Chapter 558: Chapter 527 Palace Intrigue Drama_1
The following days.
The movie’s promotion began.
And Lin Yuan officially graduated from his five-year program a few days later. For this, he made a special trip to Qin Continent Art Academy to participate in the final dissertation defense arranged by the school–
That’s right!
He’s a graduate now!
The thesis was completed by Lin Yuan during his downtime in the competition. With his compositional skills under the guidance of Yang Zhongming’s character card training, completing such a thesis was not tough. However, Lin Yuan was somewhat baffled during his defense as the teacher in charge didn’t ask any thesis-related questions from start to finish, only some random gossiping questions. In the end, the teacher even asked for Lin Yuan’s autograph and a chance to take a photo together, to which Lin Yuan agreed.
Then.
Taking graduation photos.
The shooting times of the graduation photos for different faculties were separate, so there were no other students around. However, even the composition department’s people couldn’t help but let out a wave of screams when they saw Lin Yuan.
Someone first shouted “Admirable Fish”…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The entire scene was shouting “Admirable Fish”.
Among them, Lin Yuan’s original roommates and classmates, even his desk-mate, were the most excited. In the end, Lin Yuan himself couldn’t even remember how many group photos he had taken and how many autographs he had given. Even the teachers and many school leaders, including the principal, came to join in the fun, insisting on participating in the composition department’s graduation photo shoot. As a result, what should’ve been a simple graduation photo shoot turned into something akin to a fan meeting for Lin Yuan, with both the process and outcome being exceptionally grand.
The fortunate thing was:
The school didn’t let in the reporters who had already found out that Admirable Fish was returning to school today to take graduation photos, otherwise these reporters would have been even crazier. Since being unveiled on “The Masked Singer”, Admirable Fish hadn’t shown his face in a public setting. As he didn’t like attending interviews, the public’s curiosity towards Admirable Fish remained unsatisfied.
So.
After the commotion.
Lin Yuan rode home in Lil Goodoong’s car. Gu Dong suddenly smiled and asked, “Mr. Lin, are you planning on going to a movie tonight? If you need, I can help you book a seat.”
“No need.”
Lin Yuan knew that the movie Gu Dong was talking about was “Spiderman”. Not only was today his thesis defense and graduation photo day, but it was also the official premiere day of that movie. However, since he had already watched the movie one time at the company, he didn’t have any interest in revisiting it so soon and opted to take his dog for a walk instead.
“Alright.”
Gu Dong nodded.
At this point, Lin Yuan took out his phone to scroll through his friends’ circle, and surprisingly, he saw quite a lot of related content about “Spiderman”.
Such as the post by Zhao Ying Ge in her friends’ circle:
[Going to watch “Spiderman” tonight.]
The post was accompanied by a photo of a “Spiderman” movie ticket.
Then Jiang Kui also posted an update:[Teacher Admirable Fish’s new movie is out. I don’t have a boyfriend yet but I still bought two tickets in support of Teacher Admirable Fish’s new work!]
The post was accompanied by photos of two “Spiderman” movie tickets.
And then.
Chen Zhiyu surprisingly also posted an update:
[Watching “Spiderman” tonight. If anyone wants to join, you are welcome. I’ve booked the entire theater.]
Accompanying the post was…
A screenshot of the purchase of tickets for the entire hall.
In the end.
Lin Yuan scrolled to Sun Yaohuo’s post.
[Tonight, anyone who watches “Spiderman” can enjoy a 60% dining discount at all branches of our Flaming Catering with their ticket stubs. Additionally, you can also receive a free Flaming Catering membership card. As long as you watch Teacher Admirable Fish’s new movie, we’re good friends!]
Attached was a photo of in-store advertisements and tribal promotion.
At this point, they had arrived home. Lin Yuan casually liked Sun Yaohuo’s post and then got out of the car.
…
Zhao Ying Ge looked at her friends’ circle and was stunned.
She had made her post mainly to curry favor with Admirable Fish.
But she hadn’t expected that her post would look so humble compared to the others.
“Is this how everyone plays?”
For the first time, Zhao Ying Ge understood the terror of Sun Yaohuo and the others. She had just recently joined this small circle around Admirable Fish and didn’t understand how brutal this circle could be.
Now, she sort of got it.
At the same time.
Jiang Kui was also a bit confused.
It’s understood about Sun Yaohuo, but how come Chen Zhiyu had also become so proficient?
Supporting the movie is support…
Why did you book the entire theater?
Can you surpass that guy Sun Yaohuo?
Of course.
The most confused was Chen Zhiyu.
He thought that booking the entire theater was quite impressive already.
But he hadn’t imagined that Sun Yaohuo would also have such a move!
What’s this about?
Wait a minute!
Under Sun Yaohuo’s friend circle, there was a prominent notice: “Your friend, Teacher Admirable Fish, thinks this is fantastic.”
Admirable Fish liked Sun Yaohuo’s post!
Chen Zhiyu sighed.
The agent next to him couldn’t help but look up, his face peculiarly odd, “Why am I having such a strong sense of déjà vu?”
Chen Zhiyu: “What?”
Agent: “Palace harem fighting.”
Chen Zhiyu: “That’s a bit far-fetched, isn’t it?”
Agent shrugging: “Then how do you explain the fact that you don’t like each other’s posts?”
Chen Zhiyu: “…”
Several similar posts had been made by the fish, but none of them mutually liked each other’s posts.
Either way you look at it, it seems fishy.
“They’re the ones being weird.”
Chen Zhiyu defended himself earnestly, “We all acted like siblings on ‘The Masked Singer’. But after the show, everyone’s true colours came out!”
The agent just shook his head.
He felt a sour hint in Chen Zhiyu’s words.
Chen Zhiyu indeed felt bitter.
The fish school was gathering perfectly fine, but he somehow fell behind the pack!
He was, after all…
He was the first one to become a top-tier singer!
Among the fish in the show, only Chen Zhiyu had collaborated with Admirable Fish after becoming a top-tier singer. Yet, now he felt he was being overtaken by others incessantly.
No way!
This can’t go on!
Chen Zhiyu felt he needed to put in more effort!
Among this group of fish, Jiang Kui should become the Queen of Singing first.
Then he must become the King of Singing before Sun Yaohuo does!
Among this group of fish,
Only Sun Yaohuo, let out a lonely laugh of an expert, these people were far from catching up.
He bowed his head, took out his cellphone, and opened his large catering group chat: “All the store managers, put up the Spiderman posters tonight, Flaming Catering will have a Spiderman theme tonight, the designs must be new and interesting!”
“Received!”
“Received!”
“Received!”
The managers responded one after another.
At this moment, a newly appointed manager spoke, “Boss, isn’t our discount a bit too steep? From the market research I conducted, ‘Legend of the Dragonman’ is going to be a significant competitor to Admirable Fish’s movie both in terms of investment and the cast. So, if Admirable Fish’s movie doesn’t turn out to be a hit…”
“Why are you overthinking things?”
“You’re not supporting Fish Papa’s movie?”
“We support Fish Papa unconditionally!”
“What’s a little loss!”
“Isn’t it enough to support Fish Papa?”
The other managers instantly rallied in support.
Sun Yaohuo nodded approvingly and then tagged the doubting manager, saying:
“Just do as instructed.”
What’s with all this talk about whether it’s a hit or not?
This new manager isn’t great.
Everyone under my Flaming Catering banner, all the managers of my restaurants, must be die-hard fans of Admirable Fish!
Even the interview questions are related to Admirable Fish.
Did this guy cheat on the test?
Maybe, he’s not a real fan at all!
Let’s investigate a little more and if it doesn’t work out, let’s have him removed and replaced!
Sun Yaohuo made a mental note of him.
Meanwhile.
It was getting dark.
The cinema was beginning to fill up.
