Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1013: Who Doesn’t Know How to Ride the Hype?
Tang Li took the tablet Yu Sui handed her, the official media’s Weibo content had already reached the top few of the topics list, among them the Capital Times post had the highest heat, with 37,000 likes and 2,490 comments.
"I told you, you acted so well, there’s no way you’d drag down the team!" Yu Sui browsed through the hot comments on Weibo, with a kind of ’my daughter has finally grown up’ relief: "As for those haters, I’m afraid they haven’t watched even a minute."
Meanwhile, Yang Ning posted a Weibo.
[Yang Ning V]: "Not married, not in love, don’t mention me. [hands pressed together]"
"Now she knows to clarify, where was she earlier." Yu Sui couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Tang Li handed the tablet back to Yu Sui.
—— Yang Ning may not have wanted to clarify, but after being livestreamed getting slammed by her boyfriend’s relatives online, if she didn’t come out and say something, netizens might soon mock her for ’throwing herself’ or ’creating hype’.
Yang Ning is not like Lai Yuaner, who grew up as a sheltered bud.
She reached the top purely through fighting her way up, making her naturally more sensitive to weighing pros and cons than ordinary artists.
Yang Ning’s studio soon released a statement.
After reading the statement, Yu Sui couldn’t help but complain: "This is a standard case of the thief calling to catch a thief, warning marketing accounts to delete related videos, and forbidding netizens from discussing topics related to ’romance’. However, her fans genuinely believe it was the opposing side who bought the hot search."
On the way, a reply from Yang Ning to a netizen was again pushed to the hot search.
[Yang Ning V] replied to @ [Love Ningning 500 Years]: "In this industry, without performance support, relying only on hyping romance won’t last long."
Yu Sui gave Tang Li a meaningful look: "I suspect she’s alluding to you."
"..." Tang Li.
Indeed, she’s subtly mocking her.
When the TV series version of "Original Sin" aired hotly on the star channel, Tang Li, who played ’Ying Xuaner’, received quite a bit of praise, but since she wasn’t the lead actress, after the show finished airing, few viewers remembered her real name.
What truly shot her to fame was the revelation of romance during the London trip.
Of course, the public wasn’t interested in an eighteenth-tier actress’s private life.
But she announced her romance just when the President visited the United Kingdom, and the mysterious identity of her partner made netizens link the two, especially the speculation of ’delegation entourage’, allowing Tang Li to dominate the hot search list for several days.
From then on, more people got to know the existence of Tang Li as an actress.
Regarding Yang Ning’s questioning in the WeChat group, Tang Li did not reply but used her authenticated Weibo account to like Yang Ning’s comment to a netizen.
This like was quickly screenshotted by netizens and posted online.
#Tang Li’s like# climbed to the sixth position on the hot search list within minutes.
Yu Sui was originally bouncing around in the comments section of Yang Ning’s Weibo with a side account, unexpectedly discovering that the ’house’ collapsed and thought Tang Li’s hand slipped unknowingly, watching the hot search rank climbing higher, immediately urged Tang Li beside her: "To death! You liked Yang Ning’s comment! Quick, cancel it!"
To her surprise, Tang Li just gave her a faint smile.
Yu Sui was stunned for two seconds, then quickly went to grab the cellphone: "You can still laugh now, hurry and cancel the like!"
Tang Li dodged her aggressive lunge, her expression calm and unhurried: "Didn’t Yang Ning say I love hyping up things, so why waste such a good chance to make it to hot search?"
Yu Sui was indignant.
——I often feel out of place with you guys because I am too kind!
On the highway back to the Capital.
Yang Ning was resting with her eyes closed, her agent Chen Guangxi finished a call and turned to inform her: "President Liu said your response was timely this time, there aren’t many negative voices on Weibo and Douban, as for President Meng, wait until I get his contact, you should personally call to apologize."
These rich young gentlemen’s tempers are the hardest to fathom, using them for romance hype, if they are unhappy online later, it would surely affect Yang Ning’s reputation.
Apologizing in advance for the online gossip to the other party, even if he has suspicions, out of a man’s pride, he wouldn’t argue much with a woman.
"If it weren’t for the livestream at Tan Palace, we could have turned a blind eye." Chen Guangxi sighed and then spoke again: "But this isn’t bad, it equates to being on hot search twice."
For artists, hot search means high popularity.
As long as the hot search keywords are positive, the more times you appear on hot search, the higher the commercial value of the artist.
Many luxury brands look for spokespeople based on an artist’s personal attention.
Since the romance is fake, there’s no talk of losing fans, the two hot searches only bring benefits to Yang Ning.
"Previously, Del hadn’t given a clear response, but just now, their PR person sent me a message wanting to have dinner with you tonight. I think when you return to the Capital, this cooperation can be finalized."
Del is a French fashion consumer brand and also one of the world’s top ten luxury brands.
Yang Ning is currently discussing a spokesperson deal for Del’s bag line.
Previously, Del only used European and American stars, this is the first time they’re looking for a spokesperson in S Country.
If she can secure Del’s bag spokesperson rights in S Country, it would affirm Yang Ning’s commercial value and further stabilize her status in the fashion circle!
You should know that in S Country, only a handful of stars can get top luxury brand endorsements.
"The influence of these two hot searches, Del’s PR in S Country surely saw it." Chen Guangxi leaned back in his seat, firmly believing this time Del’s endorsement was a sure thing: "There isn’t anyone more popular and younger than you, besides you, Del wouldn’t have a better choice."
Yang Ning opened her eyes, a smile was already budding at the corner of her lips.
Chen Guangxi suddenly switched topics: "Earlier in the ’Infinite Challenge’ WeChat group, you shouldn’t have been so impulsive."
"If anyone wants to screenshot and post it, then they can go ahead." Yang Ning leaned over to take a bottle of red wine from the car fridge, her tone still indifferent: "I’m a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry bullied by a newcomer, shouldn’t I have a bit of temper?"
"That’s true..." Chen Guangxi added: "Just didn’t expect the weekly drama that had terrible first air ratings could have a chance to rise unexpectedly."
"It’s merely the coincidence with the summer holiday period." Yang Ning absolutely did not believe that the President would watch a young idol drama, as for the kids liking it, it can’t be separated from the e-sports theme: "Once school starts, these little kids won’t have time to watch TV live, do you really think those official media posted Weibo praise because the drama is good?
Yang Ning scoffed: "It’s all about being politically correct, an eight-year-old kid said he liked it, and they’re rushing to praise it, just to show their own [political correctness]."
"Moreover, there are many dramas praised by official media, how many of them really became hits?"
Chen Guangxi took the wine cup Yang Ning handed him, just about to speak when his cell phone received a WeChat call.
Yang Ning took a small sip of red wine and noticed the change in Chen Guangxi’s expression after the call: "What’s wrong?"
"It’s Amy, Del’s PR head." Meeting Yang Ning’s questioning gaze, Chen Guangxi hesitated for a few seconds, knowing he couldn’t hide it, he explained honestly: "She canceled tonight’s dinner saying another spokesperson candidate has emerged."
"..." Yang Ning.
No need for her to ask who it was, Chen Guangxi said it: "That candidate is Tang Li."
Yang Ning: "..."
How could it possibly be Tang Li?
How could Del possibly fancy a newcomer?
"Feng Qi actively contacted the president of Del’s S Country headquarters." The originally assured endorsement now faced uncertainty, Chen Guangxi’s mood matched Yang Ning’s: "According to the information Amy revealed to me, Feng Qi likely only asked for a hundred thousand as the endorsement fee."
"So, Del plans to have an eighteenth-tier carry their bags on the top five magazine covers to save an endorsement fee?"
Yang Ning felt she heard an epic joke!
An eighteenth-tier minor without even a proper starring work, actually came to compete for the international top luxury brand endorsement with her!
Is it that I’m unusable or is Tang Li too ambitious?!
"Now, go ask Amy for me." Yang Ning suppressed her anger, trying to calm herself down first: "Tang Li has no works, no heat, is Del planning to sell bags at a farmers’ market appointing her as a spokesperson?"
Chen Guangxi sent the message.
After two minutes, they received a reply from Amy——
[Amy]: "President Kevin believes that Tang Li’s attention level is not lower than Yang Ning’s."
"How can their attention levels be the same?!" Chen Guangxi immediately sent a voice message back.
This time, Amy replied with a screenshot instead of text.
Upon seeing the screenshot, Yang Ning and Chen Guangxi: "......"
In the screenshot, it was clearly the real-time Weibo hot search list.
#Yang Ning Clarification# was second on the hot search.
As for the top hot search, it was #Tang Li Accidental Like#.
Having been in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, Yang Ning could now see clearly what happened?!
——She was just used by Tang Li to hitch a ride on her popularity!
