Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 137 In front of my best friend
When Cheng Xi called Jin Xiaoluo in.

Tianai also squatted down and started silently.

Cheng Xi was completely leaning back in his boss chair, enjoying himself.

After a while, Jin Xiaoluo came in with a notebook and a pen.

As soon as she entered Cheng Xi's office, Jin Xiaoluo sniffed and said:

"Boss, it smells so good. Did Tianai come in just now?"

Cheng Xi and the people below were stunned when they heard this.

But who is Cheng Xi? It’s just a small scene, just a few sprinkles of water.

So he simply admitted:
"Yes, I just finished talking to her and let her go."

Cheng Xi is an honest person and generally doesn't lie.

"Oh, I thought so. I thought I saw her come in before."

Did you see her go out?

Cheng Xi didn't say much, just nodded lightly. The calmer he was at this moment, the more Jin Xiaoluo would believe it.

Although Jin Xiaoluo felt a little strange, because she had just wanted to wait for her best friend Tianai to come out.

You wanted to talk to her in private, but she left without you noticing?
But she doesn't seem to be in the outer office?
At this time, she looked at the boss again and felt that the boss's expression seemed a little strange.

His expression was changing with endurance, and he looked a little painful.

Is it because the boss has been too busy with "The Beginning" recently?

So he asked with concern:
"Boss, are you feeling unwell?"

Yeah, your boss is more than a little uncomfortable.

It's just a little too comfortable.

Xiaoluo, you don’t understand until you try it.

Then Cheng Xi said:
"I've been a little tired lately. It's okay. Just report on your recent publicity work."

"Okay, Boss. Our recent promotional efforts for 'The Beginning' focus on the following aspects. First,..."

Cheng Xi looked at Jin Xiaoluo, who was standing straight in front of him with her big breasts and two ponytails.

Then he moved his lips and reported on the propaganda work in a clipped tone.

And her best friend is doing similar work.

Cheng Xi listened to the report and gave instructions at the same time.

"That, we need to fully open it up and move forward."

Fully liberalize? Promote?
What does boss mean?
I am reporting on my work and my boss should be pointing out my shortcomings. How could I be so stupid?

The boss assigned tasks and listened to reports despite his illness. He is so serious and responsible.

I have to live up to my boss's hard work in cultivating me.

So I immediately contacted my recent work and said:
"Oh, boss, we have fully released our resources for promotion."

"Well, Tian Xiaoluo, you did a good job."

Cheng Xi almost called out Tianai's name.

After hearing Jin Xiaoluo's report was almost finished, Cheng Xi instructed:
"Hey, Xiaoluo. Please write it down in your notebook. I'll go through a few key points."

"First, publicity is not thorough enough. We need to further seize opportunities."

"Second, we must quickly master the art of promoting ourselves while suppressing the other side, and we must do both effectively."

Jin Xiaoluo felt a little strange when she heard this, because her boss never used to say these clichés.

Now that the studio has grown bigger and stronger, has the boss also been corrupted and assimilated by power?
But the boss showed no intention of stopping:
"Third, we must also be careful not to use it too frequently. We must strike quickly at weak points and never let the tiger go back into the mountains."

"Yes, yes, that's it, don't pause."

Jin Xiaoluo quickly wrote down the boss's request and said:
"Okay, boss, we haven't paused yet. We're still taking advantage of the situation to crack down on Zheng Shuang's fans!"

"Mmmmm, well done, spank me hard."

Cheng Xi continued to speak while feeling:

"Of course, you have to pay attention to your surroundings occasionally. By the way, do the other fans dare to continue causing trouble?"

"No, it's basically quiet."

"Well, they can't be quiet, we have to be quiet too, understand?"

Cheng Xi then directed:

"We need to do all our work well and comprehensively, with our eyes focused on more than just one thing. We must also be ruthless and not show mercy. We must seize the other party's weakness when we can, and then beat them to death."

"Oh, Xiao Luo understands. It's better to pursue the enemy with all your remaining courage! We can't let the tiger go back to the mountain easily, and we can't stop easily."

After lecturing Jin Xiaoluo for a long time, Cheng Xi finally felt tired and exhausted.

So he said:
"For the benefits you gain, you can't give them back. Only when you put them into your heart can you finally feel at ease. Tian Xiaoluo, do you understand?"

"I understand, boss. We just need to keep expanding our winning streak and find ways to convert their fans into ours. We also need to maintain that relationship and try to make sure all of them become Zuibai fans."

"That's right, Xiaoluo, you really understand the boss now."

Jin Xiaoluo couldn't help but smile shyly when she heard her boss praising her, which was a rare occurrence.

I feel like the boss seems a lot gentler today.

My heart feels sweet.

I thought I must tell my best friend Tianai about the changes in my boss when I get home.

It should be because I made money and I am in a better mood.

Cheng Xi really didn't realize that one day he would be so in tune with Xiao Luo.

The boss and you are really becoming more and more in tune with each other.

I felt like someone thought they had won.

Cheng Xi thought:

No, we have to take advantage of Tianai's sharpness.

So he deliberately said:

"By the way, Xiaoluo, aren't you looking for Tianai?"

"Yes, boss."

"Then do you know where she is?"

"I should go back now. I'll go find her after get off work."

Seeing that Tian Ai still had no reaction, Cheng Xi delivered a fatal blow and said:

"Do you think she might be hiding in the office?"

"Boss, are you kidding me? Why are you hiding someone in your office?"

Jin Xiaoluo seemed to have really thought about it and looked around.

Seriously said:
"Unless it's hidden under the boss's desk."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he couldn't help but started coughing.

The person under him suddenly froze and dared not move.
Cheng Xi thought, Xiaoluo, you are finally smart for once.

But the boss wants to test whether you are brave enough.

"Yes, that's possible. Why don't you come and check it out?"

"Haha, the boss is joking."

"The boss is not kidding."

"Impossible! Why would I investigate something that's absolutely impossible? Boss, that's fine. I'm out of here."

You are still too timid, and you need to continue to cultivate yourself.

When Cheng Xi heard Xiao Luo was about to leave, he remembered what he really wanted to confess.

I always put work first.

Cheng Xi is a hardworking person.

So he leaned forward, put his elbows on the desk, crossed his hands and said:
"The boss has something else to tell me. Previously, because of the promotion of 'The Beginning', he asked the studio to focus all its publicity resources on promoting Reba. This was to create a head-turning effect so that the entire studio could benefit."

When Jin Xiaoluo and Tianai heard this, they added what their boss had said before.

I also roughly understood why Reba occupied 70% of the publicity resources in the early stage. She is the heroine of "The Beginning", and promoting her is equivalent to promoting the entire "The Beginning" crew.

If she can't get up, everyone will get less attention.

So I understand why Cheng Xi had previously adopted the strategy of focusing on attacking one person.

I also felt a little ashamed of my previous ignorance.

The other one also felt embarrassed, so he started a second war.

"The concentrated promotion period for 'The Beginning' is almost over, so we just need to maintain the basic resources."

“你把热芭的7成宣传资源调整一下。热芭降为2.5成，天爱增加到2.5成。金辰2成不变，李一桐还是1成，醉白工作室现在分配2成。”

Cheng Xi had not previously made a special effort to promote the studio, but now it can be put on the agenda.

We need to take advantage of the momentum of "The Beginning" to build this brand well!
"Also notify all artists under your company to write 'Zuibai Studio Artist' in their introduction column. Everything will be done today."

When Tianai heard that her publicity resources had suddenly been restored from nothing, and that they had been increased to 30%, she was treated the same as Reba.

And the boss didn't tell me in advance, so it was obvious that he had thought about it beforehand.

I couldn't help but feel a little touched. I still have a position in the boss's heart, at least second.

So Tianai started working hard again, looked up at Cheng Xi and threw him a coquettish glance.

That expression really does seem a bit lacking in something.

What the hell? I am the kind of person who can’t resist temptation.

I am completely immune to this kind of trick.

So he quickly said:

"That's all. Please close the door for me and put on the Do Not Disturb button. I need to do something alone."

If someone doesn't want to live, Cheng Xi will of course strike hard.

As for immunity, it’s not really immunity at all.

Is it not okay to be a man?
"Okay, boss."

As soon as Xiao Luo closed the door and went out, Tianai stood up.

With a white smile on his lips, he looked at Cheng Xi with a victorious look.

Cheng Xi couldn't resist any longer, this was an invitation.

Although Cheng Xi is innocent, she still understands this.

So he turned her over and pressed her on the desk.

Then cover it with your hands.

At this time, not only Cheng Xi was busy arranging work in the office.

Mr. Xiao from Tianyu Media was also busy running around.

It’s just that one is in a winner’s posture, while the other is busy cleaning up the mess.

"What's wrong with you guys? Haven't you figured out a way to stop 'The Beginning' from continuing to see its ratings rise? Or a way to save 'Phoenix Totem' from its decline?"

"Why does the company support you?"

Mr. Xiao was so angry that he slammed the table to the ground.

She was originally the iron lady of the company. Although she was very capable, the only flaw was her bad temper.

Everyone present was the publicity backbone of Tianyu Company, and Zheng Shuang and her agent He Li were also present at the meeting.

Zheng Shuang hugged herself with her arms at this time, showing a defensive and distrustful posture.

She thought she had victory in her grasp, but she was only happy for two days before being severely slapped in the face by Zuibai.

Moreover, not only did the ratings of "Phoenix Totem" drop below 1, it was also ruthlessly canceled by Mango TV.

It can be said that misfortunes never come singly.

The dream of being comparable to Senior Sister Yang Mi is gone, but I hope that after this incident, my popularity will not be lower than that of Reba.

Then the status of her own little flower will be lost, which will hurt her foundation.

Zheng Shuang is very clear about this. Even if your fans support you when you are popular, once you are no longer in this position.

They also run the fastest.

After all, fans are not fans of a particular person, but simply admire the strong.

Didn’t you see that after Kun Kun fell, his most loyal fans suddenly scattered like monkeys when the tree fell?

Instead, the die-hard haters showed their chicken feet and started to defend Kun Kun everywhere, adding to his popularity.

"We've already pushed the promotion of 'Phoenix Totem' to its highest level. I guess the audience has become a little numb to palace fighting dramas, hence the ratings."

Under pressure from Mr. Xiao, the operations manager chose to respond.

After all, he believed that what he said was true.

Shuangzi couldn't listen anymore and said loudly:

"Now you're telling me you're numb. Why didn't you do research before you created this show?"

"My fan club is seeing dozens or even hundreds of people leaving every day, and my Weibo followers are also dropping. Will you take responsibility for this?"

When I think about those fans of mine who not only quit the group but also became Zuibai fans, I get so angry that my chest feels tight.

This wave of people are being sold out and still counting money for Zuibai.

Moreover, he had shamelessly posted a lot of negative comments about Yin Yang Zui Bai's new drama "The Beginning" on Weibo before. Even if he deleted those Weibo posts now, netizens were still taking screenshots and spreading them everywhere.

You can see it everywhere.

I used to check Weibo from time to time and was so happy every day.

It’s been a few days now, and I don’t even dare to go online to see how many followers I’ve lost. I don’t even dare to open the comments.

I can say that I have experienced the feeling of having my fan club fans attack Zuibai's Weibo.

"Mr. Xiao, think about it, we were looking for cooperation with Zuibai Studio at the beginning, and it didn't necessarily have to be a life-and-death battle."

"Since Phoenix Totem is already in this state, instead of wasting resources trying to prop it up, it's better to develop the next good project."

Alen, the production manager, suddenly spoke up at the meeting.

Alen himself comes from a Western background. He doesn't care about people's grudges, but rather values ​​tangible interests.

When Mr. Xiao heard what Alen said, he asked:

"What's your next project? Do you have a plan?"

"Mr. Xiao, weren't you also optimistic about Zui Bai's "The Beginning"? Otherwise, you wouldn't have arranged for Zheng Shuang to audition."

Alen saw Mr. Xiao pursed his lips and nodded, and continued:
"You mentioned that you've been researching Zuibai. Every one of his works is a huge hit, so we could collaborate with him. Besides, he has a novel that hasn't been adapted into a TV series yet."

When Mr. Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he blurted out:
"You mean 'My Love from the Star'?"

Alen nodded.

At this time, Zheng Shuang also realized that she had seen "My Love from the Star".

I believe every girl who wants to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry envies Cheon Song Yi.

This book was recommended to her by Jing Tian.

So Jing Tian is considered to be a half-fan of Zuibai, no wonder she reposted Zuibai's "The Beginning" on Weibo when the two of them were fighting last time.

Zheng Shuang thought:

If I were the heroine of "My Love from the Star", it might be even more popular than "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

This book is one of the few that she can get into.

Although she and Zuibai are at odds, no matter how tough she talks, she is actually aware of Zuibai's abilities.

Just look at how popular "The Beginning" is right now and how helpless everyone here is.

Moreover, this is a drama that promotes a heroine. The personality bonus of the role played by top actress Cheon Song Yi can also be projected onto herself. It is simply tailor-made for her!
If the company helps me get the role of Cheon Song Yi
Then wouldn’t I feel great?
As for "Phoenix Totem" and the like, Shuangzi completely forgot about it.

As time goes by, "The Beginning" has completed its premiere.

The complete ratings for "The Beginning" are also out.

On the first day, the ratings were 0.99%.

The next day, the ratings were 1.16%.

On the third day, the ratings were 1.34%.

On the fourth day, the ratings were 1.53%.

On the fifth day, the ratings were 1.69%.

On the sixth day, the ratings were 1.91%.

On the seventh day, the ratings were 2.23%.

On the eighth day, the ratings were 2.6%.

On the ninth day, the ratings were 3.01%.

On the tenth day, the ratings were 3.19%.

On the eleventh day, the ratings were 3.28%.

On the twelfth day, the ratings were 3.4%.

On the thirteenth day, the ratings were 3.52%.

On the fourteenth day, the ratings were 3.71%.

In the end, the average viewership rating of "The Beginning" was 2.4%, with a peak of 3.71%.

Cheng Xi looked at the ratings, except for the seventh and eighth days when Aunt Guo appeared.

In addition to causing a surge in ratings, the increase was particularly significant during the finale.

This is also in line with the actual situation.

The average viewership rating of "Palace" was 2.51%, with a peak of 3.51%.

It’s a pity that it didn’t surpass Sister Mi’s “Palace” in the end.

Cheng Xi could also understand it, after all, "The Beginning" had a congenital flaw.

At the beginning, it was suppressed by Mango TV and "Phoenix Totem", with only 0.99% of the first broadcast.

Moreover, the fact that it was broadcast in Yanjing and achieved such a high viewership rating has caused a sensation in the industry.

No one expected that the highest ratings could surpass "Palace".

At this point, everyone understood that if "The Beginning" was first broadcast on Mango TV, it would be no problem for the average ratings to exceed "Palace".

And with the end of the last episode of the TV series "Beginning".

The discussion about who the murderer was came to an end.

Now the focus is on the cause of the crime - cyber violence.

In addition, major media outlets have also had extensive discussions on the heartwarming ending of the last episode.

"It looks like a suspense drama at first, even with a touch of science fiction. But it is so down-to-earth, focusing on the dreams and struggles of every ordinary person. It not only saves the people in the car, but also saves our lives."

——Yenching Times.

"Director Zui Bai's sympathy and concern for ordinary people are beyond words. It turns out that a good film doesn't necessarily focus on the palace battles of queens and concubines, the flying around of martial arts masters, or the lingering love affairs of overbearing CEOs. It can also focus on the lives and struggles of ordinary people."

——Daily entertainment.

"The bus explosion in 'The Beginning' was actually just a minor incident of cyberbullying. As the internet becomes increasingly ubiquitous, people hide behind screens, their selfish desires fueled by the masks they wear, leading to cyberbullying. The discussion in 'The Beginning' is worth deep reflection for all of us."

——Rule of law in the world.

Netizens also commented:
[Everyone gave a perfect ending. The last episode really made me cry.]

【Teacher Zuibai blew us away for the entire episode, leaving all the tenderness for the end.】

【Resisting online violence starts with you and me.】

After the broadcast of "The Beginning", Zuibai Studio held a celebration banquet immediately.

Cheng Xi specifically requested that the event be held in a five-star hotel.

After all, you can't be stingy now that you're making money.

There were a lot of people attending the meeting, except for the people from Zuibai Studio who were all present.

There were also crew members from Sohu Video and several leaders from Yanjing TV.

The main actors of "The Beginning" and some old friends of Cheng Xi.

Since Cheng Xi did not want to reveal his identity for the time being, the promotion of "The Beginning" has basically come to an end.

Therefore, no media colleagues were invited to participate.

At the banquet, everyone was in high spirits and congratulated each other.

Cheng Xi also specially prepared a large red envelope for everyone as a reward for their hard work these days.

The main actors and actresses benefit the most directly.

Auntie Guo Liu Dan benefited from her outstanding performance in "The Beginning".

Now every performance at the National Theatre is sold out, and ticket prices have doubled.

Not to mention the numerous film offers that are coming in.

In the past, she often had no films to shoot, but now she chooses the films she wants, and her personal salary has increased several times.

The net worth of Zhu Yilong, Liu Yijun, Zhang Songwen and others skyrocketed overnight, even though only a few people in the entertainment industry knew and paid attention to them before.

It is now well known to the public.

Apart from Zhang Songwen's role as the driver, the additional effect is not that obvious.

Zhu Yilong and Liu Yijun have already received several offers to play the leading male role, and even several film contracts.

This opened a wide door for their acting careers.

Because Li Xiaoran is already a famous actress, the bonus given to her in the drama is not that obvious.

It just adds a classic TV image of a public security chief, after all, she has never played a police officer before.

The actors all raised their glasses to thank Director Cheng for their changes.

Cheng Xi also accepted everyone who came.

Some actors even exaggeratedly said that Cheng Xi gave him a new life.

This made Cheng Xi humble himself immediately.

As someone who has been through it, he knows it deeply.

No matter how much you owe someone, you cannot always talk about helping and supporting them.

People who are grateful will naturally express it when necessary, but to those who are ungrateful, nothing you say will help.

On the contrary, if you say it too much, the person you are grateful to may feel annoyed. After all, every time you say it, it consumes the friendship.

After dealing with these actors, Li Xiaoran was pulled by Jin Miaomiao to come in front of Cheng Xi.

"You came to find your Da Cheng, why are you shy?"

Jin Miaomiao first congratulated Cheng Xi and toasted him, then started joking about him and Li Xiaoran:

"Da Cheng, can you introduce me to a brother as lovable as you?"

When Cheng Xi heard this, he smiled and said:

"No problem, didn't I tell you last time? I can choose either. But I'm afraid Jin Chen will fight me to death, so I'll wait until I find a chance to find someone for Teacher Jin."

Li Xiaoran looked at his Da Cheng and said this, and couldn't help but punch him.

This used to be Jin Miaomiao's action, but now it's usually her who does it.

It can be seen that the roles of the three people have changed.

In this way, Cheng Xi told some jokes to the two older sisters.

Both of them were amused by Cheng Xi and burst into laughter.

Cheng Xike is such a wonderful person, he can always make everyone happy by chatting.

Da Ran and Teacher Jin couldn't help but think.

If he hadn't seen someone else wanting to toast Cheng Xi, he probably wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Finally, of course, the cute Reba came to toast Cheng Xi.

"Brother, I want to sleep with you tonight."
