crossing the street, hounded by everyone. But considering the backing of the Rong Family and HuanYu, many major websites didn’t even bother to chase the sensational story by publishing news articles when the incident first broke out.
It wasn’t until Rong Weiwei Studio and HuanYu’s public relations department contacted them and issued statements that the media began to stir..
