Chapter 720: Too Busy For This
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What’s wrong with these people!
Why are they helping to promote the opposition’s drama?
Have they forgotten which side they’re on?”
Guo Qingchen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. In the group chat with another actor, she asked, “Qiongyu, Xiaofei, why are you promoting ‘Broken Continent’?”
As soon as he finished asking, Guo Qingchen received a private message from Gao Qiongyu.
Gao Qiongyu sent a pitiful and tearful emoji and said, “Director, it was director Hou Yuehai who asked me to help promote it. I really can’t refuse.”
If it was an ordinary director, she would have refused.
But it was Hou Yuehai!
She wasn’t getting any younger, so she couldn’t keep being an actress in idol dramas.
It was rare for Hou Yuehai to come looking for her, so she also wanted to take the opportunity to have some relations with Hou Yuehai.
Guo Qingchen said, “It’s okay, I understand.”
In reality, Guo Qingchen was furious.
How could he not have guessed what Gao Qiongyu was thinking?
Wasn’t it just that she felt that Hou Yuehai had more influence than him?
She would rather offend him than offend Hou Yuehai.
Gao Qiongyu said, “Director, don’t worry. I’ll help promote only this one time. The follow-up will definitely be mainly to promote our drama. I’ll cooperate well.”
Guo Qingchen still had to be magnanimous and say, “It’s fine. Don’t take it to heart.”
Li Hanfei also came over through the private chat. It was similar to what Gao Qiongyu had said.
However, the person who came to look for him was Liu Runlin.
It was the same reason for the two boys and two girls.
Guo Qingchen was extremely depressed.
“Director Guo.” Another message appeared in the group chat.
Guo Qingchen clicked on it to take a look. It was staff member C.
Guo Qingchen looked at her stammering expression and said in annoyance, “What’s up now?”
Staff member C: “Director, the singer Liu Jingshen has also posted on Weibo to promote ‘Broken Continent’.”
Guo Qingchen said impatiently, “It’s just Liu Jingshen. What’s The Big Deal!”
Liu Jingshen was famous and well-liked by pa.s.sersby, but no matter what, he was only an army of one.
Compared to the long list of actors, was Liu Jingshen worth mentioning?
Staff member C: “After Liu Jingshen posted on Weibo, the singers who are close to Liu Jingshen also posted on Weibo.”
The staff member posted another list and said, “This is what I just calculated.”
There were many popular singers among them.
Staff member D: “Director, it’s not just Liu Jingshen. Ji Jiayi also posted on Weibo, and so did his band members. Then, the entire rock circle, famous bands, and rock singers all posted on Weibo to promote “Broken Continent.”
Just Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi might not be a big deal.
But the two of them had contacted so many people, and the scale was terrifying!
“What does this have to do with Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi? !” Guo Qingchen was furious. He suddenly thought of a question and asked, “Who sang the OST of ‘Broken Continent’?”
“A singer called Tan Jinsheng. He’s not famous. I’ve never heard of him before,” said staff C.
Guo Qingchen thought that it couldn’t be because one of them had sung the theme song or interlude of ‘Broken Continent’.
Staff D: “Lu Xiangchen also posted on Weibo to promote! There are also hosts Li Zengliang, Luo Haifeng, Zhang Tao, He Ran, Lu Xuexin, artists…”
Staff D sent out a long list of names. “There are also singers…”
Guo Qingchen took a look and realized that this wave of singers had added to the two groups of people that hadn’t been involved with Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi.
After Lu Xiangchen posted on Weibo to promote the drama, these singers, hosts, and comedians posted on Weibo.
It was obvious that they were Lu Xiangchen’s connections.
Apart from the hosts and the other artists, just the singers alone were enough for Lu Xiangchen to call out the most popular singers in the Chinese music industry.
Each of these people had an extremely large fan base. Although not all of their fans would go to watch “Broken Continent,” since their own family had recommended it, they would still go and learn about it.
Learning about it was a good start. If they liked it, it would increase the number of viewers.
Lu Xiangchen, who rarely posted a Weibo post and relied on his fans to support himself, had posted a Weibo post today, even if it was just for the promotion of “Broken Continent”, it made his fans so excited that the number of comments, forwards, and likes instantly increased.
Thus, there was a single hot search for Lu Xiangchen.
“Lu Xiangchen has updated his blog. ”
Heavenly King Lu updated his blog. Even if one was not a pure fan, pa.s.sersby still liked to listen to his songs, so they clicked on it to watch.
With a glance, it was Lu Xiangchen’s promotion for “Broken Continent”.
“Lu Xiangchen, who hasn’t updated his blog in 10,000 years, actually came to promote it? Let me take a look.”
“When will it be broadcast? I’ll go and follow it.”
“Is there an interlude of Lu Xiangchen’s singing?”
“My babe, Chen has finally changed for the better. Even if it’s just publicity, I’m still touched.”
Guo Qingchen felt his blood pressure rising.
Staff F said nervously again, “Director, painter He Haoyan, writer Ji Qinghe has just posted on Weibo to promote ‘Broken Continent’, and also the painter…”
Staff F then mentioned many painters and famous writers.
These painters and writers also had a lot of fans.
Especially writers, the fans of books were crazy about their authors.
Many writers’ works had been made into TV series and movies, so the writers who were more behind-the-scenes were also well-known.
But Guo Qingchen couldn’t hear these words clearly.
As soon as he heard the words “Ji Qinghe”, his brain gradually slowed down.
“Ji Qinghe?” Guo Qingchen took a deep breath and asked with a trembling voice, “Is it that Ji Qinghe who won the n.o.bel Prize in Literature?”
“It’s… It’s him…” the staff replied.
“How come even Ji Qinghe is involved!” Guo Qingchen was so angry that her fingers were trembling. She searched for Ji Qinghe’s homepage on Weibo and clicked on it.
She saw that Ji Qinghe’s Weibo posts were all about random thoughts and life stories.
He had never posted any advertis.e.m.e.nts, let alone any program promotions.
However, such a big shot was actually promoting Broken Continent!
Moreover, it wasn’t just publicity.
Ji Qinghe’s Weibo post actually had a photo attached.
It was the cover of the script for “Broken Continent.”.
Ji Qinghe expressed that he was reading it.
That was a n.o.bel Prize winner in literature!
Such a great writer was reading the script for a mythology drama like “Broken Continent”?
“Are you kidding me?”
The key point was how did he find a way to pa.s.s the script to Ji Qinghe.
He really let Ji Qinghe read it!
He was a great writer. Shouldn’t he be too busy for this?
With Ji Qinghe’s play, “Broken Continent” instantly made the top searches again.
“Ji Qinghe watches Broken Continent.”
Those who didn’t know better would have thought that Broken Continent had already aired.
