Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 310 I am Yan Li, and I speak for myself.
That evening, the Teddy Sisters posted a group photo of their gathering on Weibo.

This is probably a little rule within the Teddy Sisters group.

At some gatherings, especially large ones with a relatively large number of people, if a group photo is taken, it is common for everyone to post it on social media. This is both a way of declaring their bond and a way of expressing the unity and friendship of the Teddy Sisters.

Of course, there are also drawbacks to playing this way.

For example, if someone attends too many gatherings, some fans will criticize them for neglecting their duties, while others who attend fewer gatherings due to other commitments will be questioned or have their activities fabricated by the media, etc.

However, overall, given the relatively harmonious atmosphere within the Teddy Sisters group, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

For those with less fame, like Xiong Naijin and Zhao Ke, the Teddy Sisters group is their most important means of exposure, so they are keen on posting photos and interacting with each other.

Compared to the past, the Teddy Sisters group has gained another member this time, namely Yang Mi.

She not only took photos and posted them online, but also interacted publicly with Qin Lan, and chatted enthusiastically with Liu Yun, Ma Yili, Gan Wei and others.

Fans and casual observers just watched the spectacle, perhaps a little surprised that Yang Mi had gotten involved, but it wasn't anything extraordinary.

After all, other people had come to the Teddy Sisters' gathering before. Everyone has one or two friends in the industry, and it's normal for them to come and have some fun together.

This matter might not have been a big deal to outsiders, but it greatly shocked those who knew about the relationship between Qin Lan and Dong Xuan, as well as the relationship between Yang Mi and Dong Xuan.

Did they steal their partner?!

Yang Mi, disguised as Yan Li, openly and blatantly juggles two relationships.

The Weibo post was made by Qin Lan and the others, but Dong Xuan answered the phone the most frequently. Her various inquiries and probing made Teacher Dong extremely anxious, and she cursed Qin Lan in her heart for causing her trouble.

She and Qin Lan had a certain understanding regarding Yang Mi, but they hadn't agreed to announce it so publicly.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that Qin Lan did this on purpose!

After all, it was obvious that Yang Mi was closest to Dong Xuan. Although Qin Lan agreed to join forces with Dong to oppose Fan, she was also afraid that Dong Xuan would use a trick to cross the river in disguise and collude with Yang Mi to frame her.

By announcing it to the public, and even seemingly trying to bring Yang Mi into the Teddy Sisters group, Qin Lan is clearly telling everyone that she, Qin Lan, is Yang Mi's backer and that Yang Mi's future success is thanks to her.

In the future, if Yang Mi ever wants to betray her, she'll have to think twice before Qin Lan turns her into a prime example of ingratitude.

"They've learned to be smarter."

Dong Xuan muttered to herself that she felt Qin Lan was too clever for such a scheme, and wondered if someone was giving her advice behind the scenes.

The reason she thought this way was because Yan Li had also taught her how to manipulate Yang Mi.

This girl is no pushover; she's ambitious and cunning, a sharp blade that can be used effectively, but one must be careful not to hurt oneself.

Therefore, Yan Li instructed her on how to treat Yang Mi, so that she would be obedient, respect and love her, and dare not have any ulterior motives.

Since he can guide her, he might as well teach Qin Lan too!

Qin Lan managed to keep that Teddy Sisters group, a bunch of small fry, in check, without any major mishaps, and they were quite useful in many situations.

This is definitely not something Qin Lan could have accomplished alone!

After thinking it over and over, Dong Xuan got tired of agonizing and simply called Yan Li.

"I also want to publicly declare that Yang Mi is mine. How can I do that naturally and without it feeling abrupt?"

Yan Li: "..."

You two are always scheming in your palace intrigues, never using your brains, always asking the referee for advice. No wonder Fan Xiaopang looks down on you two.

Behind Yang Mi is Chairman Qin, and behind Chairman Qin is Yan Li, who doesn't want Fan Xiaopang to have a monopoly.

"You're her teacher, isn't it normal for class reunions and classmate gatherings?"

Despite her inner grumbling, Yan Li still offered an idea, and Dong Xuan's eyes lit up. The teacher-student relationship was much better than any fake friendship.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Li tapped the table and pondered for a moment.

The fact that Chairman Qin and Yang Mi's relationship is an open secret has brought her many benefits, but it has also made them enemies in the eyes of many others.

But that's how it is when you choose sides; it's hard to please both. Yang Mi is lucky to be able to have her cake and eat it too. If it weren't for Fan Xiaopang, or even a couple of years ago when her relationship with Qin Dong was so bad, she could have been ruined by both of them.

Yang Mi now has various advantages, and the company will also provide her with resources and protection. If she still can't overcome this, then she's just a useless person.

Waste is not worth Yan Li's attention!
...

In early March, Weibo officially surpassed 8 million users. It is expected that Weibo will officially surpass 10 million users in mid-March or late March, and if all goes well, the speed will be even faster.

At that time, the ice and snow incident had passed, and although the X-ray scandal had a strong aftereffect, its momentum had almost died down.

Therefore, after Weibo surpassed 1000 million users, it began to associate itself with Yan Li and promote him.

After this wave of publicity, Weibo will further expand its influence, which also means that it has completed its initial stage, has the strength and confidence to compete with major blogs, and has begun to vie for the top spot in social media.

In order to stabilize Weibo's traffic, Yan Li also collaborated with Weibo on the early casting work of "New Three Kingdoms".

As one of the Four Great Classical Novels, the public's attention to it goes without saying. Previously, the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" held an audition program, which became one of the most popular talent shows of the year.

"New Three Kingdoms" cannot be auditioned in public. After all, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is about young men and women, which is suitable for talent shows, while "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is about a group of men, and most of them need actors with special characteristics and mature actors, so they cannot be copied directly.

But even without open auditions, there's still plenty of online buzz. Just the question of who should play Zhuge Liang alone can spark thousands of online arguments.

The production team released a mix of true and false information, conducted related interviews, and released audition videos and costume photos, but the buzz waned, which can be attributed to the production team's poor publicity and Weibo management.

The TV series "New Three Kingdoms" and Weibo also understood this point, and from the very beginning, they included all the most popular celebrities.

Fan Xiaopang played Diao Chan, Zhou Xun played Xiao Qiao, Xiao Yanzi played Lady Gan, Huang Xiaoming played Zhuge Liang, Liu Huohua played Liu Bei, Chen Kun played Zhou Yu, Tong Dawei played Sun Quan, and so on.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's generating a huge amount of buzz, with supporters, critics, refutations, and counter-arguments. Some topics have even rivaled the popularity of previous Weibo goddesses.

After all, there are some female celebrities you might not recognize, but there are very few people who have never heard of or read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or know about Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Whether Fan Bingbing or Liu Yifei is prettier can be resolved by personal aesthetics, but whether Guan Yu or Zhao Yun is more powerful requires a debate.

Amidst all the commotion, the first important character for the new Three Kingdoms series has been confirmed and officially announced.

Nie Yuan plays Zhao Yun, also known as Zhao Zilong!
This character is one of the less controversial ones within "New Three Kingdoms," which is to set a good precedent.

Nie Yuan himself is the handsome and dashing type. He previously played the highly praised Luo Cheng. While I wouldn't say his portrayal of Zhao Yun is perfect, it is relatively fitting.

Sure enough, although many people still found fault with it, most of the reviews were quite positive.

However, subsequent casting decisions were not as smooth as Nie Yuan's. There were not only external controversies, but also endless internal discussions.

The several cast members announced successively are all well-known characters, but not the core of the entire series.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao – Dong Xuan and Tong Yaya
One of them is one of our own, and the other looks alike; they're natural sisters.

Sima Yi – Zhang Songwen
Initially, he was a popular candidate for Liu Bei's successor, but there was internal controversy surrounding him. Later, when he released information to test the waters, it also attracted a lot of resistance.

As a result, Zhang Songwen was not chosen to play Liu Bei, but instead played Sima Yi, a role that also had a significant amount of screen time later in the story.

This character appears loyal but is actually treacherous. Zhang Songwen previously played Yang Guozhong in "The Legend of Yang Yuhuan," which was also a character who appeared to be a good person but harbored cunning.

Zhou Yiwei - Cao Pi

Originally, they considered casting him as Sun Quan, but Zhou Yiwei read the script and felt that Cao Pi, a cunning prince overshadowed by his father and threatened by his younger brother, was very compelling. In addition, he had many scenes with his old classmate and good friend Zhang Songwen, so he volunteered to play Cao Pi.

Lin Jiachuan also played Cao Zhen, a staunch supporter of Cao Pi, which can be considered as the three brothers jointly building the Great Wei.

Xun Yu – Guo Dongwen
Jia Xu – Wang Jinsong
Cheng Yu — Zhang Zhijian
These three were all recruited from the crew of the TV series "Da Ming Dynasty 1566".

Guo Dongwen's portrayal of Zhang Juzheng has a refined and gentlemanly feel, which is suitable for the role of the gentleman Xun Yu.

Wang Jinsong played Yang Jinshui, and Zhang Zhijian played Yan Shifan, both villains. So, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, two cunning strategists, were also cast.

Later, perhaps influenced by this, the production team felt that the actors in "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" were of good quality, so they went to find many more people.

The characters, such as Zheng Bichang, Zhao Zhenji, Gao Gong, Prince Yu, and Huang Jin, were either high-ranking officials of the Han and Wei dynasties or famous figures from various feudal lords. Even the two members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were played by Qi Dazhu and Jin Song as Dian Wei, and Zhu Qi and Yang Hanbin as Xiahou Dun.

It's fortunate that Jiajing and Hai Rui didn't come, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have survived like the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Besides "Da Ming Dynasty 1566", the production team of "New Three Kingdoms" also had their eyes on the actors of the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

You could call it hype, or you could interpret it as a tribute!
The plan includes having the old version of Liu Bei play Liu Biao, the old version of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei play an old general connected to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the old version of Cao Cao play a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, the old version of Lü Bu play Ding Yuan, the old version of Zhuge Liang make a cameo appearance as Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, and the old version of Sun Shangxiang play the role of Lady Wu, and so on.

Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario. It's uncertain whether we can actually invite them, how many we can invite, and whether this kind of use of memes will be out of place.

In addition, there is another benefit to interacting with the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

That means the old and new versions will inevitably be compared.

Considering the overall project, "New Three Kingdoms" cannot belittle itself. If it tries to criticize the old version, it will inevitably lack confidence and could easily backfire. If left unchecked, it could also be easy for someone to stir up trouble.

Instead of doing that, it would be better for the new Three Kingdoms to adopt a more humble approach from the beginning, actively interact with the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and respect and pay homage to the old version.

To put it bluntly, it's about seizing the moral high ground!

It was well-made; the new Three Kingdoms surpassed the original with the support of the old version.

If the filming wasn't good, it means there are still shortcomings. I should learn more from my seniors in the future.

But no matter what, both sides have a well-established tradition, love each other, and have a good relationship. We won't tolerate you toads trying to sow discord between them.

These supporting roles garnered considerable attention and maintained the show's popularity, though they also generated significant controversy.

Yan Li was used to this. Ever since "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", as long as it was an adaptation, the casting could never be perfect and satisfy everyone.

If Yan Li used to be indifferent, now he even hopes for more controversy, because he's become more active on Weibo.

That's why you have to say the industry chain is good and the layout is complete; you can even make money when you're being criticized.

Apart from a few core creators and some important supporting actors, Yan Li was involved in the casting process, but most of the casting work was left to the staff of "New Three Kingdoms".

He only asked to give final approval, and if he felt any good roles were not suitable, he would send them back for re-selection.

This situation is rare, because most actors are talented, or if Yan Li doesn't recognize them but their appearance is acceptable, he won't add to the workload for his subordinates.

Besides the casting for "New Three Kingdoms", the casting of Yan Li in the movie "The Message" has also garnered a lot of attention.

Last year, "Painted Skin" was Yi An's first film project, and this year it's "The Message," with an investment of 6000-8000 million yuan, but publicly stated as 1 million yuan.

"The Message" and "New Three Kingdoms" were also projects that Yi An fully controlled and invested in and valued the most in 2008.

While films like "The Road to Awakening" and "Bodyguards and Assassins" are also big productions, they either have lower budgets or are not primarily controlled by Yi An.

Even though Yan Li was involved, he didn't take it as seriously as he did in the previous two projects, at least he didn't personally serve as the chief producer.

Nowadays, Yan Li rarely appears as a producer, but he does appear as a supervisor or executive producer on some projects.

Such a project, to some extent, represents Yan Li's emphasis on it, and it could even be considered that he was personally in charge of it, just like the previous "Painted Skin".

The filming of "The Message" started around the same time as "New Three Kingdoms," around August.

Although it's still early, the actors have already been mostly selected!

The two female leads are soldiers. The captain, Sun Honglei, is a traitor on the surface but an undercover agent. Qiao Zhenyu plays Bai Xiaonian, an actor. Jin Shenghuo, who is under investigation, seeks out Liang Guanhua.

Other minor supporting roles are not that important. Yi An will be assigned some, the director will assign a few, and the rest can be found if necessary.

The two villains who haven't been decided yet are Japanese officer Takeda and Wang Tianxiang, the head of the Special Service Department.

Originally, Yan Li was considered for the role, but he didn't want to play a Japanese soldier or a traitor. Moreover, acting with two soldiers too often would easily make people tired of him. It would be better to give the opportunity to "Painted Skin 2", which is likely to be filmed.

Another point is that "The Message" is a patriotic film, and the rivalry between Bingbing and Fan Bingbing is a sensitive topic. A publicity strategy involving a love triangle is really not suitable for this project.

Since Yan Li isn't going to act, and the other main cast members are all big stars, these two wanted to find some big-name stars to take the role.

The Japanese officer had originally considered Deng Chao, but he is now fully focused on filming "The Road to Awakening". Compared to Sun Honglei, he is under more pressure and dares not be distracted. Moreover, he still has to fulfill the filming commitments he had previously made.

Later, they considered casting Tong Dawei, but after a trial, director Gao Qunshu felt that his image and temperament were too gentle and soft, so they ultimately decided on Liu Huohua.

As for the other head of the secret service, he is played by Wang Zhiwen.

Looking at it this way, the cast of "The Message" is quite impressive, with Shuang Bing, Liu Huohua, Sun Honglei, Wang Zhiwen, Qiao Zhenyu, Liang Guanhua, and several guest stars, making it definitely a blockbuster.

And like "Painted Skin", it still features an all-mainland cast.

This is truly stubbornness. After "Assembly", Feng Xiaogang's new film is said to be starring Shu Qi, while Yan Li's two films with investments of over 100 million yuan all use mainland actors.

That is to say, there is still a pair of soldiers holding things together; otherwise, even Yan Li would have to put in a lot of effort to attract investment.

As for "Bodyguards and Assassins," it is still in the funding stage, and casting has not officially started yet. We'll have to discuss that later.

To be honest, Yan Li doesn't really trust Chen Kexin right now. He's looked into her background and doesn't have a good impression of her.

He's definitely going to send people to the "Bodyguards and Assassins" project. It's fine to be a little greedy; no film crew doesn't make extra money. But if they think he's a sucker, Yan Li will show them who's really in charge. He's already dealt with Feng Xiaogang, so why should he be afraid of some small-time thug trying to make a living in the mainland?

Others may worry about the director's status in Hong Kong, but Yan Lizhen doesn't care. You play the united front card, I'll play the economic card. Let's see if the Hong Kong entertainment circle will disregard the overall situation of the Hong Kong entertainment circle and fight to the death for a director.

Hong Kong people tend to stick together, but that's only in a relative sense.

Having seen the true face of capitalism so often, if someone truly harms the interests of others, the person being protected will quickly become a "black sheep."

Therefore, many Hong Kong directors are really unlucky to encounter Yan Li, because he has no filter for Hong Kong and Taiwan, nor any related concerns.

Work hard and make money; everyone benefits. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with severely…

...

Yan Li has been very busy lately, and only has a few spare moments to spend with his parents and then with Chairman Qin, leaving very little time for others.

With Huo Li also helping out, Yan Li was drawn away, further reducing the space available to the others.

For example, Wang Ou, apart from being Yan Li's female companion a few times, never saw Yan Li again, and the matter with Bai Bing also came to nothing, forcing the impatient Bai Bing to reluctantly give a hint once.

What made Wang Ou even more anxious was Yang Mi.

This young girl with blond hair came on strong and had someone backing her up, so Wang Ou felt that his position as Yi'an's second sister was somewhat in danger.

After much deliberation, Wang Ou decided he couldn't wait any longer and prepared to take the initiative.

Having found out that Yan Li was working at Yi An, she went straight to Yan Li's office and invited him out to play.

Yan Li looked at her speechlessly: "I'm so tired of socializing every day, and you want to go out and have fun?!"

When other artists take a break, they like to go to karaoke or have a party, but if Yan Li has time off, he would rather stay home and watch dramas or do some exercise than attend any parties or entertainment.

So unless it's a special situation or a gathering within the film crew, Yan Li would never "waste" his private time.

"A small gathering at a friend's new shop, it's quite quiet..."

Wang Ou tried to persuade her in various ways, but Yan Li looked at her calmly and said, "Just say what you have to say."

Seeing that Yan Li remained unmoved, Wang Ou became anxious: "What's the point of watching dancing and yoga at home every day? Let's go to the store; there are new shows to watch."

"Ok?"

Yan Li became slightly interested. He wasn't tired of Wang Ou and Wu Jiani's fancy tricks, but they weren't as exciting as before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attracted by Huo Li's racing event.

When Wang Ouyi mentioned a new program, Yan Li was somewhat excited. The last time she mentioned it, it was a duet dance, which allowed him to appreciate the beauty of dance.

Could it be that Yang Rong was persuaded by this young woman?!

That's impossible. Before the New Year, Wang Ou set a trap, and Yang Rong almost fell for it. She was so scared that she ignored Yan Li for several days and still harbored a lot of resentment.

Moreover, given how much Wang Ou cares about this matter, if there were any breakthroughs, she would have already been eager to show them off.

With a quick thought and combining it with the previous daily intelligence, I roughly made some guesses.

"The day after tomorrow, my parents are going back to their hometown tomorrow, I need to spend time with them."

"Row."

Wang Ou nodded. Two days was a good time for her to prepare, and it would be even better if she could persuade Wu Jiani to help.

Unfortunately, Wu Jiani was not interested in this.

Wang Ou was somewhat dissatisfied. Perhaps because the dance studio was doing well, Wu Jiani had become more confident. She felt that Wu hadn't been as cooperative and obedient as before lately.

This worried Wang Ou a little. She was afraid that Wu Jiani would become too ambitious and leave on her own, and even more afraid that the girl would think too much and leave completely, no longer having any connection with her and Yan Li.

Although the probability is low, it is not entirely impossible.

Despite Yang Rong's various resistances and her constant talk about breaking up with Yan Li and living a peaceful life after being temporarily captured by thieves, she was not as she seemed to be. She was actually very attentive to Yan Li's affairs.

Although Wu Jiani was well-behaved, Wang Ou couldn't quite figure out what she was really thinking.

Wu initially came to Yan Li because he wanted to curry favor with him, and although he has gained some benefits, he hasn't stood out much. In any case, he can't compare to Wang or Yang.

She wasn't particularly favored, and was somewhat of a Wang Ou accessory, so the dance studio provided her with a way out.

It was fine when I was younger, but as I get older, it's hard to guarantee that I won't have any ulterior motives.

Wang Ou's eagerness to help Bai Bing this time was perhaps influenced by Wu Jiani. If Wu were to turn against him or leave, Bai Bing could fill the vacancy.

Compared to her close friend Yang Rong, although she also had a relationship with Wu Jiani, there was a lot of exploitation involved.

Yang Rong was unaware that Wu Jiani was willing to break off and replace her.

Ignoring Wu Jiani, Wang Ou summoned Bai Bing and even kept him at his home that night to give him instructions.

Bai Bing was a little shy, but he still studied diligently.

Success or failure hinges on this moment. Sister Ou has paved the way for her like this. If she still can't do it, she'll either be blacklisted and sidelined, or she'll have to go and be with an old man.

When the appointed time arrived, Wang Ou tried to contact Yan Li again, but was told to wait a couple of days.

With over 1000 million Weibo users, his promotional efforts have been fully rolled out, and he's currently very busy.

Yan Li was lustful, but he understood where his lust came from. Except in a few cases, Yan Li always clearly distinguished between work and beauty.

Helpless, Wang Ou could only comfort the somewhat disappointed soldiers: "Good things come to those who wait, let's wait a little longer."

What could the stormtroopers do but accept it?

Feeling a little embarrassed, Wang Ou simply invited her out to dinner. Bai was from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, so they found a Shaanxi restaurant.

It was lunchtime, and all the private rooms were booked, so we found a relatively secluded spot. Just as we ordered our food, we saw the TV hanging in the lobby being turned on, ready to watch the news broadcast.

"Let me tell you, today might not actually be a bad thing. I know President Yan; if he stands someone up, he'll definitely offer compensation..."

Halfway through her speech, Wang Ou suddenly stopped. Bai Bing was puzzled and was about to ask a question when she stopped him and followed Wang Ou's gaze.

On the television screen in the lobby, Yan Li, dressed in a sharp suit, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a luxurious office, gazing at the bustling night view of Beijing below, while a voice-over played.

You only smell my perfume, but you don't see my sweat.

The scene shifts, and Yan Li, now dressed as a soldier, is performing a guard duty scene on a sunny film set.

You have your rules, I have my choices.

In the next scene, Yan Li is wearing a somewhat cheap suit and seems to be recommending something to someone. The document bag has the title "Conquest" written on it.

The other person said something, his expression greasy and lewd. Yan Li shook his head, then resolutely turned and left.

You deny my present, I decide my future.

In the scene, Yan Li shakes hands with someone, as if reaching some kind of agreement, and then the scene of the filming of "Happy Seven Fairies" is inserted.

Then, a few people's mocking and disdainful expressions flashed by, along with various criticisms and pessimistic views from the media and newspapers—all of which were real reports unearthed back then.

Then the screen brightens, displaying news reports about the huge success of "Happy Seven Fairies," finally focusing on Yan Li backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, watching the Seven Fairies' performance.

You mock me for having nothing, unworthy of love; I pity you for always waiting.

A girl whose face was obscured walked by in the distance. Yan Li, dressed in ordinary clothes, watched silently. Behind him, two people pointed at him and laughed.

Then a luxury sports car drove up, the girl got in, and held hands with the driver. The camera panned to the driver's seat, where the man holding hands with the girl was none other than the glamorous and spirited Yan Li.

You may underestimate our youth, but we will prove whose era this is.

A bearded man was talking to a reporter, and the caption read, "Young people shouldn't be so hot-blooded."

Then comes a fast cut, showing Yan Li busy at banquets, on film sets, in company meetings, at cinema ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and finally celebrating with a group of people by opening champagne.

Dreams are a journey destined to be lonely, and along the way there will inevitably be doubts and ridicule.

In the next scene, Yan Li appears in front of a board with the Weibo logo and gives a high-five to the people around him.

Then, while working at Weibo, he faced various doubts and suppression, as if he had returned to his early days as a newcomer.

But so what? Even if you're covered in wounds, you still have to live beautifully.

Yan Li continued to work diligently on Weibo, with various Weibo posts flashing across the screen, including posts about celebrities joining the platform, Weibo goddesses, and support for winter sports.

Then there's a data trend chart showing Weibo's user count climbing from 0 to over 1000 million.

The scene returns to the luxurious office with floor-to-ceiling windows. Yan Li, with a calm expression, picks up a document and walks out of the office, where cheering employees await.

I am Yan Li, and I speak for myself.

This advertisement incorporates some of Yan Li's personal experiences, making it highly persuasive.

It also incorporates many elements that young people like, such as self-expression, inspiration, success, showing off, and face-slapping.

Yan Li initially felt that this way of shooting was a bit flamboyant, even a bit awkward, but after getting a lot of people to watch it, the reviews were quite positive, especially among young people, and the response was very enthusiastic.

In this day and age, people haven't gotten tired of those pretentious and childish plots yet; this is exactly the kind of vibe they're looking for.

Anyway, in the restaurant where Wang Ou and his group were, apart from a few people who muttered a few sour remarks, most people thought the advertisement was very interesting.

Some were also moved and inspired by the advertisement, their blood boiling, or they thought Yan Li was handsome and gushed over him on the spot.

In the past two years, idol dramas from Taiwan have been very popular in China, with countless young girls being captivated by the charming CEOs and young masters. But no matter how good they are, they are just acting, while Yan Li is a real domineering CEO.

Previously, Yan Li could only be marketed through press releases. People knew he was handsome, rich, and capable, but they didn't have a direct, intuitive understanding of him.

This advertisement, in terms of its content, image, temperament, and the domineering and spirited tone it exudes, is impeccable and brimming with charm.

Bai Bing's cheeks flushed red, and the thought of being able to be with Yan Li one day filled him with a mixture of shyness and joy, his eyes even drooling.

Wang Ou seemed to be in relatively good condition, but for some reason, she went to the restroom again after just leaving the house and didn't come back for quite a while.

The two had originally planned to go somewhere fun after dinner, but Wang Ou canceled the plans and hurriedly drove home to change his clothes.

Meanwhile, the advertisement that Yan Li endorsed aired on multiple television stations and quickly swept across the internet, with netizens discussing it everywhere on Weibo, blogs, Tieba, and Tianya.

[Wow, that's awesome! Regardless of Yan Li's character, he's in his twenties and worth billions. I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams.]

Starting from scratch, working his way up at a young age, getting slapped in the face repeatedly—it feels so good!

[We were both born in 80, but one of them is a big boss, while I'm spending the whole night in an internet cafe.]

I was fortunate enough to meet President Yan once. Her aura was unmatched. Even among a group of big shots around her, she stood out from the crowd. Several girls asked for her phone number.

I'd like to ask, what is the blue sound wave symbol that keeps appearing at the end of the advertisement?

[Weibo, you can just download it online. It's a social media platform founded by Yan Li, and it's quite fun.]

I just found out that Yan Li created Weibo; no wonder he's so popular.

[Pshaw, it's just hype. Yan Li has been marketing himself as a business genius for years, and now he's linking Weibo to his marketing to attract traffic. Don't be brainwashed by this kind of motivational advertising.]

[Stop arguing. What's wrong with marketing? They have the ability. If you're so capable, why don't you do marketing too?]

I have Yan Li's QQ number. DM me if you're interested...

[Damn, I work for an advertising company, and my boss is forcing me to work overtime analyzing and studying this ad.]

【Hahaha】

【…】

Not only advertising companies, but also various internet companies were amazed. They realized that advertising could be done in this way, with each company acting as its own spokesperson.

But everyone soon realized that this trick wasn't so easy to imitate.

Who is Yan Li? A gossip regular, a rising star, a self-made entertainment tycoon, one of the most famous young entrepreneurs, a representative of the post-80s generation, and a recognized business genius.

In terms of image, it can quickly gain favor; in terms of age, it can quickly bridge the gap with young people, the largest group of netizens.

Even setting aside these accolades, the sheer number of resources Yan Li can access is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Putting everything else aside, the TV commercial time alone is no small sum. If the advertising doesn't meet expectations, the money will be lost.

Yan Li is different. Over the years, Yi An has made countless connections with television stations and channels, which allows her to promote her advertisements at very low prices or even for free.

Countless business owners felt regret and were amazed by Yan Li's abilities; the title of business genius was well-deserved.

This is a textbook example of marketing advertising. If the follow-up promotion is effective, and the combination of Weibo and Yanli is implemented, it could be a resounding success with unstoppable momentum…
