Chapter 716: Nine Heavens is a Nobody
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Many comments expressed the same meaning.
“‘Broken Continent is a bummer’. I’m guessing the trailer already has all the good bits.”
“‘Broken Continent is a bummer’. I agree. If the whole series is of this quality, then the cost would be sky-high. It’s unreal to spend so much on a drama.”
“‘Broken Continent is a bummer’. They just wanted to trick us into watching the first air. This would increase their viewings. Let’s not fall for their tricks.”
The Tan family had been paying attention to the trend of comments online.
When these comments appeared, the Tan family noticed them immediately.
Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo were also at home.
During this period of time, Tan Mo tried her best to stay at home and make adjustments according to the online trend at any time.
“It must be done by the team of ‘Nine Heavens’ who bought the Internet trolls,” Tan Jingsheng said with a dark face.
Before Tan Mo could say anything, Tan Wenci had already taken action.
His countermeasure was very simple. It was to spend money.
The Tan family didn’t have much else, but they had a lot of money!
They spent money to lower their popularity and lock up the articles.
No matter how the Internet trolls tried to brush up on the articles, it was useless. If their popularity didn’t go up, they wouldn’t be able to go up on the trending searches.
The articles were all locked up. Even if the netizens searched for something related to Broken Continent, they wouldn’t be able to find any of these articles.
Tan Mo counted with her fingers. “President Mu still owes me. Professor Guo and Director Yao also owe me as well.”
Tan Jinyi was rendered speechless.
“What is Tan Mo trying to do?” He shivered.
Moreover, since when did Principal Mu, Professor Guo, and Director Yao owe Tan Mo anything?
Without realizing it, Tan Mo actually held so much debt in the school?
“Owe you what?” Xu Mingzhen asked curiously when she heard Tan Mo mumble.
“They each owe me a request,” Tan Mo said. “Previously, when I participated in the maths competition and gave my classmates practice questions, I also got good results. Director Yao and Professor Guo couldn’t think of anything they could do for me, so they said they’d owed me a favor. When I thought of what I needed their help with, I could tell them. Principal Mu owes even more. He wants me to stay in the school as a maths teacher. Didn’t I just pass the teacher’s certification for this? So Principal Mu owes me one more favor.”
The members of the Tan family were all rendered speechless.
They felt that Tan Mo was not going to school at all. She was just going to lend out favors.
Just as Tan Mo was about to call Principal Mu, she received a call from Lu Man.
“Sister Lu Man?” Tan Mo was shocked that Lu Man was looking for her at this hour.
“I’ve seen all the comments online about the internet trolls,” said Lu Man. “Do you have any good solutions?”
Tan Mo knew that Lu Man was one of the top public relations experts in the industry. Her skills were beyond compare.
If Lu Man helped, her side would be like a tiger with wings.
Nine Heavens would become a nobody.
No matter which Nine Heavens asked for help, they would not be able to succeed.
“I originally wanted to look for our school’s Principal Mu to help promote it,” said Tan Mo.
“Mmmm, if you have the right connections over there, the more, the better,” Lu Man nodded. “Also, if you have an academic expert with social status like Principal Mu to Call for ‘Broken Continent’, the effect will be very good.
Although ‘Broken Continent’ is a mythology theme, it can’t prove anything from an academic point of view. However, a famous school like Beijing University has a natural position in the hearts of the public. To put it simply, it could be considered a popular passerby. With such a big shot promoting it, the netizens will definitely be curious. What kind of drama is worthy of being personally promoted by the Principal of Beijing University?
Even if they still have reservations about ‘Broken Continent’, but with the mood to give it a try, they can at least take a look, right? It’s not like they will lose anything. How about this? When Principal Mu posts on Weibo, I’ll get some marketing accounts to promote the drama on a large scale, and president mu will also promote the drama. It’ll be another wave of popularity.”
When Tan Mo heard that, she said, “I’m not just looking for President Mu. There’s also Professor Guo from the Mathematics Department of Beijing University and the head of the mathematics department, Dean Yao. Let me think, Professor Gu from the Chinese language department and Professor Tang from the history department will probably agree to help me promote the drama.
When will you release these promotions? How should we do it? Sister Lu Man, you’re a professional. What do you think?”
Tan Mo was very clear about leaving professional matters to professional people.
She had never thought that since she was an all-rounder, there was nothing that she did not know.
For areas that she did not know, she might be able to rely on her intelligence to achieve a certain level, but she could not be as professional as Lu Man and maximize the effects.
“We can’t always be passive and take a beating. Every time Nine Heavens tries to step on us, we only counterattack passively,” said Lu Man. “We have to be more proactive and bring up the tempo, letting Nine Heavens passively enter our rhythm, to cater to our rules of the game.”
“Let Nine Heavens be trapped in the circle that we had drawn for them. At that time, we will be in charge of how we play it. What ability does Nine Heavens have to jump around?” Lu Man smiled.
Tan Mo’s eyes sparkled as he listened.
“I’ve long heard that you’re really good at this!” Tan Mo said expectantly. “Sister Lu Man, could it be… that you want to be our public relations?”
“Your drama doesn’t have any negative information that requires public relations,” Lu Man smiled and said. “I can be part-time in promoting your drama.”
“That’s Great!” Tan Mo did not expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.
“Right, besides Principal Mu and the professors, who else can you get to help promote it? If it’s to help keep the popularity, it’s best if there are new surprises every day in order to maintain the popularity. It’s best not to let everyone post it all at once,” said Lu Man.
“Director Hou Yuehai and Director Liu Runlin will definitely post it too,” said Tan Mo.
She could tell that the two directors were sincere in treating her and Tan Jinqi well.
Otherwise, they would not have come to the set so often to take charge of the scene when Tan Guqi was filming.
One had to know that in order to shoot the scene, most of the time, Tan Jinqi’s filming location was very remote and the traffic was inconvenient.
Going there once was especially troublesome.
Not only was the journey long, but the journey was also very tiring.
Even so, the two of them took turns to go to the venue.
Lu Man nodded. “How about this, I’ll let the two directors publish the posts today, and I’ll go find a few friends to build up the momentum together. This momentum should be able to last until tomorrow. “The day after tomorrow, you can let Principal Mu and the others distribute it. “I’ll contact the marketing accounts to make the trending searches go up.”
“Alright,” Tan Mo obediently wrote it down. “Right, sister Lu Man, if you want to buy the trending searches, I’ll directly do it on my end. As for the marketing accounts, we’ll give them the exact price they quote.”
Tan Mo was worried that Lu Man would directly help her pay the fees.
