There are only two months left before the Chinese New Year.

"The Wandering Earth" passed the review on the eighth day after it was submitted for review. After negotiating with the theaters about the release time and the number of films, the only thing left to do now is publicity work.

When Shaoyang started worrying about publicity work, Mingyu Media also posted the trailer of "Time Traveler 2" to multiple media platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo and so on without saying a word.

However, the account I used was neither Peng Ming's nor Mingyu Media's account, but I specifically applied for an official account for the movie "Time Traveler 2".

Peng Ming did this because he was afraid that his recent prosecution by Shao Yang would affect the publicity of this movie.

Due to the investment from Hughes Films and United Artists, the special effects shots in the second part of "Time Traveler 2" are obviously more expensive than those in the first part. However, it can only be seen from the trailer that the special effects are better than those in the first part.

One part is good, but nothing else is noticeable.

Lucas, the director of this film, did not think about making a second one when he was filming the first one.

The second part was entirely because the first part did well at the box office after its release, and Lucas wanted to make more money, so he hurriedly found a few screenwriters to come up with the script for the second part.

This situation often happens abroad, so American dramas often end up unfinished.

In fact, there is basically no connection between the plots of the second part of Time Traveler and the first part.

But when promoting it, Peng Ming still added the words that made Shao Yang very unhappy - a masterpiece of science fiction films.

In the first part, this sentence was used many times.

At that time, Shaoyang felt that the quality of the first film was not worthy of the words "a masterpiece that carries the tripod".

So after receiving the trailer of "The Wandering Earth", Shao Yang directly posted it to his Douyin account with the caption: "This is called a science fiction film!"

The two sci-fi movies were released at the beginning of the year, and now the trailers have been released one after another. Fans who have been waiting for a long time left comments after seeing the trailers.

The competition between the two movies began.

But with Yiyang's agent here, no matter how much money Peng Ming spent on advertising, it would be of no avail.

In just a few days, the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" has far exceeded that of "Time Traveler 2".

Peng Ming was also anxious.

He knew that the early promotion work of a movie had a great impact on the movie's box office, so he began to contact the brokerage companies that had joined the "Yangfan Film and Television Alliance" for help.

Although Huasheng Agency and Qingcao Entertainment have joined this so-called alliance, business is business after all. If you want me to help you promote it, there must be an exchange of interests. Otherwise, why should I help you?

Peng Ming had no choice but to pay them for help. In this way, the artists under these brokerage companies also began to help mention a few words about "Time Traveler 2" when they appeared on the show.

But Shaoyang didn't panic at all.

What’s the use of asking traffic celebrities to help you promote?

More than traffic?

Who in China has higher traffic than me?

This movie was directed and acted by Shao Yang, and this alone is enough to attract people.

Looking back on the past few years, although there are movies with Shao Yang as the screenwriter released every year, there are only a handful of movies in which Shao Yang has participated. Basically, Shao Yang only participated in movies in the first two years. Now after such a long time,

Shaoyang is finally acting again, and fans are naturally looking forward to it.

One month later.

Promotional pictures for the movie "The Wandering Earth" appeared on the roll-ups and billboards in the theater.

When everything was ready and waiting for "The Wandering Earth" to be released, good news came from Kimchi Country.

"Reply 1988" broke the ratings record of Kimchi Country TV series and became the most popular TV series in Kimchi Country this year.

Shao Yang seemed very calm when he heard the news, as if he had expected it. However, Shao Yang's reaction made the person in charge of Sy Pictures very puzzled. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be very excited after hearing this news? Why?

So peaceful?

Shao Yang didn't explain anything, he just asked him to contact Yiyang's agent and introduce the TV series into the country as soon as possible...

The twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month.

The day of Yiyang Brokers Annual Meeting.

Shaoyang did not participate in the past few years, but this year Shaoyang brought Xue Jiajia over early.

One floor of Yiyang Building is dedicated to banquets. The banquet hall alone covers an area of ​​700 to 800 square meters, enough to accommodate more than 100 tables. When several companies under the Yiyang Group first moved here,

The meeting was still not full of ordinary people, but now it is full.

"Brother Yang."

"Brother Yang."

Shao Yang and Xue Jiajia walked through the crowd holding a glass of red wine and kept responding to the company employees' greetings.

After the annual meeting officially started, Lu Mei pulled Shaoyang to the stage to give a speech without any warning.

Shaoyang was not prepared at all, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Well... I am very grateful to everyone for their efforts in the past year. I hope that we will all continue our efforts together next year. Anyway, when you work in our company, you will be rewarded for your efforts. This is the end of the annual meeting every year.

After that, everyone should go back and look at their bank card deposits to know what it means."

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was laughter in the audience.

The salary of employees of Yiyang Group has long been at the ceiling level in the industry. This is something everyone in the industry knows, so Yiyang Group has never been short of talents. Even during the recruitment season every year, countless people squeeze their heads to join.

Shaoyang himself had worked for others, and he hated the kind of boss who "wanted the horse to run but also wanted the horse not to eat grass." Therefore, after he became the boss, he never treated his subordinates badly in terms of wages.

Take Lu Mei for example, her annual salary plus dividends may be higher than the annual revenue of other small companies.

"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Let's eat well and drink well tonight. We won't go home until we get drunk."

"Pap-pap-pap-pap."

There was warm applause in the banquet hall.

The annual meeting has officially begun. As the protagonist tonight, Shaoyang cannot escape the fate of being toasted.

Two hours later, he was almost carried downstairs by Xue Jiajia, Bo Ling, and Cecilia, and then carried into the car again.

After that, the days went by faster.

After the company holiday, Shaoyang asked Shao Yuer to go home and take his parents to the magic city.

On New Year's Eve, the two families had a reunion.

The next day.

The long-awaited "The Wandering Earth" and "Time Traveler 2" were released simultaneously in major theaters.

As of 12 noon on New Year's Eve, the pre-sales of "The Wandering Earth" had reached 200 million, while "Time Traveler 2" was only 60 million.

This result made Peng Ming so angry that at nine o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he took some employees from the company to a movie theater to book a theater to watch "Time Traveler 2".

Shao Yang also made a call to Yang Lan at this time and asked her to book a movie theater and take the whole family there to watch it in the evening.

There was no need to go to such trouble. Shaoyang could play the movie at home. The reason why he went to the cinema was because he wanted to hear the opinions of other theatergoers.
