Chapter 1703: Chapter 831: Confronting Head-On (4,000 Words)_3

Especially on the set of "Killing Song," everyone was momentarily unsure of how to talk to Zhou Yun.

"Variety" came to the "Killing Song" crew for an interview, which was originally an important publicity activity for the show. The content of other people’s interviews was fine and normal; even Nakajima Hoto and Lew Xi unexpectedly received a lot of exposure due to this event.

For celebrity artists, interviews in an established magazine like "Variety" signify not only publicity but also a symbol of "status."

This is particularly true for non-Hollywood celebrity artists.

If you haven’t reached a certain level, why would they bother with you?

But at this time, Zhou Yun’s interview went wrong.

Not to mention other actors, even Mélando had a headache, and so did the publicity department of the "Killing Song" crew.

Now, more and more people online are criticizing "Variety" for its interview with the "Killing Song" due to Zhou Yun’s incident, to the extent that the crew doesn’t dare to cooperate with "Variety" to promote the interview video further.

As a result, the publicity activity agreed upon by both sides is almost completely inconsistent with expectations.

Actually, Mélando’s people are also very angry with "Variety." Why do you have to pull such a stunt in a good interview?

If "Variety" hadn’t questioned Zhou Yun in such an impolite, unfriendly, and aggressive manner, so many people wouldn’t have been angered.

The crucial point is, you clearly had such a big loss just before, and it hasn’t been long, yet you’re doing this again!

Zhou Yun has yet to make a statement on her social media, but her silence is actually a kind of statement. ℯ

Her fans, in this situation, erupted with an unexpected amount of power, pushing "Variety" into an extremely negative and terrible situation.

Mélando’s executives convened to discuss whether to continue the promotional cooperation between the movie and "Variety."

An influential movie company like Mélando certainly wouldn’t terminate cooperation with a magazine like "Variety."

However, Zhou Yun is the main actress of the "Killing Song," and she carries the main perspective of the female lead.

Now the relationship between Zhou Yun and this magazine, "Variety," is not just privately inhospitable but has torn to the public’s view.

In this situation, future promotions would undoubtedly add insult to injury.

Moreover, for this issue, how should Mélando Company and the "Killing Song" crew express their stance?

These are discussions to be had.

During the Mélando Company’s meeting, Mr. Brillanch also engaged in a very formal communication with Zhou Yun on behalf of Mélando.

For this communication, Zhou Lan flew over from home country.

"This time ’Variety’ indeed went too far. We’ve already expressed serious criticism and dissatisfaction to ’Variety’ on behalf of the crew. They’ve already apologized to us, explaining that this does not represent their stance, but is instead the personal emotions of the editor responsible for the interview. They have also seriously reprimanded the editor," Mr. Brillanch said sincerely.

Zhou Yun did not speak.

Zhou Lan shook her head firmly, "Mr. Brillanch, it’s not right to say so. Although the editor conducted the interview, the entire interview video was officially released by ’Variety’, right? As an entertainment news medium, anything they officially publish inevitably represents ’Variety’s official stance. Pushing everything onto one editor, I cannot accept."

Mr. Brillanch sighed.

"Of course, the truth is indeed so, but after all, this interview activity aimed to promote ’Killing Song,’ and we do not wish to sour relations with the other side."

"No problem, Mr. Brillanch, please proceed with collaborating with ’Variety’ for subsequent promotions; we won’t make any public comments, as this is our professional attitude," Zhou Lan said. "However, as for any future promotional activities related to ’Variety,’ we will not be cooperating or participating."

Mr. Brillanch: "Currently, Xiao Yun’s fans are all scolding ’Variety’ and condemning this interview activity. But actually, this wasn’t an interview activity with only Xiao Yun’s participation. It’s just that the current situation makes it hard for us to push others’ interviews."

"That’s your work with ’Variety.’ The trouble wasn’t caused by our side," Zhou Lan said directly, "Mr. Brillanch, if you want us to voice and appease the fans, I must say, this demand is too much. It even makes me question your sincerity toward Zhou Yun. If that’s the case, the cooperation on the second and third parts, we might also have to reconsider."

Today, I’m feeling quite unwell. Usually, I can finish typing quickly. This Chapter took me about four hours today.

Sigh.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
