Chapter 211 The Publicity Stunt
Elliot didn't stay in the hospital for a long time and left soon.
Lara went home with Erin and Sophia's company, and she needed to lie low before the dust had settled.
The video was still a trending topic online. Erin's assistants spent lots of money, but they failed to remove the hot research and delete the video, so naturally they were scolded by Lara when they came back.
In this way, more people hated Lara.
"She made a trouble herself, but now she blames us! What the f*ck!"
"Yeah. Couldn't she behave herself since she is an actress? She was defeated when she fought with Clarissa, and she was even photographed and the video was posted on the Internet. How silly she is!"
"We are so unlucky to do public relations for her. This month, she has become hot searches three or four times because of what she has done, right? Could she live with a certain decorum?"
"She did whatever she wanted, but she put pressure on us when something bad happens. We are just ordinary people, but not god. We spent money but it still remains a trending topic. What could we do?"
"Right.."
Not only them, but netizens also got bored with Lara because she always became the hot research these days, and they were no longer curious.
Except for Lara's true fans, others had worse impressions of her.
"What's wrong with Lara? She has become hot searches several times this month! Every time I log in Weibo, I see her news!"
"It must be the publicity stunt for her comeback! Last time, it was said that she had bad acting skills, and now it is said that she beats others. I'm wondering what the next news will be about."
"It couldn't be! Who would hype with a bunch of dirt?"
"You know what? The more severely people scold her, the more attention she will get. When she becomes famous again, she just needs to whitewash herself."
"To be honest, although I was not Lara's fan in the past, at least I didn't hate her. Even when she was tainted with scandals before the Spring Festival, I never attacked her. But after seeing this news, I've completely become her anti-fan."
"Me too."
"You guys know nothing! Lara was framed! There were so many people on the set. As long as Lara was not stupid, she wouldn't beat people there. Can you be more sesible?"
"Tut, her silly fan still tries to speak for her! I think we are sensible, but you're blind."
"That's right. The video has been filmed! Do you think you can improve her innocence?"
"......"
People argued with each other online. At first, Lara's fans insisted on speaking for Lara, but as time passed by, they could no longer control the situation.
After all, many netizens who used to have good impressions of Lara also joined the battle and they were efficient. Her fans had no way to talk back.
Some of her number-one fans became anxious, and they sent massages to Lara on Weibo, hoping to get her explanation.
But Lara didn't reply to them.
Her silence made this group of fans who were protecting her more worried. But in just a few days, many fans were moved and finally became her anti-fans.
Two days later, the first trailer of "Cannon Fodder Strategy" was released by the official account of the crew.
The trailer only lasted for one minute, but it included the most brilliant parts of the drama. It was cool and stupendous. As the leading actress, Clarissa's performance was remarkable.
Her costumes and make-up was perfect, and her acting skills were domineering and eye-catching.
As soon as the trailer was released, it immediately attracted countless people's attention.
As the leading actor and the leading actress, Dorian and Clarissa naturally reposted this video.
Originally, this drama was lesser-known. But thanks to Clarissa and Lara's scandals during this period of time, this small-budget online TV drama became a trending topic. When the trailer was broadcast, hundreds of millions of people watched it.
Even Alvin was surprised with this achievement.
He finally understood why Clarissa refused to improve her innocence so quickly and had to wait until the drama was broadcast.
Because once she told the truth, people would no longer pay attention to this matter and this drama wouldn't be a hot topic anymore.
At that time, even if the trailer of "Cannon Fodder Strategy" was released, no one would be interested in it.
Although this method was a bit wicked, this was the entertainment circle. Sometimes, people could not get famous just by their strength, and luck and means were also very important.
After staying at the bottom of this circle for more than ten years, Alvin understood this better than anyone else.
He was no longer worried about the popularity of the drama.
But he felt guilt for Clarissa. After all, the drama couldn't become so famous without Clarissa's scandals.
Thinking like this, Alvin called Clarissa.
That day, Clarissa finally had a day off. At Anderson's request, she did not stay in the crew, but went back to Estdal Manor.
At this time, she was lying on a deck chair in the garden, eating fruit while reading a book casually.
Anderson did not go to work specially, staying at home to accompany her.
Hearing her mobile phone ringing, he glanced at the caller ID on it.
Before Clarissa picked it up, he took the phone and pressed the answer button.
Alvin's laughter came from the phone, "Clarissa, what are you doing?"
Anderson's face darkened.
Clarissa?
Ha! He called her quite affectionately!
Anderson felt a bit jealous and said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
On the phone, Alvin didn't expect that it was not Clarissa who answered the phone. He was startled when he suddenly heard a deep male voice.
He didn't realize who it was until several seconds later.
He became nervous, and he immediately said in a serious voice, "Mr. Jordan?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Anderson really didn't bother to talk to him.
It was a waste of time!
He had been away from Clarissa for two months and finally had the opportunity to get along with her alone in a romantic atmosphere. How could Alvin be so unwise and call her at this time?
Alvin, who was unwise, felt the annoyance in his tone, and immediately became wise.
"Nothing... I just called her to greet her. Bye..."
After speaking, he hung up in a hurry.
Only then did Anderson put the phone away with satisfaction and hand it to Clarissa.
He said with a smiling face, "Honey, it was a call from Alvin. He had nothing important, and I answered the phone for you."
Clarissa rolled her eyes at him, feeling a little speechless.
"Why did you scare him?"
She wasn't stupid, and she knew that Anderson deliberately put on a gloomy face and spoke in a deep voice just now.
Anderson was a little awkward and didn't explain. Seeing that it was time for meal, he said, "It's almost time for lunch. Let's go in."
Clarissa nodded, and they got up and went to the dinning room together.
After lunch, Clarissa received a call from Millie and was told that she had received lots of messages on Weibo.
Clarissa was somewhat surprised.
She usually used her Weibo account to deal with official business, so she asked Millie to run her account when she was in the crew.
