…
On February 10, the entertainment pages of many media in Xiangjiang were flooded by Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen. The photos and news about their relationship were put on the headlines of many tabloids, accompanied by various bold headlines, which were particularly eye-catching.
There were dozens of photos posted on the Internet. It was said that a famous paparazzi had taken the photos of Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen at 11 pm on February 9th. At that time, Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen were intimate, and they were suspected to be in a relationship and living together.
This gossip immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Jiang Wei was a popular young man in Star Art Entertainment. It had only been a year since his debut, but he had already released his debut album and acted in a popular TV series. With his handsome appearance, he had a large number of fans.
Recently, he was the male lead of the blockbuster "Painted Skin", which was invested over 100 million by Star Art Entertainment and Huaguan Pictures. He was in the limelight and frequently appeared in the promotional activities of "Painted Skin".
The female lead of the scandal was the female lead of "Painted Skin", Wu Mengzhen. Wu Mengzhen debuted earlier than Jiang Wei. She was beautiful, charming, and bold. She was regarded as a goddess by many fans and was more popular than Jiang Wei.
When the two of them were filming "Painted Skin" together, there was a scandal, but because there was no evidence and both parties and their agencies denied it, it didn't cause much of a stir.
But this time, they were captured by the paparazzi, and the scandal had solid evidence. Coupled with the media adding fuel to the fire, it was quickly hyped up.
Both parties reacted quickly and immediately clarified on their respective blogs, saying that the two of them were only good friends. The so-called intimate photos were taken by the paparazzi using a fake position, and there was a third party present at the time. It was just a farewell after a gathering of friends.
Jiang Wei also angrily rebuked the paparazzi who secretly took the photos, reserving the right to sue for invasion of privacy.
The company that Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen had signed with also released a statement saying that the two of them were not in a relationship. As for the rumor that they were living together, it was even more ridiculous because Wu Mengzhen's assistant was also present, but she was ignored by the paparazzi.
The media refused to let it go, and the person involved denied it desperately. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the scandal!
"It's just a publicity stunt!"
Chen Wenqiang said disdainfully, "Who in the industry can't tell? Both sides are creating hype, and both Star Arts Entertainment and Hua Guan Pictures are throwing money into it. Otherwise, do they really think that the media is so bored and has no other news to catch? "
That night, Lu Chen and Chen Wenqiang were invited by Zhou Yi to attend a banquet to discuss the publicity and screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story". It could be considered a meeting between the two partners.
Zhou Yi was there in person, Nie Mingzhu was there as well, and there were also two senior executives of Jiayang Pictures.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's topic shifted to their opponent, Painted Skin. Naturally, they also talked about Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen's scandal.
Chen Wenqiang scoffed at this. "The premiere of Painted Skin is the day after tomorrow. They chose a good time."
As the strongest opponent of "A Chinese Ghost Story," Painted Skin was scheduled to premiere on February 12th and officially be released on February 14th. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy about the scandal between the male and female protagonists suddenly being exposed at this time!
In fact, it was nothing new for stars and artists to use scandals to hype up the movies or TV series they starred in. It could even be said to be an old trick. Most of the so-called scandals were manipulated by the companies that the stars signed with.
But because this method was simple, crude, effective, and low in cost, even if there were any negative effects, it could at least attract a lot of attention. Therefore, it was played over and over again.
Especially now that the publicity for "Painted Skin" was at its peak, it was normal for Star Arts Entertainment and Hua Guan Pictures to make such a move. It was nothing more than to dominate the public's attention and make "Painted Skin" a big hit when it was screened in Xiangjiang. Then, they could ensure their own advantages in the subsequent competition.
The business world was like a battlefield. Not to mention sensationalizing scandals, some artists and companies would do a lot of things in order to promote themselves. Chen Wenqiang had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he had seen it all.
Of course, because it was his opponent, he was definitely very unhappy.
"Why don't we also do some targeted publicity?"
Zhang Yifan, the general manager of Jia Yang Pictures, said as he looked at his boss, Zhou Yi.
As expected, Zhou Yi looked interested. "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yifan suddenly became a lot bolder. He said with confidence, "They can create scandals, but so can we. I think Mr. Lu Chen and Miss Nie are more valuable. Of course, we can be more subtle about it. There's no need …"
Zhang Yifan's solution was actually very simple. It was like fighting fire with fire. Let Lu Chen and Nie Mingzhu also create some scandals. With their relationship with Chen Fei 'er, they could definitely divert the public's attention in an instant and make their opponents suffer in silence.
In terms of fame and strength, how could Jiang Wei and Wu Mengzhen compare with Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er? Nie Mingzhu was also very popular on the Internet. It didn't take much effort to create scandals to achieve excellent results.
However, his suggestion was flatly rejected by Lu Chen. "There's no need. We don't need to follow in the footsteps of our opponents. The success or failure of a movie ultimately depends on its quality. I have confidence in 'A Chinese Ghost Story'!"
Of course, Lu Chen knew the benefits of creating scandals. It saved time and effort and produced quick results. However, he hated this kind of method from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that it involved Chen Fei 'er. Therefore, he didn't even consider it.
If Zhang Yifan wasn't Zhou Yi's man, Lu Chen would have fallen out with him — what kind of lousy idea was this!
Zhang Yifan couldn't help but look a little embarrassed after being rejected so bluntly by Lu Chen. However, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's right. We still need to rely on our strength. Let them do it. The one who laughs last will be the winner!"
Zhou Yi supported Lu Chen not only because Lu Chen was strong enough, but also because the girl sitting next to him — Nie Mingzhu — would never agree.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way to invite more friends to the premiere on the 18th."
The premiere of "The Painted Skin" was on the 12th and the official release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was on the 18th and the official release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was on the 21st.
Although they avoided a face-to-face confrontation on the same day, the competition between the two sides would not weaken because of this.
The day of the victory was also getting closer and closer!
