“Now that the limelight has been stolen by Broken Continent, are we just going to sit back and watch?” Manager Wu said.
Guo Qingchen let out a sigh and said gloomily, “I didn’t know that Tan Jinqi would be able to find so many people.”
“To be honest, I can’t find a bigger lineup to promote Nine Heavens,” Guo Qingchen admitted reluctantly. “Everything else aside, Lu Xiangchen, Dong Yanzhen and Ji Qinghe are not someone I could ever reach. Not to mention the presidents of the Lasfilo and LMAH Group.”
“Or…” Guo Qingchen said, “Manager Wu, do you have any connections that can contact people of a higher level? Or, at the very least, someone about the same level as Dong Yanzhen and Ji Qinghe, maybe? I’m not even asking for people at Lu Xiangchen’s level, or big shots from the Lasfilo family and the LMAH Group. I can just settle for someone at Dong Yanzhen and Ji Qinghe’s level. Then it would make Nine Heavens look better.”
Manager Wu said nothing.
He really couldn’t get in touch with any of them.
“Director Guo, you’re making things difficult for me,” Wu said.
Guo Qingchen thought to himself, “Then why are you making things difficult for me? You can’t even do it yourself, but you’re asking me to do it?”
“Manager Wu, now that you’re here, I just happen to have something to discuss with you,” Guo Qingchen said. “It’s true that we are outdone by Broken Continent in terms of publicity. However, the actual result of the show still depends on the quality, whether the director has done a good job, and how the audience likes it. Before that, we have to attract enough audience.”
If the audience base was large enough, even if some people did not like it, there would always be someone who did like it.
Having 50 percent of the 1,000 people who liked it or 90 percent of the 100 people was two different stories.
Of course, they had to choose the former.
This was also the reason why they had worked so hard to promote the show before it was released. They had to attract more viewers first.
“Don’t worry.” Manager Wu knew what Guo Qingchen meant. “I’ll make sure Kefeng does a good job of promoting it. There will also be advertisements for Nine Heavens on the platform.”
“After all, I’m the producer of Nine Heavens. The performance of this show will also have a great impact on me,” Wu said. “As long as I can do the publicity, I’ll definitely arrange it for you.”
Guo Qingchen let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a little more relaxed.
“Oh, by the way, what about the publicity for Broken Continents on Kefeng?” Guo Qingchen asked again. “Will they do more publicity on the platform? How are they doing compared to ours?”
“There’s no way that Kefeng’s doing nothing to promote Broken Continents. After all, they’ve invested a lot in this show,” Wu said. “Moreover, no matter how much they have invested, as a show produced by Kefeng, it doesn’t make sense for Kefeng not to promote it at all.”
“But don’t worry. I’ll definitely use all the power I have to get as much promotion as possible for you. I can’t promise you exactly how much, but what I can assure you is that Nine Heavens is going to get more publicity than Broken Continent at Kefeng. I’ll try my best to leave the best promotion spots for you. And the rest will be given to Broken Continent.”
Guo Qingchen said, “If possible, just leave a few spots in the corner for Broken Continent, if you know what I mean.”
“I’ll try my best,” Wu said. “Don’t worry. I don’t want to see them outdo Nine Heavens. After all, as a producer, we have competition and assessment.”
After they reached an agreement, Guo Qingchen hung up the phone.
But for some reason, even after hearing Wu’s promise, Guo Qingchen was still worried.
He was really traumatized by Broken Continent’s way of promotion.
He was afraid that something unexpected would happen again.
Guo Qingchen did not have the time to go out to celebrate. There was nothing to celebrate now.
He kept his eyes on the trending topics.
Finally, the next day, the nine trending topics of Broken Continent were overtaken by the other topics and gradually disappeared from the list.
Guo Qingchen heaved a sigh of relief and went to the publicity team for some other ways to promote the show.
He couldn’t let Broken Continent shine in the limelight while Nine Heavens got forgotten by everyone.
However, shortly after that, the publicity staff on his team came in a flurry and told him, “Director, Broken Continent is on the trending list again!”
Guo Qingchen was dumbfounded.
He felt that he was about to get Broken Continent PTSD!
This was simply too much!
How could they get so much trending topics?
Though they could buy their way onto the list, they had to have a reason to go up on the top searches!
One couldn’t just do it casually for all sorts of trivial things. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous.
Guo Qingchen didn’t wait for the staff member to send him the screenshot. He entered Weibo and clicked on the trending search.
She found that the trending topic for Broken Continent was now in the tenth place, and it was still on the rise.
And the trending topic was “Broken Continent had nine trending topics in a day”.
“Great.” Guo Qingchen was so angry that he laughed. Who the hell came up with this idea?
After the nine trending topics yesterday, they figured out another way to stay in the trending list.
The netizens would be surprised when they saw today’s trending topic, and out of curiosity, they would go and find out what those nine trending topics were.
Then everyone would click on them to take a look.
The number of reviewers would increase, as well as the number of likes and comments.
Didn’t the popularity increase just like that?
Guo Qingchen was so angry that he went to find the staff responsible for publicity.
“Look at the publicity for Broken Continent! They are doing all kinds of things, and their trending topics are changing every day!” Guo Qingchen said angrily, “Look at you! You haven’t come up with a proper publicity plan until now!”
The publicity staff was speechless.
Seriously, he had tried his best. But Guo Qingchen could not find as many people, nor were they as famous as those with Broken Continent.
However, he was also curious about the publicity staff for Broken Continent. This series of seamless publicity was really nerve-racking!
“Go and find out about the publicity team for Broken continent,” Guo Qingchen said.
He could poach them if he had to.
When the publicity staff heard this, he realized the danger of losing his job.
“Well…” the publicity staff said awkwardly, “Director, even if we poach them now, I’m afraid it’s too late. There are only four days left before the show is out.”
Even if they poached the publicity team over, they wouldn’t have enough time to publicize it.
“You idiot, stop saying stupid stuff,” Guo Qingchen said impatiently.
Why were there so many idiots around him?
If there were a few smart people, they wouldn’t have been thoroughly defeated by Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo..
