Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Confrontation (3)
The agent across said, “Although that’s the case, it was ultimately Teacher Xia who started this incident. When it broke out, it also caused us quite some trouble.”
Xia Siyu ruthlessly exposed them, “What trouble did you have? So many fans came over, and the media were there too. Don’t tell me you had no idea beforehand.”
The agent was taken aback, and Qin Baizhou joined in to twist the knife, “Even though the incident originated from our side, pulling the hot search and trying to minimize the impact, it was only us doing that. Your company didn’t get involved at all. Moreover, I saw marketing accounts reposting things like ‘Bo Yan’s charm is irresistible to Xia Siyu,’ ‘From disgust to admiration, a high-and-mighty idol like Bo Yan is worth it,’ kinds of soft articles. Don’t tell me these marketing accounts are doing charity work, copying and reposting the same things in droves. And one of them even made it to the hot search.”
This was the talent agency marketing at work. Proper marketing, placing soft articles, pushing them onto the hot search, and then having fans control the comments and share them, increasing the buzz. These were all basic moves, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Sometimes, when both artists cooperated well, not only did the onlookers feel comfortable watching, but both sides’ fans were also harmonious, the heat was on, and everyone was happy.
Of course, there was also this kind of marketing that boosts one by stepping on another, secretly stepping on people to rise to the top.
Truth be told, it wasn’t the first time Xia Siyu had been used as a stepping stone in marketing. Li Yiru had risen to the top that way. Without being compared and stepped on, one wouldn’t be considered a top star, and that was the confidence Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou had. But if the other party took advantage and acted coy, especially in front of them, then they shouldn’t blame Qin Baizhou for tearing them down.
Don’t be fooled by Qin Baizhou’s constant smile and polite speech into thinking he’s soft. He had a reputation in the industry known as “the smiling tiger”!
Bo Yan remained calm throughout, but when he saw Qin Baizhou casually pick up a banana, peel it, and hand it to Xia Siyu’s mouth, and she didn’t move an inch, followed by taking a bite,
Do you know how ambiguous it is for a man to feed a woman a banana like that? Are you trying to make it erotic?
Moreover, after she took a bite, Qin Baizhou immediately took the banana back, “That’s enough, this thing is high in calories, one bite is good enough.”
Xia Siyu didn’t mind, and the key was, Qin Baizhou still said with a smile, “I won’t waste it.”
Although he found a reason for himself, he conveniently ate the rest of her banana!
The entire process was smooth and natural, and although no one else at the scene felt anything was off because artists sometimes have to eat very little to maintain their figure, and the rest is usually shared by the assistants and agents,
Bo Yan’s expression was still very gloomy.
Song Fengzhi, seeing that Bo Yan seemed unhappy, thought he was upset about the other agent feeding their artist, and handed him an orange, “Brother Yan, want an orange?”
Bo Yan took the orange and almost crushed it into orange juice.
“Let’s leave it at that,” he stood up, slamming the wrinkled orange onto the table, “I’m not interested in hyping things up either. Let’s both suppress it.” He also turned back to scold the agent, “The fan club, how many times have I told you to take control? If something goes wrong in the future, will you be the one paying for it?”
Before leaving, he also approached Qin Baizhou, “Oh, I forgot, this is for you. A gift Xia Siyu bought for you.”
Then he took off the Rolex watch from his wrist.
