Chapter 695: Earthquake in the Entertainment Industry (1)

The TV dramas that made onto IFTV were the cream of the crop from each country and region, requiring a scrutiny as rigorous as, if not more so than, that of the Great Xia TV.

Over the years, the Great Xia Empire has had TV dramas broadcast on IFTV, though these had typically been older dramas in rerun cycles.

Only thirty-five years ago, a historical drama managed to achieve simultaneous international and domestic releases, solidifying its lead’s unshakeable status in the film industry.

Si Fuqing’s second repost of the promotional tweet blew up the comment section.

[Holy crap, IFTV?!]

[???? Don’t scare me, big sister.]

[This must be fake right… They wouldn’t go as far as to register a Weibo account just to save face from ridicule. Do you guys even know what IFTV is? It’s not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry can impersonate.]

[It’s impossible for IFTV to premiere a new drama. “Crossing the Demon Realm” just finished filming at the start of December, they’re rushing to edit it domestically, where would they even find a translator?]

[A bunch of idiots! Doesn’t anyone check the verified account? Still think you’re the only sober person in a room full of drunkards with your keyboard?]

Weibo verifications couldn’t be faked.

The account was also established ten years ago.

The reason why IFTV’s official Weibo account didn’t have many followers was that it only posted drama scheduling updates daily and did no other promotion, resembling a dormant account.

After a full circle, netizens were dumbfounded.

[Damn, it really is IFTV!!!]

[Si Fuqing really hit the jackpot! As far as I know, Tong Luoyun is still trying to make it internationally, and here Si Fuqing just sneaks into IFTV. If I were her, I’d be boasting too, just to infuriate all you keyboard warriors and nitpickers!]

[Who cares about ratings anymore? Even if “Crossing the Demon Realm” is trash, IFTV picked it up. What about “The Great Zhao Dynasty”? Can it do that? Why isn’t it on IFTV then?]

[I was suffocating with frustration just a moment ago, now I’m thrilled. Dare those who laughed at your Big Sister Si to make a peep now? How’s your face, does it hurt? Global release, who else is doing it?]

[Director Tang really waited here to show us up, amazing, it’s not just about sparking a new wave of xianxia dramas in Great Xia, it’s about showing the foreigners that everyone in Great Xia knows kungfu! Let them see what true flying is!]

Netizens flocked to Tang Haiqiu’s Weibo to praise his audacity.

Tang Haiqiu: “…”

He didn’t do any of this.

If Great Xia TV hadn’t given away the slot, Si Fuqing might not have made any move.

He really owed Great Xia TV a thank-you.

As he read through the comments of netizens whose hearts couldn’t take the shock and exploded, Tang Haiqiu contentedly brewed himself a cup of tea.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Twenty minutes later, the door was knocked on. Tang Haiqiu went to open it,

Standing outside was a panting Director Qin.

He didn’t even drive; he had run all the way from Great Xia TV, sweating all over.

“F*ck, Old Tang, you’re really not playing fair.” Director Qin struck Tang Haiqiu on the shoulder, cursing, “IFTV! Wow, you kept that tightly under wraps!”

Even if IFTV offered a late-night slot, he would have hurried to get his film there.

Director Qin had thought of many channels but never IFTV.

A simultaneous domestic and international release was indeed beyond what Great Xia TV could match.

“You managed IFTV, I heard their head is extremely picky.” Director Qin was frustrated, “Why didn’t you say something sooner? If you had, the review board would’ve been on their knees begging you.”

He could already imagine how interesting the review team’s face would look like.

“Alright, alright, it wasn’t me.” Tang Haiqiu sighed, “It was Teacher Si, she and Qu Lingyun are good friends.”

“Oh, she and Qu Lingyun are friends, I didn’t expect IFTV to—” Director Qin suddenly realized, “Wait, with who?!”

“Qu Lingyun.” Tang Haiqiu repeated, “The one who’s won the Glenn Best Director Award three times.”

Director Qin jumped up, “Friends?!”

“What are you so excited about?” Tang Haiqiu blew on his tea, “Look at your spirit, what’s the big deal?”

Director Qin said, “…don’t tell me you weren’t excited back then.”

“I was excited,” Tang Haiqiu replied leisurely, “but now, watching you all jump around like monkeys, it makes me happy.”

Director Qin was speechless.

He wanted to strangle Tang Haiqiu.

Just as Director Qin had expected, after IFTV announced the premiere date for “Crossing the Demon Realm,” chaos ensued at the Great Xia network’s review department.

“Supervisor, there’s trouble!” the secretary rushed in, her voice trembling, “‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ is going to be released globally!”
