Hello Mr. King

Chapter 416 - I Look For You Because I Have a Request



Chapter 416: I Look For You Because I Have a Request


“There are also benefits to broadcast on a single satellite…” Yun Xiangxiang said after considering it for a while.


A single satellite broadcast would not be as strong as a dual satellite simultaneous broadcast, which meant that there would be less copyright income. However, it was the most conservative and safer way to avoid the same broadcast period as “Princess Pingyang.”


“Solo broadcasting has the benefits of exclusive broadcasting, but the company has the company’s benefits to consider.” Wei Shanshan’s tone was full of resignation.


The quotation for a solo broadcast was different. They didn’t consider solo broadcasting from the get-go, which led to a slightly lower budget. If they were to switch to solo broadcasting now, it would be letting their emotions affect this decision. Sure enough, it was not worth it to strive for vindication.


Satellite broadcast was essential to a TV series. Yun Xiangxiang added, “But even if you are avoiding “Princess Pingyang” now, there will be other TV series in the future. We can’t always avoid them like this? The most important thing is that there are not many secrets in this circle.”


In the past few years, the market for fairy tales and mythologies had been declining, resulting in not many people being optimistic about these sorts of themes. This was also why Wei Shangshan was inclined to pick “Princess Pingyang” when choosing her scripts.


However, Yun Xiangxiang was more optimistic about “Overseer of the Heavenly Destiny.” It was true that “Princess Pingyang” was a big production. The entry point was also new and original, but Yu Xiangxiang felt that Princess Pingyang in the movie was selfless and dedicated.


The selfless dedication was worthy of publicity. Yun Xiangxiang recognized the drama’s spirit. The heroine in this drama dedicated her whole life. Even if she married with pride and glory, it was for the sake of her family and country.


In the setting of an ancient imperial system, especially in the scenario where the heroine and her younger brother’s every move was closely monitored by people ready to pounce on them like hungry tigers and wolves, Princess Pingyang’s approach was undoubtedly impressive. But to the audience, it seemed like she was oppressed.


Primarily since the finale of this TV series was based on real history. Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty became muddle-headed with old age and was not tolerant of his sister, who contributed so much for him.


It was very realistic, but it angered the audience and made people feel that the lives of the princesses living in ancient times were destined to be sad.


Such a tragic ending only made the audience feel sorry for the heroine’s misfortune and condemn her resignation.


Extremely kind individuals might be moved, but they might still feel that the heroine did not deserve it.


The heroine of “Overseer of the Heavenly Destiny” was the opposite. She was initially a peach tree who was coincidentally tied by fate to a heavenly saint. She had no choice but to use all her power to exchange for a chance to survive.


So she was not large-minded, nor have any feelings. She only ever cared about her life.


In the rift between the Palace of Life and Celestial Court, the gods, and the little fairies, she did her best to keep herself alive.


She was indifferent and selfish. As long as it did not endanger her life, she would stay out of the matter even if the sky was torn apart.


She was such a person. After she was hit by many bloody battles and entangled innocently into conflicts that were not her own, she could not protect herself due to her low status and being too weak. She came to realize that only the strong could defend themselves.


Therefore, she strived to make progress no matter by fair means or foul, but she also understood the weak’s humbleness and resignation as she also came from the weak. So she always considered and protected those innocent, weak ones in her heart.


After being sharpened and honed, she could guarantee an equal and benevolent heart. She became the young overseer of the Palace of Destinies.


Both were challenging environments, and the choices between the two were different. Princess Pingyang chose dedication and selflessness, while Chi Yao chose self-improvement.


Although Princess Pingyang’s environment determined that she had no grounds to make any of her own decisions, the audience should prefer the latter after comparison.


“My agent is also struggling, saying that there are no secrets in the circle. Everyone knows that our TV series was rejected. Even if he kept trying, the price would be lowered. Compared to going around begging for help, it’s better to be firm and fight for it. If we win, it will be a slap in the face for them.”


Wei Shanshan was no longer a newbie. She understood many things, but the company’s position was different from hers, so she had more to consider.


“I’ll help you ask.” Yun Xiangxiang said to Wei Shanshan after thinking.


“Don’t. If you are like this, I won’t dare to complain to you in the future.” Wei Shanshan quickly stopped her.


She purely considered Yun Xiangxiang to be a good friend and felt that she could talk about all her troubles with Yun Xiangxiang to air out her worries.


She didn’t mean for Yun Xiangxiang to help her. Not to mention that she also knew about the cooperation between Huan Yu Century Entertainment and The Era of Stars.


If Yun Xiangxiang participated, she would seem to disregard the cooperating partners’ interests. If this caused Huan Yu Century Entertainment to have any dissatisfaction with Yun Xiangxiang, Wei Shanshan would feel guilty and blame herself.


“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Just give me the report on some satellite TVs.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled lightly.


Even if Wei Shanshan did not say anything, Yun Xiangxiang could have found out about the few satellite TVs with a quick internet search. Why bother her?


After reporting the name of the satellite TVs, Wei Shanshan still urged uncomfortably, “Xiangxiang, I believe that my work would be popular no matter how it is broadcasted. I don’t wish to trouble you.”


“Well, you treat me as a friend, and I also treat you as mine. I’m just doing what I can.”


After hanging up with Wei Shanshan, Yun Xiangxiang called Song Mian, “When will you be back?”


In the past two days, there was a team of foreign experts who studied leukemia. Song Mian personally attended to them, so he was a bit busy.


“I am on my way back. Does my girlfriend miss me?” Song Mian teased her.


“We just separated in the morning. Why would I miss you?” She rolled her eyes, “I’m looking for you because I have a request.”


“My girlfriend is so realistic, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be sad?” said Song Mian aggrievedly.


“No. I’m not afraid that you’d be hurt, so I chose honesty instead of reality.” She said righteously.


Song Mian choked and could only surrender, “Okay, my considerate girlfriend, what can I do for you?”


“I want to know if you know anyone from the TV station. I don’t want you to give out favors or intimidate anyone. I just hope they will give a chance to examine a TV series. If it is no good, then forget it.”


She could only ask for help from Song Mian on this matter. Huan Yu Century Entertainment indeed had the resources. Still, since Huan Yu Century Entertainment was cooperating with The Era of Stars, she did not wish for Huan Yu Entertainment to intervene.


Not only does she want to help Wei Shanshan, but even more so that she did not like Qin Yue. If “Overseer of the Heavenly Destiny” were to be broadcasted on the same day as “Princess Pingyang,” and it was severely stepped on, she wanted to see how Qin Yue could come back.


If no TV series were equal to “Princess Pingyang,” Qin Yue would gain both fame and fortune. Yun Xiangxiang did not want to see her being proud at all.


“Okay, I’ll get in touch with someone, and you can tell me the title.” Song Mian responded.


If this did not affect the other party’s judgment, it was easy to pull some strings. As long as the person showing up can benefit, there was enough room for the people at the TV station to refuse.


Yun Xiangxiang told Song Mian the TV that she bought from the two TV stations, so he did not repeat any searches. Then she told him the schedule of the screening to see if the TV station could accept it.
