The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Magic City.

The rising sun shines obliquely on the top floor of Aoki Entertainment headquarters.

Chairman Shen Bowen, wearing a gray suit, sat in front of a large mahogany desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop. His eyes, looking at the computer screen, revealed a sharp feeling.

On the mahogany desk is the promotional plan for the movie "Labyrinth of Desire". On the cover of the plan, the cool and sexy poster of Xu Lan, who plays the heroine, is particularly eye-catching.

At present, the focus of the promotion and publicity of the movie "Labyrinth of Desire" falls on Xu Lan.

It can be said that Xu Lan is now the traffic bomb created by Qingmu Entertainment with huge investment.

The effect is also very good. The current popularity of the movie "Labyrinth of Desire" is much higher than that of all the previous movies produced by Aoki Entertainment during the promotion and marketing stage.

However, after seeing the tweets on Weibo about the tickets for the "Dying to Survive" fan event being sold out, Shen Bowen's mood inexplicably sank again.

"Dying to Survive" and "Squid Game" are like two unshakable mountains, covering up the glory that originally belonged to Shen Bowen to a large extent.

Just as Shen Bowen was thinking about the problem, the office door was gently pushed open and a slim figure walked in.

The person who came was naturally Shen Bowen's assistant Zhu Qiuqing, who had an oval face with quite delicate features, her eyes and eyebrows revealed a charming look, and her red lips were full, as if water would drip out if she sipped them lightly.

She was wearing a tight black business suit, her waist was as slender as a willow, her figure was curvy, and her graceful curves were faintly visible under the light.

Zhu Qiuqing held a mobile phone in her hand and wore 5cm black high heels with red soles. Although her steps were steady, her face was a little panicked and her voice was trembling:

"Boss Shen, something terrible has happened!"

Shen Bowen frowned and said in a cold voice, "What's going on with you? If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't be so surprised."

Zhu Qiuqing took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and said with gritted teeth: "Xu Lan...she plans to attend the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive".

"what?!"

Shen Bowen's hand trembled, and the pen between his fingers fell on the table with a "bang".

He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened: "Xu Lan wants to go to Bai Xingjian's place? Is this woman really that bold?"

Zhu Qiuqing also handed his mobile phone to Shen Bowen at this time.

The content displayed on the phone was the news sent by Xu Lan's assistant He Xilin about Xu Lan's participation in the "Dying to Survive" fan event.

After reading the news, Shen Bowen's face gradually turned pale, and his finger joints began to crack.

Shen Bowen, who was really feeling a little angry, slammed the table again, almost making the teacups on the table jump up, and only then did his anger ease a little.

"Fuck you, Xu Lan, you're such a good guy. I spent so much money on your promotion this time, but you actually plan to go to Bai Xingjian's place to help him carry the sedan chair?"

Shen Bowen said angrily: "Is it because I've praised you too much recently that you have some illusions?"

Zhu Qiuqing, who was standing aside, parted her red lips slightly, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

It was the first time she saw Shen Bowen lose his composure like this.

However, Zhu Qiuqing's long legs were still standing firmly, and her curves under the professional attire looked quite attractive.

She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Director Shen, is Xu Lan doing this to take advantage of the popularity of 'Dying to Survive'? After all, the popularity of 'Dying to Survive' and 'Squid Game' is extremely high right now!"

"Catch the heat?"

Shen Bowen sneered and looked up at Zhu Qiuqing, his sharp eyes sweeping over the beautiful face and curvy figure.

If it were in the past, Shen Bowen would definitely be in high spirits and organize some special activities in the office.

But now, he didn't feel like that at all.

"Go call Zhang Hongtao and Wang Yan to me." Shen Bowen said coldly, and began to pace around the office.

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

Zhu Qiuqing nodded quickly, opened her red lips and said something.

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, twisting her waist and her high heels creating a crisp rhythm.

Looking at her leaving back, Shen Bowen cursed inwardly.

When Zhu Qiuqing heard his voice, he danced even more happily.

Not long after, Zhang Hongtao and Wang Yan rushed here and learned about the things related to Xu Lan.

Sitting on the sofa in the rest area, Zhang Hongtao, Wang Yan and Shen Bowen were silent for a while.

Obviously, they couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter for a while.

But soon, Zhang Hongtao suddenly had an idea and said:

"Director Shen, why don't we just take advantage of their trick? Doesn't Xu Lan want to attend the fan meeting for 'Dying to Survive'? Then let her go openly without having to disguise herself. And not only Xu Lan will go, we will also participate in the fan meeting."

At the end of his words, Zhang Hongtao spread his hands, with a hint of giving up:
"Since we were so sincere at the preview of Labyrinth of Desire, why not just be sincere now? We will bring along the main creators of Labyrinth of Desire and go directly to the fan meeting of Dying to Survive.

And if we do this, we might even be able to take advantage of the popularity of “Dying to Survive” and “Squid Game”! ”

After these words came out, Wang Yan and Shen Bowen were silent.

Even Zhu Qiuqing, who was standing aside, blinked his eyes, not knowing how to comment on what Zhang Hongtao said.

But in Zhu Qiuqing's heart, she felt that what Zhang Hongtao said made sense.

After the quiet atmosphere in the office lasted for a while, Wang Yan spoke first and commented:

"Hong Tao's idea is good. I think we can give it a try. In terms of popularity, our "Labyrinth of Desire" cannot be compared with "Dying to Survive" and "Squid Game". If we really attend the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive", apart from the fact that it is a bit embarrassing, the benefits to us will probably be quite large."

After he finished speaking, Wang Yan turned his gaze to Shen Bowen.

Shen Bowen nodded thoughtfully, and then, under the gaze of Zhang Hongtao and Wang Yan, he smiled and said, "That's indeed the truth. As for whether it's justifiable to save face, didn't we already put aside our face at the preview of Labyrinth of Desire?"

After hearing this, Zhang Hongtao and Wang Yan both breathed a sigh of relief.

They both thought Shen Bowen couldn't get over this hurdle.

Unexpectedly, Shen Bowen seems to be quite free and easy.

"But there is a bigger problem at the moment. Bai Xingjian hasn't sent us an invitation letter yet?"

Shen Bowen asked the most realistic question at the moment. "This is easy. We can just contact Bai Xingjian's staff directly."

Zhang Hongtao smiled and said, "Besides, Xu Lan was able to attend the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive". I guess she also received an invitation from Bai Xingjian. Otherwise, I don't believe that Xu Lan could have snatched those 255 tickets sold on Xinghuo Video with her ability."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

But soon, Wang Yan sighed and said, "But if we really go to the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive", then the public opinion environment about our Qingmu Entertainment on the Internet will probably be very ugly."

As he said this, Wang Yan looked at Shen Bowen.

What he is most worried about right now is perhaps Shen Bowen's mentality in a few days.

Zhang Hongtao also thought of this at this moment and set his eyes on Shen Bowen.

Shen Bowen waved his hand in a casual manner and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that. I'm not that fragile. Besides, we are doing this for the popularity of "Labyrinth of Desire". Once the popularity of "Labyrinth of Desire" is high, the box office will be guaranteed. If the box office is guaranteed, what's the problem with the public opinions on the Internet? We don't rely on those public opinions for a living, right?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Hongtao nodded heavily and glanced at Wang Yan with a smile: "It seems that Lao Wang and I are worrying too much."

……

"What? What did you say? The people from Aoki Entertainment want to attend the fan meeting for "Dying to Survive"?"

At Phoenix Pictures, Bai Xingjian, who was sitting at his desk, also learned the news from Mei Jie.

"Yes, Brother Xingjian, and Shen Bowen, the chairman of Qingmu Entertainment, will also be attending."

Mei Jie nodded and said with a smile: "If we agree to let them participate."

"What is their purpose in participating in 'Dying to Survive'? Is it to take advantage of our popularity?"

Feng Shiqi's clear and bright eyes flashed as she expressed her opinions.

"That's probably the case." Mei Jie nodded heavily.

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "Perhaps he was inspired by Xu Lan, otherwise the timing wouldn't be so coincidental."

"So, Jian, what do you think?"

Feng Shiqi looked straight at Bai Xingjian, "If you don't want them to come, just refuse directly. Anyway, we don't need to give Qingmu Entertainment any face."

Because of the past grievances between Bai Xingjian and Qingmu Entertainment, when sending out invitations for the "Dying to Survive" fan meeting, they deliberately did not send them to Qingmu Entertainment.

But now, the people from Aoki Entertainment actually took the initiative to ask for permission to attend the fan meeting for "Dying to Survive".

This was quite unexpected news for many people at Phoenix Pictures.

"It's already now, there's nothing I want to think about anymore."

Bai Xingjian smiled. He no longer had any feelings towards Qingmu Entertainment.

The past has long since faded away.

Moreover, considering the current size of Phoenix Pictures, Aoki Entertainment is really nothing.

"Then let the people from Qingmu Entertainment come. Anyway, there are quite a lot of people coming to the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive" this time."

Bai Xingjian said this very casually, as if he had thought of something, and continued to say to Mei Jie:
"By the way, in the future, when you invite us to some of our events, don't exclude Qingmu Entertainment. They invited us to their preview ceremony, so the scale of our Phoenix Pictures can't be so small, right?"

The reason why Bai Xingjian did not attend the preview of "Labyrinth of Desire" was not because he looked down on the movie, but because the journey was long and he was a bit busy, so he simply chose not to go.

"Ok."

Mei Jie smiled and nodded, "Then I'll arrange it now?"

Bai Xingjian said, "Hmm," and said, "Go ahead."

After Mei Jie left the office, Bai Xingjian asked Feng Shiqi again, "Sister Qi, what's the news about the Gulfstream G700?"

"I'm already contacting that dealer, and I guess it won't be long before I get a reply."

Last night Feng Shiqi sent the relevant information to the Gulfstream Chinese dealer. According to Feng Shiqi and others' requirements, the dealer would probably respond as soon as he saw the message.

Bai Xingjian smiled and nodded, his tone was full of hope: "I'm really looking forward to it!"

……

"Ah? What's going on here?"

In a luxury hotel in Shanghai, Xu Lan's assistant He Xilin was a little surprised after seeing the message sent to them by Qingmu Entertainment.

"Sister Xu Lan, Mr. Shen from Qingmu Entertainment actually invited us to attend the fan meeting of "Dying to Survive" with him!"

He Xilin informed Xu Lan of the news.

When Xu Lan heard the news for the first time, he was stunned.

After a long pause, she spoke up, "No, what's going on with Qingmu Entertainment? Do they want to bring the creative team of Labyrinth of Desire to the fan meeting of Dying to Survive? And Phoenix Pictures agreed? Isn't this too rare?"

in the country, there are also joint promotion activities for the two films.

However, it seems unheard of that Aoki Entertainment and Phoenix Pictures would jointly promote the film due to personal grudges.

He Xilin looked at Xu Lan with a strange expression, "Sister Xu Lan, do you think Qingmu Entertainment got inspiration from us?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Lan suddenly felt as if she had suddenly realized something. She shook her head and laughed, "This matter is really hard to evaluate!"

After complaining, Xu Lan changed the subject and said with a smile, "But this is also good. We don't have to hide the details when we go to the fan meeting for "Dying to Survive". Besides, I guess we can have fun at the meeting as we please."

After confirming that the main creative team of the movie "Labyrinth of Desire" would participate in the "Dying to Survive" meeting, Xu Lan felt relieved.

Her original purpose was to visit the IP amusement park of "Squid Game", but if she went alone, she would have to be secretive about everything she did, and her experience would definitely not be enjoyable.

But judging from the current situation, it’s completely different!

"Have Shen Bowen and his people come to their senses? If they were as smart as they are now, Bai Xingjian probably wouldn't have left Qingmu Entertainment."

Thinking of some rumors about Bai Xingjian and Qingmu Entertainment, Xu Lan couldn't help but laugh and complain.

"It can only be said that Qingmu Entertainment has grown now." He Xilin also said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
