After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 122 Big Star Sells Out! Dual Card Upgrade
……

Today, the superstar producer Wu Quanming finally experienced what it means to have great ups and downs.

First, a big star went online and became a hit, which made him feel ecstatic as if he had become rich overnight and had received a windfall. However, before he could enjoy this overwhelming wealth for long, he was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water on his head.

The perfunctory reasons and vague hints given by the platform made him terrified. He then tried to find connections everywhere and begged for help, but all he got was various excuses, which made him feel a chill seeping into his bones.

In just half an hour, he felt what despair was.

It was clearly a winning situation, but it encountered this black swan event.

It would be better if the data was dismal at the beginning. That way, even if the game was banned, he wouldn't be as upset and heartbroken as he is now.

Just when he was feeling the chill of the darkest hour, a mysterious phone call came in, saying that they would help him to get the film transferred to Station A for playback. The other party's tone was gentle and steady, but Wu Quanming could feel the confidence and sense of unquestionableness in it.

Even when Wu Quanming carefully brought up their contract with Y Station, the other party just said nonchalantly that it was unnecessary to pay attention.

Things have come to this.

Wu Quanming also made up his mind and decided to fight.

This Big Star is the hard work of the entire creative team and also the hope of his future life. Besides, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Y Station, which took it off the shelves without any mercy.

Especially since it was taken down one hour after it was put on the shelves, it was simply a deliberate trick on them.

At worst, I can just file a lawsuit against Station Y.

Although Wu Quanming is a small figure, he is not a man without any courage.

After he had a phone conversation with Zhang Qing, he immediately agreed to the mysterious man's proposal and soon got in touch with the people from Station A.

What scared Wu Quanming was that the contact person sent by Station A turned out to be a powerful vice president with a high status in the industry, and also a big boss in charge of content procurement.

You know, with Wu Quanming's status and position, it is basically impossible for him to be personally received by such a big boss. What's more, the other party's attitude is very friendly, which makes him feel very comfortable. At the same time, he gave the green light and directly promised to increase the share ratio and increase publicity efforts.

This made Wu Quanming feel like he was hit by a pie in the sky, which was even more satisfying than winning five million!

After all, given the quality of this movie by Big Star, if Station A is willing to invest a lot of resources in promoting it, the value of the profits generated will be far more than five million.

With the couple in love, Wu Quanming and Station A quickly signed an electronic contract, and the other party was ready to put the product on the shelves immediately while the popularity was high.
And at the same time.

The news about big stars being taken off the shelves for ridiculous reasons spread more and more widely on the Internet, and the disturbance became more and more serious.

The fact that this matter can continue to ferment is of course inseparable from the contributions of some behind-the-scenes promoters. After all, Y Station is not the only one in the video industry, and it has several powerful competitors.

And those competitors, naturally, would not miss this opportunity. Many big Vs came out and made various comments on the matter, pointing directly at the chaotic internal management system of Y Station. Some managers relied on the little power in their hands to do whatever they wanted.

Some people even came forward to say that they were victims of the internal chaos at Y Station and produced concrete evidence.

For a time, the reputation of Y Station was greatly damaged, and the official Weibo account had to come out to "explain", saying that the removal of the big star's film was a misunderstanding, and that the staff misunderstood the instructions of the leader and took the initiative to remove the film.

The staff member was a new employee who had just joined the company and was still in the internship period.

At the same time, the official Weibo account of Y Station also stated that they are very sorry for the various losses caused to the Big Star creative team. They are now actively communicating with the Big Star distributor to strive to regain the listing authorization, and have prepared a large amount of promotional resources for Big Star promotion.

However, not long after the official Weibo post of Y Station came out, the official Weibo post of "Big Star" issued a statement, saying that they were shocked and uncomfortable that Big Star was removed from the shelves without reason. They have now reached a cooperation agreement with A Station, and in thirty minutes, Big Star will be put back on the shelves on A Station.

As soon as the news came out from the official Weibo account of the big star, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.

This kind of operation is rare. I remember the last time this happened was the time before.

This immediately sparked a heated discussion. Some people said that it was well done. Y Station should not be allowed to do whatever it wants, putting products on the shelves when it wants and taking them down when it wants. Let Y Station regret it.

Some people also said that this would completely offend Y Station. Not to mention the possible copyright disputes, will Y Station settle the score in the future?

Some people also expressed sarcastically that they felt this was a deliberate hype conspiracy and that Station A was deliberately targeting Station Y.

But this comment was quickly attacked. Who the hell could have foreseen that Y Station would remove the film? Could it be that Y Station’s removal of the film was not due to its own stupidity, but was an Infernal Affairs conspiracy by A Station?
As different arguments continued, the popularity of the big star soared again. Many passers-by who were attracted by the popularity and various reposts were also aroused with curiosity and expressed their desire to go to Station A to watch the movie later.

Let's see what kind of masterpiece it is that attracts so much attention.

And these messages.

This also caused a stir within Y Station. Many people in the internal work group were discussing this matter. Many middle-level managers who were unaware of the situation felt angry and humiliated, and made fierce remarks in the group.

The crew of a mere online drama with a scale of several million dared to backstab Y Station?
The official Weibo account of Y Station apologized to them and said that they would try their best to put the product back on the shelves as soon as possible.

What else do they want to do, rebel?
The original intention of these middle-level managers' complaints was to show their loyalty and to express that they and Station Y share the same hatred of the enemy and the same honor and disgrace. However, they never expected that after just sending a few messages, they received private warnings from their respective superiors.

Soon, all work groups within Station Y also fell silent.

Simultaneously.

The big boss of Y station was holding a video conference with some senior executives. His face was ashen and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

He received two calls today, both from higher authorities.

The first call was okay, after all, he was not a small figure and the higher-ups were familiar with him.

Therefore, the superior leader just made a vague mention, indicating that a very high-level leader was paying attention to the matter, and asked the big boss of Y station to handle the matter properly and try to appease the big star crew.

This made the big boss of Y station realize instantly that there was a hidden boss in the big star crew who was not easy to mess with.

In this situation, although he was angry at Liu Zhengwei's behavior, he would not lose his composure. At most, he would have a good talk with the big star crew, appease them, give them more share of the profits, and promotional resources as compensation.

Even if the other party expresses their unwillingness to put the video on the shelves again and goes to other video sites to put it on the shelves, we can just turn a blind eye.

But what the big boss of Y station never expected was that only ten minutes later, he received a second call from his superior. This time the call was not so friendly and secretive, and he started by scolding him!

Even before hanging up the phone, my superior scolded me and said, "If you don't handle this matter well, you'll be in trouble."

The big boss was stunned by the scolding.

But he has been the big boss for a long time, so his sense of smell is very sharp and he immediately caught the abnormal signal.

There must be two different groups of people working behind the scenes. The former is very powerful and can directly influence the superior leader, asking him to deal with the matter immediately.

But the next wave...

That's a bit outrageous.

He could clearly feel his superior's fear, which was why he yelled and vented to him on the phone. After feeling this pressure, he immediately called Liu Zhengwei and transferred the pressure and emotions to him.

But the subsequent developments made him somewhat panic.

Because when he called Liu Zhengwei, he found that the other party's phone was no longer connected. When he called his superior again, the other party just replied coldly, "Take care of yourself," and ignored him.

All the signs indicate that this is no longer a simple matter of hitting a wall.

This is like kicking a powder keg, kicking a bomb. If it is not handled properly, you may be in big trouble.

therefore.

When the boss of Y station was having a video conference with his high-level subordinates, not only did he look extremely ugly, he also smoked one cigarette after another: "Have Liu Zhengwei and Zhao San been in contact?"

"Boss, not yet." A senior executive kept making phone calls and contacting other people, his face was also very ugly, "I also asked some people, but there is no news about them."

"Boss, I found out the hotel Mr. Liu was staying at, but when I called, I found out that the entire hotel was sealed off." Another senior executive said timidly, "But I found out through inquiries that before Lao Liu and Zhao San lost contact, there were armed helicopters and special agents, saying it was an emergency anti-terrorism exercise..."

military helicopter?
Secret Service?

Emergency anti-terrorism drill?
As soon as these key words came out, the high-level video conference fell silent.

Everyone felt a chill running down their spine.

This is not a matter of hitting a wall at all.

Even if we want to capture Liu Zhengwei and Zhao San, is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?
Obviously not.

If the other party makes such a fuss, there are only two possibilities.

First, it’s for them to see.

Second, it is done for the person they have offended to see.

They were not stupid and understood the implied meaning after a little thought.

The big boss of Y station fell into deep silence.

After a moment, he took a deep puff and smoked a third of his cigarette. His voice was trembling and hoarse. "Don't worry about Liu Zhengwei and Zhao San for now. Contact the Big Star crew immediately and ask them to put it back on Y Station. Even if it's not the exclusive broadcast, we must put it on the shelves."

"Also, try to find out who we have offended indirectly."

"Boss, that person must be a key creative member of the crew. After we find out, should we contact him and ask him to show some mercy?"

"No need." The big boss said hurriedly, "Don't have any contact with the other party. Let me handle this matter personally."

After the arrangements were made, everyone started to take action.

Wu Quanming, who received a call from the senior management of Y Station again, was also in a panic. He did not expect the senior management of Y Station to be so polite, and their tone even seemed to be begging him to put his products on the shelves of Y Station.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Quanming would not dare to offend the top management of Y Station and would certainly obey without hesitation. But now he did not dare to act on his own and had to contact the mysterious middleman again.

After hearing Wu Quanming's description, the mysterious man was silent for a while. He also felt that the reaction of Y Station seemed a bit exaggerated. After thinking for a while, he said, "Ignore them for now and leave it alone."

After dealing with this matter.

The mysterious man also made a phone call.

Sheng Laodeng, who was competing with Tiger Pioneer, heard the phone ringing. He gave it a quick and decisive blow, then angrily threw away the handle and answered the call.

The other party asked directly: "Lao Sheng, who did you call?"

"Ah this..."

Sheng Laodeng was a little confused.

After a while, he hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

There was something wrong with the reaction of Y Station. It seemed that they were too submissive and seemed to be very scared.

Although the person he found has great power, he is not the other party's direct supervisor after all. He can make the other party submit, but will not make the other party panic.

But soon.

Sheng Laodeng received another important call. The voice on the other end was very steady: "The superior of Y Station called and wanted to plead for Y Station..."

After the two of them communicated for a few more words, Sheng Laodeng fell into silence. He always felt that there was something weird and incomprehensible about this matter. After a moment, he picked up his phone and found his wife.

At this moment, Mother Sheng was sitting on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, watching TV while constantly switching between several groups to talk. She also had to switch to the V-blog interface from time to time to leave a message, and she was very busy.

"Baby." Sheng Laodeng came forward, held her shoulders and said, "What are you busy with?"

"Command my 19th Regiment to launch the second wave of publicity offensive based on the private traffic pools, and at the same time snipe and encircle small invading enemy forces." Mother Sheng replied without even raising her head.

"What?"

Sheng Laodeng was completely dumbfounded, he didn't understand anything at all.

While he was thinking, he looked up inadvertently and saw that "My Apprentice is a Big Star" was playing on the TV terminal of Station A. The movie had just started.

Then, Sheng Laodeng saw the protagonist’s father, Wang Baofu, played by Sheng Yixia.

Sheng Laodeng's eyes widened instantly: "This, this, this...how come this shape and image are so similar to me?"

Mother Sheng finally looked up, glanced at the TV, and then at her husband, then turned her attention back to her phone: "Isn't this nonsense? The image of the father of the protagonist played by your son, who else can he look like if not you? However, my son is more handsome than you, after all, he has my good genes."

"Yes, yes, your son is the most handsome." Mr. Sheng immediately became interested. He sat down next to his wife and watched the online movie with great interest. He completely forgot that he wanted to ask his wife what else his son did outside besides acting.
He even secretly suspected that after his son broke up with the girl from the art school, he might have hooked up with some wealthy woman with great power and background.

However, as he watched, Sheng Laodeng had completely forgotten his purpose. He was immersed in the plot. As a rich second-generation, he naturally had dreams when he was young, but for the sake of his family business, he had to give up his dreams.

When Wang Baofu was reminded of his past dreams, he seemed to be involved in the story. As the plot progressed, especially when he reawakened and ignited the hero's dream through singing and playing on the rooftop, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Okay, I want to chase my dream too!"

"What did you say?" Mother Sheng looked at him sideways, her delicate and charming face full of suspicion, "What is your dream? Are you taking this opportunity to have a second spring?"

Mr. Sheng suddenly shuddered, his blood boiling, and he sobered up instantly. He quickly hugged Mrs. Sheng's shoulders and said affectionately, "My dear wife, you are my biggest dream. With you by my side, I, Sheng Deming, have no regrets in my life."

"That's more like it." Mother Sheng nodded in satisfaction, picked up her cell phone and prepared to continue directing the operation, but Sheng Laodeng hugged her and started to make moves on her.

Five seconds later.

Sheng Laodeng was kicked off the sofa, his face full of gloom. "Just watch your son's movie, and when I finish this battle, I'll wear something nice to show you." Sheng's mother glared at him coquettishly, then quickly picked up her phone and began to arrange the troops and command Fang Jue.

"Then can I choose by myself?" Sheng Laodeng revived with full health and climbed up.

"You performed well today, yes."

Sheng Laodeng immediately ran away, and then quickly came back happily, holding a set of JK mini-short clothes in his hand, smiling somewhat lewdly.

But the next second, the sofa pillow flew over.

"Good of you, Sheng Deming. I knew you were going to use me to reminisce about our high school days, right?"

"Tell me the truth, do you have a girl you like in school, just like in the movies about big stars?"

"Is that your dream?"

"Ouch, ouch, I'm dying, my old bones are falling apart~"

*****
In an office building in H City.

Wu Quanming, who has not been home, stared at the video background of Station A on the monitor with bloodshot eyes. He refreshed it from time to time to see the latest playback volume and average viewing time, and the data is constantly rising~
Judging from the data, he is about to become rich.

It’s no wonder that the public opinion about big stars is extremely hot now. As soon as they were launched on Station A, a large amount of resources were given for promotion on mobile phones, computers, TVs, and Apple terminals. Especially on TV, they were directly promoted on the opening screen.

This kind of treatment used to only be available when blockbuster movies with billions of dollars in box office came to video sites.

With such resource promotion, the data of the big star on Station A seemed to soar more dramatically than that on Station Y, but this time, he did not feel as excited as the first time, as if he was floating in the sky.

Although he looks excited on the outside, he is calm as water on the inside.

He knew that all this was far from his own credit.

There must be an invisible big hand behind this, turning the tide and bringing him back to life.

He knew very well that it was impossible for Wu Quanming to have such face, let alone such value.

In the final analysis, Wu Quanming only achieved some success after graduating from school and working at a certain station until middle age. These achievements are only slightly better than those of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the big guys, they are nothing.

So, who is all this for?

The faces of the main creative team members flashed through his mind one by one.

screenwriter?

Are you kidding? I've known that guy for a long time. He looks like a typical middle-aged screenwriter and is still paying off his mortgage. How can he look like he has any background?

director?

That's even more of a joke. This director is less than 30 years old, but he already has a big beard and a weathered face. Although he has some artistic cells and talents, he looks poor at heart and has no appearance of being a noble person.

A noble person?
correct.

A full summer.

When Wu Quanming met Sheng Yixia for the first time, he felt that he exuded a sense of calm and relaxation from the bottom of his heart. He was very polite and well-educated in dealing with people, very friendly, yet reserved and slightly distant.

He used to be a director and producer of a famous satellite TV variety show. He had met many young stars. They were also trained by the company to appear polite and well-educated, but they all seemed fake at first glance and were just pretending.

Once you are in private and no one is around, your true colors will be revealed.

But Sheng Yixia is different. His sunshine, politeness and good manners seem to come from the bottom of his heart. It's his nature. Coupled with that inexplicable sense of relaxation, it shows that his family conditions are very good and he has not been burdened by the burden of life at all.

An ordinary family cannot cultivate such a temperament.

Could it really be Teacher Yixia?

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to verify it and sent a message to the mysterious man: "Is this all for Teacher Sheng?"

Ten seconds later.

The mysterious man, whose name was unknown, replied: “Yes.”

This simple "yes" made Wu Quanming completely relax. What people fear most is facing the fear of the unknown. Even if it is a delicious pie, who knows if there will be a deadly hook hidden in it?
Are there not many such things in the circle? He has seen several of them, so he has to be on guard.

But if all of this was done by Teacher Yixia's family on his behalf, then there would be no danger.

He tremblingly lit a cigarette, and after he finished smoking, he sent another message to the mysterious man: "Thank you, and thank Mr. Sheng's family for me. Next, I know what to do."

However, this time the other party did not reply.

But Wu Quanming's mind became clearer, and he called Zhang Qing directly, saying politely, "Teacher Zhang Qing, I want to talk to you about Teacher Yixia's publicity expenses and publicity dividends."

Sheng Yixia did not invest in this film. Theoretically, in addition to the salary he had already paid, he only needed to give Sheng Yixia a 2% dividend according to the contract.

But he knew that this money would be very hot in his hands.

If Sheng Yixia's family hadn't intervened, not only would the film have failed, but its future revenue would have definitely been greatly discounted.

How much is a favor from someone saying hello worth?

In fact, this kind of favor cannot be bought with money.

If Wu Quanming took it, regardless of the consequences, he would basically cut off the chance of working with Sheng Yixia in the future. But now, Sheng Yixia has the potential to soar to the sky, and with a powerful backing, his future is limitless!
If he didn't take such a good opportunity to curry favor with someone, God would probably be so angry that he would send down a bolt of lightning to kill him.

Zhang Qing was also a smart person. After hearing Wu Quanming's tone and adding the things that happened today, she roughly deduced the situation and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will take over and make the decision for Yixia. The personal publicity fees and dividends will be directly signed with Yixia's Shengxia Film and Television Studio, and the bill will be transferred to them."

Wu Quanming didn't dare to take the money, so she naturally didn't dare to have a share of it.

Besides, the price of food is rising in the summer. Even if she, as an agent, gets a share of the film remuneration, it is enough to make a lot of money. Other people's families earn money through their own skills and connections, so why should she, as an agent, get a share for free?
It can be said that Sheng Laodeng's casual move not only shocked Wu Quanming, but also indirectly shocked Zhang Qing.

Afterwards, Wu Quanming and Zhang Qing, two experienced people who had worked their way up the industry, quickly negotiated a reasonable publicity and promotion fee, as well as a profit-sharing agreement after making a profit.

As for the investor, Wu Quanming didn't pay much attention to him. Apart from a little money, the other party had no influence at all and could not help at all if something went wrong. This was probably the last time to let the other party get on board.

Judging from Wu Quanming's results in this battle, future investors can make careful choices, and it is not enough to just have money.

however.

Sheng Yixia never paid any attention to all this.

After he had told the fortune and found it was a good omen, he paid no more attention to it and focused all his attention on the study and discussion process, especially on the fact that he and Rei Ayanami got along best.

In his opinion, Rei Ayanami's IQ should be very high. Even though she is old, her memory is still very outstanding. When chatting with him, the other party often knows what he is going to say as soon as he opens his mouth.

Amidst the lively discussions and friendly greetings between the two sides, the AI ​​framework structure of the drone tower combat plan was finally finalized. In fact, this kind of AI is much easier than bionic humans because it does not require language communication or even anthropomorphic emotional communication.

After solving this problem.

Sheng Yixia stretched comfortably and stood up to go to the bathroom.

But at this moment.

A system prompt sounded in my mind.

"Congratulations to the host for playing the character [Wang Baofu]. The character's popularity has increased, and the character's recognition has increased. The quality of the skill card [Singing Skills] has been upgraded to [Blue Excellent], and the entry [Shock] has been obtained."

Has the singing card been upgraded?

Sheng Yixia's face lit up slightly. Did the crisis of the product being removed from the shelves be resolved, and was it upgraded after the product was put back on the shelves and sold out?
Generally speaking, it is very easy to upgrade a card to green, but it is quite demanding to upgrade it to blue. You know, his Divine Mind Card is only blue quality now, and it makes him shed tears just thinking about it.

"Check the singing card entry."

Sheng Yixia muttered to herself.

[①, Encouragement, Being the Host...]

[②, Shock. When the host sings, it can convey pressure and shock, eliminate and reduce the enemy's courage and morale, and even make the enemy hesitate and fear to flee.]

Today's singing card has two entries, one is encouragement and the other is shock, and the functions of the entries are very simple and clear.

Especially the shock...

This reminded Sheng Yixia of the story of Zhang Fei who drove back an army of 800,000 at Changbanpo and even scared an enemy general to death.

This is probably what the term "deterrence" means.

There should be quite a few application scenarios.

To be specific, I'm afraid I'll have to find a subject to test it on before I can know to what extent the effect of this entry can be achieved.

While thinking, Sheng Yixia started going to the bathroom again.

When he came out of the bathroom, the system prompt sounded in his mind again.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for playing the role of [Wang Ningxi]. The popularity of the role has increased, and the recognition of the role has increased. The quality of the talent card [Natural Singer] has been upgraded to [Blue Excellent], and the entry [Emotional Control] has been obtained."

The two cards were upgraded almost at the same time, which naturally made Sheng Yixia very happy.

"Check the entry for [Natural Born Singer]."

Sheng Yixia muttered to herself.

【①, the sound of nature, ……】

[②, Emotional control, the host has an excellent talent as a singer, can easily control various emotions, and convey them to the audience through singing, infecting and affecting the emotions of the audience. ]

This blue entry sounds a little simple.

However, Sheng Yixia knew that any card with a blue entry would definitely not be simple, and this entry combined with singing skills would definitely inspire or shock, creating an effect where the sum of one is greater than the other.

After all, excitement and fear are also emotions.
For a moment, Sheng Yixia felt itchy and wanted to find something to try out the two newly upgraded cards.

Then, he glanced at "Sheng Yingjun" who was sleeping in a ball on the sofa, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But the next moment, Sheng Yingjun's ears moved, and he suddenly jumped up with extremely quick reaction. Then he trotted over, rubbed around Sheng Yixia's legs and neck, and made a pleasant meow.

Damn it.

Is this guy so sensitive to danger now?
Forget it, let you go~

Sheng Yixia was about to check her friends circle to see what her rebellious son Wang Jianfeng was busy with.

suddenly.

His cell phone rang.

Sheng Yixia picked up the phone and saw that it was her husband calling.

A call from Lao Deng?

This is strange...

Just plug it in.

"Dad." Sheng Yixia almost shouted out the word "Deng", but fortunately he took it back in time.

When I was about to say something.

The miserable voice of Lao Deng came from the other end of the phone: "Son, help me, your mother beat me and kicked me out of the house."

"..."

Sheng Yixia was silent for a few seconds, then said helplessly, "Are you messing around?"

"God knows!" Sheng Laodeng said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "I love your mother wholeheartedly, how could I do anything to let her down?"

Afterwards, Sheng Yixia asked what exactly happened.

How can I help if you don’t explain clearly?
As a result, when he asked this, Sheng Laodeng on the other end of the phone suddenly became shy and stammered, "I took advantage of her happiness and took out my treasured JK clothes..."

I go!

Sheng Yixia felt numb all over.

I was complaining in my heart.

You two old couple are having so much fun while I, the third party, am not at home~!
