Lin Chen's attire was very casual, consisting of only a white tank top, loose shorts, and slippers. Such an outfit seemed somewhat out of place in such a formal setting, yet Lin Chen exuded a carefree and relaxed air, as if he had just gotten out of bed and come straight here.
He smiled and joked, "To be honest, I'm quite surprised today. I didn't expect so many people to come. It seems everyone likes the school beauty. Me too!" As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
Then, Lin Chen changed the subject and continued, "But you definitely won't regret coming, because this will be a fantastic premiere and press conference. I guarantee you'll all be satisfied!"
He paused, then added, "I want to apologize to those outside who couldn't attend the meeting; we've already arranged the largest venue possible. However, to ensure everyone can participate in this grand event, we will be live-streaming it on over a dozen platforms, ensuring no one misses this spectacular premiere!"
After saying this, Lin Chen wore a proud and confident smile. He knew how much effort his team had put into this press conference, and he believed that their efforts would definitely pay off.
"Alright, I'm sure you all don't want to hear any more of my rambling." Lin Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Let's get down to business. I'm here to introduce our new TV series!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lead actors lined up and walked onto the stage.
Although most of these performers came from humble backgrounds, after careful training and polishing by the "Tokyo Not Hot" team, they all became glamorous and radiant. Especially the female trainees from "Tokyo Not Hot," who wore very little clothing, yet successfully captivated everyone's attention with their outstanding dance skills and alluring figures!
With the success of the press conference, Lin Chen's name quickly spread around the world. People praised his youth, talent, and outstanding abilities, calling him "the youngest CEO" and "the new generation leader of 'Tokyo Not Hot' Entertainment Company."
And the name "Tokyo Not Hot" has thus become more well-known and eye-catching.
Numerous media outlets have lavished high praise and commendation upon Lin Chen and the "Tokyo Isn't Hot" team. However, amidst the overwhelming positive feedback, some dissenting voices have also emerged.
But in this competitive and ever-changing society, these dissenting voices seem so insignificant that they cannot overshadow the dazzling brilliance emanating from Lin Chen and the "Tokyo Not Hot" team.
Of course, Lin Chen's current prominence in Lu Tian City is no accident, because he knows that he no longer needs to fear any retaliation from the Lin family of Haizhou City on this land.
Meanwhile, when the news of Lin Chen's company's founding and subsequent explosive success spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the Lin family, Lin Yiming and his family members were all furious and deeply disturbed upon hearing the news.
Lin Yiming felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Whenever he saw Lin Chen enjoying his success on television, not only transforming into a rising star in the business world but also surrounded by many beautiful women, his jealousy was as sour as lemon juice, almost tearing his heart apart.
However, Lu Tiancheng's fans had a completely different focus than the Lin family. They were particularly outraged by one of Lin Chen's actions—he had actually changed the "Tokyo Isn't Hot" trademark!
Lin Chen had already given this decision a lot of thought. After all, the original name always made people think of some shady industries, while they were upright businessmen.
Thus, the "Lu Tian Lin Clan" Group came into being. This name undoubtedly declared to the world that they had severed ties with the Lin family of Haizhou and were going their own way.
This move naturally attracted widespread attention from the public and the media. It should be noted that before "Tokyo Not Hot" was acquired by Lin Chen, it was a leading company in Lu Tiancheng's entertainment industry, second only to the Jin family's Jin Entertainment, with a well-known reputation.
But now, this brand has vanished into thin air in Lin Chen's single decision, its name erased forever. How could this not fill its devoted fans with resentment?
In an effort to salvage the situation, many people spontaneously gathered at the former site of "Tokyo Not Hot," which is now the headquarters of "Lu Tian Lin Clan," hoping to use their own strength to make Lin Chen change his mind.
Among the crowd gathered were many long-time employees of the company who had dedicated their youth and sweat to the company, only to face such a change in circumstances. How should Lin Chen deal with it? Fire them? That would undoubtedly mean a huge compensation bill awaiting him.
However, Lin Chen had his own plans. He activated the "advanced on-demand" function on the official website of "Lu Tian Lin Clan," and in just one week, the number of views approached 400,000. The three-episode drama brought him more than 2 million yuan in revenue, while the production cost of each episode was only 200,000 yuan.
Meanwhile, the Jin family did not sit idly by. Their Jin Entertainment was busy releasing a blockbuster film, "The Love Story of Erlong Lake," which was said to have cost 100 million yuan.
On the night of its premiere, the ratings were released. Since only these two dramas were airing during prime time, "The Love Story of Erlonghu" achieved a respectable initial rating of 8%. The following day, when the second episode aired, the ratings surged by two percentage points, reaching 10%!
This achievement has already delighted the Kim family, as it's already ranked second in its time slot. Moreover, this is only the first episode, and such a significant increase already indicates a promising future.
A week later, the third and fourth episodes aired, and its power gradually became apparent. At its peak, the viewership rating reached 13%, almost taking the top spot.
However, the true champion has always been "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard." This drama firmly held the top spot in the ratings charts with a viewership rating exceeding 20%.
For the owners and employees of "Lu Tian Lin's" Film and Television Company, this was undoubtedly a great start. How could they not be overjoyed to achieve such remarkable success with their first television production?
The Jin family, on the other hand, were furious. Their masterpiece, costing 100 million, was inferior to Lin Chen's TV series, which cost 200,000 per episode? They were filled with resentment and confusion.
To find out why, they watched the first few episodes of "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard" as soon as possible. Although they felt that the plot of this drama was even more outrageous than theirs, why did it have higher ratings than their "Erlonghu Love Story"? This question lingered in their minds for a long time.
