Many of the top-of-the-line equipment had a limited lifespan. The rental alone would eat up more than half of the $5 million allocated by the higher-ups, not to mention the cost of other materials. Plus, the project staff hadn't been paid yet.
As the old saying went, even artists had to eat. Fang Zhao wouldn't mistreat his own people. Since the funding was depleted, the project would stop. He could resume whenever he could. Of course, the success of the first movement confirmed to Fang Zhao that Silver Wing wouldn't pass up this golden opportunity.
"Tsk — That's a deep question." Du Ang and the other two finally remembered that the initial investment for the project was only $5 million, and that was after Du Ang had asked the higher-ups for more. If they had followed the initial funding, it would have been even less.
Given the current state of affairs, $5 million was indeed too little. It hadn't been easy for Fang Zhao and company to launch Polar Light.
"Don't worry. I'll report the funding to the higher-ups. It won't be as little as last time. Plus, I'm sure your bonuses will be substantial," Du Ang said.
Even an idiot would know that Silver Wing's virtual idol was about to rise. How could the company not support him? Not to mention the possibility of another "epic."
The kid was going to strike it rich. He might even be recruited by Flying Pegasus. That was a goal Ya Erlin couldn't achieve despite all his efforts.
Du Ang calmed down a little after being doused with cold water by such a realistic question. "Speaking of which..."
Du Ang scanned the room, his gaze lingering briefly on Zu Wen and company. "You guys better keep your mouths shut. Don't talk nonsense."
Zu Wen stifled a laugh. "Got it."
The outside world now thought that Polar Light's debut with "epic" was a big move that Silver Wing had been holding back for so long this year. Even in an interview they had just seen online, when Silver Wing's spokesperson was asked about this, he only smiled calmly without saying a word. He had a mysterious look on his face. But the project team could guess that the spokesperson's back was drenched in sweat.
Other than smiling and playing it mysterious, what else could he say? Say he didn't know? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
If that happened, Silver Wing would be the industry's biggest joke of the year. It might even go down in history.
Silver Wing could not afford to lose face like this.
After Du Ang and the other two left, Fang Zhao received thanks from Bei Zhi and Ji Polun. Fang Zhao had added their names to the project team, which greatly increased their exposure. For singers and actors like them, this was a very good boost to their popularity.
Bei Zhi himself had not expected that Fang Zhao would add his name to the production team even though he had only helped out on the 50th floor for three days during his free time, moving equipment for three days. Even though Bei Zhi was at the tail end of the list, it was enough to make Bei Zhi excited. Just now, his agent told him that his name was becoming more popular on the internet. No matter what, it was also a kind of popularity. He had an advantage over the other rookies.
Super happy! Super excited!
"Hehe, hehehehe, hahahaha!"
In the newcomer's dormitory, Bei Zhi was as excited as a spasming sheep, running around the room.
The other three rookies were also envious. What should he say? Luck was hard to fathom.
After receiving the thanks and congratulations from Bei Zhi and Ji Polun, Fang Zhao browsed through the comments online and took a cursory look at the reactions of the outside world. Then he went to find the more popular media outlets to comment on this matter. They were the true guides of public opinion.
One of the most popular media outlets, "Prairie Fire," seemed to have swallowed up the "Yanzhou Derby" that had been mentioned a few days ago. Now, the entire article was speculating on the deeper meaning behind Silver Wing's move, as well as speculating on Silver Wing's next step. They asserted that Silver Wing had definitely started preparing for this virtual reality project a long time ago. As for the various rumors from before, they were just smoke bombs.
To prove their guesses to the public, "Prairie Fire" even invited expert professors to the show. Experts wouldn't lie, right?
For the live broadcast, "Prairie Fire" invited two people. One was Professor Bradley from Yanzhou University's School of History, who specialized in the Period of Destruction. The other was Kou Da, a researcher at the Yanzhou Institute of Science who specialized in biological changes during the Period of Destruction.
Both of them were well-known figures in their respective research circles. Their words were authoritative, and no one would doubt the veracity of their words in the field of research.
In the live broadcast, Bradley analyzed the process of the cataclysm in the "Divine Punishment" music video from a professional point of view, as well as the sequence, location, and scale of the meteorites and earthquakes. His conclusion was that the music video was consistent with real history. Although the virtual idol didn't exist, he couldn't find any fault with the background. It was much more rigorous than some movies from the Period of Destruction.
Professor Kou Da from the Yanzhou Institute of Science was the same. After analyzing every biological change from a professional perspective, his conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with the music video. There had been so many biological changes during the Period of Destruction, but in the music video, many easily confusing details had been noted. It was so rigorous that he wanted to have a chat with the consultant behind the music video.
On the live broadcast, the two hosts had a look that said, "Let's see how many secrets we can unearth." They concluded, "Therefore, we speculate that Silver Wing definitely has a formidable team of consultants behind this project, and they are definitely well-known in the industry. They have signed confidentiality agreements and have yet to reveal themselves. It goes to show that Silver Wing has put a lot of thought into this project. They must have been preparing for a long time. "
On the 50th floor of Silver Wing Media, Zu Wen and the others turned to look at Fang Zhao.
A formidable team of consultants?
Haha.
Everyone outside was waiting for Silver Wing's next move. In fact, many people inside Silver Wing were also waiting. They were waiting for the reaction of the company's top management. This was not an ordinary newcomer's debut. It had attracted too much attention, and they did not dare to act rashly. Even now, the chief spokesperson could only smile without saying a word.
Inside his office, Du Ang had discussed with Ya Erlin and Julian. He had planned to ask the higher-ups for money, but there hadn't been any response so far. He decided to use this as an opportunity to probe. But before he could do so, he received a text from his direct superior. Du Ang nearly dropped the glass in his hand. His face turned white.
"What's up, Old Du?" Ya Erlin and Julian asked hurriedly when they saw Du Ang looking like a mouse that had seen a cat.
"Manager Shi wants us to call Fang Zhao up for a meeting," Du Ang replied, steadying his glass.
"All three of us are going?" Julian pointed to himself.
"Yes, Manager Shi said three of us and Fang Zhao. That's four of us. No one missing."
"Which floor?" Ya Erlin asked. Which floor the meeting was held corresponded to the position of the person hosting the meeting. Generally speaking, the higher the floor, the higher the position of the person hosting the meeting. This meeting had to have something to do with the virtual idol and "epic." Knowing where the meeting was held would give them a better understanding of the purpose of the meeting through their contacts.
Du Ang gulped, pointed upward, and said in a trembling voice, "The top floor."
In the conference room on the top floor, there was always only one host — the company's biggest boss.
