My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 612: Late Retribution 20

"I originally thought that a mixed-race actress playing a demon during the Republic of China would feel quite discordant, and I was really worried when the casting was announced, but it turns out the million-dollar post-production wasn’t too bad."

"I agree with the view above, kudos for the million-dollar post-production, Catherine’s charm indeed is hard to replicate."

"’Miss Rose’ delayed filming so much, I didn’t expect the promo to come out even before ’City of Temptation.’ After Mr. Xiaoxi’s incident, has Huanya given up on ’City of Temptation’ or what?"

"Is the floor above confused about the ownership of ’City of Temptation’? Didn’t they say before? Before Mr. Xiaoxi’s incident, he got the rights and then handed the post-production over entirely to Diyang for editing. Compared to ’Miss Rose’s’ big show, I prefer the unexpected and settled ’City of Temptation.’

Who knows, when ’City of Temptation’ comes out, it might just surprise us all, so don’t be so downhearted. I still stand by Director Situ’s abilities."

"Heh... the floor above must be a shill for ’City of Temptation.’"

"Exactly, the efficiency of ’Miss Rose’ is there for all to see, but look at the attitude towards ’City of Temptation,’ seriously, I’m embarrassed to even talk about it."

"Although Yuran is Bo Yan’s beloved wife, and they are quite high-profile, I think Bo Yan is also unlucky, ever since their marriage went public, he’s been nothing but a house husband."

"The comment above is a bit too much, isn’t it? Even if Bo Yan is a house husband, he’s a wealthy house husband with good looks and a great body. What about you? What’s with the sour grapes here?"

"Enough with the personal attacks from fake fans. Can we stop praising ’Miss Rose’ while putting others down? The ulterior motives of steering the conversation are a bit too strong."

"Exactly, it’s not even released yet, I don’t know what ’Rose’ side is showing off about. Yuran’s acting skills are there for all to see, okay? She won an award for a movie right away, and those who are only good at talking, looking down on this and that, should try winning an award themselves for a change."

"Let’s be fair, if the official ’City of Temptation’ account was so confident, they’d have refuted ’Rose’s’ move by now. If not, it just proves the netizens’ speculations are correct. I don’t know whether to call those defending ’City of Temptation’ naive or foolish;

defending ’City of Temptation’ here, will ’City of Temptation’ throw money at you? I can’t even."

Because of the ’Miss Rose’ promo, those betting agreements are being rehashed online, escalating the attack range, but the overall trend is still civilized, at least there are no screens full of reproductive organs. Situ Jue looked at the online trends and felt some restless ideas bubbling up.

He made a call to Bo Yan, "I’ve got an idea, not sure if it’s appropriate to say."

"Fire away."

Bo Yan was succinct.

Situ Jue hesitated, not really wanting to continue, but thinking of the upcoming heatwave, he thought it could be a salvageable situation, "Everyone’s mocking us, saying Diyang is short on cash. I don’t think we should let that go unanswered. Is Diyang the kind of company that lacks money? We’re loaded, okay?"

On the financial accounts, if they were short of money, Diyang’s boss would have nowhere to launder money.

"What do you want to do?"

Situ Jue cleared his throat, "I’ve got a small, immature idea. For the netizens supporting Diyang, send out a gift, like premiere tickets, as well as red envelopes, gifts and the like. We can draw three lucky Koi to travel the world to twenty countries, with expenses paid by Diyang, of course—it only covers accommodation and flights, not shopping. Just give them a hundred thousand in cash upfront for each city, and any overspending is on them. I can draft up a gift list for you."

Bo Yan, "Such a trivial matter, just decide yourself."

Upon hearing this, Situ Jue took it as an agreement, smiling, "Great, I’ll get my assistant on it right away." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The day ’Miss Rose’ was hyped up the most, Diyang’s official account unapologetically slapped back.

Diyang Headquarters V: Heard we’re short on cash? Sorry, let me introduce you to our wealth.

Here’s an event, see below, a thank-you for supporting Diyang fans;

Three grand prize Koi,

Prize: Tour of twenty countries around the world, 2 million in prize money, deposited in one lump sum [Note: includes plane tickets, accommodations, and travel fund]

Ten first prize Koi:

Prize: 1 million in prize money, deposited in one lump sum [Note: can be exchanged for real estate, jewelry, gold, etc., of equivalent value]

One hundred second prize Koi:

Prize: 500,000 in prize money, deposited in one lump sum [Note: can be exchanged for real estate, jewelry, gold, etc., of equivalent value]

One thousand third prize Koi:

Prize: 100,000 in cash, deposited in one lump sum [Note: can be exchanged for real estate, jewelry, gold, etc., of equivalent value]

Ten thousand lucky Koi:

Prize: A snack gift package, one ticket to the premiere of "City of Temptation."

All the above prizes will be drawn from those who praise and support "City of Temptation." Keep up the hard work, and good luck on becoming Diyang’s Little Koi!

As soon as the Diyang official blog posted, Diyang’s artists, Diyang Media, as well as Yuran and Bo Yan followed suit in sharing it, this move shot Diyang the extravagant tycoon right up to the trending searches. Conservatively estimated, this damn thing costs over hundreds of millions. How could they afford that?

Some netizens were mocking the press releases for "Rose."

"Tsk, does it hurt—your face? They just said we couldn’t get money from Diyang, and there they go, throwing money right away, ostentatiously and uniquely at that. Are you not impressed? If Huanya has the guts to buy press releases to trample on ’City of Temptation,’ then damn it, why don’t they come up with an event that even surpasses Diyang’s?"

"Diyang’s move this time is 666 (awesome). I have to hurry up and leave a comment, enter the draw, and lavish praise on ’City of Temptation.’ I must heap on praise until it blooms into a flower."

"From Diyang’s event, I saw shining coins, almost went blind, but big love to Diyang for holding a raffle for the fans, they’re never stingy, truly rich and super lavish."

Then came the server-crashing traffic on the official blog, all sorts of over-the-top, rainbow-fart praises for "City of Temptation"—fake, very fake.

But the fervor stole the spotlight from "Rose" in an instant.

Not only that, but it also took a harsh dig at "Rose," leaving people feeling that Huanya was miserly, tight-fisted, and too talkative.

Look at Diyang: less talk, more money, and generous to a fault. They’re always holding lotteries, and every time they draw, they splash out money. Each splash involves hundreds of millions; this is the time when capital competes to show who’s more extravagant. When it comes to wealth, Diyang has never lost.

After reposting the Diyang official blog at home, Yuran exclaimed, "Brother Qi, this must be several hundred million, you guys..."

Without batting an eyelid, Bo Yan replied, "It’s alright, we will make the money back soon. Otherwise, what’s the point of Diyang having so many artists? Diyang has many investment projects, not limited to the entertainment industry, so this amount of money is still within our means."

Yuran: "..."

Talking with rich people is really annoying, but the effect is indeed top-notch.

Now, the buzz that the crew of "Rose" plotted and schemed for might just go down the drain.

All hail Diyang.
