Chapter 554: Go Away. Let Me Do It Myself, Okay?
“I have some dissatisfaction with this girl and I feel that her education level is really a shame. However, I have never once denied her as a person, not have I ever denied her kindness or her diligence. I have no other objections to this girl becoming a part of my family and I think I have already made myself very clear tonight.” After that, the old man got up from the sofa immediately.
“If the both of you are still thinking of going against me, you can stop thinking about it! I will never let that happen!”
Jiang Yuning: “…”
Lu Jingzhi: “…”
After speaking, the old man turned around and went back to his room.
At this time, Jiang Yuning laughed as she said, “Does Grandpa Lu thinks that we are still in elementary school?”
“Don’t worry about what he said. What I am really concerned about is whether you want to have a wedding or not?” Lu Jingzhi grabbed Jiang Yuning’s hand before he continued asking in a serious tone, “So, do you want a wedding?”
Would there be any girl on earth who would not be looking forward to her wedding?
Jiang Yuning nodded: “Of course I do.”
“Then let’s do it.” After that, Lu Jingzhi picked Jiang Yuning up from the sofa before they returned to their bedroom.
This relations.h.i.+p was finally out in the open.
…
Vera could tell that Empress Jiang was in an extremely good mood the next day and she could not help but ask, “What happened? Why are you so happy today?”
“Second Brother and I are going to have a wedding!” Jiang Tuning quickly replied with a smile on her face even though she was still slightly embarra.s.sed to talk about it
Vera was shocked when she heard Jiang Yuning’s words. “Did you get the approval from the Lu family already?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Yuning nodded.
“Well, I know that you are in a really good mood and I do not want to…splash cold water on you but last night, Guangying Media received an invitation to send some of our rising celebrities in the performing arts to attend the international cultural exchange symposium. Of course, the goal is to perform well and make sure that our country wins this glory. However, it seems as though this is going to be very challenging. After putting much thought into it, Chairman Gu finally set his sights on you,” Vera briefed Jiang Yuning as she was driving.
“Well, as a Chinese national, I think it is only right for you to do your part to make your country proud.”
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity of a very serious nature.
“Uncle really seems to value me,” Jiang Yuning pouted as the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
“Looking at all the artistes signed under Guangying Media now, aside from excellent acting skills, all of the other artistes are not talented in other aspects at all. Chairman Gu believes that you will at least be able to perform some martial arts on stage.”
“When will the cultural exchange meeting be?”
“Next month,” Vera replied, “After finis.h.i.+ng the last wave of promotional activities for , you will not only have to attend some acting cla.s.ses, but you will also have to attend some etiquette cla.s.ses. You want to have a wedding? I think you will have to wait until you are done with the filming of . I think you have to think things through again.”
It might be next year or the year after that.
Actually, it takes a long time to prepare for a wedding. However, the reason why Jiang Yuning was upset was because she felt that it was impossible to leave all the wedding preparations to Lu Jingzhi since he was already so busy with work.
“The cultural exchange meeting is very important as there will be many different performances by many other artistes from other countries. At that time, everyone will be paying attention to every move you make. You will have to fight for your own pride then.”
Vera repeatedly stressed the heavy burden and responsibilities that Jiang Yuning would be shouldering.
Jiang Yuning was intially so happy and excited to finally have a wedding…
“Moreover, it seems as though the promotional events for has not been particularly successful. Since the subject matter is limited, there might be a very low audience watching the drama and this would definitely affect the ratings. You have to be mentally prepared for this.”
“However, I believe that everyone in the entertainment industry will have already acknowledged your talent and ability at that time since you would be on national television. However, it seems as though all the marketing and promotional efforts are all in vain.”
“Who is in charge of the promotional and marketing efforts? Go away. Let me do it myself, okay?”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Vera was silent for a second.
“d.a.m.n! Why didn’t I think of that?”
After that, Jiang Yuning watched all the marketing and promotional materials that had already been released to the public. It was so bad and it was no wonder why even the Ginger Candies were not interested in the drama at all.
It was no wonder why there seemed to be no interest from the public at all.
“Yuning, what do you intend to do about this?”
Vera was suddenly a little excited because she wanted to see how Jiang Yuning would turn things around.
“Are you going to post something on social media again? The theme of this drama is about the Republic of China. So, you have to watch what you are doing despite what you are feeling right now.”
“Didn’t you see the hot search last night? Everyone is asking me to become a customer service representative! Why don’t you trust me and let me deal with this matter?” Jiang Yuning spoke to Vera in a very serious tone. “I really do not understand what is happening. There are so many wonderful scenes in the movie but it seems as though the marketing and promotional team chose the most boring and unremarkable scenes to be part of the trailer for the drama. They are intentionally avoiding all the exciting and amazing scenes. I can’t help but feel that there is something wrong with the marketing and promotional team.”
“What if the ratings are still bad after your promotional efforts?”
“Then I will not get involved in public relations again. I swear.”
Vera had to admit that Jiang Yuning had the acuity to grasp the audience’s perception of matters and what was running through their mind. Moreover, who set the rule that a national film could not be promoted through social media?
Since it was a film and television work, of course it would be only natural to hope that more people would watch the drama.
This was the main purpose.
“No matter what it is, do you really think that it is okay to approach the marketing and promotional team to ask about this matter?”
“If the effect is not achieved, why can’t we ask them about it? Your boyfriend is a major shareholder since he invested sixty million yuan in the drama. So, don’t you think that he has the right to speak up if there is a problem?”
Vera thought about it for a moment.
“Wait for me to communicate with Director Mong and the other investors first to see if they agree to adjust the propaganda method.”
Jiang Yuning nodded before she put down the phone. She was really disappointed with the trailer because it was not strong or alluring at all.
“I also feel that everyone from the marketing and promotional team will definitely hate you. Yuning, don’t you think that this is too much?”
“Really? So, do you want me to just sit back and endure it without doing anything at all?”
Vera felt that there was no way she could talk Jiang Yuning out of anything after she had already set her mind on something.
Moreover, Jiang Yuning was a multi-talented person who was not only an excellent actress but she was equipped with many other skills and talents as well.
…
After Vera explained Jiang Yuning’s plans to Gu Pingsheng, he thought hard for a moment before he replied, “So, she really thinks that this publicity company is rubbish?”
“Yes, Chairman Gu,” Vera replied as she rolled her eyes while standing next to Gu Pingsheng.
“Do we have a partners.h.i.+p or contractual agreement with that company? If we do, tell Yichen to prepare to terminate the contract.”
Vera: “!”
“We should not look down on Yuning. She is really very capable.”
Recently, the group of people that was suffering the most and having the most difficult times in Guangying Media was none other than the public relations team.
This was because they felt as though they could never measure up to Jiang Yuning no matter what they did.
Every time a new person comes in for an interview, Chairman Gu did not even look through their doc.u.ments but he simply asked them directly, “Do you think you will be able to beat Jiang Yuning at this job?”
Often times, the other party would shake his head directly, before getting up and leave.
This time Jiang Yuning even offered to do the marketing and promotional work on her own!
“Chairman Gu, you are not going to stop her? Aren’t you afraid that people will start opposing this?”
Gu Ping smiled as he replied Vera, “Didn’t you say that Yuning and Jingzhi are preparing for their upcoming wedding? I have also prepared a wedding gift for her. Guangying Media’s shares.”
