Wilderness Livestream: Other People Struggle to Survive While I Became Famous by Looking After a Cat - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: She Hasn’t Finished Writing
Translator: Zayn_
Song Qingyou’s termination of her contract with Jiayi Media had caused a huge commotion, which indirectly boosted the sales of ‘The Immortal Demon’ book.
However, before the editorial department could celebrate, countless calls came in, all asking if there was still any stock of ‘Gate of the Tower*.
Wen Xia had never expected that the sales of ‘Gate of the Tower’ would surpass ‘The Immortal Demon’ at the same time when its reputation had exploded.
The hashtag #Qing Meng’s new book# was still at the bottom of the trending searches for a few days.
As nearly a million copies of ‘Gate of the Tower’ were printed one after another, Wen Xia transferred a large sum of money to Song Qingyou.
“Teacher Qing Meng, are you going to write books in the future?”
Wen Xia didn’t chase after celebrities, but when she found out that Qing Meng was Song Qingyou, she also paid attention to her news.
After hearing that Song Qingyou had terminated her contract with the company, Wen Xia really wanted her to focus on writing her books.
“I’ll write a new book next year,” Song Qingyou said without answering.
It was already the end of November, so next year it was!
Wen Xia nodded and told Song Qingyou the good news.
“Your novel has already entered the final round of the Newcomer Award. There’s a high chance that it will win. When the time comes, will you personally go over to receive the award, or will our editorial department receive it on your behalf?”
“Sorry for the trouble.”
This meant that she didn’t want to reveal her identity.
Wen Xia felt that it was a pity.
If Song Qingyou could appear herself, wouldn’t the sales of her new novel skyrocket?
With the royalties, Song Qingyou had the initial capital to start a company.
In mid-December, many people saw that Song Qingyou hadn’t signed with a new company and began to spread rumors that she might be forced to leave the industry.
But not long before the rumors spread, Song Qingyou openly posted a recruitment notice on Weibo.
The company name clearly stated: Shengshi Entertainment.
No one in the industry or outside had ever heard of an entertainment company called Shengshifl], so there was only one possibility:
This company was created by Song Qingyou!
For a time, very few people came to participate in the recruitment, and most of them were media reporters who came to see the excitement based on the company address.
And fans who wanted to see Song Qingyou.
Seeing this situation, the entertainment reporters quickly ran a few headlines:
[ No one applied for Shengshi Entertainment, Boss Song Qingyou’s dream was shattered]
[Song Qingyou established Shengshi Entertainment, maybe because there is no company to go to ]
Song Qingyou didn’t mind being ridiculed.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she even changed his verification information to Shengshi Entertainment’s CEO.
The more these reporters paid attention to this matter, the more popular the company became.
She didn’t even need to advertise.
The next day.
#Song Qingyou founded Shengshi Entertainment#
The popularity of the hashtag was still rising when Jiang Xuyan announced that he had officially joined Shengshi.
[ Jiang Xuyan: I’m the first artiste to join. Will the benefits be a little more special?@Song Qingyou @Shengshi Entertainment]
Jiang Xuyan wasn’t extremely famous. Before he participated in Man vs. Wild 3, his contract with his previous company had expired, so he had set up his own studio. His main business was related to music creation.
Now, signing a contract with Song Qingyou was equivalent to putting the entire studio under Shengshi.
There were very few people in the industry who knew how to repay kindness, not to mention betting their future. Therefore, while the netizens praised Jiang Xuyan for his loyalty, many people also said that he was a fool.
A few minutes after he posted on Weibo, Xu Xingzhou replied to his post:
[ Xu Xingzhou: @Jiang Xuyan, Brother Jiang, I’m sorry, I’m the first artist to be signed! ]
Xu Xingzhou joining Shengshi was within everyone’s expectations.
This was because one TV series could not prove how good Xu Xingzhou’s acting skills were. There were definitely not many companies that would offer him an olive branch.
Moreover, Xu Xingzhou was discovered by Song Qingyou from the extras.
Other than the two of them, Xu Mingrui, who was overseas, also posted on Weibo later that he would join Shengshi Entertainment.
With the support of the three people, the media’s claim that no one applied became empty talk.
Late December.
Jiang Xuyan relied on his connections in the industry to get Xu Xingzhou an audition for the male supporting role in a movie.
Xu Xingzhou was very hardworking. After the director saw his audition, he dismissed the people waiting behind him and signed the contract with him immediately.
Chen Lan’s contract had expired. After asking about her salary, she jumped ship to Shengshi and was now Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhou’s manager.
As for Song Qingyou, without the company’s suppression, many jobs came knocking on her door.
Most of them were Xianxia TV series.
The Immortal Demon seemed to have driven the popularity of the Xianxia TV series. For the directors who followed the trend and filmed this kind of drama, the first actor that came to mind was of course Song Qingyou.
However, Song Qingyou flipped through the scripts and decided to reject them all.
Chen Lan was puzzled. “I think there are a few scripts that are not bad. If you continue to be so picky, people will say that you have high standards but low abilities… It’s not your turn to be involved in those big-budget movies and television dramas.”
“The popularity of ‘The Immortal Demon’ is about to die down. If you don’t start filming, who will remember you?”
“None of these scripts will work.” Song Qingyou shook her head.
“Xu Mingrui will be back soon. Our company can produce a drama on our own.”
“Then where are you going to find investors?” Chen Lan questioned.
“Isn’t there the Annual Celebrity Impact Awards in two days?”
Song Qingyou poked the script on the table. “There should be a lot of investors invited.”
“Those investors aren’t fools. You don’t have anything concrete right now. If you say you want them to invest, will they give it to you? Unless you…”
Chen Lan shut up at the right time.
She knew Song Qingyou wouldn’t accept unspoken rules.
“Who says I’m just gonna make empty talk?” Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. I have a new script written by Qing Meng.”
“Really?” Chen Lan’s eyes were filled with surprise. “Where is it? Could it be an adaptation of that science fiction book?”
“I heard that the sci-fi novel has a chance of winning an award! If you can get this script, it might not be a problem for you to get an investor.”
After the sales of “Gate of the Tower” exploded, it was hailed as the “hope for the revival of science fiction” by a well-respected author. Its fame had long since reached beyond the genre, which was why Chen Lan was so confident.
But Song Qingyou didn’t have any plans to shoot a sci-fi film.
“That science fiction novel will most likely be adapted into a movie.”
“The script I’m talking about is another one. Qing Meng hasn’t published it yet.”
“That shouldn’t be a problem.” Chen Lan was not disappointed. Instead, she said excitedly that she wanted to see the script.
How could Song Qingyou give her a script now? Qing Meng hadn’t even started writing!
She coughed lightly. “She hasn’t finished writing yet. She’ll send it to me once she’s done.”
Song Qingyou believed in her octopus-like hand speed, not to mention that the framework of the new book was already in her mind, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to change it into a script.
“She has a very good relationship with you. She booked the script for you before it was even finished.”
Chen Lan didn’t think too much about it and only felt that Song Qingyou was lucky to be friends with such a big boss.
After all, no one could probably imagine that Song Qingyou could write the entire script in a week.
During this period, she had stayed up late many times and fell asleep on her keyboard.. Her cat even suspected that she had a sudden death…
