Chapter 115: The One Billion Star-Making Project
"Take things out of context? Haha... that's our favorite game in this business."
Of course, this is the internal monologue of those in the media, and they would never be foolish enough to say it out loud in public.
In response to Sun Dacheng's question, they replied like this.
"If there's a problem, we'll take it down and apologize, you can rest assured."
Good grief.
What a solution! If there's a problem, just take it down and apologize. How is that any different from parents merely giving a light verbal reprimand when a child bullies a classmate at school?
Self-imposed penalty of three drinks?
"Earlier, you all were raising a ruckus, and before I could finish my words, people were already nitpicking what I said. I have to say again, please have some patience. The society is already so restless, and as media professionals, you have a responsibility and duty to better guide the public opinion and climate of our society."
Sun Dacheng rambled on a lot without getting to the point.
This made the media people below roll their eyes: Speaking of guiding public opinion and setting trends, you seem more capable than us.
Seeing the media people below getting agitated, almost ready to eat him alive, Sun Dacheng felt secretly pleased.
Everything before was intentional, and the media people below cooperated perfectly, exceeding his expectations.
As for the purpose, of course, it was for hype and traffic.
In this day and age, nothing sells like hype.
Even if it's gold, you have to give it traffic; without traffic and hype, gold is as good as dirt.
He did all this, of course, for better promotion.
Promoting both the new stars the company is preparing to launch and the company's own brand awareness.
After all, moving forward honestly, there are too many big companies blocking the path like towering mountains.
He can only resort to this self-destructive promotional tactic that sacrifices eight hundred to kill a thousand enemies.
[Stop wasting your breath, get to the point already]
[Damn it, if you keep rambling, it'll be dark before you're done]
[Right, hurry up and tell us where the ten billion came from, we're not interested in your company's lousy plans.]
...
Seeing the increasing agitation below.
Sun Dacheng got back to the point: "The friends below are very anxious, but please don't worry.
The next part is important, so make sure you take good notes, don't let others snatch the headline away from you."
[Stop blabbering already, just tell us. Your dithering rivals the director of 'I Am a Singer,' it's a waste not to have you direct at the Toilet Channel]
"Since everyone is so concerned, I will tell you."
After a brief pause, as everyone held their breath, he added: "Have you all prepared your recording equipment?"
[Damn, I can't stand it anymore, who'll go up and punch him for me, I'll pay]
This got widespread approval from the crowd.
Of course, it was just approval; no one would be foolish enough to actually assault him.
With so many media phones below watching closely, if you went up and punched him, you wouldn't have to wait until tomorrow; you'd be the brightest celebrity on the internet today.
"All set? Then I'll really start talking."
Sun Dacheng's sly demeanor made Sun Dasheng, who was watching the spectacle from the stage, twitch his mouth.
He never expected that the 'Sleeping Dragon' he recruited to the rescue back then would grow to this level.
Truly... he's quite the annoying one, even making Sun Dasheng struggle to suppress the urge to hit him.
You could see how exceptional this 'Sleeping Dragon' was at drawing hatred.
At least three or four stories high.
Seeing the below crowd with eyes glowing red, Sun Dacheng shivered as he knew if he stalled any longer, there might actually be a personal threat, so he stopped dawdling.
"We at Star Point Media may not have such great prowess, but don't forget, our company has a parent company above us. If a child needs pocket money, they naturally ask their parents for it, don't you think?"
This analogy is quite amusing really.
But who knew that Star Point Media had a powerful parent company above it?
[Which company do you belong to? Enlight Media? Bona Film Group? Or...]
The people below became immediately intrigued, starting to guess the parent company behind this work-in-progress.
They wanted to figure out what kind of backer was willing to place such a big bet on this obscure little company.
"None of those, don't guess wildly, I'm afraid our chairman might get jealous.
I'll just tell you, our parent company is Nokai Capital, a well-known investment company.
You might not be familiar with the name, but it's okay, just a few taps of your fingers will get you the company's information."
The crowd started looking it up.
[Damn! It's indeed a big capital investment company, with registered capital of fifty billion.]
[Registered capital is nothing impressive, many great companies are still small businesses, better look at what projects they've invested in.]
[True, wow! Look, they've invested in quite a few projects, from tens of millions to over a billion, their latest deal was buying a commercial building for tens of billions, this company definitely has money]
Seeing the crowd's bustling discussion and amazement.
Sun Dacheng knew today's grand opening show was a success.
He went on about some lofty goals and prospects.
Then let a few of the 'new stars' that the company was preparing to heavily promote speak.
The most striking among them, of course, was the once immensely popular 90s starlet, Guli Nazha.
[Nazha, may I ask why you decided to join a relatively unknown company?]
