Chapter 497: Chapter 497: The Final Result
Up until now, the show’s production team has not released any official statements, but even so, many passersby and fans have rushed to demand an explanation, asking to give the votes and center position back to Hannah.
Tiffany indeed got her much-coveted center position, number one.
But the ensuing backlash from the audience is more than she can bear.
She has become the laughing stock of everyone, and even the tireless work of her fans and bots to control the narrative did not make any significant difference.
Even worse, a significant number of fans have unfollowed her.
Even the best operations team sent by Prideful Entertainment couldn’t think of a way to turn the situation around.
All their official statements are sinking into oblivion.
This issue attracts too much attention, no press releases could reverse the unfavorable impression of Tiffany.
Her manager was troubled, "Before you did this, you should have consulted me. Look at the situation now, even though you ranked first, people are laughing at you for stealing it, it’s more loss than gain!"
"So what?" Tiffany was indifferent, "As long as the final result is that I win, that’s enough."
The manager sighed, "Yes, you won, but now, everyone online is slating you for stealing Hannah’s first place. From the moment the show started airing, you already had the ’privileged’ scandal directed at you. The team managed to divert attention by promoting Hannah’s story, but now you have confirmed their speculations about the ’privileged’ issue."
As for entertainment industry gossip, as long as the person involved doesn’t acknowledge it, fans can choose to ignore it.
She truly felt that Tiffany’s move was like causing a thousand injuries to herself to hurt the enemy by eight hundred.
Not only did she lose all her public goodwill, but she even lowered the affection of many senior figures in the entertainment industry towards her.
Capital drives the entertainment industry, but for the same reason, everyone is more sensitive to the dark side of capital.
On normal days, if they smell something fishy, netizens would swarm to vent their anger, much more so in this case where Tiffany confirmed the capital-privileged scandal.
In the future, it’s unlikely she’ll ever shake off this stained reputation.
Tiffany’s gaze became gradually gloomier, a cold sarcastic remark followed, "Hannah stepped over me so many times, tonight is the night for forming the group, I absolutely won’t let Hannah step on my head again. Even if there’s intense criticism online, so what? When the next hot topic pops up, everyone will naturally forget about it. What are you so worried about?"
She was surprisingly calm.
Compared to being vilified by netizens, Tiffany found it even more unbearable that for the next two years she would be overshadowed by Hannah.
She couldn’t stand it.
Couldn’t stand being outshined by the person she despised and looked down upon the most.
If it weren’t for Hannah, the first place would have been hers for the taking.
As for the vote rigging?
She never felt there was anything wrong with it, it’s all fair in love and war.
Wasn’t winning George River over to willingly help her also due to her own ability?
The manager shook his head, "But look at how many artists online are now supporting Hannah, this issue will not pass as easily as you think, take a look for yourself!"
She slammed the phone on the table.
Who would have thought that busy celebrities also love following talent shows, and even directly support their favorite trainees.
Crystal Quach, and then James Landon, Hayes Edwards.
James Landon can now be considered as half of Hannah’s boss, and Hayes Edwards has previously worked with Hannah.
