In the hotel room.

After a while, Yang Ming slowly put down his phone and looked out the window at the city shrouded in night. News came from Liu Xinsheng. It seemed that this time the other party was indeed going to manipulate the box office data through the real-time movie platform.

If it were in his previous life, he might not have much choice.

Even if there is media exposure and public opinion condemnation, it still does not matter.

There will be no consequences, the movie should be released or released, the company should make money or not, everything will continue as usual without any punitive measures.

But this world is different.

Yang Ming thought about the phone call he made to Mr. Tao two days ago, and his plan became more solid.

Now that it is certain that the other party will carry out secret operations through the Timely Movies platform, he can contact Minister Guo.

It seems that he will rush back to Yanjing tomorrow.

If he didn't meet with Minister Guo in person, he would definitely not be able to proceed with the next plan.

Now the involvement between Minister Guo and Yang Ming is getting deeper and deeper.

To be honest, Yang Ming still has a certain resistance to this kind of exchange of interests. Maybe this has something to do with his mental mysophobia.

I don't like to get caught up in the habit of exchanging political interests in official circles.

But fortunately, Minister Guo is not the kind of official who relies solely on speculation to gain his position. This minister has relied on his own abilities to get to where he is today step by step.

The initial friendship between Yang Ming and Minister Guo was purely because of each other's love for talents, and there were not too many interests entangled in it. This made Yang Ming feel a little more relaxed and comforted himself with this statement.

However, as Minister Guo has been promoted step by step, and Yang Ming's status has undergone earth-shaking changes, it is obvious that the two of them will no longer be as casual as before.

Both of them now have their own interests and demands, and it is precisely because of this that the two sides are getting closer and closer.

In two years' time, the new government cabinet will be elected. At that time, Minister Guo's faction will definitely hope to get help from Yang Ming, who already has certain media resources.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Ming is so confident in carrying out this plan, digging a big hole and waiting for the opponent to jump out.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the TV screen.

At this time, a specially designed plot by Zhao Sheng in the program "Run, Brother" was playing on the TV screen.

"Hey, Zhao Sheng, what did you bring in your bag this time? It has been rumored recently that you take drugs. Don't tell me there are drugs in my bag." Guo Xiaotian joked with a smirk on his face during the show.

"Aren't you also accused of taking drugs? You have the right to despise me." Zhao Sheng glanced at Guo Xiaotian and said "dismissively".

--Hahaha!

Several other celebrities around him who are also popular in China couldn't help laughing.

In this current version of "Run, Brother", several regular guest stars are all first-line stars in the entertainment industry, and the lineup is no worse than in the previous version.

Among them, Guo Xiaotian and Zhao Sheng are artists affiliated with Oriental DreamWorks.

After all, both Phoenix TV and Oriental DreamWorks are Yang Ming's industries. Artists from Oriental DreamWorks will definitely have innate advantages in this regard.

To be honest, if it weren't for Wu Yuanzhi's strict control, it is estimated that Sister Zhu would have to add more people, and it would be possible to become an all-star lineup of Oriental DreamWorks.

But after Yang Ming listened to Wu Yuanzhi's report, he thought about it and rejected Sister Zhu's idea.

Without him, Oriental DreamWorks is not strong enough to support "Run, Brother" right now.

Young idol stars are rare resources, and Oriental DreamWorks is pretty good at having a few of them.

Originally Wu Tianhao was also eligible to participate, but he did not participate because he was not available. Otherwise, there might have been another star from the Oriental DreamWorks faction.

Now Sister Zhu is very superstitious about Yang Ming. She believes that whether Yang Ming is making movies or doing variety shows, even if Yang Ming does not always become a classic, it will not be far behind.

Therefore, as soon as she knew that a new program idea from Phoenix TV was created by Yang Ming, she would immediately try her best to include a few of her own artists to get familiar with it.

"I had pictures and the truth at that time, and there was also video footage, which has already proven my innocence."

Guo Xiaotian pretended to be arrogant and deliberately acted in a show, revealing an image that was inconsistent with his usual appearance in front of the screen, which made countless viewers sitting in front of the TV laugh.

No one thought that Guo Xiaotian still had the potential to be funny.

But it was Guo Xiaotian's funny temperament that made him appear in the variety show "Run, Brother". Since its launch, it has attracted a lot of viewers, especially young people. Many people were originally interested in Guo Xiaotian.

Not having a cold.

However, after the show was broadcast, Guo Xiaotian's popularity suddenly became very popular, especially his frequent interactions with fans on his scarf, which became an interesting topic among netizens.

Zhao Sheng's honest and responsible character in the show also amazed many viewers.

They really didn't expect that the handsome guy who was always handsome and cold in front of the screen would turn out to be such a good old man with a peaceful personality in reality.

This caused many viewers to break their previous impression of Zhao Sheng.

It is also Zhao Sheng's true image in this variety show that makes countless viewers not believe that Zhao Sheng is a drug addict. This is because Zhao Sheng's character is so good that he is simply synonymous with a good man.

He can cook, be considerate, and help others. He doesn't speak loudly or lose his temper easily. He is nothing like those stars in the entertainment industry.

Many female netizens even call Zhao Sheng the "national husband", which is simply the standard for choosing a spouse that all women dream of.

A while ago, a lot of negative news that was unfavorable to Zhao Sheng suddenly appeared in the media. Although these negative news were only caused by the appearance of Zhao Sheng's brother, the captain of the national football team, Zhao Hai, and many national team heavyweight stars who came forward to endorse Zhao Sheng.

The influence has been greatly reduced.

But now, just by participating in a variety show, he has completely changed ordinary people's impression of Zhao Sheng.

It is simply impossible to combine such a real Zhao Sheng with the scandal of drug abuse and prostitution.

Anyone who watches this variety show thinks that Zhao Sheng is definitely not the kind of person whose private life is extremely corrupt.

The painting style doesn't match at all.

The variety show "Run, Brother" has completely washed away the negative news surrounding Zhao Sheng. His image in the outside world has returned to normal, even more positive than before. This has also made many viewers react to the upcoming release of Zhao Sheng as the leading role.

"The Fast and the Furious" is very interesting.

This change surprised everyone in the entertainment industry.

No one expected that Zhao Sheng, who had been plagued by negative news and whose popularity had dropped a lot, would climb back up so quickly.

Even though many stars from Zhao Hai and the national football team came forward to prove Zhao Sheng, the effect was not as fast as that of a variety show, which really made many people in the entertainment industry drop their jaws.

This variety show actually has such great influence?

While looking at the TV screen, Yang Ming couldn't help but nodded. It was really a right decision to let Zhao Sheng participate in the recording of "Run, Brother".

When Zhao Sheng was asked to film this variety show, his main consideration was to promote the movie.

Yang Ming came up with the idea for this program. He naturally knows what kind of results this variety show will achieve after it is broadcast. Although the ratings of the current broadcast cannot be compared with the various records broken in previous lives, it is still considered a success in this life.

A golden variety show.

I guess it would be considered a flagship program on other TV stations.

To be honest, if everyone on domestic TV stations knew Yang Ming's inner thoughts at this moment, they would want to beat him to death.

Isn’t this called success?

Isn't this good?

However, no one knew that Yang Ming was actually a little disappointed with the ratings after the broadcast of "Run, Brother". They all thought that Phoenix TV would once again have ratings after "The Same Song" was released.

A top variety show.

Although Phoenix TV is a new operating model, through its rapid development in the past few years, the influence of this emerging TV station cannot be ignored.

Maybe this TV station is not a satellite station, but through the Internet broadband cable TV method, it has opened a new door for everyone, and it is worth studying by everyone.

In particular, Phoenix TV's advantages in new media are the best in China. Even the national TV station, except for news and sports programs, cannot compare with Phoenix TV on the mobile terminal.

Moreover, with the further expansion of Phoenix TV, the current affairs news column has gradually gained a certain influence. Many people have become loyal viewers of the TV station just because they like the sharp comments of Phoenix TV's news column.

I heard that Phoenix TV may join the bidding for the live broadcast rights of various sports events next year. I believe that Phoenix TV’s influence will further expand.

The next day, Yang Ming got up early and followed the planned itinerary to meet up with Xiong Zhuang, Zhao Sheng, Huang Xiaofeng and others to promote "The Fast and the Furious" before its premiere in Guangzhou, waiting for the promotional activities in Guangzhou to end

, according to the plan, Yang Ming and the others are going to North Korea and Japan.

It’s really hard to refuse such kindness.

Facing the warm invitations from theater companies in both countries, Yang Ming felt that if he didn't go, he might be labeled as looking down on his vassal country again.

Therefore, this time for the promotion of "The Fast and the Furious", he discussed with Liu Xinsheng and deliberately added North Korea and Japan, without dragging down any of the two countries.

There is no way, even if these two countries have conflicts in the international arena, they will not break up too fiercely, but if it involves China, then it seems that in order to prove that their respective countries are closer to China, the two countries will definitely confront each other without distinction.

Never give up until you win or lose.

It's not impossible even to make a big fuss.

It’s not like there are no such examples.

Therefore, in order not to leave any excuses for the two countries, Yang Ming had no choice but to be even-tempered in this regard. In fact, these two countries are a little too glass-hearted when it comes to China.

Of course, this does not rule out that the two countries deliberately did it to show China.

After traveling to North Korea and Japan, Yang Ming will also visit several cities in the United States and Europe before returning to Yanjing.

He is not used to Western theaters when it comes to the movie's premiere time. Everything is based on Yanjing time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the screening in the United States will not begin until about 12 hours after the premiere of his film in China, and it will be earlier in Europe, but it will still take four or five hours.
