Chapter 92

Sister Yanzi always felt Bai Liang's words were cryptic—no money? Just find a way to get some?

Can this kind of thing really be solved just by trying?

As an earnest, competent agent who also aspires to excellence, Sister Yanzi felt she had to remind her boss:

You can't go borrowing money from Miss just to buy trending topics and paid articles!

That would truly make you a kept man.

"Actually, there are ways that don't cost money," Bai Liang said after careful thought.

Sister Yanzi was incredulous: "What way?"

"Come on, cup your hands together."

"Mm-hmm, and then?"

"Then you pray to heaven. If you believe in some other god, that's fine too—don't film crews always worship Guan Gong before shooting? Want to grab two holy chalices and play around?"

Sister Yanzi:.......

"Oh come on, Brother Dou Xiao Bai, stop joking now."

"Alright, alright, no more jokes," Bai Liang snapped into seriousness—he deeply respected performers like Sister Yanzi who worked earnestly.

But right now, even a clever housewife couldn't cook without rice.

He couldn't borrow money, and surely he couldn't really go to Macau to visit Mr. He over this!

Then there was only one move left!

"Damn brat, little hoodlum, scoundrel, cheap bastard, always slacking off..."

Tang Ren Film & Television Company.

Chen Yao, listening to her boss curse, didn't dare utter a word, head bowed low.

But if Cai Yinong had crawled to the ground and looked up, she'd have noticed the girl was quietly smirking.

No way—this was the first time Chen Yao had ever heard her boss curse Bai Liang; she trembled.

The second time she heard her boss curse Bai Liang, Chen Yao was terrified.

The third time, she began to gradually let go of those negative emotions.

The fourth time... she started wondering if the words used this time were different.

The fifth time... Boss, aren't you tired? Have some water—yogurt's fine too.

The sixth time... hehe~

After waiting a while, Cai Yinong unsurprisingly grew tired of cursing, helplessly staring at Chen Yao, who cowered like a quail—this girl was just too honest! Give that brat some pressure!

"Have you contacted him lately? He should be in Shanghai, right?"

"Nope."

"Why not contact him?"

Chen Yao lifted her head, eyes confused, whispering softly: "Company policy forbids dating; too much contact with single male artists isn't allowed."

Cai Yinong:.......

Sure, that's what they say—but look at how the top female stars operate; which one of them actually takes this "ban" seriously?

With "The Wizard Without a Heart" now reaching its climax, marketing must ramp up hard.

The company never expected this web drama to become this popular; they'd mainly bet on the upcoming "Immortal Sword: Cloud of the Ordinary."

But since the reception is this good and word-of-mouth is so strong, and the leads are all on the table, failing to market this opportunity would be sheer waste.

But the old problem remained—Cai Yinong felt a prickly irritation every time she thought she'd have to work for free for Bai Liang again.

Little bastard...

Doesn't he want to become famous himself? Would a little marketing kill him?

The damn guy won't even spend money on one trending topic.

After getting angry again, Cai Yinong stared at the small trinket on her desk... a capybara-shaped weighted doll, metallic.

This was bought by Bai Liang and Chen Yao during a shopping trip last time—it was quite exquisite.

Upon receiving it, Cai Yinong's first thought was to throw it away.

After all, seeing it automatically reminded her of that annoying little brat.

But in the end, she kept it—and placed it prominently on her desk.

Now, seeing it again, she couldn't resist reaching out to nudge it—the doll wobbled, cute and silly.

It felt as if she could see Bai Liang smiling gratefully: "Sister Cai, you're such a good person~"

"Pfft~"

Cai Yinong couldn't help laughing—what a nutcase.

Then she immediately looked at Chen Yao, who wisely lowered her head at once.

"Cough, cough, forget it—this kid looks so poor... spend it, spend it—for your sake, spend it."

"Thank you, Boss Cai!" Chen Yao immediately offered the proper emotional value, making Cai Yinong feel even better.

She also felt relieved that Bai Liang was "tormenting" someone else—she didn't believe he could find another sucker!

How can an artist become famous if he has no marketing attitude? Does he expect heaven to feed him?

Sina Entertainment.

The female reporter Xiao Shui, who had once accidentally met Bai Liang and Chen Yao at a restaurant with her friend, now stared unblinkingly at online entertainment headlines.

What dramas had recently aired, what reactions they got, what scandals new stars had stirred up...

It was her job, and she was naturally interested in this field.

Of course, the biggest gossip was still Shuangzi's dominance, along with endless speculation and follow-ups about her exit from the "Weiyi" set.

Her breakup with boyfriend Hu Yanbing was messy; that song had been devastating.

Online, some people have already begun to mock Hu Yanbing as the Taylor Swift of China's entertainment industry.

The breakup with the "Wei Wei" production team was rather dignified.

Both sides issued statements: claiming that after contact, they found it unsuitable and so on… In short, there was no unpleasantness whatsoever.

In the end, the only ones who seemed "hurt" were Shuangzi and her unlucky ex-boyfriend.

But Xiao Shui was mainly focused on another matter: Shuangzi, still in a cast, was promoting "Wu Xin the Magician" on Weibo, even specifically praising the character Zhang Xianzong.

And without doubt, "Wu Xin the Magician" was the most dazzling dark horse among recently aired TV dramas.

Xiao Shui grinned as she changed her desktop wallpaper to a handsome still of Bai Liang:

"Hey, I'm really your fan, you know—next time you've got to give me a proper interview~"

With a tap, she uploaded a promotional interview draft she had long written and refined multiple times.

After finishing that, Xiao Shui also remembered to make several calls, asking people to boost traffic so more people could see it.

During this time, her colleagues passing by seemed to hear Xiao Shui cooing on the phone, saying something like: "Daddy~ please help me out~"

To become deputy chief editor so young—who doesn't have some connections and background?

Sohu Video.

Their actions were more conventional: they prominently featured "Wu Xin the Magician" on video platforms!

Every single viewer who entered had to see it.

Just after finishing all this, the person in charge suddenly received a call from above.

"The promotional campaign can be intensified further—this drama has received excellent reviews…"

All this content was nonsense; the most important part was the final sentence.

"Push the actor who plays Zhang Xianzong—give him more screen time and allocate resources toward him."

This request was a bit odd.

But the person handling this matter was still the same brother who had Bai Liang perform a "blessing" for his son.

Not only did he have the "blessing" connection, he even knew his own superior had a "connection" with the other party too.

Upon receiving this instruction, he had no hesitation—he just did it.

IG Esports Club.

"Principal, you and your friend's pro player registrations are complete—should the club issue an announcement?"

"Go ahead and post it. I'll retweet it later to boost some hype."

"Then you'll need to wear the team uniform and take a formal team photo."

"Then I'll contact Da Xian…"

Young Master Wang thought Bai Liang's move was truly brilliant—personally stepping in as a pro player, what a perfect gimmick!

But when he actually steps onto the field to play, he must think carefully—he can't rush it.

Otherwise, if he gets beaten badly and slinks off into "retirement," how embarrassing would that be?

He must win!

But that doesn't stop him from making some noise now—at least get into the top three trending topics?

Even if he has to buy his way in!

At this moment, Sister Yanzi, still huddled with Bai Liang in distress, suddenly twitched her ears. "Little White, I think I heard something."

Bai Liang grinned. "Was what you heard… the echo of great fortune?"
