Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 821 - 823: Crisis Management

Devil’s Sea is a foreign work, casting in Huaxia has nothing to do with He Jinxia, and anyone who knows a bit of insider information knows He Jinxia was never initially on the casting list.

That day, such a big audition was held, many top actresses went, while He Jinxia was filming elsewhere!

Without even being selected for the audition, they directly confirmed He Jinxia, isn’t that suspicious?

There’s no secret within the entertainment circle, if He Jinxia communicated privately with Stanlanca, higher-ups at Tonghua Entertainment would know, but the problem is, when this news came out, many at Tonghua Entertainment were just as baffled!

The marketing accounts latched onto this point, and they believe it’s difficult for He Jinxia to provide a reasonable explanation.

If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, don’t blame them for throwing dirt on you~

Unable to clear the situation, the aim is this kind of suffocating effect.

[Shock, He Jinxia lands the lead role in Devil’s Sea 4: Misty Jungle, suspected hidden truth!]

[Is it an unknown deal or her talent being appreciated, we await and see!]

[Recounting the resources He Jinxia accessed since her transformation, whose support is she relying on?]

...

A swarm of sensationalist headlines comes rushing in, creating a sense that they’ll diss He Jinxia to the point of a complete online banishment.

Though seemingly aggressive, upon closer inspection, there’s weakness in their arguments. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The reason for the diss isn’t because her work is poor, or her character is flawed, or she made a major mistake, it’s just because her work resources are too good?

My goodness, does He Jinxia have explosive backing or did some deal occur, put forth evidence and make the point clear, anyone can throw baseless accusations.

In response, the Timekeepers are vigorously fighting back, even some rational bystanders can’t tolerate it, feeling they’re speaking nonsense, stepping in personally to speak for He Jinxia.

[Can’t understand, which of He Jinxia’s roles wasn’t earned through her own ability? By this logic, it’s Pang Hu’s fault her shows became hits?]

[Those that say He Jinxia has great resources, please tell, where are they?! First movie, acting as herself, first TV series, supporting role, second movie, niche art film lead, and there are three leads!

Fourth piece, lead in a niche TV series, then supporting role in a big movie, only now she finally stars as the major lead in a hit drama! So where are her great resources?

Our Jinxia has good judgment, the art film she picked won the Crystal Bear, blame Jinxia ╮(╯▽╰)╭]

[Exactly, she clearly made her way step by step with solid effort, none of these pieces were considered hits then, it was her performance that made them popular, yet now accuse Jinxia of under-the-table deals, absurd!]

[Sheng Yan publicly admitted she’s his junior, they have a bond as disciples, Sheng Yan is willing to support juniors, and yet criticized for this?

Perhaps you’re underestimating Sheng Yan’s status, at his level, if he doesn’t want to do something, no one can force him!]

[666 knew a wave of defenders would come, fine, fine, you say your idol has good judgment, moved step by step, then explain how she got Devil’s Sea?]

[Devil’s Sea 4 has already been exposed, back then He Jinxia didn’t even attend the audition, how did she get the lead role?

Please don’t tell me your idol’s effort, fitting image, and capability, sorry, there are plenty of top actresses in the entertainment circle better than your idol!]

[Interesting, playing word games, though doing nothing yet forced to prove not doing it? Where’s justice! Then if I accuse you of murder, please present evidence you didn’t commit murder to prove your innocence!

Anyone can utter such things!]

...

As the event’s heat ferments, it’s escalating online hopelessly.

Many silent bystanders, with one negative report after another on He Jinxia emerging, all harbor bad impressions, wondering, could she be involved in some PY deal?

Such massive slander thrown, any actress facing it would find her career cooling!

The crucial point is, there’s nothing to it!

Upon realizing the negative online trend, Tonghua Entertainment promptly initiated emergency PR, with He Jinxia’s agent Luo You immediately summoned to a meeting.

Zhang Ming sat up front, as the head agent, he’s present during company-approved celebrity crises.

He spoke gravely: "The urgent matter now is to get Devil’s Sea’s side to present a reason for inviting He Jinxia as the lead, as long as it’s reasonable, the online opinion can be curbed."

Another agent, with a sarcastic tone, commented: "What a shame, the company can’t step in, we have no record of He Jinxia attending the audition, frankly, even Tonghua Entertainment hasn’t figured out how He Jinxia suddenly became Devil’s Sea 4’s lead."

This agent is also seasoned in the company, managing multiple artists, one of whom is a second-tier star at its peak, urgently needing a major production to rise to first-tier.

Devil’s Sea 4 was the movie they favored, his artist even got an audition invite, hoping to leverage connections for the lead, didn’t expect Devil’s Sea 4 directly set He Jinxia as the lead.

Such a big production slipped away, naturally, the agent feels some imbalance.

In the meeting room, other agents exchanged glances, remaining silent.

Zhang Ming tapped the table, speaking in a low tone: "Now’s not the time to discuss this matter, we must be united externally, losing a major production isn’t regrettable, but losing a popular artist would be a substantial company loss."

Others showed slight change of expression, even the fault-finding agent couldn’t help but fall silent, dare not to exploit the topic further.

Before company interests, personal interests are petty.

If this matter isn’t properly resolved, the company might question the agents’ and PR department’s competence.

Zhang Ming turned to Luo You, who was glued to his phone since entering the meeting room, asking: "Luo You, you’re He Jinxia’s agent, I see this crisis isn’t sudden, but premeditated.

He Jinxia has been very popular since last year, when a star rises, they inevitably block other stars’ paths, that’s normal.

I’ve tallied He Jinxia’s last-year negative news, mostly few, those people likely guessed Jinxia would rise to first-tier this year, target this timing to strike, what’s your take?"
