Zhong Zhifeng laughed and said, "You didn't see Zheng Xiuli's expression last night when she heard that she had to sign something. She looked like she was dying, but she was completely powerless to resist."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "This is probably the pain of becoming famous. You know, if this wave goes smoothly, Zheng Xiuli can become a millionaire overnight. If you don't work hard now, do you want to wait until you can't work anymore before you start to regret it? I had an opportunity in front of me before, but I didn't seize it. Now the opportunity will never come again!"
Zhong Zhifeng laughed and said, "I didn't expect President Fang to be a philosopher. But I will definitely pass on this to Zheng Xiuli. I believe she will seize this opportunity and start her dream journey!"
Fang Yang believed that Zheng Xiuli would seize this opportunity. Zheng Xiuli was a hard-working person. When she first debuted, she was constantly running around for gigs, even after Fang Yang had deliberately limited her schedule. However, her belief in becoming famous kept her going out to run gigs. There was no reason for such a talented and hardworking person not to seize this opportunity.
During lunch, Fang Yang learned from Chen Chen that the album had sold another two million copies that morning, all of which were online orders. In just one and a half days, the total number of orders had exceeded six and a half million. Compared to Cang Mingyue's less than two million copies, Zheng Xiuli had completely crushed Cang Mingyue this time.
Fang Yang chuckled. This was just the beginning. He wondered if Yuehai Media would still consider acquiring Qingcheng Films after Cang Mingyue's reputation collapsed by the end of the month. After all, with even their mainstay gone, Qingcheng Films' value would plummet. In that case, Qingcheng Films would become a useless asset, neither worth keeping nor discarding, which would be a significant blow to Yuehai Media's plans to strengthen itself.
Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, a few people gathered in Fang Yang's office again. The weather was gloomy and cold, and having a pot of hot tea was a very pleasant thing.
"President Fang, Zheng really hit the jackpot this time." Zhong Zhifeng glanced at Zheng Xiuli with envy and a complicated look in his eyes. He never thought it was so easy to promote someone. Just one album was enough to propel a singer to the top.
Fang Yang glanced at Zheng Xiuli and saw that she was both nervous and shy. "What's wrong? I haven't had time to go see her either. Just tell me."
"President Fang, you don't know, but Xiao Zheng only took two days to go from last place to eighth place. This is the battle of the gods, the most important month of the year for the great gods to fight. Others only have one song to compete for the charts, but Xiao Zheng has an entire album and he managed to break into the top eight. This is of extraordinary significance."
Chen Chen nodded in agreement, “That’s right. If we only had one single like everyone else, we probably would have already topped the charts.”
"However, I believe that with the quality of this album, it's only a matter of time before it tops the charts." Zhong Zhifeng has great confidence in Zheng Xiuli, and if things continue as they are, he estimates that it will climb to the top again tomorrow.
Fang Yang looked at Zheng Xiuli and asked, "Do you want to be at the top of the list?"
"I want to!" Zheng Xiuli had an inexplicable confidence in Fang Yang. Whatever Fang Yang said, she would execute it without any discount. The key was that she dared not discount it. Having been with Yuewen Entertainment Media for a year, Zheng Xiuli naturally knew that every idea of Fang Yang was as precious as a diamond. It would be foolish not to listen to him.
"After dinner, you and Minister Zhong went to shoot a short video. The video showed two film albums stacked on the ground, each taller than a person. You were leaning over the table, signing the photos on the table while complaining: Minister Zhong is inhuman. Because of his own mistake of not producing enough film albums, he pushed the responsibility onto you and made you sign so many words. My hand is going to be ruined. When will this ever end? Then you stared at the ceiling, feeling like you were dying."
Seeing how quickly Fang Yang conceived the plot for the short video, everyone became very interested. Chen Chen said first, "If we add a camera pan to the side, showing Zhong Zhifeng holding a long whip and urging Zheng Xiuli to work, it would be even more artistic."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Isn't this the scene of a landlord's steward supervising the construction?"
Chen Chen glanced at Zhong Zhifeng's darkened face and said, "Don't you think this makes things more impressive?"
Zhong Zhifeng said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that this will arouse the sympathy of your fans, thus reducing their enthusiasm for placing orders?"
Chen Chen retorted, "What do you know? Recently, there have been trolls online saying that Zheng Xiuli's autograph session was a publicity stunt, a desperate attempt to sell the album and trick fans into placing orders. Why don't we do the opposite? Instead, we're doing this and shifting all the blame onto you, the person in charge of promotion. It's all your fault. If you don't take the blame, who will?"
Zhong Zhifeng was so angry he laughed. What kind of logic was that? However, when Fang Yang made the suggestion, there was indeed such a meaning behind it, but he didn't clearly express that he was the one who forced it. Chen Chen, on the other hand, made it specific and put the blame on himself.
Just as he was about to argue, Fang Yang interrupted him, "This idea is interesting. Minister Zhong is in the publicity business. Doesn't he know that fans have a kind of celebrity torture fetish? The more miserable the star is, the happier the audience is. You know, nowadays, stars only show their glamorous side, but if you show your tortured side, the audience will actually enjoy it. They might even go further and make you wish you were dead!"
This was the first time anyone had heard of this theory. Nowadays, when celebrities are in public, who doesn't present their glamorous side to the audience? Even if they don't get a lot of media coverage, at least it's all positive.
However, on the other hand, scandals involving celebrities' scandals are more likely to attract public attention. Many celebrity scandals have stayed at the top of the trending topics list for several days in a row, and the news has not cooled down for a long time, which shows that the public is more interested in this kind of news.
Yang Huajin finally spoke up, "I'm afraid it will backfire and other companies will take advantage of the situation and accuse us of abusing our artists. Once we're labeled like that, it will have a huge impact on the company's image."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "That's why it can only be released on our company's short video website. During this period of promoting Fu Ming's movie, the audience has become more accepting of the dramatic scenes in our filming. They know that our short video website likes to tease the artists. If we release Zheng Xiuli's video, people will know that it is Zheng Xiuli deliberately complaining. But they can also imagine that there are so many photos that need to be signed. It would be strange if she didn't complain a bit. Besides, Zheng Xiuli is not a well-behaved person. This can be considered a true performance."
Zheng Xiuli muttered a couple of times, "You're the one who's restless." But her words carried little weight, and no one took them to heart. Instead, they were worried about Fang Yang's plan. If it were misunderstood by outsiders, it would be a troublesome matter to explain.
"Alright, let's proceed with this plan. We'll know the results tonight, whether it's good or bad. I'm sorry to trouble Minister Zhong with this. Maybe we can increase album sales by a few million tomorrow," Fang Yang said, setting the tone. No matter how worried everyone was, they could only keep their concerns to themselves and wait and see the results that night.
