After hearing Tangning's response, Mo Ting couldn't help but pinch her nose, "You're actually brave enough to consider that."
"There's nothing that I'm too scared to consider, especially when it's something that I actually want you to do. Elder Nangong did indeed see a portion of the script and no one knows if he got any ideas from what he saw. Plus, didn't Lu Che say that he's been contacting an American film agency? This is the only way we can ensure the safety of our script."
Previously, with 'Stupid', they had already experienced a leaked script once. At that time, they published a book and guaranteed the copyright. But, this time, the situation was different, so publishing a book wasn't a feasible option.
"What do you think? Do you want to take this gamble with me?"
Mo Ting looked at Tangning with a smile. If this was in the past, a suggestion like this would never be approved by the board of directors.
But now, the shareholders' tolerance towards Tangning had increased as they witnessed her abilities.
In fact, they probably doted on Tangning more than her husband did.
As long as Tangning made the suggestion, the higher-ups were willing to take it into serious consideration. Someone even once told Mo Ting not to be so strict on his wife.
"Since that's what you want, then I'll ask everyone back at the office to draft out a feasible plan. We need to guarantee that the marketing after the release will be effective."
Tangning nodded her head with a huge smile on her face; she was pleased with President Mo's trust..
...
The next day, Mo Ting announced Tangning's suggestion at a board meeting. He explained that the script had been leaked, so to prevent Elder Nangong from playing any tricks, Tangning decided not to follow the conventional path.
Of course, this was a huge risk.
Even though everyone was confident with the quality of the film, releasing it without doing any marketing, was something that was unheard of (of course, b-grade movies weren't included).
Since 'The Ant Queen 2' was an important project for Hai Rui, everyone felt a lot of pressure. But, Mo Ting asked Lu Che to show everyone some statistics, "According to statistics from the past two years, anything that Tangning has been involved in, has received top results. I'm not just talking about 'The Ant Queen'. Even her first film, 'Stupid', still has a ridiculously high number of views online and is often a trending topic of discussion."
"What do these statistics mean?"
"It means, everyone's already labeled Tangning's films as classics. In other words, everyone acknowledges the quality of her films. So, even when she doesn't have anything new to screen, they still continue to rewatch her old productions."
"So? This is a form of promotion in itself!"
"This is more effective than any marketing plan."
"I've already decided that 'The Ant Queen 2' will be released on the same date that 'The Ant Queen' was originally released. Hai Rui will hold a special event to celebrate the anniversary of the first film and they will give everyone a gift by releasing 'The Ant Queen 2' at midnight the same night. That way, the two films will feel more connected and it will be marketed effectively."
"What do you all think?"
When it came to films, the shareholders had no authority to speak like Tangning. Similarly, when it came to marketing and PR, they had no authority to speak like Mo Ting.
"Since President Mo's already planned everything, let's just go with it. If we want the film to be a big hit, it's necessary to promote in a unique way. That's the only way to survive in this industry," a shareholder said as he raised his hand in agreement.
"We don't have any objections either."
The agency's higher-ups also let out a sigh of relief, "I actually think this is quite interesting. This will reignite the hype for the first film while giving the audience a pleasant surprise and providing the internet with a story to discuss. Everyone's a winner in this situation."
"Since that's the case, then let's go with this decision. Let's catch our competitors by surprise."
