Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 400 - 215: Fast, Ruthless, Accurate, and Cost-Effective

"Haha, so dating a female celebrity has become a business?" Edward Foster chuckled, "But I’ve lost interest in them. Beautiful faces are everywhere, but a smart mind is rare.""Your requirements are really high." Lawrence Winters smiled, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first."

Edward Foster got anxious, "Hey, don’t leave yet, we haven’t finished discussing this matter."

"I thought you’d already finished." Lawrence relaxedly leaned back in his chair, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course there’s more." Edward’s finger pointed at Arthur Johnson’s name, "You know, he’s the top star in our company, right?"

Lawrence nodded.

"Recently, there’s a company trying to poach him, he’s a bit tempted, but he’s willing to stay at the old firm, on the condition that..." Edward looked at Lawrence, "Do you want to know the condition for him to stay?"

"Condition?" Lawrence’s eyes shifted, "Is he asking for a raise? A larger share? Or better resources?"

"None of those." Edward faintly smiled, "He wants us to terminate the contract with Lucas Harlow, or to sideline him."

"What?!" Lawrence instantly got angry.

With a loud bang, a small hand slammed hard on Edward Foster’s desk, "When did Lucas ever provoke him? Why does he want to completely wipe him out?!"

"Besides, Lucas is in films, and this guy is in TV, they don’t overlap at all!"

"What gives him the right to make us give up on Lucas?!"

Lawrence was fuming, "I knew the entertainment industry was complicated, but I didn’t know there were people in it who would harm others without benefit to themselves!"

"It’s not exactly harming others without benefiting oneself." Edward Foster admired Lawrence’s angry look, feeling she was even more lively and adorable in his eyes, his voice softened unwittingly, "Because he feels threatened, thinks Lucas will grow to become the company’s top star. —You know, in any place, there’s only one number one. That’s why it’s called ’one’."

Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understanding, "...That’s true, I did overlook that."

"So what do we do? How about you stop backing Lucas to become a top star? Anyway, Lucas doesn’t have much ambition." Edward smiled slightly, discreetly trying to undermine Lucas Harlow.

"No way." Lawrence objected without a second thought, firmly saying, "Lucas has the ability, and he’s at the threshold of becoming big, giving up now means he’ll never achieve major fame in his lifetime."

Edward laughed, "Why do you say that? You can read faces?"

"I can’t, but predicting a person’s rise to fame is my specialty." Lawrence said with a half-smile, "In our public relations courses, most case studies are from the entertainment industry, a few from business, and even fewer from government."

"Oh? So, what do you mean Lucas has reached the threshold to become famous?" Edward curiously asked.

Lawrence took out her phone, pulling up a chart she had drawn in preparation for Lucas Harlow’s work plan.

"Look, young Mr. Foster, at this time, I had just become a fan of Lucas. And at this point, his latest movie was released. In less than three weeks, his various entertainment indices and public appeal have shown a geometric growth."

Edward looked at the cliff-like upward trajectory on Lawrence’s phone, falling silent.

"Moreover, after his movie was aired, his popularity didn’t decline but continued to rise steadily."

"Although not as terrifyingly as the first three weeks, it has already laid a solid foundation."

Lawrence’s analysis of Lucas Harlow’s industry growth was meticulous and detailed, clearly showing she had done a lot of homework rather than making wild guesses.

Edward felt ashamed in comparison, although he knew Lawrence’s attention to Lucas Harlow was purely professional, he couldn’t help but feel a subtle hint of jealousy.

However, he didn’t show it, instead smiling as he continued to ask, "So how are you planning to push him to a top star position?"

"I’m still considering." Lawrence put away her phone, "Currently, there are two methods, each with its pros and cons, tough to choose."

"Oh, let’s hear them?" Edward seemed very interested.

"The first way is to create a buzz immediately, stir up the waters to strengthen the fan base, let his fan numbers explode, thus his reputation could quickly rise."

"Since he’s already quasi top-tier, as long as we create some hype, his notability will jump to top-tier, then hold a few events to solidify the fan circle, and he’ll quickly reach the top."

Edward couldn’t help but nod, this step had also been adopted by their company, for example, their current top star Arthur Johnson ascended to top star status amidst fan adoration in this way.

"What about the second way?"

"The second way is to tailor a highly promotional TV script for him, with an intriguing story and distinct character traits, avoiding those cookie-cutter emotionless, idiotically acting cold-blooded CEOs. He should be a very distinctive, relatable male lead, then have him fall in an emotionally gripping romance with the female lead, and finally die heroically to save her in the end, only then will audiences forever remember his name."

Edward finally couldn’t help but exclaim, "Great! I like the second idea!"

Lawrence smiled and nodded, "I also like the second one. But to be fair, both methods have their pros and cons."

She started counting on her fingers, "The first way’s advantage is it doesn’t cost much money, it’s quick, within three months, he’ll rapidly elevate to top-tier from quasi top-tier."

"At this point, if Arthur Johnson continues to complain, we can immediately promote Lucas to top star. Arthur Johnson falls from grace, even if he wants to switch companies, it won’t be as glamorous as before."

Edward, entranced by listening, clapped and said, "I’ve changed my mind! I just like this one! Quick, fierce, precise, cost-effective, and it slaps Spencer Group in the face again!"

Lawrence was puzzled, "What’s this got to do with Spencer Group?"

"...Because the company trying to poach Arthur Johnson is a newly opened film production company under the Spencer Group, NewHuman Entertainment Ltd." Edward Foster said with a cold sneer, eager to set a trap for the Spencer Group.
