After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 295 Another opportunity to serve the country! The copyright of "Bright Sword" is handed over to the state!
In early December, on a winter night, snow began to fall from the sky, and the city was gradually covered with a thick layer of silver. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise building, the view was unobstructed and truly spectacular.

After hanging up the phone with Liu Yu, Shen Ming'en immediately planned to write "Unforgettable Tonight," and then, after a little reflection, send it to her...

“Click, click…”

Shen Ming'en, typing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stood tall and had delicate features, and really did have the air of a "successful person".

Perhaps because his attention was focused on the content on his phone, Shen Ming'en didn't pay much attention to Yao Shuli's movements until he heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind him. Only then did he subconsciously intend to turn around and look...

Before he could turn around, he noticed two slender, white hands slowly encircling his waist.

The familiar fragrance filled my nostrils, and two indescribable mounds pressed against my back. On my shoulder, I could feel Yao Shuli's face pressed against mine.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Ming'en held his phone in one hand and placed the other hand on Yao Shuli's hand, asking curiously.

"It's nothing," Yao Shuli said softly, "I just wanted to hug you."

The latter's tone was warm and touched. She hadn't mentioned this matter to Shen Mingen, and Shen Mingen had been so busy lately that he didn't seem to have paid much attention to her affairs. Yet, just when she had no expectations whatsoever, Shen Mingen quietly resolved her matter on the very day he returned...

you say!

How could Yao Shuli not be moved?
The most charming moment for a man is never when he is good-looking, has a great physique, or a great personality, but simply when he solves a problem quietly and effortlessly – that's when his charm explodes!

Shen Ming'en wasn't stupid at all; in fact, he was quite shrewd. The moment Yao Shuli acted this way, they both immediately realized it was because of the "Music Journey" incident…

So Shen Ming'en casually put his phone away again, temporarily putting aside the Spring Festival Gala, and then turned around and gently hugged Yao Shuli.

Yao Shuli is actually quite tall, over 1.7 meters, so the height difference between her and Shen Mingen can hardly be considered the "cutest height difference"...

When they hugged, she always habitually wrapped her arms around Shen Mingen's chest, from his armpits to his waist. Because she was relatively thin and Shen Mingen had a broad frame, he could easily wrap his arms around her shoulders and pull her into his embrace...

On this snowy night, in a warm room, the two people, embracing each other through thick sweaters and fleece-lined sweatshirts, felt incredibly warm inside.

But Shen Ming'en, well...

He's rarely serious.

Is this not?

As he touched her, his hand suddenly began to wander over Yao Shuli's back, tickling her until she blushed and playfully scolded him:

"What are you touching... what are you touching?"

"Touch that old, hard-to-understand puzzle..." Shen Ming'en whispered in Yao Shuli's ear, his breath seemingly reaching her ears.

This made Yao Shuli's delicate face even more rosy...

"oops……"

She quickly tugged at Shen Ming'en's arm and said, "I'm not...I'm not wearing any..."

Perhaps because she was too shy, Yao Shuli didn't dare to speak loudly, almost in a whisper, so Shen Ming'en didn't understand her at first...

Later, after seeing Yao Shuli's experience and trying to touch her for a long time without success, I finally understood what Yao Shuli meant!
"Oh~!!!"

Shen Ming'en's eyes practically lit up; he thought to himself, "What a great thing!"
Then, in those few moments before Yao Shuli could even recover, Shen Mingen lowered his head and kissed her lips.

After a passionate kiss, Hajime picked Yao Shuli up and carried her into the room.

Look!
This is the real reason why Yao Shuli's nanny was "laid off".

They're both in the prime of their lives, and this guy suddenly got all excited. If there's a housekeeper at home who happens to see this, how embarrassing would that be...?

"Don't...don't..."

What a pity, what a pity, the timing wasn't right today. Shen Ming'en had barely thrown Yao Shuli onto the bed when Yao Shuli immediately shook her head and waved her hands, blushing as she said:

"It's not convenient today..."

"what?"

Shen Ming'en was stunned...

Looking down...

Her face immediately fell.

His passion seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, causing his hands to pause for a moment before he immediately collapsed onto the bed with a helpless expression.

"Pfft..."

Seeing Shen Mingen like this, Yao Shuli couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Shen Mingen still lying on the bed, she couldn't help but ask with amusement, "Are you alright?"

Shen Ming'en didn't even look up when he heard this, waving his hand to indicate, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead..."

Yao Shuli forced a laugh as she sat up, straightening her disheveled collar to completely conceal the large expanse of her cleavage. She gently shook Shen Ming'en, intending to say something comforting, but…

Then I wondered if saying those things at this time would be a bit...disappointing?

Women are inherently creatures of reciprocity; if you treat them well, they'll treat you well in return. Today, Shen Mingen did a lot for Yao Shuli, especially regarding "The Journey of Sound." If it weren't for Shen Mingen, things wouldn't have been so easy to resolve, and Yao Shuli didn't want to keep relying on her family for help...

Because she was really "touched" tonight, Yao Shuli really wanted to... repay Shen Ming'en.

But today is really inconvenient...

After a brief moment of contemplation, Yao Shuli's fair and delicate face suddenly turned red at a visible speed, as if she had thought of something.

She seemed to be hesitating and deliberating on something, probably having an internal struggle, and this was reflected on her face.

After a long while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She gritted her teeth, then crawled over to Shen Ming'en, bent her knees, and sat down in front of him, blushing as she nudged him...

At that moment, Shen Mingen was lying on the bed with his head buried in the blanket, pretending to be desperate as if "the person is gone".

He was startled when Yao Shuli suddenly jolted him.

Before Shen Ming'en could even look up at Yao Shuli, Yao Shuli said in a very embarrassed and awkward tone, "You... turn over."

Shen Ming'en was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and didn't immediately realize what was going on...

But since he doted on Yao Shuli, and this wasn't Yao Shuli's fault, he eventually obediently turned the tables.

Shen Ming'en had intended to ask Yao Shuli what she was suddenly up to, but before he could even open his mouth after turning over...

Yao Shuli blushed, lowered her head, and without looking at him, silently reached out and grabbed his belt...

"hiss……"

Shen Ming'en turned pale.

He didn't even have time to open his mouth...

But Yao Shuli opened her mouth.

……

The next day, Yao Shuli had work to do, and her assistants came to pick her up before dawn. After seeing Yao Shuli off, Shen Ming'en couldn't sleep, so he simply packed his things and headed to Northwest Shanxi.

Sigh, there's nothing I can do. It's not just Yao Shuli who's busy; Shen Ming'en is busy too. It's one thing for "Sparkling Melody" to keep urging him, but the "Bright Sword" crew is also urging him every day. The director keeps saying that he doesn't have enough footage left. Oh dear, if he doesn't come back soon, the show will really be canceled next week due to "production issues."

To know!
After four more episodes of "Bright Sword" aired last week and the week before, the response was truly phenomenal. From elderly people in their seventies and eighties to kindergarten students who have just learned to read, many people are watching it!

It is said that when the show aired last week, it garnered over 100 million views within just one hour of its release, and the number of discussions soared to over 10 million!
no way……

Who can blame them when the quality of "Bright Sword" is just too good?
In a time when every corner of the Chinese entertainment industry is filled with awkward and disgusting historical dramas featuring young, handsome actors who are pretentious and unable to speak, "Bright Sword" will always be able to break through the encirclement with its quality, even though "anti-Japanese war dramas" are declining!
This effect was obviously not unexpected for Shen Ming'en. After all, in Shen Ming'en's original world, "Bright Sword" was known as the "Empresses in the Palace" in the hearts of men. Even when he was in a very restless state, if he came across it while scrolling through short videos, he would stop and watch an episode!

You think "men's speed bumps" are a joke?!

Because of its absolute "quality", the platform has recently been communicating with Shen Ming'en, asking if they could push themselves to film more episodes and submit them to the platform, which is planning to do that... advanced on-demand viewing!
Although this guy's way of making money was extremely ugly, he still shared the profits with Shen Ming'en, and the profits Shen Ming'en made were quite staggering.

So……

That's why the production crew was so anxious to urge Shen Ming'en to go back.

Shen Ming'en had no choice but to rush off to northwestern Shanxi the day after returning from abroad, without even spending a full 24 hours with Yao Shuli...

One thing that is really worth mentioning is that recently, with the huge popularity of "Bright Sword", Shen Ming'en has gradually received emails from some "TV stations" that intend to buy the broadcasting rights.

This is actually quite normal. In fact, these kinds of "anti-Japanese war dramas" are exactly what major TV stations love most. Many people make these kinds of dramas specifically to sell to TV stations...

However, these "TV stations" are the ones that place the most importance on "connections"...

When Shen Ming'en was looking for platforms for "Bright Sword," he did approach television stations, but unfortunately, almost all of them already had their own "anti-Japanese war drama suppliers" and didn't need Shen Ming'en. They also didn't think that a young singer like Shen Ming'en, who was crossing over from other fields, could do a good job in his first acting role...

Therefore, almost all television stations politely declined Shen Ming'en's request for cooperation.

Later, because he felt that there was not much future for television stations in the internet age, Shen Ming'en stopped dealing with the leaders of television stations.

Now, as is obvious, the situation has reversed...

Shen Ming'en's "Bright Sword" became a huge hit on online video platforms, attracting nationwide viewers. Even middle-aged and elderly viewers who were originally loyal to television stations flocked to online video platforms to watch it, which essentially shook the "foundation" of television stations!
How could those TV stations not come to Shen Ming'en to buy the copyrights?
To be honest, although television stations have declined in this internet age and are no longer as glorious as they were in the "cable TV era," some television stations...

They really are loaded!
For example, the Orange Channel, the Blue Channel, and the Suzhou Channel...

These TV stations have a deep foundation. Every year, they invite so many top-tier celebrities to their New Year's Eve galas that you can't count them on two hands. How could they not afford to buy a hit drama like Shen Ming'en?

These companies were also secretly competing, offering varying amounts of money, like they were "bidding" each other. Before long, the prices even reached a small fortune!
That's incredibly exaggerated!
Shen Ming'en never expected that TV stations would offer such high licensing fees!

Logically speaking, anyone in Shen Ming'en's shoes would probably have immediately agreed to the highest-paying TV station's offer...

But Shen Ming'en still hasn't made a decision.

In fact, Shen Ming'en didn't attract much sponsorship for the TV series "Bright Sword". After all, basically no one was optimistic about Shen Ming'en at the time, and the largest shareholders were basically him and Yao Shuli.

Yao Shuli listened to him, so Shen Mingen could make his own decision.

Although those TV stations offered incredibly high prices and showed their utmost sincerity, Shen Ming'en felt...

I still want to wait.

hold on.

For him, this drama is not actually intended to be too "commercial".

Just as Shen Ming'en arrived at the Jin-Northwest film crew today, he suddenly received a call from an unknown number...

The call came from a private account, and the IP address indicated that it was from Beijing. In fact, this phone number, being Shen Ming'en's private account, didn't receive many calls. And since it was from Beijing, even though he didn't know who it was, the fact that they knew his phone number meant they had connections. So Shen Ming'en didn't think much of it and answered the call directly.

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Teacher Ming'en?"

“It’s me. Who are you?” Shen Ming’en asked.

"Hello, Mr. Ming'en, I'm from the CCTV drama channel..." the other person said to Shen Ming'en very politely.

In fact, if any celebrity who had ever dealt with CCTV's drama channel were here, they would definitely be astonished to hear the polite and courteous tone the other party used when speaking to Shen Ming'en.

Please!

Although this woman spoke casually, her background was incredibly exaggerated!

How powerful is she?
CCTV!

Central Bank!

Although it's Channel 8, which is a drama channel, it's still a national-level drama channel!
How can it be compared to those provincial or municipal local channels?!
The reason why the other party approached Shen Ming'en was now self-evident...

I want the broadcasting rights to "Bright Sword"!
Shen Ming'en's lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself, "You guys finally called..."

Another opportunity to "hand over copyrights to the state" and "serve the motherland" has arrived!
