Chapter 62 Sugar-coated bullets
Before attending the final celebration banquet for "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Lin Feng met with Zhong Junyan, chairman of Huanrui.

Lin Feng originally thought that Zhong Junyan would give him a warning, but unexpectedly, she gave Lin Feng a big surprise.

"Lin Feng, I was not wrong about you at that time. It is your wonderful performance that has made "Gu Jian Qi Tan" what it is today."

Lin Feng is not very clear about how much money "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has made for Huanrui, but from the smiling faces of all Huanrui people, it can be seen that Huanrui has really made a lot of money.

As the saying goes, "Even though you are not in the martial arts world, your legend still lives on in the martial arts world." Although many days have passed, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has come to an end.

However, the phenomenal popularity of the drama continues, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life and successfully upgrading an entertainment event into a social hot spot.

It was on the day of the celebration banquet that the total online broadcast volume of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" officially exceeded 10 billion.

Not only did it become the most-watched TV series in Chinese history, it also became the first TV series in Chinese history to exceed 10 billion hits.

At that time, the number of online views had just started to rise. Let alone hundreds of billions, even tens of billions were very impressive figures. Hundreds of billions of views really shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Even "Gu Jian Qi Tan" won the 2014 Jinrui Marketing Award for "China's Best Social Media Marketing Case Award".
In the past, cases submitted by advertisers, agencies, and media such as Ogilvy, Lenovo, and Yingyang Legend Group have won gold and silver medals at the Golden Ray Awards.

This year, leading companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Mengniu, and Baidu gathered together, but the award was won by "Gujian Qitan" with its outstanding marketing and publicity operations.

As the only film and television work to win this year's Golden Ray Marketing Award, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is indeed a truly "phenomenal" TV series.

Facing Zhong Junyan's praise, Lin Feng was very modest. Although "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was more successful than the previous life, the absolute factor was not Lin Feng himself. He said modestly:
"Mr. Zhong, you're too polite. This is Huanrui's victory. I just did what I should do. In fact, I am the biggest beneficiary. It is the Huanrui family that made me what I am today!"

"Lin Feng, it's rare that you can still maintain your current state, but our board of directors knows who has contributed what.

I came here this time to commend your contribution and give you 50 shares of Huanrui's original shares worth 2.5 yuan for free.

Although Huanrui cannot go public this year, I believe it will be successful next year or the year after, and these shares will be worth a lot of money by then!"

Huanrui not only did not give him a warning, but also gave him shares. Others did not know the value of Huanrui shares, but how could Lin Feng not know?
At that time, Lin Feng also read the news. When Huanrui went public, it increased 10 times. This is not a small amount of money! It seems that He Shengming, who followed Huanrui from the beginning, made the most money.

At this time, Lin Feng was a little bit unable to understand what Huanrui was up to. Was there some trap or sugar-coated bullet or something?

In fact, Lin Feng was really overthinking it. Huanrui's Zhong Junyan is considered a big boss in the film and television business, and she is also a strong woman who knows how to make trade-offs.

Before this, Zhong Junyan had already communicated with relevant personnel of the senior team and even considered the possibility of banning Lin Feng.

"Our own famous artist doesn't act in our own TV series and TV dramas, and doesn't accept related endorsement advertisements. Isn't this Lin Feng taking himself too seriously?
It was obviously such a good opportunity to make money. The script and production team of "Fall in Love Like a Star" were both good, and Yang Mi had agreed to it, but he was unwilling to go!
What would happen if we forced him to take on "Fall in Love with You"? Can we bypass his "absolute autonomy" clause in the agency contract? "

"This is unlikely, because it is clearly stipulated in the contract. After all, Lin Feng must sign and agree, otherwise there is no way around it." "Hey, why did they have to add this clause when signing the contract? In the future, will he be able to act in all our Huanrui dramas if he wants to? If not, he won't act!

In my opinion, it would be better to ban him completely, so that other artists won’t follow suit in the future!"

These were said by Jia Shikai, and after he finished speaking, all the senior executives of Huanrui stared at him with wide eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up.

At this time, Jia Shikai also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Could Lin Feng be banned now?

"Um... I was just saying it casually. We can't ban such a big star even if we want to!"

"Okay, stop saying those words without anger.
But Mr. Jia is right about one thing. When you sign contracts with other artists in the future, you must be careful.
There cannot be any more clauses like "absolute autonomy". We at Huanrui must be guaranteed absolute power, and he can shoot whatever he is allowed to shoot and take whatever role he is allowed to take.

As for Lin Feng, we will make special arrangements for him. His current fan base is beyond the reach of Huanrui.
In my opinion, not only should we not have conflicts with Lin Feng, but we should also try our best to satisfy his demands. After all, not counting the agency share, the influence he has brought to Huanrui cannot be underestimated.
Look at those investors and agents who are ready to discuss cooperation, as well as those new actors who are flocking to him. This is Lin Feng's influence.

As for "Love in the Stars", if Lin Feng doesn't want to act, then he doesn't have to act. We won't force him. But we still have to see what Yang Mi thinks.
If Yang Mi still agrees to act, then the project will continue to be implemented. It's just a matter of changing the actors!

Since Lin Feng doesn't want to look down on Huanrui's own dramas, then we should quickly train new actors. After all, there are many newcomers who want to stand out.
Moreover, Lin Feng's success also proves that Huanrui's strategy of "traffic + IP + marketing" is correct.
Since we can train a Lin Feng, why not train a second Lin Feng? Wouldn’t that be great!
By the way, when will Li Yifeng's "In Love with Fragrance" and Li Yifeng and Yang Yang's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" be broadcast? "

Zhong Junyan is a businessman, she always considers things from the perspective of profit and convenience. Now Lin Feng is Huanrui's biggest cash cow, she will definitely spoil him.
But if one day, she can gain enough benefits by banning Lin Feng, she will lay down her butcher knife without hesitation.

“李一峰和唐研的《活色生香》，定于2015年2月4日开播；至于李一峰和杨阳的《盗墓笔记》目前刚拍摄完，最快也得明年2015年6月份开播。”姜磊说道。

“Well, keep an eye on these two dramas. As long as one of them can achieve the same performance as “Gu Jian Qi Tan”, we at Huanrui will make a fortune and have a second leading star!” Zhong Junyan made the decision.

“As for Lin Feng, he is currently Huanrui’s biggest star, and we must strongly support him. I will discuss the details with him when we meet later.

By the way, next year we are going to start filming the super IP "Zhu Xian", if Lin Feng doesn't play the role, who should we choose as the male lead?"

"If Lin Feng doesn't act, Yang Yang will definitely be the male lead!" Jia Shikai said, after all, Yang Yang is his artist.

"Our Li Yifeng is not bad either. Besides, we still have a TV series called "Fragrance of Life" that has not been aired yet." Li Yifeng's agent Dong Keyan also tried to persuade him.

Dong Keyan almost got the role in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" from Lin Feng back then, but her own artist Li Yifeng failed to live up to the expectations and his acting skills were far surpassed by Lin Feng.

"Okay, stop arguing. There are too many things involved in Zhu Xian, and there is a lot of preparation work to do in the early stages. It will take at least the second half of next year to start filming.
Let's wait and see how "In Love with Fragrance" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" perform. "Zhong Junyan's meaning was very clear, she would decide the male lead of "Zhu Xian" based on the ratings.
