A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 93 I have nothing left, why not rob someone?

"This matter originally had nothing to do with you, but you've been very popular lately, and you just happened to release a look that's very similar to Xu Qi'an's."

Huang Ming said, "Zhang Xincheng's company paid online trolls to promote you, stirring up public opinion and putting pressure on the production team and Wang Hedi."

"Most importantly, when this matter blows up, you'll be there to take the fall."

"Wang Hedi's fans, along with uninformed bystanders, will only attack you; they'll reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

"Did you see the third spot on the trending topics? It just suddenly appeared, only one place below you."

Gu Yun took a deep breath: "Aren't they afraid that after praising me so highly, I'll actually get the role?"

"Haha! They think you're not even a third-tier actress. The company has limited resources for you, and this role would never go to you, no matter who else offered it."

Huang Ming laughed in anger as he said this: "Gu Yun, they don't take you or us seriously at all!"

"Hehe~"

Gu Yun was disgusted.

The huge success of Jiuchongzi was a great opportunity for her to increase her exposure and gain popularity, but instead she was unfairly blamed for two terrible things!

His reputation has been damaged, his public image has been ruined, and he might even have to cancel the endorsements he just signed recently!

How could I not be angry?

But this is precisely the most common phenomenon in the entertainment industry!

If you lack resources, background, and status, then you'll have to accept it.

Sun Yizhou, who rose to fame for his role as Lu Ziqiao in "iPartment," has taken on the role in "General and I."

This drama.

Originally, he wanted to use this drama to change his image, get rid of the label of Lu Ziqiao, and take another step forward.

However, he had a conflict with Yang Ying over the noise issue at the hotel.

At that time, Yang Ying was already with Huang Xiaoming, and she had abundant resources and a strong background.

With Yang Ying's team stepping in, Sun Yizhou's later scenes were heavily cut, and the show's attempt to transform itself failed.

Later, they were targeted and couldn't get good film and television resources.

It wasn't until 2022, when Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming divorced, that Sun Yizhou's career began to take off at the age of 38.

Two films in 23 years, one of which, "Under the Light," was a collaboration with director Zhang Yimou!

He joined the cast of "Pegasus 2" in 24, and his career has been on the rise ever since!

If he hadn't been targeted by the capital behind Yang Ying, Sun Yizhou might have reached a top-tier position like his classmate Lei Jiayin!

"Can public opinion be suppressed?"

This was the first time Gu Yun had so desperately wanted to be a valuable asset!

He only had a little over 700,000 yuan in savings, which was far too little. In the face of capital, it was not even a grain of rice.

"I told President Deng that he would definitely have the company step in to help you suppress the public opinion."

Huang Ming said, "But Xiao Gu, I think even if this matter is suppressed now, you will be affected by public opinion for a long time."

"Moreover, Zhang Xincheng on the other side is a second-tier top star, almost a first-tier star, and his company is definitely more willing to invest."

'

"You're just a third-tier talent poised for explosive growth. General Deng has high hopes for you, but his investment in you will definitely be limited, understand?"

Gu Yun understood that Huang Ming was telling the truth.

An actor's status and potential determine how much investment capital will give him.

Deng Chao did have a very good impression of him, but no matter how good the impression was, there was simply too much of a difference in status between him and Zhang Xincheng!

Gu Yun stared at the Weibo trending topics list for a long time before suddenly asking, "Old Huang, do you know who's behind Wang Hedi's downfall?"

"Of course I know!"

Huang Ming stated confidently, "This kind of superficial work is just to fool fans and passersby. Anything inside the industry can be found out with a little effort."

After a pause, Huang Ming said, "Why are you asking this? You don't have any ideas about this drama, do you?"

"I did nothing, yet I was unfairly accused, and my plan to be promoted from a third-tier to a second-tier position has been completely disrupted!"

Gu Yun took a deep breath, his voice regaining its composure: "Since I've already been pinned on this mess, why not fight for it?"

Normally, in a top-tier male-centric drama, given Gu Yun's current status, he would never get a role.

But these are extraordinary times!

Zhang Xincheng wanted the male lead role in "Da Feng", and Wang Hedi was unwilling to give up the role just like that!

The two companies are competing, and their method of competition is to manipulate public opinion.

"Whoever is more suitable for this role should play it."

Zhang Xincheng is indeed more suited to period dramas than Wang Hedi.

If public opinion continues to develop in this direction, his chances of winning are greater, and he will be more likely to gain the approval of fans of the original work.

However, this is without including Gu Yun as an option.

If Gu Yun were included, in terms of character accuracy, Gu Yun would far surpass Zhang Xincheng.

The problem is that Gu Yun didn't catch the director's eye, nor did he catch the eye of the investors of [Da Feng], which means he's not an option.

In this way, even if he is approved by the fans of the original work, he will definitely not be chosen.

Therefore, if Gu Yun wants to win this role, the first step he needs to do is to catch the director's eye and become one of the options!

"I have some inside information."

After listening to Gu Yun's idea, Huang Ming's eyes flashed, and he said, "The matter between Wang Hedi and Zhang Xincheng has caused a big uproar, and the director is already getting impatient."

"Yesterday, Wang Hedi's agent had dinner with the director, and it didn't go very well."

"Gu Yun, if you really want to compete, we can give it a try!"

What are your thoughts?

Trying it won't hurt, and besides, Gu Yun has already paid the price.

"Deng Ke, the chief director of 【Da Feng】, and Zhao Qichen, the chief director of 【Qing Qing Ri Chang】, are both employees of Xinli Company, a subsidiary of Yuewen Group."

"The two co-directed 'My Heroic Husband' and have a very good relationship. Director Deng was also Director Zhao's mentor."

"Moreover, the producers of both 'Da Feng' and 'Qing Qing Ri Cheng' are Mr. Liu Wen-yang, a top producer at Shin Li."

"The three of them have a very good relationship."

Since Gu Yun is going to compete, he must have a reason!

If you don't have enough star power, then make up for it with connections.

You guys like to use your status to intimidate others, then I'll use back channels and connections. Let's all play dirty tricks and see who comes out on top!

"What do you mean by all this?"

Huang Ming didn't understand Gu Yun's thoughts: "Which of these three people do you recognize?"

Gu Yun shook his head: "I don't know him, but someone does."

"

"Who?"

"Wang Hailong, Director Wang!"

"oh!!!"

When Gu Yun mentioned Wang Hailong's name, Huang Ming immediately remembered that Gu Yun had told him about it!

A few months ago, when we first started filming "Let's Go Traveling", I asked Gu Yun for photos.

Director Wang Hailong saw the photos and asked Gu Yun why he took them. Gu Yun then told him about the interview for "Qingqing's Daily Life".

At the time, Wang Hailong said that he and Zhao Qichen were very good friends!

Huang Ming asked, "Are you going to use Director Zhao's connections?"

"We have no choice but to give it a try."

Gu Yun said.

"Okay, then you give it a try. I'll hire some online trolls to stir things up and make them fight even fiercer."

Huang Ming couldn't help with networking, but he was very familiar with manipulating public opinion and hiring online trolls.
