Chapter 102, "The Silent Truth," is about to be released!
After the production of "The Silent Truth" was completed, it entered the publicity and internal screening stage.
Tang Lou has high hopes for this web series, which is also related to the subsequent promotion of "Sheep Without a Shepherd".
This time, Tanglou is prepared to invest unprecedented promotional expenses, with the most important goal of thoroughly establishing the Mist Theater brand.
Audiences and industry peers alike are paying close attention to the second web series from the Mist Theater.
The sudden emergence of this brand attracted a lot of attention and achieved great success. Therefore, this second series is very important; it must succeed in order to build on the reputation of the first series and leave a lasting impression on the audience.
That means anything produced by the Mist Theater is bound to be a masterpiece!
Within KuMiao, colleagues who had worked with Tang Lou on multiple projects were somewhat surprised that Tang Lou had actually invested far more in promotion and distribution costs than a web series!
"Mr. Tang, why have you invested so much money in promotion this time?"
"Especially the focus of the publicity on Qin Hao and Tan Zhuo, I always feel that President Tang has a big plan."
"Hopefully, this time 'The Silent Truth' can achieve enough success to solidify the reputation of our Mist Theater."
"With such a large investment in advertising, if the results don't meet expectations, it will be very disadvantageous for President Tang at this crucial juncture."
"This time, the joint establishment of Coolyo Entertainment by Coolyo and Alibaba Pictures is indeed a huge opportunity, but also a huge challenge."
"President Tang, you can't afford to make a single mistake from now on. Otherwise, if Zhang Wei gets something to say about it, we'll have done all the work for them."
...
Internally, KuMiao was still worried for President Tang regarding Zhang Wei's aggressive "Ferryman" project.
As for "The Silent Truth," given the success of "The Hidden Corner," it will be very difficult for it to achieve the same level of popularity.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. This time, "The Silent Truth" will determine whether the Mist Theater can become a gold standard in the industry.
Amid the worries and anxieties of Coolcat's colleagues, Tanglou, as was customary, invited several leaders, including Shen Yan, to come and preview the show.
After Shen Yan and the others sat down, they were initially worried about whether this drama could reach the level of "The Hidden Corner".
height.
But after seeing it, they were all relieved.
This drama is completely different from traditional suspense dramas. It has transcended the suspense genre and focuses on realistic issues such as collusion between officials and businessmen, judicial corruption, and young men assaulting minors, with profound implications.
This drama has taken the courage of humanity and the reflection on the system to a new level! Originally, many people in the industry were still mocking Tanglou for spending a lot of money to buy out all the novels of the little-known Zijin Chen.
They considered it an impulsive and blindly foolish decision.
However, after watching the drama "The Silent Truth," everyone present, including Shen Yan and the other leaders, was deeply attracted by the structure, theme, and content of the drama.
"Zi Jinchen is truly a genius of suspense dramas."
"With just these two dramas, Tang Lou has already recouped its procurement costs. Not to mention, he also has several novels, each of which is a golden egg."
"Tanglou really has a good eye. By acquiring Zijin Chen, they gained core content and completely built up the Mist Theater brand. They're truly impressive!"
"It seems that our Coolcat will be far ahead in the suspense web series market and become the industry benchmark."
Besides the two web series themselves, Tanglou also discovered and promoted Qin Hao, Zhang Zifeng, Tan Zhuo, and others through these two series, which is crucial for the subsequent filming of the Mist Theater.
"No wonder President Shen was willing to act as a go-between and give Tanglou the opportunity to join Cool Yang Entertainment."
"Tang Lou has already proven his absolute talent and vision in web dramas and variety shows. Now we'll see how he performs in the film industry."
As leaders on KuMiao's side, we naturally hope that Tanglou can win the battle against Alibaba Pictures.
Once Tang Lou gains complete control of Kuyang Entertainment, it will be a natural progression for him to be transferred to Alibaba Pictures as a high-level executive.
Shen Yan was in a very good mood. As long as Tang Lou could really span the two major departments, then as his direct superior and mentor, his status and identity would also rise accordingly.
"Tang Lou, you did a great job."
"Like I said before, from now on, as long as you have faith in a project, our entire CoolMeow team will give you our full support!"
Shen Yan now had a complete understanding of the situation.
Everyone was completely engrossed in the film, especially in admiring Jiang Yang's tragic heroism in sacrificing his life to light the lamp, which brought tears to their eyes.
From any perspective, this is an excellent work.
Shen Yan and others even had a premonition that "The Silent Truth" would surpass "The Hidden Corner" after its release, becoming the new pinnacle of suspense dramas! After "The Silent Truth" officially began its promotional campaign.
Tang Lou, with the original cast and crew, immediately launched the "Sheep Without a Shepherd" project! Qin Hao, Tan Zhuo, Tian Xiwei, and others will once again star in the film! The industry and audiences were shocked by Tang Lou's aggressive promotional strategy.
This is unprecedented – the team behind a web series is now venturing into the film market!
Can a movie with an investment of less than 80 million really create a miracle?
Tang Lou's actions this time are extremely reckless, completely tying the future of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" to the reputation of "The Silent Truth".
If "The Silent Truth" fails, then "Sheep Without a Shepherd" can be declared out of the running without even starting filming.
Apart from Tang Lou himself being full of confidence, the rest of his colleagues could not understand Tang Lou's actions this time.
Alibaba Pictures.
Zhang Wei's team also learned about Tanglou's new project, "Sheep Without a Shepherd," as soon as possible.
Looking at Tanglou's new project, Zhang Wei and her think tank almost burst out laughing.
"This tenement building really does resemble a small, cramped place from a video platform."
"Do they really think our big screen can be made with shoddy productions?"
"It's a production with an investment of less than 80 million yuan, using a web series team, and the cast of stars is ridiculously bad."
"Qin Hao is just a minor actor in art films. Although he has risen in popularity through web dramas, he is still far from being a box office draw actor on the big screen."
"Moreover, the director of this drama is Xin Shuang, who also directed the web series. Is Tanglou simply not taking it seriously, or is this all the talent they have?"
"Whether he is the former or the latter, it shows that he has run out of tricks this time."
"Does he really think that works on the big screen are as simple as web series?"
...
Zhang Wei's team felt relieved and prepared to watch the humiliation unfold at Tanglou.
When the time comes, with the star-studded cast of Tony Leung and Kam Shing-wu, plus Wong Ka-wai as producer, and an investment of nearly 400 million, they will crush Tong Lou's first attempt at filmmaking from every angle.
