Chapter 323: Urban Card Drawing System (29)
Once the personnel were selected, filming began.
The content Xie Yang planned was both novel and rich—
The interspersed games were carefully selected from billions of games she had encountered in the worlds she had previously transmigrated through, crushing the stale, worn-out games of other variety shows.
The filming locations were also places other programs had never set foot in, showcasing both natural landscapes and cultural heritage.
And so, as soon as the trailer for the second season was released, it was sent to the trending topics.
In the past, it was always the stars who made a new show popular, but this show did the opposite:
Every season's guests, apart from a few who were already somewhat famous, were all newcomers, yet they left the entire internet audience clamoring for more, urging them to broadcast faster in the official website's comment section every day.
They even said, why wait until everything is recorded and edited to broadcast? Wouldn't it be better to broadcast one episode as soon as it's filmed? Or even do a live stream!
Some even urged them to start filming the third season, telling them not to wait until the second season finished airing to start recording, otherwise they'd have to wait again...
In short, "I'm Searching for Treasure in Variety Shows" became a complete hit!
Galaxy Entertainment was completely revitalized by this favorable wind!
Its artists ushered in their own spring: everyone had gigs to run, and they weren't picky about whether they were popular or obscure.
In any case, the boss was fair and handled things justly; if someone was given a low-traffic gig this time, they would definitely be compensated with a high-traffic one next time.
Therefore, no matter what work was arranged for them, they were very proactive.
The signed artists of Galaxy Entertainment not only lacked the infighting of other companies, but were actually very united.
The entire company was filled with joy.
Xie Yang sat in her office, browsing the online trends, and received a call from Comrade Lao Xie:
"Daughter, didn't you say last time you wanted to go to Hulunbuir for a trip? Are you still going? If you don't go soon, it'll start snowing."
In fact, it was already snowing.
But having heard from an old friend that the winter scenery of Hulunbuir was also worth seeing, Xie Yang's father asked this.
It was also his fault; he had been too busy toward the end of the year. After finally finishing the work at hand and freeing up a few days of vacation to take his daughter out to relax, he discovered that his daughter was even more dedicated than him—she spent eight out of ten days at the company, and the remaining two days at the recording site.
Recalling how his business partners took turns praising him at dinner for having a "tiger father with no dog daughter," Xie Yang's father twitched his mouth: she really did have a bit of the drive he had in his youth.
Receiving the caring call from her old father, Xie Yang realized how fast time flew; in a blink, another month had passed, and it would be New Year's in just a few days.
In the original world, the incident where she went to the gambling city to vent her frustration under Feng Xuanxuan's instigation and ended up losing eighty million happened during the New Year period.
Fortunately, she wasn't short on money now.
Not only was she not short on money, she had even bought the entertainment company that Feng Xuanxuan was signed to.
Feng Xuanxuan became an artist under her, and her daily schedule was packed full; how could she have any time to scheme against her?
Therefore, this calamity was corrected by her without any effort.
As for whether Feng Xuanxuan would seize on this to accuse the company of exploiting her? Someone would have to believe her first!
As long as they are artists, who would complain about having too many gigs?
As for the gigs being too obscure, or the scripts being for bit parts, that couldn't be blamed on the company either.
Setting aside her identity as the little princess of the Feng family, in the entertainment industry, she was indeed a newcomer, and newcomers naturally start from the bottom.
Whether she could stand out or be chosen by a director to be given a heavyweight role depended on her own ability.
Xie Yang wouldn't go so far as to deliberately sabotage or freeze her out.
If employees are capable and earn more, the company earns more.
Feng Xuanxuan had probably figured this out too, and had been quite well-behaved recently.
Actually, it wasn't that she had figured it out, but that she had tested Fu Lao Ye Zi's stance and learned that he held the entertainment industry in great contempt, even viewing those household-name stars as low-class actors.
She had originally wanted to use her own company to hype up a persona of a rich heiress entering the industry for fun, who would have to go back to inherit the family business if she didn't become famous, but now, how could she dare?
If her grandfather discovered she was messing around in the entertainment industry, he might even kick her out of the house and strike her from the family genealogy.
Thinking of this, she regretted it to death! If she had known, she shouldn't have signed this damn ten-year contract.
But terminating the contract required paying a high penalty, and she couldn't come up with that much money right now, so she could only take it one step at a time.
At this moment, she was actually glad that the company only arranged the most obscure gigs and the trashiest web dramas for her; if she actually became famous, she would be even more worried.
Regardless of the reason, as long as Feng Xuanxuan didn't stir up trouble, Xie Yang couldn't be bothered to deal with her.
She was more concerned now with whether she could draw a useful card to help Uncle Song avoid this calamity.
Having agreed on the departure date with her dad, she hung up the phone, went to the lounge to wash her hands, and prepared to draw cards.
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Bad Luck Strikes.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Photographic Memory.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Good Fortune.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Strongest Ear.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Strongest Eye.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Low-level Body Refining Technique.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Low-level Mending Technique.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Low-level Beauty Potion.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Santa Claus's Sock.】
【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Low-level Mental Power Potion.】
The ten-draw really did yield the Fortune Card she wanted!
Xie Yang smiled with satisfaction.
She looked at 【Good Fortune】 first: After the designated target uses this card, they will be shrouded in auspicious clouds, ward off disasters, and be full of good fortune for thirty consecutive days.
Without much thought, she designated the target—Song Bokang—and clicked to use it.
From this day on, for thirty days, even if Uncle Song encountered tricky trouble, he would surely turn danger into safety, overcome difficulties, and have everything go smoothly.
After finishing this matter, the heavy stone in Xie Yang's heart fell to the ground, and only then did she have the leisure to check the other nine cards:
【Bad Luck Strikes】: It is of no use right now. If she had drawn it when she first transmigrated, she definitely would have used it on Feng Xuanxuan.
Now that Feng Xuanxuan is an artist under her, wouldn't causing her to have bad luck indirectly harm the company?
Better to put it away.
【Photographic Memory】: This is good!
Although she has graduated from university, sitting in charge of the company, she really needs to use this skill sometimes.
Xie Yang immediately used it on herself.
After the card atomized, she picked up her phone, randomly searched for an obscure and difficult-to-digest piece of classical Chinese, and discovered that sentences that previously required time to memorize were now all imprinted in her brain after a single glance.
This skill is awesome!
If she were still in middle or high school, she would have to charge toward being the liberal arts top scholar to make the ancestors of the Xie Family proud!
【Strongest Ear】: After use, one can hear people's inner thoughts, limited to three times.
【Strongest Eye】: After use, one can see through the surface of objects to clearly see the internal situation, limited to three times.
Both of these have usage limits, so it is better not to waste them and save them for critical moments.
【Low-level Body Refining Technique】: After use, one can strengthen skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, with physical fitness reaching the optimal physical level.
Does this sound like one could become invulnerable to blades and spears?
