Chapter 907: 906. The promotion begins
G: The Chatty Little Cheapskate
It’s like a prank option, seemingly added just to complete the first row of the alphabet.
The quiz creator was then teased by netizens in various ways, with so even comnting, “If the male lead is G, I could live stream a handstand/costu change,” and so on.
The content of the live streams was diverse and plentiful.
Other netizens probably just watched and laughed it off, but insiders at the production crew watched these operations with odd expressions on their faces.
“Is this so kind of divine prophecy?”
“Only 58 people picked G?”
“Have to admire the creativity of netizens, any one of them could be a scriptwriter—”
“By the way, did the plot accidentally get leaked? Are we sure everyone has signed a confidentiality agreent?”
“This option doesn’t seem very popular. Could it affect the box office? I’m not so sure now.”
The staff looked at each other, while they had already received the approved complete movie, waiting for investors to discuss the screening ratios with various cinemas.
Director Qi was not worried at all, speaking from his experience in cody, the greater the contrast, the more the audience finds the unexpected ending appealing.
The production crew mbers mostly fell into silence, feeling as if they had just grasped the slly ankles of the king of cody.
“What, stinky ankles? What kind of lousy taphor is that!”
Director Qi almost exploded from such a rhetorical thod, “You’ve been with for so long, how have you not picked up even a bit of humor? This is art, art!”
The others quickly placated him, “Director, aren’t we just complinting you? See, we even compared you to the king of cody, right?”
As for the question of whether the ankles stink… don’t you have the slightest clue in your heart, Director?
“That’s more like it.”
Unable to comprehend the inner workings of his subordinates yet successfully appeased, Director Qi took the burned copy of the film and personally delivered it to Starshine dia, feeling as if the film he was holding was his entire world.
“Isn’t it his whole world indeed? The amount of money he initially invested in the project ca directly from Director Qi’s own pocket.”
A knowledgeable crew mber said, “This shows just how much Director Qi loves this movie.”
“Wait… he funded it out of his own pocket? Didn’t Director Qi get married, does he still have pocket money?”
“I really need to give a good talk about this…”
While the crew’s conversation went off on a tangent, Director Qi had already entered the doors of Starshine dia and was sitting in Luo Lin’s office.
“As the biggest investor of ‘Easy Rule Jianghu 2’, this ti negotiating the screening arrangents relies on you, President Luo.”
“Director Qi, rest assured, we will coordinate with you, and everything will be arranged according to your plan.”
Starshine dia was the biggest investor of this cody movie, but not the only one, the rest of the contributions were small but everyone still had to put in an effort.
Which investor doesn’t want to earn as much as possible? To achieve this ultimate goal, maximal effort is necessary!
After Luo Lin readily agreed, she and representatives from two other companies followed Director Qi on the negotiation journey.

When Tang Shu received the business performance schedule sent by Luo Lin on the 10th, she was filming the final scenes of ‘Typhoon’.
On the set, a woman wearing a bright cheongsam, with slightly curled hair covered in dust, had several scratches on her beautiful face from sothing sharp, yet this made her appear even more lively.
Behind her lay the chaos of war, where a road seemingly with hundreds of years of history was bombed beyond recognition, with two groups of people facing off beneath a building.
As a dialogue unfolded, almost everyone on the scene was imrsed in sorrow.
“Cut—”
Behind the cara, Xie Yunqing sighed with relief and looked up at Tang Shu with a complicated gaze.
“Alright, that’s a wrap for the final scene. You guys go touch up your makeup, and later we’ll all take a group photo together and find a place to celebrate tonight.”
Normally, everyone in the crew would shout “Oye” and celebrate noisily, but today was particularly different, as everyone remained engrossed in the scene they just fild and couldn’t snap out of it.
Tang Shu turned out to be the one with the best ntal composure; hearing the familiar “cut”, she instantly retracted her sorrow, gently pinched the corner of her cheongsam to facilitate walking, and leisurely headed towards Yang Tiantian.
“Get a glass of water first, I’m dying of thirst. Is it unusually hot today?”
Yang Tiantian sniffled a bit, and despite trying to hold back, her defenses broke down, “Waah—”
Holding the glass, Tang Shu was startled by the sudden crying and almost choked on her drink.
“What’s wrong, who bullied you?”
“It’s just too painful, how could Director Xie do this, how could he let you die at the end? Waaah~~~~~”
“….”
Tang Shu quickly replenished her hydration and fled into the adjacent makeup room.
Not only Yang Tiantian, but nearly everyone on the set beca tearful upon hearing her complaint, and they all cast blaming glances towards Director Xie since the general direction of the story was solely his idea.
Of course, the screenwriter sitting next to him was also a major player; who asked him to write such an emotionally provocative final dialogue between the male and female leads?
Xie Yunqing stiffened his body, bearing all the weight on his shoulders.
As everyone gradually pulled themselves out of the prior sorrowful emotions and busied themselves, the renowned director let out another sigh of relief.
“I think… Tang Shu’s acting skills are kind of frightening now.”
Honestly, he had been completely drawn into the story earlier, as if experiencing soone else’s life.
The adjacent screenwriter thoughtfully nodded, “It seems she has learned quite a bit in the drama club this past year, almost like a seasoned actor.”
“Don’t you think her progress is too rapid?”
This is monstrous!
“She is very talented,” said the screenwriter.

“Easy Rule Jianghu 2” has entered its promotional phase, frequently making its presence felt in the news.
Following Luo Lin’s schedule, Tang Shu had organized her own ti appropriately, currently focusing most of her energy on promotion as she has no filming tasks.
The schedule at the drama club is quite fixed; the frequency of performances is now less intense than before.
When the project at Imperial dical College officially comnced, Professor Yu specifically sent her an email detailing the research direction regarding the Full Moon Plant.
“I have finished your reports, well done.”
The old-fashioned telephone transmitted Professor Yu’s voice, “How co you researched this all by yourself for so long? I’ve been studying these reports for several days.”
