2001 Media Godfather

Chapter 27, the long-awaited single chapter is here!

Surprised that Lao Cang wrote a separate chapter so quickly?

This is mainly written for old readers. Although there aren't many left now, some of them who haven't been on Qidian for years have come back to support me. Since you haven't forgotten me, I feel it's necessary to take good care of you.

First of all, it must be clarified!

The "lost everything" at the beginning of the first chapter was just a joke, okay? I have my pride too!
I didn't invest in stocks, I didn't lose everything, and the shop is still open! It's just that the overall economic climate was really bad, so I lost a little bit.

In addition, I really didn't have much business experience, so I made a mess of things. I wrote books and paid salaries, but I didn't lose everything! I'm still doing well!

Second, it's like a doomsday eunuch.

Many people have been asking about this, and I've been playing dumb. But after thinking about it today, I've decided to stop making excuses and stop arguing. A eunuch is a eunuch; he's standing at attention, ready to be whipped.

Actually, I'm a bit of a show-off; the more you guys enjoy reading, the more I want to write and update. I just love seeing people praise me—it's that corny of me.

Ultimately, whether or not "Making Soup" and "The Apocalypse" make money isn't so bad. "The Great Song Dynasty" and "The Flowing Years" have already made money, so there's no fear of not earning income from one or two more books. The main problem is that too few people are reading them. Every day feels like I'm playing a standalone game, and I often doubt myself, which kills my motivation.

In addition, I fell ill while making soup, and the end of the day brought me great difficulties in reality (caused by business problems), so I used that as an excuse to stop.

I've considered continuing the story, rewriting it, and drastically modifying it. I've thought of all sorts of options.

But to be honest, I know it's unrealistic.

After a hiatus of several years, the website is unlikely to provide any more traffic. Relying on old readers to retain them? And how many of them can actually be retained?
Besides, there weren't many long-time readers even before the updates stopped!

Therefore, the only option is to shamelessly sever the long article, cutting off both the relationship and the root of the problem!
From now on, please call me Grandpa Cang, or Rootless Cang.

Third, the writing direction of the new book.

As the year drew to a close, I mentioned that I hadn't had enough of writing, and there were many things I wanted to write about that I couldn't express, so I decided to stick with urban themes.

As for why it's fictional, many people have advised me that fictional entertainment novels are not popular.

There's no way I can help it, I'm just too embarrassed to fantasize...

Anyway, if any reader wants to see "bulldozers" pushing up female celebrities in Lao Cang's books, then you should close this book as soon as possible.

We can just tease the fictional one; the real one is right there, so let's just leave it at that.

The directors and celebrities mentioned in the article are all made up by Lao Cang and do not represent or associate with any real-life artists or celebrities.

It just so happens that Lao Cang is quite familiar with the entertainment industry, and it also aligns well with communication studies, so he chose entertainment literature.

You don't have to treat it as an entertainment novel; after all, the title is "The Godfather of Media," not "The Godfather of Entertainment."

My original intention was to use the entertainment industry to write about cultural strategy and reverse export. Later, I thought it would be quite interesting to have a bad guy like Chu An protect a group of "problem children," so I wrote it.

That's all. Fourth, regarding the questions that have already been written.

First, some people said, "Is the pace too fast?"

Hurry up!

Firstly, I'm also trying to compress the exciting and climactic moments in my writing, unlike before when I wrote long, drawn-out narratives.

Secondly, I've already written too much about youth and campus life in the past few years. Those are all my childhood memories. Anyway, I've written to my heart's content and it's fulfilling.

This isn't primarily about school life; it's not even a secondary theme. Let's get straight to the point and save the details for later.

Then, I read the previous chapter, and some people were dissatisfied with Xu Shu's character design.

Originally, there weren't many dissatisfied readers, so there was no need to respond.

Lao Cang's books are actually quite messed up; they're selective about their readers. Like Liu Nian's long, popular science articles, some people love them, while others find them annoying.
Or... let's just close it!

Did Xu Shu cry out in despair?
Is there some misunderstanding about how miserable the entertainment industry is?
Go check out Britney Spears, go check out Cha Ye-ryun from South Korea, go check out things in China...

Domestically... I won't say anything more.

Besides, how did you know I was going to write about Xu Shu's misery? Did you check my backend?
So here's the question: if you don't need to respond, why do you need to?

because
Because, everyone, look at this update from Lao Cang, isn't it awesome?

New book period! In just over ten days, I've already written almost 100,000 words!
This won't work!! We can't even get all the featured spots, and we're not getting enough traffic, so we have to put it on the shelves!
If the product doesn't perform well after its release, Wugeng will lose all motivation again.
Doesn't that make a lot of sense?
so.
(Zhang Mazi slams his gun down!)

Can a single chapter be equivalent to a full chapter of the main text?

(The advisor): "Yes! Up on the mountain!"

(Zhang Mazi): "Can we count this as two chapters today?"

(The advisor): "Yes!! Kneeling."

Old Cang slid to his knees and said, "It's a happy decision then."

Steal a chapter, steal a chapter.

A salute to all the readers who are watching me fool around here.
