Chapter 81: Water Army
Li Yongnian rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Alright, I understand now. Increase the publicity for ‘Wind and Cloud Records’. No matter the cost, no matter what, we can’t give Feng Shuo a chance to make a comeback. Don’t worry about how much money we spend."
Up until now, Li Yongnian still didn’t think that ‘Wind and Cloud Records’ would earn much at the box office.
‘Wind and Cloud Records’ was inferior in every aspect. The audience wasn’t stupid; they all knew which was better.
"Okay."
The manager wanted to say something but hesitated. He would not dare to disobey Li Yongnian. He swallowed his words and nodded. Then, he followed Li Yongnian’s instructions.
In the next few days, the ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’ received very few bad reviews.
Feng Shuo frowned.
This was not normal. Based on Li Yongnian’s personality, he would not let it develop.
The only possibility was that someone had stopped him.
The first person Feng Shuo thought of was Qin Sheng.
She was probably the only one who had the ability to do so.
Feng Shuo was really curious about how Qin Sheng had done it. He called Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng blinked and said innocently, "I just used some methods to prevent them from discrediting the ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’."
Feng Shuo: "…"
He had only heard of deleting comments and closing accounts, but he had never heard of it being able to directly stop the release of related comments.
Keywords?
Thinking of this, Feng Shuo hurriedly shook his head. Even if it was a keyword, the number of comments that were discrediting ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’ would not be so pitiful.
Feng Shuo was full of questions and wanted to continue asking. However, he also knew that this was one of Qin Sheng’s techniques. Asking too many questions would not be appropriate.
He could only suppress all his questions.
His heart became even more determined. He must not offend Qin Sheng.
This young lady

Li Yongnian thought that a few days after the movie was released, everyone would naturally find out whether the movie was good or bad.
However, three days had passed, and ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’ was still going strong. The box office earnings of ‘Wind and Cloud Records’ were decreasing day by day.
On the Internet, ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’ received overwhelmingly positive reviews, while ‘Wind and Cloud Records’ received all negative reviews.
Li Yongnian opened the comments of ‘Wind and Cloud Records’.
Under the Weibo account of a marketing account, there were more than 5,000 comments.
"Rubbish special effects, rubbish actors, rubbish directors. What else isn’t rubbish?"
"Isn’t this director known as the number one director? What kind of film is this?"
"Everyone, don’t contribute to the box office. This kind of trash movie should be pushed to the end!"
"I’ve tested the poison, and as expected, I’ve been poisoned half to death. Damn it, I’ve been playing with my phone the entire time!"
"…"
Li Yongnian’s eyes spewed fire as he watched.
The movie was clearly not bad, yet there were a bunch of people who disliked ‘Wind and Cloud Records’.
Needless to say, these were all trolls that Feng Shuo had invited!
Li Yongnian picked up the phone and ordered with a sullen face, "I’ll give you double the money to discredit ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’."
"Director Li, I’ll work hard." The internet trolls braced themselves and spoke.
He couldn’t refuse double the commission.
He tried to operate it and found that he could post comments that ridiculed ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’. The internet trolls’ eyes lit up and quickly passed down Li Yongnian’s instructions.
In an instant, a large wave of trolls flooded into Weibo, saying all sorts of bad things about the ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’.
"It’s too embarrassing. Just the investment of ‘Wind and Cloud Records’alone is 300 million. It’s many times better than ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’. All of you keep bragging about ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’, just how much money did they give you? I want it too."
"Rubbish. I laughed awkwardly the whole time. I watched it for 20 minutes and then left. It’s a waste of my money."
"Where did those actors from ‘Floating Cloud Atlas’ come from? Did they pick them up from the streets? I, an ordinary person, have better acting skills than them."
"A brainless movie is already blown up by you. I can only say that the water army is really powerful."
"I advise everyone not to watch it. If you have the time, why don’t you go and watch ‘Wind and Cloud Records’? That would be really good to watch."
The good reviews were drowned out by the comments of the water army.
