Chapter 218: Helpless
Kim Kwang-so hurriedly went out to arrange the press conference, leaving TAR and the others staring at each other.
"Ernie, is this going to work?" Xian Enjing asked Li Juli uneasily.
Although Curie is not the oldest member of the team, her consistent image has made her the most influential person in TARA, and everyone is willing to consult her about anything.
"I don't know, I always feel that such a hasty clarification doesn't seem to be good" Li Juli frowned and muttered: "But now there is no better way, you can only take one step at a time"
"Isn't it useless for me to clarify in person?" Park Ji-yeon shouted in disbelief.
In her opinion, this kind of thing is good to say it clearly in person, don't people believe the words of the person concerned, and will believe the anonymous slander that I don't know where it came from?
"It's not like this Ji-yeon!" Quan Baolan groaned: "This kind of thing will not have an effect if you deny it, how can others know if what you say is true or false?" It's hard to believe without evidence, and even if there is evidence, some people will think it's fake."
"How so? Can't this reputation be washed away? Park Ji-yeon felt incredulous and asked helplessly.
This can't be blamed for her naivety, she is not very old, and she is confused by the glamorous appearance of the entertainment industry, so she doesn't know the sinister at all.
Quan Baolan replied in a deep voice: "It is not unreasonable that artists are most afraid of negative news such as scandals and rumors. It's like someone else splashing a basin of dirty water, no matter how you clean it, the image of the dirty water splashed on your body has been ruined. Even if you take a shower and change your clothes, the look of the wolf bèi has been firmly remembered"
As a third-generation acting family, Jeon Baolan has a deeper understanding of the dangers in it, so Kim Kwang-so's arrangement is very inappropriate in her opinion. How can people believe such a hasty denial that is itself suspected of being wrong, and then without any convincing evidence? You must know that people are naturally inclined to be weak, and glamorous stars obviously do not belong to the weak in their eyes.
"So what now? Should I go or not go to the press conference? ”
Park Ji-yeon was told by the two that the six gods had no master, and she grabbed Park So-yeon beside her and cried helplessly.
"Ernie, don't scare Ji-yeon, she's going to cry." Park So-yeon hugged Park Ji-yeon and complained distressedly.
Li Juli smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zhiyan, let's just say this, maybe things aren't so complicated"
"Yes, yes, I sometimes think things in complicated directions, and Ernie apologizes to you. Since the president has arranged this way, he should have his intentions, and he knows these things better than us," Quan Baolan hurriedly echoed, knowing that it was really not good to continue to increase her psychological burden at this time.
The obviously perfunctory words of the two made Park Ji-yeon's heart even heavier, but in order not to let Ernie worry about pretending to be persuaded, she tried her best to show a sad smile, and Baolan and the others looked at each other and sighed lightly.
Kim Kwang-so's response may have been hasty, but it can't be said to be wrong.
When there is a scandal with an artist, the company responds immediately and denies it, and most companies will do so. Kim Kwang-so also knew that Park Ji-yeon was framed by someone, and it was not so easy to clarify, so he also had some mental preparations.
But I didn't expect things to develop so quickly!
Later that day, CCM President Kim Kwang-so held a press conference, and in front of many media, Park Ji-yeon tearfully denied the '**** incident', and Kim Kwang-so severely condemned those who fabricated the facts, indicating his intention to pursue legal responsibility.
These common tactics obviously do not carry enough weight in the eyes of the media, and everyone is not satisfied with such an understatement of clarification. TARA, which has carried a lot of attention since its debut, has now happened to such an incident, and of course the reporters will not just forget it.
Among them, several reporters crackled at Park Ji-yeon, a 17-year-old girl, with all kinds of harsh words and sharp questions. Overestimating her own endurance, she broke down at the press conference and cried.
And this scene was maliciously misinterpreted by the media as shame.
The next day, newspapers and magazines sided with Park Ji-yeon, and only the Culture Publishing House, which had worked with her, remained neutral. In such a public opinion environment, TARA has been unable to work normally. Kim Kwang-so impulsively stopped TARA's acting trip out of protection, which seems to confirm the rumors of CCM's lack of heart.
From the beginning of their debut, the six girls who had been spinning in a row were forced to rest and stay in the dormitory with a sad brow.
"What now, Ernie!" Park Hyo-min, who was sullen, asked Li Juli aggrievedly.
"I can't help it, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing"
Why don't those people believe it? It's already been said that it has nothing to do with me! Park Ji-yeon's eyes were swollen like peaches, and she complained with teary eyes.
She doesn't understand why people don't want to believe in themselves, and those fans who used to keep saying that they would always support them will scold them in the blink of an eye, and they won't listen to any explanation.
"Hey—don't be sad, people will forget about it after a while" Quan Baolan sighed, the things involved were very complicated, she knew it in her heart, but it was difficult to explain, and she couldn't explain it clearly.
How can a girl who has just turned 17 understand that the world is difficult and the heart is sinister?
"Is there no way?" Park So-yeon jumped up from the sofa in annoyance, waving her hands and longing to fight with someone: "Let outsiders slander Ji-yeon?" ”
Xian Enjing stretched out her hand and pulled her: "Zhaoyan, don't worry, we all feel sorry for Zhiyan, but no matter how much we say, others can't help it if they don't believe it."
"Then just wait for things to be forgotten now?"
Xian Enjing was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became solemn for a while.
Quan Baolan was secretly anxious in her heart, and if she didn't wait for others to defeat TARA, they would collapse first. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and persuaded him:
"Don't worry, I believe the president is trying to figure out a way. Everyone has to have some confidence, we can't mess with ourselves at this time."
Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and their expressions relaxed.
"Ernie, I'm not arguing with Eun Jing" Park So-yeon smiled embarrassedly:
"It's just that I'm in too much of a hurry, and there's no way to go on like this!" After speaking, he glanced apologetically at Xian Enjing: "I'm sorry, Enjing!" ”
Xian Enjing waved his hand to show understanding: "Everyone is very anxious, but the more anxious you are, the more you can't mess up, otherwise won't you add chaos to chaos?" ”
Everyone nodded in unison, like a flock of pecking chickens.
"Baolan, why don't you give Chengxian Oba a call and see if he has a way?" Li Juli said suddenly.
"That's right!" Park Hyomin's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in surprise: "Oba, maybe there is a way!" ”
Everyone looked at Quan Baolan, and her eyes were warm and she felt at a loss: "What can Oba do, and he is busy with concerts in Japan, isn't it okay to disturb him at this time?" ”
"How do you know without asking, he's a great writer with a much better brain than us! Maybe he thought of what we didn't expect? Park Hyo-min said with a grin, looking very confident.
"Ernie—" Park Ji-yeon cried out pitifully, and now she could only be a dead horse as a horse doctor.
Everyone's blazing eyes made Quan Baolan unable to resist, and helplessly took out his mobile phone: "Okay, okay, I'll ask him!" (To be continued.) )
