Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Diyang is a Huge Entity, Who Can Afford to Provoke Him?

"When did Yuran get pregnant? What do you mean Yuran is going to give birth?" Austin and Duan Chen finally found their voices, utterly astonished.

Xuan Ze ruffled his hair, "How would I know when she got pregnant? If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?

The key point here is, what should we do about the urban publicity?"

After being stunned for a while, Austin said, "It might not necessarily be a bad thing."

"How is it not bad?" Xuan Ze was about to lose his mind. At such a critical moment, such a big issue had arisen.

Austin: "Keep the mystery, as for the city publicity, let’s just not run it. Just cancel it outright since we never promised it, so let’s completely drop it."

Xuan Ze, "You need to think this through. Our New Year films are released on New Year’s Day. We’re trying to survive in the cracks. Let’s not be too optimistic, okay, young man?"

Austin: "...I’m not being optimistic. Bo Yan’s influence is already strong enough. Although the film’s theme is somewhat niche and might not get the best box office, my intuition tells me."

Xuan Ze, "Hold on, hold on. Since when did you become so superstitious? You actually don’t believe in data and trust your intuition?"

Duan Chen couldn’t hold back and laughed, "I think, you two can argue endlessly without concrete content. How about this, let’s listen to Austin. Just give up running the publicity and use advertising to promote it;

I’ll go buy ads with major influencers and some prominent bloggers to help promote;

Austin will continue to follow up with the second wave of trailers. Since we can’t run publicity and fans won’t see the actors, naturally they will hope for more plot revelations,

We can release some behind-the-scenes snippets. Austin will coordinate these, and I’ll handle the ads with various influencers. As for Xuan Ze, you can see to your own matters,

Just one requirement, don’t be too gossipy. Of course, if you find yourself with nothing to do, you might help us out by checking on the pregnant woman.

Consider it a gesture of comfort from the crew."

Xuan Ze: "...In your eyes, Duan Chen, am I only capable of doing such things?"

Duan Chen shrugged, "Of course, you’re too precious. You’re the director."

Austin snickered, his shoulders trembling slightly, "That’s right, so as a representative, Xuan Ze, go and see Yuran. It’s a gesture of goodwill. We have high hopes for the potential of this film, and even if we lose the film we use as a bargaining chip, it doesn’t matter."

RSM, the utterly defeated RSM, doesn’t hold any allure now. The only reason we’re not giving up is because Tang Wan and Xuan Che have put their hearts into it.

And that’s all there is to it.

...

The first trailer for "Glory" was five and a half minutes long, condensing the most exciting details within.

When the second trailer came out, it gave off a grand yet melancholic and soul-stirring vibe.

Both trailers garnered a lot of attention, easily ousting the long-standing number one and becoming the top trend.

Duan Chen’s plan for the first step was very steady.

Several batches of still photos were also successively released.

Yuran was a newcomer with a significant following. Her thrilling acting skills were a major support.

Newcomers generally lack in acting skills; the competition is more about who is more natural, skilled, and talented, but Yuran’s portrayal of Tang Wan did not seem like it was played by a newcomer.

It seemed more like...

In the words of the audience, it seemed tailor-made.

The life of Tang Wan was incredibly legendary, and the reason no one dared to turn it into a movie for many years was mainly for fear of destroying the beauty in the fans’ minds.

And also... for fear of being cursed by the audience.

However, after the "Glory" trailer was released, those worries vanished completely, though there was still some skepticism.

But this skepticism was quite reasonable.

Most concerns were about whether Yuran, being young, could portray Tang Wan’s dignified and graceful demeanor.

Noble and reserved.

In the personal segment of the promotional video, there was a wave by RSM — a short personal edit of Yuran, not long, just ten seconds.

But in that mere ten seconds, it was enough to make her unforgettable, showing Tang Wan in her middle age, after Xuan Che had died.

Dressed in desolation, unscathed by the years, still beautiful, but without Xuan Che by her side.

The scene with the rainy years became poignant and sad, accentuated by her figure.

The audience was ecstatic.

[Yuran’s acting is like some kind of divine power! When I saw her standing on the town’s bridge, just her silhouette made me nearly cry.]

[She has a divine figure, and in the cheongsam, she really resembles Tang Wan.]

[I’m kind of looking forward to the release of "Glory." Isn’t "Glory" having a premiere?]

[It’s said there won’t be a premiere, just a direct release, which has us anxious folks in utter distress.]

[In the second trailer, I was dazzled by Bo Yan, and Yuran, in the first trailer, I thought I was already amazed, but it turns out there wasn’t the most dazzling, only more dazzling.]

[Bo Yan and the rookie Yuran have a pretty strong CP vibe, and there’s even a kissing scene...]

...

Similar discussions were countless. This operation by RSM was unprecedented, and not only that, many well-known influencers also shared the "Glory" trailer.

RSM’s official website and its stars shared it too; it’s not the first time it caught fire before airing. Though the prospects looked promising, Austin and the others dared not take it lightly.

Xuan Ze returned to the company from the Bo Family old mansion, and both Austin and Duan Chen stopped their work. "Why do you look so downhearted? Did Yuran fake a pregnancy to deceive your feelings?"

Xuan Ze gestured in front of him, "With a belly this big, who could she deceive?

Bo Yan truly overturned my usual perceptions. You guys don’t know what he’s like at home..."

Austin seemed interested, "Do tell, I’m kind of curious."

"Tsk tsk..." Xuan Ze sighed. "Who in the industry would have thought Bo Yan liked a woman and would serve her tea and water so cautiously? I would have laughed in their face;

Seeing it with my own eyes, indeed he is different from others. He almost treats Yuran like a Bodhisattva."

Austin stroked his chin, a bit amused. "Who would have expected that Bo Yan, a great actor, would marry so soon and have a child, and the key is that these two’s confidentiality has been too good."

Xuan Ze scoffed. "You didn’t ask around about what Bo Yan’s status is. Acting is just a hobby, otherwise he would just go home to inherit his billions."

Duan Chen, "This speech sounds so familiar."

Austin laughed heartily, "Hahaha... If Bo Yan heard you talking about him like this, have you thought about your consequences?"

Duan Chen, "Not many in the industry know, and even if they do, indeed they wouldn’t dare to casually spread rumors about Bo Yan, let alone mention the Bo family’s power, plus the unique contract tailored for him at Diyang, which will keep people busy,"

in the industry, Diyang is a colossal entity; who can afford to provoke them?"

Xuan Ze laughed it off, "Let’s keep out of these matters, it’s definitely the right move; otherwise it’ll be too much to handle. Yuran’s career path, I guess, will be as I anticipated: bear a child, and amass quietly."
