The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 176 "Mermaid" Editing & Short Story Killing Crazy

The film editing of "The Mermaid" has been completed. This time, the review department of Yuexiang Entertainment and Xiaoyue watched the film together.

Xiaoyue was reading and recording in her notebook what she saw and what she wanted to suggest. Wu Hao was sitting next to her and was terrified.

Mr. Nie, why do you have so many suggestions? Is my editing so bad?

Two hours later, Wu Hao found that his back was soaked. He looked at Xiaoyue's notebook with resentment. It had so much recorded on it that it was almost killing him.

People in other departments had no idea that Xiaoyue would have so many suggestions for improvement, and they all congratulated Wu Hao.

"Director Wu, your movie is really well made. It will definitely be a big hit!"

“The quality is absolutely top-notch.”

After hearing the compliment, Wu Hao felt his face burning. He was embarrassed.

Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing when she saw his embarrassing look. In fact, there were quite a few suggestions for improvement, and some shots might even have to be re-shot.

Xiaoyue took Wu Hao back to the office on the 15th floor.

"sit down."

Xiaoyue opened her laptop and looked through the rectification suggestions she had recorded.

"We watched and talked..."

"Okay." Wu Hao took out his notebook like an eggplant hit by frost.

"You don't need to take notes. I'll send you a copy of my suggestions. Just listen to them with your brain."

Xiaoyue didn't want to waste time, so she played the video quickly while giving her suggestions.

Wu Hao listened attentively. It was true that Mr. Nie's suggestion was really good. Why didn't he think of it at that time?

It seems that I still have a lot to learn, so I should buy more books to read.

An hour later, Xiaoyue finished her revised suggestions, then made a copy of her notes and threw it to Wu Hao.

"You have two weeks to make corrections, and then I'll watch the movie with you again."

"Thank you, Mr. Nie. I understand."

Looking at Wu Hao's back, Xiao Yue smiled. This guy really needs to continue to improve his directing skills. I hope this will be a lesson for him.

Xiaoyue began writing her short story "Surgery", which is the third short story she is going to publish. She believes that there will be fewer people like Edward in the future.

At this time, Mary came in.

"Mr. Nie..."

Seeing that Ma Li looked embarrassed, Xiao Yue said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Ma Li then said, "The head of the Artist Department, Zhang Zehua, doesn't care about the newly signed artists at all. What should we do?"

Xiao Yue frowned. Was she hallucinating? What new artist? Wasn't Zhang Zehua the only artist in the artist department?

"The three newly signed artists have been idle for more than half a month now after finishing filming The Mermaid. I wanted to ask Zhang Zehua about the next arrangements, but he went out to travel."

"When did you sign these three artists? How come I didn't know about it?"

Ma Li secretly cried out in alarm, seeing that President Nie's face didn't look very good, it seemed that Wu Hao had not reported to her at all.

"Before filming The Mermaid, Wu Haohai signed the contract during the selection process, and later joined the crew to film."

"Inform Wu Hao that he will be dismissed from his position as general manager. He will be appointed as the head of the artist department, and Zhang Zehua will be the deputy head. You will be the general manager. If you continue to do this kind of thing, you will be fired from the bottom, starting with the grassroots employees."

For a moment, Ma Li didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Wu Hao's position as general manager is actually just a figurehead. The job of general manager was originally done by Ma Li. Xiaoyue's move can be regarded as setting things right.

After hearing what Ma Li said, Wu Hao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. President Nie was being too cruel.

The position of general manager is dispensable to him, the problem is, who the hell is willing to be the director of the artist department?

After Zhang Zehua received Wu Hao's call, he wanted to laugh out loud. He knew that Wu Hao would make a fool of himself sooner or later. He would lose his position as general manager and become the director of the artist department. Wouldn't it be easy for him?

"What's the matter? Why are you smiling so happily?" Xue Ying'er hugged Zhang Zehua's neck.

Zhang Zehua was afraid that she would fall, so he put his big hands around her small waist and said with a smile: "It's impossible for you to become the deputy director of the Artist Department. Wu Hao was demoted by General Manager Nie and directly appointed as the director of the Artist Department. I became the deputy director."

Xue Ying'er didn't feel sad after hearing this. Instead, she laughed and said, "Wu Hao deserves it."

"That's right, but Ma Li will definitely be the general manager. He will be managed by Ma Li whether at home or at the company in the future."

Zhang Zehua was gloating over his misfortune, so Wu Hao should just continue to be a director.

"It seems that you don't want to be controlled by me, right?"

Zhang Zehua's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said bitterly: "Haven't I already handed over all my management rights? You are now in charge now."

Xue Ying'er was immediately satisfied, she held his head and kissed him.

Xiaoyue didn't really ignore the signed artists. She found Liu Wenjie and hoped to throw a few of them into "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for training.

Liu Wenjie agreed without saying a word and actually stuffed it in.

After Wu Hao found out, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew that President Nie would not ignore him.

"Surgical Operation" was uploaded to the China Culture Network by Xiaoyue. Book fans exclaimed again that Lou Zhongyue was stimulated and published three consecutive short stories to consolidate his position.

Many veteran novelists have given positive comments on Lou Zhongyue’s three short stories. The official authorities added fuel to the fire by including these three short stories, as well as an earlier short story "Jewelry", into the textbooks for middle school students.

The middle school students burst into tears after seeing this official notice.

"Lou Lao Mo, my love for you will be discounted from now on."

"Why, why does Mr. Lou want to write short stories? Aren't novels more interesting?"

"Fuck, I'm Edward. If you hadn't provoked Lou Zhongyue, he wouldn't have gone crazy and written a short story."

In the end, the middle school students directed their insults at Edward.

At this time, Edward was almost becoming autistic due to the attacks from all sides. If he had known earlier, why would he have provoked Lou Zhongyue?

Some foreign leaders who originally wanted to challenge the Chinese have temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​challenge and are preparing to find an opportunity to avenge their previous humiliation.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and Tianyu released two new songs by Xiaoyue, namely "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge" and "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".

In particular, the artistic conception of the lyrics of "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge" was actually liked by many poets, and this song directly became the number one in July.

Xiaoyue took the opportunity to post a poem "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge" using Wangshu's account: The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky. The maples on the river bank and the fishing fires face me, making me sleep in sorrow. The bell of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City reaches the passenger ship at midnight.

Coincidentally, there really is a city called Gusu, a mountain city in western China. There happens to be a Hanshan scenic spot nearby, but there is no temple.

When the officials of Gusu City saw this poem, they were so delighted that they built a temple on Hanshan Mountain overnight to worship Emperor Qian, and also engraved the poem on a stone tablet.

It is really said that many people came here because of this poem, and it became a famous tourist check-in destination.

Officials in many regions wanted Wangshu to write poems for their cities and were willing to pay high fees.

When Gusu City saw this situation, they took the initiative to propose to the Chinese authorities that they were willing to give 10% of the income from the Hanshan Scenic Area to Wangshu as a writing fee, hoping that they could help contact her.

When Nie Zheng saw these requests, he agreed on behalf of Xiaoyue.

When Jiang Pingsheng brought the contract to Xiaoyue for signature, Xiaoyue was stunned. How could she earn such income just by writing a poem?

She thought about it and signed the document. She thought it would be a waste. When China needed donations, she would donate more.

"Ma Li, please pay more attention to whether there are natural disasters in various parts of China. If there are, our Yuexiang Entertainment will actively donate."

"Okay, Mr. Nie."

Ma Li looked at Xiao Yue with admiration. President Nie was indeed not the kind of person who only cared about making money and didn't care about other people's lives.

It just so happened that a section of mountain road in Suzhou City was destroyed by a mudslide and it just became a hot topic.

Xiao Yue waved her hand and said, "We at Yue Xiang Entertainment will cover all the costs of repairing that mountain road."

The official Weibo account of Yuexiang Entertainment directly tagged the official Chinese government and the official Gusu City government to express this intention, which immediately attracted the attention and praise of the Chinese people.

Nie Zheng directly approved and agreed to Yuexiang Entertainment's donation and gave praise.

The guy named "Paparazzi Zhuo" showed up again and broke the news: "Yue Shen and Wang Shu are good friends. This song and poem is their second collaboration. The first collaboration was the comedy movie "Flirting Scholar" that is being prepared for filming. Many of the poems in the movie were written by Wang Shu, and the script was written by Yue Shen."

Netizens were delighted.

"Isn't this a powerful combination? I'm looking forward to it."

“So it’s true that talented people like to play with talented people.”

"I remember that Lou Zhongyue also seemed to know Yueshen, right?"

"It was Goddess Yue who wrote the theme song and interlude for "Flying Fox of Snow Mountain"."

"Lou Zhongyue, Yueshen, and Wangshu, don't you think it's strange to put these three names together?"

"Fuck, it's all related to the moon."

"There is another person, Chanjuan, who is also related to the moon."

"So, these four people are not a family, right? Lou Zhongyue is the father, and the other three are daughters?"

Netizens were shocked by this bold guess, but after thinking about it carefully, it actually makes sense. These four people feel like a family.

"The four of them are more mysterious than the other. Except for Yue Shen who has appeared in public a few times, he was always covered by glasses and masks. The other three have never shown their faces. This is very mysterious."

"I'm going to ask Lou Zhongyue to find out. Let's see if he tells me."

"Go together, go together..."

There were quite a few people following the trend, and soon Lou Zhongyue’s Weibo was flooded with comments.

Jiang Pingsheng rushed to Xiaoyue's office in a hurry.

"Boss Nie, something has happened. Please check the Internet."

Jiang Pingsheng already knew Xiaoyue's four identities, but he didn't expect netizens to be so smart and could guess them almost exactly.

Xiao Yue opened the trending search and couldn't believe her eyes. Are these fans detectives? Has the truth been discovered? No, she absolutely cannot admit it.

She opened Lou Zhongyue's Weibo and posted a message, saying: "If you fly with the phoenix, you must be a beautiful bird; if you walk with tigers and wolves, you must be a fierce beast! How far you can go depends on who you walk with! Yes, we know each other."

"Lou Zhongyue is so awesome. He actually admitted that he knows the other three and recognizes their talents."

"I'm so jealous. Why don't I have such a good friend?"

"Because you are not a phoenix, nor a beautiful bird, what is there to envy?"

"I looked at my two idiot friends. Okay, I admit it. Lou Zhongyue is right. I am also an idiot. Woo woo..."

After reading the comments online, Xiaoyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally her vest was saved.
