Chapter 1060: Chapter 1057: The Agent’s Solution
In the back, someone was quietly listening outside.
Upon hearing this sentence, he stopped at the door and didn’t go in.
...
After Zhang Zhiyou left the company, he opened his phone to check the news.
Ye Zi made it seem as if Ye Ning used many tactics to snatch her advertisement.
Snatching resources is indeed a nasty stain.
Previously, Yang Shiying made a huge fuss over a similar incident; she holds grudges. When the brand revealed they didn’t want her as their spokesperson anymore and would switch to Zhao Xinmeng, she angrily smeared Zhao Xinmeng.
Yang Shiying has some connections in the industry, which allowed her to become one of the four young actresses despite having few works. But everyone knows Zhao Xinmeng isn’t very socially adept and doesn’t have strong backing. Her fame is mainly due to her well-chosen roles, all of which were hits.
Yang Shiying directly hired people to suppress all her advertisements featuring her endorsements. Once posted online, they were immediately blocked, and any search for her name would bring up only some dirty ads.
The brand couldn’t do anything about it either.
Eventually, she got her way and secured the endorsement for the next year.
Zhao Xinmeng, however, couldn’t do anything about her.
But Yang Shiying’s act of snatching endorsements became a stain both inside and outside the industry, making many dislike her because of it.
Subsequently, her popularity with the audience wasn’t as good as before.
When people heard about the resource-snatching incidents later, they subconsciously felt it was another case of using one’s connections for unfair competition, taking someone else’s well-deserved resources, as if maliciously suppressing others.
However, Ye Ning’s advertisement endorsement was clearly not like that.
It was like everyone was competing for a role and going to audition together to see who the director thought was more suitable.
But many netizens and viewers nowadays are so impatient that they might not even click on an article to read it. They form opinions based just on the headline, not caring about the specifics; after all, it’s still considered snatching.
Zhang Zhiyou pondered for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea.
He quickly arrived outside Ye Zi’s current company.
Ye Zi’s agent, Lin Nian, was coming out.
As Lin Nian walked out, she was cursing under her breath.
Zhang Zhiyou honked a few times.
Lin Nian immediately noticed him.
She was a bit surprised when she recognized Zhang Zhiyou.
Zhang Zhiyou said, "Hey, come over and chat for a bit."
Lin Nian said, "You... you’re Ye Ning’s agent now, what is there for us to talk about?"
Zhang Zhiyou said, "I’m just trying to make a living. Do you know why Ye Zi almost got the PUBG Company endorsement this time?"
"Why?"
"Because of me," Zhang Zhiyou said.
Lin Nian’s eyes flickered, sensing something was off, and she got into his car.
In the car.
Zhang Zhiyou said, "Because I declined the PUBG Company’s offer, they got upset and considered Ye Zi instead. You could ask their company if that’s the case."
Lin Nian said, "Ha, so that’s it. I was wondering why Ye Ning would refuse their offer. They were very upset about it. Why did you do this?"
"I always thought game endorsements were low-end. I just didn’t want her to take it."
Lin Nian laughed, "Senior, you’re being a bit too old-school. Nowadays, things are different. Back then, game endorsements were certainly low-end, but now, e-sports are booming. These popular games are a different story. You’re still seeing things with the old mindset."
