Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

As the company's mainstay, and having recently received the Big Boss certification, he believed that as long as the demands weren't too excessive, it would only take a word from Wang Man, and he wouldn't even need to go to Lei Mingkai's office.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang and his former teammates showed joy. Li Xiang quickly said, "I don't have many requirements. I just need some extra income. The main thing is... the main thing is that life is really too miserable right now."

After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Yang awkwardly and embarrassedly. For them now, they no longer had the ability to be picky about food. As long as they could have extra income, that would be fine. With the company's basic salary, they really couldn't make ends meet.

As someone who's been through it all, Zhou Yang might not know much about lower-level artists in other companies, but he knows Xingchen Entertainment all too well.

According to his memories, before he and his teammates debuted, they were trainees in a basement. At that time, they only received a monthly allowance of 800 yuan, and they couldn't even afford a bottle of mineral water in the summer.

Although it only costs 800 yuan a month, I practice for more than ten hours every day, almost to the point of risking my life.

He later debuted through "Youth 101" and signed his first official contract. His monthly base salary was 3000 yuan, and his appearance fee was split 10/90 with the company. He took 10% and the company took 90%.

Later, Zhou Yang became a top star and a pillar of the company. Xingchen Entertainment signed a new contract with him, which is the one being fulfilled now. He received a signing fee of 8 million yuan in one lump sum, a monthly base salary of 10,000 yuan, and the external business company took 60% of the profits while he received 40%.

If he remembered correctly, the other five people all earned 3000 yuan a month, and only the vice-captain Liu Jia, who was absent, could occasionally take on some low-level jobs.

Earning 3000 a month, and living in Shanghai, I simply couldn't survive if it weren't for the company providing dormitories and a cafeteria.

However, Zhou Yang herself has not yet made a comeback and does not have any extra works in hand. She cannot help these guys with their careers yet. After thinking for a moment, she could only say, "Don't worry, I will give feedback to Sister Wang."

The group of former teammates, having received the promise, were in high spirits and immediately started a new round of drinking contests.

When Zhou Yang was sent home, he was almost unconscious.

"Why did you drink so much today?"

Although Ms. Xu complained, she served him honey water and hangover tea, acting as a devoted wife and taking great care of him.

After being stuffed with a lot of stuff, Zhou Yang regained his senses a little and slurred, "It was fun being with a bunch of old friends, and I accidentally drank a few too many drinks."

Then, looking at the alluring and seductive young woman in front of him, he urged, "Help me sober up a bit more, I'm still a little dizzy."

The latter asked, puzzled, "Sobering up? Didn't we just drink hangover tea?"

Zhou Yang was too lazy to waste words.

Afterwards, the young woman complained, "Like a donkey, it just comes whenever it wants..."

Zhou Yang, who had entered a state of enlightenment, yawned and laughed, "I'll remember this as a great service."

.

The next day, Zhou Yang slept until the afternoon. Feeling weak all over, he didn't plan to go to the company to report for duty, but when he thought of the promise he made at the dinner table the night before, he had no choice but to force himself to come to the company to find Wang Man.

As soon as she entered, she got straight to the point: "Sister Wang, could you possibly help Li Xiang and the others?"

"I would like to help, but the problem is that unless they deliberately try to ride on your popularity, even without a fee, I doubt anyone would want them."

A bunch of trainees whose careers have completely expired have no value other than riding on the coattails of their former teammate Zhou Yang.

The problem is that Wang Man had already explicitly forbidden the practice of riding on someone else's popularity, and currently only Sun Weiwei and the Candy girl group are allowed to mention Zhou Yang when participating in programs.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Yang was also at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, when you make a full comeback, there will be plenty of opportunities. Whether you're recording a variety show or holding a solo concert, you can bring them along."

Wang Man offered advice.

However, Zhou Yang wasn't very interested in this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, Sister Wang, starting next month, give each of them an extra 5,000 yuan living allowance. The money will be deducted from the copyright fees I settle every month."

After much thought, the only simple and direct solution was to add more money.

Furthermore, both "Blooming Flowers" and "Learn to Meow" are wildly popular works that have swept the entire internet. In addition, Sun Weiwei and Lin Youyou are constantly taking on appearances and commercial performances, so the copyright fees that Xingchen Entertainment pays him as the author every month are quite considerable.

"Those guys are really lucky to have you as their former teammate."

Wang Man smiled.

"Help if you can, after all, we've been training together since we were teenagers, so we have some bond. By the way, Sister Wang, don't send Liu Jia any more messages, he doesn't need them at all."

Zhou Yang added that the former deputy captain still seemed resentful towards him, and there was no need for him to be a pushover.

After fulfilling her promise from last night, Zhou Yang ran into the artist management department administrator, greeted her, and said that she was in her office creating in seclusion and should not be disturbed by anyone or by phone.

He then went into the office, locked the door, and logged into the system.

After three months of extensive upgrades, the system interface has indeed undergone some changes. Previously, it was labeled "Other: Not Yet Open," but now it has been changed to "Exchange Shop."

After Zhou Yang clicked to enter, he found that it was indeed like those game stores, with the top ten classic pop music works, film and television drama and variety show scripts, all kinds of strange skill upgrade cards, and so on, with a wide variety of goods.

However, all of these items require him to accumulate "Flying Points" to exchange for them, and the prices vary, forming a pyramid shape.

Some of the popular online songs from his past life that he was familiar with only cost tens of thousands of "freedom points," while some groundbreaking classic works were priced ridiculously high.

For example, the animated film "Ne Zha 2" that he watched before his time travel required an astronomical amount of "Flying Value," which Zhou Yang believed would take him several years to complete.

"The system upgrade is now complete. It will shift from the previous newbie support mode to a self-reliant system. Going forward, tasks will be significantly reduced, with the main focus on in-game store exchanges..."

The system's words made Zhou Yang realize that the previous model of the system assigning tasks in advance and rewarding works, which he would then happen to show off, was over. If he wanted to be a plagiarist or show off in front of others, he would need to earn "Freedom Points" and then exchange them in the store.

The difficulty level has undoubtedly increased significantly.

Then the system said again: "In view of the first update of the exchange shop, we are giving you one free exchange opportunity. You can choose any item in the shop with a price of less than 100 million Freedom Points."

Choose any work with a value of less than 100 million (in "Flying Value").

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Yang was overjoyed. His earlier dissatisfaction with the system vanished instantly. The system was still a decent human being.

However, the next step made him struggle with making a choice.

With 100 million "Freedom Points," you can pick out a lot of good stuff from the system. For example, you can choose a hit song by Zhou Wang Tao Lin from his previous life, or exchange it for skill upgrade cards like before, which can improve your acting skills, singing skills, and so on.

For example, he currently has a B-level acting score of 70, and he can use this opportunity to improve his acting score to A-level, which is 85.

Actors of this caliber are fully capable of being nominated for mainstream awards such as the Magnolia Award and the Feitian Award.

The same goes for her singing skills; her singing ability is 85 points, which is completely at the level of a top-tier singer.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yang's thoughts were a bit chaotic. Simply put, he wanted everything in the store, but the problem was that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he maximize the benefits of this hard-won opportunity? That was the question.

He had to take this seriously, so he pulled out an A4 sheet of paper from the side and wrote down in detail his current situation and circumstances in the industry.
