Chapter 188 Internet Turbulence

“Lao Zhang, don’t forget that this is the new media era.

As long as the creativity is good, the communication effect may not be inferior to that of a blockbuster.

What’s more, we adopted the crowdfunding method this time, which is equivalent to locking in a group of audiences in advance.”

He paused and his tone became sincere.

“Besides, haven’t you always wanted to make a meaningful movie? Isn’t this a good opportunity?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone again. Just when Su Ran thought she had failed, Zhang Qiming suddenly laughed.

“Xiao Su, you are still so good at talking. Okay, I promise you.”

Su Ran hung up the phone, took a long breath, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Qiming’s support undoubtedly gave him great confidence.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the prosperous city scene outside the window, and his heart was full of expectations.

However, at this moment, a hurried knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

“Come in.”The door was pushed open, and assistant Xiao Wang rushed in breathlessly, with anxiety written all over his face.

“”Boss, something bad has happened! There’s a problem with crowdfunding!”

Su Ran frowned, turned around and stared at Xiao Wang.

“What’s going on?”Xiao Wang took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

“Our crowdfunding project was questioned and criticized not long after it was launched.”

“Some people posted online saying that we were scamming people, and some questioned our production capabilities…….”

Su Ran’s face darkened, and he quickly walked to the computer and opened the crowdfunding platform page.

As expected, the comment section below the project was full of negative comments.

“What kind of third-rate crew is this? How dare they crowdfund a movie?”

“Look at Marvel’s special effects and then look at yours, there is a world of difference!”

“Apart from anything else, can these two amateur actors act well?”

One after another, the sarcastic comments were like sharp swords, piercing Su Ran’s heart. He clenched the mouse tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

“Have you found out where these people came from?”Su Ran’s voice was low, with a hint of suppressed anger.

Xiao Wang shook his head.

“Not yet, but judging from the wording and style of the comments, it is likely to be an organized behavior.”

Su Ran narrowed his eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that those big guys are secretly doing something?

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated. It was Zhang Li, the public relations director, calling.

“Hello, Sister Li, what’s the matter?”

“”Boss Su, this is bad!” Zhang Li’s voice was filled with anxiety.”I just contacted several media outlets to promote our product, but they all rejected me. They said……”

She paused, as if she was hesitating whether to say it out loud.

“What did they say?”Su Ran asked

“They said that someone warned them not to accept our advertisements, otherwise they would never be able to stay in the industry…….”

Su Ran’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Sure enough, those big guys still took action.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

“I understand. Sister Li, don’t worry, we’ll take a long-term view.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Ran turned to Xiao Wang

“Go call all the core members of the company, let’s hold an emergency meeting.”

Half an hour later, in the conference room.

Su Ran looked around at his colleagues who were frowning, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew that everyone was worried about the future of the company.

“Everyone, I think you all understand the situation.”Su Ran got straight to the point.

“Our crowdfunding project has been systematically suppressed. It is very likely that some bigwigs are behind this.”

PR Director Zhang Li couldn’t help but speak up

“Mr. Su, how about we withdraw the crowdfunding project first? Let’s wait until the storm has passed…….”

“No way!” Su Ran said firmly,”If we retreat now, we will really lose.”

“More importantly, we will disappoint those who support us.”

He swept his eyes across everyone’s face, his tone firm.

“Remember, we are not fighting alone. We have the support of Teacher Zhang Qiming and the audience who believe in us. We must not let them down!”

The conference room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was infected by Su Ran’s words, and their fighting spirit was rekindled in their eyes.

At this moment, a familiar prompt sound suddenly rang in Su Ran’s mind.

“Ding! Detected a large number of opponents’ regretful emotions, the system is activated, reward: public opinion manipulation ability!”

Su Ran’s eyes lit up, and a surge of joy surged in his heart. This ability came at the right time!

He took a deep breath and swept his eyes over the crowd.

“Guys, I have a plan…….”

In the following days, Huanmeng Films launched a massive counterattack.

First, they released a video detailing the creative concept and filming plan of”Small World”.

In the video, Su Ran appeared in person and described his expectations for the film in plain language.

“This is not just a movie, but also an attempt to awaken people’s environmental awareness.”

At the end of the video, Su Ran said sincerely,”I know it is difficult, but as long as we work together, we can create miracles.”

Once the video was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention. Many netizens were moved by Su Ran’s sincerity and left messages in support.

At the same time, Zhang Qiming also spoke out on his social media to support the”Small World” project.

As a respected senior in the industry, his words undoubtedly have great influence.

“I have seen Su Ran’s creativity, it is very interesting.” Zhang Qiming said in the video.

“This young man has ideas and is responsible, and we deserve to give him a chance.”

Under Su Ran’s”ability to manipulate public opinion,” these positive voices spread rapidly.

More and more people began to pay attention to the”Small World” project, and the crowdfunding amount was steadily increasing.

However, the opponents did not give up. They began to spread rumors that Su Ran and Zhang Qiming had an impure relationship, implying that it was a”deal.”

Faced with such slander, Su Ran did not panic. He once again activated his”ability to manipulate public opinion” and cleverly guided the direction of public opinion.

He posted a recording of his conversation with Zhang Qiming on social media.

In the recording, the two had an in-depth discussion on film creation, showing a pure mentor-apprentice friendship.

As soon as this recording came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Big wave.

Many netizens were moved by the sincere communication between the two, and spoke up for Su Ran and Zhang Qiming. Those smearing remarks were quickly drowned out by the voices of support.

Just as public opinion gradually turned in favor of”Small World”, an unexpected incident caused the situation to change again.

A person who claimed to be a former employee of Huanmeng Film and Television broke the news online, saying that the company’s internal management was chaotic, employees were poorly treated, and even hinted at funding problems. As soon as the news came out, it immediately triggered a new round of doubts. The growth of the crowdfunding amount has also slowed down.

Su Ran looked at the negative comments that kept refreshing on the screen, frowning. He knew that this was another counterattack by the opponent, and it was coming with great momentum.

“Ding! A large number of supporters’ disappointment has been detected. The system is activated. Reward: Truth-revealing ability!”
