Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

After chatting for nearly half an hour, Jiang Chengyu hung up the phone, satisfied.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be a regular cast member on Go Fighting!

Next, we just need to wait for the notification from the Extreme Challenge production team.

Once the work was settled, Jiang Chengyu immediately returned his attention to the system.

There's not much more to say.

Jiang Chengyu immediately used his pitiful popularity points to buy a health-preserving pill.

The numbers that were originally acceptable suddenly became four digits.

The system's "delivery" is also very high-end.

They created something out of thin air right in front of Jiang Chengyu.

He picked up the health-preserving pill that had appeared out of nowhere on the bedside table.

After examining it for a while, Jiang Chengyu swallowed it with water.

And you know what? The effect was immediate.

Even though the product descriptions in the system store said that the effects would take a long time to appear, Jiang Chengyu still noticed changes in his body.

This change is a bit hard to describe.

The constant feeling of emptiness on both sides of my waist is very real.

After taking the health-preserving pill, Jiang Chengyu could clearly feel a sudden surge of heat on both sides of his waist.

The analogy is that two little people live on either side of your waist.

Then the two little people took a sip of hot water.

Although it was only a single bite, the heat was quite noticeable.

Then the product description clearly states that the product requires long-term use to see results...

Jiang Chengyu was a little confused.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination or if his health was really that bad.

Eating just a little bit of something effective will have a noticeable effect...

But in any case, the system's appearance showed him a solid path to a happy life ahead.

After this series of events, Jiang Chengyu lost the desire to continue sleeping.

Get up and wash up.

Then they went out fully armed.

Jiang Chengyu was preparing to take a tour of the "empire" he had built.

Although the company usually has a professional team to manage it, it's only been a short time since the Chinese New Year.

As the boss, he should both morally and logically make an appearance at the company during this period.

This is where we will delve into Jiang Chengyu's 'struggle' process since his transmigration.

Let's start with time travel.

In his previous life, Jiang Chengyu, while drunk, transmigrated into the body of someone with the same name in 2000.

The original owner had very simple interpersonal relationships, consisting only of her parents.

On the day Jiang Chengyu traveled through time, both his parents died.

At that time, the original owner's family was traveling in Taiwan.

A car accident sent the original owner to the hospital and her parents to the morgue.

The compensation money, plus the family's original savings, was only enough for Jiang Chengyu to pay for medical expenses.

It's fair to say that when Jiang Chengyu was discharged from the hospital, he didn't even have money for food, let alone a plane ticket back to the mainland.

Therefore, at that time, Jiang Chengyu only had one path to choose from.

He stayed in Taiwan to work.

He can't afford not to work; he'll starve.

I must say, the original owner's face was absolutely stunning.

Even though Jiang Chengyu was a typical straight man, he was easily stunned when he looked in the mirror when he first transmigrated.

So cool!

Jiang Chengyu, who possesses memories of his past life, knows that the period around the turn of the millennium was the heyday of the Taiwanese entertainment industry.

It would be a shame if the original owner of this face didn't go into the entertainment industry and make some money.

So, in his spare time, Jiang Chengyu would often go to famous film sets.

Although he didn't know if entertainment companies in Taiwan had talent scouts, this face gave Jiang Chengyu immense confidence.

The same is true.

Not long after, Jiang Chengyu was discovered by Chai Zhiping.

That's right, she's the infamous idol drama godmother of Taiwan in later generations!

When Chai Zhiping first asked for his contact information, Jiang Chengyu was overjoyed.

But when he turned around, reality hit him hard.

Chai Zhiping didn't see his potential and wanted to promote him; he was after his body and wanted to...

Jiang Chengyu was resistant to this idea.

Then... Jiang Chengyu's debut work at the age of eighteen was "Meteor Garden"!

He played the role of Hanazawa Rui!

Some things are just beyond our control.

Although Jiang Chengyu came from the future, he had many ideas about getting rich.

But all of these ideas require initial funding.

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny!

And to be fair, forty-year-old Chai Zhiping is quite capable.

She also provided both resources and money.

Jiang Chengyu genuinely didn't feel like he had lost out.

Let's get back to his professional career.

Jiang Chengyu's goal was clear: make enough money and then leave.

After the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", Jiang Chengyu began his rise to power with his foresight.

She has starred in dramas such as "The Wedding Dress of Heaven", "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog", "Corner with Love", "My Lucky Star", "Fated to Love You" and "Hi My Sweetheart".

It can be said that Jiang Chengyu's face represents the most glorious period of Taiwanese entertainment in this world!

The "national white moonlight" mentioned earlier is absolutely true and not fabricated at all.

His "white moonlight" attribute is even very popular throughout Asia.

He then snatched the role of Duan Yu from Lin Zhiying in the 03 version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

If Liu Xiaoli hadn't been so strict back then, even a celestial being like him...

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

In addition to his acting career, Jiang Chengyu also works as a singer.

Moreover, he did this part-time job very well.

After all, I heard so many songs in my past life.

Using grades as an example.

If Jiang Chengyu hadn't been so slow in his "output," it's uncertain whether he or Jay Chou would have been the last superstar.

That's all for now regarding the job of a singer; more details will follow later.

This section will discuss how Jiang Chengyu made his fortune.

After filming "Meteor Garden," Jiang Chengyu, while touring the world for commercial performances, used his spare time to "borrow" a song.

Then, it was published using Chai Zhiping's connections.

The result speaks for itself.

It went straight to the top of the pop music charts that year!

Including other income, Jiang Chengyu earned nearly ten million yuan in his first year in the industry!

Having money in your hands broadens your horizons.

Jiang Chengyu had the idea of ​​making money from money.

He set his sights on the mainland real estate market.

They were thinking of buying and hoarding houses in Beijing.

But for some reason, Jiang Chengyu suddenly had the urge to go and check out the stock market.

In his previous life, Jiang Chengyu did not play the stock market.

He doesn't know much about the stock market.

The only two stocks that are certain to make money are Kweichow Moutai and Tencent.

However, since taking a look wasn't illegal, Jiang Chengyu went to see it.

Then, upon closer inspection, it became clear that something was amiss.

The big one is immediately obvious!

Only heaven knows what Jiang Chengyu felt when he saw that a share of a pig farm only cost $0.5.

Although Jiang Chengyu didn't know the highest price the pig farm's stock had ever reached.

But $0.5 is really outrageous.

This is no different from finding money on the street.

So without a doubt, Jiang Chengyu went all in, exchanging all the money in his pocket for pig farm stock.

Things happened by chance.

Not long after he went all in, the pig farm suspended trading.

Four months later, the pig farm's stock price skyrocketed.

Because he lacked prior knowledge about the stock market, Jiang Chengyu felt uncertain.

In the first half of 03, he sold all the shares of his pig farm.

Jiang Chengyu made a net profit of nearly 300 million yuan from this!

It must be said that Jiang Chengyu threw it away too early.

If he can hold out until the second half of the year before selling, he could earn at least 1.4 billion!

I won't go into the details.

In short, Jiang Chengyu regretted it for two whole years after receiving the news.

Let's go back to what happened after Jiang Chengyu cashed out his stocks.

What was he planning to do at first?

Jiang Chengyu's initial goal was to buy a house in Beijing!

Then another coincidence occurred.

The capital city was in a special period at that time.

The housing prices in Beijing, which had just started to rise, were brought down by this wave.

So without any hesitation, Jiang Chengyu went on a buying spree of houses!

There's one more thing to mention here.

03 was the craze for ringback tones.

Jiang Chengyu naturally couldn't miss it.

Two ringtone songs were released, bringing in tens of millions more.

He not only used all the money in his pocket to buy a house.

He was also buying a house in Beijing while filming to earn money.

Although housing prices in Beijing began to rise again in the second half of 03.

But compared to housing prices in later generations, it's definitely dirt cheap.

This has also led to a very interesting phenomenon.

In terms of wealth alone, Jiang Chengyu at that time already surpassed 90% of the people in the country.

But he actually has less money in his pocket than 90% of people in China.

This period of struggle lasted until around 08.

In 08, housing prices in Beijing saw a significant increase.

Jiang Chengyu earns a lot from filming, but it's nowhere near the rate at which Beijing's housing prices are rising.

At this point, Jiang Chengyu had the idea of ​​retiring from the entertainment industry and settling down.

At the time, Jiang Chengyu, who had just finished filming "Fated to Love You," was at the height of his career in the entertainment industry.

He wanted to retire gracefully, but that was just a thought.

Putting everything else aside, the people in Taiwan who rely on him to make money wouldn't do it.

The entertainment industry in Taiwan is far more complex than that in mainland China.

The domestic entertainment industry isn't that great either.

But no matter what, there is always a clear red line in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Taiwanese entertainment is different.

Given Jiang Chengyu's earning power at the time.

He held a press conference this morning to announce his retirement from the entertainment industry.

Before the news was even broadcast on TV at noon, a knife was already at my throat.

So it wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to or not; Jiang Chengyu genuinely didn't dare at the time.

But Jiang Chengyu's decision to retire from the entertainment industry is firm.

There's a saying that goes, "There are always more solutions than problems."

Those people valued his ability to make money.

Why not just find a way to make him lose his money-making ability?

In the past, Jiang Chengyu would keep his relationships or other activities secret.

They were afraid of being discovered by paparazzi.

From then on, Jiang Chengyu let himself go.

Don't say it's paparazzi taking photos secretly.

If he weren't so afraid of losing his life, he would have been willing to proactively send materials to the paparazzi.

When Jiang Chengyu first started to let loose, he was warned by many people.

But then a strange phenomenon occurred.

That is, all the female celebrities who had been rumored to have had affairs with Jiang Chengyu became famous.

It should be noted that Jiang Chengyu possesses memories of his past life.

And he himself has such good conditions.

And it just so happens that I'm in this circle.

Doesn't he deserve some good food?!

Let's put it this way, from the perspective of later generations.

In the years since Jiang Chengyu transmigrated to this world, he has specifically targeted female celebrities with names and identities from the future.

However, if viewed from a normal perspective, the result is completely different.

Jiang Chengyu is so lucky for female celebrities!

There's a saying that's still circulating in the entertainment industry.

That means Jiang Chengyu doesn't kill nameless nobody!

Female celebrities who have caught Jiang Chengyu's eye and whose relationships have been confirmed will definitely become famous; it's just a matter of time.

This statement seems very mystical.

But Jiang Chengyu really does choose to date well-known female celebrities from a futuristic perspective!

Not a single mistake!

The entertainment industry is also a hotbed of feudal superstition...

Therefore, for female artists who want to get ahead, Jiang Chengyu is an alternative "shortcut".

Moreover, dating Jiang Chengyu, aside from the vague and ethereal metaphysics, also has real benefits.

It's worth mentioning Jiang Chengyu's identity as a singer here.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Chengyu has produced very few works as a singer.

That's the absolute truth.

It is caused by objective facts.

Taiwanese entertainment companies really treat their artists like livestock.

Since the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", Jiang Chengyu has become a sensation for his role as Hua Ze Lei, and he has been very busy with work.

Individuals have very, very little free time.

In order to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, I must continue to work part-time as a singer.

But Jiang Chengyu is a person.

No one can work 24/7, day after day.

Moreover, Jiang Chengyu's workplace is in the entertainment industry.

There are so many beautiful women around me.

So...right?

Jiang Chengyu spends most of his personal free time chasing girls and dating.

Only a small portion of my time is spent creating songs.

Then let's talk about dating itself.

In fact, Jiang Chengyu doesn't mind a seamless transition.

However, Jiang Chengyu doesn't have that ability.

Secondly, Jiang Chengyu was still quite concerned about his image at the time and didn't dare to act recklessly.

Therefore, Jiang Chengyu has relatively ample personal time after each breakup.

He used this time to write and release songs.

So this leads to another very strange phenomenon.

Jiang Chengyu releases a new song every time he breaks up with someone!

Then Jiang Chengyu talked about female celebrities who would become famous in the future.

In order to extend the profitable life of the song copyright, and also because they didn't want to pay a breakup fee.

Jiang Chengyu then gave the performance rights of each of his new songs to his ex-girlfriend free of charge.

This has created another chain reaction.

Jiang Chengyu is a lucky charm for female celebrities.

Even if this matter is too mystical and unreliable.

However, as long as you date Jiang Chengyu, you will definitely get the permanent free right to sing a hit song.

This is definitely a masterpiece!

There are far too many people in the entertainment industry who can live off just one song for a lifetime!

All these factors combined make Jiang Chengyu a treasure that many female celebrities absolutely must have!

Jiang Chengyu's current poor health is largely due to this incident.

Therefore, Jiang Chengyu has been semi-retired from the entertainment industry for many years now.

There are still countless paparazzi stalking his house.

The paparazzi weren't trying to take pictures of Jiang Chengyu.

They wanted to know who Jiang Chengyu's next girlfriend would be...

That's a long story; let's get back to the point.

She noticed that Jiang Chengyu had a knack for bringing good fortune to female celebrities.

It was also discovered that Jiang Chengyu genuinely didn't want to stay in the industry anymore, rather than wanting to switch jobs.

Those people then changed their attitude and used Jiang Chengyu as a supporting character for their company's female artists.

Two more years passed.

After the ten-year contract expired, Jiang Chengyu packed his bags overnight and flew back to the mainland.

He has started a semi-retired, laid-back lifestyle.

The term "semi-retirement" here refers to Jiang Chengyu occasionally dating or releasing a new song.

After returning to the mainland, he never acted again.

But even if you're just lying down, you still have to pick up the money you can.

For example, buying large amounts of Moutai and Tencent stocks.

I'll stock up on some more Bitcoin.

For example, after buying so many houses in Beijing, Jiang Chengyu established a real estate agency to facilitate management.

Then, they carefully select the management team, provide them with high equity incentives, and take advantage of the booming real estate market.

Huanyu Real Estate, under Jiang Chengyu's name, is now a top-tier real estate brokerage company in China.

For example, Jiang Chengyu knew how vast the blue ocean of the milk tea industry was and how easy it was to get started.

Today, Jiang Chengyu's "Overlord Tea Girl" brand has spread throughout the streets and alleys of China.

Of course, the milk tea shops have achieved their current scale mainly thanks to franchisees.

Jiang Chengyu also earns a large portion of his profits from franchise fees.

For example, Jiang Chengyu also started an entertainment company.

Don't misunderstand.

Jiang Chengyu's entertainment company is only responsible for the release of his new songs and copyright management.

This is something I want to emphasize.

This company manages not only song copyrights, but also many film and television copyrights.

To give a simple example.

In 2006, the permanent film and television rights for "My Own Swordsman" were sold for 2,000 yuan per episode.

Isn't this just making money for free?

Jiang Chengyu took the path of LeEco ahead of time.

They spent lavishly to acquire the copyrights of films and television dramas with high rerun rates, high rewatch rates, and many derivative works created by later generations.

Of course, Jiang Chengyu wasn't as financially powerful as LeEco, so his approach was very targeted.

Everything I bought was top-quality...

The last example.

What's the hottest trend in 2015?

Live streaming platform!

Jiang Chengyu began planning in 2012.

With no competitors, Jiang Chengyu's first-mover advantage was simply too great.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chengyu's live streaming platform is now a top-tier platform!

Similarly, because they know all too well how much money the future battle between live streaming platforms will burn, and what the fate of the live streaming platforms will be.

Therefore, Jiang Chengyu does not intend to continue operating the business.

In 2015, the live streaming industry began to take off.

Jiang Chengyu observes the changing landscape, welcomes any investment, and is ready to cash out and leave at any time.

The above is the empire that Jiang Chengyu built.

Anyone who owns these things would want to just relax and do nothing!

Unfortunately, Jiang Chengyu went too far in "lying down," completely ruining his body.

Now, Jiang Chengyu has no choice but to fight for his health again.
