It’s here. Elisa was originally bored on stage, almost falling asleep. She was responding absentmindedly, but with a single sentence from the journalist, she suddenly perked up. Today, Elisa deliberately drew eyeliner. Her eyes usually looked misty like water, but as soon as she turned serious, they became sharp. Now on stage, her aura was completely unleashed, her pride and confidence radiating without any restraint.
The people standing in the back didn’t feel much, but the journalists closer to her clearly felt a chill, enveloped by a strong sense of intimidation, not daring to meet Elisa’s eyes. Especially the female journalist who had provoked Elisa, her blood ran cold, her legs trembling. She struggled to suppress her fear as she looked at Elisa’s face, only to see her lips part.
“What is it?” The female journalist, prompted by those behind her, held up her phone and said, “I just received the latest news. Plinopis has already found a suitable spokesperson, that’s Ariadne. As for you… Plinopis just tweeted an explanation, saying your character does not align with their brand values.”
After the journalist finished, the comments in the live broadcast went crazy, expressing disbelief.
“What, Plinopis chose Ariadne as the spokesperson? Did Ariadne steal Elisa’s endorsement?”
“Didn’t you hear what the journalist said? Plinopis chose themselves, because Elisa doesn’t fit the brand. Just one look at her and they vetoed the deal.”
“This is hilarious, the first joke I’ve heard this year. Elisa’s fans have been treating her endorsement by Plinopis like New Year’s, trampling on other artists. But it turns out Plinopis doesn’t even take her seriously. It’s a real blow, and what does her box office success prove? I dare say that most people going to see the movie are there for Louis the movie star. Elisa was just lucky to work with Louis the movie star.”
“Plinopis comes to Numbat for the first time to choose a spokesperson and says Elisa’s character is problematic. What’s the problem?”
Spreading rumors is easy, but debunking them is hard. Nowadays, the cost of spreading rumors is getting lower, and people believe whatever they are told, even without substantial evidence.
The reporters at the scene were waiting for Elisa’s response, and Elisa just leisurely took out her phone. “Wait a moment, let me see what they’ve posted first.”
Everyone really waited quietly for her, even the live broadcast calmed down a lot. All the cameras were focused on her, not missing any details on her face.
Online, it was indeed as the journalist had said. Plinopis’ official statement seemed credible; if she weren’t involved in this matter, she would almost believe it.
On the other hand, Ariadne had also released the official announcement of her contract with Plinopis. The comments below were truly like a festive season. Conversely, on Elisa’s end, it felt like attending a funeral. Not only did she have to endure a strong sense of disappointment, but she also faced mockery and insults from fans of other artists.
After reading through everything, just when everyone thought she was about to say something, Elisa just made a few taps on her phone and put it to her ear to make a call.
As she waited for the call to connect, she looked out and saw her fans at the scene, holding up light boards to support her. Those fans loved her and wouldn’t disbelieve her because of rumors. Even in the face of various strange looks, they held their light boards high to cheer for her.
At this moment, worry appeared on their faces, as if they didn’t know what to do.
The call connected, and Elisa calmly spoke, “Release it now.”
Elisa’s voice wasn’t deliberately lowered, she still had her mic on, and everyone at the scene could hear her.
The crowd was puzzled: Release what? What should be released?
After the call ended, Elisa reached out to the side, and the person next to her quickly handed her the microphone.
Looking at the fans behind her, she said, “Don’t frown, don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
She would never let herself down, nor would she let down those who loved her. She would become the best version of herself, shining brightly with a brilliant future.
From a distance came the fans’ screams. Elisa shook her phone in her hand, “Everything you want to know, I’ve already posted it on Twitter. If you want to know, go and see for yourselves.”
After saying this, Elisa put down the microphone and turned to leave. The crowd was caught off guard, not knowing whether to follow Elisa or to check their phones.
The scene was chaotic, and then came thereports; after Elisa left, the reporters scrambled to take out their phones while holding up their microphones to chase after her.
Asher reacted quickly and immediately contacted people to protect Elisa and ensure her safe departure, instructing Osvaldo, who was closest to her, to take good care of her.
Osvaldo, by her side, asked, “What’s going on?”
“Didn’t I say I posted it on Twitter? Go and check it out yourself.” Elisa got into the car. “I’m going back now. I leave the scene to you. Bye.”
After seeing her safely off, Osvaldo opened his phone and without searching, he saw the trending topics. He clicked into them one by one.
In short, Plinopis looked down on Elisa, but Elisa shamelessly promoted Plinopis online, which had a negative impact on them. Now they have signed with Ariadne. As for Elisa, they originally intended to sign with her, but they canceled the collaboration because her character didn’t fit the brand image.
And just as this tweet was posted, Elisa logged into Twitter.
