Chapter 384
Too many, really too many. Even though they had anticipated that so many people in the industry would help promote Ji Shao at this time, the momentum was completely beyond the imagination of Huayao's internal publicity department.
The current publicity campaign has seen the entire entertainment industry rally to support Ji Shao. This includes, of course, the cast of the companion film, "The General," which has been consistently promoted alongside the film. Li Angben, with whom Ji Shao has a close relationship, even posted a special blog post in support of him.
The industry seniors and juniors, directors, etc. that Ji Shao met on variety shows, music collaborations and large-scale events, plus the support of his teammates, mentors and seniors from his original agency, have gathered together to form the star-studded forwarding area we see today.
On a certain blog, a Huayao staffer controlled Ji Shao's account, imitating his voice and replying to every post that helped promote the company. As for his personal account, assistant Chen Shenju was left to thank each of the agents one by one. Similarly, Ji Shao would reply to the artists who helped promote the company tonight.
Inside the film studio, somewhere on the set of "Interweaving," Chen Shenju sat on a small stool, barely finishing his reply to a message thanking him for the publicity.
Meanwhile, Ji Shao, who was trending on the hottest topics of the day, was now concentrating intently on the filming. Beside him, Director Jiang, also staring at the monitor with a stern expression, was watching the footage.
The attitudes of the director and lead actors are crucial factors influencing the on-set atmosphere. Rigorous, expeditious, and striving for perfection. Following the implementation of these pre-shooting mottos, the internal atmosphere of the "Interweaving" crew is arguably the best in the film and television complex today.
Chen Shenju retracted his gaze, subconsciously moving his neck, which had become stiff from holding the same position for so long. However, his hands didn't slow down at all, and he quickly clicked on the message Zhou Xiao had sent earlier.
"Zhou Xiao: [Summary of Large Screens in Huaguo City.PDF]"
Because it was a document, Zhou Xiao didn't send any more messages. Sensing it wasn't particularly urgent, Chen Shenju rushed to reply. When he finally found the time to open the document and saw the notes behind each large screen, he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
The 684 large screens correspond to the 684 cities in China and are divided into three tables:
Ji Shao National Fan Club, Brand Sponsors and Heartbeat
The largest number of large screens were unlocked by all fans working together to support the fans. And the largest average size per large screen was the support Zhou Xiao contributed in this joint support.
The large screens listed in the document were carefully selected from the best. Chen Shenju recognized some of the landmark buildings, so he was also impressed by the generous investment. Just as he was thinking about forwarding it to Mr. Lin and Ms. Mao, half a face suddenly appeared on his phone screen.
Although half of his face was reflected on the screen, it didn't affect the youth's vigor and vitality in the slightest. Chen Shenju raised his head, smoothly handed the phone to Ji Shao, and asked, "It's over so early today?"
Ji Shao took the phone, his eyes still fixed on the screen, but this clearly had no effect on his response to Chen Shenju. "Director Jiang said the media will be arriving soon, so after filming this scene, we'll have everyone clean up."
Ji Shao was staring at the screen very seriously. Seeing this, Chen Shenju, who had transformed into a "nanny dad," touched his slightly damp hair. Just as he was about to ask Ji Shao to go back to the RV for a quick shower, he heard Ji Shao's clear voice above him, "Brother Chen, is Teacher Zhou's photography studio going to open in the next few days?"
"Yeah, it's finally open," Chen Shenju sighed again. He was happy for Zhou Xiao, but also relieved for his own future peace of mind. Who could have understood that every time Zhou Xiao's blockbuster film sparked heated discussion, he was also bombarded. Sometimes he began to doubt himself as Zhou Xiao's customer service representative rather than an artist assistant.
If Zhang Hongyu could hear Chen Shenju's inner voice, he would definitely hold the other person's hand tightly and not let go. Finally, someone could understand his suffering! Those who came to him and wanted to use their relationship to find Zhou Xiao often had to carefully consider the words they used to reject him.
Of course, there's a difference. Zhang Hongyu can occasionally act as an intermediary and earn a commission. As for Chen Shenju, he can only reject everything. How can you find a photographer and then find the artist? This... this is simply turning the tables!
Just as Chen Shenju was still sighing, his phone appeared before his eyes. He raised his head and was about to reach out to take it when he suddenly felt the good mood emanating from Ji Shao.
The afternoon sun shone on Ji Shao's face. His eyebrows were relaxed and smiling, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth deepened. "Then I'll trouble Brother Chen to help me record a video to congratulate Teacher Zhou on his grand opening!"
…
For star-chasers, today's blogs and forums were particularly lively. Besides marketing accounts reposting lists of artists who support Ji Shao compiled by forum users, it was also a carnival for lucky draw enthusiasts.
Every marketing account that retweets the lucky draw will receive 100 Blueberry Video monthly passes sponsored by Ji Shao fans. Netizens who retweet enough of the post will have a greater chance of winning a monthly pass.
Because Ji Shao fans have limited each person to redeem the prize only once this time, because of this rule, many people contributed their small accounts that they usually use to collect data to the lottery.
What's more, some of the less popular fans of Xiaohua's family directly reposted it using their big accounts. In fact, in addition to the membership cards for the lucky draw, for these fans, they have strengthened their vision this time!
Of the three trailers released that day, Ji Shao's performance was featured in nearly every one. Sponsors may have favored the promotion of "The Unparalleled General" by focusing on Ji Shao. But for director Zheng Cheng, the actors are unconditionally committed to the show.
The advantage of partnering with a seasoned veteran like Huang Xiang is that Ji Shao and the others can focus on promotion. The intersection of their paths means that far from being competitors, they will become highly compatible partners.
The undisputed script and Huang Xiang's strong ability to carry the show, coupled with Ji Shao's top-tier popularity, brought considerable attention and additional investment to the show during the filming of "The Unparalleled General".
In addition, as the second male lead, Ji Shao has greatly won the hearts of the popular artists this time. When the onlookers wanted to lower the threshold for him, Ji Shao surprised everyone in the previews of the first few episodes.
Yan Zhenjing is a face-obsessed person who loves all pretty children. While the trailer for "The Unparalleled General" was flooding the homepage, she was using both her large and small accounts to share and enter a lucky draw. Being extremely frugal with her spending on this video platform, she simply couldn't bring herself to buy a monthly membership for 25 yuan.
After forwarding the blog posts about the lucky draw at Ji Shao Square one by one, Yan Zhenjing was about to refresh it one last time and then return to her main account when she suddenly found a new blog post about giving away video memberships at the square!
The owner of the account is a photographer she has been following on both her big and small accounts! This method of claiming rewards purely based on hand speed, not luck! It’s a blessing for those with bad luck!
——A certain blog——
@周笑V: Giving away 1,000 Blueberry Video monthly passes on behalf of General Xie, and inviting everyone to watch "The Unparalleled General" which will be aired on May 18th at 6:00 PM.
PS: CCTV premieres at 19:30 on May 17th

Teacher Zhou Xiao is so generous! I received your monthly membership card! I will definitely support Ji Shao!
When will you film someone else? I want to see you film my favorite artists. I hope to see you two collaborate one day. [Tears]
Why didn't Director Zheng invite you to take stills?! Scream! The trailer for "The Unparalleled General" is really great, but the stills are a little lacking...
Although I knew Sister Zhou was fascinated, I was actually a bit dazed when I first saw it. Your family really does eat delicious taro shreds [jealousy makes one lose all recognition.jpg]
[I just saw it and it's gone. Who has such fast fingers?! ]
【……】
“Yes!”
Yan Zhenjing, who had successfully received her 992nd monthly video card, couldn't help but clench her fist and wave it vigorously in the air. Who could understand? This was simply a stroke of luck, allowing her to step on the last inch of the lottery.
Of course, after receiving the monthly card, she naturally had to thank her most beloved teacher, Teacher Zhou. Yan Zhenjing quickly switched apps and was about to type a thank you, but her fingertips accidentally clicked on the link sent by fans in the comment section.
The order in which the actors appear in the trailer for "The Unparalleled General" is arranged according to the development of the story. Yan Zhenjing knew that Ji Shao was in the film, but she had never seen what he looked like.
While the video on Weibo plays automatically, those busy with the lottery won't be able to see the fifth second of the trailer. And even that's an overestimate, as most videos don't last past the first two seconds. Meanwhile, the most visually appealing part of the video is relegated to the back.
The link Yan Zhenjing clicked on was a clean version of Ji Shao's fan edit. It was so clean that someone, who had originally been frowning and about to leave, watched the one-and-a-half-minute video over and over again.
Looking at the densely packed comments at the beginning of the video again, Yan Zhenjing finally understood why they were all saying "Welcome back." Damn it, why is Ji Shao only airing his first drama now?
Then, she searched for the full trailer for "The Unparalleled General." The editing, filters, and actors immersing themselves in their roles in the trailer gave Yan Zhenjing a strong feeling that this drama would be a hit!
…
After watching the blog post successfully upload, Zhou Xiao exited the app and put her phone back in her pocket. She added the video membership to her photography account, partly because that account has more followers than anyone else, and partly as a small bonus for fans of that account.
Feeling the smooth driving of the taxi, Zhou Xiao subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. His parents in the back seat were leaning against each other and resting with their eyes closed.
After signaling the driver to turn down the music, Zhou Xiao turned his head to look out the window. Outside, the city's green belt was rapidly receding. When the car began to enter a lane where the sky was obscured by the leaves of the sycamore trees, it meant the end of the journey was near.
This quiet and artistic street in Shanghai is about to become lively.
