After hanging up with their business partner, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran quickly went into emergency preparedness mode. They knew that time was running out, and every minute and second was incredibly precious.
"Let's review the market data we collected earlier and find the most similar successful cases to the new drama." Ling Yichen said as he quickly opened his computer and searched for relevant information in the densely packed files.
Jun Mo Ran was not to be outdone. She immediately contacted the production team's market research staff, her tone urgent yet clear: "We need detailed case studies of similar themes that have been successfully released in overseas markets, including distribution strategies, audience feedback, market response, and final revenue data. The sooner the better, our partners are waiting."
The researcher responded with a tense yet firm voice on the other end of the phone: "Okay, we'll organize it right away and try to send it to you as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, the investigation team was also racing against time. They sat around the computer, their eyes glued to the encrypted email on the screen, trying to crack its secrets. Xiao Li, in charge of the technical decryption, had beads of sweat on his forehead as his fingers flew across the keyboard, lines of code flashing rapidly across the screen.
"This encryption technology is really complicated, but I've found some breakthroughs. Give me a little more time, and I'll definitely be able to crack it." Xiao Li gritted his teeth, his expression focused, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the email in front of him.
Near the tech company, investigator Xiao Wang continued his search for clues. Disguised as a deliveryman, he loitered around the company entrance, observing people coming and going. Suddenly, he noticed a flustered man hurrying towards the parking lot with a file folder in his arms. Xiao Wang's intuition told him this man might be connected to their investigation.
Xiao Wang quickly followed, and just as the man was about to get into the car, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, are you an employee of [Technology Company Name]? There's a package for you."
The man paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wang warily: "I didn't buy anything, you must have delivered the wrong thing."
Xiao Wang pretended to look at the delivery slip with suspicion: "Yes, the recipient is you. Why don't you take another look?" As he spoke, he deliberately handed the delivery slip to the man, trying to distract him.
Just as the man looked down at the delivery slip, Xiao Wang caught a glimpse of a document peeking out of the file folder, which appeared to have the name of a new drama on it. His heart skipped a beat, knowing he might have stumbled upon a crucial clue.
"Sorry, I might have made a mistake." Xiao Wang took back the delivery slip and turned to leave.
The man suddenly called out to him, "Who are you? Why are you loitering around here?"
Xiao Wang was startled, but he quickly calmed down: "I'm just a deliveryman. I had a lot of orders in this area today, so I might have been a little confused. Please don't mind."
The man gave him a suspicious look, said nothing more, and hurriedly got into his car and drove away. Xiao Wang watched the direction the man had gone, silently noting the license plate number. He knew this clue was crucial and he had to inform the team as soon as possible.
On Ling Yichen and Jun Moran's side, the market research team finally sent over the compiled case study data. Without even taking a break, they immediately began analyzing and comparing the cases. They carefully studied the success factors of each case, combined with the characteristics of the new drama, and wrote detailed analysis reports.
"Look at this case. They combined social media with offline events in their promotion and achieved excellent results. We can learn from this approach to highlight the cultural characteristics of our new drama," Ling Yichen said to Jun Moran, pointing to the information on the screen.
Jun Mo Ran nodded in agreement: "That's right, and they also customized personalized promotional plans for audiences in different regions, which is something we can learn from."
Just as they were racing against time to prepare the materials, good news came from the investigation team. Xiao Li had finally cracked the encrypted email. The email content was indeed related to the plan to smear the new drama. It detailed the cooperation between the technology company and its competitors, including how to send anonymous text messages and create negative public opinion.
"Great! We've finally found irrefutable evidence!" Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were so excited upon hearing the news that they almost jumped for joy.
However, before they could even celebrate for long, new problems arose one after another. The business partner suddenly called, requesting that they submit the necessary documents half an hour in advance, as their company's senior management had an urgent meeting and needed to finalize the collaboration on the new drama before the meeting.
"How could this happen? The time has been shortened again, and we're not fully prepared yet," Jun Mo Ran said anxiously.
Ling Yichen took a deep breath: "Don't panic, let's speed things up. Let's organize the most important parts first, highlighting the advantages of the new drama and the lessons learned from successful cases."
So they threw themselves back into their intense work, racing against time to perfect the data.
