Chapter 178: Cloud Brocade
Under the interaction of various factors, tonight’s broadcast of Happy Holidays was outstanding. Its ratings were so high that they far exceeded all programs on other TV stations in the same time slot.
And in the online world, the video of Endless-9âs title track stage was like a runaway horse, its play count soaring all the way.
Even those who normally didn’t pay much attention to idol groups couldn’t avoid frequently seeing, hearing, and encountering their stage on various social media platforms.
As time passed, the various variety shows Endless-9 participated in aired their stages one after another. In these programs, they showed their stage charm again and again to different audience groups.
Such high-frequency and high-quality exposure made it so that even those who originally knew nothing about them could hum two or three lines of the classic lyrics from their songs.
Since Endless-9âs stage became a huge hit, Gong Tianfeng had been calculating and stalling, waiting for the time when Tong Shenwu couldn’t hold back and would take the initiative to come to him to discuss the music promotion stage.
This way, he would be in a more favorable position at the negotiating table, allowing him to better control the situation and get a handle on Tong Shenwu and Yishang Entertainment.
However, things went against his wishes. After waiting and waiting, what he got instead were rumors that Tong Shenwu might reach a cooperation with Snowflake TV.
Maize TV, represented by Gong Tianfeng, was unwilling to let go of this tempting piece of “cake.” So despite being slightly unwilling, because his rival Snowflake TV was pressing hard, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dial Tong Shenwuâs number.
The phone rang a few times before being picked up. Gong Tianfeng tried to make his voice sound as calm as possible. “General Manager Tong, I heard youâre talking to Snowflake TV about cooperating on a music promotion stage?”
On the other end, Tong Shenwu heard Gong Tianfengâs sullen voice and let out a light laugh before saying, “Station Head Gong, what? Is Maize TV only now wanting to talk about cooperation with our Yishang?”
Gong Tianfeng bit his teeth. “General Manager Tong, didn’t we chat about this before? I think our station is also very sincere.”
Tong Shenwu said unhurriedly, “Station Head Gong, your previous attitude didn’t let me see much sincerity. My talk with Snowflake TV is going quite smoothly.”
On this end of the phone, Gong Tianfeng became anxious. “General Manager Tong, as long as you come to our station, we will definitely give you sufficient resources, and the profit-sharing ratio is negotiable.”
Tong Shenwu was silent for a moment, causing the palm of Gong Tianfengâs hand holding the phone to gradually sweat.
“General Manager Gong, now that you say that, I am a bit interested. However, I want to adjust the broadcast time I mentioned before to 5:00 PM on Friday evenings. This point is non-negotiable.”
Hearing that there was a turnaround, Gong Tianfeng bit his teeth and hurriedly said, “Alright, General Manager Tong, we agree.”
5:00 PM on Friday evenings was a prime time slot. If Yishang Entertainment had wanted to get this time slot before, they would have had to argue with the station for a long time.
After hanging up, Gong Tianfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly glad there was still a chance to fight for it. This was clearly a project that would definitely make a profit; how could he let Snowflake TV have it?
With a broadcast TV station for the music promotion stage and the preliminary preparation work already completed, Yishang Entertainment moved extremely fast. After signing the contract with Maize TV, they moved into Maize TV.
After Gu Wanrong received the news, she repeatedly marveled that Tong Shenwuâs efficiency was too high. At this time, there was still a surplus of the funds she had allocated to her.
Thinking that since all the work was completed and they were just waiting for the singers and idols’ live recordings, Gu Wanrong allocated another sum of money to Tong Shenwu, telling her to do a good job.
During this period, Luo Qiaoming flew back to the country with clothes specially designed and customized for the KQ Founding Anniversary Fashion Gala.
The theme of this fashion gala was “Vanity Fair,” a theme that was both easy to understand and classic.
The Fashion Queen drama crew was ecstatic. What was called a “pie falling from the sky”? This was it! The plot already revolved around the “Vanity Fair” of the fashion circle, and the theme of the red carpet they were attending was also Vanity Fair. It was perfect for drama promotion!
“Qiaoming, come out and take a break. Don’t always be so worried.”
Gu Wanrong walked into the studio and saw at a glance that Luo Qiaoming was sitting on the floor with a face full of sorrow, with colorful and cluttered fabrics scattered around her.
After asking, Gu Wanrong learned that Luo Qiaoming had been buried in this studio for three whole days, and her whole being was about to be crushed by work.
Seeing this, Gu Wanrong didn’t say another word and forced Luo Qiaoming out from that pile of fabric, wanting her to go for a walk and get some fresh air, lest she really made herself sick.
“Sigh…” Luo Qiaoming let out a long, weak sigh, as if the sound contained endless troubles and bitterness. Her eyes had become dim and listless, just staring blankly at Gu Wanrong, followed by another sigh, “Sigh!”
She was like a deflated ball, slumped limply on a stool, her hands constantly scratching her hair. In a short while, that originally smooth and bright hair became frizzy and messy, and she looked like she was about to go crazy.
Gu Wanrong looked at Luo Qiaoming with concern, knowing in her heart that if she didn’t help Luo Qiaoming solve the problem bothering her soon, she would stay like this no matter where she was.
So Gu Wanrong asked gently, “Is it a very professional problem? If it’s not that complicated, why don’t you tell me about it? Maybe one more person means one more idea, and maybe I can help you.”
As she spoke, Gu Wanrong reached out and gently smoothed Luo Qiaomingâs messy hair bit by bit.
Luo Qiaoming raised her heavy eyelids stiffly and slowly, her gaze empty and dazed as she looked straight at Gu Wanrong like a puppet that had lost its soul. As time passed, she remained standing there like a statue, silent.
After a few breaths, her brain seemed to finally take in Gu Wanrongâs words. Immediately after, she grabbed Gu Wanrongâs hand, and then looked as she stumbled and hurriedly dragged her back into the studio she had just left.
Gu Wanrong stared at Luo Qiaoming, who walked with light steps and a flickering, swaying figure. She couldn’t help but think in her heart: Looking at her like this, she probably hasn’t closed her eyes to sleep much in these three days. But it shouldn’t be to this extent; could it be she hasn’t even eaten a few mouthfuls of hot food?
Thinking of this, Gu Wanrong frowned, her concern evident.
As soon as they entered the studio, Luo Qiaoming impatiently pulled out a few pieces of fabric of different colors from the cluttered, messy pile and shook them vigorously in front of Gu Wanrong.
Then she pointed her finger at the garment she had hand-drawn and cut the pattern for, signaling Gu Wanrong to look closely.
