After the banquet, Fang Zhicheng first sent Fatty Qiao to the hotel where the Yuzhou research group was staying. Fatty Qiao warmly invited Fang Zhicheng to visit Yuzhou when he was free. Fang Zhicheng said goodbye to him after exchanging a few pleasantries. Fatty Qiao was still a good friend. Fang Zhicheng only contacted him the most when they were classmates in the Central County Office. Although the two are now in different places, after ten or twenty years, this kind of classmate relationship is one of the most solid relationships.
Back to the hotel Qin Yuming booked for her. Qin Yuming came in after Fang Zhicheng, and Fang Zhicheng walked over to her and kissed her for a long time before they separated. Qin Yuming blushed and said with a smile: "It's been so long since we last met, why are you so impatient?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled happily and said, "It feels like a long time since we last met. How was today's artist debut party?" Fang Zhicheng only attended the final banquet and did not participate in other events.
Qin Yuming nodded and smiled, "The effect is quite good. Most of the domestic and Hong Kong media have been invited. Du Xi's appeal is extraordinary. Everyone knows that Du Xi is not only an actor, but also a major investor. This is very explosive news."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "Let me guess the headlines in the entertainment sections of all the major newspapers tomorrow will definitely be "National Idol Transforms into a Boss, Pushing Three New Artists."
Qin Yuming asked, "Did you secretly read the company's press release?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I can guess the result. Nowadays, the Internet reacts much faster than traditional paper media. Let's take a look at a few news portals to see how they respond."
There was a computer in the suite, so Fang Zhicheng sat over and turned it on, then logged into several major websites such as Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, and said with a smile, "It's more popular than I thought. There are more than 10,000 comments under one piece of news. Let's take a look at other sections. Wow, Du Xi's fan club has already occupied all major forums. By the way, there should be a lot of water army here, right?"
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "With the advent of the Internet, we need to learn new ways of propaganda. Hiring online media is a common method."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "The government needs to learn from you in this regard. We are still stuck in the old way of thinking. The Propaganda Department generally looks for traditional media channels and rarely uses new media. Although some governments now have official websites, they are not active enough and do not have enough traffic, so the results are minimal."
Qin Yuming rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said unhappily, "I think you've gone a little too far. You keep talking about your business. You were just talking about the artist company, but now you're talking about the government."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Forgive me, I will correct it next time."
"Huh? This comment..." Fang Zhicheng's face showed a hint of amusement. It said, "I really like the new artist Yang Xiaoqiao next to Du Xi. I remember her deeply after watching Swordsman 2."
Fang Zhicheng said: "This comment was definitely written by a troll army, right?"
Qin Yuming smiled faintly, "This is a routine of hype. Not only this one, but every piece of news related to Yang Xiaoqiao is the work of the company's planning department."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Qin Yuming and said, "It seems that you are planning to promote Yang Xiaoqiao as the main character in this artist debut meeting. Or are the other two just supporting roles?"
Qin Yuming saw that Fang Zhicheng had seen through the mystery, so he explained truthfully: "As an artist company that was established not long ago, we are still far behind the old artist companies in terms of resources. It would cost too much to make three artists famous at once. So the company has made a preliminary plan to first concentrate its superior resources to package Yang Xiaoqiao, who has the best conditions, and then attract the attention of venture capital to strive for smooth financing. Once the financing is successful, we will train other artists."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "You have good intentions."
If Yang Xiaoqiao was the only one to attend the artist's debut, it would appear that the artist's company was not qualified enough. Instead, they launched three people at the same time, and then guided public opinion to focus on Yang Xiaoqiao, which eventually made Yang Xiaoqiao famous. Green leaves go with red flowers, and the best of the best is selected. This is a marketing strategy.
Qin Yuming said: "This is Du Xi's idea."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect Du Xi to have such a business mind."
Qin Yuming rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Most celebrities who become famous are actually very smart. Du Xi's reputation in the outside world is that she has a strong personality, but at the same time, the outside world has also commented that she works very hard. If you have worked with her, you will fully feel it."
After hearing what Qin Yuming said, Fang Zhicheng's opinion of Du Xi changed. In Fang Zhicheng's eyes, Du Xi has always been an unreasonable and unruly woman.
After watching the news for a while, Fang Zhicheng found that Qin Yuming was in a good mood. The press conference for the new artist's debut was suddenly moved forward by several days, causing the planners and executors to be in a hurry, but the final effect was good and achieved the expected purpose. Yang Xiaoqiao successfully attracted the attention of the outside world.
Fang Zhicheng yawned, looking tired, and said, "Sister Ming, it's getting late, why don't you take a rest?"
Qin Yuming nodded, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Fang Zhicheng suddenly grabbed Qin Yuming's soft hands and said with a low laugh: "Let's wash together!"
…
Around five in the morning of the next day, he was still in a dream when he was woken up by a cell phone. Fang Zhicheng touched the phone and saw that it was Xie Yuxin calling. He was startled, thinking that something had happened to Lele, and quickly sat up from the bed. Xie Yuxin explained her purpose. It turned out that Du Xi had to take an early flight to attend a notice in another place, and then asked Xie Yuxin to ask Fang Zhicheng to take her to the airport.
Fang Zhicheng said in a hoarse voice, "Doesn't the artist company have a car? Why do you have to ask me to send it?"
Xie Yuxin smiled and said, "That's how she explained it. She is now one of the directors of the artist company and she has to be frugal in everything. Aren't you in Qiongjin? It's just the right time to use you. Who asked Du Xi to invest in the artist company? Was it your idea?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Then wait for me for forty minutes, I'll be there soon."
Qin Yuming heard Fang Zhicheng's movements and woke up. After listening to Fang Zhicheng's story, she smiled and said, "Du Xi is right. Since you have tormented her, she will torment you again. It can be regarded as a tit-for-tat."
Fang Zhicheng finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. He suddenly realized that Du Xi might know about Fatty Qiao. Du Xi originally refused to meet Fatty Qiao, but he still gave her a "surprise" yesterday. Du Xi gave him face at the banquet, but after the incident, with Du Xi's unique personality, she naturally became more and more angry, so she finally decided to torture Fang Zhicheng.
After a flurry of activity, Fang Zhicheng successfully picked up Du Xi. Du Xi, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, a windbreaker, blue jeans, and black leather boots, slowly entered the back seat of the car. Fang Zhicheng turned around and glanced at Du Xi, his eyes falling on the knee of her jeans, where there was a hole, revealing her fair skin.
"Have you had breakfast?" Fang Zhicheng asked as he started the car.
"We'll eat on the plane later." Du Xi took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, and said slowly, "Fang Zhicheng, if you encounter a situation like last night again, be careful or I'll kill you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I just brought my friend to meet you, and this has become a life-and-death feud?"
Du Xi said coldly: "Everyone has a bottom line. I don't like the feeling of being deceived by others."
Fang Zhicheng continued to explain: "My dear Miss Du Xi, don't think too much. In fact, my friend is really just your fan. He doesn't have any improper thoughts about you. He has collected all your MVs at home, and he has watched every work you starred in carefully."
After hearing what Fang Zhicheng said, Du Xi's tone softened a little and said, "This won't happen again."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly, thinking that Du Xi's personality was really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she was not interested in men, otherwise, it would be a disaster for her to get married.
Arriving at the domestic aviation terminal, Fang Zhicheng helped Du Xi drag her suitcase, like her personal bodyguard. Fang Zhicheng was not annoyed, as most people would not mind carrying a suitcase for a big star.
Although Du Xi was going to have breakfast on the plane, Fang Zhicheng still dragged her to the Auntie Dumpling Restaurant in the station to have breakfast. While eating, Du Xi kept pressing down the brim of her hat. Fang Zhicheng smiled unhappily and said, "The more you try to hide it, the easier it is to be recognized. It's better to be more open. If someone asks, just deny it and tell them that they recognized the wrong person."
Du Xi rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "You're talking so much while eating. Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
