The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

The wonderful weekend is always so short. Xiaoyue feels like she has to go to work before she has had enough rest.

As soon as Xiaoyue arrived at the sixth floor, Liu Xinran pulled her to the eighteenth floor, saying that there was going to be a ministerial meeting and that she, as a shareholder, could go and listen.

When Xiaoyue heard about this kind of meeting, she refused directly.

Although she is a shareholder of Tianyu, she really does not want to participate in the meetings of Tianyu’s leadership. She just wants to get dividends. Isn’t it nice to make money quietly?

Seeing that Xiaoyue refused, Liu Xinran had no choice but to call Liu Zhonglei and tell him what Xiaoyue meant.

Liu Zhonglei could only tell Xiaoyue to come to the 18th floor to find her at 10 o'clock so that he could talk to her alone.

Xiaoyue agreed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the official website of the Children's Channel published a post publicly praising Lou Zhongyue, expressing gratitude for his righteous act of directly granting the Children's Channel the copyright of this storytelling, and calling on writers across China to write better works to fulfill children's dreams.

Everyone was in a low mood when they went to work this Monday, but when they saw the official praise for Lou Zhongyue, his fans were immediately excited.

What does this show? It shows that Lou Zhongyue is not only a writer, but also a person of integrity, and a person recognized by the government.

Book fans are proud to be fans of Lou Zhongyue.

"Brothers, have you noticed that Lou Lao Mo has never asked us for any reward, and he doesn't even have a social media account..."

"I've discovered a long time ago that Mr. Lou doesn't seem to care about money or other mundane things. He only cares about the update progress of his book."

"When it comes to update progress, Lou Lao Mo says he is second, and no one dares to claim to be first."

"That's right. Not only does he keep updating 30,000 words a day, but he also has time to write fairy tales. He seems to be a person who has gotten rid of vulgar tastes and his thought realm has reached the atmospheric level."

As a result, the image of Lou Lao Mo in the hearts of book fans has been elevated a bit.

Who among the other writers wouldn't be jealous when seeing the official praise? Who wouldn't be jealous when seeing such supportive fans?

But jealousy is of no use.

As for official praise, some people may never get any recognition even after writing books for a lifetime, but Lou Zhongyue achieved it in less than three months.

They looked back at Lou Zhongyue's deeds over the past few months and had to say that they were absolutely unprecedented and unmatched.

If you want to bring out Lou Lao Mo to compete with him now, you can’t find him.

Old Xing called Xiaoyue again.

Xiaoyue saw that it was Lao Xing calling again. Why was Lao Xing calling more and more frequently recently?

With doubts, Xiaoyue still answered the phone.

"Mr. Lou Zhongyue, Tianyu wants to buy the animation copyright of "Lou Zhongyue's Fairy Tales Collection", and recently many bookstores also want to obtain the copyright to publish it as a book, including the official People's Bookstore."

Old Xing is also very nervous. Recently, more and more people have come to find Lou Zhongyue, and he can hardly stand the pressure.

"Tianyu is looking for you again?" Xiaoyue suddenly remembered the ministerial meeting held upstairs. Could this be one of the things discussed?

"Yes, they just contacted me. They offered 10 million yuan for the animation copyright for one story, which is much higher than the market price. At the same time, they also proposed that they hope that Mr. Lou Zhongyue can provide a character image for each story. They said that the character portraits of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" that you drew last time provided great help to their work."

Xiaoyue instantly understood Tianyu’s plan. She had to say that this was indeed a smart move by Tianyu.

You should know that Xiaoyue's last portrait was drawn with a pencil based on the image of the character on TV in her previous life. The drawing method used was sketching, which is completely different from the traditional Chinese painting method of Blue Star China and is closer to realism.

"Okay, just like last time, you sign for me!"

"What about publishing?" Old Xing continued to ask. There were too many people asking the question the fastest.

"Then you should first take a look at the publishing conditions of the People's Book Library." Xiaoyue still wanted to cooperate with the official.

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue saw that there were still five minutes until ten o'clock, so she took the elevator to the 18th floor.

"Hello, Miss Cheng. The president told you to go directly to his office to see him." Liu Zhonglei's assistant saw Xiaoyue and came up to her with a smile.

"Okay, thank you!"

Xiaoyue knocked on the door and Liu Zhonglei's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Xiaoyue pushed the door open and saw the brother and sister Liu Zhonglei and Liu Xinran sitting on the sofa.

"Hello, Uncle Liu! Is Auntie here too?"

"Come and sit down." The brother and sister greeted Xiaoyue warmly.

Xiaoyue sat opposite the two of them. Looking at the attitude of the brother and sister, she thought that what they were looking for her for was no small matter!

"Xiao Yue, I've seen your arrangement for writing songs for the group before. Have you encountered any difficulties so far?" Liu Zhonglei asked with a smile, mainly because he was afraid that asking you directly whether you could complete it would be too hurtful.

"No difficulty."

Liu Zhonglei was ready to comfort Xiaoyue and told her many ways out that he had thought of. This was not difficult, as the girl simply stopped talking.

"Don't feel pressured..." Liu Xinran just said a few words

“No pressure.”

Xiao Yue asked directly: "If you have something to say, just tell me! I really don't have any difficulties or pressure. But after this busy month, I want to take a two-day break."

"Okay, I'll give you a week's leave."

Liu Zhonglei continued: "Two things. Can you finish the theme song of "Flying Fox of Snow Mountain" that you promised in three months?"

"Will it take three months to shoot?" Xiaoyue felt that she still needed to understand the schedule of the TV series.

"Yes, the current plan is to finish filming in three months, editing as we go, and post-production in one month, and then it will be almost ready for broadcast."

"Can I take a look at the edited TV series first? I'll know which plots will be suitable for matching music." Xiao Yue said after thinking for a while.

"No problem." Liu Zhonglei said with a smile: "The second thing is that next month is the official music chart. According to the official requirements, arrangers and singers above level 2 cannot participate in the newcomer ranking period. So there are six months. Many people want to show their talents in July, especially some first-line singers or singing kings and queens, and even song fathers, who may release songs."

"So the company has arrangements?" Xiaoyue asked in surprise.

Liu Zhonglei sighed and said, "July will definitely be a fierce competition, and we at Tianyu have no advantage. We at Tianyu have the best singers, but no good songs. Even if Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu took out their recent stock, they are not sure that they can continue to be number one in July."

"You have been ranked first for three consecutive months, which has attracted the attention of other entertainment companies. The reason why they sent out Qu Di is to take the opportunity to suppress the momentum of you as a newcomer. Your songs have put a lot of pressure on them, and those old guys are not so tolerant. They had no way to deal with the newcomer charts before, but they have more ways to deal with the official music charts."

"Then I can't compete with them with all the songs I've sung this month?" Xiaoyue felt a little unconvinced. With so many classics in her mind, how can I not beat you?

Liu Zhonglei didn't expect Xiaoyue to refuse to admit defeat and wanted to compete with those old guys. He asked, "How is the quality of your new song?"

"I've finished recording one song on Saturday and am preparing to send it to the review and distribution department for review today. Would you like to listen to it first?"

Liu Zhonglei and Liu Xinran both became interested. A song only takes a few minutes and it won't delay anything.

Xiaoyue took out her mobile phone and started playing "I Don't Want to Grow Up".

As soon as the music started, it brought with it a majestic and bright melody, tongue twisters, and alternative rap. The whole song was slightly sad, expressing the girl's wish not to grow up.

"It's refreshing. It's the first time I've heard such a style of music." Liu Zhonglei exclaimed after listening to it.

"This is a very high-quality song with a unique style, and the three girls' singing is also very powerful. No wonder you want to form a group. This sweet girl group is very good!" Liu Xinran praised.

"In another week, there should be three more songs that can be recorded. Those three songs will be as good as this one, or even better." Xiaoyue continued to give them reassurances.

"Then why don't you come here again next Monday and we can listen together?" Liu Zhonglei excitedly made an appointment first, so as not to be late for hearing the good songs.

"it is good!"

"Uncle Liu, do you have anything else to do?" Xiao Yue felt that her trip to the 18th floor should not be in vain, so she started to make some plans in her mind.

"It's okay, it's okay, you have finished all the work." Liu Zhonglei said with a smile.

"Then I have something to do."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it." Both the brother and sister became interested and wanted to see what Xiaoyue was talking about.

"I heard that the company encourages the production of low-budget films?"

Xiaoyue also heard about it at the last meeting. In her previous life, she had written songs, books, and choreographed, but had never worked in film and television.

Since she had a new life, she also wanted to give it a try, so she tried to test the waters first.

"I came up with a script myself, it's absolutely low-budget, and I want to give it a try."

Xiaoyue organized her words and said.

Liu Zhonglei thought about it and felt that this girl had been very busy this month. Since she wanted it, he might as well satisfy her.

"You know that the company's budget for low-budget movies is no more than 10 million, right?"

"The company will only pay 10 million? Will the company take care of the filming equipment, personnel, and the subsequent theaters?" Xiao Yue calculated in her mind. It seemed that this movie cost 60 million in the previous life, but if the company took care of the equipment, personnel, and theaters, then 20 million would be enough.

"Yeah, it's all covered."

"My movie needs 20 million. The company will provide 10 million and I will provide 10 million myself. So this means I am cooperating with the company, right?" Xiaoyue's peach blossom eyes sparkled.

Liu Zhonglei sighed and said, "Okay, fifty-fifty split?"

"Deal." Xiaoyue smiled like a little fox.

Liu Zhonglei sighed secretly: If the child likes it, what else can I do? Just spoil him.
