After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 196 Boycott
By the end of July or the beginning of August, "Honor of Kings" was scheduled for release.

Although it wasn't a primetime drama, Yu Sijia was quite content.

What if it does well when it airs, and given its exciting ensemble cast and novel subject matter, what if it catches the eye of higher authorities and gets picked up by a TV station after its run ends?
Yuska instructed the publicity department not to be stingy with spending money on advertising.

In today's information-saturated age, the saying "good wine needs no bush" is almost no longer applicable.

Viewers have so many choices every day; if we don't actively bring them things to their doorstep, who will even notice them?
She can't let her artists work hard for more than two months, and the behind-the-scenes staff spend so much time editing and post-production, only to have their efforts go unnoticed because she's unwilling to spend money on promotion, can she?

Harai sent messages to Yuska after filming wrapped up and after the film was scheduled for release.

Although selling the copyright was essentially a one-off deal for Tenglong, Harai Ichi participated in the entire script review process, which shows that she cherishes her work and wants to do her best even when adapting it into a film or television series, so that the manga fans will be satisfied.

Harai also promoted "Glory" online, and even released a teaser trailer online one after the other with the production team.

It must be said that Yuska made the right choice by spending money on set design to improve the overall quality of the film.

As soon as the pilot episode was released online, it sparked intense discussion on a small scale.

The initial outburst occurred in the comments section of Harai Ichi's Weibo post.

Although Harai Hajime only has a little over a million followers on Weibo, which seems like a small number compared to celebrities, these followers are all active fans, and almost all of them have read the manga that made Harai Hajime famous.

Therefore, the discussion about the trailer for "Honor of Kings" first broke out under the video by Yuan Jingyi.

Wow! I never thought the shonen manga I followed in high school would be adapted into a movie! And it looks really good, it brings back so many memories!

"I had seen a few Reuters photos before and thought they were pretty good. This teaser trailer has made me want to watch it first."

"As a manga fan, I have to say, it's pretty faithful to the original. Every member of the main characters looks very similar to the manga character. I'm planning to keep watching."

"This is Hara-sensei's first manga to be adapted into a film or television series, I absolutely have to watch it."

"I don't think I recognize any of these actors? They look pretty good, though? This is supposed to be a shonen manga, so they should cast young people."

……

The response to the video posted by Haraiichi was quite positive.

Coincidentally, after "Glory" was scheduled for release, "Youth Manual," which Tang Cheng had previously filmed, was also scheduled for release.

The two TV series are not broadcast on the same online platform.

Although Wei Ning's reputation had suffered a setback online before, it must be admitted that Tang Cheng is quite capable of clearing his name.

At least by August, Wei Ning's online reputation seemed to be showing signs of recovery.

Wei Ning has a cat-like face with long, narrow eyes and a slightly round, short face. This face is quite attractive in front of the camera and looks very photogenic.

In the trailer for "Youth Handbook," Wei Ning looks quite good in just a few dozen seconds.

While in her office, You Sijia received a WeChat message from Ling Shuangyue.

[Ling Shuangyue: I saw online that Tenglong is going to fight Tang Cheng? How about it, are you confident?]

The conflict Ling Shuangyue is talking about now is not just about the two TV series being scheduled for release one after the other, but also about their competition for the prime summer slot, as well as the feud between Tenglong and Tang Cheng and Guo Xin.

During the time it takes for the TV series to progress, the friction between Tenglong and Tangcheng does not disappear.

Tang Yayi still wants to bring Guo Xin back, but netizens' attention is limited. They may have been initially interested in the PPT that Tenglong revealed and sparked discussions, but as time goes by, after venting their anger, they will no longer spend extra energy or attention to follow up.

Tang Cheng wanted to use the shift in public attention to the newly occurring events to completely suppress the Guo Xin incident. But this was not what You Sijia wanted to see.

Fortunately, Yue Xiangrong, who is above Guo Xin, was recently investigated by the inspection team.

It is said that the scene of Yue Xiangrong accepting bribes was filmed.

In the past, Yue Xiangrong and Guo Xin colluded, and even when they went out to solicit prostitutes, nothing serious happened.

Issues with personal character cannot shake Yue Xiangrong's position.

However, this time, Yue Xiangrong accepted a huge amount of bribes. After being reported, Yue Xiangrong could no longer care about Guo Xin.

After Yue Xiangrong was investigated, many of his past offenses were uncovered. This made it even harder for him to control Guo Xin.

After learning that Yue Xiangrong was under investigation, You Sijia was still whispering to Meng Weiyuan.

Even if others didn't know, couldn't she see that Yue Xiangrong had been set up?

I just don't know who's behind this.

Meng Weiyuan sat half-upright on the bed, with one arm around You Sijia's shoulder, making her more comfortable leaning against him, while holding a philosophy book in his other hand.

Hearing this, Meng Weiyuan didn't even blink. "Isn't this normal? He's committed quite a few crimes, so naturally there are plenty of people who want to get rid of him. Just wait and see, he'll be caught eventually."

Those who had a personal grudge against Yue Xiangrong in the past, now is the best time to take revenge.

The saying "When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down" applies at any time.

Sure enough, just two days after Meng Weiyuan said those words to You Sijia, Yue Xiangrong was taken away and placed under investigation.

With Yue Xiangrong taken away, Guo Xin naturally lost his protector.

Previously, the police were hesitant to conduct a proper investigation and make an arrest due to Yue Xiangrong, Guo Xin's superior. But now the situation has changed, so how could Tang Yayi possibly stop the prosecutor's office?

Both Tenglong and Tangcheng are media companies, and they are very good at manipulating public opinion.

After Guo Xin was taken away, Tang Yayi immediately ordered people to control online speech in an attempt to sever ties between Guo Xin and the company.

But how could Tenglong's people let go of such a good opportunity to strike at their opponent?

Tang Chengyue wanted to suppress the news, but Tenglong wanted to publicize it to the point that everyone knew about it.

Therefore, the PPT that Tenglong had exposed earlier quickly came into everyone's view again, and this time, Tenglong's people also bribed paparazzi to follow and film Guo Xin's arrest.

Once this matter is exposed, it carries far more weight than any argument presented in an electronic PowerPoint presentation.

The latter is merely "evidence collected by the public," and whether or not one believes it is ultimately a matter of "free judgment."

However, when the judicial authorities get involved, and the prosecutors file a public prosecution, turning it into a criminal case, how can the weight be the same?

In an instant, public opinion surged like waves in a storm, one after another, each wave higher than the last, almost completely destroying Tangcheng Film and Television's reputation.

At the same time, it seemed natural that the public would spontaneously boycott Tang Cheng's "Youth Handbook".

Yusjia never expected things to develop this way.
