……

Before Cao Yifang came here, he had heard a lot of things about the water army's control of public opinion, of course, he knew many things, but the more he knew, the more curious he became about this organization that was testing on the edge of the law.

There is no doubt that the profession of the Internet water army has not benefited or created anything, and this profession takes pleasure in fooling the people and makes profits by fabricating lies, and is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the Internet age.

As far as he knew before, most of them were low-level laborers who did not learn and did not know how to do it, posting part-time, registering zombie accounts to brush fans, etc.

In his imagination, most of the sailor team leaders who make profits from this should be uncles with big bellies, bald and greasy, or raunchy young men, but the image and temperament of the woman named Russell in front of him are very different from his imagination.

Russell is very bookish.

After a few brief pleasantries, Cao was ushered into the house, a two-bedroom home that is said not to be Russell's personal residence, but to her personal studio.

She is the only one in the studio.

The decoration of the whole house is classical and elegant, there is not even a sofa, all of them are similar to the classical model of imitation mahogany furniture, there is a long table in the living room, on which there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there are several calligraphy couplets on the wall.

"Mr. Cao's situation. ”

Seeing that Cao Fang was looking up at the couplet on the wall, Russell smiled: "Is Mr. Cao also interested in calligraphy?"

Cao Fang looked up at the words, put his hands behind his back, and Ling Ran looked like a master: "Well, when I was in elementary school, I also won the third prize in the campus calligraphy competition." ”

"Poof. Russell chuckled: "Mr. Cao is so humorous. ”

Lu Jingzhen is obviously familiar with the road here, I don't know how many times I have been here before, Russell has a Chartres cat at home, it seems to be pregnant, Lu Jingzhen ran to tease the cat by himself, and took out a small laser light from somewhere.

Cao Yifang and Russell entered her workshop, Russell seemed to be proficient in the tea ceremony, made a whole set of tea utensils decently, and then chatted with Cao Yifang while cooking tea.

Time is as expensive as gold, Cao Fang didn't have the patience to savor it, and as soon as he sat down, he told Russell about his requirements.

"Can it be done?"

"It's a gesture. ”

"What about the cost?"

"It's free. ”

Cao Fang was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Oh, do you still have a experience service?" Do you want me to scan a QR code to add a >?" said with a smile. Seeing that he didn't have the heart to taste tea, Russell stopped what he was doing, put down the teacup, and said with a gentle smile: "I do long-term business, of course, I have to have the eye to distinguish partners...... Mr. Cao's request this time is too simple, and the fee is only a small order of tens of thousands of yuan, but since you came here in person, I think what you want should be more than just this service. ”

"Yes. Cao Fangfang has not yet learned to play tricks, and has something to say: "I have encountered a lot of things recently, I want to ...... There will often be a need for similar services in the future, so I would like you to give me an introduction, what are the types of businesses on your side?"

"To put it simply, what we do ...... It is the control of public opinion throughout the country. ”

Russell's tone was understated, but it was thunderous: "It is said that media reporters are the uncrowned kings, but the times are changing, and in the information age of the 21st century, it is not only the major media that can control public opinion and carry out public opinion-oriented control." ”

"Tell me the truth about the damnation of God......"

Russell's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and the smile is just right, like a classical beauty in an ink painting: "We are the will of the people." ”

……

This conversation was uneventful.

Ten minutes later, Cao Fang wandered around her studio for a while, and saw that there were many books on the shelves that she was very familiar with, all of which were social science books, in addition to economics and psychology.

"General Psychology, Personality Psychology, Social Psychology......" Cao Fangfang's hand brushed over the titles of the books: "These are all professional textbooks, you used to be a student of the Department of Psychology?"

"No, I went to Communication University, majoring in journalism and communication. ”

Russell stood behind him: "This department will be exposed to some psychology content, but I read these books mainly because of interest. ”

"Oh...... Then your interests and work are closely combined. Cao Fang took out a copy of "The Rabble" and flipped through it.

"Mr. Cao, are you also interested in these books?" Russell looked really curious, Cao Fang's performance today was not at all like what she had learned from other channels.

"I've seen it before, and then I threw it away. Cao Fangfang said lightly: "Now that I have lost a lot of useful knowledge, I plan to pick it up again, re-read it, and recall it." ”

Russell hurriedly said: "In this case, Mr. Cao, you can pick a few copies and bring them back." ”

Cao Fang was not polite to her at all, knowing that Russell just wanted to increase the stickiness with customers, so he didn't say a word, turned his head and asked, "Is there a bag? ”

……

The timeline goes back to the present.

There are all kinds of jokes and stalks about Qiu Pi's eggs on the Internet, and this kind of artificially manipulated public opinion guidance has led the whole fight incident into a strange way.

Cao's criminal violence was downplayed, and another type of online violence was followed by something extremely bad for Qiu Pi.

The name of this violence is called insult.

Russell's service to Cao Yifang is not just a simple and rude way to let dozens of team leaders pull people to post, her real ability lies in the positioning and planning of netizens' psychology, and then writing copywriting and precise guidance.

She told Cao Fangfang.

"Everyone thinks that there is enough information and enough choices to liberate human free will like never before. ”

"Actually, everyone lives in a dream. ”

Cao Yifang learned a lot through this conversation, and he is not very clear about the truth in the entertainment industry. Of course, Russell is a very professional person, and she will not reveal the specific events of the client, but only popularize common sense in a general and vague way.

For example, almost 90% of the scandals that are not serious or serious are disclosed by the artists themselves, and they spend a lot of money to hype them.

The entertainment industry is now the main front of her business, because of "safety." ”

What she and her comrades-in-arms did in the past even caused a listed company to evaporate tens of billions of assets in a day.

As for the Tao in the entertainment industry, it is much more relaxed and happy, which stars tear each other apart, and the trumpets are exposed, basically acting, and Russell is responsible for adding fuel to the fire, making everyone a little hot.

But other than that, the real attack on each other is much worse.

"For example, if you're a clean, spotless entertainer. If someone wants to make you uncomfortable, as long as you give us enough honorarium, I will start with the planning of the plan, contact the relevant media, paparazzi, and even send people to fabricate evidence, and this evidence seems to be real and credible. ”

"There is no such thing as cleansing oneself here. ”

"The direction and controversy of speech are often just a war between multiple media outlets and several waves of trolls, and have nothing to do with the free will of netizens, they just think they are thinking and following. ”

The amount of information Cao Fang heard in those ten minutes was beyond his imagination, and some insiders seriously impacted his three views and made him very insecure.

The Code of Conduct has also begun to be amended.

In the next few days, Cao Yifang locked himself up and read and think seriously, trying to pick up all kinds of knowledge he had learned in his previous life and later left behind.

He began to plan his own personality, arranging how to improve his popularity in a short period of time, and obtaining various network resources by the way.

There are undercurrents in the outside world, and Chen Yaman has been delivering bad news, such as the advertisers who have extended an olive branch before have the intention of backing down, and they are worried that Cao's uncontrollable temper will affect the reputation of the brand.

With this retreat, Cao's direct loss may exceed 10 million.

Qiu Pi's nurse has also taken action, and the previous TV series that have extended an olive branch are the same, their collective retreat, and the reason given to Chen Yaman is nothing more than ...... The protagonist has already been chosen, the budget has been cut, please don't move Cao's side, or the role is not suitable, etc.

Yang Yiyun's connections allowed her to easily draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, disgusting Cao Fangfang, and venting her anger for Qiu Pi.

It's just disgusting for her, and it means a huge loss for Cao Fang...... Although he didn't want to take on those dramas, this may lead to other dramas that can be watched for a period of time in the future, and it will be difficult to talk about them.

Now the only situation that Cao Fang can control is Russell's stumbling block under the Internet, Qiu Pi has a good face, if he continues to insist on suing him for intentional injury, the joke on the Internet will be implemented, he can't accept it in his heart, so he can't do it, and it all depends on Yang Yiyun's black hand to get angry for him.

Qiu Pi obviously wanted to try to stink Cao's side, but Russell has rich experience in this area, and the war of the navy also attaches great importance to the first move, Russell's first move is to "set the tone", and the whole incident has become funny and obscene, which has hit the vulgar high point of netizens, so Qiu Pi has no power to return to the sky.

The formal media simply did not mix.

There was no movement from other insiders, only one Miao Yingsong, who sprayed on the Internet all day long, Qiu Pi and Cao Fang didn't help anyone, and all beings sprayed equally, but seeing that no one paid attention to him, he shifted his position, and began to spray a famous Beijing Sishao on the Internet in a recent activity similar to a Haitian feast.

Cao Fangfang didn't pay attention to it at first, but later found out that Jiang Zijian, the fourth young man in the capital who had always been hot-tempered, had never returned the favor.

He didn't think much about it, just out of curiosity, called Russell and asked her if she knew what Miao Yingsong's background was.

So he was shocked.

Other than that, the offline situation is clear.

A certain senior executive of Huasheng, who is also one of the producers of Longmen, found Chen Yaman to discuss asking Cao Yifang to make up the last scene, and after Chen Yaman told him, Cao Yifang immediately agreed.

That scene was very simple, Cao Fang took a lot of effort to complete it with Qiu Pi's stand-in in the best state, Qiu Pi did not appear, which was also expected.

Then he fell into a downtime.

In general, this contradiction must have been the Cao side that suffered, and he had already taken the blame for the blood mold, and his impulsiveness paid a heavy price, and because of this, Lin Chunxi, a woman, was also put on the gray list by him.

It was already like this, with 800 enemy injuries and 1,000 self-losses, and his most important job at the moment was to reflect and plan a new route, and according to Chen Yaman's words, he should make a fire as soon as possible, so as not to fall into a more difficult predicament.

There is no absolute enemy in reality, and even if there is, he can't do anything to Qiu Pi now, he can only leave it to be solved later, or just keep a suitable distance, and the mountains and rivers will not meet from now on, and now swallow this breath first.

However, Cao Fang would never have imagined that there were two insignificant stupid people who were about to join forces to send him a small gift that could be angry.

……

Ye Songhua is a dark, thin and short girl.

She is one of the northern drifters who came to the capital to work in a remote mountain village, living in an illegal shared house, and the private activity space is basically only the size of a bed, but she is smart, willing to fight, full of energy, and has no bottom line, and now she is in a gossip >The title of the position is a marketing specialist, but he is actually an unlicensed journalist, that is, a paparazzi.

The kind with the lowest grade, who doesn't understand anything, is still a little clever.

"Sister Rongrong, why don't you use it?" In the coffee shop in the afternoon, she sat with an editor-in-chief sister in the studio, with a small black face, full of resentment and doubt.

Huang Rongrong is one of the partners of this gossip public account, and used to be a capable reporter of Southern Entertainment Weekly, but because of the too many constraints of domestic regular newspapers and periodicals, he chose to engage in online self-media with weak supervision.

She is a veteran industry journalist, well-connected and knows the rules.

The middle-aged woman, who had a little fortune, pushed the camera back and asked lightly, "How did you get this photo?"

Ye Songhua's eyes rolled, and he still felt that he was half telling the truth: "I know Bai Si'an, she has been with Qiu Pi recently, she asked me to wait there to shoot, she wants to be popular." ”

The other half of the truth is that Bai Si'an didn't let her take out the photos now.

She and Bai Si'an have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as the kind of friends who are not salty or light. Bai Si'an just wants to keep a hand now, if Qiu Pi has not given him the filming opportunities arranged, she will simply expose her relationship with him, claiming to be Qiu Pi's real girlfriend or something, rubbing a wave of popularity, and becoming popular by scandals.

Originally, the celebrity parking lot was photographed or something, and nine out of ten people revealed the news, otherwise it would be so easy to photograph.

But Bai Si'an, who thought he was smart, didn't expect to be sold by this "reporter friend" in a blink of an eye.

Then Ye Songhua, who thought he was smart, didn't expect that his photos would not be taken at all.

Huang Rongrong is a good person, and he is willing to explain to her: "To be honest, Qiu Pi kissing a woman is not hot at all." Besides, for so many years, everyone knows that Qiu Pi's private life is inappropriate, but the media has exposed very little, which makes sense, many people feel that the material is not strong enough anyway, and because of Yang Yiyun's face, they simply don't want it. ”

She paused and said with a smile: "And I have a good relationship with Yang Yiyun, so there's no need." ”

Ye Songhua left the café with a broken head, her camera around her neck and her rucksack, looking like a student who had traveled here on a poor journey.

After leaving, she called another colleague, complained, and said: "I changed Ming'er to run a newspaper office, and there are other gossip from the media! I don't believe that no one buys it!"

Then she asked again: "Hey, are there any hot spots that can be chased recently...... I can't pay the rent next month, and the rent in the capital has risen a lot recently......"

I didn't know what the other party said, so she said to herself, "Hmm...... Okay, anyway, I'm close to the shooting spot, where did you say the address of the hotel where Cao Yifang lived? Uh-huh, okay!"

It can be seen here that this girl is really not in the industry now, and the paparazzi with a little skill all know that Cao Fangfang's line has nothing to chase now, the conflict between him and Qiu Pi is over, everyone has already left the crew, and they are still chasing a yarn?

But she didn't think so, she just heard that Cao Fang hadn't returned to Jianghai City yet, and it seemed that he had stopped working in the hotel recently, so she thought she could go and try it.

In addition to this job in the studio, she also has Weibo herself, and often updates some entertainment gossip on it, dreaming of becoming an Internet celebrity one day.

She thought that Cao Fang still had attention anyway, so she took some photos casually, and when the time came, she would say a few nonsense, saying that he looked sad, the crew didn't pay because of this contradiction, and he couldn't afford to live in a hotel or something like that, there should be someone who wants to watch it, right?

Just do it.

Although Sister Rong Rong also reminded her that some celebrities in the circle are very unkind to the paparazzi, and Cao Yifang is also on the list of high-risk elements, but she is young! She thinks that no matter how crazy Cao Fang is, she will never do anything to such a cute girl as herself.

And she analyzed that Cao Fang no longer dared to move his hands and feet after this battle.

Ye Songhua only squatted at the door for one day, and Lady Luck illuminated her.

It's a starry night, and the full moon shines brightly, and the visibility is excellent.

She was doing it alone, and she was sucking instant noodles in the van when she looked up and happened to see two dark shadows coming out of the hotel door in the distance.

The two are of similar height, but her eyesight is amazing, and she can recognize it at a glance, the one wearing a black hoodie and slightly longer hair is Cao Fangfang!

He didn't even wear a hat!

Looks...... It's not haggard, it looks like he's in a good mood.

The two didn't drive, they walked along the street as if they were wandering, there was not a commercial area nearby, and there were relatively few people coming and going, as if Cao Fang was not worried about being recognized.

Ye Songhua drove to follow, far behind.

It didn't take long for the two of them to turn around and enter the alley, Ye Songhua took a look, it seemed to be a small street where nightclubs and bars gathered, she was suddenly so excited, her brain made up all kinds of explosives, and she didn't care if she could park on the side of the road, she stopped and followed up first!

I rushed in with my camera, but I didn't see the two figures.

After walking a few steps, she was anxious and excited to see that there were rotating colorful light boxes around her, and some hair salon girls opened the door and stood at the entrance of the store to smoke, and there were many bars faintly noisy not far away!

What about people?!

As a result, as soon as she accelerated and ran, a figure suddenly appeared on the dark path next to her, suddenly blocking in front of her!

Hurriedly stopped, but fortunately he didn't bump into it, Ye Songhua looked up......

I'm going!Avalokiteshvara?!

Oh no!

Someone patted her on the shoulder, Ye Songhua was like a frightened bird, and hurriedly turned her head, only to see Cao Fangfang, who had just washed her hair, standing in front of her with a smile.

Recently, he may not have had time to get a haircut, his hair has grown a little, and the hair that has just been washed and blown is slightly fluffy, covering his forehead, Cao Fang has a smile on his mouth, but his eyes have no temperature, and he is cold and lazy poked there, which suddenly gives people a lot of pressure.

"Cao ......" Ye Songhua's mind was instantaneous, and he just wanted to speak.

Cao Fangfang suddenly made a shocked expression, and looked down at Ye Songhua's feet: "Hey, you stepped on shit!"

How good his acting skills are, so good that you don't even have time to think about the absurdity of his reaction, you have already instinctively made the action of looking down: "Huh?

Then the pressure on his neck was light, Ye Songhua had a bad heart, and found that the camera hanging on his neck had been taken by Cao Fang.

She suddenly exploded, and was about to rush up and grab it: "What are you doing! Give me back the camera!"

Jia Chao immediately dodged over, blocked between the two, and let Ye Songhua's small fist beat, anyway, he wouldn't let it.

Cao Fangfang has already begun to look at the photos taken in the camera, "Jia Chao, I remember that the camera can recover the photos that can be deleted by simply deleting the camera now, right?"

Ye Songhua was instantly angry: "I didn't take anything! Why did you delete my photos!"

Cao Fang didn't bother to pay attention to her at all.

Jia Chao replied: "There are many ways, but the easiest is to remove the memory card after deletion. ”

"Oh. Cao Fang nodded, and then complained while watching: "Sister, your level of photography is very straight, five out of ten are paste, and there are ...... Huh?"

Ye Songhua couldn't get by, the man with squinting eyes in front of him reacted too quickly, flashing and flashing, pushing and pushing,

She thought of the precious photos in her machine, and immediately went crazy: "Help! robbery, help!"

Cao Fang took two steps back, turned his face against the wall, looked carefully at the photos above, and said casually: "You call it that, someone in this kind of place cares about you and I lose." ”

Ye Songhua turned his head and looked around, there were people, but they didn't seem to be good people...... And one by one they were all watching the show, and no one planned to pay attention to it at all, so they planned to change their strategy and shout something else, such as Cao Fang beating someone or something......

As a result, Cao Fang suddenly walked back, bent down slightly, and looked at himself with a smile.

Looking at this handsome face that was close at hand, Ye Songhua was suddenly stunned again.

Cao Fangfang was really smiling this time, and the smile was moistened to the bottom of his eyes, it was ......

It's so fascinating......

This dangerous and fascinating ......

"Hey, little sister, I don't have to delete your photos. Cao Fang turned his face sideways, half bright and half shadowy in the moonlight, "Shall we talk about a deal?"

"What, what business?" Ye Songhua was a little overwhelmed.

Cao Fang looked at Jia Chao and turned his gaze back, it seemed that he was really happy, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Ye Songhua's face, he smiled so much that he showed a whole row of upper teeth, and there were laugh lines at the corners of his eyes.

Cultivating into essence like a hybrid born of a wolf and a fox, this is probably what it looks like.

“so cute……”
