The film and television city starts from the courtyard

When Li Bala knew Zhang Yang had returned, she went straight to her cousin Asi. She was worried that Zhang Yang would continue to harass her, so she stayed at the bar.

Zhang Yang naturally knew that Li Bala had returned, and had tried to find Li Bala, but after learning that Li Bala was avoiding him, he did not continue to pester her.

In fact, he once secretly came to the Magic City. Originally, he wanted to see how Li Bala and Zhao Shucheng got along and see if there was any chance to cause trouble. However, he did not expect to see Zhao Shucheng and Li Er and the other two together. Moreover, no one in the school believed the rumors he spread, so he could only go back in shame.

Time flies and three years have passed.

Zhao Shucheng is about to graduate, but he does not plan to work for other companies, nor does he plan to work for Xu Ruiyang's company. Instead, he plans to use the money he has earned in the past few years to start his own company.

Because Li Bala was studying for a junior college degree, he graduated at about the same time as Zhao Shucheng and obtained a junior college diploma.

When Li Er knew that Zhao Shucheng and Li Bala had graduated and would no longer have to go to school, he looked at Zhao Shucheng and the others with some envy.

"You guys are fine. You don't have to go to class anymore. I still have a year to graduate."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It won't be long. In a blink of an eye, he will face the same graduation situation as us."

"You make it sound easy."

After so many years, Li Er has grown a lot and is no longer the innocent little girl she used to be.

After Li Er knew that Zhao Shucheng had graduated, he said, "Come to think of it, after you graduate, whether you are looking for a job or starting a business, you probably won't continue to live here, right?"

Li Bala smiled and said, "Why, little ear has feelings for this place and can't bear to leave?"

"Of course not, it's just that I haven't graduated yet, so I may not be able to live outside with you guys. I may have to go back to the dormitory."

"How could that be? Don't worry. We will still live here for the time being, at least until the New Year. After the New Year, you will have your thesis defense and you will hardly go to class at that time. You can continue to live with us."

Zhao Shucheng took out his computer, opened a photo, and said, "This is the new house I found. It has four bedrooms and two living rooms. Everyone will have their own separate room and study. You can create your own novel in the study, or try something different."

Li Er blushed when she heard this. Although Zhao Shucheng had not eaten her for so many years, they were still very close to each other, but it just didn't reach the final step.

In fact, Li Er's recent years have not been completely fruitless. She has been publishing her novels on the Internet, and the series have been very popular. There is already a publishing house ready to publish her novels.

This was naturally a big surprise for Li Er. It not only proved his creative talent and brought him a generous sum of royalties, but also proved his love.

After all, her first novel was about secret love, and the story was about her secret love for Zhao Shucheng. Her later novels were also adapted from things that happened around her, including "Bala Bala" and the story of her senior sister Lin Lin.

Zhao Shucheng stepped forward to help Li Er negotiate the publishing matter, and rejected the buyout contract offered by the publishing house, instead signing a long-term royalty contract.

Although Zhao Shucheng didn't know whether Li Er's novel would sell well, he knew that she wrote it quite well. Even if she didn't get much money at the beginning, she would still get a steady stream of royalties in the future.

Li Er didn't know much about these things, but she trusted Zhao Shucheng, so she gave Zhao Shucheng full authority to handle it. After all, even if Zhao Shucheng asked her to earn less money, as long as she was with Zhao Shucheng, it didn't matter.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng's parents had already known that Zhao Shucheng lived with two girls and even had a relationship with them. But they had no way to interfere, especially after knowing that the money he made from stock speculation in recent years was more than the foundation they had built, they knew that using financial means to make Zhao Shucheng compromise would not work.

They could only turn a blind eye to it and not be bothered by it. As long as Zhao Shucheng came home occasionally to see them, it would be fine. As for Zhao Shucheng's place, they almost never set foot there.

Zhao Shucheng and his friends have their own careers and development, but Jiang Jiao has also been very busy and has made considerable progress in his career.

Since accepting the packaging of a professional agent, she has been patiently studying for a period of time. Then she made her debut with a song and gradually accumulated considerable fame.

However, she has not produced many works, so her fame is still a little far from the first-tier. Although the entertainment industry is not based on seniority, fame does represent a person's status to a certain extent.

For example, once when Jiang Jiao attended a red carpet event, the reporters initially wanted to interview Jiang Jiao, but when they saw another more popular star, they simply left Jiang Jiao aside, making her feel that she was not being noticed.

This was quite a stimulation for Jiang Jiao. She originally thought that she was famous and should be qualified to snatch back her fiancé, but now it seems that it is not enough. She decided to practice harder and strive to become a first-line star as soon as possible.

On this day, Zhao Shucheng's company officially opened. This time he did not open a restaurant, nor did he do business in the food, clothing, housing and transportation industry. Instead, he opened an investment company that specializes in angel round investments in companies.

This is because Zhao Shucheng felt that it was difficult for black people to succeed in the past, and he also knew that many startups now face the dilemma of lack of funds and it is difficult to develop quickly, so he decided to invest to allow more outstanding founders to realize their dreams earlier.

Xu Ruiyang was a little worried after knowing Zhao Shucheng's plan. After all, he couldn't come up with too much money to support Zhao Shucheng.

However, Zhao Shucheng told Xu Ruiyang: "Dad, I don't need your financial support. I have made some money myself over the years. Although it's not much, it's enough to run the company for a while."

Xu Ruiyang asked worriedly, "But do you know the risks involved?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course I know that. After the angel round of investment, only 45% of start-ups can enter the next round of financing, and only 2% of them can finally go public through IPO. The success rate of this industry is that only one out of ten companies may make it to the end, and many of the remaining companies will close down or go bankrupt."

"So you still insist on doing this?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "But we can't back down just because the success rate is low. Investing 10 million, 500,000 per company, even if the success rate is only 10%, we can still recover the cost in the end, and even double the profit. Besides, I have my own plan. I will screen the companies that will receive financing, and I won't invest blindly."

Zhao Shucheng told Xu Ruiyang about his plan to let him know that his choice was not blind.

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's confidence and his own plans, Xu Ruiyang let Zhao Shucheng try on his own. Even if he failed in the end, his own business would be Zhao Shucheng's way out.

Jiang Jiao appeared at the opening ceremony of Zhao Shucheng's company. Since she is now a little star, she naturally attracted a lot of reporters and also did some publicity for Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng asked Li Bala to handle work in the company, and he took Li Bala to the cafe for coffee.

Jiang Jiao looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Xu Yi, how are you after all these years?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You can see that I'm fine. You've been doing well recently too. I've seen the reports online. You're considered a big star now."

"It's OK! I often wonder, if I had chosen to come to Shanghai with you to study, would everything be different?" Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "There are not so many ifs in the world. Besides, if you were with me, you might not have achieved what you have now. You might just be an ordinary graduate, and now you can only work as a music teacher in school, or be busy looking for opportunities."

"Yeah. By the way, I have to go record a song later. Can you come with me?"

Zhao Shucheng checked the time and said, "Okay, come to think of it, I haven't really watched anyone record a song yet, and I want to learn more about it."

Hearing that Zhao Shucheng agreed, Jiang Jiao smiled happily.

Arriving at the recording studio and watching Jiang Jiao recording, Zhao Shucheng knew that she had changed a lot. At least, she was no longer the girl who would always throw tantrums at every turn. She could now listen to other people's opinions and was willing to change for them.

After Jiang Jiao told his agent, he came to Zhao Shucheng and asked, "How is it?"

"Not bad. I see your changes. It seems you have worked hard before."

Jiang Jiao said happily: "Really? Are you encouraging me?"

"Yes! You are different now. No wonder some people say red energy nourishes people."

Jiang Jiao smiled, but the agent came back and asked Jiang Jiao to go with him to have dinner with the recording engineers to thank them.

Jiang Jiao also had to say goodbye to Zhao Shucheng reluctantly.

Zhao Shucheng looked at Jiang Jiao and knew very well that she still liked him. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to send some songs to Jiang Jiao the next day and let her try to sing them so that she could become famous faster.

After all, I know quite a few songs from so many worlds, and since I can reproduce them in this world, of course I want to give them to the people closest to me.

Moreover, Zhao Shucheng knew very well that only in the past few years can singers become famous through songs, but after a few years, the songs released will not bring much attention to the singers. In other words, many people are familiar with singers, but their famous songs are vague or have no impression at all.

Although Li Er was still working in the cake shop where Lin Lin worked, he seemed a little absent-minded the whole day.

After seeing this, Lin Lin took the initiative to come over and asked, "Li Er, you have been in a daze all day, what's wrong?"

"nothing!"

"You said it was nothing, but I can tell you're lovesick. Are you worried that your boyfriend will be separated from you after graduation?"

"No, he is in Shanghai, but today is the day his company opens."

Lin Lin said, "I was wondering why you were absent-minded all day. You should have asked for leave earlier."

"No, he doesn't care about that. I'm just thinking..."

Li Er thought of what Zhao Shucheng had said before, and thought about how she would truly become Zhao Shucheng's woman in the future, and her face suddenly blushed.

When Lin Lin saw Li Er like this, she immediately understood something and exclaimed, which made Li Er unable to help but chase Lin Lin and play with her.

When Jiang Jiao went back to rest, she was very excited to see the message from Zhao Shucheng on her mobile phone. After seeing that there were several songs and Zhao Shucheng specifically asked her to sing, she almost ran out to find Zhao Shucheng in excitement.

Looking at the lyrics and songs she had written, Jiang Jiao seemed to have found the motivation to strive for success. She couldn't wait to ask her agent to help her record them, but when she reached the door, she stopped.

She was reluctant to just perform the gift Zhao Shucheng gave her so casually, so she had to practice it well and then perform it solemnly in a public occasion.

So in the following period of time, Jiang Jiao asked his agent to reduce his work arrangements and started the devilish training with all his heart, trying his best to sing these songs in the best condition.

One day, Jiang Jiao was taken by his agent to participate in a talent show, but the quality and style of this talent show were too low, and the judges were not professional at all. There were even a few nouveau riche who relied on their wealth to make decisions for the contestants.

There was a contestant who could not sing at all, but he was recognized by the judges and easily advanced to the next round just by flirting with the rich people and telling a few dirty jokes.

This was a little unacceptable to Jiang Jiao, so he drove away angrily, but was stopped by his agent.

"Stop right there, Jiang Yaxi, stop right there."

Jiang Jiao looked at the agent angrily and said, "You liar, get out of here, you liar. Return all my dad's money to me."

"Hey, don't you know how much money I spent for you to participate in this show?"

"Okay, I don't want the money, but you don't need to appear in my sight."

The agent said, "Ya Xi, Jiang Ya Xi, open the door!"

"Go away!"

The agent said excitedly: "Jiang Yaxi, the person has already been chosen, and I have signed the contract for you. If you run away now, who will pay the penalty?"

"Get out of my way!"

Jiang Jiao was so angry that he drove away. His agent shouted at Jiang Jiao's car, "Do you think you are great just because you are rich? Just having money is called a nouveau riche. Without power and status, no one will respect you."

Jiang Jiao was deeply hurt by his words. After all, because her family had only money, she had few true friends and they all looked down on her.

When the agent saw Jiang Jiao coming back, he smiled secretly. He knew that Jiang Jiao would compromise if he said this. After all, he knew too well what Jiang Jiao cared about the most.

Jiang Jiao reached an agreement with her agent that she could participate in the talent show, but the agent also had to improve her professional skills to stand out in the show, and she also had to sing the songs she prepared.

The agent actually didn't care whether Jiang Jiao could make it to the end. He was paid for the job anyway, so he readily agreed. (End of this chapter)
