Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

For several days in a row, Shen Mo was either writing scripts or spending time with his family.

Immersed in the film crew, he was sure to learn something if he wanted to, not to mention he had a stable base of support from the system.

After several days, he combined his memories from his past life and completed about 60-70% of the script.

The Shen siblings found a secluded spot and set off fireworks.

Many people come to this place.

Unfortunately, things are different now than they were ten years ago; fireworks are banned now.

A box of fireworks shot into the sky with a series of "bangs," transforming into a dazzling display of color in an instant.

There were many other people around, just like them, who had come to secretly set off fireworks.

"Brother, what do you think of me applying to a university in Chengdu?"

"It's your own business, you decide for yourself."

Shen Xue is a senior in high school this year, and in June of this year, she will face the most important turning point in her life.

She has always had excellent grades, so Shen Mo isn't worried about that.

"However, if you're taking the exam in Chengdu because I'm in Chengdu, there's no need for that. I'm just starting out here; who knows where I'll end up?"

"Oh!" Shen Xue stuck out her tongue, realizing he had guessed her thoughts.

"The arresting officers are here!"

Shen Mo immediately grabbed Shen Xue and started running.

The two had been wandering around this area since they were little and knew the paths very well. In no time, they found their way into the park and then ran home.

At home, my parents are watching the Spring Festival Gala.

When they returned, they happened to see the dance performance "Jasmine".

Chinese classical dance reveals natural beauty in every smile and gesture, and showcases profound cultural heritage in every movement.

After watching the entire Spring Festival Gala, Shen Mo judged that the dance programs "Jasmine" and "Zhu'er" were outstanding and would become very popular.

After browsing Douyin (TikTok), sure enough, the two dances have started to appear frequently in many bloggers' videos.

In the song category, only "China in the Lights" and "The Shepherd of Koktokay" were more popular.

The most popular language-based program, the skit "The Balcony," instantly resonated with the entire internet.

It was during the pandemic that the period of home isolation resonated with everyone.

Shen Mo's favorite program is the martial arts show "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

It wasn't that the show was particularly outstanding, but rather that while watching the two martial arts stars, he suddenly thought that with his own physical abilities, perhaps he should also learn some combat skills.

He quietly added this idea to his list of goals for the new year.

However, compared to the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, the dance program "Tang Palace Night Banquet" that appeared on the Henan Province Spring Festival Gala this year really became a hit.

I took a break on the first day of the Lunar New Year to continue writing the script and occasionally think about my new song.

Meanwhile, the battle for viewership of short dramas on Douyin has finally come to an end.

Both "Drama Express" and Fengxing Culture are struggling to keep up.

Although the results were remarkable and the entire market for short dramas was greatly expanded, they were investing real money, and the revenue sharing period was still three months long. Who could withstand that?

Shen Mo stayed up all night writing a script, and also spent New Year's Eve there.

Before I could even fully open my eyes, a voice boomed deafeningly.

"what!"

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?!"

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, let me tell you in advance, no bathing, washing clothes, or sweeping are allowed today."

"Get up and eat."

Lin Yu's voice came from the living room.

Shen Mo was still half asleep when, with a bang, the door was kicked open by Shen Xue.

"Brother... Brother... Brother..."

"Is this you...is this really you?"

Shen Xue jumped onto the bed without any regard for her image and shoved her phone directly into his face.

After a long silence, I slowly began to see clearly.

Yu Ying, dressed in a cheongsam, her slender figure accentuated by a predatory glint in her eyes, delivered her line: "Want to sleep together?"

"It's me!"

"Holy crap! The young master of the hidden faction in Hong Kong!"

"My brother is Duan Xiuming, the young master of the Dark Clan! This world is insane!"

Shen Mo listened, so embarrassed that he kept scratching the soles of his feet, wishing that a crack would appear in the floor so he could stuff this freakish sister into it.

"Quick! Give it to me!"

Just as he was feeling awkward, Shen Xue suddenly reached out her hand.

"What?"

"Account! You're the lead actor, don't you have some kind of insider account, the kind where you can watch shows for free?"

"Hurry! I feel terrible right now."

Shen Mo remained silent: "No, I'm just an actor. Aren't you overestimating me?"

He really didn't.

Strictly speaking, this drama belongs to Sunny Day Films.

The current Qingtian Film and Television is no longer the empty shell company it was half a month ago, but an operating company with nearly two hundred people.

At best, he's just a top star, and he doesn't even have a management contract, although a shareholding contract would be even more impressive.

"Ah! You didn't get any! There are still dozens of episodes to go, that's dozens of dollars! You guys are so greedy!"

Despite saying that, her body language betrayed her; her fingers expertly entered the password, ready to unlock in the next episode.

"Buy a package deal, and you'll save twenty or thirty yuan."

Shen Mo chuckled and offered a reminder.

"What's the use of reminding me!" Shen Xue said with a look of disgust, jumping off the bed and completely forgetting about the 'male god Duan Xiuming' she had just been thinking about.

Compared to "After the Breakup", "What a Good Girl" is a short drama series aimed at female audiences.

Liu Qing already demonstrated her superb ability to handle delicate emotions when filming "After the Breakup".

In addition, the female-oriented market is inherently superior to the male-oriented market. After this drama was filmed, they assessed that its popularity would definitely be higher than that of "After the Breakup".

As expected, within just one day of its release, "What a Good Girl" garnered over 50 million views and over 5 million yuan in revenue.

For Shen Mo, it was a matter of receiving his salary and waiting for his share of the profits.

Of course, he knew that this treatment wouldn't last long.

As more and more funds are injected, his shareholding will decrease.

If I were truly a young person in my early twenties, I might shout about the injustice, then rebel as an angry youth, even take it to court, and end up in a miserable state.

Unfortunately, he wasn't.

To gain respect, one must possess corresponding strength.

In the face of capital, let alone a short drama actor who sang two hit songs, even a star can be manipulated at will.

Feeling the pressure, Shen Mo finished washing up and continued writing the script.

"It should be finished today."

Paying New Year's visits on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner at my fourth uncle's house. That's right, the dinner has been going on from before the New Year to after. His father's generation always has a lot of people.

Compared to Shen Xue asking about grades and which university he was preparing to apply to, the topics of conversation for someone like him who had already graduated and was working were always the same.

Do you have a girlfriend?

How's work?

Compared to their family, the fourth and second uncles' families were better off. Although there was a hint of superiority in their words, they were generally quite restrained.

Especially since his father had just undergone surgery, and none of the families had lent him any money.

Shen Mo didn't say much from beginning to end; he carefully observed everything that was happening.

I am both confused and interested in the views of my parents' generation.

Even though things were so tense before, once the matter is over, we can sit together like a family and eat together for the New Year.

After finishing lunch, Shen Mo said goodbye to his parents and elders and then left.

An hour later, at the power station bus stop.

"Professor Shen Mo, I was so happy to receive your call. Thank you for working so hard during the Chinese New Year!"

As soon as Chen Qi got out of the car, he rushed forward to shake hands with him.

"Director Chen is really working hard; he can't even rest during the Chinese New Year."

"I've come here specifically to wish you a Happy New Year!"

Shen Mo handed over the gift box.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! But forget about the gift!" Chen Qi immediately felt flustered.

Receiving gifts in public is unacceptable.

The crackdown on "petty corruption" is now incredibly intense.

"Oh! I've made it in time, Professor Shen Mo, is there any for me?"

Shen Mo was taken aback.

"Director Zhou, you're here too!"
