Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity-Chapter 589 - 311 The More You Struggle, the Tighter It Gets_2

Chapter 589: Chapter 311 The More You Struggle, the Tighter It Gets_2 Chapter 589 -311 The More You Struggle, the Tighter It Gets_2 She also got lost in kisses, worrying about becoming increasingly distant from Xu Qingyan due to her busy work schedule.

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan’s mouth twitched, and then he pulled out his own schedule.

“Busy as a plane, and still talking about drifting apart.”

It was the same with Pei Muchan; they saw each other more often than she saw Lin Wanzhou.

But it was mostly chatting, and there was seldom any deeper contact.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, nor was it that their feelings had faded; they were just dog-tired.

Pei Muchan pondered over her album every day and had to deal with studio affairs.

Her already hectic day became even more packed with only enough time to talk about new songs.

...

Usually, it was Pei Muchan talking, with Xu Qingyan holding her, lying on her thighs and falling asleep.

The setting sun bled like blood, and they often just sat there in silence.

Meeting for a hug, or chatting, eating a meal together, draping over her jade legs—all became a rare form of relaxation.

When too exhausted, they’d recharge together before going back to work.

As for Shen Jinyue, she had already gone back to school.

After that night, Xu Qingyan didn’t continue to do anything inappropriate with her, mainly because it would affect his work, and indulging in sensual pleasures when his future was unclear would be putting the cart before the horse.

Love may not always be reliable, but it certainly isn’t as effective as a career.

Regardless of gender, success in one’s career is a potent remedy and the right prescription for solving problems.

Xu Qingyan didn’t dare imagine pushing Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou to achieve the status of divas while he became the uncrowned king of music arrangers.

That vision…

was just too foolish.

He wanted greater achievements, to create an empire in film and television.

In the film industry where mediocre films were rampant, someone had to make money—why not him?

…..

“Love Hunter 3” concluded successfully, differing from the chaos of the first season and the mediocrity of the second, “Love Hunter” season three utilized a cast of online celebrities and lesser-known actors.

Handsome men and pretty women, along with glamorous professions, naturally became a highlight.

Among these, former idol Zhang Langshui became an overnight sensation with his straightforward personality on the show.

Netizens jokingly called him “Teacher Xu 2.0,” the dark horse male lead of the entertainment industry.

Because of this, he even landed on a moderate trending search, clearly paid for.

In response, Xu Qingyan’s fans showed no reaction whatsoever.

If the main person involved didn’t care, the fans were equally indifferent.

Langshui Studio, however, was not content.

The agent, being part of a temporary team, planned to stir up more public interest in Zhang Langshui and continue to mooch off Xu Qingyan’s fame.

The reason they chose Xu Qingyan was first that “Love Hunter 3” was completely targeted as a successor to the first season.

Aside from Zhang Langshui, the show even invited two female singers.

Unfortunately, while the show was popular, it never quite matched the first season’s reviews.

This also was a fact; no matter how much the production team utilized their connections, they could not recreate the cast of the first season; where could they find two divas to support the show’s impact.

Secondly, Xu Qingyan recently had two new sitcoms released, both of which were quite popular.

In a dim private room, a few people were discussing business over tall glasses of wine.

One of the handsome young men frowned, “Can we really do this?

I’m not worried about clashing with others, but I always feel a chill up my spine when it comes to Xu Qingyan.”

“Ha, don’t worry, I’ve made inquiries,” said the agent, a refined middle-aged man in his thirties with a ponytail.

“What?”

“Xu Qingyan is busy filming a new series right now, focusing all his efforts on promoting it.

He doesn’t have time to pay attention to us,” the agent said with a laugh, “Just buy a trending search spot and it’ll be fine.”

“But what if…” Zhang Langshui knew a little about Xu Qingyan, having specifically looked up his news, some of which had already been taken down, but traces still remained.

“Brother Zhang, what if what?” the agent’s assistant asked.

“I’m worried about getting messed with.

There’s really no need to provoke a live king of hell like Xu Qingyan,” said Zhang Langshui seriously, “Let’s find someone else.

I just don’t feel secure about this.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?

What risks could there be?

Don’t forget how we made our name,” the agent retorted with a snort, “Even a fish out of water smells, are you trying to whitewash yourself?”

“Xu Qingyan relies on seven or eight songs a month, someone backing him, and a top female singer releasing songs for him.

Look into your heart, what do we have in comparison?”

“If we don’t use trending searches to stay relevant, I’m afraid we won’t even make back the money we’ve invested,” the agent continued.

Hearing this, Zhang Langshui hesitated.

He had nothing but a face.

After the variety show, if he didn’t rely on trending searches and clashing with others to maintain public interest, it would be nearly impossible to land another variety gig.

There weren’t many options before him, either become a variety show regular or turn into an internet celebrity.

The choice between the two wasn’t really a suspenseful one.

“Alright,” Zhang Langshui sighed.

Three to four days later.

“Love Apartment 1,” riding on the goodwill of the previous two sitcoms from Sky Light Film and Television, sold its TV rights for seven hundred thousand per episode at one point.

It was finally decided to premiere on Yuxi Satellite TV’s prime time eight o’clock slot, while also selling the online rights in advance to three platforms, turning a few million in costs into a profit of thirty million.

Together with “Home with Kids” being sold, the total profit exceeded seventy million.

In other words, Xu Qingyan had created nearly one small target’s worth of profit in four months with three sitcoms, and this was just the beginning.

This was also thanks to the era of rights and the bonuses of an advanced online era.

The suitability of sitcoms as accompanyment to meals resulted in their strong broadcast rates.

After wrapping up everything, Xu Qingyan finally took a sigh of relief.

The startup funds for the film were secured, not quite reaching one small target of profit capital.

After paying off debts and various expenses, and setting aside the company’s operational funds,

the remaining funds in Xu Qingyan’s hands totaled about twenty million, which had already been set aside as filming capital.

This money belonged to him personally.

From the several million after Spring Festival to a net income of twenty million now, it only took him seven months.

In addition, he had a film company and the startup funds for the next project.

This rate of making money from filming was outrageous no matter where you put it.

Xu Qingyan, who had just become free, took a full week of rest before recovering, sleeping until he woke up naturally each day.

Waking up every day feeling bewildered, was it really over?

The feeling of having money felt somewhat unreal, the sensation of millions flowing into an account…

although not into his own account, his personal net income was also close to twenty million.

This sum was his alone, including the investment profits subtracted from the capital for the company’s next operations, plus song royalties, as well as the dividends from earlier on with Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou.

The first time making money, he initially had no concept of it.

Not until he realized he had earned the total of several years of income for Lin Wanzhou and Pei Muchan did he grasp how much he had earned.

Initially, the investors in Sky Light Film and Television were split into thirds, but as business expanded, if Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou wanted to maintain their shares, they would have to put in money.

For safety’s sake, the three of them didn’t do that, instead opting for a change in the shareholding ratio.

Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou had no objections to this.

After all, the premise of making a profit always involved putting in money, and once it was tied up, it would be hard to get out.

Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou initially invested money just to help Xu Qingyan start the company and join in on the action, not expecting to make a fortune.

Their income was substantial too, investing money to build their own studios yielded rich returns.

As Sky Light Film and Television exploded onto the scene, playing both big and small trump cards, a series of covert operations involving cross-shareholding in subsidiaries also took place.

Xu Qingyan, Lin Wanzhou, and Pei Muchan respectively held shares in each other’s companies and studios.

One advantage of doing so was to create a community of shared destiny, with a triangle being the most stable shape.

Another advantage was to prevent hostile takeovers, in case the company expanded significantly in the future.

In the event of a hostile takeover, the mutual shareholders could initiate a buyout, competing with the hostile buyers, thus lowering risks and forming a bond of common interest.

A blurred alliance between film, television, and music was formed, reducing the pressure of internal dividends and increasing the scale of retained company funds, facilitating internal capital accommodation.

In other words, from that moment, the three became true partners.

Not bound by relationships but through alliances between contractual enterprises.

It was a shared community of interests in the true sense.

In doing so, Xu Qingyan could also conceal some of his real intentions, thereby naturally tying Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou to the bed…

no, to the warship.

Emotions fluctuate, but what about life, career, future?

Decided to completely break it off?

That would be impossible.

Bone may break, but tendon remains connected.

The harder the three work in their careers, the endpoint of their journey is deep binding, becoming tighter and more inseparable as they go on.

Xinghai, Mu Chan Studio.

Pei Muchan looked at Xu Qingyan with a puzzled face, silently shifted her gaze away, but couldn’t help looking again.

“Since this morning, you’ve been laughing non-stop.

What’s so funny?”
