Song Qingyouâs termination of her contract with Jiayi Media had caused a huge commotion, which indirectly boosted the sales of âThe Immortal Demonâ book.
However, before the editorial department could celebrate, countless calls came in, all asking if there was still any stock of âGate of the Tower*.
Wen Xia had never expected that the sales of âGate of the Towerâ would surpass âThe Immortal Demonâ at the same time when its reputation had exploded.
The hashtag #Qing Mengâs new book# was still at the bottom of the trending searches for a few days.
As nearly a million copies of âGate of the Towerâ were printed one after another, Wen Xia transferred a large sum of money to Song Qingyou.
âTeacher Qing Meng, are you going to write books in the future?â
Wen Xia didnât chase after celebrities, but when she found out that Qing Meng was Song Qingyou, she also paid attention to her news.
After hearing that Song Qingyou had terminated her contract with the company, Wen Xia really wanted her to focus on writing her books.
âIâll write a new book next year,â Song Qingyou said without answering.
It was already the end of November, so next year it was!
Wen Xia nodded and told Song Qingyou the good news.
âYour novel has already entered the final round of the Newcomer Award. Thereâs a high chance that it will win. When the time comes, will you personally go over to receive the award, or will our editorial department receive it on your behalf?â
âSorry for the trouble.â
This meant that she didnât want to reveal her identity.
Wen Xia felt that it was a pity.
If Song Qingyou could appear herself, wouldnât the sales of her new novel skyrocket?
With the royalties, Song Qingyou had the initial capital to start a company.
In mid-December, many people saw that Song Qingyou hadnât signed with a new company and began to spread rumors that she might be forced to leave the industry.
But not long before the rumors spread, Song Qingyou openly posted a recruitment notice on Weibo.
The company name clearly stated: Shengshi Entertainment.
No one in the industry or outside had ever heard of an entertainment company called Shengshifl], so there was only one possibility:
This company was created by Song Qingyou!
For a time, very few people came to participate in the recruitment, and most of them were media reporters who came to see the excitement based on the company address.
And fans who wanted to see Song Qingyou.
Seeing this situation, the entertainment reporters quickly ran a few headlines:
[ No one applied for Shengshi Entertainment, Boss Song Qingyouâs dream was shattered]
[Song Qingyou established Shengshi Entertainment, maybe because there is no company to go to ]
Song Qingyou didnât mind being ridiculed.
Under everyoneâs watchful eyes, she even changed his verification information to Shengshi Entertainmentâs CEO.
The more these reporters paid attention to this matter, the more popular the company became.
She didnât even need to advertise.
The next day.
#Song Qingyou founded Shengshi Entertainment#
The popularity of the hashtag was still rising when Jiang Xuyan announced that he had officially joined Shengshi.
[ Jiang Xuyan: Iâm the first artiste to join. Will the benefits be a little more special?@Song Qingyou @Shengshi Entertainment]
Jiang Xuyan wasnât extremely famous. Before he participated in Man vs. Wild 3, his contract with his previous company had expired, so he had set up his own studio. His main business was related to music creation.
Now, signing a contract with Song Qingyou was equivalent to putting the entire studio under Shengshi.
There were very few people in the industry who knew how to repay kindness, not to mention betting their future. Therefore, while the netizens praised Jiang Xuyan for his loyalty, many people also said that he was a fool.
A few minutes after he posted on Weibo, Xu Xingzhou replied to his post:
[ Xu Xingzhou: @Jiang Xuyan, Brother Jiang, Iâm sorry, Iâm the first artist to be signed! ]
Xu Xingzhou joining Shengshi was within everyoneâs expectations.
This was because one TV series could not prove how good Xu Xingzhouâs acting skills were. There were definitely not many companies that would offer him an olive branch.
Moreover, Xu Xingzhou was discovered by Song Qingyou from the extras.
Other than the two of them, Xu Mingrui, who was overseas, also posted on Weibo later that he would join Shengshi Entertainment.
With the support of the three people, the mediaâs claim that no one applied became empty talk.
Late December.
Jiang Xuyan relied on his connections in the industry to get Xu Xingzhou an audition for the male supporting role in a movie.
Xu Xingzhou was very hardworking. After the director saw his audition, he dismissed the people waiting behind him and signed the contract with him immediately.
Chen Lanâs contract had expired. After asking about her salary, she jumped ship to Shengshi and was now Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhouâs manager.
As for Song Qingyou, without the companyâs suppression, many jobs came knocking on her door.
Most of them were Xianxia TV series.
The Immortal Demon seemed to have driven the popularity of the Xianxia TV series. For the directors who followed the trend and filmed this kind of drama, the first actor that came to mind was of course Song Qingyou.
However, Song Qingyou flipped through the scripts and decided to reject them all.
Chen Lan was puzzled. âI think there are a few scripts that are not bad. If you continue to be so picky, people will say that you have high standards but low abilities⦠Itâs not your turn to be involved in those big-budget movies and television dramas.â
âThe popularity of âThe Immortal Demonâ is about to die down. If you donât start filming, who will remember you?â
âNone of these scripts will work.â Song Qingyou shook her head.
âXu Mingrui will be back soon. Our company can produce a drama on our own.â
âThen where are you going to find investors?â Chen Lan questioned.
âIsnât there the Annual Celebrity Impact Awards in two days?â
Song Qingyou poked the script on the table. âThere should be a lot of investors invited.â
âThose investors arenât fools. You donât have anything concrete right now. If you say you want them to invest, will they give it to you? Unless youâ¦â
Chen Lan shut up at the right time.
She knew Song Qingyou wouldnât accept unspoken rules.
âWho says Iâm just gonna make empty talk?â Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. I have a new script written by Qing Meng.â
âReally?â Chen Lanâs eyes were filled with surprise. âWhere is it? Could it be an adaptation of that science fiction book?â
âI heard that the sci-fi novel has a chance of winning an award! If you can get this script, it might not be a problem for you to get an investor.â
After the sales of âGate of the Towerâ exploded, it was hailed as the âhope for the revival of science fictionâ by a well-respected author. Its fame had long since reached beyond the genre, which was why Chen Lan was so confident.
But Song Qingyou didnât have any plans to shoot a sci-fi film.
âThat science fiction novel will most likely be adapted into a movie.â
âThe script Iâm talking about is another one. Qing Meng hasnât published it yet.â
âThat shouldnât be a problem.â Chen Lan was not disappointed. Instead, she said excitedly that she wanted to see the script.
How could Song Qingyou give her a script now? Qing Meng hadnât even started writing!
She coughed lightly. âShe hasnât finished writing yet. Sheâll send it to me once sheâs done.â
Song Qingyou believed in her octopus-like hand speed, not to mention that the framework of the new book was already in her mind, so it shouldnât be too difficult to change it into a script.
âShe has a very good relationship with you. She booked the script for you before it was even finished.â
Chen Lan didnât think too much about it and only felt that Song Qingyou was lucky to be friends with such a big boss.
After all, no one could probably imagine that Song Qingyou could write the entire script in a week.
During this period, she had stayed up late many times and fell asleep on her keyboard.. Her cat even suspected that she had a sudden deathâ¦
