Chapter 711: Like a Tycoon
“Right now I’m watching this clip, and it feels like I’m watching a movie instead of a TV series.”
“What an amazing TV series!”
“What? It will be broadcast on the same day as Nine Heavens?”
“I guess I’ll be so busy that day, lol. I can watch two TV series at the same time.”
Wei Zhiqian bought the first top search spot of Broken Continent, but Tan Wenci did not give up. After all, there was no rule that one could only buy one top search. It was common for a person to buy several top searches at the same time. It happened every day.
Therefore, Broken continent could also have several top searches!
Since the high-ranking top search spots were not available, Tan Wenci decided to buy ordinary ones, and he would buy two!
Soon, Tan Wenci bought two top search spots for Broken Continent.
Before long, two more top searches about Broken Continent appeared on the top search rankings.
Seeing the top searches, all the people on the Internet were dumbfounded.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many hot searches for this series?”
“Because it’s good. That’s the only reason.”
“After I saw this clip, I decided to watch the whole series.”
“There should be a few more series like this!”
“You’re right. We don’t need famous actors. If they can focus more on the production of the content, they will produce more good actors. That should be the right thing to do.”
“This will definitely be the best TV series this year.”
“Time to go to sleep now.” Xu Mingzhen said to Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo, “There will be a negotiation in Kefeng Films tomorrow. You guys need to have a good rest.”
Of course, the negotiation tomorrow was not going to be an easy one. After all, Manager Wu didn’t like them.
Since the team of Nine Heavens agreed that Broken continent and Nine Heavens be broadcast online at the same time, the two teams became competitors.
According to what the crew members of Nine Heavens had done, it was clear that they would not be friendly.
Tomorrow’s gonna be a tough day.
Thinking about this, Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo both nodded and went back to their bedrooms.
Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo, and Tan Wenci had done something that only a tycoon would do, and because of that, the popularity of Broken Continent suddenly surpassed that of Nine Heavens.
Manager Wu had been triumphantly watching Broken Continent turn into a piece of junk under the popularity of Nine Heavens. He had already begun to wish that Broken Continent would be a failure on the day of its broadcast. However, who would have known that not long after he was happy, Broken Continent suddenly launched a wave of counter-attacks. And it had got three top searches on the list, which was more than Nine Heavens!
However, manager Wu quickly figured it out. It was because the Tan family was rich.
This made sense. In order to support his son, Tan Wenci was willing to buy top searches.
But it didn’t matter. This was just the beginning. As the manager of the production department of Kefeng Films, he knew well about the so-called “unspoken rules” of this industry. Hiring people to write fake comments and buying top search spots were very common. In his opinion, it was just a stupid trick. Moreover, when the series aired, Gao Qiongyu and Li Hanfei would become the most popular trending topics, and they would definitely buy top search spots for themselves, which was something that a C-list star, like Xu Miaotong, couldn’t do. By that time, Nine Heavens would be much more popular than Broken continent.
Manager Wu thought about contacting some authors of short videos and asking them to cut some clips to promote Nine Heavens, so that when the audience watched the short videos, they would frequently see its clips. This was not only a kind of promotion, but it could also create the illusion that the series was very popular, which would attract more people to watch it.
As for the money spent on this promotion, Manager Wu thought he could apply for some promotional budget.
Gao Qiongyu and Li Hanfei were also good at promoting TV series. Their own studios would also pay for the promotions.
In this way, Nine Heavens would be much more popular than Broken Continent. However, although Manager Wu thought so, he was still very angry at the moment.
After all, Broken Continent had stolen all the attention tonight! Moreover, it defeated Nine Heavens! How could he let them get away with this?
Manager Wu lay on the bed. Every time he thought of Broken Continent, he became even angrier. He was so angry that he couldn’t fall asleep. No matter what plan he had made earlier, he just couldn’t resist the anger when he remembered it.
Neither could the director of Nine Heavens fall asleep.
The situation had been so smooth tonight, but how did it suddenly change?
In the first place, Manager Wu had planned to prepare a mythology project and said that Kefeng Films had invested a lot of money in another similar project.
Hearing this, the director of Nine Heavens, Guo Qingchen, decided to seize this opportunity at once. He wanted to use this series to form a partnership with Kefeng Films, and it would be even better if he could become a long-term co-director with Kefeng Films in the future. In that case, he would have endless opportunities. Therefore, he worked very hard to build a good relationship with Manager Wu. These two people had different purposes, but they decided to cooperate. When Manager Wu discussed with him to set the release date of Nine Heavens the same day as Broken Continent, and even the broadcast cycle would be the same, he agreed.
Guo Qingchen was very confident. Who Was Tan Jinqi? He was just an obscure director who had not produced any works yet.
Besides Manager Wu, Guo Qingchen had known more information about Tan Jinqi from others. The reason why Tan Jinqi was able to be the director of Broken Continent was that he and Wei Zhiqian knew each other. What’s more, the Tan family was rich, so they also invested some money in this series. Without these particular reasons, it would not have been possible for Tan Jinqi to take charge of the Broken Continent project.
Guo Qingchen didn’t expect that Kefeng Films actually agreed to it. If the director of Broken Continent were a more famous guy, there would have been much more famous actors and actresses in the series.
Guo Qingchen wasn’t afraid of the Tan family. After all, he had also got a lot of supporters. He wanted to take this opportunity to beat Broken Continent. At the same time, he didn’t take it seriously. He thought Tan Jinqi was just a rich guy from a rich family, who thought that he could do anything with money, such as creating a series.
Therefore, Guo Qingchen felt that he would be the final winner. Tonight, he humiliated Broken Continent with an arrogant attitude, trying to publicize Nine Heavens. In the first place, he could only focus on the promotion. There was no need for him to humiliate Broken Continent. However, he thought triumphantly, “so what if I humiliate you? After all, Broken Continent is not popular at all! The only function of Broken Continent is to create a sharp contrast and make Nine Heavens more popular.”
Everything was going well tonight, and everything was going in the direction that Guo Qingchen had hoped.
Who would have known that Tan Jinqi would play such a “trick”?
Guo Qingchen was furious. He heard that Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi were going to negotiate with Kefeng Films tomorrow, and he was going as well. He wanted to see what else they could do!
Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi both had a good sleep that night.
Tan Mo had no class the next day. After having breakfast at home, she went to Kefeng Films with Tan Jinqi..
