Chapter 44: Old Drama Bones
This global live broadcast became a global advertisement. And it's a free global advertisement. You must know that advertising is a very expensive thing in this day and age. Half of the price of an international-grade product may be used to cover its global advertising and operating expenses.
Just like the carbonated soda produced by PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, a bottle of soda sells for three yuan, but the real cost of the soda is only about a dime, and even cheaper than the cans they use to package the soda.
And in this global advertisement, Zhang Tong's company did not pay a penny, and it all relied on the strong support and publicity of foreign friendly media.
In the Bauhinia Villa Hotel, Zhang Tong watched all these performances with great satisfaction.
"I'll just say that foreign friends are very good, you see their propaganda, the number of views on our official website is constantly rising. Zhang Tong smiled and picked up a tablet and said to Qin Kuairen, Li Lianlong and Gao Xiaomin.
All three looked at each other.
"Boss, your wedding is too high-profile. It's not good to get all the foreign media to follow and check it. Qin Kuairen was a little conservative: "They foreign media flocked in, and it doesn't seem to be very good to us." β
Regarding Qin Kueren's conservatism, Zhang Tong waved his hand and said completely indifferently: "It's okay. They're just trying to make some big news. Let them do it, it's no big deal. As long as everything is under our control. β
"Are our products ready?"
In the face of Zhang Tong's question, Gao Xiaomin, Qin Kuairen and Li Lianlong all said that they were ready.
"But I was originally ready for a press conference, and now it's not grand enough to release it at your wedding?" Gao Xiaomin looked at Zhang Tong with doubts.
Zhang Tong laughed: "What could be better than the advertising effect of my global live broadcast?!"
"But can you guarantee that all the reporters are coming?"
"Don't worry, I've got them covered...... No, I mean someone has already been sent to invite them. By the way, Lao Huang also went to arrange our domestic media. It's a feast, don't miss it, don't waste it. β

"Shut down, shut down! One of the three troikas of the BBC, I actually ran to the hive to broadcast live advertisements to people!"
Pedro was so angry that he wanted to drop the microphone because he was sent to the Hive from the East because it seemed like there was big news coming here.
Because the changes in the world of the hive have attracted the attention of the whole world.
Everybody thought there was a great news story here, and the journalists fed on the news. Pedro came running like a roving hound that saw a water duck falling from the sky.
But the reality of the scene made him angry.
Lao Tzu is a world-renowned ace reporter, and I am broadcasting global current affairs news. They are all people who broadcast some scandals of the prime minister's bribery, and the chancellor of the exchequer bought the big news of spring in the middle of the night.
Every move I make will have a huge impact on the international political situation. Can I deserve my reputation without a few politicians stepping down?
Pedro decided to forcibly shut down the farce-like livestream.
He reached for the machine to turn it off, but the director stopped him.
"Pedro, the station won't let it close. β
βWHATοΌοΌβ
"Because the ratings are good, you see how beautiful they are in the parade. There are also two people performing kung fu on flying swords, flying around and fighting, which is much better than Hollywood movies. Right now, the ratings for our live streams are high. More viewers than your nightly ace show. β
The director's words annoyed Pedro even more.
But he could only curse with his lower hand: "Fools, they don't know what information is important!"
After that, Pedro simply didn't care, he left the camera, and followed the director how they broadcast this inexplicable show.
He went to a small shop on the street to get something to eat and drink.
It's a small bakery called Warm Time. It is a chain bakery that has been opened all over the streets and alleys of the beehive, and the characteristic is that the owner has the ability of a pair of sun hands, and he can also punch, so the bread made has a unique flavor. The store also sells drinks.
Pedro bought a cup of black coffee and two croissants in the store and ate them straight outside the store. He watched the farce and was bored.
"Hello sir, sir. β
A somewhat timid voice rang out to Pedro's left, and Pedro turned his head to see a skinny Chinese girl who looked very weak.
"What?" Pedro wondered if he had met a beggar. After all, when I go to a third world country, I often encounter such beggars, and when they see white people, they will run over and ask for money and food.
Pedro thought it was another third-world beggar, and he was about to send her away with a few dollars and a few pieces of candy.
"Sir, are you a journalist? I just saw you coming out of the BBC filming location. β
The girl's words made Pedro temporarily stop his movements, and he nodded: "Yes, what?" This girl isn't a Red Spy. Pedro raised some of his vigilance.
"Sir, I know what you want to come and shoot. But the purpose of your shooting has long been revealed by the managers here. So they arranged it that way on purpose. The girl's eyes scanned around with some panic, as if she was afraid that she would be discovered.
Pedro became interested: "What do you mean by that?"
Actually, all of this today was made up by the hive's manager and her husband. She and her husband are nominally managing the Hive Construction Company, but in reality they are squeezing the labor of returnees and Awakened Aliens. Today's battle is so big just because of their wedding ceremony. They oppress the returnees to perform solemn ceremonies for them, and if they do not agree, they persecute us. β
When Pedro heard the girl say this, he must have said it in his heart, is that really so!
He asked the girl, "So, what are you looking for me?"
"I want to make a deal with you, sir. The girl looked up at Pedro: "I can take you to the scene of their wedding and let you secretly film their lavish wedding." This is big news. β
Pedro raised his eyebrows: "So what do you hope for?"
"I want to emigrate, to England or France, I want to breathe fresh and free air. If you can help me......"
"It's up to you to take me to their wedding. If I could, I thought it would be okay to do you a favor. After all, the men of our British Empire are gentlemen. Pedro smiled.
And the Chinese girl's face also appeared with a longing smile, which made Pedro feel a sense of superiority and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
But in places where Pedro didn't know, there were many similar girls who were in similar contact with his peers, saying similar things and doing similar things.
Only Bai Zhantang silently stood in the crowd of marchers and sighed: I don't know how those old actors are doing. has been in Hengdian for so many years, I hope their acting skills are enough.
