Protagonist:

Shen Yao

This time, "Yan Liu Ji" did not get a bargain in the year-end event selection.

The reasons were nothing more than those few points: the broadcast time was too late, and Planet Film and Television was a newly emerging company; even if the final results were decent, it still could not change the ending of "Yan Liu Ji."

"It's not bad; compared to coming away empty-handed, it's still a bit of a harvest."

At least it wasn't a trophy bought with inflated numbers. Shen Yao rarely appeared at Planet Film and Television Company. With only a few days left until the Spring Festival holiday, ordinary colleagues in the company had already gone home for the holiday, but high-level executives like Ma Qingjian were still fighting on the front lines, working overtime.

Looking at the few trophies selected by various websites placed in the company lobby, Ma Qingjian felt that if there was an opportunity, they should still reorder a display rack.

Although the trophies weren't prestigious, given the company's current situation of producing new dramas, there was basically no possibility of coming away empty-handed.

Tsk tsk tsk

Their own boss was still quite capable; besides, a heavyweight new drama would be filmed after the new year, and Planet Film and Television showed a visible upward trend.

"Manager Shen, for the scheduling of 'Huan Xi Ren Jia,' E E Website was very generous, including promotion, which is even better than 'Yan Liu Ji.'"

Even the opening cover of E E Website was a poster for "Huan Xi Ren Jia."

You have to know that E E Website was always proud; those who could enjoy this treatment were basically various film and television dramas that E E Website participated in investing in. "Huan Xi Ren Jia" simply ate the dividends of "Yan Liu Ji" becoming a hit. As for whether they could catch it, Ma Qingjian was not worried.

"Mm, many hands make light work. If this 'Huan Xi Ren Jia' can borrow the east wind of 'Yan Liu Ji,' our subsequent dramas won't worry about selling."

She could even continue to negotiate with E E Website, including membership and advertising revenue sharing, to gain more initiative.

Don't forget, "Yan Liu Ji" and "Huan Xi Ren Jia" were only web dramas; the subsequent new dramas would be filmed according to TV drama standards. Shen Yao planned to deeply cultivate the entertainment industry, so in terms of producing film and television dramas, it was from easy to difficult.

The data of "Huan Xi Ren Jia" was useful to her, but not particularly useful; she still had to rely on the upcoming new drama to prove itself.

Shen Yao silently exhaled, told Ma Qingjian to keep a close eye on "Huan Xi Ren Jia," and she herself had to prepare the arrangement plan for Planet Film and Television for the new year.

One director like Director Zheng was not enough; the new drama could not be filmed one by one. Even ancient costume and modern dramas could start filming simultaneously. She had sufficient funds; as long as the actors didn't cause trouble, she wasn't afraid of problems appearing.

Shen Yao raised her hand to contact Lu Xian. After testing two sentences, she revealed her true intentions.

Lu Xian said helplessly, "Miss Shen, are you treating me as an employee of your noble company?"

Why did he still have to take an inch and want a mile? Although he currently didn't dislike this feeling.

Shen Yao smiled, "With Mr. Lu's abilities, joining Planet Film and Television would be too much of a loss." How could he start from a small employee? Being the boss's wife would be more appropriate.

The latter sentence was what she truly thought; it was just that Shen Yao wasn't yet so glib as to dare say it.

Tacitly taking a detour, Shen Yao got Lu Xian's reply that he would help, and at the same time completely booked her leisure time.

Neither of the two pointed anything out; perhaps it was untimely, perhaps they each had their own concerns. Anyway, they got along in this bland way until E E Website's newly released "Huan Xi Ren Jia" unexpectedly exploded.

……

Even though she had made full preparations in her heart, when the hot searches of "Huan Xi Ren Jia" covered the entire x Weibo, Shen Yao was still surprised.

So popular?

"Manager Shen, this drama really exploded. Not only did the membership and advertising revenue on E E Website keep doubling, but several leading actors also had obvious improvements." The most direct was the number of likes, comments, and followers on x Weibo.

The key was that they were all active fans!

Compared to bought zombie fans, active fans were the confidence of idol stars. Otherwise, how were some advertising endorsements obtained? It was fans spending real money.

Although Planet Film and Television had not signed any idol stars, this did not hinder Ma Qingjian from understanding, because these were one of the main considerations for whether Planet Film and Television would cooperate with them in filming in the future.

You have to know that for a certain drama, the popularity during the filming process was entirely maintained by these fans. This was also why popular traffic little flowers and little boys liked to take on some beautiful and simple personas, easy to gather fans and make money.

"Not bad. This drama is popular, and the big shots can all benefit from it. If we cooperate in the future, it will be easier to talk." After all, it was a win-win thing.

"Qingjian, keep a close eye on the news online. If any signs appear, press them down directly."

During the Spring Festival, there was a large flow of people. "Huan Xi Ren Jia" exploding would also cause trouble for some people.

Like those who planned to make a quick buck during the Spring Festival, their attention was all snatched away by "Huan Xi Ren Jia," and the invested funds were wasted. Wouldn't they be furious?

Ma Qingjian nodded and let Shen Yao not worry about these. She would arrange manpower and strive to let this drama conclude smoothly and beautifully.

On the other side, congratulatory calls came to Shen Yao's hand. A group of people, including Lu Xian, were envious to no end.

Really good luck. Only two dramas were filmed, and both exploded.

Naturally, the upcoming new drama was mentioned by everyone again.

Some who couldn't hold back started to push people into the new drama. Fortunately, Shen Yao had pulled Lu Xian into the partnership in advance; otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to refuse directly.

Lu Xian: ……

Lu Xian smiled with a face full of helplessness. He felt that the reason he was pulled in to invest was entirely because he was reliable.

He had always been the one taking advantage. Now, suddenly being used by others in return, this experience was truly novel.

"Miss Shen, it seems I need to charge extra fees. I imagine Planet Film and Television will be very busy these days."

Although Lu Xian had blocked a large part of people, there were still some with similar strength to Lu Xian who didn't need to give Lu Xian much face.

The two made an appointment at a private restaurant with good taste, facing each other to taste the dishes served.

However, the topics they could talk about had nothing to do with the dishes; they were all work that killed the mood.

"Planet Film and Television is not easy. Mr. Lu, you have been wronged."

Shen Yao raised a smiling face, not mentioning at all that the reason Mr. Lu was wronged was entirely because of her passing-the-buck behavior on this side.

"The new drama is already filming at the Film and Television Base. Please rest assured, Mr. Lu. The return on investment of this new drama will definitely satisfy Mr. Lu."

They were partners after all. Shen Yao's confidence came from the quality of the new drama.

Shen Yao told Lu Xian about the plan to air the new drama on TV stations in a lighthearted way, then patted her palm. "Mr. Lu, please take care of me recently. Some invitations in Jing Shi have been delivered to my doorstep. I can't not go."

The wolves, tigers, and leopards that couldn't hold back started to poke their heads out. Shen Yao felt that traveling alone was too unsafe, so she might as well have one person do the work of two masters. Lu Xian would accompany her.

Lu Xian: ……

Lu Xian opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the girl before her who was interpreting taking an inch to gain a mile to the fullest; a faint affection quickly surged from her heart, slowly filling her entire chest.

Still, still quite special?!

"Miss Shen, you really are impolite," yet it was someone who wouldn't make him dislike her.

Shen Yao tilted her head, her eyebrows and eyes curving like a cold moon hanging in the sky.

"Mr. Lu, being too polite with you, I believe you won't be happy."

This man, he just likes being different; if she acted by the same standards as others, Lu Xian would definitely complain about her in his heart.

As a tasker who had conquered several high-quality men, Shen Yao had a knack for reading people.

Lu Xian was simply a heaven's favorite son who hadn't suffered too much; letting him experience different feelings was exactly what people loved.

After the two finished eating, they each went home to work; then, just as Shen Yao said, Lu Xian was indeed troubled quite a bit, and there really were a lot of banquets in this circle of Jing Shi.

Seven days a week, almost running outside every day, no matter what kind of ox, horse, snake, or god they were, and no matter if they could take advantage, anyway, seeing this fresh meat Shen Yao, they would open their mouths and bite first.

Fortunately, Lu Xian accompanied her; facing the pressure coming from all sides, Shen Yao borrowed the tiger's skin to put on a big show, gradually stabilizing the situation.

But this was ultimately not a long-term plan; with the subsequent development of Planet Film and Television, there would still be people recklessly throwing themselves at it.

"It's truly a headache; Planet Film and Television's trouble isn't in its own development," but rather Planet Film and Television didn't have powerful capital behind it.

Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan had money, but they weren't people of the entertainment industry; Lu Xian? Lu Xian had nothing to do with her for the time being; she couldn't possibly let Lu Xian stand in front and fight desperately for her.

Leaving the dinner party, Shen Yao walked unsteadily, unconsciously pinching her sore and swollen brow.

Huff

Her body was fine, and she didn't worry about getting drunk or anything from drinking, but alcohol entering her stomach was still uncomfortable, and there were all kinds of people at the dinner party; even with Lu Xian helping block most of the malicious gazes, the rest still made Shen Yao feel disgusted.

Once she stood firm, she would definitely properly clean up this circle.

Every day thinking of getting something for nothing, stepping on whoever looked easy to bully; now that they confirmed Shen Yao's script made money, they wanted her to hand it over with both hands, humph!

"There has never been such a thing; those male prostitutes and female thieves they did dare to show off," sooner or later send them to the police station to experience what it means to be exposed by the whole public and die of social embarrassment.

Shen Yao talked to herself with the system in her head, with Lu Xian supporting her by her side.

Lu Xian in casual clothes looked much younger than his actual age; standing with Shen Yao wearing heavy makeup, there was quite a sense of contrast.

Knowing Shen Yao felt uncomfortable in her heart, Lu Xian supported her into the car, then took out the clear water prepared earlier, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

"Don't take these words to heart; things in the circle are very common," like some people who could accompany guests today were all idol stars who were relatively popular recently.

Don't think they are unwilling; although the entertainment industry is chaotic, it values mutual consent; otherwise, if it really blows up, it's not worth the loss.

Lu Xian entered the circle relatively early; back then the circle wasn't very chaotic, but he had still seen quite a lot of things that should exist.

He patted Shen Yao's back, and said a few words in a low voice about these people's skills, "Rest assured, they don't dare to reach out," it was just scaring people; if scared, they could earn an extra portion of money; if not scared, forget it.

Shen Yao raised her head, her eyes misty, looking at Lu Xian and inexplicably feeling soft-hearted.

The tone of speaking involuntarily became lower; Lu Xian didn't know what was wrong with himself; he wasn't moved by so many beauties, but the girl before him made him fall in.

"I'm not worried about them," it's just that Planet Film and Television isn't powerful enough; otherwise, these people wouldn't dare to openly ask for benefits no matter how bold they were.

After drinking a sip of water to moisten her throat, Shen Yao stood up and gestured to Lu Xian that he didn't need to worry; her body had no problem, it was just that what happened at the dinner party earlier was too infuriating.

"Mr. Lu, it seems I'll need trouble for a period of time," this wasn't her intentionally looking for trouble; it was clearly that this group of people in Jing Shi wouldn't let her go.

Lu Xian laughed speechlessly, "No need for courtesy; Miss Shen brings me money, these are all should be," he hadn't not encountered these before.

The suffering Lu Xian had eaten in his early years was harder than what Shen Yao faced now. But no matter how hard it was back then, Lu Xian at least endured and made a name for himself.

Now Shen Yao threw herself into the entertainment industry; the circle had many mountains standing; relying on Lu Xian alone, currently it was still a relatively simple cooperative relationship; wanting to protect people was indeed difficult.

Tacitly not continuing this annoying topic, Lu Xian drove and sent Shen Yao home.

In the following days, Shen Yao spent time in various dinner parties; those she could decline she declined, those she couldn't decline she could only attend.

Occasionally those who spoke sarcastically and impolitely, Shen Yao would also open her mouth to retort back; after all, she wasn't a star relying on her face and persona to eat, no need to care about image; but the disgust of this circle still opened her eyes, indeed more annoying than other circles.

Fortunately, as the weather turned warm, these dinner parties in Jing Shi no longer required Shen Yao to attend.

"Welcome Joyful People" finished broadcasting; Shen Yao's side received a large sum of money again.

With money, the new drama would start; behind Shen Yao, under Lu Xian's introduction, she signed two pretty good directors.

Nowadays directors each had their own direction of expertise; Shen Yao didn't need to say much, only arranged to prepare the money in advance; she herself took a plane to the film and television base that was currently filming.

Director Zheng saw Shen Yao; opening his mouth was praise that this drama would definitely become a hit.

Different from "Smoke Willow Record" and "Welcome Joyful People," this palace intrigue drama's BE core was very attractive, especially the situation of everyone being a villain and no one surviving; simply brain-burning and stimulating.

"General Manager Shen, rest assured; our side adjusts the script outline while filming, striving not to let the plot have loopholes," at least it doesn't look like perfunctorily fooling the audience.

Like some film and television works, not only is the filming rough, but even the set design is very bad.

Finally completely relying on traffic stars acting to prop up the drama's heat, then cutting a crop of leeks, letting the capital behind make a basin full of profit; finally, the ones who suffer can only be those pushed to the front.

Shen Yao wanted to make money, but she wasn't the kind of person who used any means. The new drama being filmed had her own bottom line; Shen Yao was willing to let Director Zheng mess around.

Telling them a couple of words not to let the crew be too chaotic, Shen Yao also looked at the filming progress and nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad; Director Zheng was indeed very capable; it also let her dig up a treasure; compared to actors and stars who attract attention openly, she valued directors and screenwriters and other talents responsible for behind-the-scenes work more; only if the foundation was laid thick could her money-making business last long.
