Chapter 157: The application on the Yujie's office desk!

Already done?

Jiang Cheng shuddered, looking at Su Peng; this kid's words made sense!

Yujie's temper is so huge she can't stand it; isn't it just that the uncooked rice hasn't been cooked into cooked rice yet?

Jiang Cheng felt this wasn't a loss, so he really learned it!

Even Deng Qi found a girlfriend; who can still say this trick is useless?

Just learn this trick—uncooked rice cooked into cooked rice!

"Where do you live now? Are you renting a place outside?"

Su Peng spoke with a slight slur, his face flushed as he asked Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment; he definitely couldn't say he was living with his sister.

So he said: "I'm staying at a friend's place right now."

Su Peng's eyes lit up a bit: "You have friends in Modu? I didn't know that—you're not staying at Ye Qing's place, are you?"

"No."

Jiang Cheng said somewhat hesitantly, because he indeed wasn't living at Ye Qing's place.

But his hesitation, in Su Peng's eyes, was exactly what he had guessed.

"As I thought, I guessed right about you, kid!"

"You're already living together; if you don't hurry up and make a move, the longer you stay together, the more the novelty fades, and it'll become harder to get her later!"

Listening to Su Peng's slurred speech, Jiang Cheng actually felt it made some sense.

His advice is pretty spot-on!

Su Peng raised his wine glass and clinked it with Jiang Cheng's, then continued: "If you really manage to get her, it'll indeed be stable—just thinking about it feels great."

"Eat the big star you've cultivated yourself!"

"It's a nurturing type, bro!"

Su Peng said while reaching out to pat Jiang Cheng's shoulder.

…

Before the dorm lights went out, Su Peng, Liu Tao, Deng's older sister, and those three girls all went back to school.

Jiang Cheng took a taxi himself to Su Peng's older sister's house.

Today Yujie seems to be coming home late; she's probably working overtime at the company.

Jiang Cheng didn't take it to heart.

He also thought it's possible Yujie is still angry.

But at this point he definitely wouldn't press further.

…

The Jin Ge Shou's show completely went viral.

A variety show livestream reached a simultaneous online audience of 500,000.

This is a figure no other variety show has ever achieved!

Moreover, very few dare to turn a variety show into a livestream!

One could say that no variety show featuring major celebrities has ever gone live.

Director Zhang Meng, truly a veteran of variety shows, pioneered a historic breakthrough.

Although it almost crashed, many people also criticized it.

But whether they were critics or fans, everyone felt the show's authenticity.

With these people's discussions, even those who hadn't watched the show developed a strong interest.

It's foreseeable that the show will become even more popular!

Inevitably, some big names in the Entertainment Circle and the capital behind them also began to eye it covetously.

…

The next day, Su Manyao was already in the office early, looking at documents.

She had worked very late the previous night, but she could actually have gone home.

Just thinking that she was angry, Jiang Cheng hadn't come to cheer her up—not even a phone call.

Upon realizing this, she instantly didn't want to go home, so she ended up staying at the company.

Huh?

As she looked at the document, a project proposal caught her attention.

It was a project proposal submitted by a team under Kangwei's side; the main point was that Su Manyao saw the words "Jin Ge Shou" on it.

Isn't that the show Jiang Cheng participated in?

She examined it carefully.

The gist of the content was that the company was preparing to negotiate with the show's director to let the company's signed artists participate as guests.

Su Manyao furrowed her brows.

Seeing this kind of application, she instantly understood what it was about—nothing more than the show having gone hot, arranging for the company's artists to gain exposure.

In fact, artists and shows are in a mutually beneficial relationship.

But this show itself is an amateur talent contest; now that it's hot, capital wants to get a piece, and from a business standpoint there's nothing wrong with that.

Because in this circle it's always been like that: wolves travel a thousand miles to eat meat, dogs travel a thousand miles to eat feces.

Many things are meant to be snatched.

Su Manyao thought it over and signed her name on it.

!

Agreed.

She had no reason to refuse, because that's how the game is played, everyone has always done it this way, and it's always satisfying.

Moreover, the project proposal also stated that it wasn't just Qingman Company participating.

Some big-name studios in the Entertainment Circle have also teamed up, jointly planning to participate.

"Three classics already, with these capitals involved, can he still hold up?"

Su Manyao leaned back in her chair after signing, a pen in hand, drawing circles, her gaze on the ceiling, her mind pondering.

Such a thing isn't something she can just block to give Jiang Cheng an opportunity.

If Qingman Entertainment doesn't participate, other companies will still do the same.

"Why bother thinking for him, I'm still not appeased." Su Manyao suddenly muttered to herself, then sat up straight.

Continue working.

At the same time, in the recording building of the Jin Ge Shou show's venue, the director's office.

At this moment, Zhang Meng slammed her palm hard on the table, looking furious!

"These people are really like dogs, wherever there's milk they'll dig in!"

The Planning Department head, also one of our own, saw Zhang Meng lose her temper.

He comforted, saying: "Actually, letting these big-name stars participate isn't bad at all; at least they themselves bring traffic, which can make the show even more popular."

"What do you know!"

Zhang Meng said angrily: "You can handle planning the show, but truly letting you oversee the whole situation is far off."

"First of all, our show is an amateur talent show, that's the core selling point!"

"If we're talking about big names, aren't we lacking none?"

"The four mentors, which one isn't a senior?!"

The Planning Department head shrank his head a bit, but still said: "Although those four mentors are seniors, compared to traffic, they're not as good as today's traffic stars."

Zhang Meng sneered: "Everyone only knows they want traffic, but they don't consider whether the traffic can be sustained, and what counts as effective traffic!"

"First of all, when I started this show, I never thought about how massive his traffic would be; we just need to grasp the core, and the traffic from those who want to watch an amateur talent show is already enough to be considered successful, and we'll gain a good reputation."

"But now these studios and stars all want to get a piece of the action, and the nature of the show has changed."

"This has already changed from being purely about the matter, not the person, to being about the person!"

"They join the show bringing their own traffic, and that self-brought traffic creates personal feelings involved; unlike these amateurs, the audience only sees the direct impression, without carrying past emotions."

The Planning Department head said meekly: "What's wrong with that?"

"Isn't the cake just getting bigger?"

Zhang Meng leaned back in her chair and said: "What's big about big, behind each of these stars' backs aren't their relationships a tangled mess, and how could their participation in a talent show possibly be pure talent show, it's basically just a show."

"You say, in which one of these will this business be worthwhile?"

"If they really participate, these amateurs in front of them are just cannon fodder, not even scraps left; someone like Jiang Cheng would basically be destroyed here."
