Ma Zhiyuan is promoting the products.
His live broadcast room is very popular.
Because there is an assistant who often explains some (unspoken) rules of the entertainment industry in the manner and tone of an "insider", reveals some gossips, and says some words that seem shocking and eye-catching.
Ma Zhiyuan would not say these words.
But, he was always there.
He also responded to these words.
These reactions are enough for the spectators to make various interpretations.
After all, Ma Zhiyuan was a real top star in the past.
Even though his public image has become so bad that he can no longer access first-line resources, the heat generated by his every move is still at the top level.
Things like this happening in his live broadcast room, and words like this leaking out, naturally attracted attention and sparked much discussion.
The topic of discussion about Lu Yanhe that evening also focused on how much of Lu Yanhe's growth and development was due to himself.
No one expected that Lu Yanhe's topic would cause such a huge controversy.
The controversy lies in the fact that a large number of people believe that even if it was Lu Yanhe, if he had not gotten a good start at the beginning, he would not have had the opportunity to display his talents later.
However, another group of people believe that among so many celebrity artists in the entertainment industry, Lu Yanhe is the one who has worked hard to reach his current position through his own efforts.
If Lu Yanhe doesn't rely on himself, then who else can say that their success is due to themselves?
There is a lot of heated discussion online.
Chen Ziyan immediately contacted Lu Yanhe.
"The trend of public opinion online is not very good now. No matter which side has the upper hand, your image will be affected." Chen Ziyan said, "You have many fans who always like you and follow you because they see the value of personal struggle in you and project a lot of their own emotions and values onto you. If your success is inseparable from the support of the agency and the help of capital, their filter of you will be broken, and your inspirational and self-improvement image will also be affected."
"However, in this entertainment industry, various forces and capitals absolutely do not want to see you establish an idol persona that can reach this point today without relying on anyone else and fighting alone." Chen Ziyan said, "The degree of control that capital has over artists is that today, basically all the young generation of artists who can be named have capital backgrounds behind them. If they come together to discredit you, this overwhelming amount of black material will also be difficult to resist."
Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
Many artists need traffic, hot searches, and exposure.
But for an actor in Lu Yanhe's position, it is sometimes better to have less exposure and fewer hot searches.
Two or three months without any news or exposure does not affect his status or commercial value at all. However, every time he appears in the public eye, it may mean a new bloody storm.
Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan: "Then let me respond."
"How would you like to respond?"
"Just follow my own path and tell the truth." Lu Yanhe said, "Let's end the discussion of this topic as soon as possible and don't let it continue."
Five minutes later, Lu Yanhe sent a Weibo post:
When I was a child, I learned a poem: Jade is dressed up as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don’t know who cuts the fine leaves, the spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors. A willow tree in spring needs its own vigorous growth, and it also needs the cutting and carving of the spring breeze. The willow tree will not say that it is spring, and the spring breeze will not say that it brings spring to the willow tree.

"Okay, this copywriting...even those millionaire PR gurus can't write it."
After seeing Lu Yanhe’s Weibo, Lu Qingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"When it comes to calligraphy skills, Lu Yanhe can really be trusted 100%."
Chen Ziyan did not relax her expression.
"This trouble was all caused by Ma Zhiyuan's live broadcast room. We can't let him make money so easily by riding on Yan He's popularity." Chen Ziyan said, "I have to call Zhou Ping'an. If Ma Zhiyuan dares to mention Lu Yanhe in his live broadcast room in the future, I will hire ten people to watch his live broadcast room and report any mistakes!"
Lu Qingzhen was surprised and asked, "Is Ma Zhiyuan's contract still in Zhou Ping'an's hands?"
"Yeah." Chen Ziyan nodded, "But Zhou Ping'an basically doesn't care about him anymore and only takes his share."
"Can Ma Zhiyuan's temper be tolerated?"
"Ma Zhiyuan doesn't have the capital to compete with Zhou Pingan now, so he can only endure it." Chen Ziyan said, "But as long as Zhou Pingan is Ma Zhiyuan's agent, he must take care of this matter."
The call got through.
When Zhou Pingan heard about Chen Ziyan's intention, he immediately said, "Mr. Chen, you know that I don't care about Ma Zhiyuan at all now. No matter what he does, he won't listen to me. I'm sorry for the rhythm he set in the live broadcast room today. Really, you should believe me. I am definitely one of the people in the entertainment industry who least wants Yan He to get into trouble."
Chen Ziyan: "Zhou Ping'an, I only have one thing to say. If you don't find a way to stop Ma Zhiyuan's behavior of flirting and trying to gain popularity, I will find a way to prevent Yan Liang and Cheng Hai from ever being able to act in Yan He's projects again."
"Mr. Chen, do you believe what you said? Will Yan He stop cooperating with Yan Liang because of your words? Haha, if the relationship between them was so easy to sow discord, I would have done it long ago." Zhou Ping'an was also outspoken.
"No, you are wrong. I will tell Yan Liang the truth. Based on your understanding of Yan Liang, do you think Yan Liang will voluntarily withdraw from Yan He's project?" Chen Ziyan smiled.
Zhou Pingan was silent.
Lu Qingzhen gave Chen Ziyan a thumbs up, without saying anything, but only mouthed: "You are still so cruel."
Zhou Pingan: "You are so cruel."
"I'm calling you because I'm still thinking of leaving you some wiggle room and not going all the way," Chen Ziyan said. "Otherwise, if Ma Zhiyuan can't even appear on camera anymore, you won't get any money from him."
Zhou Pingan: "If you can prevent him from appearing on camera again and help me solve this problem, I will pay you."
Chen Ziyan: "Are you serious?"
Zhou Pingan: "You have no idea what it's like to have a mentally ill artist under you."
Chen Ziyan: "...I have never felt this before. You must be very experienced."
Zhou Pingan: "Really? If you have the ability to stop him from appearing on camera again, I owe you one."
"You want me to do something bad to you?" Chen Ziyan chuckled. "That's a nice thought."
No matter what, Chen Ziyan would not leave any verbal evidence.
Zhou Pingan: "But regarding the Spring Festival Gala, I thought you would at least agree with me on this matter."
“Even if you bring Lin Suyang in and we form an alliance, you must recognize one fact.” Chen Ziyan said, “With the three of them in their current position, we are just service personnel working for them. We should stop thinking about controlling them.”
"You make it sound easy." "I did the same thing." Chen Ziyan said, "So, my relationship with my artists has always been very good. Even if we separate, it is an amicable parting. We are still friends and can still work together."
Zhou Ping'an had nothing to say.
This has made him a laughing stock in the industry.
Of course he can't compare with Chen Ziyan.
At this moment, Lu Qingzhen suddenly sighed and said "Oh my god".
Chen Ziyan looked at her suspiciously.
Lu Qingzhen pointed to her cell phone, meaning that something new had appeared on the Internet.
Chen Ziyan had no choice but to end the call with Zhou Pingan and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone from the crew of 'Oh My Sea' broke the news that Lu Yanhe came to the crew and allowed the director to change the script on the spot, making the original heroine become a supporting actress. The original heroine Liu Guanxian burst into tears and accused the director on the spot, and even posted a GIF."
Chen Ziyan: "What the hell? Who leaked it?"
"A marketing account." Lu Qingzhen said, "It seems that someone was leading the previous topic just to pave the way for this one."
In the GIF leaked by the marketing account, Liu Guanxian questioned Wu Chi with red eyes and tears in his eyes.
There is no sound, but judging from the lip movements, it matches the message.
Chen Ziyan was shocked and immediately contacted Lu Yanhe.
"Have you seen the revelations from the marketing account about the script changes for The Big Sea?"
"I just saw it." Lu Yanhe sighed helplessly, "It feels like one wave after another has not yet settled."
"Some people want to use this incident to throw dirty water on you and destroy your public image." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "Before, they were discussing whether your achievements were due to yourself or others, but now it has become that you are bullying the young actor."
Lu Yanhe: "I...should I still respond to this matter?"
"It's not appropriate. This matter involves many parties. It's not appropriate for you to respond personally." Chen Ziyan said, "The crew should come out and deny it immediately. I have to ask, is this revelation true?"
"The script was modified, but the change from the female lead to the second female lead was false. The crying GIFs on the Internet were real, but the actual situation was that Liu Guanxian listened to the rumors and misunderstood."
"Then let the crew issue a denial statement immediately." Chen Ziyan was somewhat speechless, "Then, that marketing account must be sued."
"it is good."
Chen Ziyan: "The person who leaked the information in the crew must also be found and kicked out!"
Lu Yanhe: "Yeah."
The movie "Oh, O Sea, Bah!", a low-budget film, became a free hot search because of this trivial matter.
In the comment section of Lu Yanhe’s Weibo, someone asked whether the online revelations were true or false.
Lu Yanhe replied: Do you think it is true?
Someone else asked: What is the real situation?
Lu Yanhe: The crew will explain it later. I just went to visit the set. I am not the director, I am not the screenwriter, and I did not choose the actors. I am somehow connected to this.
Lu Yanhe quickly refuted the rumor.
Someone else asked: Why do you always make low-budget movies?
Lu Yanhe saw it but didn't reply.
About half an hour later, the crew of "Oh, My Sea" issued a statement, explaining the truth behind the online news.
The main explanation was that director Wu Chi did make some changes to the script, but the changes did not involve the heroine, but rather the character setting of the second female lead. As a result, someone in the crew maliciously spread rumors and sold the false information to a marketing account.

"You have to post on Weibo. You have to post on Weibo at this time." Shen Yicheng said to Jiang Yue, "This is a good opportunity for everyone to get to know you. After all, you are also a party involved."
Jiang Yue said: "But, when Director Li Chao came here before, didn't he advise me not to make any response online?"
Shen Yicheng: "He also said that it was just a suggestion, not a request. Besides, Lu Yanhe was slandered in this matter. If you stand up and clarify the truth at this time, Lu Yanhe will have a better impression of you."
Jiang Yue was persuaded by Shen Yichen to take out her mobile phone and edited it several times, but she was not satisfied with what she wrote.
Shen Yicheng said, "Don't be awkward at this time. You have such an opportunity to let everyone know you, but you don't seize it. If you want to be on the hot search, you will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and only get a small splash."
Jiang Yue: "...I'm worried that doing this will affect the crew's clarification. They will have opinions about me then."
Shen Yicheng: "You just need to simply say that you joined the group as the second female lead, and the script you received, whether before or after the revision, is the second female lead. Just make a clarification statement, how can this make them have any objections to you? Once you post this Weibo, you will gain at least 100,000 followers."
Jiang Yue: “…”
"Maybe after this movie is released, you won't be able to gain 100,000 fans." Shen Yichen said again.
Jiang Yue: “…”
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll send it."
She modified it a little bit according to what Shen Yichen had just said and posted it.
When she refreshed the homepage again, she was stunned.
?
One minute ago, Kong Fanyu posted on Weibo: I didn't expect that someone would spread rumors that Lu Yanhe bullied us young actors. It's crazy. If it weren't for Lu Yanhe's investment and production, who would have the opportunity to star in a movie? In the past two years, I have met hundreds of groups, and only "The Sea, Oh, My Bah" firmly chose me as the male lead. There was no hesitation or change in the middle. It only took five days from the audition to the signing of the contract. I just want to say to those marketing accounts, I feel ashamed for you. In order to make a little traffic money, you actually lied with your eyes open!
Jiang Yue widened her eyes in shock.
After refreshing the homepage again, Liu Guanxian also posted on Weibo: I believed the rumors and thought my part was deleted, so I was sad and upset in the GIF. As a result, the director told me on the spot that it was fake. Since the GIF of this scene was taken, why didn’t you release the full video? Although it was very embarrassing, the next second I was slapped in the face. I am sorry that my immature and irrational behavior caused so much trouble to the crew.
Shen Yichen glared at Jiang Yue.
"Look, the three of you posted all at the same time, and attention has been divided." Shen Yicheng was a little helpless. "Before, you might have gained 100,000 followers, but now it's only 30,000 at most. Everyone's attention is on the male and female protagonists."
Jiang Yue: “…”

As I watched some melons these days, I couldn't help but sigh: these bits of bickering and melodrama that I wrote are nothing.
Stop calling me a cliché.
