Chapter 316 Framework
As expected, Jinling University's graduation ceremony made headlines in major mainstream media outlets in the days that followed.
However, the media reports were unusually positive and official, with the entire article being a high-profile news story about "Outstanding young entrepreneur Li Feng's deep affection for his alma mater, generously donating 200 million to establish the 'Fang Feng Scholarship' to support the development of key national scientific research disciplines."
As for the debate at the press conference about the allocation of arts and sciences, it was cleverly glossed over in the official press release, and not a single word of the female student Wang Jiahui's vehement public questioning appeared in the newspapers.
In this public sphere, heavily reshaped by capital and power, what the public can ever see is the decency and harmony that those in power allow them to see.
……
Inside the president's office at the headquarters of Haofeng Group.
"Boss, this is a summary of the data from the first week of the open beta of the PC game 'Moonlight Blade' in China."
Chief Secretary Zhang Yuxi tiptoed to the table and handed over a data sheet.
"According to the data from the game department, the number of concurrent users exceeded 800,000 in the first week! The game department did calculations overnight, and the revenue for the first month is conservatively estimated to reach 500 million RMB!"
"Old Chen says that based on this growth curve, *Tianya Mingyue Dao* has a very good chance of dethroning *World of Warcraft* from its throne as the king of MMORPGs in China this year and becoming the new PC game champion!"
Hearing these numbers that would drive any game developer crazy, Li Feng simply gave a faint "hmm," his face showing little emotion.
The advanced art style and light-footwork system of "Tianya Mingyue Dao" are unmatched in this era.
However, compared to PC games, he is now focusing more of his energy on mobile games and semiconductor development.
"By the way," Li Feng asked casually.
"That little girl who jumped out at the ceremony that day...did she cause any trouble for anyone?"
Zhang Yuxi's expression shifted slightly, and she replied:
"Don't worry, boss. I made a special trip to talk to them, and the school has already smoothed things over."
"However, that girl was really unruly. Should the group intervene and blacklist her from all local job postings in Nanjing to teach her a lesson?"
"Nonsense." Li Feng's face darkened.
"I...boss, I was wrong! I didn't think it through!"
Zhang Yuxi quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Li Feng beckoned to her: "Come here."
Zhang Yuxi obediently walked over and softly sat down in the boss's lap.
Li Feng grabbed her waist and skillfully pulled open her hem.
Feeling the woman trembling slightly and her breathing becoming heavier in his arms, Li Feng began the work while calmly instructing her:
"Yu Xi, remember this. The most important thing for us in business is—vision."
"In such a public setting, when a young liberal arts student makes a few naive remarks out of his passion, it's at most a clash of egos over direction."
"But if we really hold onto this little thing and ruin someone's livelihood, outsiders will only think that our Haofeng Group is petty and can't even tolerate a female student."
Li Feng applied slight pressure with his large hand, causing Zhang Yuxi in his arms to let out a soft moan.
"We're in business to make money, not to be bullies. Do you understand?"
"Yu Xi understands... It's because Yu Xi's vision is too shallow. I will definitely change in the future. Please punish me, boss..." Zhang Yu Xi hugged Li Feng's neck, her breath sweet and fragrant, her eyes full of submissive submission.
……
Unlike the vibrant gaming industry brought about by Tianya Mingyue Dao (天涯明月刀), the domestic film and television industry is currently stagnant and lifeless.
The storm came without warning, yet it was devastating.
As the official stance on restricting the Korean Wave becomes increasingly stringent behind the scenes, the entire Chinese entertainment industry has undergone a brutal reshuffle this summer.
The first to be affected is Tencent Video, which had previously been the most aggressive in poaching talent and had invested heavily in the Korean Wave market!
More than a dozen co-production dramas have all been halted!
The bad news is being repeatedly spread in various news groups within the film and television industry.
The S+ level production "Jade Lovers," starring Angelababy and South Korean actor Lee Jong-suk, which is heavily promoted by Tencent Video, was ordered by the production studio to suspend filming indefinitely yesterday afternoon.
Another Qing Dynasty epic, "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes," starring Li Moufeng and South Korean actress Park Min-young, was also locked in the warehouse, unable to even release a trailer that passed censorship!
Moreover, the dozens of popular Korean dramas that Tencent Video spent a lot of money to buy out for distribution have now become a hot potato, and their business team is privately begging and pleading to resell them at a low price to recoup their losses.
Korean stars can't be used, Korean dramas can't be broadcast, and even Sino-Korean co-productions are all blocked...
The entire Chinese entertainment industry suddenly became terrified of anything related to South Korea.
Countless traditional film and television companies that originally hoped to make money by hiring Korean oppas at high prices have lost everything in the face of this natural and man-made disaster.
At this point, everyone looks back at Haofeng Pictures, which years ago sold the exclusive online broadcasting rights of the two ratings hit dramas, "My Love from the Star" and "The Heirs," to Tencent for a staggering 200 million yuan...
Most people in the industry have realized what's going on.
At the time, everyone was laughing at Mr. Li, saying that he was short of money in the semiconductor industry, so he sold the goose that laid the golden eggs.
In retrospect, they were farsighted and planned ahead!
……
Just when the outside world was on edge and the entire industry was in a capital winter.
Haofeng Pictures' low-key official announcement once again demonstrated to the world what it means to be a film and television giant with composure.
[Welcome back Yang Mi! Filming for the epic fantasy drama "Eternal Love," starring Yang Mi, wrapped today. She will then return to Tsinghua and Peking Universities to focus on writing and defending her master's thesis. @HaofengFilm]
The accompanying image is a poster of Yang Mi dressed in white, looking ethereal as the goddess Bai Qian.
Shortly after, Yang Mi herself updated her Weibo account.
The photo shows a neatly arranged list of credits for courses from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, as well as a thick stack of graduation theses.
@YangMi: [Thank you to Mr. Tang Qi for his kindness in specifically asking me to play Bai Qian. I had to temporarily suspend my studies to return to the set and film. Now, mission accomplished, back to student life! Tsinghua and Peking University, I'm back! [Striving][Striving]]
This public relations move not only preserved her image as a top-performing female celebrity, but also demonstrated to the entire internet: My delayed graduation was not due to my poor academic performance!
It was purely because the original author couldn't do without me that I made this sacrifice for the sake of art!
In the comments section, fans were so moved they were confused, showering her with praise like "Sister is amazing," "The leading lady," and "She manages to balance her career and studies."
Behind this glamorous facade, the truth of the story is far more fascinating than what the fans know.
What do you mean by "meticulously crafted over half a year"? That's all bullshit!
Less than half a month after giving birth to Li Maoqing, Yang Mi, whose body had not fully recovered, joined the film crew under the influence of a sense of crisis.
From the start of filming to the end, she only stayed on set for fifty-five days!
The reason she came in such a hurry was because she desperately needed to do something to solidify her small group!
In the case of "Three Lives Three Worlds", she not only personally promoted Dilraba and generated buzz in the production team, but also gave Lao Han a heads-up in advance, securing the lead role in the sequel for Dilraba.
As for Nazha, she naturally didn't neglect her either. In the costume drama "The Legend of Dugu," which is scheduled to start filming next year, Yang Mi will lower her status and play the second female lead, Dugu Banruo, to help Nazha gain recognition.
This is a necessary sacrifice!
She must have at least one top-tier new generation celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry under her command.
Since Song Qian and Zhu Xudan have been repeatedly proven to have no chance of reaching the top, the two from Xinjiang are naturally the most likely to succeed her.
As for the crew, will anyone be so talkative as to expose the truth?
Just kidding, this is a production crew wholly funded by Haofeng!
From the director to the producer, even the filming location, Xiapi Film City, is their own territory.
Who dares to jump out and utter even half a shout?
