The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Tonight, Xiaoyue finally finished the "Lou Zhongyue Fables Collection" and added a sentence from the author: "I hope these short stories can inspire and make children think."

The parents were originally very happy to see Lou Zhongyue update the fables, but when they saw the sentence "the author has something to say", they felt very moved.

The story of Lou Zhongyue not only enriches children's childhood, but also teaches them many life lessons.

Someone on the forum said: "I wonder if Lou Zhongyue will continue to write short stories? His novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" has two million words now, right?"

"Oh my goodness, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten that he has already written over two million words, and I feel like it won't be finished until it has 400 words."

"Recently, some writers have imitated Lou Zhongyue to write Xianxia. I took a look at a few of them. First of all, the scale is small and cannot be compared with Lou Zhongyue's. After all, in the field of Xianxia, ​​Lou Zhongyue is the founder and no one can surpass him."

"What the above person said is right. Not to mention the fairy tale genre, even in the field of children's books, no one can surpass him, right?"

"That's right, it seems that Lou Zhongyue came to the literary world to be the founder of the school."

"That makes sense. He has already occupied two sections now, right? Does short stories count as well?"

"Although fables are short stories, they are more like children's stories, which are the two sections. I look forward to Lou Zhongyue going to Huo Huo's readers in other sections."

"Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly very excited. I'm looking forward to it."

No matter what people say online, Xiaoyue has no plans to write about other topics. She is too busy and will wait until she finishes filming "Avatar" before doing anything else.

Now that the book has been completed, the Art and Literature Library approached Lao Xing. This time they proposed the idea of ​​having Xiaoyue invest in the Art and Literature Library so that they would not have to worry about copyright in the future.

"You mean, you want to give 5% of the shares to Lou Zhongyue, and then all his books will be published in your library? What about the profit sharing?"

Old Xing was very surprised. He knew that the last collaboration between Yiwen Bookstore and Louzhongyue's Fairy Tales Collection really made a lot of money, at least 500 million or 600 million. Of course, Louzhongyue made more, almost three times as much as Yiwen Bookstore.

"Yes, we are sincere. The profit margin will be the same as before, as long as his books are published in our library."

"I can't make the decision on this. I will get back to you after I discuss this with Master Lou Zhongyue."

Old Xing hung up the phone and sighed, thinking that maybe Mr. Lou Zhongyue wouldn't need him anymore in the future.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Lao Xing said, "Come in."

The door opened a crack, revealing Lao Zhou's big head.

Seeing him acting suspiciously, Old Xing asked, "What's wrong?"

Old Zhou chuckled and walked into Old Xing's office with an exquisite box in his arms.

"You are... giving me a gift?" Old Xing has been feeling that Old Zhou is a bit strange recently, the kind of person who wants to flatter someone but doesn't dare to. As soon as Mr. Lou Zhongyue finished his short story, he came to his house with a gift, which made people suspect that his motives were not pure.

"No, this is what I'm going to give to Lou Zhongyue. Can you please pass it on?"

Old Xing suddenly realized that Old Zhou was thinking far ahead. Giving gifts to himself is naturally not as good as giving gifts to the real owner.

Seeing that Old Xing was looking at him without saying anything, Old Zhou took out a small box from his arms and said, "This is a gift for you, but it's an antique."

When Old Xing opened the box, he found that it was actually a brush. It was obviously a real thing. Old Zhou was really willing to spend a lot of money on it.

"I know that although there are some unpleasantness between us, we don't have any deep hatred. We have worked together for more than ten years, so you have to help me with this. I will also do my best to help you with anything in the future." It was rare for Lao Zhou to speak seriously about a bunch of reasons.

Old Xing sighed, stuffed the brush back to Old Zhou, and said, "I can help you, but forget about the things. If Master Lou Zhongyue doesn't want them, don't blame me."

"You can't let the horse run without giving it grass. Just accept it."

"Fuck, you are the horse, get out of here now, or I will regret it."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll leave now."

Lao Zhou left, but left the gift box for Lou Zhongyue behind.

Old Xing sighed, this is the workplace, this is how people behave.

The next morning, Xiaoyue received a call from Lao Xing before she went to the film and television city.

"You said that Yiwen Bookstore will give me 5% of the shares? Then let me ask you, what is the market value of Yiwen Bookstore?"

Old Xing quickly checked and said, "The current market value is 2 billion."

"Only 2 billion market value? How much is 5%?"

Old Xing opened his calculator and calculated, then said, "One hundred million."

"Then do you think I need their 100 million?"

"No shortage." Old Xing said honestly.

"So, since they are not sincere, let's not talk about giving them shares."

"I understand."

Old Xing hung up the phone and laughed again. He thought that even at his age, he couldn't see as clearly as Mr. Lou Zhongyue.

Beijing has now entered winter. Xiaoyue also wore a thin down jacket. Walking on the road in the film and television city, she felt like a lonely traveler.

"Good morning, Mr. Cheng." Wu Hao appeared from nowhere and walked beside Xiaoyue.

"It's early." Ma Teng suddenly stood on the other side of Xiaoyue with soy milk and fried dough sticks in his hand.

"Brother Teng, give me half of the fried dough stick. I haven't had breakfast yet." Wu Hao shamelessly tried to grab it.

Ma Teng dodged it immediately and said, "I just saw my sister bought you breakfast."

"Really? That's great..."

Zhang Zehua was walking in front, turned around and saw Xiaoyue and the other two, and said, "Good morning, everyone!"

"Good morning." Xiaoyue said.

The threesome became four, and by the time they arrived at the studio, there were more than a dozen people.

"Let's get started." Director Wu Hao shouted, and everyone dispersed to do their own work.

Recently, Zhang Feng's lightning special effects team has been working particularly hard, but the treatment is also top-notch. Xiaoyue now calculates their salary on a daily basis, ten thousand per person a day. Who wouldn't work hard? At the end of the day, they make three hundred thousand a month, which, including the basic salary, is almost three hundred and fifty thousand.

Although the money is high, the requirements for the work are also very high. The special effects have never been approved in one go. Xiaoyue always makes some suggestions, but they are professional and found that the effect is better after the modification according to Mr. Cheng's requirements. Now it has been almost a month since the filming, and the film has been more than halfway through. If we hurry up, we may catch up with the Spring Festival.

In fact, Xiaoyue’s plan is only for the Spring Festival period.

Speaking of the Spring Festival, Xiaoyue suddenly remembered that she was about to graduate from university. China was different from her previous life. University only had three years, no summer vacation, only the Spring Festival holiday. School started in early February every year and ended in mid-December.

Xiaoyue has to go back to school in December to prepare for her thesis defense.

After some calculations, I realized that by then the filming of "Avatar" had been completed and I would only need to do some supervision in the post-production.

"Phone Booth" was taken off the shelves yesterday, with box office revenue reaching 4.2 billion yuan, setting a record in China for making a big profit with a small investment. It has now been put on the Chinese Film and Television Network for paid viewing, which is very cheap, only one yuan per time.

To be honest, this box office really stimulated many directors.

Let’s not talk about Director Feng. His movie "The Dream of Red Mansions" had a box office of 450 million yuan and made 250 million yuan in profit, so it was a profit after all.

On the contrary, "Mech Tank", a science fiction blockbuster with an action star and a budget of 300 million, also earned 300 million at the box office, barely breaking even. The director of "Mech Tank", Jiang Yu, is a new director of Tianyu, only 22 years old. His first film last year seemed to have earned 100 million with an investment of 20 million. This is his second film, and this box office is considered a failure for him.

In fact, Tianyu originally had high hopes for the science fiction film "Mech Tank", but it turned out to be worse than "Phone Booth". It invested 10 million yuan and earned more than 1.2 billion yuan, which accounted for almost 30% of Tianyu's film profits.

Xiaoyue no longer cares about the money in her bank card. For example, the Holiday Inn has income every month, and the Fairy Tale Collection makes even more money. Even if the 1.5 billion investment in "Avatar" is removed, there are still more than 3 billion left.

In other words, she had gained so much in just half a year since she came to Blue Star.

Some people say that once people have money, they will focus on spiritual enjoyment. Xiaoyue is in this state now.

The filming was undoubtedly hard work, but she tried things that she had never dared to do in her previous life, and she felt happy in her heart.

Xue Ying'er had originally planned to release her new song in October, but because she was filming and had no time to promote it, the release was delayed to November. So in November, Xiaoyue did not prepare any songs, and she also did not have time to prepare any songs for the charts.

Xiaoyue had already prepared the songs for "Avatar". She would compose the soundtrack whenever she had time, just to ensure that the film could be released during the Spring Festival.
