Of course, not all the comments were apologetic. Occasionally, there were comments blaming the victim.
Bai Yun bit into the whole wheat bread as she browsed the comments.
Although the original Bai Yun was plagued with scandals, she still had a certain number of fans because of her pretty face. Though, it could not compare to He Xi and Ge Fei's.
Before the clarification, a few fans defended her at the risk of getting scolded. However, the formation was scattered and they were all fighting their own battles, so these fans were scolded badly.
Knowing full well that celebrities relied on their fans for a living, Bai Yun specially paid attention to those fans to let them know that she had been paying attention to them.
"Xiao Qing, remember to contact the president of the fan club after setting up the fan club. At the very least, we have to regulate the fans from the beginning to prevent them from doing anything extreme."
Originally, these were things that the manager should worry about. However, after the incident yesterday, other than questioning and a few words of concern, Yin Wei did not do anything else. It was obvious she had no intention of making plans for Bai Yun. Therefore, Bai Yun could only bring her assistant along and do it herself.
However, after seeing the hype today, she persistently called Bai Yun many times.
Bai Yun only picked up Yin Wei's call after she more or less settled her matters.
As if she hadn't expected the call to go through, the other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying, "Bai Yun."
"It's me, Sister Yin." Yin Wei became even angrier when she heard the leisure in Bai Yun's words. She questioned, "Have your wings hardened? Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with the company first?"
Discuss? Bai Yun sneered. In the past, the original owner of this body had reported almost everything to Yin Wei but the latter did not care at all. Once something went wrong, she would draw a line between her artiste and herself more clearly than anyone else. She would even publish a statement to diss said artiste to piggyback on the hype.
She wasn't the original Bai Yun. She wasn't stupid.
Bai Yun's tone was cold. "Sister Yin, so far, I haven't seen the company warn Ge Fei in response to the rumors spread by him."
This invoked some guilt in Yin Wei. She indeed had no intention to stop the situation from fermenting because the company needed buzz, and so did the artistes under her.
To her, Bai Yun was just a pawn that she could discard at any time. Though, Bai Yun could only blame herself for being disappointing.
At first, she really thought highly of Bai Yun. After all, it was her first movie in the industry. Before the company even sourced for a script for her, the production team that Chu Jiang was filming in already offered an olive branch.
Although it was only a supporting role, a newcomer like her would definitely be able to make a name for herself if she performed well in it. Especially since Bai Yun had one of the prettiest faces in the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, Bai Yun could not be helped up.
Chu Jiang's acting skills and production team couldn't help her, either. Never mind her wooden acting skills, it was already not bad if she could finish a line.
Yet, even though Bai Yun had lousy acting skills, poor professional competence and awful interpersonal relationships, good scripts were still presented to her one after another. For a time, Yin Wei and the higher-ups thought that Bai Yun had a backer.
However, the scripts that Bai Yun received gradually became increasingly worse, and the data was not promising. The company simply gave up on nurturing Bai Yun. Though, they felt that there was still some hype surrounding her, and this could create some value for their other artistes in the future.
Moreover, Bai Yun was also easy to manipulate. In the past, she didn't even dare to speak loudly and simply allowed the company to lean on her to suck away the last of her popularity. Unlike now, she was a tad scary and guilt-invoking through the phone.
Yin Wei stopped being overbearing. "It's just that the topic was still hot yesterday, and things were mostly clarified online. Considering our company is a small one, our response had to depend on the reaction of Ge Fei's management company. Now that Xinglan has made an announcement, I'll get public relations to handle it now."
Bai Yun tapped her fingers on the back of the phone a few times. Yin Wei softened her tone and probed, "Did someone pay to get you on the trending list?"
Bai Yun raised her eyebrows. She did have money now, but she wanted to spend it on something useful, so she didn't touch it at all. "Sister Yin, don't you know the number one spot on Weibo's trending list can't be purchased??"
She deliberately emphasized the word "you" with more sarcasm. "This hype has arisen from many sources. Though I'm not sure who Ge Fei has offended in the circle, shouldn't you know full well?"
