Fans quickly gathered on Kaleidoscope’s social media account and started leaving comments, “I’m extremely excited for the film! The sequel looks better than the first film because the story looks so interesting!”
“I really like the way that Emma’s team created ‘The Ant Queen’ saga. It doesn’t focus on love like other films. I hate it when I watch a thriller and there’s always a hero and a damsel in distress!”
“We really need to cheer for Emma and Mr. Roborts! Especially Mr. Roborts; he’s handsome as hell! I can’t believe he’s the villain in this film. He’s so cool!”
In an instant, a sci-fi craze swept through New York.
A scene like this could only be created by the Roberts Couple…
…
At this time, Superstar Media also delivered some good news. The old singer, Qin Xue, who Lin Qian personally discovered, was successfully relaunched on stage in Vienna after a huge battle with her old agency.
At the lowest point in her life, Qin Xue relied on scavenging to survive.
This was a huge story in the entertainment industry. An old woman, who had already experienced half a century, was successfully relaunched onto the music scene. On top of that, she got to return to her dream stage.
Everyone in the industry began to say that Lin Qian inherited Emma’s abilities and that she could now support Superstar Media on her own.
Afterwards, many hopeful artists began to contact Lin Qian and her desk quickly piled up with portfolios. It seemed, Superstar Media had returned to how it used to be when Emma was still around.
So, for Kaleidoscope’s annual celebration banquet, Emma gave Eric a suggestion, “I hope you can assign a few more professionals to work with Lin Qian. At least, give her less to worry about while she’s trying to scout for new talent.”
“Lin Qian’s already spoken to me. But, Kaleidoscope has no intention of getting involved with Superstar Media’s operations. Lin Qian has her own plans.”
“I never thought she’d be quicker than me,” Emma laughed as she folded her kids’ clothes.
After hearing Emma’s response, Eric pulled her into his arms and sat her on his lap, “‘The Ant Queen 2’ will be released at the beginning of next year.”
“Why so soon?”
“Have you forgotten? The old man looked at our script. No matter what he has planned, I think it’s best for us to release our film as soon as possible.”
“Then, how about this? If we truly want to make the old man flustered, we should pick a date and release it without promoting the date.”
“Are you that confident?” Eric asked as he hugged his wife. “I’m sure you know that a film could fail if it isn’t marketed properly.”
“I have faith in the film, I have faith in the audience and, most importantly, I have faith in the market. If it’s a bad film, then no amount of promoting will be able to save it. But, if it’s a good film, then word-of-mouth is already the best form of promotion.”
After hearing Emma’s response, Eric 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 Luke 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?”
Eric looked at Emma 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 Emma had increased as they witnessed her abilities.
In fact, they probably doted on Emma more than her husband did.
As long as Emma made the suggestion, the higher-ups were willing to take it into serious consideration. Someone even once told Eric 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.”
Emma nodded her head with a huge smile on her face; she was pleased with Mr. Roborts’s trust..
…
The next day, Eric announced Emma’s suggestion at a board meeting. He explained that the script had been leaked, so to prevent Elder Nangong from playing any tricks, Emma 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 Kaleidoscope, everyone felt a lot of p**ssure. But, Eric asked Luke to show everyone some statistics, “According to statistics from the past two years, anything that Emma 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 Emma’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. Kaleidoscope 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 Emma. Similarly, when it came to marketing and PR, they had no authority to speak like Eric.
“Since Mr. Roborts’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.”
Kaleidoscope’s people anticipated the outcome of this marketing method.
Without any prior marketing, ‘The Ant Queen 2’ became a tougher test on everyone’s abilities. If the quality was too bad, then there was no way it would be able to survive.
However, everyone had faith in Eric because, as the decision-maker, he had never made a mistake in the past.
…
Meanwhile, Elder Nangong never imagined that Emma and Eric would do something so unconventional. In his mind, the couple seemed like they’d follow the typical path.
He kept a close eye on Kaleidoscope because he wanted the Americans to release their film just before Kaleidoscope, but not too early.
He wanted to feed off the hype of ‘The Ant Queen’, but he also wanted to sue ‘The Ant Queen 2’ for copyright.
So, he waited and waited for Eric to announce an official release date.
But, his waiting was pointless, because Kaleidoscope had no intention of making an announcement.
“Are they really this patient?”
Why wouldn’t they be?
This was such an odd question.
‘The Ant Queen’ was originally released on December 16th, so ‘The Ant Queen 2’ was scheduled to be released on the 2nd year anniversary of the first film.
But, at this time, a small rumor started spreading through the industry. Nathan had apparently returned and was planning to rebuild Global Pictures Entertainment.
If this matter didn’t have something to do with Emma, no one would have taken notice of Nathan at all. But, either way, Global Pictures was ancient history for Emma; it was so long ago that she could barely remember much of it. After all, her identity and status was on a completely different level to Nathan now.
Kaleidoscope had the capability of destroying a small agency at any time, but Eric did not think of Nathan as an enemy because of something that Emma told him that night.
“Mr. Roborts, you shouldn’t let this concern you. Because, in my heart, Nathan can’t even be mentioned in the same breath as you.”
Eric was pleased by these words.
…
Meanwhile, over at the Nangong Family Household, Nangong Quan was working on a new project after he left the hospital. Since he had promised to hand ‘Parasite’ over to Elder Nangong, he did not go back on his word. Instead, he placed his focus on something else so he could make up for everyone’s loss.
Of course, his relationship with Elder Nangong was now at a point of no return. After all, the old man had poisoned him. No matter how forgiving Nangong Quan was, this would forever leave a scar in his heart.
After his life and death situation this time, Nangong Quan became even more protective of his wife and daughter.
At least, around Elder Nangong, he no longer retreated blindly.
