“Thank you, Broken Continent, for letting me see the world. This show lets me know that there’s a drama out there that can gather all the big shots in various circles to promote it; the film and television circle, music circle, variety show circle, painter circle, writer circle, business circle, and academic circle.”

“Am I the only one who’s curious about the person who could pull so many big shots together to promote this drama?”

“I only know that the director, Tan Jinqi, is the eldest son of Tanyue Homeware. But how did he manage to gather so many big shots like this?”

The netizens were curious and gradually deviated from the main point.

However, they also deeply remembered Broken Continent.

Not many remembered Nine Heavens now.

Nine Heavens?

What Nine Heavens?

They could not remember!

Thus, under Lu Man’s control, Broken Continent continued to dominate the search results and continued trending.

All the way until the 25th.

Both dramas were scheduled to air at 8 pm.

Once it was past noon, the previews of the two dramas were released on the Kefeng platform, and the banners on the selected pages rolled out.

However, Broken Continent was on the first banner, while Nine Heavens was on the second banner.

When netizens entered the Kefeng platform, they would automatically be redirected to Kefeng’s curated page, which was also equivalent to Kefeng’s home page.

After entering, the page would refresh to the latest version, so there was no need for the netizen to manually refresh the page.

After refreshing, the first thing that came into view on the page was Broken Continent’s promotional banner.

The Broken Continent trailer would be seen once the banner was clicked on.

Five seconds after the trailer starts playing, a pop-up window would appear on the page. The pop-up window would ask if the netizen wanted a reminder once Broken Continent airs.

The pop-up window would automatically disappear after the netizen clicks on the ‘Remind Me’ button.

When the show airs and the reminder is sent, the netizen only needed to click on the reminder and it would redirect them to the page with Broken Continent’s episodes.

Nine Heavens, on the other hand, did not have such a good treatment.

The banners on the platform were rotating banners. Nine Heavens was on the second banner.

This meant that Nine Heavens’ banner would only appear after Broken Continent’s banner was shown and rotated away.

Clicking on the Nine Heavens banner would redirect them to the broadcast page, which only contained the trailer. There were no pop-up reminder windows like how it was done for Broken Continent.

When Guo Qingchen saw this, he was furious.

Even Li Hanfei and Gao Qiongyu went to look for Guo Qingchen.

“Director, What’s going on? Why is Nine Heavens treated worse than Broken Continent?” Gao Qiongyu said unhappily.

Li Hanfei also said, “Director, didn’t you say we would be given the best promotion for Nine Heavens? And this is what we get?”

After all, they were celebrities that had a huge following on social media, but they have received this kind of treatment. Just how humiliating was it for them?

“Manager Wu promised me before.” Guo Qingchen was also extremely angry. “I’ll go and look for him now.”

“Director, but what’s up with Broken Continent? We’ve seen big shots who helped them promote the show. And today, Broken Continent even beat us in the pre-launch preview. Are they giving them all the promotional resources?” Gao Qiongyu asked.

“Yes, their cast is not strong and the director is still a newcomer. But why does Kefeng support them so much?” Li Hanfei was not worried when he heard that both dramas were going to air at the same time. In fact, he was very confident.

He had no sympathy for Broken Continent, which would be crushed by them.

This industry was just so realistic and cruel.

Who did not go through challenging experiences to be where they are today?

Behind the so-called getting popular overnight, there were many tough times.

It was just something that everyone had experienced before.

But who would have thought that the situations were now reversed?

Previously, their promotions were overshadowed by Broken Continent’s promotions. And now with the pre-launch preview, Kefeng had actually allocated the good promotional resources to Broken Continent first.

No matter how one looked at it, it didn’t seem like the treatment Broken Continent should be having!

When the two dramas were put together on whichever platform, everyone knew that Nine Heavens normally should be promoted first.

“I’ll go and ask Manager Wu what’s going on,” Guo Qingchen said in a deep voice.

Although he wasn’t considered a top director in the industry, he was still a director.

In the television drama industry, he couldn’t be compared to Hou Yuehai and Liu Runlin.

However, he had produced blockbuster dramas, which made the lead actors in the dramas popular.

After that blockbuster drama, the lead actors’ resources soared.

They directly rose from the second and third-tier to the first-tier celebrities.

Although the subsequent dramas were not blockbusters, their results were definitely not bad. The producers made money from the dramas.

He had a lot of requests to direct shows, and he had never been wronged like this before.

Guo Qingchen called Manager Wu angrily.

“Director Guo.” Manager Wu picked up the phone. He had already guessed the reason behind Guo Qingchen’s call.

“Manager Wu, what’s with the promotion today?” Guo Qingchen asked, “We originally agreed to give Nine Heavens all the good promotions. Of course, I did not expect our drama to get all the good promotions. But now it seems like we can’t even get decent promotions, not to mention good promotions.”

“Not only did Broken Continent occupy the first banner in the rotating banner, but it also has a pop-up reminder window for the show. And Nine Heavens was placed in the second banner. On top of that, we have nothing else other than the trailer. Is this what you meant by giving us a better promotion than Broken Continent? If this is considered better than Broken Continent, then I would like to switch with Broken Continent,” Guo Qingchen sneered.

Manager Wu was also holding back his anger.

Yesterday, he had already promised Guo Qingchen. But such a thing had happened today.

Manager Wu also felt embarrassed.

“I did communicate it to my colleagues yesterday,” Manager Wu could only pinch his nose and explain, “The colleague who is responsible for the platform’s promotions is usually on good terms with me. We normally benefit from each other a lot. Originally, I just needed to put in a word for this and it would be done. I didn’t expect that things would turn out this way. Yesterday, she promised that it would be fine. Who knew that the promotion today would change completely? It’s completely different from what she said yesterday.”

“The promotion I originally arranged for Nine Heavens was the one Broken Continent had today,” Manager Wu said. “I don’t know what happened, but they swapped the promotion for the two dramas.”

Guo Qingchen pursed his lips and sneered silently.

Who knew whether Manager Wu was telling the truth or not.

If what he said was true, then the change in the promotions for both dramas was definitely done on purpose.

The person in charge of this job had so many years of experience, how could she make such a low-level mistake?

“You didn’t ask why?” Guo Qingchen asked coldly.

“I did,” Manager Wu said. “After I saw the promotion, I immediately asked what’s going on. When you called me, I was just about to call you to explain.”

Through the phone, Manager Wu couldn’t see Guo Qingchen’s sneer deepening.

He didn’t know whether Guo Qingchen believed him or not.
