Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 604 - 602: Unwritten Rules [Fourth Update]

The bigwigs of the showbiz circle had been made fools of, but there was one person who was exploding with excitement!

"Hahaha! Xiaobu Young Master is freaking amazing! Amazing!!"

Station Head Nie was hopping around his office like an overgrown kid!

Who knows how much pressure he’s been under these last few days!

Especially after deciding to just let things fall apart, he was even prepared to pack up and leave!

And then, what seemed like an insurmountable problem to him was so easily solved by Xiaobu Young Master!

Tell me, isn’t Lu Xiaobu—no, Xiaobu Young Master—awesome or what!?

He’s 10,000 percent awesome!

Whoever dares to say Xiaobu Young Master isn’t awesome, I’ll fight them to the bitter end!

...

Lu Xiaobu had also received the notification, but he just smirked faintly, not taking it to heart.

This was merely an appetizer, not worth fussing over!

Today is already Thursday, and tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle!

So, the focus is still on "Bright Sword"!

...

Just like Lu Xiaobu was thinking.

The bigwigs of the showbiz circle felt the same.

"Forget it, let’s move past this!"

"Exactly, Lu Xiaobu’s ’Bright Sword’ premieres tomorrow! How is your ’Youth Never Falls Behind’ doing?"

"That’s right, this is the real showdown, so say what you need! This time we must crush Lu Xiaobu!"

"Yes, yes! Let’s all stand united, speak up about whatever you need!"

"For our own dignity, we must succeed!"

"..."

And so, that very night, the internet began an overwhelming promotional campaign!

Major movie and television companies even put aside the dramas they were promoting and threw all their resources behind "Youth Never Falls Behind"!

At their level, sometimes the battle for face is almost the same as the battle for interest!

After all, sometimes face is interest!

And their actions caused a sensational visual impact!

For a while, the entire internet, other than the official channels for "Bright Sword," was flooded with promotions for "Youth Never Falls Behind"!

The film and television companies were exerting their full power, and so the actors had to do their best, too.

So, the young fresh meat leads were also vigorously promoting among their fans!

Of course, they didn’t forget to sling mud at Lu Xiaobu.

Tang Aihui: "Please support ’Youth Never Falls Behind,’ and stay rational about certain clearly deceptive actions."

Jin Xiaodong: "’Youth Never Falls Behind’ is definitely a rare good drama, you won’t regret it!"

Yi Junyi: "I would like to remind certain unscrupulous merchants, just await the investigation obediently. Right is right, wrong is wrong, don’t even think about causing a ruckus!"

Seeing these young fresh meat actors come out.

Their fans immediately erupted with tremendous enthusiasm.

"My husbands, I will!"

"Definitely support! 100% support!"

"I won’t miss a single episode!"

"Yes, absolutely!"

"I absolutely won’t watch Lu Xiaobu’s ridiculous patriotic dramas! Yes, my boyfriend won’t let me either!"

"That’s right, why watch a ridiculous patriotic drama, watching it means not loving me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this time we must form a united front, we can’t be fooled by Lu Xiaobu!"

"..."

The public opinion online was completely one-sided.

And that’s not even the end of it!

You should know, the film and television companies came with the attitude of crushing Lu Xiaobu once and for all, so how could they be content with just these moves?!

So they bought viewer ratings, yes, you’re not seeing things, they actually bought ratings!

Bought barrage comments, yes, that can be bought too!

Bought reviews, needless to say!

They even straight-up ordered the three young fresh meat actors: "Go, accompany drinks tonight!"

That’s right, you read that correctly, accompany drinks.

This era is no longer like the old days!

In the past, it was beautiful women who accompanied drinks, but now, it’s mostly male actors, the fresh meats!

And not even a single woman can show up!

Because, the housekeepers are mostly middle-aged women!

...

And while the film and television companies were deploying all sorts of overt and covert tactics, Lu Xiaobu’s side was still diligently refining, looking for bugs, reshooting, post-producing, selecting soundtracks, and so on!

They were continuously meticulously cultivating, striving for absolute perfection!

Chen Feiyang, after all, was a veteran of the film industry, so he’d heard about the movie companies’ moves.

"Young Master, all these tactics have come out, do we—"

Chen Feiyang asked tentatively.

To be honest, these kinds of tactics were actually unspoken rules in the film industry; everyone knew them very well!

Even TV stations, when purchasing dramas, would start by giving fifty out of one hundred and fifty million; this fifty million was for you to spend.

If the ratings were met, sure, you’d get the other one hundred million, if not, you could forget about that one hundred million!

Of course, he also knew that Xiaobu Young Master would definitely disdain such tactics.

However, since the film companies that originally had more clout had already used them ahead of time, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for them to also use them, right?

Station Head Nie had also phoned him, suggesting the same thing.

Thus, he was inquiring.

"Tactics? No need! That would be an insult to the drama!"

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, effectively crushing Chen Feiyang’s idea completely!

He said he would overturn the heavens here!

If he wanted to overturn them, then he couldn’t blend in, otherwise, what right did he have to say this!

"Alright."

Chen Feiyang said helplessly.

He wasn’t all that surprised, it was within his expectations.

Well, hope... no, that’s not right, "Bright Sword" is definitely going to make a name for itself, a legendary one to boot!

Certainly!

"Oh, by the way, go and gather as much evidence as you can in that area, take Li Jin with you."

Lu Xiaobu suddenly spoke again, making arrangements.

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feiyang sharply inhaled, "Xiaobu Young Master, are you planning to..."

"I’ve said before, I want to overturn the heavens here! Do you think my goal is just ’Bright Sword’? That’s just the beginning!"

Lu Xiaobu let out a cold laugh, a highly aggressive look flashing in his normally lazy eyes!

Typically, this look only appeared when Lu Xiaobu looked at girls!

But now, it appeared here!

This time he isn’t conquering beauties, but the era itself!

To make the film industry exist under his command!

Just like the current esports industry!

The esports industry, he founded it, he controls it!

As for the film industry, he will do it, he will overthrow it, and then rebuild it!

Others may not, he, can!

Others may not dare, he, dares!

It’s time for this murky sky to return to a clear and bright universe!
