Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 246 The Coal Boss's Self-Deception?
The war of public opinion is all about timing!

Just as the publicity campaign for "Golden Typhoon" was gaining traction, the Jinyang Information Security Protection Center detected unusual online negative information about "Tiger Shadow King" Lin Xingzhuo...

Ding Ye, who had just signed with Golden Harvest in Hong Kong, returned to Beijing and convened a joint meeting with the heads of the artist management department, legal and contract department, and marketing and publicity department to discuss major public opinion issues.

Lin Xingzhuo, Director of Public Policy Research, attended the meeting via video conference.

The head of the marketing and promotion department made the suggestion.

Speed ​​is key!!

The first thing to do is to unify the narrative and, once the facts are basically clear, release the first official statement within the "golden time" of 24 hours to refute the rumors!

…………

The head of the artist management department stated that they have communicated with the fan club to conduct organized and disciplined positive comment control and anti-black reporting.

Also, we need to prevent those fans from vocational school graduates and factory workers from getting emotional and "stirring up trouble" everywhere.

…………

The number of active fans in Lin Xingzhuo's fan club "Xingshen" has exceeded 10,000.

This support group includes Haiqing, a "loyal believer of God".

Recently, two young and beautiful girls, named Lu Tiantian and Zhang Qige, have also joined the fray.

They are fascinated by Lin Xingzhuo rapper, are very active in the fan club, and even participate in its daily management...

In short, the Star God Organization is very active in the Chinese entertainment online space, which is a huge boost!!
…………

The head of the legal and contract department stated that they have begun to collect and notarize all online leaks, dissemination paths, and statements from key influential figures.

As evidence for any potential legal action in the future, a lawyer's letter was drafted.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo smoked two Double Happiness cigarettes from Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company. Seeing that the various departments were still discussing enthusiastically, he couldn't help but interrupt via video call:

"Why explain? Deny it? Send a lawyer's letter?"

The heads of each department fell silent.

You're asking a question you already know the answer to!
Of course it's to wipe your butt for that little thing in your crotch!

Xu Zhixia, the legal representative, said, "In essence, this matter involves our entry into the Tiger Group's coal capital and into the Hong Kong entertainment industry."

"Especially after the acquisition of Golden Harvest Cinemas, it triggered a backlash from the Hong Kong film industry..."

"Even if it's not Gold Typhoon, it could be the Heung family, The King of Pop, or TVB..."

“This is different from XCMG’s listing in the first half of the year. That time it was about sharing the spoils, this time it’s about going to eat the meat.”

"The Hong Kong entertainment market is only so big. If we take a bigger bite, other companies will take a smaller bite. It's only a matter of time before a conflict occurs."

Xu Zhixia, as expected of a highly educated legal talent, cleverly escalated this matter to the aftermath of Tiger Capital's acquisition of Golden Harvest Cinemas and its forceful entry into the Hong Kong entertainment circle's sphere of influence!
Ding Ye said, "This is crucial to whether we can make a breakthrough in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. We must win!"

Lin Xingzhu stubbed out his cigarette and took over the conversation, saying, "Yes! I suggest we don't explain! Let's just declare ourselves the winner!"

The heads of each department were stunned and started speaking up one after another:
"No explanation? Brother Zhuo, I think we need to clarify things. We've already arranged for someone to write a clarification article!"

"Yes, Brother Zhuo, everyone in our marketing and publicity department knows about it."

"Your two scenes with Li Nian and Li Bingbing are typical examples of media hype and CP pairings, which are for the publicity needs of the production teams of 'Dwelling Narrowness' and 'Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame'."

"He's not a scumbag at all. The rumors about him deceiving and playing with people's feelings, starting a relationship and then abandoning them, and even having an illegitimate child are completely unfounded and pure slander!"

"What's with declaring victory directly? This doesn't align with the logic of public relations; we need to get to the bottom of this!"

"From a legal perspective, we can file a false accusation and defamation lawsuit in Jinyang, which is within the jurisdiction of the province, and we can almost always win!!"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "If you try to clarify things and then publish a long, rambling explanation, netizens won't have the patience to read it, nor will they have the logical capacity to think about it. Besides, this kind of thing won't generate buzz, and platforms won't cooperate. No buzz, no traffic, it's the same as no explanation at all."

“Negative rumors and scandals come in new forms every day; it would be exhausting to explain them one by one.”

"Public administration logic? What year did you graduate from university? 98? It's the 21st century now!"

"As for going to court, that's even more ridiculous. These private prosecution cases are extremely lengthy, and the other party can keep appealing. By the time the case is finally over, it can take two or three years..."

Lin Xingzhuo's words were delivered in a relaxed tone, avoiding deliberate intonation and conveying emotions through natural fluctuations in intonation.

This reminded Ding Ye and Xu Zhixia of the captivating linguistic charm of Wang Zhiwen in the popular TV series "The Way of Heaven" from a couple of years ago...

Ding Ye said, "Xing Zhuo, tell me your counterattack plan."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "The core of non-manufacturing industries such as finance, entertainment, and media is truly the study of winning!!"

"We don't need to pay attention! No need to explain! Let's just cover this up with an even bigger win!"

"Our mission is to cross this swamp, not to fight every single crocodile!"

Although the crowd didn't understand, they were still greatly shocked by the Western Mahayana philosophy of winning, which was ten years ahead of the Chinese entertainment crisis public relations paradigm...

Lin Xingzhuo's scandals...

It started with a group of anonymous accounts spreading the message widely in various niche forums on Baidu Tieba, such as those focusing on specific interests, universities, or topics.

…………

Both the Hong Kong entertainment circle and major entertainment companies in China are watching the response of this coal-related artist, as well as the influence of the coal-related capital behind him in the public opinion arena.

As a result, in addition to the Weibo account of Tiger Shadow Star Culture, a clarification statement and a police case filing receipt were issued.

Lin Xingzhuo's own Sina Weibo account made no explanation whatsoever; instead, he released a new song on QQ Music in collaboration with Twins' Asa.

Love in the Buff!
This is ridiculous. Releasing a song to cover up a scandal?
Isn't this just stealing the bell while covering one's ears?

These coal mine owners are hilarious!

Next, Li Nian, who rose to fame quickly for her role as "Haizao" in the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness," was the first to share Lin Xingzhuo's new song and even commented on it.

"It sounds nice! But it's just too hard to wait for a boy to grow up..."
