As for Yang Meiyue…
Because one of her seniors had the company’s resources, and the other had her own film industry resources, most of the resources were given to her.
After coming out of Produce 101, Meiyue had the best development in the team. She alone had more jobs than the entire team combined.
She was considered an actress on a national level.
Hence, at that moment when Jiadian Group sent red packets to the whole nation, they turned them into cards. This was a huge advertisement.
When the citizens studied the rules and the collection of cards, they would constantly call out their names.
For example, in each WeChat group, someone asked, “Does anyone have Han Yi? I have an extra Yang Meiyue that I want to exchange with you guys. Any takers?”
.
Meanwhile, in some remote cities, the aunties and aunties who had never seen these female celebrities before recognized these female celebrities because of these cards. “This girl is so pretty! What’s her name?”
“What? Lin Jiali? Tsk tsk, she’s so pretty!”
Since female celebrities had received so much exposure, it was needless to say that they were the of the Findme app.
As a convenient public service and part-time work app in major cities, the Work and Study app and the Findme app already had a huge user base. Many young students use the Findme app to check courses, find part-time jobs, check nearby restaurants, and so on in school. The parents of the young students use the Work and Study app to pay for water and electricity, as well as broadband fees.
This time, the Work and Study app activated these users again. It also activated all the people around them.
Thus, everyone participated in the collection of cards to receive red packets!
Using this opportunity, the Findme app launched a service that was closer to financial services such as the livestream fee and group purchase. This also allowed everyone to make use of the red packets that they had obtained.
On top of that, if they wanted to cash out, they would have to link their bank cards. Therefore, the Findme app successfully managed to obtain the first batch of users to pay using the Findme app. They also implanted the impression that they were a financial software in the minds of the entire country.
This was not the end of it.
In order to revive the entire app, Zhao Licheng, who was originally stationed in Korea as a globalization strategy, especially flew back to China. He held more than 10 meetings and sent thousands of professionals to various cities to dock with the transportation system.
With Su Yang’s help, all the public transportation and subway payments in the major cities across the country were seeking the Findme app to link up.
From then on, only mobile phones with FNC functions could be used. All of them could be used to charge bus cards and subway cards through the Findme app.
However, at this point, Jiadian Group did not feel satisfied as they continued to push forward the payment process. In the beginning, they had found more than 10 super-large cities to try out, and they actively spent money to upgrade the transportation facilities in these cities, increasing the function of the public transport and subway system to scan the code.
Under Zhao Licheng’s iron rule, these things were implemented within half a month.
Before the Chinese New Year, the residents of these cities only needed to hold the Jiadian app to scan the QR code and would directly be able to take public transports. It was extremely convenient.
Times were moving forward. In just a month, the construction of the city and the lives around the people had changed.
These were more convenient, more affordable, and more convenient changes that were improving people’s lives. It also made Su Yang’s coins and the number of people influenced increase like crazy.
For the past few days, Su Yang was a little lost in his thoughts as he looked at the number of coins he had in his system.
‘I could’ve earned these many coins so quickly by doing civil service?
‘If I had known this could happen…
‘Why the heck would I produce movies!’
However, Su Yang eventually dismissed that idea. After all, he remembered that he produced movies not because he did not want to do charity, but because he did not have money at the time…
Then, while Su Yang was rejoicing over the increasing number of coins and the number of people influenced at the time, Guo Fan had ended up finding him.
As the director who had contributed greatly to his career, Su Yang naturally had to meet this friend of his, who was in his early stages of development.
Su Yang was very warm when he met Guo Fan, but Guo Fan was a little reserved.
After all, he had to be cautious.
The man before him was someone who had to be attended to by the presidents of various countries. He had three of the world’s top 50 corporations in his hands, and he was someone who stood at the peak of the world.
Therefore, even though Guo Fan wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Su Yang, he could not muster the courage to do so.
After all, not everyone was Wu Feng and could treat Su Yang normally.
Su Yang did not request for Guo Fan to be like before. Hence, he smiled casually and asked, “Director Guo, what brings you to look for me today?”
Guo Fan said, “Mr. Su, do you remember that I recommended a director to you previously?”
Su Yang recalled and…
He could not remember.
Guo Fan said, “His name is the Little Comparer, and he’s a good director. You thought very highly of it at that time and asked me to contact Mr. Zhao to directly invest in his project. After that, when the production of the movie was completed, the special effects were done by you personally. The movie is scheduled to be released during this year’s Spring Festival Gala.”
Su Yang was enlightened. “Oh, I remember now. It’s “The Devilish Boy”, right?”
Guo Fan nodded.
‘I remember now that I’ve got high hopes for the Little Comparer’s movie.
‘It’s not that I had any aesthetic taste for the movie, but Little Hus was able to detect a great fragrance.’ Hence, when Guo Fan invited the Little Comparer over to meet Su Yang, who welcomed him warmly and agreed to invest in the movie.
Later on, the Little Comparer would submit his special effects from time to time, and Su Yang threw all of them to the special effects servers that he had accumulated with the ability [Steps To Improvement].
After that, Su Yang took some time to edit the video.
Then, Su Yang ended up forgetting about it because he was busy.
And now… That particular movie was about to be released…
At that moment, Su Yang understood why Guo Fan went to look for him. ‘He wants me to help promote the movie.
‘With such a decent way of promoting the movie, it would be foolish not to use it.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said, “Sure. I’ll inform Mr. Zhao later and have him add this movie to the card collection.”
After saying that, Su Yang pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s set it as an SSR card.”
Guo Fan was stunned.
The purpose of his visit this time was indeed to add “The Devilish Boy” to the card collection.
Due to the popularity of the activity produced by Jiadian Group, when the director of “The Devilish Boy” saw it, he was envious and ran over to Guo Fan to ask for help.
Guo Fan had no choice after being bugged by the Little Comparer. Plus, he was optimistic about the movie.
Initially, he only wanted to add “The Devilish Boy” to the card collection as an R card to gain some exposure.
After all, this movie had not been released yet, so no one knew the results.
The cards set by Jiadian Group had a clear pattern—they were arranged according to results, influence, and representation. Hence, it was already a blessing to be able to include a project like “The Devilish Boy” that had not been tested by the market.
Therefore, Guo Fan did not expect Su Yang to rank the movie as an SSR worthy card directly.
This made Guo Fan panic.
He quickly tried to persuade him, “No, there’s no need for that, Mr. Su. Don’t you think that ranking it as an SSR would be too much? If it fails…”
Guo Fan did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. If the movie failed, it would affect the entire Jiadian Group’s reputation.
The billions of yuan that Jiadian Group had thrown during the whole of Chinese New Year might become a laughingstock because of this.
Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Recalling Su Yang’s battle record and Su Yang’s foresight, Guo Fan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could only keep his persuasion to himself.
At that moment, he only felt that his good friend, the Little Comparer, was really lucky. ‘He’s actually so favored by Su Yang and is even being promoted so heavily! Now, it’s going to be hard for him not to be popular!’
Sure enough, over the next few days, a mysterious SSR card scrolled through every corner of the local Internet.
There was a strange character on the card: a child with smoky makeup and shark teeth. The child claimed to be the king of the world, and he was planning to turn the world upside down so that everyone could accompany him.
With such an interesting setting, the netizens could not help but wonder if this was the role of a movie that Jiadian Group was about to launch.
And the name of the card did reveal this: “The Devilish Boy”.
The scale of the activity organized by Jiadian Group this year could be said to be far larger than other corporations. Even Ali and Tencent could not compare to them. Therefore, it became the event that the entire country paid the most attention to.
This kind of event had a scary amount of attention. When a new card appeared, it immediately spreaded across the internet.
Soon, everyone in the country knew that Jiadian Pictures was about to launch its fourth movie.
Jiadian Pictures was a new and prestigious entertainment industry. Under Su Yang’s leadership, it had achieved great results.
The first online movie had become the first in the box office for all online movies. It had broken the record for the box office of online movies.
The first cinema movie it released had entered the top 50 movies in history, and the top 15 movies of the year.
Their second cinema movie, “Wandering Planet”, directly reached the top of the box office rankings.
Not only did it create the myth that domestic movies had never made a big sci-fi movie, but it also made China’s own special effects stand shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood for the first time.
And just as people were shocked that Jiadian had reached its peak so quickly…
Half a year later, Jiadian Pictures used a sequel to break their own record. Not only did they take over the top two spots in the movie history box office, but they also far surpassed the third place.
This was practically a legend.
Among them, Su Yang, who was the producer, director, investor, line producer, and special effects producer, became the center of attention.
On that day, the fourth movie, Su Yang, was the producer, producer, investor, producer, and special effects producer.
Coupled with Jiadian’s Spring Festival Gala’s money-making event, everyone’s expectations were raised.
Even though everyone was shocked by Su Yang’s subversive image, they were still optimistic about the movie.
In particular, the rise of cartoons on a national scale had started in the past two years. Therefore, everyone was looking forward to seeing what changes Su Yang could bring to the country’s cartoons industry!
As the new year approached, time seemed to pass much faster.
The international environment was worsening, and Draenor was becoming more and more unpredictable. Su Yang’s mastermind was preparing to take action and give Draenor a heavy blow, but the country was in a festive mood.
Unknowingly, Chinese New Year had arrived…
Su Yang returned to his hometown to spend the festive season with his parents.
As a world-renowned entrepreneur, Su Yang had done a lot of things in his hometown in the past two years. For example, repairing roads, renovating old cities, investing in factories, and so on.
Given the size of Jiadian Group at that moment, even a small leak would be enough for Su Yang’s hometown to earn a fortune.
For example, Su Yang’s hometown had tens of thousands of people working in a subsidiary factory with the addition of related industries. Not only that, but it also brought about a huge amount of GDP.
Needless to say, Su Yang had been supporting his hometown all these years.
As a result, when the big shots in the city heard that Su Yang had returned to his hometown, they immediately wanted to pay him a visit.
However, before they could do anything, they had no choice but to give way. This was because the provincial governor had arrived earlier than them.
At that moment, Su Yang’s status in the country was rather high. Furthermore, he had the Jiangs as his backer, and he was one of their “close friends”. Therefore, all the big shots did not make a big deal out of it and tried to get to know him.
Because of that, there was an endless stream of commercial cars coming to Su Yang’s hometown.
The villagers who lived in the same village as Su Yang had never seen such a scene before.
There were so many characters that could only be seen on television, but all of them came to such a small village, so they all started to become spectators. This was one of the interesting things in their simple lives.
After busying himself with the festive season and chatting with the big shots about the economy, Su Yang returned to Shanghai. He brought along gifts and went to Chu Xia’s house to pay his respects…
Chu Xia’s parents were surprised to see a famous person like Su Yang.
Actually, they knew that Chu Xia had dated Su Yang before, but they had always thought that it was all in the past.
In the past half a year or even a year, Chu Xia had stopped talking about Su Yang at home. She would occasionally stare at Su Yang’s news in a daze.
Therefore, they thought that the two youngsters had broken up because of a fight.
After all, they were young, so it was normal for them to break up.
Furthermore, Su Yang had been developing too quickly in the past few years. He was improving by leaps and bounds. He could even appear on News Simulcast once a month.
Therefore, it was normal for him to have a change of heart for someone else, or perhaps be just too busy.
Actually, the couple heaved a sigh of relief after guessing that Su Yang and Chu Xia had broken up.
Initially, the two of them liked Su Yang quite a bit. They felt that he was an ambitious person who was handsome, had a good personality, and was very compatible with their daughter.
However, when Su Yang progressed so quickly, they started to doubt if their daughter was really suitable to be with Su Yang.
After all, they had seen the feuds between the wealthy families often…
