Chapter 127 Ikeno is popular, S+ is played with by him like a toy

Ikeno's personal related hot searches and data on the Weibo, Hundred Finger, Celebrity Power Rankings and other lists are increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His previous story about #Goujian# was dug up again by major media accounts.

While the film was once again being criticized, the downgrade of resources for "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" inevitably became a hot topic.

The relevant investors of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" were bankrupt, just as Kuying expected.

"How many fucking hands can I protect?"

"Has he really eaten shit? How dare he say he is Gou Jian!"

"How could Kuying do this? We have a contract. Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow was given an S+ rating. How could they suddenly downgrade us?!"

Yuena never expected that, while it was still "reporting every hour" yesterday, just one day later, "Cycle" would become so popular.

What made them even more upset was that Kuying actually diverted all the resources of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" to "Loop"...

A+ was forcibly raised to S+ by Cool Shadow...

No, that's how it's played, right?!
The three main investors of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" are Yuena, Jinming's Chaotian Entertainment, and Kuying Platform.

Therefore, after being "backstabbed" by Kuying, Yuena Fang and Ji Heming were extremely angry and felt that Kuying was simply "unreasonable"!
"This is the platform. Kuying and our two investors are quite different. They are investors and also the platform."

It’s better that the person in charge of the Yuena Film and Television Department didn’t get carried away. The business world is like a battlefield, and profit comes first. Since your "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" is just a hype, don’t hinder the arrival of the real "S+".

But having said that, when Ji Heming heard the news, he couldn't help but tremble with anger.

——He hated Ikeno more than anyone could imagine.

——He looked down on Chi Ye more than anyone could imagine.

It was because of this person that his career was affected.

This summer, he didn't take Ikeno, the little Karami, seriously at first, but now you tell me that my S+ was directly "stolen" by "Loop"?
How is this possible? !
His career reputation had already been hit by the last list incident, so he was waiting for this wave of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" to make it back on track.

What Kuying did was equivalent to stabbing him in the back!

"Can't we fight for it? 'Loop' is just a marketing stunner. We signed a contract in black and white, and they just downgrade us?"

Ji Heming yelled into the phone, while Li Qian, who was putting on makeup and preparing to be interviewed by him on a program, looked calm on the other side.

The two had talked before.

But that was before.

After Ji Heming's selection of concubines was exposed, Li Qian realized that she had been cheated on.

So during the promotion of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow", she was actually in a bad mood.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone dislikes "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" - the off-site business is too stingy, and the male and female protagonists look unfamiliar with each other.

At this moment, "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" was about to fail, and she felt sad, but she also found it funny to see Ji Heming jumping around like a clown.

You deserve it. You really deserve it.

Those who like fragrant feet are better than those who like stinky feet!

"No, that won't work. Kuying is a platform, so they have the final say in resource allocation... Besides, we can't offend the three major platforms. We've already paid enough."

On the other end of the phone.

Ji Heming's agent looked worried.

"So we're just going to let The Cycle trample on us?"

Ji Heming was extremely angry.

"Not really..." The agent hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't there another investor? Have you contacted Mr. Jin? If the two of us put pressure together, I think we can still salvage the situation..."

"Mr. Jin? Are you talking about Chaotian Entertainment?"

Ji Heming was stunned. He was so angry after receiving the news that he actually forgot that there was another investor.

But this investor’s surname is Jin.

……

Jinming's surname is Jin, but he now wishes he had a different surname.

——He is a little dizzy now, he can’t believe it, he doesn’t want to believe it!
After learning that the resources of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" were downgraded and "Cycle" emerged as a sudden force, Jin Ming's first reaction was - it's over, it's this familiar feeling again, I'm going to lose money again!

My second reaction was - "Loop"? Isn't this the "flop" starring Ikeno?

Why did it explode?!
He didn't understand, didn't know, and even felt like he had been slapped in the face by Chi Ye...

Although, the two had only met once.

He called Kuying, equally furious, but maintaining his status, and asked calmly, "We've invested so much upfront, and all the resources are top-tier, and now you're telling me the project is being downgraded? What's the logic behind this?"

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for two seconds, but treated Jin Ming more politely than he treated Ji Heming. He simply replied, "Mr. Jin, did you also invest in "Deep Sea"? "

"Hmm? Indeed, I wonder what you are referring to? Why do you have such a question?"

Jin Ming didn't understand why the other party talked about "Deep Sea". Aren't they talking about "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" now?
"...Hmm...it seems you haven't seen it yet...We've been monitoring the popularity of our competitors' games on the site in real time. A minute ago, 'Loop' surpassed 'Deep Sea' in popularity."

"What? Surpassing 'Deep Sea'?!"

Jin Ming was stunned and stood there completely confused.

Among the three S+ movies in the summer season, except for "Waiting for the Monsoon Blows" which flopped at the opening, the remaining "Deep Sea" and "Dream of Xiyuan" are all worthy of the S+ investment.

Not to mention "Dream of Xiyuan", it has already shown signs of becoming a small hit.

Take "Deep Sea" for example. Although there were many criticisms on the plot as the series was aired, its popularity and topic level have remained high. Not long ago, it was far ahead of "Loop".

Just now, after hearing the "bad news" of "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow", he was still comforting himself in his heart... Fortunately, there is "Deep Sea".

The result is now...

You're telling me "Loop" has surpassed "Deep Sea"?
Doesn't that mean that the two S+ films he invested a lot of money in were all ruined by "Cycle"?
"How... could that be?!" He stopped arguing.

The deputy on the other end of the phone said tactfully, "Boss Jin, 'Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow' has been losing money to gain publicity. Now that you can recover the losses, why not do it?"

He paused, curious: "Also...with all due respect...um...people in the circle have always said that Jin Xia and Ikeno have a very good relationship...I don't quite understand. You could have invested in "Loop" before."

“…ca!”

When Jin Ming heard this, his heart suddenly felt blocked and he felt speechless.

He could feel that the person opposite him must be "laughing" at him!

I wanted to curse, but I couldn't say it. In the end, I only said "fuck" halfway and hung up the phone.

After a long pause, he finally picked up his phone and called the person in charge of monitoring popularity at the company: "'Deep Sea' has been surpassed in popularity by 'Loop'! How did you monitor it? What? You didn't even know this?! Just a minute ago!"

……

"Deep Sea" is a super production with the participation of two top-tier stars and veteran actors.

Just look at the investment and you will know that it starts with S+3 million, and "Loop" is less than 7 or 8 million, not even 1 million. At this time of 25 years, it is a purely low-cost production.

More importantly, "Deep Sea" was broadcast two days earlier than "Waiting for the Monsoon to Blow" and nearly twenty days earlier than "Loop".

The plot has already entered its "climax", and the popularity should be the most stable and explosive.

Therefore, when the popularity of "Cycle" surpassed that of "Deep Sea", not only the investor Jin Ming, but also the Kiwi platform, Chu Hanzhou, Shi Jinwei, and even other people in the circle were a little confused.

No, buddy, there's something wrong with your A+! The two top streamers just did it? You're not Goujian, you're just playing with this S+ like a toy!

Chu Hanzhou remained silent, but that evening he intensified his promotional efforts for "Deep Sea" on Weibo, posting four or five posts in a row, prompting fans to quickly check the data and comment levels...

the other side.

Shi Jinwei had no expression or movement.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

"I feel a little uncomfortable tonight, so I'm going back to my room to rest."

She left a few words for the team, then went into her room and didn't come out for a long time.

After the assistant entered cautiously, he discovered that Shi Jinwei was wearing headphones and concentrating on looking at the tablet computer.

The latest episode played above is the sixth episode of the cycle...

He laughed out loud from time to time, and lowered his head to write something in a small notebook.

The assistant was confused.

"Who?!"

Sister Qianzi turned around suddenly as if she was caught cheating. When she saw that it was the person next to her, her expression relaxed, but then became extremely embarrassed again.

"Hmm... that new Rudy is pretty cool..."

The assistant was the first to break the silence.

Sister Pliers remained silent.

The assistant scratched his head: "Hmm... Is Mr. Chi handsome?"

"The script is okay."

Sister Tongs finally spoke, only to add, "But I heard that 'Loop' was written and directed by the director himself, so I feel like he must have taken advantage of it. The story is already very good."

"Yeah... you're right."

The assistant nodded quickly.

"…Anything else?"

Sister Tongs couldn't stand this embarrassment and pretended to be impatient and asked, "If you have nothing to do, go out."

"Uh... I brought you some snacks and fruit." The assistant gently placed the fruit plate and snacks on the table and turned to leave. But before leaving, she suddenly turned back and smiled, "Sister Shi, watching TV shows with snacks is perfect."

"go out!"

Shi Jinwei's face flushed: "I'm 'scouting the enemy', not watching a drama!"

"Okay... I'm going out, I'm going out, see you, Sister Shi."

The assistant hurriedly closed the door, his heart pounding...

I thought to myself, Sister Shi is really something. If you want to watch it, just say so. I knew you were quite interested in this drama when you watched the first episode.

Otherwise, according to Sister Shi’s personality, if she said one minute, it would be one minute, so how could she have watched it for four minutes longer?

"Ah, you are indeed my brother, you are so charming."

The assistant shook his head, hoping, "Now, my brother should finally prove his acting skills. Shouldn't he become famous?"

……

Chi Ye became famous.

The fire was sudden, but not that sudden...

This is no different from when he first released "Reboot". Today's domestic entertainment and film and television are indeed more mainstream and easier to attract fans.

With the broadcast of "Cycle", the number of fans of his personal Weibo account began to increase visibly. At the same time, the number of comments, likes and reposts on each Weibo post he made used to hover around 10, but a selfie he posted recently directly exceeded 30.

On the artist list, not to mention many unofficial lists, Ikeno's name appeared in the top five on the Vlinkage Artist New Media Index, which is the most recognized by people inside and outside the circle and can best reflect the recent popularity of a star and is a "battlefield" for fans of various groups.

The top four, starting from fourth place, are Ji Heming, Shi Jinwei, Shang Youshu, and Yu Yan.

Chu Hanzhou was sixth, Arthur was seventh, and Ran Qiao was eighth.

Ikeno had not been on this list before.

And not long after, he surpassed Ji Heming, leaving only two top young stars and the top star Yu Yan in front of him.

In real life, Arthur pulled him out of the blocked list again, but found that he had been blocked by Chi Ye...

As well as Zhang Xianming and Jiang from Rise, and several members of the sister-in-law group, they @ him on Weibo every day to gain popularity.

Yangzi even directly posted on Weibo:

I was fortunate enough to read the script for "Loop" and was immediately struck by its beauty. At that time, my good brother @Chiye was going through his most difficult time. To help him, I originally wanted to play the driver role for free, but ultimately missed the opportunity due to scheduling conflicts. This doesn't stop me from being a part of "Loop." Tonight's online screening is available for 0 yuan. Please join us in watching "Loop"!

In response to this, the "Loop" crew bluntly stated that this was not the case and Yangzi did not even come for the audition...

Later, considering the "father-son relationship" between Yangzi and Ikeno, he deleted the Weibo post.

That night, Yangzi called Chiye feeling aggrieved and accused the crew of "Loop" of sabotaging him. He just wanted to help his good brother!

So, the next day, the crew of "Cycle" denied the rumor again, saying that it was not true!

Yangzi then became a hot topic and successfully realized his wish.

While Ikeno was helping his oldest son realize his dream, Director Zhang of "Loop" was already overjoyed at this time. He called Ikeno frantically, urging him to come back and promote the drama. Come out and work quickly!
"Hmm... I'll be back tomorrow. Isn't there a live broadcast going on? We can start with a live broadcast and do some joint business."

On Karl Lagerfeld’s birthday.

Inside Happy Valley.

Ikeno looked at Mr. Lafayette, who was drinking Coke with his head down, biting his straw, and discussing with Director Zhang the business plan after the success of "Loop".

The current domestic entertainment industry is different from what it was ten years ago. After a drama is broadcast, if the business performs well, there will be a huge bonus.

He had calculated the time before coming, so there was no rush.

"That's fine. Live broadcast on Weibo the day after tomorrow at 8pm. Is that okay?"

"no problem."

Ikeno nodded, and the two chatted for a few more words. Even through the phone, Ikeno could feel Director Zhang's pride.

Yes, it is also the first work he directed, which surpassed two "drama kings" and even had the hope of competing with "Dream of Xiyuan". Director Zhang is very proud, and it is right.

"By the way, since you're so popular this time, you can try to get Teacher You's notebook."

Before hanging up, Director Zhang kindly reminded: "This script is currently stuck because some of the content is sensitive, but I still think it can be a hit..."

"Okay, I see."

Chi Ye nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party and hung up the phone, then looked at Lao Lafayette: "Let's go... Okay?"

But he saw that the old lady was holding a cell phone at the moment, looking at him with a smile, and said proudly to the other end of the line: "Hey? Auntie? Have you seen 'Loop' starring Teacher Chi? Yeah, it's better than that 'Waiting for the Monsoon Blows' and 'Deep Sea'... You know about it? Wow! I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to Teacher Chi!"

"Does your uncle know? Oh, he didn't call you... Then why don't you give him a call..."

"Yes, yes, um~ Thank him for me for returning the resources to Teacher Chi... I'm not showing off, I didn't! Aunt, I'm not that kind of person, I just want to thank him!"
