After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

She was laughing so hard in the office that tears were almost streaming down her face.

The contrast is absolutely amazing!

Who would have thought that Jiang Yichen, who is usually calm and aloof, could actually produce such a comedic performance that makes people laugh until their stomachs hurt.

Two hours later.

The movie has ended.

The cast and crew list scrolls across the screen.

Gu Ruanxing sat in the chair, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions.

This movie has no big-name stars and no flashy special effects.

But it has an extremely solid script, superb acting skills, and a dark humor that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

This is absolutely a rare masterpiece!

If managed properly, it could definitely become the biggest dark horse during the National Day holiday!

Gu Ruanxing suddenly stood up, strode to the office door, and yanked it open.

Jiang Yichen was sitting in the outdoor rest area, holding a cup of coffee and leisurely flipping through a magazine.

Seeing Gu Ruanxing come out, he put down the magazine and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Finished watching?"

Gu Ruanxing strode up to him, her eyes shining brightly.

Jiang Yichen.

"Starry Sky Entertainment has acquired the distribution rights to this film!"

Jiang Yichen stood up, a smile playing on his lips.

"Didn't Miss Gu just say that this was a childish school assignment?"

Gu Ruanxing blushed slightly, a rare occurrence, but quickly regained her domineering composure.

"Can't I change my mind? Name your price!"

Jiang Yichen didn't talk about money, only stating his conditions: "I want Starry Sky Entertainment to pour all their publicity resources into this movie!"

Gu Ruanxing's pupils contracted slightly.

All in?

This movie is good, but none of the lead actors have any box office appeal... This is too big a gamble.

Jiang Yichen saw through her hesitation and looked directly at Gu Ruanxing.

"Miss Gu, you've run out of cards to play now."

"Besides trusting me, do you have any other choice?"

Gu Ruanxing fell silent.

Jiang Yichen is right.

She has now been pushed to the brink.

Gu Ruanxing gritted her teeth, her slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

The entire rest area was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall.

After a while.

Gu Ruanxing suddenly raised her head, her eyes revealing a ruthless determination.

"good!"

"I promise you!"

"Tiered scheduling and performance-based agreements."

"Since we're going to play, let's go big!"

Gu Ruanxing turned to look at Secretary Li, who was standing not far away, barely daring to breathe.

"Secretary Li!"

"Immediately notify the distribution and marketing departments, and all managers to gather in Conference Room One in ten minutes!"

"We've designated 'Crazy Stone' as our sole flagship project for the National Day holiday!"

"Put all our marketing and distribution resources into this movie!"

Secretary Li nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Mr. Gu!"

Gu Ruanxing looked at Jiang Yichen again, a highly aggressive smile curling at the corners of her lips.

"Jiang Yichen, you'd better pray that this movie really does become a hit like you said."

Jiang Yichen straightened the cuffs of his shirt.

"rest assured."

I never do anything I'm not sure I can do.

..........

That afternoon.

Star Entertainment's massive marketing machine has begun operating at full speed.

Major online platforms, subway stations, and bus stops.

Posters for "Crazy Stone" began to appear everywhere.

In the center of the poster is a piece of jade that emits a faint green light.

Surrounding them were several figures with different expressions and comical mannerisms.

The most eye-catching person was Jiang Yichen, who was standing in the corner wearing sunglasses and a black suit.

The poster had a line of large text printed on it.

"Jiang Yichen's first big-screen crossover film! Coming soon during the National Day holiday!"

The news caused an uproar across the internet.

On Weibo, the topic of Jiang Yichen's foray into filmmaking quickly became a trending topic.

"Holy crap! Jiang Shen went to film a movie?"

"The new album just topped the charts, and now they're moving on to the big screen? That's a huge leap!"

"Why does this poster look so tacky? I don't recognize anyone except Jiang Shen."

"A low-budget comedy? Has Jiang Shen been tricked by investors into making a quick buck?"

"High expectations! Anything produced by Jiang Shen is guaranteed to be top-notch!"

.........

Online opinions are polarized.

The fans naturally offered their support without hesitation.

However, most casual viewers and film critics were skeptical of this suddenly appearing low-budget film.

Shanghai, the headquarters of Brilliant Entertainment.

Wang Jianye sat on a large leather sofa, looking at the trending topics on his tablet.

He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Is Gu Ruanxing resorting to desperate measures?"

"You're betting against me on a terrible comedy made by a music-obsessed internet celebrity?"

Sitting opposite him, Bai Yanqiu was slowly trimming his cigar.

"Jianye, don't let your guard down."

Bai Yanqiu put the cut cigar in his mouth and lit it with a match.

"Jiang Yichen is a very strange person."

"The things he makes always manage to cause some kind of commotion."

Wang Jianye waved his hand dismissively.

"Young Master Bai, you're overthinking it."

"The film market and the music market are completely different things."

"Without big-name stars or a big production, how much box office revenue can he generate just from his online fanbase?"

"We're releasing 'Iron-Blooded Warrior' during the National Day holiday!"

"First-day pre-sale box office has already exceeded 50 million!"

Wang Jianye exhaled a smoke ring triumphantly.

"That piece of junk from Star Entertainment, Stone, isn't even worth five million in pre-sales yet."

"A tenfold difference!"

"Gu Ruanxing is doomed to lose this time!"

Bai Yanqiu took a deep drag on his cigar, the strong tobacco flavor swirling in his lungs.

He looked at Jiang Yichen's poster on the tablet through the bluish-white smoke.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Since they want to play."

"Then let's add some flair to their marketing and promotion."

Bai Yanqiu took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Notify the online troll companies under my command."

"Make sure you hype up the topic of Jiang Yichen's cross-industry money-making schemes and shoddy productions."

"I want this movie to be a complete flop before it's even released."

...........

A few days later, the National Day film season officially kicked off.

October st.

Cinemas in Shanghai were packed with people.

Inside the lobby of Xinghui Cinema, a huge electronic screen displays today's movie schedule.

A young couple is standing in front of the self-service ticket machine.

The boy held two movie tickets for "Crazy Stone" in his hand, his face full of anticipation.

The girl frowned, looking disgusted.

"What kind of lousy movie did you buy?"

"Everyone online says it's a terrible movie, and that Jiang Yichen is just here to make money."

The boy quickly tried to appease and coax her.

"Oh dear, I've already bought the tickets, and I'm already here."

"The trailer looks pretty funny, so I'll just go in and relax a bit."

The girl reluctantly pouted and followed the boy into the screening room.
