"Why is there still an interlude?" Li Hong exclaimed in surprise.
Soulmate rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Well, I practiced for a long time to sing that. What do you think, boss?"
"Not bad, not bad..." Li Hong didn't criticize Soulmate this time.
Mainly because Soulmate was actually quite good at singing. Even if it wasn't perfect, it was definitely listenable.
"Soulmate, are you interested in becoming a triple threat in film, television, and music?"
"Pfft..." Lu Mao was the first to burst out laughing.
What kind of joke was this? Soulmate had just sung a somewhat mediocre love song; how could he possibly be a triple threat?
Li Hong shot a glare at Lu Mao and ignored him.
Soulmate asked with a troubled expression, "But I still feel like I'm lacking. Acting alone is already difficult enough; I’m afraid I can’t handle singing too..."
"You're being too hard on yourself. Who are you, Soulmate? You're the top guy at Sweet Potato Films! Being a triple threat is also for better development," Li Hong advised earnestly.
The reason Sweet Potato Films lacked fame was that they didn't have a leading figure. At this moment, Soulmate showcased his singing talent; he was definitely a star in the making!
If they could cultivate Soulmate into a superstar, then Sweet Potato Films would surely rise to fame as well.
"Charlie, have you finished the advertisement for the new film promotion?" Li Hong turned to ask Charlie, who had just returned from the restroom.
Charlie shook his head.
"No, I've already contacted Weakness and the forwarding channels; we just need the advertisement now."
"An advertisement?"
Li Hong glanced at Lu Mao, who was chewing gum, and then at the flamboyant Soulmate.
"Alright, let's make one. We have both a director and actors, so it shouldn't be a problem to shoot something casually."
Lu Mao perked up and asked, "Boss, am I the one filming?"
"Who else would it be? I'm not doing this," Li Hong replied, handing his phone to Lu Mao and urging him on.
"…"
Holding the phone, Lu Mao looked confused and asked, "What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Film the advertisement!" Li Hong was exasperated with Lu Mao's lack of understanding.
"Damn it, does the camera film for free?"
Anyway, it's just a lousy advertisement; they could throw something together.
"Here, put this on!"
Li Hong found a wolf mask and handed it to Soulmate.
"The lines are simple. Just take a look and read them out."
"Oh!" Soulmate blankly accepted the script from Charlie and began memorizing it.
Lu Mao fiddled with Li Hong's camera, activating the photography mode. The relatively clear lens focused on Soulmate, who was wearing a wolf mask.
"Aksin!"
Soulmate stood in the center of the editing room, holding a longsword, exuding an imposing presence.
"Without a girlfriend, what movies are you watching? Your time is precious; come to the cinema and find your very own Silicone Girlfriend! Just click to get one! I'm Soulmate, and I'll be waiting for you at the cinema on November 1st!"
With that, Soulmate twisted and turned, spinning around excitedly before exclaiming, "What are you waiting for? Come share a girlfriend with me!"
"Orc! Orc!" Charlie clapped his hands in delight.
"Not bad, not bad. With some editing, we can turn this into three ads. Soulmate did great; he really put in the effort," Charlie commented.
Lu Mao stared at the just-shot advertisement, utterly speechless.
The low-quality footage, the cringeworthy lines, and a disastrous spokesperson—this hardly resembled a normal advertisement!
"How about... we shoot another one? This film won't take much!" Lu Mao suggested cautiously.
Li Hong took the phone, glanced at it, and was quite satisfied with Soulmate's performance.
At Lu Mao's suggestion to reshoot, Li Hong scoffed, "Even if it doesn't take much, it still costs money. Lu Mao, since you joined our company, I don't have much to tell you except one thing—you must remember this!"
"Boss, I'm listening," Lu Mao perked up his ears, ready to heed Li Hong's advice.
Li Hong sighed and said helplessly, "At Sweet Potato Films, while our goal is to become a heavyweight in the entertainment industry like an Aircraft Carrier, we're still in the early stages. Every penny is hard-earned. As a director, if you can save money, do so."
Lu Mao forced a smile and said, "But boss, aren't we... being a bit too frugal?"
"No, no, no. I felt the same way at first, thinking we were cutting back too much. Until I saw the bank balance..."
Lu Mao's forehead darkened as he helplessly replied, "Alright, I understand. I'll do my best to work in this direction and make sure not to waste your funds."
As a director, Lu Mao despised nothing more than stingy investors. Yet now, living under their roof, he had no choice but to help them save money.
"Sigh, if it weren't for the five-year directing contract I signed, I would have gone back to school by now."
...
Putting aside Lu Mao's sighs, Li Hong turned to Charlie and asked, "Charlie, we need to ramp up those promotional channels quickly. It's already October 5th, and the release is just around the corner."
"Don't worry, boss. I've already negotiated with over a hundred WeChat accounts. Once the movie starts its promotional campaign, they'll immediately send out advertising pushes."
Li Hong nodded; their company, Sweet Potato, didn't have much money and could only make do with this.
Although over a hundred accounts wasn't a lot, given their limited promotional budget, Charlie was doing a great job achieving this level of outreach.
"What about other channels?" Li Hong pressed.
Charlie pulled out a document and after glancing at it replied, "Boss, we've also reached agreements with major portals and browsers. We just need to send them a 15-second ad clip once it's ready. Additionally, to support the promotion, I've hired about three thousand online influencers. They are seasoned keyboard warriors with plenty of experience in posting online and high combat readiness."
"Only three thousand?" Li Hong frowned.
Why did others have hundreds of thousands of influencers while he only had this few?
Charlie spread his hands helplessly and said, "The industry standard is fifty cents per post, but our promotional budget is limited, so we can only offer ten cents. That's why many brave internet warriors are unwilling to take on this task."
"What's wrong with ten cents? Come on, being picky like that is really unprofessional."
Noticing that Li Hong was a bit angry, Charlie quickly explained, "Boss, there's no need to worry. We have equipped these three thousand internet warriors with automatic text generation scripts and registration machines, along with other advanced international equipment. With such excellent gear, their combat effectiveness is quite impressive."
"Alright then, let's use these three thousand internet warriors to make Sweet Potato Films shine!" Li Hong waved his hand confidently.
Charlie was also influenced by this atmosphere; he straightened up and gave a formal salute before solemnly saying, "Give me three thousand internet warriors, and I will return you a top Box Office!"
"Then it's hard work ahead! Take care!" Li Hong returned the salute.
Charlie turned around with perfect posture and marched out of the editing room.
"Don't worry, boss!"
