After Lu Zhen picked up the video call, Ye Xuan said directly, “You should have told me about Yang Na posting on Weibo earlier.”
Lu Zhen said apologetically, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I don’t mean to blame you. She was the one who posted on Weibo. I’m not her manager. I just hope to know everything about you immediately,” Ye Xuan said calmly.
Lu Zhen had a strange feeling when she heard Ye Xuan’s last sentence. After being treated as a homosexual by the netizens, she really couldn’t figure out her sexual orientation anymore. She was a little sensitive to what people of the same sex said.
In her previous life, Lu Zhen had only fallen in a failed relationship. After her rebirth in this life, she had been busy with work and had never considered falling in love. She, who was not experienced in this aspect, had never considered whether she could not accept homosexuality.
Ye Xuan’s domineering tone made her a little dazed for a moment.
Lu Zhen suddenly shook her head. What was she thinking?! She could not be affected by a few words from the netizens. Ye Xuan said this as a manager without any other meaning! She felt that as an actress, it was not a good thing to have too many imaginations and immersion abilities. Sometimes, she might even lose herself.
Lu Zhen said solemnly, “Alright, I’ll pay attention in the future. I’m just about to edit a Weibo post and post it online to explain. After all, Yang Na did it to help me. I don’t want her to get into trouble.”
“Explain?” Ye Xuan raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. “No, don’t explain first. Let the bullet fly a little longer.”
“What?” Lu Zhen was a little puzzled and widened her eyes slightly at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan took a sip of coffee and explained calmly, “You and Yang Na entered Director Wei Ji’s production team together. The script will end filming soon, and the third episode’s live-stream will begin soon. At this time, you and Yang Na have a scandal. Isn’t this a good opportunity to increase your popularity at the same time?”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She did not expect Ye Xuan to consider this. However, on careful thought, what Ye Xuan said made sense. After all, in the entertainment industry, it was very common to hype up fake relationships.
Many emotionless male and female leads would say some ambiguous words during publicity in order to make the film and television drama popular during the broadcast. They would also deliberately make intimate actions to guide netizens and fans to make associations.
Lu Zhen fell silent. Actually, it was not that she could not accept hyping up a fake relationship, but on the one hand, she felt that there was no need. On the other hand, the person involved this time was Yang Na. She and Yang Na are considered friends now. She did not want to use Yang Na to increase her popularity.
Sensing Lu Zhen’s silence, Ye Xuan seemed to know what she was thinking.
Her eyes flickered as she said, “I know what you’re thinking, but this is a special period. You’ve been ruthlessly used by that male celebrity for the past two days. Most netizens don’t understand the truth and haven’t realized how bad that male celebrity’s actions are for the time being.
“We need some time to guide public opinion. If you and Yang Na continue to maintain your popularity, the netizens will retain more attention in this public opinion incident. Only then can we give that male celebrity the most serious counterattack.”
Lu Zhen knew that Ye Xuan was right, but…
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell Yang Na. It’s better for you and Yang Na to create hype than for the two of you to create hype with a certain man. The netizens are much more tolerant of the two beauties. Besides, it’s not like the two of you have been creating hype for a long time. You didn’t publicly admit your relationship. You just didn’t respond for the time being. This can’t be considered lying to the netizens,” Ye Xuan explained patiently.
When Lu Zhen heard this, she was a little touched. Ye Xuan could have made the decision herself, but she still told her and patiently explained every point to her. She nodded and said, “Alright, 1 understand. As long as Yang Na agrees, I have no problem.”
“Yes, I believe she won’t mind. Creating hype with you is a good opportunity for her to attract traffic. She’s a capable actress and has ambition. She hasn’t been popular for so many years. What she lacks is a good opportunity. In the Internet era, every storm of public opinion is a risk but also an opportunity.” Ye Xuan’s tone revealed certainty and confidence.
After saying that, Ye Xuan hung up the phone. She did not ask about Director Wei Ji’s script. It was unknown if she was too relieved or if there were too many things to pay attention to..
