"Brother Tian, did you see the Yiguo platform news I just forwarded to you?
"The current online public opinion... is very bad. ”
On the evening of February 9th, Dongjiang Hotel.
Shang Chaotian answered the phone on speakerphone while watching the sharp and even harsh comments about Rui Zhao’s war in Yiguo News. Comment.
In fact, all this was expected by the Chess Association - the reason why Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie carefully concealed the news was because they understood that Rui Zhao's appearance in the Nongshim Cup would affect the public opinion in the entire circle.
However, now that the negative public opinions are coming, the leaders of the Chess Association are inevitably suffocated.
“...I heard that some extreme fans of Lin Ruixin reported the fact that we gave the wild card to Rui Zhao to the General Administration, saying that there was a secret operation.
“In addition There are also some excited Dongjiang chess fans who said they would come to Dongjiang Hotel early tomorrow morning to protest..."
"Don't worry about them! Let’s finish the competition first! "
Shang Chaotian interrupted the deputy in a deep voice:
"Anyway, Rui Zhao has already stayed in the hotel now! I have already made an agreement with the hotel tomorrow to help seal off some relevant floors. No idlers without relevant documents are allowed to approach.
"They love to report. Report, love to protest, even if the sky falls, I will compare tomorrow’s game first! "
"But... we may always have to respond. "
Lu Wenjie's voice was still full of worry:
"You also know that some of Lin Ruixin's fans have always been a bit extreme. After they found out about it, they spread it on Weibo!
"Even...Lin Ruixin himself just posted a weird Weibo post. I just asked him to delete it, but in his new post, there are fans who are taking the lead..."
Shang Chaotian frowned more and more. He suppressed his temper and opened Weibo, taking a look at the latest news of his reigning chess master:
[Coordinated in Dongjiang, what are you going to eat tonight? 】
This post is ordinary and there is nothing wrong with it, but the top comment below is already a bit hard to read:
[Everyone in the comment area dare not read it. Let me put it bluntly, a seventh-level professional named Rui Zhao is engaged in behind-the-scenes operations! 】
"Oh my God, why does he let such comments be posted on it!"
Shang Chaotian cursed angrily:
"I'll go find him and ask him to delete all these!"
"Brother Kai has already looked for him, but to no avail..."
Lu Wenjie sighed helplessly:
"He was very confident, saying that the association can't care what he says, or what the people comment on?
"And he also said that appointing a chess player whose past performance is obviously not enough to convince the public to play in the Nongshim Cup, It is normal to be said to be a secret operation, so why are we so surprised by this...
"To be honest, Brother Kai and I really can't refute his absurd reasoning."
“…”
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian was also silent.
Indeed, to be fair.
Although a few of them knew that relying on Ni Jue's flying knife arsenal, Rui Zhao did have the ability to compete with the contemporary god of agriculture on the fast chess table through the unlimited use of "heart flow" The strength of a battle.
But in the eyes of the majority of chess fans, how do you think that Rui Zhao, a seventh-dan female chess player who has not even won the Women's World Championship, takes up the precious Nongshim Cup quota to challenge the world's number one player? Not clean.
After thinking for a while, Shang Chaotian sighed and said:
"Hey! At this point, we can only pretend to be dead! I can only say that I have a clear conscience!
"If Rui Zhao does not perform well tomorrow, I will take the corresponding responsibility!"
"Brother Tian, what are you talking about being frustrated...eh?"
Lu Wenjie on the other end of the phone I wanted to comfort my chairman, but mid-sentence, he on the other end of the phone seemed to be distracted by something else, and then said quickly:
"Well, Brother Tian! Wait a minute! You Look at the circle of friends, Xiao Lei’s circle of friends!”
“Xiao Lei’s circle of friends?”
Shang Chaotian felt strange for a moment, and then opened his circle of friends and took a look.
In his impression, the student who never posted on Moments posted a message for the first time:
[I really let everyone down by not being able to win this game today. expectations. 】
【But I really don’t understand why some people have such bad intentions towards Rui Zhao playing as a substitute. 】
【From my experience of contact with her, I don’t believe that she is not worthy of the Nongshim Cup wild card. 】
[If there are any opponents who think they know chess better than me, chess players who are willing to challenge are welcome to discuss. 】
【I have too few WeChat friends, and I don’t have many social accounts. Could someone see this and help me spread it to various social media and forums? I don’t know if this is enough. 】
…
…
Huh…
I hope it can help her, Mr. Monk, to reduce some off-site pressure!
At the same time, in another room of Dongjiang Hotel.
Lei Qi, who was in a slightly calmer mood, put down his phone and sighed.
I have to say that in the past year or so, Lei Qi's mentality has matured a lot, but the defeat in this game still made his mentality somewhat ups and downs.
For the young future No. 1 player, this game is undoubtedly the most important one since he entered the profession.
Even better than the final game of the Sanshuang Cup three games at the beginning of last year, better than the life and death battle in the fifth set of the chess holy war the year before last, even...
Even better than the second stage of the last Nongshim Cup, he The key battle between "vanguard" and "general" with Liu Shixian. They lost that game of chess, and he and Rui Zhao only had seven consecutive victories in the arena, so they still had some dignity left.
But I lost the game, and my female chess player of the same age took over my unfinished task at the expense of overloading "flow"...
This is really shameless!
Thinking of this, Lei Qi couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. But then he took out his cell phone and made a call... It's nothing, I just need to slow down a little bit, and it's almost done now. "
"...I knew it before. As for the specifics...
"I'll talk to you when everything is over!
"By the way, do you know where Rui Zhao is now?
“Let’s talk to her about the discussions between our four team members these days!”
…
…
"Hey, there's really nothing I can do about Xiao Zhaomiao...
"Can't you tell me about such a big thing? ! This is really not a PR preparation at all! ! ! "
At eight o'clock in the evening on the same day, the Times Square office building in the south.
Ai Jian'an, who was still working overtime, couldn't help but sigh in the office of the studio.
As for those who worked overtime, The reason... hmm.
Ever since the Chess Association officially announced the name of the last substitute player to compete on stage tomorrow three hours ago, the entire Go circle has been in chaos!
As the boss and agent who is the number one party to the incident, it is his unshirkable responsibility to conduct public relations on this matter. So Miss Ai, who had packed her things and was going to go back to rest today, immediately gave up her thoughts of going back earlier and hurried back to work overtime.
It’s just... Until now, Ai Jianan has no idea of fighting back against the controversy.
Because Rui Zhao himself is a figure who has been in the industry before, and this time there is such a controversial news, coupled with a large number of Lin Ruixin fans taking advantage of it to set the rhythm, it will naturally fall into disgrace. The pot exploded instantly.
Originally, the server of the Yiguo Forum was down twice due to "Rui Zhao entered the quarterfinals" and "Lin Ruixin lost to Ichijo Takuya in the semifinals" during the Yingyi Cup, and then underwent an expansion.
But this time because of this extremely breaking news, the Yiguo forum directly 404ed again, causing a bunch of chess fans who had nowhere to vent their emotions to flood into the comment area under the news. As a result, the news section of Yiguo was also blocked half an hour ago. collapsed.
As a result, a large number of "Internet refugees" moved to major comprehensive online communities.
As the saying goes, "Good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles."
For Chinese netizens who love to spread hostility on the Internet, compared to the "boring positive energy", this kind of "positive energy" that was previously promoted by the central media is even more popular.
So much so that now on major comprehensive communities, news about "Rui Zhao operating in secret in the Go circle" and "Lin Ruixin, the number one chess sage in the millennium, insinuating injustice in the circle" are leaking out at an extremely fast speed. The first big thing in ordinary life.
This time Rui Zhao took the wild card to play in the Nongshim Cup, which caused a huge stir. It can be seen that! It also made Miss Ai shake her head repeatedly.
To be honest, Ai Jian'an really wants to make a phone call now and question his pillar:
How can you keep such a big deal under wraps? !
However, I think about it...
Miss Ai, who has been with Rui Zhao for almost two years, also knows that although her number one pillar looks weak, as long as she is determined The idea, it is true that even nine cows can't pull it back, and as for public opinion, it won't be considered much.
Instead of disturbing Rui Zhao on the eve of this crucial decisive battle, it is better to "believe first and then believe", "support all decisions of Queen Zhao" and support her own pillar in other places.
...For example, in this very troublesome battlefield of public opinion.
Although, after the Chess Association announced that Rui Zhao was the substitute player, Ni Jue, Sun Yi, Du Weichen, Xiong Siyi and Zou Yang immediately posted messages to support the junior sister, it did not have any effect. It's too big a role - after all, the five of them are related to the interests of Queen Zhaotian.
Next, Lei Qi also posted on Moments to express his support for Rui Zhao.
Although this has alleviated the originally one-sided tendency of public opinion, it has still attracted various doubts and controversies - after all, there are already many rumors about the two men and women who will be the first person in the world, and it is difficult to say that they have been completely eliminated. Gotta open.
Hmm...
There still need to be some neutral people to help Xiao Zhaomiao stand up!
Otherwise, even I don’t think it’s appropriate for Xiao Zhao to go to the Nongshim Cup...
Ai Jianan couldn’t help thinking silently in her heart.
However, as a professional in marketing and public relations, Ai Jianan naturally knows that this is unrealistic.
In the battlefield of public opinion, the emphasis has always been on "exporting with the wind and pretending to be dead against the wind." At this time, the consequences of those who have nothing to do with it can easily lead to trouble and be liquidated by public opinion.
With such an outpouring of public opinion nowadays, even if you are trying to explain yourself, you often have to endure it - after all, the vast majority of people on the Internet only talk about emotions and not reason.
Hmm... Now let’s calm down everyone in the fan base and stop having unnecessary arguments!
Ai Jianan made up her mind and was ready to take action.
But just when she entered the [Go Xiao Zhao] fan group and was planning to write an "official announcement" to everyone in the group, she didn't expect that a big fan suddenly posted a long photo in the group. Screenshot, and at the same time @ her as the group leader with a surprise word.
[An'an, look! This time, Dai Gong actually ended up! 】
【He published a 3,000-word "big essay" through Xiao Ji's social media! 】
【He especially stood up for Rui Zhao! 】
...Eh?
Ai Jianan blinked in disbelief, quite unbelievable. (End of chapter)
