The elusive "Girlfriend Army"
Recently, Ye Ke's "best friend" has frequently spoken out on the Internet to clarify various rumors for her.
Interestingly, whenever Ye Ke falls into the whirlpool of public opinion, there is always a mysterious girlfriend who appears in time to resolve the crisis for her.
When someone questioned the marital status of Huang Xiaoming and Ye Ke, best friend A jumped out and said: "Married!" If you don't spend the holidays together, will you have a holiday! "
When Ye Ke fell into the rumors of the "celebrity training class", his best friend B said: "No one trained us!" "
Even, when netizens complained that Huang Xiaoming's vision was not good, best friend C immediately appeared to support: "Huang Xiaoming is the top man." "
The appearance of these girlfriends is always just right, with sharp words and straight to the point.
However, attentive netizens found that the photos of these "girlfriends" were surprisingly similar, as if they were all sharing the same face!
The truth behind the blindfolding
So, why does Ye Ke use the identity of his girlfriend to speak out?
This can't help but remind of an old and interesting story.
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a unique way of giving gifts among officials. For example, if a magistrate wants to give a gift to a high-ranking official in the capital, he will go to an antique shop first. The boss will recommend a calligraphy and painting according to the amount he wants to send.
Interestingly, the painting happened to be in the home of the Beijing official. The magistrate paid the owner of the antique shop, who went to the house of the Beijing official to "buy" the painting.
Finally, the magistrate gave the painting as a gift to the Jingguan. In this way, the Beijing official sold a painting, the magistrate bought a painting, and the owner of the antique shop ran errands, and everyone was happy, but he did not leave a handle.
The "Blindfolding" of Modern Society
In fact, this kind of "blindfolding" is not uncommon in modern society.
For example, if the boss of a company wants to negotiate a certain project, he may arrange for a "consultant" to do several "consultations" with the project leader, and then pay a high "consulting fee".
On the surface, this is just a normal business deal, but in fact, there is a hidden mystery.
A few days ago, Zhang Yuqi's story of "I have a friend from Shandong" is actually a "trick".
Look around us again. Xiao Wang wanted to give a suggestion to the leader, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate to say it directly. So, he might find a colleague and say, "Lao Zhang, what do you think of this idea?" Why don't you mention it to the leader for me? "
In this way, even if the suggestion is not adopted, Xiao Wang can save face and maintain a good relationship with the leader.
Ye Ke's "Shadow Army"
Back to Ye Ke's case.
She asked her "best friend" to speak out, which was actually using a modern version of "blindfolding".
Through the mouth of her "best friend", she can express her position, clarify rumors, and even fight back against criticism without directly facing the public.
There are several obvious benefits to this approach:
First of all, it gives the impression of objectivity and impartiality, as if an outsider is speaking.
Secondly, if the remarks cause controversy, Ye Ke himself can dissociate himself and maintain his image.
Finally, it creates buzz and attracts more attention.
Ye Ke's multiple identities
All this subverted people's perception of Ye Ke.
She is no longer the simple "celebrity", but a "generalist" who is proficient in public relations and marketing. She uses different identities to create topics on the Internet, attract attention, and keep herself at the center of public opinion.
Some say it's clever self-marketing, while others think it's deceiving the public.
But it is undeniable that Ye Ke has successfully pushed himself to the top of the entertainment industry in this way.
In this entertainment industry where it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, who can tell which is the real Ye Ke?
Perhaps, even Ye Ke himself can't tell the difference.
