The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 126 Publicity and Momentum Building
Mid-August.

After the wrap party for "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu" ended, the entire Tencent Film Studio got busy.

The main thing is that the boss paid out the money properly this time.

Besides the fact that Jiang Yilei's online marketing department started frantically editing behind-the-scenes footage and various short clips.

Other departments have also started promoting their initiatives online.

The first item immediately went viral and trended on social media.

[After filming "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu" wrapped up, Tencent Video awarded Zhao Liying 20 million yuan in cash.]

In addition to the main keyword being featured, there was also a series of related news articles below.

Zhao Liying has wrapped filming "The Eternal Love" and received a 20 million yuan bonus.

[After filming "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu" wrapped up, Zhao Liying received another 5% stock option bonus from Tencent Pictures.]

[Tengying's valuation is 3 billion yuan, making Zhao Liying a major figure in the entertainment industry's capital market.]

[A detailed look at Zhao Liying's rise to fame.]

Am I still half asleep?

"Why am I only seeing news about Hua Qiangu when I woke up?"

"Tsk... Zhao's new drama has wrapped up filming, and some clips have leaked out. Go check them out!"

Countless fans instantly flocked to this spot, spontaneously becoming experts at generating buzz.

It has to be said that the previous efforts to build up fan sites were quite effective.

As soon as Zhao Liying's entertainment news came out, more than 10,000 to 100,000 fans left comments and forwarded it.

"Brothers and sisters, if we win this battle, the boss will treat us to a feast!"

Bai Xin, who had just received her Porsche, wore a badge that read "Secretary" around her neck.

He simply moved a small stool to the middle of the hall and stood there to cheer them on.

Everything was done to get a good price for Hua Qiangu.

"The marketing department is fully hyping up the primordial power and using the name of the Demon God."

Just like brand marketing needs positioning, TV dramas also need it.

The reason it's called a demon god is mainly because it sounds powerful.

This is the only model that is missing in China.

The marketing department's dozens of employees were all sliced ​​up to extract the final power of the demon god.

They continuously release small pieces of material online and then use fan groups to generate buzz.

But at this crucial moment...

Suddenly, a trending topic appeared: Zhao Liying, whom you may not be familiar with.

Upon opening it, I found that it was a smear campaign against her for having been a flight attendant, and even subtly suggested that she had worked as a hostess.

This sudden use of offensive language infuriated Bai Xin.

The Ministry of Justice should immediately issue a serious statement as a warning.

Wang Yanfeng dared to show up at this time, so he wasn't afraid.

Tencent has a legal department, so why doesn't it?
He so strongly expressed his desire to invest in Hua Qiangu back then, but you wouldn't allow it.

Now that's great, after you've filmed it, I'm going to criticize it relentlessly.

Once the main character's scandals are confirmed, forget about getting a good price; even if the show can be broadcast normally, it will be a big problem.

Trying to hype things up at this time? You'll never be satisfied with that.

Unsurprisingly, Tengying and Feiying have started fighting again, one desperately trying to protect their stock while the other is attacking them across the internet.

The internet is constantly flooded with new information.

However, those who are Zhao Liying's fans are not to be underestimated.

Various university groups and countless fans spontaneously began to protect the stock price online.

Both Tengying and Feiying kept pushing the trending topics, one promoting them to fame while the other was being universally criticized online.

Unsurprisingly, the flurry of news propelled Zhao Liying to the top of the entertainment news headlines.

"Sister Honey, even your news has been suppressed."

Jiaxing Media.

Just as Yang Mi released her beautiful airport photos, preparing to use them to grab headlines in the entertainment section...

Unexpectedly, they were directly overtaken by those two companies that were fighting tooth and nail. Dilireba, oblivious to everyone else, nudged her.

Yang Mi is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. As she herself said, with her looks, there is no man she cannot have.

Even in the sweltering summer heat, she was dressed very lightly.

The ripped jeans were uneven, with one side longer than the other, and a few frayed bits had fallen off.

It's quite fashionable.

Celebrities need to generate some buzz from time to time, otherwise they'll be in big trouble once the audience forgets about them.

"Do you think I'm blind? Can you tell me something I don't know?"

After blinking her long eyelashes twice, Dilireba quickly said, "In addition to her own salary, Zhao Liying seems to have received a cash bonus of 20 million."

Yang Mi almost fell off her chair with a thud: "Can you say something I like to hear?"

Dilraba: "Senior Sister, Tencent's valuation is now 3 billion."

Yang Mi: "And then?"

Dilraba said innocently, "Then that straight guy gave her five percent of the shares. That's amazing."

"Heh..." Yang Mi gave her a slap on the bottom: "You deliberately choose to say things I don't like to hear, don't you?"

Yang Mi was very angry.

Zhao Liying is only a second-tier star, and her status is far inferior to hers.

If she can get a 20 million yuan reward, there's no reason why I can't.

Yang Mi got up; she was going to have a serious talk with the major shareholder.

After the major shareholder learned of her purpose, he simply made a hasty escape to the bathroom.

I thought I could avoid it for a few days and everything would be fine, but who knew Yang Mi would be so persistent.

Given her position, even the major shareholders can't fool her.

"Honey, you have to understand, our company is in the development stage, and we will definitely be able to go public in the future."

“We’ve become a developing company, so Tencent Film is like a poor household. They can get tens of millions in rewards for outstanding artists, so there’s no reason why we can’t do the same.”

The major shareholder is furiously criticizing Tencent Pictures, saying they are truly doing nothing right.

Why can't actors just get paid for filming? Why offer such high rewards before the film has even been sold?

What will other companies' artists think?

Major shareholder Sister Jin said in a serious tone: "Don't just look at the present. We need to have a long-term vision. Do you believe that a company like Tengying can claim a valuation of 3 billion? That's just them talking big."

Yang Mi knew this too, and besides, she wasn't there to bring up valuation.

Jin Jie was clearly trying to change the subject and didn't want to give her a reward.

"Sister Jin, even though I'm a top-tier star in the company, I can't compare to her, who's only a second-tier star. Aren't you afraid I'll switch jobs to Tencent Film?"

Yang Mi leaned back comfortably on the sofa, looking at her slender hands, which were absolutely gorgeous.

Most men could probably find pleasure easily with those beautiful hands.

"Heh." Sister Jin wasn't buying it. The key was that she felt Teng Ying simply didn't have the ability to poach this top-tier celebrity.

Besides, she owns a significant number of shares in the company.

Only a madman would switch jobs to a company like Tencent, which has no reputation or resources.

"Honey, stop joking with me. If you went to that small, run-down company, Tengying, you'd be ruining your future."

Hmph... Yang Mi was too lazy to bother with the bonus negotiation since she couldn't get it done.

Going to Tengying is definitely out of the question; they don't have anything there.

After she left, Sister Jin immediately turned on her small computer and organized a group of online trolls to join the Black Tengying series.

She still has good judgment; don't be fooled by the fact that Zhao Liying isn't as good as Yang Mi now.

At this rate of development, if "The Legend of Hua Qian Gu" airs smoothly, it might actually catch up with her.

Then, we'll have another powerful competitor.

This is absolutely not okay.

Before she really gains momentum, we should quickly and aggressively suppress her.

Ideally, you should just stomp on her.
