Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: General Plan
At the time, Hannah Winter, despite having acting skills and clenching a blockbuster hit with "Fairy," was still regarded as a girl group member, which couldn’t withstand the sheer number of her haters.
Hayes Edwards was even worse-off, notorious for being a pop idol representative without acting chops, with not a single one of his shows escaping criticism.
With both leads like that, and supporting actor Louis Snyder having skills and a decent reputation, the quarrels between the fan bases of Snyder and Hannah never ceased.
"The Kite," despite trending more often because of these issues, did not enjoy a good reputation, and the general public’s perception was poor.
As a professional agent, she could certainly see that. Therefore, it was within her expectations that "The Palace Wall" would surpass "The Kite" at the box office on the opening day.
But look at it now.
What is a counterattack, what is a reversal?
This is it.
Both face-slapping and embarrassing.
Tiffany Lynch was saying something on the side, but the agent didn’t listen to a word, just staring at the continuously declining box office of "The Palace Wall" on her phone.
Shaking her head all the while.
Until Tiffany Lynch said, "Get some reliable people. I have some dirt on Hannah Winter that I want to leak."
Upon hearing this, the agent’s first reaction was shock, and a bit of fear, "You’re not joking, are you?"
Tiffany Lynch let out a cold laugh, "Do you think I’m joking?"
She had been waiting for this day long enough.
"The Kite" exploded in popularity? Hannah Winter on fire?
That’s exactly the fire she wanted, the fiercer the better, best to burn Hannah Winter to ashes, leaving her powerless to retaliate.
Seeing Tiffany Lynch’s demeanor, the agent also realized she was not joking and became cautious, tentatively asking, "Are you sure the dirt you’ve mentioned is real? You know, with Hannah’s current status, unless the evidence is solid, it’s very likely to backfire on you."
Tiffany Lynch scoffed, mocking, "You think Hannah is some kind of good person? The dirt on her is enough for her to be chased out of the entertainment industry amidst a chorus of jeers. Don’t worry, I have a sense of measure."
Though that’s what she said, the agent was still worried.
She wasn’t a rookie; she had seen and handled her fair share of scandalous exposés within the entertainment industry.
There were ones that had a mix of truth and fiction, and ones mostly fabricated.
If you’re skilled enough, you could even spin a tale out of nothing.
By bribing promotional accounts to spill the details and hiring bots to deliberately steer the conversation, as long as you can seize the moral high ground in the court of public opinion, the narrative can be controlled as you please.
The convenience of the internet always shows in various ways.
But the problem is, the target is Hannah Winter...
Seeing her agent’s hesitation, Tiffany Lynch had no choice but to outline her plan.
She knew she couldn’t pull this off without professional help.
To manipulate public opinion, it’s best to have the agent do it.
To take advantage of "The Kite’s" box office and critical acclaim to pull Hannah Winter down.
With this, not only would her plan succeed, but it could also turn "The Palace Wall" from a loss into a victory.
After all, who would go see a movie by an artist full of scandal?
Some might even clamor for a refund.
Indeed, the human heart is so easily manipulated.
After listening to Tiffany Lynch’s rough plan, the agent felt more confident, but still asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course," Tiffany Lynch blurted out without hesitation, "Hannah Winter has been overshadowing me for so long. I finally found an opportunity for revenge, how could I possibly give up? This time, I will definitely crush her!"
