Chapter 51 Successive Setbacks
Seeing that the good sisters suffered a heavy blow just after they started promoting their new album, Wen Xia couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly forwarded this post on Weibo with the following text:
"The good sister's new album is about to be released. I hope everyone can pay more attention to her work. You will not be disappointed."
Wen Xia's intentions were good, but things didn't seem to be going in the direction she wanted.
Both fans and passers-by have raised questions:
"Are you two really sisters? It's not like the sisters' company paid you to say that, right?"
"Summer, if you just blinked when you were kidnapped, we don't blame you."
"Wen Xia is really miserable. Even when she goes out for leisure and travel, she has to find time to support the 18th-line female singer."
"Good boy Wen Xia, we don't deserve this bad money. If you need money, tell me and I will support you~~"
"You're raising a piece of shit, I'll take care of you if you want!"
Seeing that the comment section was so crooked, Wen Xia had no choice but to post an explanation on Weibo:
"Luoluo is my childhood friend who has lived together since kindergarten. We have been friends for almost ten years. We are really good sisters (laughing and crying)"
Although Wen Xia gave a timely explanation, netizens' thinking is not so easy to change. Luo Quan's reputation has still not improved, and it is even likely to continue to worsen.
People who eat melons left messages one after another:
"This Luo Quan is too bitchy, isn't it? Wen Xia didn't even say a word when she terminated her contract with the company. Now that she's about to release a new album, do you want to ask her good sisters to promote it?"
"With such a snobbish attitude, Wen Xia is really not a kind person."
"It's been hotly searched every day for three days. When I talk about the work, it's very popular abroad, and Douyin is very popular. In the end, there are only five songs in total. I don't need to say more about the level of it."
"You dare to sell a record for 200 yuan. Which singer in China still sells it for such a high price? It's higher than the price charged by the superstar. I don't know who gave her the courage!"
"Wen Xia, if you have such a big celebrity friend for publicity, there will always be enemies who will be fooled."
"Don't speak for me. Although I am a big fan of Wen Xia, I will never spend a penny on this coming-of-age ceremony!"
"Add me to join the boycott of "Rite of Passage"!"
………………
A person's first impression is very important. Once it is finalized, it is very likely that it will not be reversed in a lifetime. This is also the reason why spreading rumors and trying to refute them will break your legs.
When Luo Quan came into the public eye with such an image, the bad impression was already burned into their hearts. No matter how Wen Xia explained, it was difficult to change their minds.
Prejudice is a big mountain, while malicious speculation and incitement with ulterior motives are the seals sent down by Tathagata Buddha. When these things are combined into one, even the Great Sage Qitian cannot stand up.
Wen Xia originally just wanted to help a group of his good friends, but he didn't want to backfire and end up in this situation.
When Luo Quan came home after recording the song in the evening, Wen Xia, who had been depressed all day, came up to him with tears in his eyes: "Luo Luo, I'm sorry for you..."
Luo Quan found it funny: "Why do you look like a little daughter-in-law who has been bullied?"
"I messed up, and now Weibo is full of scoldings for you." Wen Xia had tears in her eyes. Junzi also wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that Wen Xia, who was usually fearless, was now so pitiful, Luo Quan knew that the matter must be serious.
She opened Weibo, and sure enough, her name was on the front page of hot searches.
I don’t know how much money Sony’s Chinese branch paid to Weibo. The hot search has not been removed yet, and it has been unremittingly attracting trouble for Luo Quan.
There were endless negative comments in the comment area, and Luo Quan seemed like a street rat that everyone could step on.
Adjectives such as "King of Marketing" and "Bitch" have become her labels, and the topic of boycotting "Rite of Passage" has also become quite popular. Some self-media launched a poll on whether you would buy "Rite of Passage". As many as Fifty or sixty thousand people chose No!
Luo Quan, who was full of doubts, thought to himself that he had not offended anyone, so why did he suddenly post a promotion and be ridiculed by the entire Internet?
After patiently spending twenty minutes scrolling through Weibo, Luo Quan finally figured out the whole story.
No one is wrong in this matter.
Buying hot searches is the norm in domestic publicity work. If you don’t buy something with a clear price, others will buy it. Sony also wants Luo Quan’s album to get more attention.
And those netizens who have been annoyed by Luo Quan's many hot searches are not wrong. Everyone has the right to express their disgust. They are not unreasonable. Luo Quan gave them a reason to speak first.
Wen Xia was right. When he saw his good sister Feng Ping being murdered, he couldn't help but post on Weibo to help. This was a very normal and righteous behavior. There may be many celebrities in the entertainment industry who can post a Weibo to help their friends promote, but there are not many celebrities who can help their friends clarify and post a second Weibo, not to mention Wen Xia has more than By posting these two Weibo posts, she has been calling on fans and netizens to stay rational.
Thousands of words can only be summed up in one sentence: "She, Luo Quan, is the unlucky one."
If it weren't for the Korean ban that suddenly appeared today, her release of a new album would have easily become a hot topic, and not many people would criticize it.
After all, she had been frequently searched in the past, not to mention Wen Xia’s help this time. If it weren’t for the Korean ban, the fact that the two of them were having sex would definitely attract a lot of attention. Who would be there then? Do you still care about how many hot searches Luo Quan has been on?
It can only be said that everything happened just in time, and the propaganda department was very strong, which ultimately led to such consequences.
But actually it’s not bad, at least over-marketing is not a principled error, and the possible impact is far less serious than before.
Buy hot searches, which celebrity doesn’t buy it now? Even if you don't buy it, as long as you go online too often, some people will think you did. It's just that Luo Quan didn't buy it before, but he happened to buy it this time, and it happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
As for why Wen Xia was forced to promote, what happened to her ten-year friendship with Wen Xia, and how to promote an album? Breaking the world is a matter of fighting or enduring, and it has nothing to do with other people.
Seeing Wen Xia's pitiful look of doing something wrong and waiting for a lesson from her parents, Luo Quan smiled and hugged her thin shoulders: "Okay, don't cry. How big of a deal can I do? Isn't it just scolding me?" Just buy a hot search."
Wen Xia burst into tears: "But your reputation in China has been ruined. How can you develop in China in the future?"
Luo Quan didn't care: "If your reputation is bad, you can turn it around. I haven't done anything harmful to the world. Why don't you let me go back to my country and waste my money?"
Wen Xia burst into tears and smiled: "Do you just want to make bad money in your domestic development plan?"
"Instead of giving the money to those Korean celebrities and idols, why not give it all to me? After all, the money should not go to outsiders." Luo Quan said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Okay, don't cry. A big star looks as ugly as a ghost when he cries." Luo Quan pulled open two tissues and comforted her softly.
"You are the ghost!" Wen Xia's eyes seemed angry but also ashamed, and he returned to his previous fearless appearance.
"Izumi-chan, it seems that the Korean ban has more than just an impact on you." Junko kept sliding the screen of her phone with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Luo Quan was curious.
Junko frowned and said, "Look at Naver, you are scolded badly."
