<h4>Chapter 485: Safe And Peaceful Yanzhou</h4>
In Huo Yi’s opinion, a visual spectacle of luxurious gold and romanticism would definitely leave asting image.
This sort of impact was needed!
In five or ten years or even several decades, people would definitely still remember this image. !
As the boss of Wai, Huo Yi was also well informed. He too was making preparations for the impending new era. He knew that the new generation of warp engines was already in the final testing phase. This information had yet to be public. Those in the know kept it to themselves. They waited for this to be announced before making any moves. The upgrades to warp engines would greatly decrease the costs of spaceflight. The prices of Wai’smodities would be affected. However, Wai was moving towards the tourism industry. In Huo Yi’s opinion, this would be very advantageous. Huo Yi only hoped that more people would travel to Wai for sightseeing!
A lot of work was going into marketing for Wai’s changes and new attractions. Preparations had started long ago and were still being refined. Wai wanted to find a star for an endorsement, but after a while, they still hadn’t settled on anyone. Thus, Huo Yi set his sights on Fang Zhao. However, the decision wasn’t yet final. Then, Huo Yi heard that Fang Zhao had gone to Yin to perform and even rendered a meritorious service. Huo Yi immediately came knocking with the n that satisfied him most.
However, Fang Zhao declined.
“Why? I feel it’s very good!” Huo Yi was sullen.
However, Fang Zhao only rejected the n. He hadn’t directly rejected the request for endorsement.
“Alright, I will rethink the marketing campaign,” Huo Yimented. “It’s been a while since youst came to Wai. We’ve undergone great changes. Bring along Curly Hair for some rxation when you are free!”
“Alright.” Fang Zhao chuckled. Huo Yi still thought about Curly Hair from time to time.
Being in charge of Wai, Huo Yi was extremely busy. It was difficult for him to find the time to make a personal call to Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao felt honored by Huo Yi’s sincerity. If Fang Zhao could make some spare time, he would bring Curly Hair over to Wai and see its changes.
When the elevator reached the top floor of Silver Wing Media headquarters, the doors to the conference room opened. A few of thepany’s popr artistes came out. The reason for all the cars around the building was because of Silver Wing’s artiste meeting.
The artistes who came out from the conference room were either A-listers or higher. They were considered to be among the finest of Silver Wing’s contracted artistes. Currently, they either had solemn expressions or were secretly excited and bubbling with ambition.
The expressions of these people changed slightly when they saw Fang Zhao. However, they quickly covered it up and greeted Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao acknowledged each of them.
Duan Qianji’s assistant came out at this moment and showed Fang Zhao in. Director Duan and the other high level executives of thepany were inside waiting.
After the conference room doors closed, the few popr Silver Wing artistes exchanged nces outside. These were looks filled withplicated and wary sentiments.
Resources that thepany could provide were limited. Competition in entertainment was very intense. One additional person was one extrapetitor.
Once they entered the lift and were out of earshot of the high level executives, someone spoke in a hushed voice, “He isn’t omnipotent either. His brand image is not as developed. This is a clear disadvantage.”
He didn’t mention names, but the others knew who he was talking about.
Everyone understood that Fang Zhao had chosen to focus on music and was behind the scenes most of the time. He didn’t have many endorsements and rarely made public appearances outside of concerts.
“But, who knows for certain? He has strong control of his global-level niche. Thepany won’t neglect him,” someone else interjected.
“For sure, he’ll take some resources. The question is, how much?”
“Given Director Duan’s ambition and daring, he’ll definitely take quite a lot.”
“The sh of the titans has already started to unfold. Resources and engagement will depend on ability!!”
An intense ze appeared in the eyes of everyone present.
At this moment, in the top floor conference room.
“Fang Zhao, you are one of the trump cards of ourpany. You aren’t like the otherpany artistes. Strictly speaking, we only have a coborative rtionship, and our contract is limited to music. However, the uing period is a really crucial phase. The entire entertainment industry is going to heat up withpetition. Ourpetitors will go all out with their umted strength. Thepany is also very concerned with your future development. Fang Zhao, what ns do you have lined up?”
Silver Wing’s big boss Duan Qianji used a very gentle tone. Fang Zhao was a coborator. Most of the time, the coboration was led by Fang Zhao, not Siler Wing. Furthermore, as the director, Duan Qianji owed Fang Zhao some personal favors.
Fang Zhao pondered. “In thising two months, aside from some interviews and program invites, music-wise…”
Fang Zhao briefly spoke about his scheduled itinerary. He would be participating in two global academic conferences and attending the concerts of three reputable artists. He also had to give Mo Lang a report every month.
The few high level executives stiffened when they heard this.
All of these activities were indeed rted to music and sounded ssy. But! Did these activities have anything to do with Silver Wing? What benefits could it provide them? How much attention would it garner for them?
In the past, they would have been grinning from ear to ear if they hadpany artistes in high-level academic circles. It would be useful for their reputation.
But, with the winds of change blowing, they wanted poprity and traffic!
Who cared about reputation? Could reputation be exchanged for more money?
As long as it wasn’t illegal, thepany didn’t mind using any sort of means to garner benefits in the short term!
This was what they were seeking!
Towards other artistes receiving priority development, their request was:
Get busy!
Increase your exposure!
Feature yourself more prominently!
The activities Fang Zhao spoke of were indeed high quality. But, what use were they in the eyes of Silver Wing?
A few high level executives shot Boss Duan Qianji nces.
We don’t like the sound of what Fang Zhao just said. Hurry up and think of ideas to help him arrange more gigs!
Duan Qianji rubbed her temples. Without any change in expression, she said to Fang Zhao, “Whether through concerts, variety programs, or any other activities, you have to be more aggressive to capture the public’s eyes. Fang Zhao, thepany has very high expectations for you and has other arrangements for your consideration. Of course, if you have any ideas, let us know so thepany can help you.”
Fang Zhao thought about the interviews and variety show invites Nanfeng had mentioned. There were invites for other popr online activities, but he wasn’t too familiar with them. Fang Zhao decided to list them out and let thepany help filter through them. After all, Silver Wing would definitely know more about the great changes that wereing to the entertainment circles.
Just as he was about to speak, hismunications device vibrated. Fang Zhao nced at the notification and raised a surprised eyebrow.
“Excuse me, I have to take this important call.”
Duan Qianji raised her hand and indicated for her assistant to lead Fang Zhao into the room at the side.
After Fang Zhao left, one senior executive smiled profoundly. “Looks like he is also well informed and understands the great wave that ising.”
“He has had interactions with the military and Interary Fund. Furthermore, he was just at Yin for a performance. It isn’t out of the ordinary for him to know,” Duan Qianji said.
“Then, what sort of arrangements should we have for Fang Zhao?” another high level executive asked with tightly furrow brows.
Silver Wing was one of the big yers of Yanzhou’s media industry. They would still be one even without Fang Zhao. However, it was still somewhat difficult for them on the global scale. They had to rely on Fang Zhao and other artistes with global recognition to raise their prestige.
The number ofpany artistes under them who had both excellentmercial value and academic aplishments could be counted with the fingers of one hand. And on this list, Fang Zhao was ranked first.
But, thepany had limited resources. Every senior executive had their own biases, and the resources they held would definitely skew towards their trusted personnel. They had yet to decide how many resources could be diverted to Fang Zhao. Some of these executives flipped through their electronic files to determine what they could arrange for Fang Zhao.
As the big boss of thepany, Duan Qianji also had considerable resources at her disposal. She definitely wanted to allocate some to Fang Zhao.
After a short while, Fang Zhao finished his call and returned.
“Shall we continue with what we were discussing just now?” Duan Qianji indicated for Fang Zhao to continue.
“I had originally wanted to have Silver Wing help filter through some of the invites and requests I received, but with this call, I have a new assignment,” Fang Zhao said with a somewhat pensive smile.
Duan Quanji’s curiosity was piqued. “Who called you?”
“Yanzhou Public Safety Bureau…”
Swish!
All the high level executives stared at Fang Zhao.
“They contacted me with a request for me to endorse ‘Safe & Peaceful Yanzhou’,” Fang Zhao added.
The conference room suddenly fell dead silent. All the burning gazes lingered on Fang Zhao.
Director Duan secretly canceled out the work arrangements she had initially intended to give Fang Zhao.
She had intended for Fang Zhao to be the face of theirpany. She never imagined that Fang Zhao would be the face of an entire continent!
