How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 281 Just this time, okay?
Jiang Yu's anime "Ultra Beast Armor" has become completely popular. It has become completely popular because of its super high plot quality, each unique character in it, and the very profound plot.

In particular, the words of classic figures, such as the Whale Shark King, the Scorpion King, Elder Yuanzheng, and Ye Lingyun, have been widely circulated online, especially on short video platforms, and have received a lot of attention.

In the anime Jiang Yu, in particular, the story doesn't revolve around the main characters. Instead, each character, even the perceived villains, is portrayed with great charm. When hearing the villains speak, it's hard to tell who's the villain and who's the hero. I even think that the so-called villains like Ye Lingyun and the Whale Shark King have a point.

Both online and offline, pre-sales of action figures and related toys based on the anime "Cheuju Armor" have been very successful. Even after the official release, sales of related toys and action figures have remained high.

Jiang Yu and Penguin Video CEO Yang have been incredibly happy lately. CEO Yang, in particular, hadn't been entirely confident when he initially invested in Jiang Yu's original Chinese animation. It was primarily because of Jiang Yu himself that he was invested in. Even the company's top brass felt that even if Jiang Yu's project flopped, it wouldn't matter. They could just consider it a chance to build a good relationship with Jiang Yu. As long as they maintained a good relationship with Jiang Yu, they could guarantee success and profits if they invited him to other projects or shows.

But now it seems that it's completely different from what Mr. Yang and his team had initially imagined. Although the performance of the anime "Super Beast Armor" was not that good in the early days of its release, it could even be said that it was not that outstanding and was just average. However, as the plot progressed, the story became more and more exciting, and the performance improved day by day. In fact, by the second week, the online platform playback data had already surpassed the popular classic novel adaptation IP anime "Battle of the Heavens" from Taoyuan.

Even now, the data of the anime "Super Beast Armor" and its popularity on the Internet have far exceeded the novel "Battle of the Heavens" which was launched at the same time.

During this time, Mr. Yang even came to Zhonghai proudly and had a few days of fun with Jiang Yu. This anime is so popular right now, so popular, advertisers are pouring in a lot of money. Although the peripheral figures and toys belong to Jiang Yu, the copyright holder, and Penguin Video can't get them, Mr. Yang and Penguin Video have made a lot of money recently just from the money invested by advertisers.

The most important thing is that this anime has attracted many members to Penguin Video. Compared with advertising fees, members are the most important to their video platform.

But some are happy while others are sad. Jiang Yu and Mr. Yang are happy and cheerful. But Mr. Liu from Fengtian Entertainment has not been happy lately.

If you say the anime flopped, it wasn't really a flop. If you say it was a hit, it didn't seem to be a huge hit either. The key point is that the data has declined recently, and the reputation has become polarized. The most important thing is that their anime "Battle of the Heavens" is now unable to compete with Jiang Yu's original Chinese anime, and the premiere data is far behind theirs.

This is what has made Mr. Liu a little depressed recently.

At this moment, in Mr. Liu's office, he was looking at the audience's comments on his film "Fighting the Sky" on his mobile phone. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became.

"I feel like Fights of the Heavens is becoming increasingly unbearable. I used to think it was pretty good, but the recent plot feels so watery."

"I really can't stand watching it anymore. I feel like it's not as exciting as Jiang Yu's Ultra Beast Armor. I'm following Ultra Beast Armor every day anyway."

"The plot is too slow. A small plot about fighting monsters dragged on for several episodes. Although the novel has a slow pace in the early stages, the anime adaptation should at least be optimized. It can't just follow the original plot completely. What should be retained should be retained, and irrelevant parts should be deleted directly, or even just glossed over. The early stages followed the rhythm of the original, but it was so slow that I almost didn't want to watch it."

"I don't want to say more. It's so slow, who is watching it for? They really don't treat us passers-by as human beings. I haven't read the original work, and I'm watching an anime. The plot is so slow and boring. Forget it, I'm too lazy to watch it anyway. Jiang Yu's Super Beast Armor is still the best."

……

Mr. Liu saw these comments and sat there, his expression growing increasingly grim. The current reputation of "Battle of the Heavens" reflects this situation: many criticize the slow plot and dragging pacing. However, some fans of the original novel are expressing their support for the faithful adaptation.

At the beginning, Mr. Liu didn't care much. But now, more and more people are complaining that the plot is too slow, and even some fans of the original novel are saying that the plot of the anime is too slow to develop, even though it follows the original novel completely.

At this moment, Mr. Liu realized that his development of the storyline, which was completely based on the original novel, seemed to have some problems. Especially when he saw the recent data began to decline and the popularity began to drop, Mr. Liu felt that he should have deleted or glossed over the unimportant plot in the original novel.

But now, the anime has already been released, and the subsequent plot has been completed long ago. If we change it now, we have to change everything at once. Is this possible?
Mr. Liu felt a bit trapped in the current situation. He couldn't change it, so he had to bite the bullet and continue broadcasting.

Seeing that Jiang Yu's anime "Ultra Beast Armor" was performing better and better, even surpassing them for a while. The online popularity was still so high, and the toys and figures were selling so well. Jiang Yu was making a lot of money. Suddenly, Mr. Liu's mood became more and more depressed.

"Jiang Yu..."

"Ugh!"

Mr. Liu sighed deeply. He still regretted his decision. If he hadn't done that, even if Jiang Yu hadn't stayed, their relationship wouldn't have become so strained. Perhaps Jiang Yu, out of gratitude for his kindness, would have taken them on these projects, and he could have gotten a piece of the action.

but now……

Ugh!
It was all too late, too late. Even regret was useless. He could only watch helplessly as the young man he had personally pushed out climbed to the top of the mountain, surpassing him, and even stepping on him on the way.

Depression, irritability, regret, and all kinds of emotions filled his heart, making Mr. Liu feel as if he had aged several years.

……

At this moment, at Jiang Yu's house.

Su Muwan sat on the sofa, looking at Jiang Yu who was pouring water for her. She stood up and looked at the decoration and some other things in Jiang Yu's house, while talking to Jiang Yu.

"Why would you want to buy a house across from Xuexue? There's a villa next to me that's empty. You could have bought a house on my side back then."

This was Su Muwan's first time to visit Jiang Yu's house. Jiang Yu started renovating this house last year. After moving in this year, Su Muwan has been busy. She knew that Jiang Yu had moved into a new house, but she didn't know that the house Jiang Yu bought was just opposite Yang Xue's house.

Although her relationship with Yang Xue has reconciled now, Su Muwan still feels a little uncomfortable when she sees that the bastard Jiang Yu bought a house right across from Yang Xue.

Jiang Yu put the water on the coffee table and watched Su Muwan touring his house. When he heard this question, Jiang Yu did not panic. He had already thought of a solution in his mind.

"Well, Mu Wan, you know that I mortgaged my house and lived in a hotel. Later, when I had enough money and was ready to buy a house, Xuexue told me that I could come to her place. She happened to know the boss here. I didn't have much money at the time, and the boss gave me a big discount. I also liked this apartment, so I bought it directly."

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan and frowned slightly after hearing what he said. He didn't say anything, but just watched silently.

Jiang Yu took her to the dressing room he had renovated.

"Mu Wan, you can come and take a look at this cloakroom. I specially had someone renovate it. You can live here in the future. It can accommodate all your clothes."

Su Muwan looked at the cloakroom in Jiang Yu's house, which seemed to be at least three or four times larger than her own. This made her a little confused. Why did this guy renovate such a large cloakroom?
"Why did you make your closet so big? Do you have a lot of clothes?"

Su Muwan remembered Jiang Yu as someone who didn't usually own a lot of clothes. When they were together, Jiang Yu's wardrobe was very simple. Even though he was a male celebrity, his wardrobe certainly wasn't as extensive as that of a female celebrity. In fact, when Jiang Yu went out, his wardrobe was often sponsored by various brands, meaning he only had a few everyday items at home, so he didn't need such a large closet.

But Jiang Yu whispered something into Su Muwan's ear.

"Isn't this specially prepared for you?" Hearing this, Su Muwan's ears suddenly felt hot, and she felt a little ashamed and angry. What was this guy thinking?

He glared at Jiang Yu, turned around and walked out of the cloakroom.

"You...you have a good idea!"

Back in the living room, facing Jiang Yu, Su Muwan directly rejected him coldly.

"No way! I'm not moving in with you!"

Jiang Yu looked at her stubborn look and didn't force her. He just smiled and said.

"Okay, okay, but Mu Wan, I have a room ready for you. You can move in anytime."

Su Muwan snorted coldly and didn't want to bother with this bastard.

This bastard, what is he thinking about? He's thinking about himself, Song Yuqing, and Yang Xue moving in, and he even said that the cloakroom is prepared for them. If they move in and live with this bastard Jiang Yu, what is he thinking about?

What era is this? This guy really thinks he is the emperor.

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan, who was sitting on the sofa with a cold face, smiled, and asked while washing the fruit.

"By the way, Mu Wan, when you came here just now, you said you had something to talk to me about. What is it?"

When Su Muwan heard Jiang Yu say this, she remembered that she came here to see Jiang Yu for a serious matter. Looking at Jiang Yu who walked into the kitchen to wash the fruit, Su Muwan took a sip of water before speaking.

"It's like this. It's summer vacation now, isn't it? You wrote the songs "Those Years" and "If Love Has Providence" for Director Jiang's movie during your graduation season. I haven't released a new song in a while, so I was thinking of releasing a new song during the summer vacation. It would be best if it was related to graduation season, just like your song "Those Years"..."

Su Muwan was dressed coolly today, a small tank top revealing her alluring collarbone, the hint of white beneath it, and the bottomless ravine. She paired it with denim shorts and slippers. Her lovely feet were exposed to the air, her legs white and sexy. She looked pure and voluptuous, a cool yet somewhat sexy presence.

Jiang Yu came out with the washed grapes and saw Su Muwan sitting on the sofa, and started talking.

"Oh, you're going to release a song, right? Are you planning to ask me to write a song for you?"

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan's outfit today. Although it was hot in the summer, it was a good season for men.

Su Muwan seemed to have noticed Jiang Yu's eyes on her. Although they were very familiar with each other and had even seen each other without clothes, she still felt a little shy when Jiang Yu stared at her like that.

"You...why are you looking at me like that? If you don't have it and can't write it, forget it."

Jiang Yu stood there, eating grapes, looking at Su Muwan and saying with a smile.

"Hey, how could there not be? It's just..."

Su Muwan looked at Jiang Yu curiously: "Just what?"

Jiang Yu sat down and whispered something into Su Muwan's ear. Suddenly, Su Muwan's face gradually turned red.

"no!"

Su Muwan directly refused. This bastard...

There was nothing good in my mind, but I actually...

This is absolutely impossible!

Jiang Yu didn't give up: "Hey, Mu Wan, we are already an old couple, let's give it a try."

"no!!"

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan's stern rejection and sighed helplessly.

"Oh, okay, but don't worry, Mu Wan, I will still write a song for you. Who made me love you so much? But it may be a little later. As you know, I'm quite busy lately. I have a lot to do with the animation and the TV series of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", so..."

Su Muwan looked at Jiang Yu and pursed her red lips: "How long will it take?"

Jiang Yu suppressed a laugh. "Well, it should be busy until September. Don't worry, Mu Wan. September is the start of the school year, so it's okay to release this kind of song. I see that your fans are pushing you quite hard, but a month or two of delay is not a big deal."

"but……"

Jiang Yu spoke again: "If Mu Wan is willing to give me some rewards, such as the one I just mentioned, I feel that my inspiration will burst forth and I will be able to write it for you tonight."

Su Muwan glared at the bastard angrily, her face flushed red.

Jiang Yu was not in a hurry. He just sat on the sofa, one hand on Su Muwan's white and sexy legs, and the other hand around Su Muwan's shoulders, waiting for our Muwan to make a decision.

After a while, he leaned close to Su Muwan's ear, breathing hot air.

"Just this once, okay, Mu Wan..."
