Chapter 714: Says Who?

As for Broken Continent, its main sponsor is Tanyue. I know that Tanyue is the company of your family, and Broken Continent doesnt need to worry about where to find a sponsor. This is your advantage.

However, Manager Xu emphasized the word advantage in an extremely sarcastic tone of voice.

But, except Tanyue, who else would be willing to sponsor Broken Continent? Manager Xu asked in a sarcastic voice, The director and the actors are not famous enough, and it is still unknown whether the audience will like it. I guess no other sponsor will be willing to choose it.

There were many sponsors for Nine Heavens. Although its genre was mythology, it was possible that advertis.e.m.e.nts of modern brands appeared in it.

For example, e-commerce brands could be replaced by the names of some small folk shops. They sold cloth, ready-made clothes, makeups, porcelain, fans, and so on. After all, there were many small shops in ancient times.

For medicine advertis.e.m.e.nts, people could stick the names of the medicine on ancient porcelain bottles.

As for logistics advertis.e.m.e.nts, their names could be written on the signboard of a courier station, a security bureau, and so on.

In any case, as long as a series was able to attract investment, there would always be a practical method of imprinting advertis.e.m.e.nts into the series. After all, there were always more ways than difficulties, not to mention they had even invented a new way.

The new way was called small theater. Although the TV series that was broadcast on the Internet would not have advertis.e.m.e.nts in the middle, they could broadcast a small theater in the middle of each episode. The actors and actresses of the series would perform in it, which was actually a new type of advertis.e.m.e.nt.

Now, the advertis.e.m.e.nts of Nine Heavens have already filled up the first 120 seconds of the commercial break. After the opening song ends, there will be five advertis.e.m.e.nts, and in the middle, there will be a small theater. The small advertis.e.m.e.nt windows in the lower left and right corners are already prepared. So, how is Broken Continent gonna compete with Nine Heavens? Manager Xu said in a disdainful voice.

Manager Xu was in charge of the advertis.e.m.e.nt recruitment. He had attracted many advertisers. Therefore, he was a very important person in Kefeng Films, unlike Manager w.a.n.g, who didnt even dare to speak.

Manager Xu dared to speak in front of these people, and he was not afraid that Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing would get angry with him. He knew they didnt dare to dismiss him. If they fired him, he would leave with all the sponsors, which would be a loss that Kefeng Films didnt afford to suffer.

Tan Jinqis eyes narrowed as he said in a cold voice, Apart from not being a weekly series, Broken Continent is all based on the American TV series model. Have you ever seen so many commercials in American series?

Manager Xu sneered in disdain, thinking that Tan Jinqi was just trying to save his dignity.

In Manager Xus opinion, even if Tan Jinqi went to recruit investors, he wouldnt be able to attract any sponsors.

So, you came here today just to ask why the two series are released on the same day? But this has nothing to do with us. Guo Qingchen said impatiently. He thought this meeting was just a waste of his time.

Do you want us to postpone Nine Heavens? Guo Qingchen sneered. Why should we postpone it? Were not gonna do it. We are sure our series will be popular.

Manager Liang smiled. Her face was full of contempt and impatience. If Director Tan doesnt think this is a good idea, you can ask to postpone the release time of Broken Continent. Choose another date, and there wont be any problems, right? Manager Liang was obviously well-prepared. She flipped through a doc.u.ment that she had brought with her and said, The original release date of Broken Continent and Nine Heavens was scheduled on March 25th, from Monday to Thursday, one episode a day. By the third week, the audience can pay for the last four episodes. On the other hand, Nine Heavens will broadcast two episodes per day from Monday to Thursday. By the third week and the fourth week, the audience will be able to pay for four episodes each week, altogether eight episodes.

Manager Liang added, In that case, lets just set the release date of Nine Heavens ahead of Broken Continent. Nine Heavens finishes broadcasting in the fourth week, and Broken Continent will be broadcast from the fifth week. The broadcast schedule will remain the same, still from Monday to Thursday, one episode per day. By the third week, the audience can pay for the rest of the episodes. Manager Liang said as she flipped through a few pages of the doc.u.ment, Days from Friday to Sunday wont do. Nine Heavens hasnt been scheduled from Friday to Sunday. There are a few popular shows that need to be aired during these three prime time slots. The new TV series is actually not very popular during this period. However, these shows are very popular, and their view counts far exceed those of the TV series.

Manager Liang sneered, How about that, huh? If Broken Continent still fails to accomplish its goal, it has nothing to do with the release date and Nine Heavens. Her smile made the others feel uncomfortable. However, she didnt care if Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo had a good relations.h.i.+p with Wei Zhiqian. After all, a boss couldnt fire his employee for no reason because he or she was afraid of employee complaints and arbitration.

Besides, in the entertainment industry, ones character and att.i.tude didnt matter. What these employers cared about the most was ones capability. If one was capable, it didnt matter how arrogant he or she was. Others would try their best to put up with you.

Manager Liang was a sn.o.b. In her opinion, although Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo had a good relations.h.i.+p with Wei Zhiqian, the capital chain behind Guo Qingchen and his sponsors was much more powerful. To put it bluntly, Manager Liang thought Guo Qingchen was much more powerful and she didnt dare to offend him. She felt that although Wei Zhiqian had a good relations.h.i.+p with Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo, no interest was involved in their relations.h.i.+p.

However, no relations.h.i.+p could be solid without interests.

Yeah, if you want to, you can postpone your series, said one of the people who came with Guo Qingchen. When they came, they didnt introduce themselves, so Tan Mo didnt know who he was. She only recognized Guo Qingchen.

Anyway, its impossible for us to postpone Nine Heavens, that guy sneered in triumph, Even if were willing to, those advertisers and sponsors will not agree. The broadcast time has been scheduled, and if its suddenly postponed, they will suffer a great loss.

Who said were going to postpone it? Tan Mo looked at Guo Qingchen and his teammates as if they were a bunch of idiots.

Other than Xu Das.h.i.+ and Yan Zhengxing, the others all looked perplexed. Why did Tan Mo look at them as if they were idiots? Who was the real idiot? Why did she look at them like that? What was wrong with her? She was supposed to be the one who was scared. And she was supposed to be the idiot!

Did Tan Mo get it wrong?

If you dont postpone it, are you going to broadcast it at the same time as Nine Heavens? Guo Qingchen sneered.

Of course, its already scheduled. Tan Mo said as she looked at Guo Qingchen as if she was saying, You sucker.

Guo Qingchen was speechless. A tide of rage surged through him. He thought Tan Mos arrogant att.i.tude was too disgusting!

Then why did you call us here for a meeting? Guo Qingchen huffed.

To figure out what happened to the release date. We are not afraid that the two series are broadcast on the same day. We are just curious that this schedule doesnt conform to the

original principle, and it is especially unfair to you, Tan Mo said with great confidence..
