Main Character:

Shen Yao

Some words are simply hard to speak out, but once spoken, they're nothing much.

The win-win cooperation with the variety show "Actor Starlight Road" is, in the final analysis, a matter between platforms; at the very least, it has little to do with Shen Yao or even Jiang Han Zhou.

The grievances between platforms are rather intricate and complex; although they occasionally stir up rumors of discord, after all, there are too many domestic platforms, and resources are relatively not scarce. When they encounter good resources, they will inevitably compete for them, which easily gives rise to all sorts of gossip.

Fortunately, the people in charge of the platforms have good relations, and appropriate cooperation is also acceptable.

Shen Yao sat in Jiang Han Zhou's car, the two returning home together to rest.

Because Shen Yao was still outside responsible for recording the "Actor Starlight Road" program, she returned to the hotel; Jiang Han Zhou, after seeing Shen Yao off, still had to return to the company to continue working overtime.

Shen Yao: ……

This person is truly busy; luckily I'm not idle either, otherwise the process of mutual understanding need not have appeared at all. At the very least, he doesn't look like someone intoxicated by romance; saying he's severed all emotion and love wouldn't be wrong.

"Producer Shen, it's set, it's set, the time is set."

The "Actor Starlight Road" program crew: a staff member pushed open the door and, with a beaming face, congratulated Shen Yao.

The reason was that the finale guest for "Actor Starlight Road" had been finalized — precisely the current young Film Emperor Feng Chen, who has no official duties and whose fans are frantically inquiring about his recent situation.

Shen Yao originally hadn't planned to invite this young Film Emperor, because there were many legends about him in the circle; Shen Yao consciously considered herself a marginal figure — how could she have any connection with the Male Lead?

Moreover, ever since this Male Lead recognized the Female Lead, he had completely transformed into a love-brain; unless it was necessary work that couldn't be declined, all his remaining time was spent guarding the Female Lead's side — simply more competent than a nanny serving people.

The System would occasionally complain to Shen Yao about the situation on the Male and Female Leads' side.

The main target of complaint was the Male Lead; as for the Female Lead, her career is currently flourishing — she's far more useful than that love-brained Male Lead.

Shen Yao gave an "mm" of acknowledgment and nodded with a smile, telling the staff to inform the others of the good news. Currently, there was only about a week left until the finale of "Actor Starlight Road"; the remaining contestants were all seizing the time to rehearse, striving to amaze everyone when they took the stage.

After all, the finale still relied on live audience voting; fans may be the main force, but those audience members aren't resources they can just give up on if they say so.

Who doesn't want to place in the top ranks? After all, the novels provided by Hongshi Network vary in quality; naturally, only by obtaining works with good character settings and excellent writing can they quickly gain a foothold in the circle.

It's not like they truly lack social experience — everyone knows that winning is the starting point. Having a good starting point allows one to surpass sixty percent of people in the circle.

The staff member turned and reported this good news to the rest of the program crew.

As expected, the others were also very happy, because the quality of this invited guest directly determined whether the finale battle of the entire program could continue to explode in popularity, and even more directly affected how much bonus money they could get.

This variety show "Actor Starlight Road" has already created too many miracles for them; what the program crew needs to do now is press the advantage and strive to create a perfect finale effect, letting the program's afterglow last a bit longer, and also letting them smoothly start recording the second season.

That's right; domestic variety shows have always been like this — as long as the broadcast effect is good, there will be successive sequels waiting there.

Although sequels may not necessarily be as outstanding as the first season, the investment and bonuses obtained will certainly be several times or even over ten times the initial amount.

Are the program crew staff happy because they can see the young Film Emperor Feng Chen? They care more about the guaranteed huge bonus.

Who doesn't like money? Otherwise, why would they want to work in this kind of place, working day-and-night inverted shifts every day, being scolded by leaders, undermined by colleagues, with no satisfactory place?

At this moment, Shen Yao had already stood up and walked to where the director was, sitting down.

The two looked at each other, then hurriedly checked for gaps and filled omissions, striving to ensure the finale live broadcast would have no mishaps.

Time forward

Soon, the week's deadline passed in a flash.

Shen Yao and the director sat behind the camera; ahead stood Feng Chen, wearing a suit, revealing a perfectly measured smile.

This person had arrived just two days ago and was currently conducting the final dress rehearsal with the other contestants.

Especially since Feng Chen accounted for a large proportion in this live broadcast, and his lines couldn't even fit on a single sheet of paper; to prevent accidents during the live broadcast, the program crew could only accompany this young Film Emperor through several more relevant dress rehearsals.

As the final line fell, Feng Chen walked down from the stage.

The director called "Cut," signaling the official end of this dress rehearsal; next would be a few hours of rest, followed by the even more exciting finale battle — also the final episode of "Actor Starlight Road."

The director had already stood up and gone to Feng Chen's side; even though he already had an explosive hit show in hand, the director still didn't dare to put on too high an attitude.

After all, Feng Chen's abilities are known to all inside and outside the circle; the director also wants to continue cooperating in the future — how could he possibly offend this young Film Emperor?

Shen Yao, however, didn't join in this bustle; the reason also included her intention not to provoke the Male and Female Leads too much. Even though she currently communicates with the Female Lead Shi Wei, it's merely letting Shi Wei send some vegetables and fruits to her home and this side every few days for consumption.

She's not short of money, but similar products grown from such a Spiritual Field Space that carry a portion of Spiritual Energy have very great benefits for ordinary people if used persistently long-term.

Shen Yao cannot take out some body-strengthening Pills from her space for her family to pop; on one hand, Pills acting on anyone other than the user themselves will have a medicinal property weakening problem; on the other hand, most of these Pills in her space have constitution restrictions (they are orthodox cultivation products), and her family members are not the material capable of taking them.

Fortunately, with Shi Wei's Spiritual Field Space, these things can be bought just by spending money.

Shen Yao can now earn money that cannot be spent in several lifetimes just by relying on one variety show; the money Shi Wei needs is precisely what Shen Yao worries about and uses the least. Therefore, the household's daily vegetables and fruits have never been interrupted, and even the staple foods like rice and flour that Shi Wei's family produces and sells almost not at all often appear on the dining table.

"This Feng Chen is really strange," the System sighed with emotion that this young Film Emperor has many behaviors that don't match the description; one doesn't know if it's the effect of the plot occurring in reality, or if the person himself just has this personality.

"Strange? Famous from a young age, always standing on the altar and never fallen" — what's strange about that? One should say that Feng Chen not being as arrogant as imagined until now is already quite surprising.

This person, whether in the previous life or this life, has been smooth sailing all the way.

Only the previous life's death was rather farcical; and reincarnating into modern times with memories intact, he became the Feng Family's pampered Young Master Two.

With such a family background and superior appearance, Feng Chen could understand even if his eyes grew on top of his head.

Don't look at the director nodding and bowing to Feng Chen; but the other party isn't really putting on airs either — it's just that his attitude has always been this way. Toward anyone other than the Female Lead and family, he's always cold and indifferent in manner.

System: ……

The System pursed its mouth, no longer continuing to speak, but instead buried its head in digging hard — and the result really was so. True to the Host's words, whether on the internet or in reality, even industry insiders and fans personally admit that Feng Chen is just such an indifferent character, and these two years there are even faint signs of improvement.

Some fans relatively familiar with Feng Chen are all suspecting whether the other party is in a relationship? However, because there's temporarily no evidence to indicate it, fans are also unwilling to accept these things that are hard for them to accept.

"Like plugging one's ears while stealing a bell" — the evidence of Feng Chen indicating he's in a relationship is somewhat ironclad, including the fact that he often stays in Tao Yuan Village; the fellow villagers aren't exactly tight-lipped people either, and when occasionally chatting they all bring a touch of ambiguous showing off. If one truly intends to investigate, it's impossible not to touch upon Shi Wei.

After all, Shi Wei is a considerably famous Celebrity in Tao Yuan Village and even Tao Yuan County.

"Fans have invested too much; they find it hard to accept" — however, Feng Chen isn't the type of traffic star who watches fans' faces. Even if he doesn't mix in the circle, he has the Feng Family to back him up. Right now, if I haven't guessed wrong, Shi Wei's career has hit a bottleneck — precisely the time for Feng Chen to show his prowess.

Being able to come accept the "Actor Starlight Road" invitation is also because there are places where he needs Blueberry TV and Tao Tao Video; thinking to sell a wave of favor first, only then can he better make demands.

The subsequent live recording went very smoothly, there were many fans who came to the venue, and the actors who had rehearsed hard on stage also worked very hard.

As the final note landed, the screen behind displayed the real-time voting data; looking at the exaggerated tens of millions of votes about to break a hundred million, everyone at the scene screamed in astonishment without exception.

You must know this is a one-person-one-vote real-name system game; so many votes cannot all be said to be legitimate (theoretically there exists the suspicion of vote-rigging), but such an exaggerated ratio placed in the entire broader environment for this display shows just how high this program's national popularity is.

Even the System was shocked beyond measure; it turns out the Host's variety show really exploded in popularity.

The final first-place winner wept uncontrollably, crying to the point of nearly going to the hospital.

You must know that before participating in the program, she was merely a rookie who had just entered the industry for two years; not to mention having no film and television resources, she had almost been forced by the pressure of reality to consider switching careers and leaving the entertainment industry.

As a result, because of the program "Actor Starlight Road," her situation was completely turned around; even before she had finished participating in the program, she had already received contact from multiple domestic brokerage companies, and in order to sign her, the contracts offered were not only relaxed with few restrictions but also provided many additional resource perks, truly dazzling her with choices.

The other second and third place winners were not as exaggerated as the first place, but compared to their situations before participating in this program, it can still be said to be a complete makeover.

"Actor Starlight Road" ultimately changed the situations of many grassroots industry newcomers and ordinary people; even before recruiting sponsors for a second season, sponsors had already actively come knocking to inquire — these are solid, tangible achievements.

Blueberry TV, Tao Tao Video, and even Hongshi Network were all very satisfied with this cooperation; without Shen Yao urging them, the three parties had already finalized the new season's cooperation plan, and even spared no expense in upping the ante, including the invited contestants and guests, all far exceeding the first season's configuration.

Ring-ring-ring—

Without the pressure of variety show recording, Shen Yao rarely slept a good sleep.

Hearing the phone ring, Shen Yao got up with half-closed eyes, picked up the phone to her ear, "Hello"

However, after a moment, Shen Yao flipped up from the bed in one swift motion, hurriedly tidied herself up, and left the house.

Thanks to the efforts of Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua as a couple, Shen Yao's purchased house was decorated appropriately; currently, after ventilation and manual deodorizing, she has already moved in to reside.

After Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua finished busy with this house, they left Jing Shi; the two turned to travel to other places abroad.

Of course, before leaving, Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua still formally met Jiang Han Zhou once.

Shen Yao and those two interacted overly rationally; even when proposing to date, they put interests first — often such relationships are affected by external factors, but unexpectedly, although their interaction was平淡, they still smoothly met both sets of parents.

The System evaluated Jiang Han Zhou as the most presence-less choice among so many task worlds; even without Jiang Han Zhou, swapping in another Shen Hanzhou or Yu Hanzhou would also be fine.

Shen Yao: ……

"Everyone has their own significance of existence; Jiang Han Zhou gave me great help in my career," even Shen Yao's original setting was to be a novel author, not to enter the film and television circle and actively become capital.

Today's ability to have such great achievements is inseparable from Jiang Han Zhou's encouragement and push.

Although Jiang Han Zhou harbored ill intentions from the start — he valued Shen Yao's ability, thus birthing a money-loving heart and investing energy to cultivate her — the final result was also good; Shen Yao was sufficiently talented and striving, and even luck stood on her side.

At present, the two wield twin swords in unison, standing firm in the entertainment industry by capability; in the circle, they can be said to have no equal.

"Arrived"

Taking a taxi to the company is fast; if there is no traffic jam or crowding the whole way, a round trip is only about twenty minutes or so.

Paid the driver, Shen Yao got out of the car and entered the door, seeing Jiang Han Zhou's secretary standing in the lobby waiting for her.

"Shen Producer"

"Let's go, to the conference room"

This time Shen Yao came to save the situation; Jiang Han Zhou is currently filming his variety show at a local TV station and cannot return to Jing Shi temporarily.

It just so happens Shen Yao is resting at home with time, so she simply ran over to the company to help out.

"Shen Producer, the materials are all here; because they temporarily reneged, the project cannot be pushed forward."

The assistant was also very helpless about this; this time it really was the platform's fault — a confirmed project being delayed for this or that reason is understandable, but there is no precedent for saying they withdraw just because of a bizarre reason.

What do they mean dissatisfied with the project content? This is an adaptation of a once hugely popular major IP; they expended no small amount of effort and heart's blood to obtain the copyright fees; previously it was also the platform that actively contacted them for cooperation; now they say they'll stand them up and just stand them up — what about the livelihoods of so many people? How to handle the investors' losses? The assistant's head is practically about to explode!
