Yu Manqi tightly grasped Robin's trouser legs, her eyes full of pleading: "Brother Bing, you must have a way, save me! I can't be ruined like this!"

Robin looked down at her, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "It's no use begging me, you might as well go and beg Mr. Wang. But your two confirmed misdeeds have already labeled you as 'morally flawed'. I'm afraid no one dares to employ you anymore."

After hearing this, Yu Manqi's face turned even paler. She tried to contact Mr. Wang, but he didn't answer her calls. She knew that what Robin said was true. She had been completely branded as a "bad artist" and there was no hope for her to turn things around.

Moreover, the company signs so many acting students who graduate from film academies every year, so there must be too many people in the company who want to replace her position now.

Two hours ago, she was still dreaming of becoming a top star, but in less than two hours, her dream was shattered.

At the same time, Mr. Wang was watching the online public opinion in his office. He had hoped to use this opportunity to pull Xiao Yi down from the top position, but he did not expect that Xiao Yi's team could quickly turn the situation around.

He was not only extremely disappointed with Robin and Yu Manqi, the two were simply trash. Especially Yu Manqi, the speed of her collapse was so fast that it caught people off guard.

Now Yu Manqi has completely lost her value, and her path to advancement has been completely blocked. It's a pity that the company invested a lot of resources in her in the early stage. Now the investment is obviously not recoverable.

Mr. Wang turned off his phone in an upset state and stopped paying attention to public opinion. The situation was irreversible. The Internet trolls hired by Universal Pictures at a high price only stirred up a few waves. The damage caused to Zhang Wanhe, the old fox, and Xiao Yi was almost negligible. Instead, Universal Pictures suffered heavy losses.

However, a loss of several million and an unknown Yu Manqi would not have much impact on the development of Universal Pictures.

Mr. Wang put his feet up on the table and picked up a film promotion document. During the National Day holiday, Universal Pictures will release three films, one of which has an investment of nearly 1 billion yuan and is a major project of the company in the past two years. Therefore, the current priority of Universal Pictures is the promotion of these three films.

A month ago, the publicity and promotion company had been gradually warming up. Judging from the feedback, the publicity and promotion effect has been good so far, and the reservations for the three films have reached tens of millions.

Moreover, the three films received extremely good responses during internal screenings, and many professional film critics gave them high praise. It is expected that the box office during the National Day holiday will reach around 2 billion yuan.

In this bright prospect, the fall of Yu Manqi, a third-tier actress, seems insignificant. Mr. Wang supported Yu Manqi in hyping up the scandal with Xiao Yi, with the original intention of creating some trouble for Zhang Wanhe and Xiao Yi. If Yu Manqi succeeds, he will naturally promote her to a first-tier position; if not, that is her fate.

After three days of gossip, the heat of Xiao Yi and Yu Manqi finally died down. As a victim, Xiao Yi's social media account gained hundreds of thousands of followers, while Yu Manqi's account quickly lost followers, falling from tens of millions to more than seven million.

What’s worse is that many of Yu Manqi’s tens of millions of fans are “zombie fans” bought by the company, and the more than two million fans lost this time are truly active users.

But the loss of fans was not the biggest blow to Yu Manqi. Instead, after the two hot searches, Yu Manqi lost all her reputation among the audience. After all, the entertainment industry is a place that depends on "audience appeal". Without audience support, actors have nothing to rely on. Therefore, although Yu Manqi did not break the law, these two incidents also caused her to be softly banned in the industry. The companies that originally endorsed her products approached Universal Pictures, demanding the termination of the contract and replacement of artists of the same level.

Universal Pictures naturally agreed to this request because there are clear provisions in the endorsement contract that the spokesperson must not have any negative news that affects the image and sales of the product during the endorsement period.

But now Yu Manqi's image has had a great negative impact on the products she endorsed, and some consumers even complained and returned the products in the official flagship store. Now the endorsement company can only ask for a replacement spokesperson instead of claiming compensation from Universal Pictures, which is already a great favor to Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang.

After Universal Pictures verbally notified Yu Manqi, her seven endorsements were transferred to other artists in the same company. In this public opinion war with Xiao Yi, Universal Pictures only lost a less famous Yu Manqi and several million in water army expenses, and it can be said that it escaped unscathed.

Li Jiawei watched the surveillance video on the 16th floor of the hotel three days after the public opinion subsided, and after watching it, she deleted the video from her mobile phone.

This time, she realized that she was indeed too sensitive, and this incident also made her realize her distrust of Xiao Yi's feelings.

In the world of love, sensitivity often stems from inner lack of confidence. Although she has achieved financial freedom now, these external materials can give her the confidence to deal with things, but they cannot give her true bearing and knowledge, let alone make her feel confident from the bottom of her heart.

The lack of self-cultivation will naturally cause pressure and insecurity when walking with outstanding people, and Li Jiawei is no exception. She looked at the wedding dress design in her hand and felt that it was just like a child's doodle. She decisively tore the design draft from the sketchbook, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

At the same time, the magazine "Meishang" attracted much attention due to the Yu Manqi sample photo scandal. As soon as the October issue was released, it was quickly sold out and sales were very hot.

The photography techniques, character construction and interview articles on the magazine cover and its inside pictures have sparked widespread discussion on the Internet. In particular, the picture of Director Jiang on the magazine cover gives people a sense of calmness and confidence, making Director Jiang and her films once again the focus of public attention.

The October issue of "Meishang" is also the first magazine led by Li Jiawei. She is very happy to have achieved such results.

Li Jiawei carefully placed the magazine upright on the bookshelf. She was surprised and proud of the good sales and reputation. But she also knew that all this success was inseparable from the hard work and dedication of the team.

Wu Ziqi knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Li Jiawei admiring the magazine cover, he smiled and joked, "It's almost become a hit. Haven't you admired it enough?"

Li Jiawei turned to look at Wu Ziqi and said with a smile, "I can't get enough of it! This is my first magazine. I participated in the selection of topics and the style, so it is special."

Wu Ziqi said: "Thank you for your persistence, otherwise we wouldn't have achieved such good results."

Li Jiawei said, "I'm just talking, but you're really amazing. Your article about Director Jiang's interview has been read over 100,000 times, which is very influential. Director Jiang called me yesterday and said he wants to treat you to a meal when he has time! Congratulations, you've finally established yourself in this circle."
