Chapter 965: Apologize
Director Liang forwarded the Weibo post to Luo Xuzhang’s WeChat and said, “Tan Jinqi made known that you approached him to request that he cancel the collaboration with Guo Saisai, and also that you have plans to ban her.”
“What?!” Luo Xuzhang’s heart skipped a beat. It was as uncomfortable as experiencing weightlessness on a roller coaster.
Luo Xuzhang couldn’t care less about what Director Liang had to say. He quickly opened the Weibo message that Director Liang had forwarded.
Tan Jinqi didn’t input any recordings, but he mentioned that he had just received a call from Luo Xuzhang.
He included everything that had been covered during their call.
If someone else had exposed this matter, the netizens would probably have questioned its authenticity.
However, Tan Jinqi’s fame was too great. As a public figure living in the spotlight, he had to take responsibility for what he said.
He couldn’t just make up a story as he pleased.
Especially since the person he was referring to was the president of Guo Pai Video.
This breaking news couldn’t have been exaggerated.
Otherwise, he could prepare to be sued at any time.
Moreover, with Tan Jinqi’s reputation, if he came up with falsehoods, it would have a negative effect on his image.
If Tan Jinqi could make a name for himself, he would not make such an amateur mistake.
In addition, “Broken Continent” had just officially announced that Guo Saisai would join the third season.
It was indeed very logical for Guo Pai to get in touch with Tan Jinqi about this matter.
Even the netizens were one-sided in supporting Tan Jinqi.
“This is first-hand information.”
“I hope that everyone can learn from Tan Jinqi and Guo Saisai in the future and come out personally and be responsible for their own actions. Even the bystanders and onlookers will be able to fully comprehend the matter.”
“Guo Pai has too restricted a view of things, targeting the weakest link only to find that it backfired on them.”
“Indeed, look for the one who caused the trouble. If they had dealt with Yuan Keqing in time, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. Now, Guo Pai has suffered a great loss, and they even let everyone know that they are narrow-minded.”
“They even threatened Tan Jinqi. Such a big platform, relying on their influence to threaten to ban someone, just because the other party didn’t do as they said. They are really too much.”
“This was exposed by Tan Jinqi. How many people have they previously banned and silenced?”
“Now that you mention it, I remember watching TV dramas and really feeling that there were quite a number of actors with spiritual energy, but then they disappeared without a trace. Some of them did withdraw from the entertainment circle, but some of them still seemed to be working hard, but lacking the resources. We can’t rule out the possibility that they offended the platform.”
“I’m curious. Why didn’t they ban Yuan Keqing? Yuan Keqing must be the one who caused this.”
“Obviously, Yuan Keqing has a backer.”
“But if she has a backer, this matter has already blown up. It wasn’t something that could be solved by Guo Saisai’s denial. If Guo Pai didn’t get rid of Yuan Keqing’s scenes, “Moon Shines Over the River” would be wasted. Moreover, Guo Pai isn’t the only one at a disadvantage; it also affects the director of “Moon shines over the river” and all the actors involved.”
Although Luo Xuzhang was the president of Guo Pai, he was only appointed.
He also had a boss.
This was the boss of the entire group.
Guo Pai was only one part of the entire group.
Guo Pai belonged to Ledong Media.
Ledong Media’s president, President Yang, personally called Luo Xuzhang this time to inquire about this matter.
“It was originally just a small matter. How did it become so big?!” President Yang fumed.
It was clearly a small matter, but had now been blown up, affecting Guo Pai’s image.
“What exactly did you do?!” President Yang roared, “You can’t even manage such a small matter. If this position is too much for you to handle, someone else can do it!”
Mixed feelings couldn’t even begin to describe Luo Xuzhang’s current mood.
He couldn’t let go of the potential benefits that Tan Jinqi could bring.
At the same time, he cursed Tan Jinqi.
If you don’t agree to the proposed conditions, then that’s that.
Yet you turned around and exposed the matter.
Are you trying to burn bridges!
Just because of a Guo Saisai, you’re planning to have a falling out?
“I’m going to solve it now,” Luo Xuzhang said quickly.
“How are you going to solve it?” President Yang asked, “Our company’s image has always been good. The movies we invest in have good results. The audience buys it and trusts our reputation. Now that you’ve done this, even our Ledong Media’s image has been damaged.”
“Tell me, how are you going to solve it? Previously, you went to Tan Jinqi to solve this matter, but you didn’t handle it well and made things worse instead,” President Yang said, “Tell me, what do you plan to do now? I’ll see if your method is feasible.”
Luo Xuzhang hurriedly said, “For now, we must deny Tan Jinqi’s words, expressing that there’s been a misunderstanding. We don’t intend to ban Guo Saisai, and we won’t ban anyone. On one hand, we’ll make an announcement, and then I’ll immediately negotiate with Tan Jinqi to stop him from sending these messages.”
“This is your idea?” If he were in front of Luo Xuzhang right now, Director Yang would have wanted to smash a cup of hot coffee on Luo Xuzhang’s head.
How could he let a fool like Luo Xuzhang become the president of Guo Pai.
“Director Yang, what do you think I did that was inappropriate?” Luo Xuzhang asked.
As one of the three major platforms, Guo Pai had always been overbearing.
It wasn’t that Luo Xuzhang was stupid, but because he was used to being overbearing, he didn’t have the habit of admitting his mistakes.
Whoever disobeyed him would be banned.
It was simple, direct, and harsh.
Moreover, no one dared to say anything.
Even if they were dissatisfied or resentful, they couldn’t do anything to Guo Pai.
Therefore, Luo Xuzhang was also used to it. He never bowed his head.
Whenever something happened, he would deny it first.
After all, Guo Pai couldn’t be wrong.
Director Yang took a deep breath, he said, “Immediately get Guo Pai’s public relations department to draft a public notice and send it out. Just say that Guo Pai was wrong about this matter and properly admit our mistake. Don’t play any tricks on the wording and promise not to ban Guo Saisai. Immediately get the technology department to add a new function of not looking at TA.”
“I think the netizens’ suggestions are very good. By developing this and letting the netizens not look at Yuan Keqing, the drama “Moon Shines Over the River” can still be saved. The announcement must also emphasize this point, indicating that Guo Pai has always viewed and internalized the valuable opinions of the netizens.”
“You must be humble,” Director Yang said frostily. “You must be sincere in admitting your mistake. You have to convey my message well. If the announcement doesn’t meet my requirements, you will get lost!”
“I will do as you say,” Luo Xuzhang said hastily.
“Also, use your personal Weibo to send an apology statement. Apologize for banning Guo Saisai and negotiating terms with Tan Jinqi.”
