With the Star Entertainment public relations department’s efforts, the news about Ning Ziqiang attempted suicide was quickly suppressed.

Despite the news about Ning Ziqiang going viral for a while, it still couldn’t compare to the buzz generated by the scandal with Zheng Lunlun.

The reason was simple. Zheng Lunlun was among the hottest celebrities at the time, hence Ning Ran was being pulled along by his fame.

However, Ouyang Qing’s purpose this time wasn’t to cause Ning Ran’s problems to go viral. Instead, her objective was to smear Ning Ran’s reputation in front of the Nan family.

Therefore, Star Entertainment mobilized its immense media network and managed to change the situation against Ning Ran quickly.

Through many influencer accounts, they ‘accused’ Star Entertainment of using the incident as a publicity stunt to promote their new series.

Their rationale was that Ning Ran had donated tens of millions to the poor who were living in the mountainous regions. Hence, it was impossible for someone so generous to ill-treat her father. Therefore the matter just didn’t make sense.

The articles had even included pictures of Ning Ran and Zheng Lunlun doing charity together, serving as evidence.

Despite making it sound like an accusation, it was an indirect way of clearing Ning Ran’s name.

After that, Star Entertainment quickly issued a statement to clear the air. They clarified that it was just an accident and it wasn’t a publicity stunt for their new series. Soon, they would release evidence to support their claim.

Both sides mentioned a ‘new series’ amidst their ‘war of words’, but neither explained what the ‘new series’ actually was.

Such subliminal methods of marketing quickly piqued the netizens’ interest. Soon, they were all trying to find out what the new series was all about.

After that, there were ‘insider’ leaks that stated the new period drama was Sound of Thunder 2, starring Zheng Lunlun and Ning Ran.

Instantly, the news set the internet on fire. Everyone was trying their best to find out what the plot was and who would be in the creative team.

In no time, there were multiple versions and rumors floating around.
