Chapter 301 Certificate of Surrender

"Yes, are the results out?"

Zhang Siman was a little confused.

She and Yang Siwei are high school classmates. Their idols are both Wang Jinhua, and they both want to become a gold medal agent.

It’s just that Yang Siwei has always felt a little inferior because of her obesity, and she is also worried that she will not be able to keep up with the celebrity schedule.

It was not until some time ago that I mustered up the courage to apply for the job.

"It's fine if she wants to be an agent, but I feel like she's underemployed."

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"Give her a call and tell her I have something to discuss with her. She should understand."

Zhang Siman was even more confused, but she also knew that anything that Du Sheng was thinking about was probably not a trivial matter.

While dialing the phone, she subconsciously looked at her figure and muttered in her heart:
'Brother Sheng, are you tired of tall and long-legged girls and want to try a plump and greasy type?'

If Du Sheng knew what this girl was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would give her a dozen bananas.

He did have some thoughts about Yang Siwei.

But it never involves men and women.

Easy entertainment!

This company may not have been established yet, but in its previous life it was one of the top ten companies in the domestic entertainment industry.

The founder of this company is Yang Siwei.

She started out as Wang Jinhua's agent and later became Fan Bingbing's studio director.

At that time, Fan Bingbing was caught up in a whirlpool of scandals and was almost blackened by the entire Internet, with all kinds of solid evidence, photos and videos flying everywhere.

But with Yang Siwei's clever operation, the reputation was miraculously reversed.

Fan Bingbing’s domineering statement, “I don’t need a rich man, I am a rich man myself,” went viral.

Netizens also affectionately gave her a nickname - Fan Ye!
Fan Bingbing was able to remain strong and successful in the entertainment industry at that time, largely thanks to Yang Siwei's public relations skills.

Later, Yang Siwei became independent and founded Yixin Entertainment.

It has gathered many popular stars such as Li Xian, Zhu Yawen, Zhao Youting, Ma Yili, and Ma Siyang.

As the company grew bigger, people began to become curious about this plump girl.

As professionals dug deeper, her past deeds were exposed.

The most shocking thing is that she controls thousands of marketing accounts and claims that she can make anyone famous.

Even a pig can become a hot topic under her management and become a priceless internet celebrity.

This may be somewhat exaggerated, but it is enough to prove Yang Siwei's ability.

Now Du Sheng is trying to stir up public opinion again and make a big fuss about it.

Since Yang Siwei was right in the crosshairs, it would be unreasonable for him to remain indifferent.

Not long after, Zhang Siman gave a reply.

"Sheng...Brother Sheng, I'm Yang Siwei. I heard from Siman that you were looking for me?"

Yang Siwei held the phone with a bit of trepidation, feeling very anxious.

After all, they were smearing each other all over the Internet, and now the real culprit has come to their door, and no one would be at peace.

"Yes, you are currently working as an agent for a small entertainment company?"

Du Sheng was not in a hurry to get to the point, just to give the other party a buffer.

"No, I left that company some time ago."

Yang Siwei felt relieved when he saw that Du Sheng did not mention it:

"I now work part-time in my own media and write things online, which earns me 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.

By the way, please don’t tell Siman about this.”

At this point, she knew she would have to face it sooner or later, so she simply laid it out and said:

"You asked her to call, probably to ask about the 'plagiarism incident'?
This time, it was Fengxing Culture Company that placed the order with us, and all the black materials we used were provided by them.

As for whether there is someone behind the scenes, we don't know.

But we definitely did not discredit you, and everything the studio wrote was very fair.

But... you also understand that everyone has to make a living, and many things are beyond our control."

She also planned to intern with Wang Jinhua at Star Media, so even if she accepted the order, she would not dare to blackmail it.

Du Sheng smiled, not caring about it, and changed the subject and asked:

"How many people are there in your studio? How much can I earn from an order like mine?"

"Well, there are nine of us in total. We can earn 5 yuan from this order."

"It seems that the previous owner gave quite generously."

Du Sheng seemed a little surprised:

"Do you often get single orders in this line now?"

Although 3G networks are being laid out one after another, it is still not very convenient to access the Internet.

In his opinion, most of these self-media are still operating on a small scale.

Most of the time, I earn a few cents by helping others to push posts.

I didn't expect that such an order would be worth tens of thousands. This was a bit beyond Du Sheng's imagination.

When it comes to his major, Yang Siwei immediately becomes interested and starts talking nonstop:
"There are nine of us, with more than 180 accounts. If each post reaches views, Fengxing will give us yuan. If we also count the top posts...

In just these few days, our articles have generated over 3 million views.

In addition, we also set up a QQ group with thousands of people.

Although they are not professionals, they can generate considerable income by forwarding posts and impersonating others to muddy the waters.

In this way, earning 60,000 or 70,000 yuan is not too much. "

Du Sheng had underestimated the size of the navy before, and he felt a little sad:

"It starts with a picture, and the rest is all made up. This job is really easy to do part-time."

"There are some differences between us and those internet trolls. They still need to practice how to create hype in news."

Seeing that Yang Siwei was actually a little complacent, Du Sheng reminded her with a subtle thought:
"If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Be careful that you may be sued in court one day."

After all, the materials are provided by the upstream company, so it is difficult to tell whether there is deliberate smearing or slander, or even the truth from the false.

Once the parties involved get serious, they are likely to make a big fuss.

Half a year ago, Zhang Ziyi was slandered by a Hong Kong media outlet, accusing her of being kept by someone. In anger, she took the media outlet to court, and the newspaper went bankrupt soon after.

Yang Siwei had actually had this worry from the beginning, and said:

"Not long ago, a colleague of mine took on a piece of dirty laundry about Huang Xiaoming. Unexpectedly, the matter became a big deal and Huayi sued him. The court ordered him to pay 300,000 yuan in damages for reputation loss.

The guy broke down on the spot, crying and begging for mercy, but Huayi didn't buy it at all and now planned to sell the house to pay off the debt.

This incident has also sounded a wake-up call for me. It is best to stop this kind of smear campaign, otherwise sooner or later I will receive a court summons.”

Du Sheng slowly induced, adding: "Your part-time job may seem easy, but if something goes wrong one day, it's no joke.
Huang Xiaoming can earn millions from just one endorsement. If his reputation is damaged and he puts the blame on you, his peers, he will never be able to pay it back in his lifetime."

Yang Siwei began to feel uneasy again:
"But apart from this, we don't have any other better part-time ideas for the time being. We can't just disband the studio, right?"

She is currently studying directing, but in this industry, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to make a name for themselves.

So, I have been thinking about my future path recently.

As for the online water army, it is profitable as long as it is done.

However, most of the orders we have received so far are related to smear campaigns, libel campaigns, and impersonating fans, and we have not yet seen any other way to change our thinking.

Du Sheng saw that her "hype idea" was not yet fully mature, and said with a smile:

"In fact, there are many legal ways. For example, if you cooperate with us, Star Media, you can avoid breaking the law, and you can also..."

……

In a narrow rental house in Zhejiang Province.

Several young people were sitting in front of second-hand computers, busy typing on the keyboards.

The oldest of them was only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and the youngest looked less than twenty years old.

Yang Siwei leaned against the door and looked at him, responding with a complicated look:
"I'll think about it carefully."

Du Sheng knew what she was worried about and said meaningfully:

"You can call me any time before tonight."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Sheng. I will discuss it with them."

"Siwei, who called just now? We talked for so long."

Yang Siwei had just put down his phone when Liu Shaojun, who was sitting by the door, asked curiously.

"Du Sheng!"

"Clap!"

Everyone was shocked and all eyes turned to Yang Siwei.

"He's not going to sue us!"

Liu Shaojun swallowed nervously and asked worriedly.

For these cyber trolls, this is the situation they fear the most.

Once you get involved in a lawsuit, you won’t be able to pay the compensation even if you sell your house or mortgage it, and you may even face the risk of going to jail.

"no!"

Yang Siwei shook his head and was silent for a moment, but decided to tell Du Sheng about the cooperation he mentioned.

"It is not good?"

Xu Shao, who was in charge of one of the teams, was surprised:

"Change jobs quickly if you have the chance, haven't you always wanted to work at Interstellar Media?

You can just make a name for yourself there first, and then help us in the future."

Yang Siwei smiled dumbly and said:
"I put a lot of effort into this, do you think you can just leave like that?

Besides, if I leave, you guys might get into chaos.”

"There is no security at all now, and I don't know how long it will last."

Liu Shaojun thought for a moment and said:

"Didn't Zhuo Wei, the boss of Fengxing Culture, say last week that he wanted to recruit us?
Instead of hanging out with him, it’s better to cooperate with Star Media.

At least you are more familiar with Du Sheng, so if something goes wrong, he won't throw us all out."

"Let me think about it again."

Yang Siwei did not make a decision immediately.

Zhuowei did extend an olive branch, but it was only a peripheral cooperative relationship.

The monthly salary is calculated based on a base salary of 1 yuan plus commission. Fengxing Culture is responsible for taking on business orders, while they are responsible for the rough work downline.

If anything goes wrong, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Fengxing Culture will not spend any money or effort on the lawsuit.

As for why they didn't agree to Du Sheng directly, it was because Star Media didn't have a special department suitable for them.

Even if they joined, it probably wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people, and it might even become a burden.

However, her current behavior is not enough to sell out her teammates.

"Why hesitate? Isn't he still waiting for your reply?"

Xu Shao urged.

Seeing that everyone had a clear inclination, Yang Siwei gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, let me ask."

"Have you figured it out?"

Du Sheng smiled slightly, not seeming surprised.

"Will your Star Media set up a department to deal with public opinion and hype?"

"So, your people agree to change the track?"

"Yes."

"Then come all over. I just talked to Sister Hua and the others, and I also think it is necessary to set up a public opinion department..."

Du Sheng gave a direct affirmative answer.

If what Yang Siwei said was true, they have more than 60 media accounts and hundreds of subordinates, which is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

More than a hundred media accounts, each with at least tens of thousands of followers, what does this mean?
As long as Star Media is willing to invest resources and use this force to guide public opinion.

Within a few days, Du Sheng was able to get at least three million exposures.

This is much better than the company's regular publicity.

What's more, Yang Siwei's abilities are more than just that.

Rather than leaving such a general to waste away, it is better to add bricks and tiles to his "Heroes and Heroes" accessories.

Yang Siwei also breathed a sigh of relief, put down his phone and smiled at the people who were looking forward to seeing him:
"Star Media will set up a public opinion department, and I will temporarily serve as the deputy director."

"That's great!"

Xu Shao and others were overjoyed.

This means that Interstellar Media values ​​them.

And from now on, with this big tree to shelter us from wind and rain, we won’t have to worry anymore.

Yang Siwei pressed his hands and said slowly:
"You all know the public pressure that Brother Sheng is facing right now.

There are several parties behind the scenes manipulating and smearing this!

We have an important mission tonight. We need to submit our loyalty and cooperate with Star Media to fight a good battle..."
