Chapter 351: How Much Did We Just Save?
Olivia agreed immediately, and soon Jared brought the journalist over. Accompanied by a photographer, the journalist greeted Olivia with a smile, then, holding the microphone, asked with ill intent, โMs. Carter, are you aware of the photos from โLegacy of the Dynastyโ that leaked online yesterday?โ
Overnight, the internet, including Oliviaโs fans, had been in a frenzy. The backlash and skepticism regarding โLegacy of the Dynastyโ had grown significantly. The production crew of โLegacy of the Dynastyโ was nowhere as lavish as Tears of Rivers, and its cast was mostly newcomers. Facing such a crisis right at the start wasnโt a good sign. Olivia nodded. โIโm aware.โ
The journalist was taken aback by her calm response. Thatโs it? She wasnโt worried at all? He continued, โGiven the exposure these photos received, many online have serious doubts about your production. Have you seen the comments?โ
Those comments were harsh. If Olivia had truly read them, she couldnโt possibly be this composed. Howeverโฆ
โIโve seen them all; I carefully read everyoneโs concerns,โ Olivia said with a smile.
The journalist paused, confused. Concerns? He thought they were criticisms.
Unphased by the journalistโs reaction, Olivia cheerfully added, โIโm thrilled about the attention our project is getting, so Iโd also like to ask our journalist friends to convey a message to those paparazzi who came sneaking around.โ
The journalist relaxed, thinking he knew what was coming. With the amount of flak Olivia had received overnight, how could she stay calm? He was ready to capture Oliviaโs breakdown on camera. But Olivia, facing the camera, flashed a radiant smile.
โThe โLegacy of the Dynastyโ crew welcomes gossip-mongers and photojournalists from all fields to visit anytime. Next time, feel free to shoot openly: no need to sneak around, our set is very open-minded!โ
Free publicity; why not take advantage of it? Trending on Twitter is expensive!
โAlthough we donโt provide meals, we do allow plenty of photo opportunities at no charge,โ Olivia invited warmly.
The journalist was flabbergasted; Oliviaโs words left him speechless. โMs. Carter, are you serious? You donโt mind being sneakily photographed by paparazzi?โ he asked, maintaining his professional composure.
If it were any other production, they would have exploded by now.
Olivia nodded and said, โI canโt thank those who work hard to promote us enough; why would I refuse them? Iโm also grateful to the person who leaked info on Twitter yesterday. Without her, given our tiny budget for publicity, it might have been until the showโs release before anyone noticed us againโฆโ
Smiling at the camera, Olivia continued, โSuch enthusiastic fans, please, send me more.โ
How much advertising costs did we just save? Those fans were my cost-saving angels!
