Chapter 166: The 166th day of being popular
After Xiaopang stopped speaking, everyone understood his point.
Since Yao Bianliang made arrangements for Feng Shiyuan, why would she ask them to help Lu's group?
It would be contradictory to arrange for people to praise while also arranging for criticism. Sister Liang would never make such a low-level mistake, so the truth was clear.
Sister Liang wanted them to take a counter position against Lu's group, engaging in back-and-forth disputes, which would naturally increase the hype and attention.
With this realization, all their remaining doubts disappeared.
Currently, public opinion is overwhelmingly positive, and countless praises and compliments are flooding the internet.
Even if they tried to "clarify" and tell the public, "Our Liang Liang isn't that great," people would most likely consider it modesty and wouldn't be affected significantly.
Since clarifying wasn't effective, they might as well switch to a mode of criticism herself!
If others praised Yao Bianliang ruthlessly, they would criticize her ruthlessly.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
The one-sided situation on the internet was due to the overwhelming praise from fans and water armies. If they arranged for their fans and water armies to counter the narrative, with both sides confronting each other and stirring up controversies, the situation could be perfectly resolved.
Since Lu's group wanted to spend money to promote their side, they would let them be.
After all, all that real money would be spent, and besides contributing to their momentum, it wouldn't have any other effect.
When Zhou Fei thought of this, he was in complete awe of Yao Bianliang.
No wonder she asked them to "promote" this situation, making it a big deal using Lu's group as an opportunity.
This was like using the competitor's money to hype themselves!
Once Lu's group realized that their operation not only didn't harm Yao Bianliang but instead boosted her popularity and reputation, they would probably be infuriated.
The thought of this scene excited Zhou Fei just by imagining it.
"Fei Ge, what should we do next?" Xiaopang asked beside him.
Zhou Fei smiled and replied, "Feng Ge will take the lead, and we can't just sit idle. Everyone, find a way to inform the major fans. Let's unite and counter Lu's group together."
Lu's group wanted to promote Yao Bianliang and her works, so if they countered them, it would naturally involve criticizing Yao Bianliang's works.
"Um, encouraging fans to do this kind of thing?"
Xiaopang widened his eyes slightly, thinking they might buy some marketing articles and compete with Lu's group.
Seeing through Xiaopang's thoughts, Zhou Fei helplessly said, "Forget about buying water armies and marketing articles; we don't have money for that."
Xiaopang: "..."
True, that makes sense.
"In that case, our fans will be just like anti-fans." Someone couldn't help muttering.
For other fans, when their idols achieve even a small accomplishment, everyone is eager to praise them. If someone points out any flaws, fans either remain silent or refute them. The classic responses are usually, "Do you know how hard my idol works?", "Haters, shut up!", "Wishing your bias to disappear from the face of the earth."
But for fans to collectively criticize their own idol...
Come on, they have never witnessed such a shocking scene!
Zhou Fei's expression turned serious. "This is the task Sister Liang assigned to us, and no matter what, we must complete it seriously."
He paused, stood up, and looked at the surrounding companions.
"I seriously thought about it, and if we want to guide the fans to cooperate with Feng Ge in this operation, we can start from three aspects."
"First, in the fan group announcements, weibo announcements, and other places, we should emphasize encouraging fans to criticize and point out flaws."
This is the basic ideological guidance. However, relying solely on this won't be enough to prompt the fans into action.
They must take substantive measures to encourage fans to criticize Yao Bianliang.
These countless comments gave Mo Yougan a headache.
He only wanted to peacefully shoot a script that flopped.
Yet now, before it even aired, the drama had already gained immense popularity, shooting up to the top trending topic!
As an investor, Mo Yougan had never arranged these armies of fans and marketing accounts. In his imagination, the drama should have been quietly shot and completed.
However, now the drama has become widely known, and its popularity even surpassed related terms related to Lu group.
Seeing Yao Bianliang frown, she also opened Weibo to take a look.
Goodness, the new drama had just started filming and was already ranked first on the trending list.
Lu group was indeed powerful!
Looking at Mo Yougan's frustrated expression, Yao Bianliang quickly explained, "Mr. Mo, don't worry. If I guess correctly, this should be the work of the Lu Group."
Mo Yougan furrowed his brows, "Lu?"
His relationship with Lu was like water and fire; their companies were competitors. So, why would they create such popularity for him now?
Yao Bianliang's lips are slightly curved, "As you know, our script is quite controversial. At this time, Lu Group buying trending topics and doing promotions for us... what good intentions could they have?"
Mo Yougan's gaze flickered for a moment before he understood.
That's right, he had misunderstood before.
Everyone was highly anticipating the new drama. If the quality of their work was not good enough, it would undoubtedly attract countless criticisms.
And he was well aware of the script's quality, wasn't he?
That drama was filled with toxic elements, practically asking for complaints.
Once the new drama was officially released, the public backlash was bound to be severe.
"So, this is actually a good thing for us?" Mo Yougan's eyes brightened slightly.
"Of course," Yao Bianliang nodded.
They exchanged a knowing smile and understanding glances.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off..."
The announcement came through the intercom, and Yao Bianliang looked outside at the beautiful weather before checking her phone.
In the unread messages, only three were from Zhou Fei, reporting on work-related matters.
Zhou Fei: "Sister Liang, regarding the tasks you arranged, we have already devised a plan. If you have time, could you take a look?"
The document attached shows a professionally crafted plan with detailed schedules and processes.
The only downside was that it was too professional, with dense text that made Yao Bianliang's eyes ache.
Fortunately, Zhou Fei also sent a long text to explain everything besides the document.
In essence, they had prepared according to her instructions and would coordinate with the fans to amplify public opinion and increase the hype.
Yao Bianliang understood their intentions.
Having fans coordinate with the promotion seemed like a good idea. If the fans praised her to the skies, wouldn't that align perfectly with Lu's intentions?
Thinking back to the trending topic she saw earlier about the start of her new drama, it was evident that their plan was proceeding exceptionally smoothly.
She smiled and replied to Zhou Fei, "You can show the document to Assistant Chen. You all have done a great job, keep it up."
After sending the message, the plane was ready for takeoff.
Yao Bianliang let out a sigh of relief, switched her phone to airplane mode, and leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to relax.
Everything was under control!
