Protagonist:

Shen Yao

After circling around, she still ended up establishing a cooperative relationship with Shen Yao.

But this was also what Hongshi Network sought after all; previously, after cutting ties with Shen Yao, they had lost everything, and now they didn't seek huge profits, just not to lose money, so they could stabilize the newly opened projects of the company.

Shen Yao turned her head and received the project introduction provided by Hongshi Network.

Without exception, they were all excellent novel IPs of Hongshi Network.

The previous variety show "Actor Starlight Road" had made many contestants famous, and not a few had already acted in various roles; even the potential new stars who had shone brilliantly in "Actor Starlight Road" had their new dramas released.

Although they didn't become hugely popular as imagined, a small explosion could still be achieved.

Moreover, these people brought their own traffic and popularity, with hot search terms on the internet constantly appearing, successfully attracting many gazes.

Even though insiders knew the situation, these people could make money, and fans were willing to spend money without hesitation; it was said that the second season of "Actor Starlight Road" was almost ready, and this time the contestants who came to participate were far better in quality than those of the first season, with various investors, title sponsors, and advertisers scrambling to spend money to promote their own brands, and the big shots all had absolute confidence and expectations for this variety show.

Shen Yao thought of this variety show because the director had contacted her.

If nothing unexpected happened, during the variety show recording period she would follow the group, and even in the contestant selection stage, the responsible director team would take her opinion into consideration.

After all, the situation of the first season was still fresh in mind, and the director didn't want any mishaps in the variety show; this was the golden chicken that could lay eggs for their Blueberry TV, and it had to be firmly grasped.

Rustle rustle—

The paper in her hand made a rustling sound; in Shen Yao's view, the content inside was not bad, but it was too fantastical, and if really filmed, it wouldn't satisfy the audience.

After all, the audience of novels was just book friends, while the audience of film and television dramas was the entire platform.

Taking out her phone to make a call to the person opposite, Shen Yao seriously expressed her concerns, "……We still need to reselect a few works that won't step on landmines.

We need to consider background issues and censorship issues, especially the state's restrictions and concerns in this regard."

Things like rebirth or transmigration can easily affect people with immature minds, thereby causing very serious social problems.

If adjusted, the underlying logic of the entire novel would have problems, after all, involving transmigration or rebirth would open a certain perspective of foreknowledge; without this setting, some plotlines would seem fantastical and unconvincing.

Shen Yao naturally knew Hongshi Network's plan; these novel IPs were very popular, with a very good book friend base and popularity; as long as the news was released, they could get on the hot search without spending money, not to mention achieving the effect of free publicity.

Not only Hongshi Network did this, but other film and television companies also liked to do it this way.

Anyway, the story content would all involve adaptation; if it were exactly the same, it wouldn't reflect the screenwriter's ability.

"We can select some novels with simple stories, fast pacing, or down-to-earth themes.

Filming still needs to consider audience emotions; otherwise, relying only on these illusory traffic, in the end, it still won't be able to support the broadcast of the entire drama."

That way they wouldn't earn much money; Shen Yao wanted to make works with reputation, and making quick money was not suitable for her.

Hongshi Network naturally didn't want to listen to Shen Yao, but they were more willing to make money.

In the end, Hongshi Network deleted and cut here and there; under the condition of the huge novel IP conditions, they selected a few novels that met Shen Yao's requirements.

Among them were campus youth dramas, modern idol dramas, ancient sweet pampering dramas; without exception, they were all novels that were light-hearted, humorous, and somewhat jocular.

Shen Yao roughly browsed the original content above and knew that such novels, unless heavily modified, would not change their core.

That was very good; it greatly restricted those screenwriters who had no ability or skill but liked to meddle; Shen Yao sent the project to her own assistant to be fully responsible, and she turned her head to focus on Zhou You's contract dispute that was slowly calming down.

The system jumped out, "Host, this person Zhou You is very good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Knowing that Jiang Han Zhou wouldn't tear his face openly with him, so even if he had to pay breach of contract compensation, he would actively tear up the previously confirmed cooperation matters.

Knowing that these investment companies of Chunhua were not easy to provoke, he accepted all the agreement content without saying a word.

"The kind are bullied, the good horse is ridden." The system felt the host was suffering, nagging to let the host take revenge, and give this person a good lesson.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao didn't expect that she hadn't said anything yet, but the system had already stood up for her.

Let the system calm down temporarily; she really didn't have the idea to take revenge immediately, "Zhou You is still a hot stove right now; the box office of the released 'Speed Forward' is nearly three billion; this is a real achievement."

You must know that for a normal commercial movie, passing one billion is profitable; it's extremely rare for someone like Zhou You to overperform; at least with the current degree of decline in the movie market, it would be very difficult to produce another one.

Otherwise, why would so many capitalists be willing to spend a lot of money to dig Zhou Over to film? They didn't seek every film to be 'Speed Forward,' but as long as it could reach half the quality of 'Speed Forward,' and then rely on the crazy bombing of online marketing, they could make money.

Zhou You's cooperation binding with these people was much more intimate than Jiang Han Zhou's.

Did they really think these capitalists' money was easy to get? If they didn't squeeze Zhou You's abilities dry, they wouldn't stop.

"Sometimes we don't need to take action to achieve the goal; however, the black material originally existing in the crew can be released appropriately at the right time," just regarded as a little warning to the other party; the big shots, well water doesn't offend river water, each earning their own money in the circle.

The black material Shen Yao spoke of didn't completely count as black material; at least in the eyes of those amusement-seekers on the internet, these were all harmless things.

It was those black fans of actors and stars who wanted to pin this pot on their heads, desperately fighting with fans, and at the same time dragging Zhou You into the water.

When Zhou You heard the news, he was building his new drama's crew; after all, he still had debts on his back, and it was impossible not to film movies to make money.

The responsible assistant handed the phone to Zhou You; Zhou You was so angry that he slapped his palm hard, "I don't know, where did this spread from?"

Moreover, even if there was really a bit of taking advantage, it was also an unwritten rule tacitly accepted by the crew; he hadn't done anything too excessive.

"Director Zhou, these are all anonymous leaks; they should be staff from the previous crew." Because the leaked things were not many but conformed to logic, it must be someone who knew the inside story to say so many things.

But this person definitely didn't know much; incomplete information caused the words to be said without proper standard; if it weren't involving the fans of actors and stars, it wouldn't be able to cause a disturbance at all.

"This matter doesn't need to be managed; in not too long, no one will discuss it anymore."

This wasn't the personal gossip of actors and stars; the crew had always been like this; even some famous actors and stars personally leaked more inside stories and secrets; in the end, the conclusion drawn was that the entertainment industry was deep and complex and hard to mix in; so what? People who harbored star dreams rushed in batch after batch; did the big shots really care?

Zhou You didn't care either; he waved his hand to let the assistant not pay attention to these things; the most important thing right now was the preparation problem of the new crew.

As for the casting inside? Zhou You didn't need to say more? Just releasing some news, and countless actors and stars would be willing to lower their pay to act in his movies.

"Rebirth" and "Speed Forward" had brought him both reputation and box office double harvest; he walked too fast; other directors in the circle were jealous, but capital favored him; in a short time, he definitely wouldn't capsize.

"You also said it's within a short time; Zhou You unless he can keep filming, and every one is above the passing line;" otherwise he would face the situation of being besieged and strangled.

Shen Yao knocked on the tabletop; Jiang Han Zhou didn't know where he dug up a new director again, planning to continue his movie filming plan.

However, Jiang Han Zhou learned his lesson this time (in reality, the current overseas award selections are entangled with politics, a world apart from the environment of the previous two years), and does not plan to help go abroad for gilding; instead, he intends to build up reputation domestically first, relying on the capability of his works to push the director's reputation in reverse.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao stretched out her hand, took the documents from Jiang Han Zhou's hand, and began browsing through them.

Mhm

Good news, this plan is indeed not bad; as long as it can be carried out steadily, the new director's future is promising.

Bad news, afraid it's another Zhou You; who dares to gamble on human nature at a time like this!

"No blocking, we'll sign a contract in black and white," Jiang Han Zhou rubbed his slightly throbbing forehead, indicating the new director is just starting out; even with Zhou You's ambition, he couldn't jump up.

Of course, it should be a temporary matter.

Shen Yao couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking to herself that if someone really forcibly breached the contract, even black and white writing couldn't save them.

However, Jiang Han Zhou's ability to nurture people should spread in the circle; those directors who are either unrecognized talents, already past their prime, or just starting out, will certainly regard Jiang Han Zhou as a Golden Thigh.

"Otherwise, let's specially sign a few directors," anyway, it's not like they haven't signed actors before; looking at it now, it's quite proper too.

Not to mention becoming hugely famous, wherever they go they're traffic-packed; but because they don't lack dramas to film and their acting stays above the passing grade, they indeed don't lack resources and projects.

"This proposal is good, but the selection of directors is more complex than actors," Jiang Han Zhou raised an eyebrow, speaking of the new director he personally selected, "it also took a lot of thought"; right now he has no intention to continue picking, after all, if a director blows up, it's far more serious than an actor.

The two's idle talk came to a pause here; they began to focus on their respective careers.

Shen Yao started her workday of running everywhere again; Season 2 of "Actor Starlight Road" needs her, the project cooperating with Hongshi Network needs her, her own company's projects still need her.

One person wishes she could split into several halves to be busy; fortunately Jiang Han Zhou's side has nothing going on, otherwise another drag-down would truly be fatal.

Busy and bustling, in a blink half a year passed again.

Shen Yao grew thin from exhaustion, especially the fatigue visible to the naked eye on her face, but a pair of eyes remained clear and bright; one can see that although her body is extraordinarily weary, the gains are solid and real, making one feel refreshed.

"Not bad, these projects have all landed steadily; next is post-production operation and promotion," Shen Yao casually pulled out several versions of plans, all content done before; taking them out now for direct use poses no problem.

"Can refer to these plans; remember, must fit the entire plot and character settings, don't do things that are harmful without benefit; additionally, Hongshi Network's side must also be notified; this time just cooperate with each other."

Although Hongshi Network's investment is only about half, the novel IP value provided by Hongshi Network is huge; the current few projects passing smoothly is just the opportunity for both sides to start the next batch of cooperation.

This, wouldn't it be a bit too fast?

Hongshi Network's Leader hesitated somewhat, because they haven't seen results yet.

Filming is finished, but content hasn't gone online yet, the vast audience hasn't reviewed it; what if it fizzles out, what then?

Hongshi Network isn't worried these projects will fall through; they're afraid of ruining another batch of novel IPs, and the ones losing out would only be themselves.

After all, selling novel IPs brings considerable copyright fees, but using them themselves means packing at cost price; Hongshi Network is rich and powerful and doesn't lack this bit of money, but losing losing losing like this continuously damages Hongshi Network's reputation.

When the time comes, if other film and television companies don't buy their Hongshi Network novel IPs, what then? This is their Hongshi Network's main income source.

"Not fast; this kind of thing has always been starting new projects after projects end; otherwise a gap appears in between, which would affect the push of film and television."

Because promotion is one wave after another, until this drama finishes airing, then lift the next one; the platform gives projects with good data more resources, just like Shen Yao's two previous adapted novels, whether in price or broadcast time, both can be called the best.

This is the reputation Shen Yao broke out with through strength; Hongshi Network just entered the circle and stumbled, causing its positioning consciousness to be unclear; just facing Hongshi Network's so many novel IPs, platforms and videos will sell Hongshi Network face, purely to owe each other a favor.

Under Shen Yao's verbal prowess, no one can escape cooperation.

Hongshi Network's Leader finally nodded; not long after turning back, sent Shen Yao several novel IPs that can be called excellent.

'Truly Big Family and Great Business; Hongshi Network raised so many novel writers, the IP heritage of all categories isn't something ordinary small websites can Bengci.'

Although Hongshi Network doesn't count as domestic no. 1, it can still easily rank in the top few.

See, flipping through the novel summaries in hand, Shen Yao propped her chin and nodded, 'With Hongshi Network continuously providing novel IPs, the company temporarily doesn't lack projects,' as long as the filming team's level is up to par and the invited star actors aren't some thunder-carrying playboys, they can rely on the Fine Water Long Flow ability to continuously make money.

A phone call summoned the assistant who just got promoted and a raise; Shen Yao swiftly and decisively arranged the work down; with the empty room leaving only herself, she leaned back in the office chair and let out a breath.

Phew~

The taste of being busy truly makes one love and hate it!
