Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan stood by the office window, gazing at the bustling traffic outside, their hearts filled with unease, like a lone boat in a storm. The questioning from their overseas media partners was like a heavy hammer blow, exacerbating their already difficult situation, while the intensified efforts of their competitors made them feel even more deeply threatened.
"The most urgent task is to respond to our overseas media partners and stabilize our cooperation." Ling Yichen turned around, his eyes resolute, trying to grasp a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. He knew that without the support of these media outlets, the promotion of the new drama in the international market would be extremely difficult.
Jun Mo Ran nodded slightly, her tired face revealing determination: "Let's first sort out the highlights and advantages of the new drama, prepare detailed information, and show them the value of the new drama." After saying that, she immediately gathered the publicity team and market research personnel and threw themselves into the intense work of compiling the information.
The publicity team quickly compiled highlights from the new drama, professional film reviews, and feedback from domestic and international audiences, creating a visually appealing promotional material. Market researchers collected successful case studies of similar works in overseas markets, along with a market potential analysis report for the new drama, attempting to persuade overseas media partners with data and facts.
At the same time, Ling Yichen personally contacted overseas media partners and sincerely explained the new drama to them via video conference. He detailed the creative background, cultural connotations, and the process of overcoming numerous difficulties, emphasizing the unique charm and market prospects of the new drama.
“We understand your concerns. The negative online comments have indeed had some impact on the new drama.” Ling Yichen looked sincerely into the camera. “But please believe that these are malicious smears from our competitors. We have solid evidence and will soon expose their despicable acts. The quality and potential of the new drama itself are beyond doubt. We hope you can give us another chance.”
During the video conference, representatives from overseas partner media outlets displayed varying expressions; some hesitated, while others remained skeptical. One representative frowned and said, "We've always been very optimistic about this new drama, but the current public opinion environment forces us to be cautious. Could you perhaps give us a sneak peek at the evidence you've mentioned?"
Ling Yichen's heart tightened. He understood that revealing the evidence too early might disrupt the counterattack plan, but at this moment, in order to stabilize the cooperation, it seemed that there was no other choice. He exchanged a glance with Jun Mozhan, and after receiving an affirmative look, he said, "Of course, we will send you the evidence immediately after the meeting. But please keep it a secret for now, and speak out together when we officially reveal it."
After the video conference ended, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran immediately organized the evidence provided by Li Yang, selecting key information to send to their overseas media partners. They hoped this evidence would dispel the media's doubts and preserve their hard-won cooperation.
However, the matter did not end there. After learning that Ling Yichen had communicated with overseas media partners, competitors directly sent fabricated "evidence" to the media, attempting to confirm the "problems" with the new drama. This fabricated evidence seemed very realistic, plunging the overseas media partners into even greater confusion.
"How could they distort the truth like this!" Jun Mo Ran slammed his fist on the table in anger, his eyes filled with resentment.
Ling Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "We can't lose our composure. We need to contact the media immediately and explain to them that these are fakes, while also preparing more real evidence to refute them."
While they were fully engaged with overseas media partners, some internal turmoil arose within the production team. Some actors, suffering from prolonged personal attacks and harassment, were under immense mental stress and began to doubt the future of the new series; some even considered leaving the production.
"I really can't stand this pressure anymore. I'm being harassed every day, how can I concentrate on filming?" a young actor said emotionally.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran patiently calmed the actors down, promising to resolve the issue as soon as possible and ensure everyone's safety. They contacted a professional security team to strengthen the actors' protection, and also organized psychological experts to provide counseling to help them relieve stress.
Amidst this complex crisis, Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran also had to prepare a counterattack plan. They knew that only by thoroughly exposing their competitors' conspiracies could they truly turn the tide. The publicity team, based on their previously established plan, further refined the positive publicity campaign, preparing to showcase the new drama's appeal from all angles while simultaneously revealing evidence.
The legal team is also working diligently to prepare the lawsuit materials. Once the evidence is made public, they will immediately file a lawsuit against the competitor to make them pay for their actions.
However, just as everything was ready and the counterattack was about to begin, another unexpected piece of news arrived. An industry heavyweight with close ties to a competitor suddenly spoke out, publicly supporting the competitor's statements, accusing Ling Yichen's production team of numerous problems, and implying that the production of the new drama involved irregularities.
This industry veteran wields considerable influence, and his statement instantly sparked a new wave of public opinion. The already wavering attitude of overseas media partners became even more ambiguous, and the morale within the production team was severely damaged.
