I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 542 The storm has subsided; in quiet preparation, strength is being gathered! (Seeking monthly votes)
Because the brand's public relations were timely, it was quickly removed from the boycott list by fans.

As for the treatment of splashing red paint, that's even less likely to be given to small brands like theirs, and their fans wouldn't bother targeting them.

The target audience is brands that fall between first-tier and second-tier brands and have certain development potential.

Fans are smart; they know how to make brands feel the pain.

They wouldn't dare target top-tier luxury brands, but they could certainly bully these second-tier ones.

This brand's public relations efforts provided a model for other brands.

[They actually hired the image of a music festival as their spokesperson, how pathetic]

I feel so sorry for you guys! Your drinks are really good. I just ordered three cases. I'll keep one for myself, give one away, and just leave the other one lying around (doge emoji).

I really hope we can collaborate with March Sky. Your drinks are really delicious; I think they're just as good as the big brands!

I ordered drinks from this brand beforehand and even won a signed copy of a drink prepared by March Band for the music festival.

It's said that this was an autograph the brand requested from the music festival organizers, who originally asked Tianding Entertainment for it, but Tianding Entertainment refused. So they went directly to March Days, who readily agreed.

Because of the brand's honesty, March Sky's fans flooded the brand's official live stream, and the sales volume in the past few days equaled the sales volume of the past three months!

Other brands that faced boycotts from fans also spoke out.

Dear friends, we were unable to reach a cooperation agreement with March Sky. We used their specific images for promotion and publicity. Now that the contract has expired, we are changing to another celebrity's image as usual.

P.S.: Just between you and me, the new brand ambassador hasn't officially partnered with any celebrity; they're still using the promotional rights to that specific image. We have a legitimate right to purchase the image partnership!

Seeing that these smaller brands have been brought out, fans are now focusing their firepower on second-tier brands.

In addition, Tianding Entertainment did nothing, and some second-tier brands were unable to hold on due to the continuous decline in sales.

The first to succumb were brands that netizens used as units of measurement, which quickly collapsed.

[This brand has terminated its contract with a certain boy band and will actively strive to communicate with March Band to reach a renewal agreement!]

The statement was brief, yet powerful.

Although the brand did not explain in detail in the announcement why it terminated its contract with March and why it replaced the artist.

However, the brand's official account appeared in the comments section of netizens' posts, indirectly responding to the matter.

We received a notification from the company that they had reached an agreement with March Band, which is why they decided to replace them. The company not only promised many benefits but also covered the breach of contract fees.

Although no names were mentioned, those who know, know.

The so-called company is Tianding Entertainment.

This seems to have triggered a domino effect; once one is overturned, several others will follow suit.

One brand revealed the detailed reasons, and other brands that couldn't withstand the pressure also turned against the company, revealing that it was because Tianding Entertainment offered high concessions and paid breach of contract fees that they decided to replace the person.

The brand shifted the pressure onto Tianding Entertainment, and the fans vented their anger on the company.

[Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. I helped you make at least a few buildings in the city center, and now you're just discarding me like a used tool if you don't renew the contract? Isn't that a bit too cruel?]

[Can't we just part ways amicably? Show some class befitting a top-tier company. This behavior is incredibly petty and doesn't resemble that of a renowned industry leader at all.]

[Wow, the relationship between celebrities and their companies is so tense!]

……

"Mr. He, five brands have already announced the termination of their cooperation with Tianding Artists."

The secretary walked into the office, her expression somewhat grave.

Just a few days ago, they were happy to have snatched the endorsement deal from March.

But now, they can't be happy.

How powerful is the influence of a top-tier team?

While Tianding Entertainment can persuade brands with weak resolve to terminate their collaborations with March Sky, top-tier teams can also prevent brands from collaborating with artists within Tianding.

Although the fans did not communicate with March, they stood firmly on March's side.

If Marchday hadn't made a decision before, fans would have been wavering, thinking that renewing their contract with the company was the better option.

But now that March Band has made its choice, even if fans don't quite agree with it in their hearts, they will stand firmly with March Band on the surface.

These are fans!
They are both weak and strong, both indifferent and warm, capable of making you feel like you're in heaven, and capable of sending you to hell in an instant.

Fans who seem omnipotent yet are extremely vulnerable.

In the office, He Yan's face was very grim.

“Some brands have already signed contracts with us, and now they are breaching the contract and have to pay penalties. Are these brands really willing to pay such a large sum of money?”

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "President, those brands are unwilling to pay the breach of contract fees. They are fearless, believing that Tianding Entertainment will not sue them."

"In addition, when we reached cooperation agreements with these brands, we made a commitment to pay their breach of contract penalties. If Tianding Entertainment demands that a brand pay breach of contract penalties, the brand will choose to use the penalties that the company has paid to them to pay for this breach of contract."

He Yan's eyelids twitched; for the first time, he felt this was a real challenge.

These brands are like seasoned veterans, slippery and cunning, they never seem to lose out!

For example, this time, the brand seems to have suffered a loss, but in fact, the bad reputation has been transferred to Tianding Entertainment.

He Yan asked, "So what should we do now? Tianding Entertainment can't keep carrying the reputation of being stingy."

secretary:……

You're asking me? I don't know who to ask either!

Ultimately, the deputy director of the public relations department stepped in and issued an emergency announcement in the afternoon.

Tianding Entertainment has never forced any artists to cooperate, and all collaborations with brands are based on the principles of integrity and mutual benefit. Tianding Entertainment's doors are open to all artists, including those who have already terminated their contracts!

Tianding Entertainment also has a lot of fans.

They not only made March Band famous, but also have many other well-known A-list stars under their wing, all of whom are doing quite well.

Those fans, out of love for their idols, have a certain bias towards Tianding Entertainment, and are unwilling to think of the company as so "vulgar".

Therefore, as soon as this announcement was released, many netizens came out to speak up for Tianding Entertainment.

[Tianding Entertainment isn't targeting anyone, everyone should just leave. Didn't you see how big this has gotten? And March Band hasn't said a single word the whole time?]

[Yeah, even the band March Band isn't in a hurry, so why are the fans?]

[The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is; I believe Tianding Entertainment can handle its relationship with March Sky well!]

Meanwhile, March Sky, who was mentioned by netizens, was leisurely vacationing in her villa.

"Hey kid, I'll play a King!" Yan Xingdong casually played a King.

Chen Lin's face was dark. He only had three cards left in his hand, and they were all Jacks.

In the rules of Dou Dizhu, the J card is neither too big nor too small. It can be played as a pair or a single card, but winning requires a bit of luck.

"pass."

Luo Yi: "Little brat!"

Yan Xingdong: "Passed."

Luo Yi chuckled: "Three with two, airplane!"

Yan Xingdong: "Passed."

Chen Lin: "Passed." Luo Yi chuckled and spread out his cards: "Another three-of-a-kind with a pair, a straight flush! Thanks for your patronage!"

Yan Xingdong/Chen Lin: "Damn it!"

They were so idle at home that they just picked their toes, spending their days playing cards and video games, or watching the news. They lived a life that was either frivolous and decadent or as positive as could be, like a diode.

In another corner of the villa.

Gu Cheng was calmly and leisurely reading a book.

Yan Xingdong had previously worried that the noise would disturb Gu Cheng's reading, but after Gu Cheng put on noise-canceling headphones, all his worries disappeared.

The same living room, two different worlds, two different lives.

Zhang Guang walked in from outside, shedding the hustle and bustle, and looked up wearily.

Seeing that they were all having a great time, he couldn't help but smile as well.

Zhang Guang's strategy was to make it clear that he would not renew his contract with the company, so in order to avoid escalating the conflict, March Band would not respond to anything.

He was worried that the young people couldn't resist, so after they came back that day, he cut off their internet access and even canceled their TV subscription to the entertainment channel.

None of the various speculations about Marchday's lack of response were correct.

March Band wasn't gagged, nor was their silence deliberate, nor did they sign any contract with the company that prevented them from speaking; it was because—

They had no idea!
Zhang Guang gave a soft whistle, letting the bullets fly a little longer.
Is this Tianding Entertainment's PR department...?

As expected, he was very capable and had already guessed his thoughts. He knew that March Sky would not step in to escalate the situation, so he could say whatever he wanted, since March Sky would not come forward to deny it anyway.

but.

He smiled slightly; the internet remembers.

Now they're turning black into white. They've never contacted March Sky, yet they're secretly and quietly censoring them, and openly claiming they didn't.

But one day...

They will definitely pay the price for their past actions.

Meanwhile, Jinli began her final round of review.

It's mid-April now, and there are less than 50 days left until the college entrance examination in June.

Some schools conduct three rounds of review according to different paces, but Jinli cannot plan that precisely, so she can only conduct two rounds.

Moreover, she still has some shortcomings compared to normal test takers.

Others study for three years, including a year of review.

Jinli studied for two years, and then reviewed... well, at most only six months.

Because of the final sprint, Jinli also started disconnecting from the internet.

Of course, her daily live streams continue as usual, but she prohibits viewers from sending bullet comments or messages.

Once you enter her live stream, it's all about endless practice problems, memorizing, summarizing, and then more practice problems... in a never-ending cycle.

Jinli has always been firm in her resolve to disconnect from the internet, even during live streams.

She was completely unaware of the online uproar and the controversy surrounding March Band's decision not to renew their contract.

Sui Lingfang visited the large apartment a few times during this period. Seeing that she was studying diligently, she immediately shut up, even though she was about to say something.

She asked several teachers, "How is Jinli's academic foundation? Is there any hope that she can reach the first-tier university admission line in this year's college entrance examination?"

The teachers didn't dare to make any guarantees, they just said:

"I originally thought her foundation was very weak, but when I started teaching her, I found that it was quite solid. She couldn't solve the most difficult problems, but she could guarantee a 50% success rate for the difficult ones, which is better than 88% of people."

Sui Lingfang initially didn't understand the teachers' hints and kept asking them for a long time.

As a result, these teachers kept emphasizing the 88% figure to her.

She returned to the company, puzzled, and happened to run into Xi Mengze and Qi Guanmingzhu, who were returning from a promotional event together. The two asked her about Jinli's recent situation, and Sui Lingfang told them the truth.

"My teacher kept telling me that I was better than 88% of the students, but what's the point of her telling me to be better than so many people? I want to know for sure whether I can reach the first-tier university admission line."

They have extensive teaching experience, some are even national-level distinguished teachers. I thought they would be more forthcoming and give me specific data, rather than this vague information.

Xi Mengze didn't understand either, but Qi Guanmingzhu noticed something, searched online, and instantly understood.

She handed the phone to Sui Lingfang and said, "The average admission rate for all college entrance examination candidates is about 12%-12.43%, except for certain provinces. This is a nationally consistent figure."

"Since Jinli surpassed 88% of the test takers, it means she's in that tiny 12%! They're practically telling you that getting into a top-tier university is within reach!"

Sui Lingfang clicked her tongue in amazement.

As expected of a cultured person, he enjoys doing cultural things that he sees through but doesn't say outright.

I'll leave you with three words: Figure it out yourself!
Because of the silence of March Sky and the quiet of Jinli, these two artists and their teams, who were always on the trending topics list, made some room for them, making the trending topics list in May extremely lively.

Everyone is using their unique abilities, and new faces and names appear on the list every day.

Of course, veteran artists are not to be outdone.

On May 1st, Li Xunfang launched her first endorsement campaign, officially announcing a formal endorsement partnership with "Modern Women".

She not only launched her second collaboration with Modern Women, but also became their spokesperson.

The brand "Modern Woman" has once again come into the public eye under the leadership of A-list celebrity Li Xunfang.

"It's really rare for a modern woman to be willing to collaborate with Li Xunfang."

Inside the van, Lu Shanjie said to Lian Baozhi, "At the beginning of the year, Modern Women blamed Li Xunfang for the return rate problem. Many artists knew about this. Li Xunfang didn't hide the news; instead, she made the problem even bigger."

At the time, we thought Li Xunfang wouldn't collaborate with Modern Women a second time, but we were proven wrong once again.

Thinking about this, Lü Shanjie felt a pang of emotion.

"She's amazing, like an unkillable cockroach. Despite her reputation being ruined by using body doubles, using long shots for every scene, and being perfunctory, she found a second way out."

She has a very strong mentality. Her agent didn't provide much help. Other artists might not be able to achieve this.

No, that's not right. If it were any other artist, they would probably have completely faded into obscurity, with no chance of a comeback.

Lian Baozhi was not interested in Li Xunfang, and her reasons were simple.

She is a die-hard fan of Jinli.

Anyone who steals her celebrity's endorsement deals, opposes her celebrity, or speaks ill of her celebrity in front of the media, she will draw a circle around and curse them to never become famous!
Lian Baozhi said, "Sister Shan, I'd like to take that role you mentioned before."

Lu Shanjie had strongly urged her to accept the offer, but now she's a bit hesitant.

"In May, Jinli and March Sky were unusually quiet, so many artists chose to participate in variety shows, which makes it easier to get on the trending topics."

"Why don't you go on a variety show too? Don't miss the chance to get some exposure. By June, you might not even be able to make it onto the trending topics list."

The two major hot topics in June can already be predicted in advance.

Jinli took the college entrance exam, and the contract between March Sky and Tianding Entertainment officially ended.

Many artists, feeling they couldn't compete with other stars in June, opted to focus their efforts in May.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with May. Labor Day is a seven-day statutory holiday, so many people take time off, resulting in a large amount of internet traffic.

It's so satisfying to have this exposed at this time.
