Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 332 officially announces "Goblin" and the story of Chi Pan Xia Yu.
There was a two-second silence in the meeting room.

Mr. Li, sitting opposite, stared blankly at Sheng Ning.

Sheng Ning asked in surprise, "What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"……no problem."

Everyone was silent.

Indeed, this matter doesn't seem to involve Sheng Ning. We can't really be stupid enough to let Sheng Ning "pay upfront," can we?

But Sheng Ning, that woman, is really something...

Aren't you on good terms with Ikeno now?
Why don't you play by the rules?
In response, Sheng Ning said that it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a younger brother, but it's no good if she doesn't have money.

“…Sheng Ning is right.”

Seeing that the debate had come to an end, Mr. Gong, who was at the head of the table, casually took over the conversation and looked at everyone: "We cannot deny ourselves, but we can't continue to do things the way we did before in terms of publicity... We can take a roundabout approach."

"I also hope... that 'Goblin' won't disappoint."

As he said this, he gave Sheng Ning a complicated look.

Although Sheng Ning appeared very "assertive" at the meeting today, everyone knew that the kiwifruit, Chi Ye, and others, as major projects she strongly advocated, had actually been completely sidelined due to various reasons and coincidences.

If "Goblin" flops, Sheng Ning's influence in the kiwi industry may be severely affected.

In short, it seems that this project does indeed have the potential to "stir up" the entertainment industry.

dong dong dong.

A rapid knocking sounded, and the secretary hurried in, whispering a few words in Mr. Gong's ear.

President Gong was taken aback, then looked at Sheng Ning again.

"Sheng Ning, are you very familiar with Hunan TV?"

……

Mango TV ultimately took the "brave" step, planning to leverage Chi Ye and Sheng Ning's relationship to collaborate with Kiwi.

However, it is clear that such a collaboration is unlikely to occur given that the company had already acquired exclusive rights to "Goblin" and subsequently invested heavily in promotional resources.

Among them, Ikeno was also "swept" in, because the broadcast of "Goblin" on Hunan TV was an excellent choice and stage. Since "My Love from the Star" failed to work together at the time, "Goblin" obviously had the hope of continuing this connection.

From the perspective of the work's subsequent development and promotion, airing on Hunan TV is obviously a very good option.

Therefore, this is a tripartite meeting, except that Ikeno's side will not participate in the details of the negotiations. If it doesn't work out, then Mango TV can only apologize, but it should be fine to broadcast it on satellite TV.

Thus, by mid-October, the first draft of "Goblin" had been officially released, no longer just the episodes shown at previous screenings, and the promotional efforts of several partner platforms were gradually increasing.

Kiwifruit and mango have finally completed the first round of cooperation negotiations.

Specific details are unknown, but it is said that Hunan TV and iQiyi signed a very lenient and extravagant cooperation agreement, promising iQiyi to give iQiyi's self-produced dramas a green light for the next two years.

In layman's terms, the project led by kiwifruit will be broadcast on Mango TV "free of charge" for the next two years, provided that policies and the subject matter allow it.

Nevertheless, the condition offered by Mango TV still caused a sensation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Mango TV is still Mango TV. While its influence on satellite TV is currently waning, it's definitely not dead. In particular, satellite TV on Mango TV remains a standard feature for any major drama series.

Kiwifruit's self-produced dramas have been developing well in recent years, but they just lack the label of "deep cultural heritage". If they can reach a cooperation with Mango TV in the next two years, it will indeed be a strategic upgrade.

For Mango TV, acquiring "Goblin" also brought them the "upgrade" and "online presence" they desired...

It can only be said that both sides are people who care about their reputation, and it was indeed a case of each getting what they wanted.

Late October.

Kiwifruit, Mango TV, and the official Weibo account of "Goblin" have officially established a cooperative relationship, and as the popularity of "Goblin" continues to rise, they have officially announced the broadcast time of "Goblin".

@kiwi:【……】

The two online streaming platforms that collaborated, as well as Hunan TV, Chi Ye Studio, and the personal Weibo accounts of actors such as Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei, all successively forwarded and officially announced the news.

Yes.

The release date for "Goblin" has finally been set for the end of November. The original plan was to release it in early November, but Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei had to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals and other engagements during that period, so they couldn't find the time.

In addition, according to the scheduling of "Goblin", if it is scheduled for release in early November, it will miss the big wave of popularity during the New Year's Eve period.

Therefore, the release date was set for the end of November, which would coincide with the hype of being the first drama of the new year and the start of the new year. So, all three parties agreed to set the release date for November 30th.

"November 30th is also a good date."

Inside a hotel in the capital city.

Chi Ye sat on the sofa and nodded: "I don't know what's wrong with these two companies. How come they're more confident than me, the main creator? They even want to create the first hit of the year?"

“…Brother Chi, there’s no need to be so modest.”

Coco sat in the chair and glanced at Jin Xia, who was sitting opposite Chi Ye. The old lady was engrossed in tinkering with a small sculpture, looking very focused and serious, and seemed not to have heard their conversation.

Coco paused for a moment before saying, "Brother Chi, our viewership has been declining recently. 'Goblin' is quite popular right now... but half of it is from trolls and paid commenters trying to muddy the waters... I don't know why, but I'm feeling a little nervous about this release date..."

"Why are you nervous?"

Coco also felt that she was not good at handling pressure, but she always said what she thought in front of Chi Ye.

and so…

Are you ready to make it official?

She let out a long sigh of relief.

The old lady opposite was stunned, clearly taken aback by Coco's sudden topic. She looked up, her peach blossom eyes blinking in confusion.

Official...official announcement?
What was officially announced?
Teacher Chi didn't tell me that...

Ikeno's expression remained unchanged. Coco gritted her teeth, but still forced herself to say, "Personally, I think... it's still a bit early..." "Look."

Chino pointed at Coco with a smooth hand: "You can go and complete the resignation procedures now."

cocoa:"……"

Damn, I knew it!

You're inhuman, Chi-ge! Go away already!

This summer, realizing what had happened, she felt a bit caught off guard and panicked. She put down the sculpture and asked, "Official announcement? What...what official announcement?"

"What do you say?"

Ikeno glanced at her.

This summer, her beautiful peach blossom eyes quickly pondered for three seconds before she said dryly, "Teacher Chi, you need to think this through. Coco is right, it's really too early. If you make it official, then... who will make money for me?"

Chi Ye paused, looking at Jin Xia who was pretending not to care. This time, he didn't joke with her. He just walked over, sat down next to her, and held her muddy little hands: "Mainly, I'm envious of your family's wealth and want to settle things quickly to take a shortcut."

This summer, she was stunned and stared blankly at Chi Ye: "Huh?"

Chi Ye was a little unhappy: "You're not happy? Do you think I'm not good enough to be a live-in son-in-law?"

This summer, she glanced at Coco, then lowered her head and muttered softly, "Teacher Chi, you're not a live-in son-in-law."

"Huh? You want me to be your son?"

Chi Ye was shocked.

This summer, she stared at him blankly: "I just feel... you really don't need to do this, Teacher Chi. Your career... you never interfere with my career, so I don't want to affect you either. Really, this is fine. Anyway, you've already 'scolded' me back, and I'm really happy, Teacher Chi, really."

She used "really" three times in a row, both to tell Chino her feelings and to tell him that she really didn't care about the criticism from outside.

Because... I've really gotten used to it.

He's a top star, still at his peak. Any woman who comes into contact with him will be cursed for three generations.

Moreover... since her debut, she seems to have never lacked criticism, it's just a matter of how loud it is. If this drama queen didn't have a heart with extremely strong stress resistance, how could she have made it this far?
She's smarter than anyone else, and she's better at self-regulation than anyone else...

Of course, this is on the premise that she only encounters things she doesn't care about. If it's related to Ikeno, she might be in great pain.

Ikeno didn't want her to suffer.

He felt that this incident might be an opportunity. Last time, the two of them were almost openly fighting each other with their respective die-hard fans, but in the end, they didn't officially announce it and the "collapse" didn't succeed.

Among the die-hard fans who still support him after the fan wars, and who "argue" with other large numbers of fans who have turned against him, there are probably many people who are just hoping for a lucky break.

Hmm... Ikeno never thought about washing away his fans, but if he really had to make a choice, he felt that taking the opportunity to completely transform his image, then making an official announcement, or even getting married, was not something he couldn't consider.

He really likes this summer, he likes her a lot.

Besides... who says an official announcement always means a "collapse"?

He has always believed that as an artist and actor, his works are his greatest source of confidence.

For him now, what he has in abundance is his work.

"Goblin" and "The Martian" are major projects that are expected to be released soon. In addition to these two, "The Wandering Earth," "My Sassy Girl," and "Lurking," which were registered before "The Martian" finished filming, are also top-tier works.

His career is about to reach an unprecedented peak, a peak that is destined to transcend the limitations of "traffic" and will be even more glorious than the "My Love from the Star" era.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a business going to fail.

Thinking this, Ikeno unconsciously spoke incoherently: "Since you put it that way, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager, who had initially felt a little smug and conflicted, immediately furrowed her handsome brows and mumbled, "I've changed my mind. It'll be an official announcement tomorrow."

Ikeno: "...Did your rebellious phase really get delayed by twenty years?"

Jin Xia: “…”

"Alright, since you're here today, let me tell you about that movie..."

Ikeno was preparing to have a good talk with the old lady about the new movie.

Just now.

Coco suddenly stood up abruptly, her face showing surprise and a bit of confusion.

"what happened?"

Ikeno and Jin Xia were both startled by her sudden movement.

“Chi…Brother Chi…Sister Xiaxia…”

Coco pointed to her phone: "Your...your relationship has been...officially announced."

"Ok?"

Chiye and Jinxia were stunned.

Officially announced?
What does it mean to be officially announced?
Still saying this?

And... how come the official announcement came out so soon after we mentioned this...? Who made the announcement? We, the parties involved, didn't even know!

Ikeno's smile vanished: "What exactly happened?"

Coco didn't say anything more, but handed the phone to Chi Ye, and then took out her spare work phone and started making calls like crazy.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind—Brother Chi must have hired a marketing account to expose her.

Must be!
Otherwise... how do you explain the photos circulating online of him and Jin Xia having intimate contact in private?

That's right. In early November, less than a week after the release date of "Goblin" was set, the film was still very popular and seemed to be completely unaffected by the various controversies. On the contrary, it had the opportunity to turn the popularity into an opportunity to improve its performance.

The various teams and investors who have been pushing things along have finally unleashed their "killer move."

—A close-up photo of Ikeno and Jin Xia.

Speaking of this, Chino and Jin Xia have always both valued and disregarded their private "privacy".

The emphasis here refers to the fact that both Ikeno and Jin Xia respect each other's careers. Just as the old lady herself said, Ikeno never interferes too much in her work.

Even later, when Ikeno's career had far surpassed hers, he never interfered with her work.

Ikeno Studio has been developing for so long, and it really needs this Asian female top star who is also experiencing explosive popularity this summer. Just imagine, what kind of quality would a studio be if it could sign two top stars at the same time?
But Ikeno never mentioned this matter.

Because he knew the Empress Dowager's personality, when the two first met, Chi Ye asked her, "Why did you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

The subtext is: With your family background, why are you even in the entertainment industry?
The old lady's answer was: "I like performing, and I like being liked."

Therefore, Chi Ye learned about her thoughts and realized that this girl, who was seriously late in her "rebellious phase," had her own understanding of the entertainment industry.

Perhaps in her eyes, the entertainment industry is a place full of "love and kindness"—at least that's how it is within the industry.

This is also the only place in her life where she can "escape" her family, "let herself go," and be free.
