Let Them Be in the Limelight

As Yu Media’s biggest investment in a movie in recent years, “Fantasy Gods Chronicles” had made the news from the moment it was produced to its release.

Tonight’s premiere was even grander, with all the media gathered.

However, it was also because of this that this farce had quickly set off a wave after it had happened.

Shen Li had thought that all the brouhaha concerning Yu Media would only start after the movie was officially released on National Day, after the collapse of the reputation of “Fantasy God Chronicle” through word-of-mouth. She had not expected that someone would present such a wonderful scene in advance today.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Yu Media obviously had not expected someone to be so bold as to make a scene at the premiere. When those people had rushed onto the stage with banners, the security guards had not had enough time to stop them.

[ Boycott drug addict Yu Cheng! ] [ Boycott Yu Media and Fantasy God Chronicles! ]

The bright red banner had been unfurled. Every word was so clear and sharp, like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly stabbing at Yu Media and the “Fantasy God Chronicles” crew by surprise.

Perhaps it was because “Fantasy God Chronicles” was a top-tier project and had garnered a lot of buzz, or perhaps it was because Yu Cheng’s news had just taken over the major news pages in the morning. That caused many people to be in high spirits. In short, the speed at which the videos and photos spread was beyond expectations.

In just a short while, the top ten most searched searches were all related to this matter.

The main page and the topic square were in an uproar.

[ I’m shocked! I just found out that Yu Cheng is actually the boss of Yu Media?! ]

[ Ha, so “Fantasy God Chronicles” is a movie that was invested in by a drug addict? I was planning to go with my friends to see it on National Day, but forget it now. I don’t want to give money to a drug addict. smiling.jpg. ]

[ Blind! I heard that Director Meng Shan spent a long time to polish up the script. I was looking forward to it being released! It turns out that it’s produced by Yu Cheng’s company? I’m scared. ]

[ Well, let’s all be rational. Yu Cheng’s company has made a good investment in “Fantasy God Chronicles”, but it’s also the fruits of labor of the countless crew members! Isn’t it unfair to them if we destroy all of them just because of Yu Cheng? ]

[ I’m dying of laughter. Where do you think Yu Cheng got the money to take drugs? He abused a young up-and-coming model and almost killed her, yet in the end, he got away with it. What did he rely on? He didn’t show any mercy when extracting benefits, but now that the wind is blowing in a different direction, he wants to cut off their relationship. So, he’s going to reap all the benefits of that connection without paying any price? There’s no such good thing in this world! ]

[ That’s right! If it wasn’t for the Yu family’s repeated protection, would Yu Cheng have been able to live so freely until now? He committed so many crimes, but he managed to avoid getting in trouble until his current imprisonment. He has already been carefree for a long time! Yu Cheng shouldn’t be forgiven, and the Yu family can’t just stand by and do nothing! ]

[ Remember, every movie ticket you contribute to “Fantasy God Chronicles” will be the equivalent of firing a bullet at the narcotics police!!! ]

[ Boycott “Fantasy God Chronicles”! Boycott Yu Media! ]

…

The flames of war quickly spread from Yu Cheng to “Fantasy God Chronicles”, until even Yu Media was implicated.

By the time Yu Chen realized this, the situation had already gone out of control.

“How long has it been? Why hasn’t it disappeared from the hot searches?! ”

At this moment, Yu Yu had already lost the mood to drink.

Liu Bo was also feeling anxious and had a headache.

“President Yu, our people have already contacted them, but the deal didn’t go through…”

Yu Yu gritted her teeth.

Of course, if the negotiations had not gone through, that meant that it was not a matter of money.

It was obvious that someone wanted to take the opportunity to mess with them!

How important was it for a movie to have a good reputation?

Yet, in the end, this was what happened at today’s premiere of “Fantasy God Chronicles”!

“And President Yu, this matter has escalated so quickly that we didn’t even have time to react. Even if we forcefully remove the hot searches now, we can’t shut everyone’s mouth!”

Yu Yu was so angry that she laughed.

“Then what do you mean? Are we just going to ignore it?”

Liu Bo quickly said, “President Yu, that’s not what I meant, I–”

He was at a loss for words.

In actual fact, everyone knew that this was all Yu Cheng’s fault. For the past few years, his involvement in Yu Media had been in name only and he had not made any contributions to the company’s development. However, in the end, he had left behind such a mess!

To put it bluntly, he had entered the room nimbly, but other people still had to clean up his mess!

How could Yu Yu not understand this?

She massaged her temples.

“Then go and arrange for Internet trolls to try and shift the public’s attention from Yu Cheng and Yu Media to “Fantasy God Chronicles” itself.

It was impossible to completely erase the negative attention, so all they could do was divert attention away from it.

As long as everyone’s focus returned to the movie itself, there was still a possibility of it being saved.

Liu Bo quickly understood what she meant.

“Alright, President Yu, I’ll go and do it now.”

After ending the call, Yu Yu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

On one hand, she resented Yu Cheng. On the other hand, she was also trying to think about who was targeting them behind this incident.

She thought for a while, but she still could not come up with an answer.

In the end, she could only give up for the time being and continue to make phone calls to solve the problem.

…

Shen Li was scrolling through Weibo for a while when she received a call from Zhao Xuan.

Under normal circumstances, he would not call her if he could solve the problem just by sending her a message.

Shen Li answered the phone.

Zhao Xuan respectfully asked, “President Shen, have you seen the news about “Fantasy God Chronicle”?”

Shen Li had already guessed that he was calling her about this.

“Yes.”

Zhao Xuan was a little conflicted.

“It’s like this. Originally, we were planning to arrange for a few hot searches and some soft channels after today’s premiere, but we didn’t expect the situation to be like this. You see-”

The competition for the National Day slot had always been very fierce. In addition to “Chasing the Light” and “Fantasy God Chronicles”, there were five other movies that were released at the same time.

It was not easy to get a piece of the cake.

Everyone had been certain that “Fantasy God Chronicles” would be the biggest winner of this National Day screening, and the other films would only be able to share a small portion of the market.

At this time, publicity was very important.

Zhao Xuan felt that even if it could not compare to “Fantasy God Chronicles”, it would at least beat the other films, so he had made a lot of preparations for this.

Who would have known that now–

“There’s no need. “Fantasy God Chronicles” has stolen the limelight this time. There’s no need to fight with them.”

“But if that’s the case, I’m afraid that our film won’t get enough exposure…”

“I’m sure you haven’t forgotten how “Hibiscus” became popular.”

Zhao Xuan paused.

“President Shen, do you mean that… “Chasing the Light” can be the same as “Hibiscus”?”

But wasn’t the probability too small?

“Maybe,” Shen Li said as she smiled, “It’s possible that “Chasing the Light” will be more successful than “Hibiscus”. ”

Zhao Xuan was silent for a moment.

He knew that Shen Li had high hopes for “Chasing the Light”, but he had not expected it to be to this extent.

Shen Li said, “We still have a lot of time after this, so let’s give these two days to the “Fantasy God Chronicles” first.”

After all, there were only a few days left for this movie.

They had to cherish these few days.
