The next day, at Dongfang Entertainment Company.
Li Ran was sitting in his office, flirting with a beautiful secretary with a hot body.
The secretary was new and had just graduated from university two months ago. Li Ran had gotten his hands on her on the first day using despicable means.
Under his training, the beautiful secretary quickly turned from an innocent girl into a lewd child on the bed.
In just five minutes, Li Ran was burning with lust.
Just as he was about to take her on the spot, a sudden knock on the door made Li Ran's rising lust disappear without a trace.
The two of them quickly tidied up their clothes, and the beautiful secretary went to open the door.
The person who came was Li Ran's right-hand man, the head of the publicity department, Lin Sen.
Looking at the blushing female secretary, Lin Sen could tell that the two of them were having fun in the office. He was envious and jealous, and secretly cursed himself for coming at the wrong time.
Li Ran sat up straight and said, "Little Wang, you can go out first. I have something to say to Director Lin."
The beautiful secretary nodded and agreed, then left with her slender waist swaying.
Lin Sen walked in front of Li Ran and said, "Director Li, the promotion of Spring Autumn Competition is coming to an end. We've invested a total of 70 million in promotion fees. News of Spring Autumn Competition is all over major newspapers, magazines, the Internet, TV stations, and other places that can be promoted. "At the same time, Director Wang Jianjun and the main actors, Lee Hoon and Xu Hairong, will be guests of Jiang Qin's Reception Room tonight. The other actors also finished filming Happy Sunday yesterday. Do you think there are any omissions?"
Li Ran narrowed his eyes and said softly, "What's the situation with Legend of Yue Fei?"
Lin Sen said, "Everyone's strategy is similar, but they can't compete with us in the TV station. So on the Internet, we hired a lot of ghostwriters to advertise them on major forums. The effect is not bad. But … "
"Hmm?" Li Ran frowned and said, "But what? Hurry up and say it. "
Lin Sen told her about what happened with iPartment the night before and said, "These days, all the major forums have been talking about Legend of Yue Fei, but after the commotion, all the topics have turned to iPartment. Xiao Yun Hai can be considered to have helped us indirectly. "
"Help? Li Ran stood up and reprimanded, "Who is Xiao Yunhai? He was a publicly acknowledged genius in the entertainment industry. The 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' he starred in broke the viewership rating of 36%. Just based on this point alone, we can't let our guard down. "
"Sigh, the thing that I, Li Ran, regret the most is that I didn't get rid of him in time when I failed to recruit him. Now, he has become a top superstar in Hua Xia. It's no longer that easy to deal with him. "
Lin Sen said, "Director Li, there's no need to blame yourself too much. Who would have thought that this kid would achieve such accomplishments in a short span of a year? What do you think we should do now? "
Li Ran gave it some thought and said, "Since iPartment is so famous, why don't we use it to hype it up? Tell Wang Jianjun to belittle iPartment in tonight's show and use its fame to promote our Spring Autumn Competition. "
Lin Sen gave it some thought and said, "It's just that I heard that Xiao Yunhai and Lee Hoon are very close. I'm afraid that he'll cause trouble when the time comes."
Li Ran smiled and said, "It'll be even better if they have an argument on stage. No matter what, our Spring Autumn Competition will be the winner. "
Lin Sen patted his forehead and said, "Director Li is still the wisest."
Li Ran smiled proudly and said, "Give a call to those media outlets and film critics who have a good relationship with us. Tell them to belittle Xiao Yunhai. I want his' iPartment 'to be a stink before it even airs. "
Lin Sen nodded and said, "Understood."
.....
At that moment, Xiao Yunhai, who was editing iPartment, received a call from his father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng.
"Yunhai, you're amazing, kid. Isn't it a little too exaggerated to finish a film in 18 days? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Uncle, this speed is already considered slow. If it weren't for the fact that we're all newbies, I would've finished filming in less than two weeks. "
"You can't just focus on speed and ignore quality. You should know that it's not easy for you to establish Yun Huang's golden brand in the entertainment industry. Don't lose the watermelon for the sesame. "
"Uncle, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Oh right, I heard that your 'Legend of Yue Fei' is going to be broadcast on Jiangsu TV Station. Is that right? "
"That's right. It's currently competing with Dongfang Entertainment's' Spring Autumn Competition '. They're broadcasting three days earlier than us. They have a huge advantage. Back then, your 'Empresses in the Palace' aired a few days earlier than 'Chu He Han Boundary'. You immediately secured the victory and didn't give 'Chu He Han Boundary' any chance. I hope that 'Spring Autumn Competition' won't be the same as your 'Empresses in the Palace'. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble. "
"'Spring Autumn Competition' shouldn't be that good. Aiya, if that's the case, doesn't that mean that my 'iPartment' will also be competing with 'Legend of Yue Fei'? "
"I'm calling to discuss this with you. Can you delay the broadcast of 'Legend of Yue Fei' until after it's over? It's a fight between our own people. It's a loss no matter who wins. "
"I understand, uncle. Actually, this show doesn't have to be broadcast on TV. It can also be uploaded directly to video websites, right? "
"What? Going directly to video websites? Wouldn't that be a huge loss? "
In the entertainment industry, most TV series would first be broadcast on TV. Once the TV station had squeezed all the value out of it, it would then be uploaded to video websites to earn download fees.
That way, the entertainment company's profits would be maximized.
Of course, there were exceptions. For example, those TV series that did not even qualify to be broadcast on TV would be uploaded directly to video websites.
However, they were all eliminated works after all. They were either unknown or of poor quality. Netizens did not buy into them. Therefore, there were very few that could stand out from the crowd.
After careful calculation, ever since the rise of video websites, there had never been anyone like Xiao Yunhai who wanted to directly broadcast a TV series with a strong influence on the website. It was no wonder that Zhao Mingsheng was surprised.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai had been thinking about this problem over and over again for the past few days. The TV battle between 'Spring Autumn Competition' and 'Legend of Yue Fei' made him make up his mind.
After all, his' iPartment 'only had a short 20 episodes. Even if it could beat' Spring Autumn Competition 'and' Legend of Yue Fei 'and achieve a viewership rating of more than 10%, the profits would not be huge.
It was better to directly upload it to the website and earn online advertising and TV series download fees. Who knows, he might be able to achieve unexpected results.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Uncle, I only invested about 10 million in this TV series. It won't be a loss. The main problem is how much I can earn. Moreover, if I don't avoid the TV battle, it won't be good if I beat all of you. It's fine with Dongfang Entertainment Company, but it won't look good on your side. "
Zhao Mingsheng laughed heartily and said, "Your TV series with a ten million investment is actually delusional enough to think that it can defeat two TV series with a five hundred million investment. Yunhai, aren't you being too naive?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. My 'Charlotte's Troubles' invested more than 20 million, and the final box office result was 1.58 billion. Tell me, how many big-budget movies did I beat? "
Zhao Mingsheng smiled and said, "That's true. A big-budget production doesn't mean that the audience will buy it, and a small production doesn't mean that the viewership ratings will be low. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a dark horse. "
"Uncle, it's still too early for us to talk about this. When the time comes, I'll see how it goes. If your shows are really that good and have the support of the audience, then I won't be so stupid to go head-to-head with you. "
"Alright, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
After ending the call with Zhao Mingsheng, Xiao Yunhai continued to receive calls from many of his friends in the circle. Both openly and secretly, they were basically advising him not to make a mistake. Xiao Yunhai was very grateful for their concern and patiently answered them one by one.
