Xiong Tang's original plan was to promote his current film, "Happy Summer Tour," which he spearheaded, as much as possible in order to generate more buzz.
But unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
Xiong Tang never expected that a minor artist who had been sidelined and left the industry could cause such a big stir.
The five songs released in succession became hits across the internet one after another, sparking heated discussions among countless netizens.
As a result, other people at Xia Lifei's headquarters have taken notice of this matter and have turned their attention to Xiong Tang.
Because if he hadn't taken it upon himself to freeze the career of this artist named Xu Lu, the other party wouldn't have left.
If the other party hadn't left Xia Lifeng, the company would now have a rising star in the music industry.
Therefore, it is clear that the person most responsible for this matter is Xiong Tang.
As a member of the company's board of directors, Xiong Tang will not suffer too much trouble because of this matter, but he will certainly encounter some minor troubles.
Therefore, he urgently needs to achieve something to mitigate the impact of this incident on him.
The most promising one right now is the movie 'Happy Summer Trip'.
"As long as this film is a box office hit, let alone just being a minor celebrity who was sidelined, even if... humph!"
Xiong Tang slammed his hand on the table with a smug look on his face.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and came in. It was Zhou Yu, the lead actor of "Happy Summer Trip".
Upon seeing him, Xiong Tang asked directly:
"Xiao Zhou, how's the roadshow going? How's the promotion for our film going?"
"Mr. Xiong, everything is going smoothly. Tonight is the premiere of our movie. We will invite many film critics to watch the film to build up our buzz."
Zhou Yu said with a radiant smile.
As a nobody artist in Xia Lifei's company, he unexpectedly caught the eye of Mr. Xiong and landed the lead role in a film.
This can be considered Zhou Yu's shining moment.
Of course, Zhou Yu believed that he would truly reach the pinnacle of his life after the film "Happy Summer Trip" was released and became a box office hit.
Moreover, that time is clearly not far off.
But just then, he suddenly remembered something and spoke up to report:
"By the way, Mr. Xiong, I also heard some news. It is said that the movie of that kid named Xu Lu will be released soon."
If they're unlucky enough to have their schedules clash with our 'Fun Summer Tour,' then things will get interesting."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Tang's spirits lifted, and he said:
"What's their release date? And what's ours?"
"Mr. Xiong, we plan to officially release the film on September 30th, four days after the premiere!"
During those few days, they'll have film critics promote us online, writing all sorts of advertorials.
Zhou Yu began to speak:
"However, since it seems that the other party's film is not planning to hold a premiere ceremony, the specific time is still unknown."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Tang suddenly spoke up:
"No, you should find out their exact release date first, and then we'll release ours on the same day!"
"Mr. Xiong, you mean..."
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, his expression one of shock.
Xiong Tang nodded, his face grim, and said:
"That's right! Since that kid Xu Lu has provoked us, we should teach him a lesson!"
Releasing our film on the same day as his is a way to severely damage his box office and attendance...
After the film is released, we'll find film critics to give it negative publicity and write bad reviews. Then…
Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly and said:
"Mr. Xiong, this move is brilliant! That kid Xu Lu probably won't even know how he lost so much money!"
...
"Mr. Xu, things are not looking good. I've heard something: the release date for 'Happy Summer Tour' has been changed!"
In the office, Feng Xiaoxia spoke with a serious expression.
Xu Lu was stunned for a moment, then said:
"What does their change have to do with us? What's wrong with this?"
"Mr. Xu, you don't know, but initially, this 'Happy Summer Tour' was planned to be released on September 30th."
Because they are holding the premiere ceremony tonight, they will invite industry people and film critics to watch the film and promote it.
But then they actually changed the date to September 28th, the same day as our release…
Feng Xiaoxia paused here, then continued:
"Mr. Xu, you've sensed what's going on here, haven't you? The reason they changed the release date is because they're targeting us!"
I could even guess what they would do next; they would definitely hire someone to write a bad review of our film…
"What, you have no confidence in our own film, 'Saturday Depression'?"
Hearing this, Xu Lu smiled and asked.
Feng Xiaoxia quickly shook his head and said:
"Mr. Xu, of course I have confidence in my film, but I can't stop others from sabotaging it behind my back."
"It's alright, it won't go too badly. I'm still full of confidence that our movie will gross a billion!"
Xu Lu said with a smile.
Feng Xiaoxia was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself:
"So much time has passed, I didn't expect Mr. Xu to still remember this. I thought he was just joking at the time."
But judging from his current expression, does he really believe that 'Charlotte's Depression' can gross a billion at the box office? That... is just too difficult, isn't it?
