This man knows how to hype

Chapter 589: Pie in the Sky Marketing
With a "click", everyone gave a "V" sign.

Then, a photo of Xu Xiyu and other core members was posted on the Internet in the middle of the night. This was a statement, one of the purposes of which was to tell his colleagues in the entertainment industry that he was back.

Naturally, there was not much reaction from colleagues.

Because at this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning after the meeting.

Under the street light at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Xiyu waved and saw the last person off to the car.

Looking at the rear of the car moving further and further away, he let out a long breath with his cheeks slightly puffed up.

Talent is really important.

Talents who are willing to share weal and woe are more important.

Fortunately, this time the core members under his command were not lost.

He raised his head and looked up at the bright moon in the sky again.

He turned around and walked briskly back to the yard.

After entering the living room, it was empty. At this time, Ke Xinying and Xu's father and mother should have gone to bed long ago.

Looking at the four suitcases placed side by side on the ground, Xu Xiyu slowly walked forward and squatted. He was actually very curious about what the "Thirteen Yao" had prepared for him.

A few minutes later……

"Damn it! Why don't you pack up the mattress and send it to me?" Xu Xiyu went upstairs with a few things in his arms, cursing.

Among them were the script of "Soldier Assault" that Yuan Jie had printed and bound for him, as well as the lyrics of several military songs; there was also a USB flash drive containing the electronic versions of these things.

I returned to the study and was just about to find a place to put my things.

There were footsteps behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Ke Xinying, radiating maternal radiance, leaning against the door frame and looking at him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Xu Xiyu hurried forward.

"I can't sleep." Ke Xinying shook her head and reached out to hug Xu Xiyu.

Her belly was too big, so it was not convenient to hug her properly. They just kissed for a while, and then the two of them changed their posture to Xu Xiyu holding her arm and sitting down on a chair in the study.

"Soldier Assault?" After sitting down, Ke Xinying saw the script cover on the table and muttered curiously.

After she finished muttering, she flipped the page open, only to find that there was no text on the title page, but a pen sketch of a soldier standing guard.

"His name is Xu Sanduo." Xu Xiyu looked at the painting and couldn't help but stroke it. He drew it when he was writing the plot of Grassland Class 5.

He drew many similar sketches, all of which were famous scenes from Soldiers Assault that impressed him deeply.

"His training performance in the recruit company was very poor, so he was assigned to a place far away from human habitation to guard the training ground. There were only him and a few comrades from the third company and the fifth squad.

No one supervised the people in Class 5, so they indulged themselves. But Xu Sanduo was different. He was very stubborn and had his own inner persistence. He said he wanted to do many meaningful things. "

"What is a meaningful thing?" Ke Xinying didn't feel puzzled, nor did she say anything like "I've been worried about you these days."

She just responded softly and continued the current topic.

She likes to chat with her lover about anything.

Xu Xiyu also likes to chat with her, no matter what.

"To live meaningfully is to live well. To live well is to do many, many meaningful things. It sounds like a repetitive saying, right? Haha."

Having said that, Xu Xiyu smiled and stroked Ke Xinying's hair, but his eyes were back on the sketch.

Xu Sanduo did a lot of things in Class 5, and these things were finally summarized in this sketch, allowing Lao Wang to see his story, which led to his subsequent move to Steel Company 7.

Sometimes in life, you really need a chance.

But before this opportunity comes, we really need to persevere.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu patted the script and smiled again: "I think this is one of the best scripts I have ever written. You can take a look at it yourself when you have time."

"With such a good script, when the one in Shanghai gives birth, shouldn't we arrange for her to be the female lead so that she can announce her return to the film and television industry?" Ke Xinying deliberately joked.

"The leading actress?" Xu Xiyu was startled when he heard that, and then deliberately suppressed his laughter and said, "There are three important female characters in this movie. How about this, after you finish reading it, decide which one she is suitable for?"

These three female characters include the "village beauty" at the entrance of the village, the proprietress of a grocery store, and the female reporter who reported that the chemical plant was hijacked by gangsters when Yuan Lang was doing a test.

The three characters only have about half a minute of screen time in total.

But Ke Xinying had no idea about this. She rolled her eyes and pouted, "I even helped her choose roles. She's so beautiful! I get dozens of calls a day these days, and I have to spend time comforting her. It's so annoying. Hum~~"

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Xiyu said and hugged her head in his arms again.

"I'm not tired, my main job is to keep the family stable. The things outside are all handled by Ning Wei, Xin Bao and the group of people who came to the meeting today. If it weren't for them, how could we three pregnant women handle it?

Yang Xueqing is also useless. She starts vomiting when she's anxious and can't eat. After 19 days, I can't do anything. I just serve her all day long! This damn Ling Siming, isn't this a pervert?" After saying that, before Xu Xiyu replied to Ke Xinying, he continued: "Forget it, fortunately everything is over. When Mr. Li sent the longevity lock over, he told me to focus on my career and not to think too much."

"Mr. Li?" Xu Xiyu was stunned.

"Look, that one." Ke Xinying said as she raised her chin towards the bookshelf.

Xu Xiyu turned his head and saw a group photo on the bookshelf. The photo included Ke Xinying, his parents and a man who looked to be in his early 60s.

"He came here in person for this matter?" Xu Xiyu was really surprised, as this man had a higher status than Ling Siming.

"He is also a loyal reader of The Three-Body Problem. So, I gave him a copy of the concept drawing of Wandering Blue Planet that you drew in your study as a return gift.

He was very happy and kept asking me when the TV series of "The Three-Body Problem" would be released and whether there were any plans to make a movie. "When Ke Xinying talked about this, she couldn't help but smile.

It is a happy thing that my man’s work has so many heavyweight fans.

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he was about to speak, but he heard Ke Xinying continue: "I told him that Xuejian's plan is to broadcast "Mountains and Seas" first.

"The Three-Body Problem" will be released together with "The Wandering Blue Planet" and the two works will echo each other in publicity. But if he wants to watch it, we can provide him with the source of the film. Do you know what he said?"

"How to say?"

"He said he wanted to see the comments, so let's wait until it goes online. It's boring to see it in advance." Ke Xinying couldn't help but laughed while covering her mouth. "So he also sees comments?"

Xu Xiyu also laughed when he heard this, and said while laughing: "It's actually normal. He can't find so many like-minded people to share and discuss a certain work, don't you think?"

"That's right." Ke Xinying nodded when she heard that.

After that, she returned to the topic: "What do you think of the promotional strategy of "The Three-Body Problem" and "Wandering Blue Planet" echoing each other?"

"Very good." Xu Xiyu did not raise any objections. Some things require the people below to take the initiative, and responding to the publicity is indeed a good strategy.

For example, you can play the joke of "The destination of the Wandering Blue Star is the Three-Body System, and all the people of the Three-Body Star are heading to the Blue Star."

Other companies simply can't play this kind of trick because they don't have the conditions.

"Whatever you think is good, I don't really have any ideas. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing..."

"What?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously.

"Didn't the first version of the trailer for Journey to the West: The Sequel be released? Wow, Lin Zhenyu and Lu Jian were full of anticipation, waiting for players to praise them for being awesome.

Guess what happened? 10 out of 9 people said we were just making empty promises, that it was a scam, that the quality of the real machine could not be this high, and some even said we were trying to learn from the traffic stars to make money.”

"Why do you have to criticize it when there is nothing to criticize? Why are you trying to make money from single-player games? I don't have a milk tea shop, trendy brand store, or hot pot restaurant." Xu Xiyu was amused.

"The key point is that while netizens are saying we are a scam, someone else immediately heard the news and went to Pingxing Chongcai to poach people, which made Lu Yan so angry that he said he would release the actual machine demonstration video in advance.

Ning Wei suppressed it, saying that it was fine as it was, and that it could be allowed to ferment a little longer, so that people could question it again. "Ke Xinying deliberately picked some happy topics to talk about.

However, Xu Xiyu still asked a question that was not very pleasant: "How many people were poached from Pingxing Chongcai? Lu Yan just kept fooling me and didn't tell me the truth."

"One-sixth of the people said they wanted to leave. Ning Wei was afraid that they would affect others, so she did it quickly. In short, the company with the most serious staff loss this time was Pingxing Chongcai. The other companies have past performance and are still stable."

Ke Xinying couldn't help but sigh when she talked about this, and then added: "You said, the game is ready, and it will be released in a few months. Don't you feel unwilling to leave now?"

"It's because the release is coming soon that they can't wait. The cost is 5 million, and they need to sell a few million copies at the original price to make back the money. Do you think they are under a lot of pressure?

The title of the first 3A game sounds good, but who knows what the results will be after it is released? After all, there is no precedent in China to refer to.

If it fails, in their opinion, Ning Wei, Xiaoyu and I will definitely give up this business; other investors will not invest again after seeing this result.

In other words, in their minds, Parallel Chongcai's future will either be to transform into a mobile game company and compete with the big companies on the market, or to disband on the spot. In short, its future is uncertain.

In this situation, if someone offers a high salary to recruit you, why not leave? People should always think about the future, which is understandable. "Xu Xiyu also sighed as he spoke.

"What do you think the final score of this game will be?"

“I don’t know, I hope the annual sales can reach 300 million, 200 million is fine too, anyway, as long as the loss is not too severe, I will definitely continue to invest.

Speaking of which, I really hope that one day I can play a 3A game with a cultivation theme, preferably an open world one. "Xu Xiyu laughed.

After laughing, he suddenly had an idea and said to Ke Xinying, "I thought of what our group company should be called."

"What's your name?" Ke Xinying asked curiously.

"During these 19 days, as long as the weather was fine, I looked up at the stars in the sky every day. As I looked, I thought that every work we created was like a star.

As more and more works are created, our starry sky will become more and more brilliant. So, I was thinking, maybe the name of our group should be called "Xing"?
Later, I chatted with Shisanyao, and they said that the small mosses, snow lilies and ivy in our company all grow on the ground, so the parent company is like the earth, so it is better to have the word "earth" in the name.

I thought what they said made sense, so I thought, we should call it "Di Yi". Later, they said that someone had registered this company, so I gave up again.

Just now, I discovered that the works created by companies like Binary Phantom and Parallel Heavy Color are like the creation of a world.

So, in summary, our new company should be called... Earth Star World Culture Group Co., Ltd., or Earth Star Culture for short!"
