When I met Xu Lu at school again, she no longer looked so superior.
Lu Youyou walked forward and imitated her previous tone: "Hey, I said, money can't be spent only on publicity. How can it work if you use your heart to promote and your feet to shoot TV?"
Xu Lu gritted her teeth and said, "You talk as if you didn't spend any money on marketing. Aren't those good reviews earned by spending money?"
Lu Youyou raised her hands and said, "You are wrong. Those are all tap water. Our crew is very poor and we don't have the money to hire Internet trolls. Oh, we can't waste time here with you. We have to go to the celebration banquet."
After saying that, she proudly dragged Wen Qiaofangduo and other people from their club away from Xu Lu.
Xu Lu was extremely disappointed.
Because the ratings and number of views of the TV series have been declining, fans of the popular young actor Zhao Zhiyan have begun to vent their anger on the heroine, attacking her online all day long, saying that she is bringing bad luck to Zhao Zhiyan and that she is a useless heroine, and she is overwhelmed by it.
But the company doesn't care. Whether it's black or red, it's red. As long as it's red, it's fine. In this world, the most frightening thing is that no one discusses it.
Xu Lu didn't like this kind of blackmail. She wanted both fame and fortune. Watching her TV series being crushed to the ground by Wen Qiao and others was simply mental torture for her.
And the Taochang on the other side.
Vice President Xiao Qin was furious. Catherine was called into his office and was scolded as soon as she entered...
"You were the one who decided on the play Feng Yue, right?"
Catherine felt a little guilty: "At the time, I saw that this drama had good sales prospects. With Zhao Zhiyan, the director had also directed several Republican-style TV dramas with good reputations. I thought that if we hype it up, plus the reputation of the original novel was also good, it would definitely produce good results."
President Qin was so angry that he pulled his tie. "You are also a veteran of our company. How can you be so wrong when watching a drama? I also heard that the 18-year-old Wei Weitian first approached our company, but you rejected her, is that right?"
Catherine thought, this is really a case of bringing up something irrelevant, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "The show really didn't sell well at the time. Not only was it full of new actors, but I watched the finished film and found that the plot wasn't conflicting enough, and there were no explosive moments. It was just about family, friendship, and love, without any conventional plots. It seems that the promotion was good in the later stages."
"What's the point of you just selling a show? It's not like a few years ago. Traffic bonuses are not as good as they used to be. Audiences are not as easy to fool. If the quality is not good, it's useless to just rely on fresh actors. Audiences want to see the sincerity of a show. Do you understand sincerity?"
Catherine, who was in her forties, was scolded so badly that she lost all her face.
Finally, Mr. Qin said, "You should transfer to the Media Department. They are short of a deputy manager."
From director of content cooperation department to deputy manager of media department.
This is a clear demotion.
The price she paid for her misjudgment this time was too high.
Although she was demoted, her colleagues in the media department of the Taoyuan factory still held a welcome party for her and held a banquet at Baoyan Building.
Although Catherine was not in the mood, she did not want to refuse her new colleague's kindness, so she went with her new colleague that night to Baoyanlou, the most low-key and luxurious restaurant in the city center.
The car was parked in the garden in front of the hotel. Catherine got out of the car and saw a group of familiar figures. She cursed in her heart, "I didn't check the almanac before going out."
It was Wen Qiao and others who were going to attend the MTV celebration party.
It's the last day of February. Don't forget to vote if you haven't voted for the monthly ticket, otherwise it will be a waste.
