On Saturday afternoon, in the living room of Regina's large villa.
Mike, the three girls from The Plastics, and Lena were comfortably lying on the sofa watching the documentary on TV.
After the overtime work by the Texas TV station, Mike's growth documentary had been produced.
The extremely emotional commentary on TV, combined with the exciting clips of Mike on the football field, gave the documentary a passionate feeling.
At the end of the documentary, which lasted for more than an hour, some interview scenes of Mike's teammates, coaches, school leaders, and even passersby were also broadcast.
It can be said that the entire documentary comprehensively shaped Mike into an image of a person with strong athletic ability and a sunny and cheerful personality.
This image is very clever, appealing not only to young people but also to adults.
"Mike, congratulations, you are much more famous than our Plastics now. We also basked in your light this time..." After watching the documentary, Regina showed a teasing smile.
At this moment, on the table in Regina's living room, there were entertainment dailies issued from various places.
Most of the color headlines printed Mike's avatar, some were handsome pictures of Mike clinking glasses when winning the Summer League, and some were gossip pictures of him hugging left and right.
This made him completely the darling of traffic.
Actually, the heat of a regional league champion wouldn't be this high, but with Mike's outstanding looks, coupled with the scandal with a neighboring country's princess, his popularity seemed to have sprouted wings.
And as the other party of the scandal, The Plastics also enjoyed the dividends in this wave of traffic.
Their new album this year sold tens of thousands more copies in these two days.
However, Miracle Company knew when to stop. The three girls of The Plastics debuted with the image of country girls, and the route they would take in the next few years was also the girl-next-door route.
So although this wave of scandal traffic was huge, considering the girls' long-term development, Miracle Company still did PR to clarify the scandal for them even though the girls were reluctant.
In exchange, Miracle Company also agreed to let the girls "rest" for two more days in the town of Medford.
Today happened to be the second day.
"Mike, I've been learning yoga recently, are you interested in checking it out?" Regina, lying horizontally on the sofa wearing revealing clothes, asked teasingly.
The three girls of The Plastics mostly showed a pure image to outsiders, but in front of Mike, this acquaintance, they seemed to be the same as before.
Looking at the girl's straightforward appearance, Mike was about to initiate a challenge.
But just then, his mobile phone rang.
"Mike, you definitely can't guess what the real-time viewing rate of your documentary is this time..." Jack's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Did it exceed ten percent?" Mike guessed casually.
"Very close, just a little bit short." Jack, who was in an excited state, seemed eager to share the good news, so he didn't keep people guessing: "It's a full thirteen percent, this is simply a miracle..."
Nowadays, the penetration rate of home TV is already very high. A thirteen percent viewing rate means that thirteen out of every hundred households with TVs watched this documentary.
Calculated by three people per household, this population base was already not small.
It can be said that under multi-party promotion, Mike has become the hottest "celebrity" in Texas now.
And Jack, who produced the documentary, obviously could also enjoy this wave of dividends.
With the credit of the documentary, his future promotion path in the TV station would inevitably be smooth sailing.
This was also the main reason why Jack was so excited.
"There is another piece of good news. Your posters have sold more than 200,000 copies taking advantage of this heat, and will only sell more in the coming period..." Jack, not knowing Mike's real net worth, continued excitedly: "Congratulations Mike, you are about to become a rich man."
The poster production cost was not high, mainly "exchanging" fame for money.
Even if a poster sells for one dollar, more than 200,000 copies mean more than 200,000 dollars. With a fifty-fifty split, Mike could get more than 100,000.
Of course, Jack and his team could also split more than 100,000.
"Congratulations to us both~" Mike answered with a smile, then asked: "Anything else? If not, I'll hang up first."
However, a dividend of more than 100,000 was not worth making a fuss about for Mike, whose assets in the stock market had already doubled.
Not long after, he hung up the phone.
"Whose call? Did something good happen?" Seeing Mike hang up the phone with a smile, Regina asked.
"It's about poster distribution, I earned more than 100,000 dollars again this time..." Mike didn't hide it and briefly talked about his cooperation with the TV station.
"Tch, making money is not difficult with your current fame." Regina, who had already entered the circle of fame and fortune, knew how to monetize fame: "If you are willing to be the image spokesperson for Karen's family's beef burgers, you can probably get a million dollars in endorsement fees a year..."
Actually, except for Gretchen who came from a working-class family, the families of the other three girls present were very rich, and more than 100,000 dollars was not a big deal for them either.
Moreover, the girls' current profession also broadened their horizons.
In this era, a good album costs about ten to dozens of dollars. In terms of money-making ability, singers even earn more than movie stars.
And money-making ability often represents status.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. I just want to see how your yoga learning is going now..." Mike turned over and pulled Regina up.
Immediately after, the other three girls also joined the yoga training.
[Flexibility +1] ... [Flexibility +1] ... [Golden Spear XP +1] ...
At the same time, in Queen Renaldi's large villa in the suburbs, a TV just finished broadcasting Mike's personal documentary.
To ensure the safety of the Queen and her family these days, a fully armed bodyguard team had been deployed outside the villa, conducting round-the-clock patrols.
"Have you found out who leaked the news?" Queen Renaldi, sitting as elegantly as usual, had several entertainment dailies issued from various places in front of her besides the TV.
"Already found out, it's Paolo. The stylist who styled Princess Mia." Mr. Joe said seriously: "Do you need me to give him some warnings?"
Because Princess Mia's transformation plan needed to be kept secret from the Genovia royal family, her image stylist was a local American.
Under these circumstances, Paolo was a well-known stylist invited by Queen Renaldi from the Big Apple City through the embassy.
This stylist's professional level was indeed very high, but his professional ethics seemed poor.
Having signed a confidentiality agreement in advance, he obviously sold Princess Mia's identity to the newspaper office for profit.
"Let the embassy people communicate, I only want results. And find someone to deal with the news in these newspapers." As a queen, Renaldi had a strong side.
The stylist's leak had been defined as a diplomatic incident by Queen Renaldi in one sentence.
It could be imagined that his end this time would not be too good.
"Also, how is the situation in Genovia?" Queen Renaldi continued asking.
"Not very good, someone over there seems to be deliberately spreading Princess Mia's scandal..." Speaking of this, Mr. Joe's face also became more serious.
Only two days passed, and the scandal of Mia, the future princess of the kingdom, was already spreading widely in Genovia. It would be strange if no one was behind all this.
And the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes was easy to guess.
Nothing more than Queen Renaldi's political enemies within the Genovia royal family. These people didn't want to see the Queen cultivate another qualified heir.
"Is that so~" Queen Renaldi fell into thought after hearing the report.
The small country of Genovia had maintained a primitive planting economic model before. Only after discovering a large amount of minerals in recent years did it have an industrial management model.
And Queen Renaldi advocated sustainable pro-people development, which was to use the profits obtained by the kingdom's annual mining to subsidize the planting economy and make people's lives richer.
But Queen Renaldi's behavior benefiting the people dissatisfied many royal family members and kingdom ministers.
They felt that more farmers in the kingdom should join mining, thereby creating more benefits for the kingdom.
It could be said that the "interest" teams of both sides already belonged to class contradictions.
"There is less than a month before the Genovia royal family banquet..." Queen Renaldi suddenly asked: "Mia, I want to take you back to Genovia to have a look in advance? And Helen, you haven't been home for many years either."
Obviously, what was happening in Genovia now made Queen Renaldi plan to return to the country early.
