This man knows how to hype

Chapter 148 New Project

"Does winter come so early in the capital?" Xu Xiyu sighed as he looked at the snowflakes falling outside by the window.

"It's time to snow." Ke Xinying's voice came.

At this time, a month has passed since Xu Xiyu and Lu Qinyao officially announced their breakup.

Yes, a month has passed.

A lot has happened this month.

The first thing is that all the guests of "Love Study Tour" have left.

That day, after everyone got divorced, the topic #愛遊學不毒# directly became the number one hot search topic.

The things between Zhao Yuchen and Wu Shiyi were really diluted a lot. But Wu Shiyi had a trick up her sleeve. She showed the surveillance pictures that she secretly installed in her home.

The censored pictures of Zhao Yuchen having secret meetings with five different women at home instantly stole all the attention about the divorce and breakup.

Zhao Yuchen has really collapsed and can’t collapse any more.

Zhao Mengwen was also implicated because his ex-wife had been jumping up and down for a long time. [The Zhao family has a tradition of domestic violence] Anyway, it has almost become a consensus among netizens that she was the one who did it.

The incident lasted for nearly a week before the heat died down.

Today, I heard that Wu Shiyi and Zhao Yuchen’s divorce lawsuit is over.

"Love's Study Tour" has also started recording the follow-up content. Judging from the leaked content, it's really dramatic.

Even the program introduction was changed.

It used to be: Three loving couples and two newly-minted couples embarked on an 18-day family relationship study journey, earning credits through the practice of love to help their intimate relationships.

Now: Three divorced couples and two couples who broke up embark on a nine-day self-analysis, sharing their own experiences, exploring the problems in their relationships and helping the audience maintain their intimate relationships.

The above is the first thing.

The second thing is that after a month of development, Xu Xiyu's studio has become fully staffed.

Now in addition to administration, finance and personnel.

In terms of business, we have a marketing project team and three artist teams.

Of these three artist teams, one is for Xu Xiyu, one is for Yu Yuyu, and the other is a backup, ready to wait for new artists to come.

Of course, not only is the studio well-staffed, but Xu Xiyu’s wallet is also fuller.

This month, he accepted eight endorsements with a total endorsement fee of 8 million yuan. In addition, he ran 2463 large and small announcements, sometimes running to three places a day. With these announcements, he earned more than 41 million yuan.

In addition, he made the official versions of the seven songs he sang in the live broadcast room and released them on major platforms, and he also earned some other miscellaneous income.

Xu Xiyu now has more than 45 million yuan in pre-tax funds. Once you become famous, you can make money so quickly. This is because Xu Xiyu is picky. If he doesn't pick, he will make more.

Of course, he could earn so much in the first month, but not in the second month. After all, it is impossible for him to take 8 endorsements every month.

As for Lv Qinyao, she earns about the same as Xu Xiyu. The only songs Xu Xiyu has posted online now are "Xiaochou" and "One Meat and One Vegetable".

She has a female version. Not only that, Xu Xiyu also wrote a song "Reluctant" for her. It's the same song "Reluctant" by Xian Zi.

Wow, combined with the two people’s experience of being “forced to break up”, the song “Reluctant to Let Go” became an instant hit.

But after the song became popular, Xu Xiyu told Lu Qinyao that she should not sing this song or talk about their relationship anymore, whether in commercial performances or on music variety shows.

Because if you sing this kind of thing too much, it will have the opposite effect.

By the same token, talking too much about the relationship between two people will have the opposite effect.

Lu Qinyao naturally believed in Xu Xiyu's decision, so she did as he said.

It turns out that Xu Xiyu was right, because the counterexample was right in front of us.

Bu Zhaojie has been on quite a few shows this month, and every time he does, he talks about him and Jiang Yue, which has made the audience a little annoyed with him.

The same is true for Li Fangyuan. She doesn't speak on TV shows because not many shows invite her. After all, her fame is not as good as Bu Zhaojie's.

So, she has been actively talking about it in interviews or on the Internet, which makes everyone even more annoyed.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Xiyu later found out that it was Li Fangyuan who proposed the breakup. On the one hand, she proposed the breakup to gain popularity, and on the other hand, she wanted to put pressure on Jiang Ziqi.

The result...

Let me put it this way, Jiang Ziqi and Yu Yuyu are together every day now, and they are having so much fun.

I heard that during the recording of the show, Li Fangyuan had already started asking for a reconciliation. I don’t know if Jiang Ziqi is still willing to pay attention to her.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said to Ke Xinying: "Should we start dating? We are running out of time, right?"

"I thought you had forgotten about this." Ke Xinying said unhappily.

For a month, a whole month, I couldn't even see the shadow of Xu Xiyu. If I hadn't gone to his house today to block him, I probably wouldn't have seen him.

"Then tell me, how do we talk about it?" Xu Xiyu didn't feel any shame. Wouldn't he be an idiot if he didn't make money from the traffic?

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted me to meet you when I was in the most difficult time? Now the whole world knows that I might lose a lot of money by investing in "The Rise of the Ming Dynasty" because of Zhao Mengwen's influence.

I have reached a difficult atmosphere, and now what I lack is some time to spend together in public, so we have to find an opportunity to spend time together in public now." Ke Xinying said.

"Do you have any ideas? How can we get along openly?" Xu Xiyu actually didn't have any good ideas in his mind.

The main reason is that he was very busy this month, so busy that he didn't have the slightest energy to think about other things. This is not an exaggeration, and people who have worked non-stop should have this experience.

"Let's film a TV series together and play a couple. It's reasonable for us to fall in love during the filming!" Ke Xinying thought about it for a long time.

"But the problem is that I can't act. Maybe I can play a small supporting role, but you usually play the leading female role, and I can't play the leading male role. We can't act together." Xu Xiyu spread his hands helplessly.

"Why can't you play the leading male role? You look like the leading male role. No, you don't think those popular young actors can act, do you?" Ke Xinying asked back. "Uh..." Xu Xiyu was speechless. What Teacher Ke said made a lot of sense.

"Besides, I'll bring you an acting teacher to teach you and let you perform each part. It'll be no problem. Trust me."

“Forget it. I’ve been annoyed by traffic stars with poor acting skills many times before, but I’m not interested in annoying other people.” Xu Xiyu shook his head.

"No, I think you are much more talented than those popular artists. If they can do it, why can't you? Don't refuse. Really, I saw a very suitable script."

"What script? What's it about?"

"Do you usually read online novels?" Ke Xinying did not directly tell the plot, but asked a question.

"Look, I'm writing it myself." Xu Xiyu laughed when he heard that. Of course, he had never written an online novel before. He said this to pave the way for writing his own stories in the future.

"Then you must know about time travel."

"No, you want to shoot a time-travel drama?!" Xu Xiyu suddenly understood what she meant.

What's going on? Are they going to make a "Joy of Life"? It's not impossible. Apart from the fame of the original work, this drama is also a very high-quality web drama.

The characters are outstanding and the plot is interesting.

Moreover, the user portrait of "Joy of Life 1" shows that male users account for 56.83% of all users. In other words, nearly half of the audience are female, and it is unlikely that female audiences have read the original novel of "Joy of Life".

While Xu Xiyu was thinking about who he could play in "Celebrating Yu Nian", Ke Xinying continued, "This drama is about a girl who traveled through time and space to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty..."

"Wait, a girl traveled back in time to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes, have you heard of the Nine Sons Fighting for the Crown Prince?"

"..." Xu Xiyu was speechless. He thought Ke Xinying was talking about "Joy of Life", but it turned out she was talking about "The Offering of Love" or "Startling by Each Step"?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not interested."

"I haven't even started talking yet, why are you not interested? Maybe you will be interested after you listen to me."

"Wait a minute, let's not talk about whether I'm interested or not. Something is wrong. Can you decide the actors for this play just because you want? Even if I'm interested, it's useless."

"I secretly invested 30% in this drama in the name of Beili Culture. I am the major investor. Do you think I can decide?"

“What about the remaining 70%?”

"It's not settled yet."

"..." Xu Xiyu's breathing stagnated, "How do you know that you invested 30% if you don't have any clues?"

"You haven't made a budget. If you calculate the budget, I will invest 30%. By the way, you made so much money this month, will you invest some?"

"I won't vote for this script. Wearing costumes from the Qing Palace is too outdated. I'm afraid it will flop." Xu Xiyu shook his head like a rattle.

"How can it be outdated? This script is great, how come you don't understand it at all?" Ke Xinying said somewhat dissatisfiedly. She really took a long time to choose.

"I have a better one. Do you want to invest? Invest secretly." Xu Xiyu said. Ke Xinying's current investment should not be made public. After all, it is said to the outside world that all her assets are in "The Coming of the Apocalypse".

"What better story?" Ke Xinying expressed doubt.

"I'm talking about movies, I don't make TV series." Xu Xiyu didn't say it directly, but emphasized that he really wouldn't make a TV series. After all, with Huaqing as his backer, it would be a bit of a waste to make a TV series.

"Movies? Do you have that much money to make a movie?"

“It’s a low cost.”

"How small?"

"Fifty or sixty million, or seventy or eighty million?"

"I play the female lead?"

"Yes, you play the female lead."

"My salary is 30 million, are you sure 70 or 80 million is enough?"

"We will definitely get dividends from the movies we invested in. What's the point of talking about pay or no pay? Besides, our relationship... you're saying that, right?"

"What is our relationship?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Oh no, you call me by my full name when nothing happens, and you don't even want to call me Xinying. But when something happens, you call me your girlfriend?"

"It's not important, don't worry about it..."

"It's important. You have to respect me. Respect me as your girlfriend. Do you know that?"

"Okay, I get it. I won't do it again next time." Xu Xiyu opened his mouth and agreed.

"Then tell me your story."

"Have you heard of Beibei?"

"I've heard of it. There's been a lot of news about it lately, saying that it's a scam."

"Yes, let's shoot this!" Xu Xiyu discovered that the fraud case of Yanbei had developed on Blue Star like on Earth.

So, he decided to make "All or Nothing".

This movie is not actually that great, but now is the right time to make it.

Just imagine what the scene would be like if Ke Xinying dealt cards online.

Moreover, Xu Xiyu felt that he had a connection with the word "fraud". After all, the first time he appeared in public was as a "marriage agency scam."

With this experience, it makes sense to make this movie.
