The immediate impact after the scandal was exposed was the ratings of <Brother of the Wind>.
After the original drama was revealed to be plagiarized, they were already scolded by the audience. Now the male and female protagonists were also creating such scandals. The script was also plagiarized. Of course, the audience had to resist.
Not to mention the restoration of the normal screening schedule, even if it was an early finale, no one would watch it.
It already had a bad reputation.
Xu Jialu escaped from the situation.
After sending all the group those messages, she found a beautiful place to live and she was facing the sea every day. She greeted the scumbag’s ancestors every day, and she felt as though she had almost reached the pinnacle of a new life.
It was a devastating disaster and this storm brought ruins to Tang Ke and Liang You.
The both of them had made some achievements in short videos, but they were still far from the entertainment circle where real interests were intertwined.
Now <Brother of the Wind> had already been blown up as plagiarism drama, which was equivalent to a company’s test of water in vain.
But this was not the worst situation. Since Hou Da had also sorted out all the relevant evidences, since it was a plagiarism drama, they should not continue to broadcast it on the platform so blatantly. When were the audience ever fools?
Hou Da’s position was that she did not want to go to court, nor does she want an apology from them. To Hou Da, the greatest sincerity would be for them to remove it directly.
It was a good hit drama and just like that, it went high and low, and it died halfway.
And the variety shows that Tang Ke and Liang You have already recorded were all re-recorded.
This was the reality of the entertainment industry. If you want to play, then you must first have a good deck of cards.
At this time, Jiang Yuning proposed to postpone the broadcast of <Yan Huasu> for half a month.
This was because according to the original plan, Hou Da requested that <Brother of the Wind> be removed from the shelves. After all, rushing to show it at this time would inevitably make people feel disgusted.
In the future, when the ratings were high, then it would be very likely that people would spread rumors, saying that they were just borrowing the popularity of <Brother of the Wind>.
Since Hou Da was confident that this was a good drama, then they should avoid all of this scandals completely.
Hou Da thought for a moment and she thought that it was feasible.
This way of handling, retreating and giving up the distance, on the contrary, makes people feel that <Yan Huasu> would have a bright future, which was equivalent to creating momentum and lifting up people’s consciences.
Hou Da did the same and she made the official announcement. Although the broadcast was postponed, but one episode would be added every week. Besides that, they also released a four-minute trailer during the official announcement.
[The response of the filmmaker of <Yan Huasu> is clever, elegant and smart! Their judgment is superior!]
[Although it has been delayed for half a month, the production of the classic original <Yan Huasu> has been increased. I have this confidence and support.]
[Four-minute trailer is already making me excited! The fake sweet love line can just scram to the side!]
[There is comparison between the both of the dramas at all. So, how did the brain damaging drama, <Brother of the Wind? become so popular?]
[I am going to treasure Jiang Yuning’s acting in the drama. After all, they might not be anymore of her drama or movies after <Yan Huasu> or <Suffocation>.]
After watching the trailer, the audience already knew how good the drama, <Yan Huasu> was.
Inferiority, was pulled back just like that.
Jiang Yuning didn’t make much effort, but she simply found the weakness of the Tang Ke and by the way, acting chivalrously and doing good deeds was simply beautiful.
Hou Da finally let go of her worries as she prepared for the next wave of propaganda with peace of mind. They would be starting the road show with Su Jinhang and An Youqing.
However, the Tang Ke and Liang You were not convinced.
Since the incident broke out, they have been hiding at home. Until now, the both of them refused to accept the facts. After so many years of hard work, they finally managed to gain some fame and popularity. However, it seemed as though things were falling apart for them now.
Looking at <Yan Huasu> again, the two of them felt that the drama should have been a complete failure but now the audience were not willing to compare the two dramas anymore because they were really unworthy.
It was also because of the scandals surrounding <Brother of the Wind>, which directly sets off the nobility of <Yan Huasu>.
…
“The reason why they can come up with such a clever counter-attack method is because Jiang Yuning is as stable as a mountain behind Hou Da. We underestimated Jiang Yuning’s ability. The company hopes that the both of you will not go out for the time being. When the limelight has passed, we will think of other ways for you to make a comeback.”
This were the last words that Tang Ke and Liang You’s agent said to them before they left.
After that, Tang Ke’s house fell into darkness.
The both of them sat on the sofa and were silent. After a long time, Tang Ke asked Liang You: “Do you still have that Yang Yang’s contact information?”
“Yes, what are you going to do?” Liang You asked weakly with her cell phone.
“I can’t wait to tear Jiang Yuning apart now. Since you said that you can imitate her, then let’s play a big game with her now.”
At this moment, Tang Ke’s heart was only filled with the desire for revenge.
Liang You thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing left for her to lose, so she turned over the phone number and handed it to Tang Ke.
…
The matter was resolved smoothly, and Jiang Yuning started to feel better in her heart as she came up with a new publicity plan for <Yan Huasu>.
This matter was difficult and she would not come out in person.
However, Su Jinhang and An Youqing had already pinned all their hopes on her. If she did not appear, then the effect of publicity would be half discounted.
Her pregnancy hasn’t been made public so far, but her belly was already getting bigger and it shouldn’t be kept a secret for much longer.
In that case, she could consider online promotion.
The young paparazzo’s workstation was separated from Jiang Yuning by a glass. When he saw her in a daze and frowning from time to time, he couldn’t help getting up from his seat and knocking on the door to enter.
“Are you thinking about publicity again? You shouldn’t have to take care of this kind of thing from the very beginning. How can an actress be responsible for after-sales after the filming? You are still pregnant with a baby. So, why do you have to stress yourself out so much?”
Jiang Yuning thought for a while and she felt that the young paparazzo made sense, but Jiang Yuning’s passion for Hou Da’s <Yan Huasu> was not ordinary.
“After <Yan Huasu>, I only have <Suffocation> left to be broadcasted. In the future, there may be a long time where I will not be able to film anything at all. So, I want to have a good result in <Yan Huasu> at least. Anything you do will encounter all kinds of problems. To evade responsibility is equivalent to evading success and glory. Don’t worry, I know it in my heart.”
“I think it’s because my brother-in-law is too busy recently and neglected to discipline you!”
The young paparazzo’s words were correct.
After Lu Jingzhi had a new identity, he was very gentle and loving at first, not very busy but now he was very busy every day.
For several days, Jiang Yuning fell asleep before the second young master Lu came back. Jiang Yuning just woke up and saw that there was no one around her.
But she knew that in fact, her second brother didn’t need to go home every day, so she was totally worried about him.
The prestige of the Lu family had risen again, and the burden on the shoulders of her second brother has become heavier.
For this reason, the old man also placed some thoughts into this matter.
He also invited a well-known foreign teacher to conduct a second round of learning for Chen Jingshu. After all, the future burden of the Lu family might eventually fall on her shoulders.
