Chapter 81 Air Raid!
After everything is over and I return home, there is still a lot of cleaning and tidying up to do.
Guan Xianyi leaned against the door, head down, replying to messages on his phone. He asked Shu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, "What did you ask me just now?"
Shu Ming is opening his birthday present.
He went out to play all day and only had time in the evening to reply to birthday greetings from all parties and sort out his things.
Coincidentally, he just happened to open the package sent by Jiang Yingtian at this time: "I say, has Hongyu done anything recently?"
Guan Xianyi put down his phone: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Shu Ming paused and replied, "Ye Liqing sent me a message."
Actually, I didn’t post anything special, just a standard happy birthday.
But with this information as a reminder, Shu Ming vaguely remembered that Hongyu had snatched a movie from him on his birthday last year.
It's just that he was too busy and fulfilled this year and really forgot to pay attention to these things. Now that he remembered it today, he decided to ask about it.
Guan Xianyi had been paying close attention to this. She frowned and tried to recall this information from her mind: "It's nothing..."
She thought there was a bigger plan behind Hongyu, but in fact it was just a small marketing strategy.
Playing a routine to abuse fans and packaging idols as perfect victims——
Fans who followed "Choose 1" back then know that Shu Ming and Ye Liqing have always had a good relationship.
Ye Liqing was unwilling to snatch Shu Ming's resources, and forcing his friend to break up was definitely a dishonest act of a dog company!
What's more, the company, for its own selfish desires, had to hastily make an official announcement on Shu Ming's birthday... Ye Liqing's fans were almost enraged. They criticized Hongyu to death, and at the same time spent all their money to book a theater for Ye Liqing.
Finally, thanks to Hongyu's marketing trick, such a low-budget art film, although it still flopped without any outsiders entering the market, miraculously made some profit, which is indeed a good result in the current sluggish film market.
What a boring plot! What a cliché!
But fans just want to eat it, what can we do?
Guan Xianyi originally thought that Shu Ming would be somewhat unhappy about being used as a stepping stone by his former teammate, but the boy just signaled to Guan Xianyi that he had heard it and continued to unpack the package in his hand.
The main character wasn't anxious, but Chengzi, who was listening in, was furious and indignant: "Hongyu is really too shameless, repeatedly using Xiaoshu to hype himself up..."
You just want to suck Shu Ming's blood, right? Aren't you afraid of backlash by using the same trick over and over again?
She mumbled a lot, but before she finished complaining, Shu Ming stuffed two candies into her hand.
Orange's attention was easily diverted, so the topic took a turn and went completely off track: "Huh? Where's the sugar..."
Guan Xianyi saw it clearly from the side.
How could Shu Ming not care? It was obvious that this kid didn't want to listen anymore, so he found something to interrupt Chengzi's complaints.
But although she was angry, her facial expression didn't show any fluctuation. She was still happy when opening the gifts. It was obvious that she was not really in a good mood.
“…I just think it’s a bit boring.”
Shu Ming laughed in silence. He dusted himself off, stood up, and turned around to open the gift Liang Ruowen had given him.
A beautiful custom microphone.
The tiny sparkles shone a little under the lights, so beautiful that Guan Xianyi's heart skipped a second - Shu Ming used Liang Ruwen's microphone in both of his guest concerts, so this gift was considered to be well-placed and thoughtful.
Moreover, the starting price of six figures was already considered a stratospheric amount among this batch of gifts. However, Shu Ming no longer had the flattery he had felt in the past two years. After carefully putting it away, he unwrapped one of the gifts without batting an eyelid.
In fact, it was true. The year before last, Shu Ming was squeezed out by Hongyu and had to lose some golden beans for not making his debut; last year, an art film was snatched away and everyone had to hold a meeting late at night. It can be said that they were on high alert.
But now, Shu Ming has seen too much, and the resources in his hands are countless... He will only have a bigger and broader world to look at. What's the point of mentioning just a movie?
Guan Xianyi knew that he had long since disregarded such things, so he responded with the words "boring". In other words, these things were not even worthy of being used as after-dinner jokes.
Too.
Orange is tired of opening gifts. Besides the packages sent by people in the circle, big and small, with connections and no connections, there are also PR gift packages...
She leaned on the sofa and browsed her phone for a while to pretend to relax, but she watched two trending searches rush to the top of the list.
She saw it and read it out: "Yi Cheng's girlfriend appeared backstage at a promotional event, Xu Bingxin visited the maternity and children's hospital... suspected of being pregnant?"
ah?
Guan Xianyi was startled and immediately took two steps at a time and took a look at his phone. The entry had exploded!
**
Shu Ming's birthday is unusual every year.
It was a great show last year.
This year there are “double the good stuff”!
Because it was late at night, Guan Xianyi pushed Shu Ming back to rest.
After she returned and contacted all parties, she had to say in a serious tone in the conference room the next day that Yi Cheng's love affair might be true.
It is even very likely that they are not in a relationship, but a secret marriage!
Shu Ming was a little tired the day before, so he slept until a little after 10 o'clock. He casually put on a white T-shirt and was dragged to the company. At this time, he was looking down at the documents and didn't say a word.
Guan Xianyi tapped his fingers on the table - actually, being in love is not a big deal, but being in a secret marriage is a big bombshell.
The heroine Xu Bingxin, on the other hand, suffered an unprovoked disaster. She was probably a cannon fodder pulled out by the Yicheng team to take the blame.
The crew of "Return" has never been of one mind, and both the male and female protagonists are difficult to deal with.
Guan Xianyi was happy to see his opponent suffer a setback, but the problem was that this time the city gate was on fire and innocent people were affected!
This is also the reason why Guan Xianyi hurriedly called Shu Ming to the company in the morning.
"Zhang Su just called and said that 'Little Secret' will probably be aired earlier."
It was originally scheduled that "Little Secrets" would be broadcast in July and "Return" would be broadcast in August, both on the same online streaming platform.
In other words, Ant Factory bet on two campus dramas in one go during this year's summer season.
Nowadays, "Return" may fail at any time, so the sooner it is broadcast, the better, so as to avoid any unnecessary troubles and completely lose the investment...
Upgrading the file is urgent!
What about "Little Secrets"? If "Return" really does go wrong, will the subject matter of campus dramas be tightened?
Will this cause the reputation of "Little Secret" to decline?
Although it's a small drama that's not valued by the platform, at least we have to break even...
The platform was too lazy to think and simply decided to set the release date, so "Little Secret" was also moved up!
So it wasn't until the afternoon of the 26th that Shu Ming received the exact news - "Little Secret" would not only be broadcast in advance, but would also be broadcast that night!
Guan Xianyi was stunned.
This is not an airborne operation.
This is an air raid!
**
At 8 o'clock that evening, "Little Secret" was quietly released online. There was no formal door-to-door promotion, press conference, roadshow, or overwhelming marketing and publicity...
Even the fans don’t know!
The trailer was hilariously hastily released fifteen minutes after the show started. It wasn't until the two leading actors retweeted it on Weibo that everyone realized the new show had begun.
Just as they were envious of Shu Ming's speed, the crowd that overpowered Xiao Hua immediately started to laugh at him:
"I originally thought 'Secret' was a good opportunity... but my first time taking on a drama, it was suddenly dropped on a weekday... Luckily, I didn't take it."
"Even the melon owner has no news, this is a vacuum drop!"
Shu fans are confused, and Duan Miaozhu fans are even more confused——
When the fans of the victims on both sides looked at each other, they no longer had the energy or means to fight back.
Wait wait, forget about it, just watch the show first!!
Help, please increase the popularity of the drama first...
Director Zhang Su was in great pain.
The promotional video was edited at the last minute, and the data still needs to be monitored. He thought that he had met a great actor and a great crew this time, and he could completely turn things around.
It’s really a matter of time and fate!
If Heaven wanted to kill him, what could he do? Was there no chance of him turning his life around?
Fortunately, Ant Factory did not kill off the show completely and did not lock the V in the first episode. This is the only good news among the many bad news.
Zhang Su looked at the numbers on the screen and forced a smile.
The data is indeed climbing up gradually, but due to the temporary advancement of the schedule, there are no fixed screens or columns, and marketing efforts will take time, so don't count on the data from the first broadcast.
We can only hope that word-of-mouth will spread and drive the data upward.
Sure enough, after the first episode was broadcast, the data of the first episode fell on an awkward point -
You say the data is good, but it is far from great!
But you said its data is not good, it is not really at the bottom, and even after quietly climbing up, it can tie with several dramas that have done sufficient publicity...
It’s really hard to criticize or not criticize the dramas that were overshadowed by “Little Secret”.
Go ahead and curse me, if I can’t even beat the unexpected drama, it shows that I am really a wimp.
Let’s not curse. The other side’s result is really not harmful at all, but extremely insulting!
But for Shu Ming, this result is really not impressive. It is indeed not the last, but does it look good to be last?
Guan Xianyi felt a lump in his chest and couldn't even sit still, pacing back and forth in the room.
This is Shu Ming's first drama in which he plays the leading role. If it fails, the investors will immediately question Shu Ming's ability to carry the show.
It is conceivable that the road ahead will be very, very difficult!
Shu Ming was quite calm. He closed the notebook on his desk and smiled at Guan Xianyi: "Look at it from a positive perspective. At least I have time to prepare for the final exam."
Guan Xianyi really wanted to sigh!
All the civil and military officials in the court were stamping their feet in anxiety, but he, the central figure, was the only one who was neither hurried nor slow, perfectly demonstrating what it means that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuchs are!
Looking at the person leaving slowly, Guan Xianyi took less than two seconds to convince himself - it's actually not a big deal.
The road must be taken step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite. Only when the mentality is stable can the work be done steadily. Shu Ming is like this, which shows that he has good psychological quality...
She estimated that she wouldn't need to sleep tonight, so she took a deep breath resignedly and got up to go to work.
However, in a corner that no one cared about, some discussion posts about "Little Secrets" began to quietly appear in the forum.

【Topic】：I heard that S's "Little Secret" has been aired.
Main Post: Has anyone else gone to see it? Is it good? I see there's no cloud private screening, so I'm a little hesitant...
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I've been overhauling this story, reminding myself every day not to water it down and to speed up the pace. So, after much hesitation, I moved this plot forward...
Let’s drop in!
Also, please enjoy the copy I came up with at around 3:00 a.m. the day before yesterday.
This is a work for relaxation and is not a serious article to be published later. . . It will not affect the rest of the publication plan, please rest assured. . .
I told my friend that books that are too literary have to be prepared to flop. I’m ready for that. But this one is so popular.
An Unprecedented Summer
Chen Zhou vs. He Hanqing
The handsome bottom vs the mixed-race top
Body shape enthusiasts
**
The exotic summer seaside town not only has dazzlingly bright waves under the sun, but also sticky and humid temperatures.
Sweat soaked through the thin clothes and clung tightly to the skin, making it almost impossible to breathe and making people feel very upset.
In front of the door of the detached house, a tall boy carrying a suitcase held a cigarette between his fingers, turned his head and smiled at the strange lady next to him.
This person has a very handsome appearance that can please others, and he is probably well aware of this, so he can always act so accustomed to it and so naturally... He can easily gain the admiring gazes of the outside world and the shy blushes of others.
The firelight flickered across the side of his face, appearing so vivid against the darkening sky and dense greenery that it was hard to look away, yet at the same time inexplicably irritating.
He Hanqing strode forward and heard his own low, yet somewhat unconvincing, impatient voice: "Get out of the way."
"Didn't you say you couldn't open the door?"
In his broad palm was a key, a key soaked with sweat from his hands.
This old key that had been used for a long time seemed to be suddenly given life by something, and turned into a living fish, jumping around in his hand, and it was so slippery that he almost couldn't hold it.
Unlike his own embarrassment, Chen Zhou was no different from two years ago. In He Hanqing's peripheral vision, he just chuckled in surprise and gently made half a space for himself.
Still so gentlemanly and touching people's heartstrings——
"So it's you... We meet again."
The key inserted into the keyhole with great difficulty.
With a click, the lock opened.
With this crisp sound...summer has finally arrived in the small town.
Lightning protection:
It turns out that the bottom has only been the top.
The bottom is not the top, and the sex partners who didn't have sex after having the same account meet again.
