Zhao Liang was a little skeptical. It had only been two hours, and there hadn't been any big publicity online. To create a buzz online in such a short time was no easy feat.
He reached into his pocket, intending to take out his phone to see if there were any online discussions about the matter.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yang stopped him, saying, "Let Minister Chen project the computer onto the screen so we can all take a look."
Chen Chen reluctantly glanced at the screen. Tech people love watching data grow, finding a sense of satisfaction akin to watching a child grow up. But now, not only Fang Yang and Zhao Liang, but everyone else was showing a look of longing, which piqued Chen Chen's curiosity to take a look as well.
With lightning speed, Chen Chen quickly typed keywords such as "Yuewen Cinema" and "WeChat Official Account" into the computer. The computer automatically searched for the information, and as Chen Chen pressed enter, the screen displayed a page full of related information. This made Chen Chen a little happy. "Wow, the popularity is quite high."
Clicking on the first post, there were already over a thousand comments, all discussing Yuewen Cinema's establishment of an official WeChat account. Everyone is familiar with WeChat accounts, but this is the first time a movie theater has set up one, so everyone is talking about the purpose of Yuewen Cinema's official WeChat account.
Even with a wealth of online talent, it was impossible to guess the purpose of Yuewen Cinema's official WeChat account in a short time. Those who did guess were almost instantly covered up by the next post, without making a ripple.
Seeing the popularity steadily increasing, Zhong Zhifeng laughed and said, "If we can make it to the front page, the clicks and followers will skyrocket!"
Chen Chen glanced at the trending topic and said, "It's still a long way off. But it's almost lunchtime, so the trending topic might surge again. If it really makes it into the top 30 trending topics, it will have to be at least until tonight. There are still too few people online right now."
Fu Ming was still focused on the movie. "Let's see if anyone's discussing our movie yet. It's been a few hours, it should have some effect by now, right?"
Chen Chen exited the comments section. There was no need to input trending keywords. The fifth item below was a discussion about the movie. "It seems this system is pretty good. It even knows that our public account has some relevance to the movie, and it puts it directly on the same page below, saving us the trouble of searching."
Not only Chen Chen, but everyone was surprised. If it were placed on a separate page, and someone searched for news on the Yuewen Movies WeChat official account, they would inevitably take a look at the relevant information about the movie "Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth". It can be said that it was an unexpected success.
"Director Fu, see? We don't even need to search for it; the movie has already become popular through WeChat official accounts."
Fu Ming stared nervously at the screen. "Hurry up and open it to see. I just don't know what the reviews will be like. If this makes it to the trending topics, I wonder how much advertising revenue it will generate."
Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director Fu, why are you in such a hurry? The promotion fee has already been spent. Whether he comes or not, the money can't be recovered. You might as well wait patiently and trust that the professionals under Minister Zhong and Manager Zhao will be able to spend the money wisely. You can just sit here and see the results."
Zhong Zhifeng also advised, "Director Fu, don't be impatient. It's only been two hours since the arrangements were made, and the current effect is already very good. Let's relax and have a couple of drinks at noon, see how it goes, and then we'll go to the cafeteria to reserve a private room. It's cold, so it's perfect to have some hot pot and a little wine. Isn't that better than staying here in fear?"
Zhao Liang laughed and said, "Oh my, Minister Zhong is quite the smooth talker; he speaks better than he sings. He can describe delicious food in such a refined and elegant way. If I weren't included, I definitely wouldn't agree."
Chen Chen opened the comment section for "Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth" and said, "Hurry up and read it. You guys have all started talking about alcohol. After you finish reading, go over there as soon as possible."
Fang Yang glanced at Chen Chen and Zhao Liang. These two had gotten together and all they cared about was food. It was a pity that Zhao Liang had a poor alcohol tolerance but a strong addiction to alcohol. He was just like the saying goes, "He's bad at drinking but loves to have fun."
"Drinking is fine, but you can't get drunk, especially Liangzi. If you get drunk, it will take three or four people to carry you home. I don't want to carry you home."
Fang Yang first gave Zhao Liang a heads-up, reminding him that Zhao Liang had caused himself a lot of trouble when he got drunk last time, and Fang Yang didn't want to experience that again.
Chen Chen patted his chest, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let him get drunk. He has to go to work this afternoon. It's just that eating hot pot without alcohol is especially boring, so it's just to satisfy his thirst."
Fang Yang turned back to the screen. The topic already had over 5,000 views. Although it wasn't much, it was still much better than before when there was nothing at all. Since no one had seen the movie, the discussion revolved around the movie title. Everyone was familiar with ghost movies, but there was also a description of a comedy movie, which made everyone a little confused. They had never heard of this genre before.
Fang Yang glanced at Chen Chen and said, "Our short video website isn't very popular yet, is it? There are very few people discussing short videos on it!"
Chen Chen scratched his head. "The popularity is not bad. I checked this morning and there were still over 100,000 comments. It's probably because people on the website are used to commenting on their own site. There are very few people commenting on other websites, so the overall popularity hasn't come up yet."
Fang Yang glanced at Zhong Zhifeng, and had some objections to Zhong Zhifeng's promotion of the short video. Although the focus was on Zheng Xiuli and Fu Ming's movie during this period, the focus of the short video was to promote the movie. If the video's popularity did not rise, how could the movie's popularity be promoted? Did they really have to rely on the netizens of Yuewen Entertainment Media website to entertain themselves?
Zhong Zhifeng hadn't felt anything at first, but then Fang Yang glanced at him, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. Oh no, he'd been so busy lately that he'd forgotten to promote the short video website to the entire internet.
"Mr. Fang, it was my oversight. I will promote the short video website to the entire internet as soon as possible, and I will make sure that everyone knows about it within a few days."
"Remember your words. Without the promotion of short video websites, how would people know what's so special about this movie? Even the best wine needs a good location. Our promotion is a series of interconnected steps. You've broken this crucial link, no wonder the buzz on the website isn't going up. People don't even know the content of your movie, how can they discuss it?"
"It's all my fault. I focused on this this afternoon and had people release the short video along with the movie. I believe that after people watch the short video, the popularity will rise quickly."
Fang Yang nodded and didn't pursue the matter further. Zhong Zhifeng had indeed been quite busy lately, with several things piling up at once. If Chen Chen hadn't let it slip, no one would have noticed. After all, short video websites do have some popularity on the surface, although they can't compare to other short video websites. However, due to time constraints, it's possible that they aren't as popular as other websites.
