Shang Yechu gulped down another bag of hot milk before feeling better in her stomach.
"First, they don't take the audience seriously at all."
“People who don’t take the audience seriously will definitely suffer the consequences, it’s just a matter of time.” Shang Yechu said lazily, with milk foam still on the corner of her mouth. “She thinks that the old-fashioned audience of ‘Phoenix Plays with Dragon’ isn’t human, then they will teach her a lesson.”
"Secondly, they don't take CTS seriously."
"The effect was immediate. The dignity of some things cannot be challenged."
Shang Yechu walked to the bookshelf and began selecting books to read that evening. "Yang Huanyi wants to take the traffic route and transform into a movie star. He's gradually stopped taking CTS seriously—it's ridiculous. Back when the Sixth Empress Dowager was making a tribute film, a bunch of big shots with eight-figure salaries were vying to make cameo appearances for free, some even paying extra to get screen time. What, is he just burning money?"
“I’m more interested in something else,” 103 said. “Who exactly is going to expose Yang Huanyi for taking on multiple projects at once? You don’t have that much money to hire a marketing account worth five million.”
Shang Yechu pulled a copy of "Wuthering Heights: Bilingual Edition" from the bookshelf and said casually, "To defeat your opponent, you not only need to study your opponent, but also your opponent's opponent."
Shang Yechu sat back in her chair and said, "The Special Envoy of the City is a New Year's film. Go and see what other New Year's films are coming out at the same time?"
103-square-meter flatbed board: "Hundreds of units."
"..." Shang Yechu had no choice but to give up on the riddle, "There's also a movie called 'Detective of District 11,' which is the same type as 'The Special Envoy of the City.' It's a crime thriller and martial arts film."
103 immediately understood the unspoken meaning in Shang Yechu's words: "Was it the production company of this film that did this?"
"What else?" Shang Yechu turned the page. "The competition in the entertainment industry is brutal, and the battle for box office revenue is a real brain-teaser!"
"If you remove your accent, we might be able to communicate more effectively."
"Okay. 'Detective of District 11' is starring Shen Yunfan, a young actor who was in the same period as Wei Yize. Their career paths are similar. They are both delicate and weak pretty boys, both have 20 million fans and are top traffic stars. They are both useless actors with terrible acting skills who rely on their seniors to raise their status."
Shang Yechu shrugged: "Competitors are enemies, and these two who are constantly clashing are mortal enemies. Now they've both made the same type of movie, and they've both been released during the New Year's holiday season."
"—What a bloodthirsty hatred this is!" Shang Yechu read aloud. "Wei Yize's fans and Shen Yunfan's fans have already fought each other openly and secretly several times. Those were truly bloody petty squabbles."
At this point, Shang Yechu paused: "Weren't you always there when I was watching these entertainment news stories? How come you seem to know nothing about them?"
103 couldn't very well say directly that he found these trivial and pointless matters boring, so he wisely remained silent.
Shang Yechu lowered his head and said slowly, "Now, I've handed over such a big handle on Yang Huanyi—the female lead—to 'Detective of District 11' and Shen Yunfan's team. If they can't even make good use of this, such a useless team should just line up and jump into the river."
Although Yang Huanyi is not the lead actress, she is a genuine second-tier actress with her own appeal.
Now she's officially labeled an unprofessional artist, just one step away from "misconduct." Unless the producers of "The Special Envoy of the City" are completely out of their minds, they wouldn't risk using this label to embarrass CTS (China Television System).
In other words, right now, the promotion for "The Special Envoy of the City" can only rely on Wei Yize, this spineless actor with terrible acting skills. Outsiders may not know how much box office appeal he has, but insiders certainly do.
"The Special Envoy of the City" is practically half dead. And the audience that "Detective of Japan" represents is a huge loss.
Shang Yechu concluded, "Opportunity favors the prepared mind. The people from the '11th District Detective' production team and Shen Yunfan's team are probably keeping an eye on Wei Yize and Yang Huanyi's team. See, isn't this coming in handy?"
Shang Yechu exclaimed, "They're the real winners!"
