Three days later.
Feng Yan Entertainment Co., Ltd. officially held its ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Zhao Yan held the scissors and cut the red ribbon with a single stroke.
Many people stood on either side.
As the red ribbon was cut, applause erupted.
"Congratulations, Miss Zhao, oh no, I can't call you Miss Zhao anymore, haha, I have to call you CEO Zhao!" Boss Zhou said with a smile.
He had learned that Zhao Yan's company was holding its grand opening and had specifically postponed many business dealings to attend.
Zhao Yan replied, "You can still call me Zhao Yan or Miss Zhao."
"Haha, alright! But CEO Zhao, why didn't you tell me you were opening a company? Can I invest one hundred million yuan now and get a ten percent share?" Boss Zhou said with a smile.
Knowing that Lin Xihang was a shrewd businessman, he dared to invest three hundred million yuan in Zhao Yan. After some thought, he realized this matter was extraordinary.
He carefully examined Zhao Yan's recent changes. It wasn't until he investigated that he was truly shocked.
Zhao Yan was now incredibly popular.
A single comment on Weibo could garner over two hundred thousand replies, which was truly terrifying.
"Boss Zhou, you'll have to discuss this with Boss Lin. I'm just a figurehead," Zhao Yan said.
Lin Xihang was responsible for all aspects of the company, and she would simply receive seventy percent of the profits.
"Alright, I'll ask him later," Boss Zhou said, glancing at Lin Xihang, knowing it was probably unlikely.
"Congratulations, Xiao Zhao, on your grand opening! May it be prosperous!" He Jing walked over, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Zhao Yan accepted them and nodded, "Thank you, Teacher He."
Seeing many people following behind He Jing, all of whom were celebrities, some of whom Zhao Yan didn't recognize, it was only with Wu Jiaxin's reminders that she could vaguely identify these stars.
"Congratulations, if there's anything you need, you can tell us," Zhang Lei said.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang Lei," Zhao Yan replied.
Lin Xihang walked to Zhao Yan's side.
He handed her a notebook.
"What is this?" Zhao Yan asked.
Lin Xihang said, "This is a script I purchased, titled 'The Legend of the Sword Immortal.' We plan for Miss Zhao to play the role of Zhao Ling'er!"
"We are still missing some celebrities. Miss Zhao, see if there are any suitable ones among the celebrities attending the ribbon-cutting."
Zhao Yan looked at the script and instantly fell in love with it.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, you'll just play yourself."
"This script is excellent. If filmed, it will definitely be a hit. We plan to invest all our resources into this drama."
Lin Xihang became more excited as he spoke.
"Alright, we'll do as you say," Zhao Yan replied.
After the successful ribbon-cutting, Zhao Yan also expanded her network.
The studio was also established.
Lin Xihang brought many people from the company to the new company.
Everyone was diligently focused on one task: making "The Legend of the Sword Immortal" a success.
Zhao Yan joined the cast. With the blessing of Yang Qi, she appeared to possess an ethereal aura.
There was no need for makeup at all.
Even though Zhao Yan was new to acting, the veteran actors in this scene immersed her in the role, giving her a natural and effortless performance.
It was as if she was born for this character.
She spent half a year engrossed in this television series.
The old man was released from prison, and Zhao Yan had to ask Wang Xianzhi to pick him up.
She was too busy to do it herself, but in her spare time, she continued to draw talismans.
"The Legend of the Sword Immortal" was successfully filmed.
A year had passed.
As the words "Congratulations, you've wrapped up filming" were spoken, the entire crew stood up and applauded.
"Sister Zhao, water!" Wu Jiaxin handed her a bottle of water and said to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan thanked Wu Jiaxin and felt happy seeing them happy.
She also did palm readings and fortune-telling for the crew members, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
"I can't believe it's wrapped up so quickly. It went by so fast."
"Yeah, even though it's been over half a year, time really flies."
They had expected Zhao Yan, like other popular celebrities, to be temperamental.
However, after interacting with her these past few days, they found Zhao Yan to be very gentle. If anyone had difficulties, she would help them if she could.
"It was filmed exceptionally well. The director praised you. This drama will be sent to the editing department for post-production and then submitted for review. Once approved, it will be on television soon," Lin Xihang said.
Speaking of this, Lin Xihang was also a bit nervous.
He had orchestrated a grand plan.
The director was someone he had paid to recruit to the new company, the actors were also hired with his money, and even the auntie who brought water was a member of the company.
Everyone in the crew was an employee of Feng Yan Entertainment Company.
The investment in this drama was substantial, which made the subsequent promotion very challenging.
If it failed, the company might face bankruptcy.
"Okay, you've worked hard too," Zhao Yan said.
Lin Xihang gave a wry smile, his hair almost turning white for this drama. "I have one more thing to mention."
Zhao Yan nodded, "Go ahead."
"Our company's initial investment was too aggressive, which will make the later promotion phase quite difficult."
"We need Miss Zhao to promote this drama on Weibo to increase its popularity."
"If possible, please conduct a live stream to promote it."
"No problem with that," Zhao Yan agreed.
"Alright, let's schedule it for tonight," Lin Xihang said.
"Then, what kind of live stream should we do?" Zhao Yan asked.
Lin Xihang thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it your way. I think you understand it better than we do."
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said, "Dream interpretation live stream!"
"Everyone dreams. Some dreams have a prophetic quality."
"By interpreting these dreams, I think it will be very effective," Zhao Yan said.
Lin Xihang murmured softly, understanding Zhao Yan's idea, and clapped his hands, "Great, let's do a dream interpretation live stream as you suggested."
Zhao Yan gave a soft hum.
Lin Xihang told her to rest first and that the live stream would begin tonight.
For this live stream, Lin Xihang mobilized the company's resources, with many people busy setting up the new live stream room.
To achieve the best results, Zhao Yan enlisted the help of the idle old man.
Since the old man was released from prison, he had been either walking his dog or sitting by the roadside watching beautiful women's legs.
He was like a loafer, not doing any proper work.
Around 7 PM, this was the time when people were most active online.
Many prime-time programs were broadcast between 8 and 9 PM.
To promote the drama "The Legend of the Sword Immortal," her live stream background was the poster for "The Legend of the Sword Immortal."
Zhao Yan was positioned in the center.
All the actors in this drama were seasoned performers.
"Disciple, so many people are waiting even before you've started broadcasting," the old man said, pointing at the screen with some nervousness.
Three hours earlier, Zhao Yan had posted a live stream announcement on Weibo.
Three hours later, the number of people waiting online had already exceeded 500,000, and this was before the live stream had even begun.
