Chapter 415: Press Conference For Blake
Chapter 415: Press Conference For Blake
Bianca looked at her with a soft expression.
Diana stretched and said, “Well, at least you’ve got a conscience. But the final filming for Star Search is in a few days. I’ll rest after it’s done.”
There was a slight discomfort in Diana’s face as she spoke.
She quickly regained her composure. “Oh, by the way, Bianc, what about Blake? We can’t hide his disability during the filming.”
Bianca’s face grew serious. “We shouldn’t keep it a secret. Contact the media today and set up a press conference to announce it.”
Diana was surprised. “Are you sure about this?”
Bianca nodded firmly. “Blake will be part of the last episode of Star Search, so the public needs to know.”
“He really...” Diana was pleasantly surprised by Blake’s strength. Her worries faded, replaced by excitement. “Count me in for anything you need. We’ll announce it at the press conference before filming. Not only will it grab attention and make headlines, but it will also show him as strong, earning the audience’s sympathy. He might even win the championship!”
Bianca gave Diana a relieved grin, then said with confidence, “As his agent, I’ll make sure he reaches the top.”
“Reese can boost her reputation, too. If we do this right, it’ll be a great opportunity!” Diana added, “Oh, and guess what? The crew just sent me the guest and judge list. This lineup is amazing and will break all audience rating records! I’ve sent it to your phone. Check it out.”
Bianca pulled out her phone and tapped on the message Diana had sent. The names Brandon and Nicolas were on the list.
“If I’m not mistaken, these two have never shared a stage before, have they? It’s rare for these big-name stars to appear together on the same show. Looks like the show’s producer really went all out this time.”
“You’re right...” Hearing Brandon’s name made Diana’s heart race, and she looked down at the ground.
Since their last meeting, she hadn’t seen him.
She felt a mix of gratitude, but her pride kept her from sending a simple message.
She had no idea what Brandon was doing, and he had disappeared without a trace after that day.
Diana’s frustration grew. He disappeared after their intimate encounter, acting as irresponsibly as before!
Diana didn’t want to take a few days off, not just to help Bianca but because Brandon would be a guest on the show.
She found a good excuse to meet him again.
“Nance, you and Mr. Foster, you...” Seeing the discomfort on Diana’s face and remembering her past with Brandon, Bianca couldn’t help but ask.
“I have nothing to do with him! Nothing happened at all!” Diana blurted out, sounding defensive.
A smirk appeared on Bianca’s lips as she cleared her throat. “That’s not what you said last time.”
“Is that so?” Diana’s eyes quickly moved around. “I don’t even remember what I said back then. Anyway, there’s nothing between us.”
“I never said that. Your words are betraying you,” Bianca teased her abruptly.
Diana’s face turned bright red. “I have to go; I have work to do.”
She quickly rushed out of Bianca’s office.
Bianca watched her friend leave and sighed softly.
She could tell Diana had feelings for Brandon.
What would the future hold for them?
After returning to her desk, Diana contacted the media and arranged a press conference for the afternoon.
When they learned it was about Blake’s leg injury, the media rushed to attend. They competed fiercely for the best interview spots, creating quite a scene.
What started as a small press conference quickly became a big event.
When Bianca took the stage, she showed no signs of nervousness. Her past experiences had made her tough.
The press conference was streamed live online. The first wave of viewers reached a few million, and with social media influencers joining in, it quickly went viral. It peaked at over ten million viewers.
Bianca faced the camera, took a moment to compose herself, and then spoke. “Despite everything that’s happened, Blake has decided to continue filming Star Search for his fans. No matter what happens, I am proud of him and hope his supporters will cheer him on. I believe he won’t let you down.”
Comments flooded the live chat.
“Blake, don’t worry. We’ll always support you!”
“You’ve overcome so many challenges. You’re my role model!”
“Even after a major setback, he hasn’t abandoned his fans. How can we turn our backs on him?”
“Blake, you’ve got this!”
Soon, messages of support for Blake filled the screen.
Meanwhile, Dave sat in his office, watching the livestream in silence. He noticed how calm and composed Bianca appeared on camera.
The flood of supportive comments for Blake struck Dave hard.
With a sharp snap, he closed his laptop.
How could he have been so foolish?
The past few days had passed in a blur. He had been working nonstop, leaving sleep as a luxury.
When he finally had a moment to breathe, an uncontrollable urge to watch the livestream took over.
It was all because he saw Bianca’s name.
Dave’s hand clenched into a fist.
The thought of Blake being close to Bianca made him angry.
He quickly made a call. “Tell the production team of Star Search that Phoenix Alliance Group will fully sponsor the final episode.”
A few days earlier, the Star Search production team had asked Phoenix Alliance Group for sponsorship to boost the show’s reach.
However, the manager handling the request only mentioned it briefly during a meeting, and Dave didn’t think much of it. He had left the decision to him.
The manager was surprised to get a call from the CEO. After seeing the livestream’s success, he realized the show could achieve even greater popularity.
Dave finally saw the benefit of working with the show’s production team.
After separating from Evans Group, Phoenix Alliance Group had to build its own path.
He couldn’t ignore the chance for exposure and a wider audience.
“Understood, Mr. Evans. I’ll contact the production team right away,” the manager replied.
“Make sure no information leaks before the last episode airs.”
“Understood, sir.”
After ending the call, Dave leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
After the press conference, Star Search became more popular than ever.
Blake, along with Bianca’s agency and Reese, who competed with him, gained a lot of attention.
Viral press releases flooded the internet.
“Blake’s stunning debut has made him a rising star. However, a sudden car accident left him with a broken leg, as if the doors of opportunity opened only to be closed again. While most would have given in to despair and stayed out of the public eye, Blake chose to face his audience with immense strength. His courage is truly admirable.”
