Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 156: The Self-Torture Scheme for the Son

According to Zhao Xiaotong, Su Mingyue is the Greater China representative of a multinational venture capital company, so her ability and vision are undoubtedly beyond doubt.

She wanted to get to know herself through Zhao Xiaotong.

It is impossible to target without aim.

But what could I do to attract her attention?
Yunsi Group?

Then there is no need to look for yourself.

If she wanted to invest in Qihang Media, Zhao Xiaotong had already clearly rejected her.

Could it be that she has taken a fancy to the novel website?

Also unlikely.

The novel website is still okay now.

The main reason is that the traffic generated by the popularity of the two books under his pen name was accidental. Even the welfare system he proposed could not be replicated by other websites.

In addition, novel websites are traditional industries and their profits are stable in the long term.

Generally, venture capital firms will not invest in such projects.

Could it be...

Sharing bikes?

It’s not that Fang Ark is just daydreaming.

He knew that after the shared bicycles came out in the past, investors rushed to enter the market.

Could it be that Su Mingyue has set her sights on shared bicycles?
Ark will not look down on anyone.

Su Mingyue is a famous investor.

If you knew about the situation of shared bicycles, you might actually be interested, but it would probably be just interest.

After all, after seeing another side of herself yesterday, she had no intention of continuing the contact.

At least there is no plan to contact them for the time being.

Also a possibility.

There are no other competitors.

Or perhaps, shared bicycles are not even in the starting stage.

What capital likes to do most is not to sow seeds and raise seedlings and wait for the fruits to mature slowly, but to take over the orchard and pick the fruits after the fruits in the orchard are ripe.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou took out his cell phone and called Hua Ke:

"Pay attention recently."

"See if there's any news about shared bikes online."

"In particular, if there are any shared bikes appearing in other places, please let me know as soon as you have any news."

hang up the phone.

I looked up and saw Fang Yuru squatting in front of the refrigerator.

At this time, he had already torn open the packaging bag of the second ice cream and was happily sucking on it.

Fang Zhou frowned:

"Eat less cold food."

"Your stomach is not in good condition."

Fang Yuru acted as if she didn't hear it and sat back on the sofa while eating ice cream.

Fang Zhou could only helplessly ignore her.

"Boss, are you there?"

While Fang Zhou was typing, he received a message from Huang Yuan on his phone.

There was something strange about the Ark.

"?"

"[photo]"

"Did your September royalties really total over 2.4 million?"

"Is this screenshot circulating everywhere real? Boss, can you give me some insight? I'm so envious. Doesn't it mean you've achieved financial freedom with just two books?"

ark:

"underestimate me?"

"I think one book can achieve financial freedom."

“…Big boss is awesome!”

The royalties from Fang Zhou's two books were "accidentally" leaked and are now circulating in a small circle, causing quite a stir.

Before this, online literature was not very popular because there were too few themes.

Novels are still mainly dominated by physical books.

Write online articles.

Many of them are generated for love.

It is already very happy to get a few hundred yuan in royalties a month. If you can get a few thousand yuan, it is considered a high income. If you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month from online novels, you are a great writer.

Now suddenly there are people who earn millions a month.

It directly subverts traditional cognition.

Although before.

This honest man became famous.

There are many speculations about how much money he can make from his book "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

But no matter how many guesses there are, they are just guesses. Now the specific royalties have been directly exposed, and it is just a screenshot.

Two books cost more than two million!

There is no doubt that the impact it has on ordinary writers.

At least.

The online literature circle exploded.

This incredible news spread fastest in the novel writing circle.

And it's that kind of cross-transmission.

In just a few hours.

Almost all online writers know this.

Those who don’t know the honest man can only sigh, but those who know Fang Zhou like Huang Yuan are even more shocked.

Although she is a university counselor, she is also a literature lover and has a dream of becoming a writer.

I am also writing novels on the website now.

But a lot of it is just hobbies.

She had heard about the popularity of Fang Zhou's two novels on the website, but she knew that Fang Zhou's novels were popular, but she didn't know they were so popular!
For ordinary people, it's news.

But to Huang Yuan, Fang Zhou is the sweeping monk who lives next to her.

"Boss, please teach me how to write a novel."

“I want to make some money too!”

Seeing the funny message sent by Huang Yuan, Fang Zhou knew that she was also joking.

He replied with a smile:
"Vulgar!"

"Too vulgar!"

“This is my literary dream.”

"How can it be measured with those yellow and white things?"

Huang Yuan was speechless for a while.

"Literary dream?"

"Then why are you still running a novel website?"

Although Huang Yuan's publishing novels online is just a hobby.

It can be said that it is not for profit.

But you can never say it’s not for fame.

The purpose of publishing is to have more people see it. A high manuscript fee is the most direct manifestation of being recognized by more people and having good achievements.

See the heated discussion among the authors.

Huang Yuan had a feeling.

Because of the Ark.

Online novels may be different from before.

Fang Zhou also knows that with this wave of support, the commercialization of online novels will gradually accelerate.

I have discussed this with He Qin before.

There were specific plans.

The launch of the Ark this time can be regarded as a plan to create a god.

After reading the discussion in the group, Fang Zhou found that there had been no movement in the office for quite a long time.

Look up.

But Fang Yuru was curled up on the sofa, holding her stomach, her brows tightly furrowed.

Fang Zhou quickly stood up and went over:

"what happened?"

Fang Yuru looked very bad.

He looked up at Fang Zhou and said pitifully:

"stomachache."

……

hospital.

Fang Zhou pushed the door and left the ward.

In the ward, Fang Xueru looked at Fang Yuru who was sitting on the bed with an IV drip and sneered:
"You are really good."

"You actually resorted to the tactic of inflicting pain on your own son, and you're not even ashamed of it."

Just now.

Fang Xueru received a call from Fang Zhou.

After hearing Fang Zhou's explanation, he guessed that Fang Yuru might have developed gastroenteritis because she ate too many cold drinks.

After Fang Zhou and Fang Yuru arrived, they checked and found that it was true.

Fang Xueru also discovered.

Fang Yuru is now in her menstrual period.

Even if Fang Yuru didn't know much about medical knowledge, how could she not know that you can't eat cold food during your menstrual period?

Besides, she has always had stomach problems.

At this time, I ate two ice creams in a row.

Fang Xueru didn't believe it at all if she said it wasn't a self-torture trick.

The truth was revealed, and it happened in front of Fang Xueru, who was at odds with her. Fang Yuru turned her head away awkwardly:
"No, it's none of your business!"

Fang Xueru disdainfully:
"What's the matter? Are you staying at the boat?"

"Do you regret it?"

"If Xiao Zhou hadn't called me, do you think I would care about you?"

Fang Xueru thought that after she said this, Fang Yuru would argue with her again, but she didn't expect that Fang Yuru didn't.

After a moment of silence, he said:
"Yes, I regret it."

Karma?
Fang Xueru was stunned.

How could she not see that her arrogant sister was regretting her decision?

But he never expected that Fang Yuru would admit it in front of him. This was not like her before.

Seeing Fang Yuru admit it directly.

Fang Xueru didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, Fang Zhou came in from outside and saw that his mother and aunt were not speaking, and the atmosphere between them was a little weird.

He stepped forward with a smile and said:

"Aunt, please stop talking about Mom."

Fang Xueru curled her lips:
"What's there to say?"

"I just wanted to remind her not to waste people's time or occupy public resources at will."

"The hospital ward is very tense!"

After saying that, Fang Xueru turned and left the ward.

Only two people remained.

Fang Yuru didn't know whether Fang Zhou had heard the conversation between the two.

Thinking of the self-torture tactic, Fang Yuru also blushed.

I was speechless.

Fang Zhou approached and said:

"You deserve it!"

"I say you are really too naive."

"I told you not to eat too much ice cream this morning, but you're still so greedy."

At this time, Fang Yuru was lying on the hospital bed wearing a T-shirt. She no longer had the coolness of the past, but looked a little more pitiful.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Fang Zhou didn't want to say anything more to her.

After all, she is my mother!
Fang Zhou sat down beside him and said:

"I'll ask Chen Jing to find you later."

"You sign a contract with her, a contract for Yunsi Group to sponsor a variety show."

Fang Yuru was stunned.

I don't understand what Fang Ark means.

Ark explained:
"Qihang Media is now producing a variety show."

"Yunsi's clothing will be used in the program, and there will also be some Yunsi-related publicity."

"If Yunsi isn't even a sponsor."

"Talk about it."

“It’s going to be a bit of a problem.”

"I forgot to tell you this before, I'll make it up later."

"The sponsorship fee cannot be reduced by a single cent!"

Fang Yuru immediately guessed that Fang Zhou was definitely promoting Yunsi again, just like the previous TV series.

Thinking of what Fang Zhou had done, Fang Yuru felt a little complicated for a moment.

Fang Ark continued:

"The previous TV series was a hit, but it was only temporary."

"This variety show is expected to have a total of twelve episodes in the first season, one episode per week, and it will last for several months."

“As a sponsor, Yunsi will be mentioned repeatedly during the show.”

“It’s not just oral broadcasting, there will be relevant tasks.”

"Anyway."

"I won't let Yunsi suffer any loss."

Fang Yuru bit her lip subconsciously.

she felt.

Today's Ark is a little different.

Although the attitude seems to be no different from before.

But Fang Yuru felt that although Fang Zhou would still make fun of her from time to time, he no longer had the distant feeling that kept her at a distance.

And the thing I just mentioned.

What I forgot.

I must have wanted to do it quietly before.

Now that he has taken the initiative to propose it, it can be regarded as a cooperation between Yunsi Group and Qihang Media. It seems that the two are clearly distinguished, but it seems unfamiliar.

But Fang Yuru doesn't think so.

This way.

Things become pure.

No matter what Fang Zhou said, this was definitely a good thing for Yunsi.

I have been in Sujing for a while.

The main purpose of opening a branch in Suzhou and Beijing is to promote Yunsi.

However, Fang Yuru herself is not very proficient in this area, and there has been no good progress in promotion during this period.

All she could think of were those traditional advertising campaigns.

But the effect is average.

Now Yunsi's performance has improved.

However, these improvements are entirely due to the influence of the previous TV series "Yun Si".

Because the TV series brought Yunsi’s performance improvement.

Let Fang Yuru know too.

This novel promotional method is more effective for Yunsi.

However, as the popularity of the TV series gradually faded, the performance bonus brought by the TV series was also gradually reduced. Although the orders were still booming before the New Year.

But the performance has increased.

But it is slowing down.

Yunsi needs a longer-term publicity plan.

The sponsorship of the program I just mentioned.

This is another field that Fang Yuru has never been exposed to.

But with Fang Zhou's talent, he said this with such certainty, so he must be sure of it.

Fang Yuru secretly looked at her son in front of her, wondering with some hope whether Fang Zhou did this because of her, and whether he was slowly accepting her.

Fang Yuru was also a little ashamed.

prior to.

In her eyes.

Ark has always been just a child.

But judging from the abilities Fang Zhou has demonstrated during this period, he is simply a business genius, especially in the business promotion of Yunsi Group.

The TV series caused Yunsi to become extremely popular, and the application for intangible cultural heritage enhanced Yunsi’s brand value and cultural heritage.

And he just said that sponsoring his program can bring continuous exposure.

Think about what the Ark did.

Fang Yuru's eyes flashed, and the hand beside her moved slightly, as if she wanted to hold Fang Zhou's hand who was so close to her.

However, in the end, I didn't have the courage to reach out.

He just tilted his head and whispered:

"Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry."

Fang Zhou tilted his head.

He grabbed Fang Yuru's hand and stuffed it under the quilt.

Although it was hot outside, the air conditioner was on in the ward. Fang Yuru was still on an IV drip, and her hands felt a little cold to the touch.

Fang Zhou glanced at Fang Yuru:
"You'll say you're sorry."

"If you have that intention, you'd better not make trouble in the future."

"I warned you not to eat too much ice cream, but you still ate it. Don't you know that you have a bad stomach?"

"I really don't know where you learned this stuff. You're just causing more trouble."

Something learned?
Could it be.

Does he know what he has done?

Thinking of this, Fang Yuru shrank her neck, turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Fang Zhou, but her ears turned red.

She wanted to show her mother's spirit and fight Fang Zhou head-on.

But a little timid

"I know I was wrong, so please stop talking."

Although she was scolded by Fang Zhou, the corners of Fang Yuru's mouth rose slightly.

She could feel that Fang Ark was obviously concerned about her.

Just when Fang Yuru was about to retreat back into bed.

I received a video chat invitation from Tang Tang when I was on Ark.

"What are you doing?"

"I wasn't awake when you sent the message this morning."

Fang Zhou sat next to Fang Yuru and answered the video call. As soon as the call was connected, he saw Tang Tang appear in the camera.

That look.

It seems to be at the seaside.

After the National Day holiday, Tang Tang and his family traveled abroad.

We had a tiring day yesterday and arrived at the destination in the afternoon. We tasted the local delicacies and went out for a walk in the evening. We went to bed late and Tang Tang woke up late in the morning.

After waking up in the morning and seeing Fang Zhou’s message, she immediately replied.

But that will happen.

Fang Zhou happened to be sending Fang Yuru to the hospital and didn't notice it.

Tang Tang spent the whole morning holding her phone waiting for news from Fang Zhou. After not receiving any news for such a long time, she couldn't help but call Fang Zhou on video.

In the video.

Tang Tang was lying on a lounge chair wearing a long skirt and sunglasses.

Suddenly he realized that Fang Zhou seemed to be in the hospital. He nervously sat up from the recliner and took off his sunglasses.

"Fang Zhou, why are you in the hospital?"

Ark said:

"fine."

"My mother suddenly had gastroenteritis, so I brought her here to get an IV drip."

talking.

Fang Zhou pointed the camera at Fang Yuru.

Although she knew that Tang Tang didn't know what exactly happened, Fang Yuru still felt a little guilty and waved her hand at Tang Tang:

"Tangtang, you've already gone abroad."

"Have fun."

Tang Tang was visibly annoyed:
"Auntie, why did you suddenly get gastroenteritis?"

"You're sick in the hospital, but I'm still out playing. It's really inappropriate."

"I'll talk to my dad and book the fastest flight back."

Ark is speechless:

Do you want to listen to what you say!
Fang Yuru also smiled.

This little girl, has she already taken on the role of daughter-in-law?

But think about Tang Tang's wealth and the fact that she is so devoted to Fang Zhou. This guy Fang Zhou really has a way of judging people.

Tang Tang, such an outstanding girl, is completely devoted to him.

Fang Yuru said quickly:
"Tangtang, it's not that serious."

"Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to come back. Just have fun outside."

"Xiao Zhou is right next to us. I'll let him tell you."

As she spoke, Fang Yuru signaled Fang Zhou with her eyes.

Ark turned back to the camera.

He smiled and said:

"My mom is sick, why are you so nervous?"

"Why, do you want to show off in front of my mom?"

"Do not worry."

"She just ate too much ice cream."

"The situation is not serious. I can go back after I get the IV drip."

"But my mom bought a refrigerator and a microwave for the office, prepared ice cream for you, and also stocked your snack cabinet."

"Just have fun outside."

"By the way, when are you going back to China? When do you plan to return to Sujing?"

Tang Tang was quickly led by Fang Zhou.

Chat with Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and said to Tang Tang:

"You're returning home on the 6th, and planning to meet Su Jing tonight?"

"I might go back to Nanwu before National Day. I haven't seen my grandparents for a while."

"If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you back to Sujing."

It’s not that Fang Zhou is too confident.

Tang Tang’s schedule was so tight, she must have wanted to return to Su Jing a day earlier so that she could have some time with him before the formal classes started.

Fang Ark figured out some things last night.

In the face of Tang Tang’s sincere efforts, we can no longer take it for granted, nor do we want to pretend to be blind.

It's just a woman!

Afraid of warmth!
Tang Tang was very surprised to hear Fang Zhou say this.

Hastily said:

"Well."

"I'll find you when I get back."

After chatting for a few sentences, Tang Tang hesitated in her words.

After Fang Zhou asked several questions, Tang Tang looked at him curiously:

"that……"

"Why are you giving the dog alcohol?"

Fang Zhou's face darkened.

Seeing Fang Yuru next to her, she was also laughing.

He said to Tang Tang unhappily:

"Did Zhao Xiaotong tell you? That guy has no good intentions. He's a jerk. He even sent me a message this morning to make fun of me."

Fang Zhou was indignant.

……

"Running Man" is about to be launched.

The set time is eight o'clock in the evening.

Although it is just an online broadcast, it was still launched during this prime time.

Penguin Video Division.

Many people were waiting in the office.

Every time an important program is released, everyone gets nervous, just like students when their grades are announced.

Manager Zhou from the Business Department was walking around the office.

Looking at the person next to him, he said:

“What do you think of this project?”

"Will it work?"

What he was talking about was, of course, the variety show "Running Man" from Qihang Media.

Qihang Media is a new company, and its scale and program production experience are only average.

But this time their "Running Man" was broadcast on Penguin Video.

It is treated as an S-level project.

A big reason.

It’s because of a previous collaboration project.

The TV series "Yun Si" was produced by Qihang Media. It once caused a sensation and was a phenomenal TV series.

There are already several time-travel TV series following the trend of "Yun Si".

Just copy the answers.

But there are several TV series that follow suit.

Until now, no one has been able to surpass "Cloud Silk".

"Yun Si" has also brought huge benefits to Penguin Entertainment. Based on the previous cooperative friendship, Penguin Entertainment will also treat it with caution.

but.

Everybody knows.

The popularity of many dramas is due to some coincidences.

Even if a screenwriter often produces hits, there is no guarantee that every one of his works will be a hit.

not to mention.

The previous one was a TV series.

What they have acquired now is a variety show, and it is a type that I have never seen before.

The copyright and playback rights given by Penguin Video are not low.

600 million for the first phase.

This is also the specification of the S-Class.

But when the time came, Manager Zhou felt a little nervous.

A man with pigtails next to him said:

"Old Zhou, don't worry too much."

"Hasn't everyone seen the movie?"

“Although the shooting techniques and subject matter were unprecedented, everyone responded that the results were good.”

"I don't think there will be any problem."

"And it's possible."

“This is going to be a hit.”

The words of the man with pigtails made many people in the office nod their heads.

Manager Zhou forced a smile and said:
"I've seen it, and it does feel quite novel, but the key is whether the audience can accept it and buy into it."

To be honest, the first time I saw the sample of the first episode of "Running Man".

Manager Zhou was also surprised.

Current variety shows.

All of them are indoor variety shows.

There is a formal indoor venue, a few hosts come out, there may be an opening dance, and then the guests come out, introduce themselves, and interact with games.

But this variety show called "Running Man" is different.

First of all, he is not indoors.

Moreover, the shooting techniques are also different from those rigid ones.

Just the pilot video, the process of all the guests gathering together, is interesting to watch.

From contacting to guests arriving at the recording site one by one.

All will be recorded.

It's like a documentary.

And on the next morning, without notifying the guests, they used the hotel room card to enter the guests' room and wake them up.

Record the guests' true reactions when they wake up without makeup.

have to say.

Even if they are from Penguin Entertainment.

Watching this kind of variety show is also very interesting. It is not the same old production.

And according to the people they contacted.

They introduced the concept of "personality".

In this program, things like strength, speed, appearance, wisdom, and humor make the image of each guest more specific.

have to say.

It gives people a refreshing feeling.

But think about other shows, there are also similar "character settings", although not explicitly stated, but it is almost the same.

Only by clarifying the personality of each character can it be easier to remember.

But there is no clear character.

in the show.

It can be easily overlooked.

The most important thing is that there is a name tag tearing segment in this program.

It can be said that every step is innovation.

Someone from Penguin Entertainment asked.

The initiator of this project, and even the structure and specific requirements of the entire variety show, were all created by the screenwriter of "Yun Si".

The man with pigtails looked at Manager Zhou.

He smiled and said:

"There's no point thinking about anything now."

"It will be officially launched in a few minutes. Let's see what the data says."

"Within the first 24 hours of the broadcast, if it gets over 300 million hits, it's considered barely acceptable. 500 million is passing, 800 million is excellent, and over 1000 million is considered a hit and can be considered a key project."

"We've put a lot of effort into publicity, and everything is ready, just waiting for the right time."

"It all depends on whether this Dongfeng can start a fire."

Someone was watching from the side.

"On the line!"

Manager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly:
"Pay attention to the monitoring data!"
