Zhang Fengxue took a long time to reply this time, and Zhang Xincheng was getting a little impatient.
Even if something happened, it shouldn't have taken this long, right?
Two hours have passed, it's almost time to get off work.
In the half hour before the end of the workday, Zhang Fengxue seemed to have weighed the pros and cons and replied, "800,000 US dollars."
Zhang Fengxue received $200,000 from Rizhao, but she was there to make money. She probably thought Li Zhaoyang's movie was of poor quality, which is why she was so eager to find a blogger to promote it.
She would never stand someone up if she didn't have enough money to back her up.
$800,000 was the only price she could accept for standing up Rizhao Group.
When Zhang Xincheng saw this reply, he almost thought he had misread it and it was $80,000.
I rubbed my eyes and realized it was actually 800,000.
$800,000 is equivalent to 5.4 million Chinese Yuan.
Asking for such high prices after only a little promotion?
If you have 30 to 40 million fans, this price is very reasonable.
However, bloggers who have just surpassed 10 million followers are not worth this price.
After weighing his options, Zhang Xincheng replied, "Ms. Zhang, I think we can talk some more."
Zhang Fengxue: "Anything below $800,000 is out of the question."
Watanabe from Rizhao hired her to stir up trouble and smear Li Zhaoyang. If we stand Watanabe up, we'll definitely be targeted, so we have to charge a higher price for this job.
Zhang Xincheng: "Ms. Zhang, you work in the film criticism industry, don't you know the going rate? Or is this your standard price all along? Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?"
This time, Zhang Fengxue simply didn't reply.
The astute Zhang Xincheng noticed the problem and decided to test the waters: "Your official account has 10.73 million followers. According to market rates, it would be between $100,000 and $150,000. Considering the premium you could get is $200,000, you're asking for $800,000. Could it be... that Teacher Li Zhaoyang has a grudge against you?"
Zhang Fengxue: "Why are you so indecisive, Wanxia? You just need to reply with 'accept' or 'reject.' If you accept, we can discuss the details in person. If you reject, we can end this chat."
This time, Zhang Xincheng didn't reply to the other party, prematurely ending his conversation with Zhang Fengxue, and immediately ran to report the situation to the director.
Unexpectedly, we discovered an unexpected delight.
"Let me see." After Zhang Shulan finished reading the chat history, she narrowed her eyes and thought for about ten seconds before her thoughts came back: "Those three groups have made their move."
They were so disgusted, I thought they could hold back.
It now seems highly likely that the heads of the three groups joined forces, and Zhang Shulan speculates that hiring bloggers to smear them is just part of their plan.
"Xiao Zhang, Zhao Yang used a counter-strategy before, now let's use the same strategy to respond to Zhang Fengxue, the film critic, and provoke her to launch a massive smear campaign against our new movie."
Truman's quality speaks for itself; they have nothing to fear from any smear campaigns.
On the contrary, the more they smear someone, the harder the person behind them will fall.
Zhang Xincheng: "What if we guessed wrong, and she wasn't actually hired by those three groups to smear us at all?"
Zhang Shulan: "So you need to be careful about how you handle things."
"Understood."
Zhang Xincheng immediately took out his phone and replied to the other party: "Excuse me for being blunt, you are not worth this price. I don't know who gave you the courage to ask for $800,000. Your behavior of disrupting market prices is disgusting. I can only accept a price of $200,000 at most."
Five minutes later, Zhang Fengxue replied, "Hehe, goodbye."
After that, Zhang Xincheng was blocked by the other party.
"What does it mean to be blocked? Was this film critic actually hired by those three companies?"
Zhang Shulan laughed and said, "Won't we know when the movie is released? Your words have been deeply etched in her mind. If she really wants to smear us, she will spare no effort to attack us. If she wasn't hired by anyone, she should have expected to be criticized if she dared to ask for $800,000."
A film review blogger with millions of followers is definitely not worth $800,000.
"Alright, relax and rest these next couple of days. We'll be busy after filming wraps up." Once filming is finished, Zhang Shulan will have to personally help with promotion or see if there are any offline events that need to be organized.
Afterwards, Zhang Xincheng successfully booked a meeting with Flying Shark Film Critic and had a fairly pleasant conversation with them.
The other party originally asked for $140,000, but Feisha said that if he could take a photo with Teacher Zhaoyang, he could get a discount to $130,000.
That's settled this time.
Feisha is a fan of Teacher Zhaoyang.
Zhang Xincheng wants to fulfill the dreams of every fan.
...
Inside an apartment whose walls are covered with various movie posters.
A woman with her hair tied up, after blocking Zhang Xincheng, angrily said, "You say I'm disgusting? Heh, I'll give you a surprise, Wanxia Li Zhaoyang."
...
"Kimura, have you found out the information I asked you to?"
Three days later, Sihai Group.
Music Minister Noda Kazuto has been closely monitoring the movements of the evening glow, especially those concerning Li Zhaoyang.
Kimura Taro reported, "I've found out that Li Zhaoyang's movie is scheduled for release at the end of this month."
Noda was somewhat surprised: "It's scheduled for release at the end of this month? His movie has finished filming?"
Taro Kimura: Not yet, the crew is still at the filming location.
Noda: "You've already planned a release date for the end of the month before filming has even wrapped up? You're that confident?"
Kimura: "Should I go and invite some film critics/bloggers...?"
Kimura now knows that the minister, as well as the heads of Rizhao and Kanagawa, have been tricked by Wanxia, so he also wants to do his part for the minister.
Noda: "Hisho and the Crows will handle it; we don't need to worry about that. What we need to do is intercept the Sunset's public relations efforts."
Kimura: "I understand."
In what situations is it necessary to "hijack" a PR deal?
Rizhao and Hanya may be planning a wave of public opinion manipulation later.
He doesn't know exactly how to guide him, so just follow his instructions.
Noda's smile grew increasingly sinister, then he revealed a gleaming set of teeth: "You slut Li, are you ready to be disgusted by me?"
