Chapter 214: The Battle for Popularity

"What did you say?" General Manager Ye asked in surprise.

"I said, I'm going to propose to Bai Ling."

Ju Zisheng repeated what he had just said. His tone was very determined.

"Think it over clearly. This matter is not that simple." General Manager Ye sounded a little angry. He did not want these two people to cause any more trouble for him.

"I've thought it over clearly. Didn't we have a concert after we returned to the country? I plan to propose to Bai Ling during the concert."

"And then?"

"Are you crazy? If you do this..."

The leader on the other side of the video wanted to stop Ju Zisheng, but General Manager Ye raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Let him continue." General Manager Ye signaled.

"I believe that with my acting skills and strength, I will definitely be able to arrange a grand and romantic proposal ceremony." Ju Zisheng said.

"Fans actually like this sort of thing." Ju Zisheng curled up his lips slightly. "Actually, they dream of seeing their favorite idols propose or be proposed to. This way, they will feel like they are the ones involved in the proposal."

"On that day, the company can invite all the media to broadcast this live."

"Positive or negative reports are acceptable. The headlines can be as eye-catching as possible."

"Rather than saying this is a proposal, it's more like a real battle for popularity."

General Manager Ye asked in puzzlement, "Why do you want to do this?"

Ju Zisheng put away his signature smile and said, "I've caused the company so much trouble. Of course, I will personally help the company solve this problem. You also know that this news must have been spread by our competitors. Their goal is to break the image of the golden boy and the jade girl in the hearts of the fans."

"Then why not fulfill their wishes? By the way, we can blow this thing up and take the initiative in our own hands. In this case, the matter is likely to develop in a favorable direction for us. Isn't that so?"

General Manager Ye thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Do you have any plans?"

"Old Ye, will this really work?" The company's senior management asked in the video.

This was undoubtedly a gamble. If the public opinion in the market was not within their control, it was very likely that they would fall into a pitfall. They might even cause a very bad influence to this incident.

There were also many successful cases in the past. Of course, there were more failures. There were cases where after a proposal, the person was unable to gain a foothold in the entertainment circle.

"I think there is a risk in doing this. Although the operations department has the strength to make a good enough proposal scene, but..." The operations department colleague suddenly hesitated.

"But what? Say it."

The company's senior management was a little impatient. He did not like people who were stuttering. This matter was extremely serious. He only hoped that it could be solved cleanly and quickly.

"I think the risk of doing this is still too great. I still suggest that we hide the two of them and promote other outstanding artists." The operations department colleague paused for a moment and continued.

General Manager Ye suddenly said, "Do you think there is anyone more suitable to be the face of this company?" He questioned the operations department colleague. His tone was a little serious.

"Do you have any good candidates? Can you guarantee that they will be able to take on this responsibility? Can you guarantee that after they are promoted, the market will recognize them and the fans will agree? Will the fans like them and be willing to pay for them?"

General Manager Ye's questions shot towards the operations department colleague like a cannon.

"Er, General Manager Ye..." The operations department colleague was unable to get a word in. He could only stutter in response.

"I know. Your operations department has a conflict with them. Due to their rising popularity, it has led to an increase in the workload and difficulty of the operations department. However, this cannot be the reason for you to hide two popular artists just because of this incident."

General Manager Ye did not want to pay attention to him. He impatiently turned his head and looked at Ju Zisheng.

The basis for an artist to survive relied on the market and the fans.

Rather than cultivating new artists and building a new market and fan base, it was better to maintain the existing fan base. This huge fan base was like an aircraft carrier.

It was obvious that General Manager Ye was referring to the new music genius Bai Ling and the young actor Ju Zisheng.

"I think your plan is very good." General Manager Ye turned to Ju Zisheng and said.

"Thank you, General Manager Ye."

"Do you have any detailed plans? Or have you thought about this for a long time?" General Manager Ye's eyes suddenly became a little strange. He sized Ju Zisheng up and down. He felt that Ju Zisheng had long prepared to confess his feelings to Bai Ling during the concert.

"No, no, General Manager Ye." Ju Zisheng denied.

"I just promised her before that I would give her a proper name. This incident happens to be very serious, so I came up with such a solution."

"Okay, tell me your plan. Have you thought about it?" General Manager Ye let out a sigh of relief and continued.

"First, don't let Bai Ling know about this. We and the operations department colleagues will be in charge of the planning."

"In other words, we will arrange two scripts. One of the fake scripts is for Bai Ling to read. The other script is the real one that is being carried out.

On the day of the concert, Bai Ling's reaction and the effects of the scene will be the most real and direct."

"Only in this way will the fans have a more real sense of immersion. The effects will also be better."

"Do we need to spread the news before this?" General Manager Ye asked a question. As he listened to Ju Zisheng, he wrote something down in his notebook.

"Don't spread any news. However, we can arrange for the media to broadcast or rebroadcast it. Then, we can ask them to sign a confidentiality contract and not reveal any news."

"Let this matter ferment before your confession, right?"

"Yes, you are worthy of being a gold medal agent."

"And then?"

"On the day of the concert, the first half will proceed normally. Of course, it will only proceed normally on the surface. Secretly, everything will have to be ready, including the lights, flowers, and other materials to create the atmosphere."

"This is a given. There will definitely be no problem."

"At that time, I will personally appear and confess my feelings to Bai Ling. After that, I will formally propose to her. If the video is being rebroadcast, I estimate that the number of views will reach an unprecedented height."

"If such an intimate act occurs between two popular stars, it will probably be a big event that will shock the entire entertainment circle..."

"Yes, this is such a big event."

The two looked into each other's eyes and confirmed their feelings.

This time, it would be an unprecedented battle for popularity.
