Yuewen Entertainment Media website generated huge traffic, and Shanghai TV station naturally wouldn't lag behind. When Ouyang Ming came out of the municipal government, he received a call from Minister Zhang, who told him that "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was a hit even before it aired. Ouyang Ming was overjoyed. He had just received the good news of being transferred to the top position of the Xihu Municipal Party Committee, and now, before he had even left, he received another piece of great good news. It was a double celebration!

Ouyang Ming rushed back to the TV station. Since Fang Yang had already launched a major attack, the TV station would definitely have to cooperate and make a big move. Who would complain about accumulating political capital before leaving?

Instructing his secretary to convene a meeting in the conference room with several deputy directors and relevant ministers, Ouyang Ming took out his phone and asked, "President Fang, are you busy?"

"Director Ouyang, I'm recording a song right now, do you have any instructions?"

"Ah, it's like this. Your website is promoting 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty,' which is currently very popular. So our TV station is planning to take this opportunity to hold an advertising sales conference. Therefore, we would like to coordinate with you beforehand to set a reasonable advertising price."

"Ah, is that so? Okay, when would be a good time for both sides to sit down and discuss this?"

"I need to hold a meeting to coordinate things first. So, how about we grab dinner together tonight? There's no one else around, and I'd like to discuss something with you?"

"Okay, no problem. I'll book a private room right away and send it to your phone later."

"No, no, I've already made a reservation. It's with Lao Duan. You can just go there after you get off work."

"I can't let you always treat me. Since we've already decided on the place for dinner, let me pay the bill!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't need to worry about this. Just come and eat. That's settled then. I'm in a meeting now, so I can't talk to you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. If he could take Fang Yang's relocation project with him when he took office after the New Year, he would at least be able to secure his position in the short term and move up to a higher level after his term. That would be very safe. His only fear was that if he acted too late, someone else would reap the rewards, and he would have no one to blame but himself.

Looking at the time, Ouyang Ming figured everyone had already gathered in the conference room. Relieved of his worries, he walked into the room with a light step, sat down in his chair, glanced around, and seeing everyone was there, smiled and said, "You've all heard, right? Since Yuewen Entertainment Media issued its announcement, it has achieved excellent results in the industry. So we should ride this wave and maximize our profits. Advertising and sales must be put on the agenda immediately. Also, we need to cooperate with Yuewen Entertainment Media's website to spread the news of the upcoming drama to every household. Everyone, share your thoughts and let's see what's best to do!"

Minister Zhang, who is directly in charge, spoke first: "On the Internet, Yuewen Entertainment Media website has already done its best, so there is no need for us to get involved. Therefore, our focus should be on television advertising and newspaper media, which are also our strengths, and we can make the influence of this TV series reach every corner."

Deputy Director Zhou nodded, "That's true. We can learn from Yuewen Entertainment Media website and send someone to import the ending theme song of this TV series from them as an advertising model. The effect will definitely be very good."

After returning home last time, Wang Zedong, who had spent the whole night studying online, said, "I have an idea for you all to consider. I don't know if you all know, but when Fang Yang first debuted, he became famous online with just half a song. Let's take a similar approach this time and only play half of the ending theme song to whet the audience's appetite. The effect might be twice as good with half the effort."

Deputy Director Chen also said, "That's a good idea. We can also broadcast it on all channels of the station around the clock, so that no matter what kind of audience we have, they can get the news as soon as possible and maximize the advertising effect."

Ouyang Ming had a bit of a headache. Was broadcasting all day and on all channels a bit too much? But considering the advertising revenue later, this investment was still worthwhile.

After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Ming asked, "What's happening with those two tabloid reporters who slandered us last time?"

Minister Zhang laughed loudly: "Last time we let them escape a disaster, but this time, after Fang Yang's announcement came out, they were attacked by angry netizens. Those two tabloid websites were hit to pieces. Later, the announcement that those two reporters were fired was the only time the netizens let them go. This time, they really tried to steal a chicken but ended up getting themselves into trouble."

The crowd burst into laughter. They had been disgusted by the two tabloid reporters last time, and although they had received some compensation, they still felt a bit resentful. This was truly gratifying; the wicked need the wicked to teach them a lesson.

Ouyang Ming suppressed a laugh. "If everyone agrees, let's proceed according to the three deputy directors' plan. We'll start recruiting businesses once the results are at their peak in a week. Our year-end bonuses will depend on this recruitment meeting. Everyone must take it seriously, cooperate with each other, and strive to ensure that the station's employees have a prosperous year."

Everyone burst into laughter. The station's profits had been increasing month by month for the past few months, which everyone had noticed. Ouyang Ming's contributions were immense. Now there were rumors that Ouyang Ming was going to be promoted. Several deputy station directors had their own agendas and were eager to perform well, hoping that they could be promoted at the crucial moment.

While some are happy, others are sad. Compared to the jubilant atmosphere at Shanghai TV, Hunan TV is shrouded in gloom. Director Liu Zhen sat in his office, looking at the overwhelming advertisements for "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" online, and felt a sense of suffocation. As the leading local TV station, Hunan TV had already completely lost the 6 o'clock slot, and now it was trying to grab the 8 o'clock slot.

Huang Jinrong stood nervously to one side. "Minister Huang, didn't you say you had already negotiated a TV series with Yuehai Media? Where is the TV series? Fang Yang has already advertised nationwide, and his brand is known throughout the country. Where is your TV series? Ah, there's still no news. Are you going to wait until they finish airing it before you make a decision? Huh?"

Huang Jinrong cursed inwardly, "That son of a bitch Li Li! Yuehai Media started filming a month earlier than Fang Yang, and the TV series isn't even finished yet. They used to say it was a big production with an investment of over 100 million yuan and a star-studded cast, but now, who knows where it's gathering dust!"

"Director, please listen to my excuse, no, please let me explain. Yuehai Media invested over 100 million yuan and has a cast of big-name movie stars. It is indeed a big production. But you know, the bigger the production, the more meticulous it needs to be to produce a masterpiece."

"I don't care if it's a big production or a small production. There's only a month and a half left until Chinese New Year. Do you think Yuehai Media is the only film and television company in the whole country? Look at the ads Yuewen Entertainment Media is running now. Who in the country doesn't know that their show will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Are you still waiting for some dubious guarantee? Can you afford to wait? By then, who will even know we have a TV series airing? Hmm, nobody will know what TV series it is. Will anyone watch it? Get out of here and go contact other film and television companies to see if they have any better TV series. If you can't handle this, then step aside and let other people you can find come and find it!"

Watching Huang Jinrong flee the office in a disheveled state, Liu Zhen felt a surge of anger. "Useless! He can't get anything done. It seems we need to replace him with a new minister soon. It's the end of the year, time for some people to change positions!"
