How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 54 Taking the First Step (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
After Jiang Yu left, he didn't stay in the hotel arranged by the production team. After all, he had already withdrawn from the competition, so it was impossible for him to stay in the hotel provided free of charge by the production team.

As for Warner, haha, after the semifinals air, the internet will definitely go viral, and then they'll use it to shift the blame back. They don't want to make things easy for me, and I don't want to make things easy for them either.

Jiang Yu has returned to Zhonghai. Since he doesn't have a house, he's temporarily renting a hotel suite. Now that he has money, he can't let himself suffer. This time, he appeared on five episodes of "The Voice of God," earning 2.5 million yuan per episode. Now he has over 10 million yuan in his pocket. As for his debts, he'll pay them off when he earns enough.

At the current rate of earning, I could repay the 20 million yuan debt in less than half a year. Of course, the prerequisite is that I have to have a job.

Apart from "Haha Travel Group", Jiang Yu has no other announcements.

Two episodes of "Haha Travel Group," each earning 2.8 million, only made a little over 5 million. Adding the 12 million or so I had in my pocket now, it was still less than 20 million.

However, it wasn't long before the debt was due, and Jiang Yu felt uncomfortable carrying the debt. Although he could delay it, he didn't want to feel burdened.

“But you still have to make money.”

Even though he was almost out of debt, turning things around was still a struggle. Jiang Yu no longer wanted to be just an entertainer; he wanted to be part of the capital market. So this little money wasn't enough. Simply being an entertainer and making money would be enough to provide for his family, but it was still far from his goal, so he had to build his own entertainment empire.

Now that I have traveled to this world and have so many extremely clear entertainment works in my mind, I must not waste them.

Jiang Yu has a clear plan for his future. He wants to be the godfather of the entertainment industry, a capitalist, and let others work for him to make money.

"Let's first see how the first side business is going. This is a big copyright business."

Jiang Yu pulled out his computer and opened the backend of Yuedian Chinese. His last novel, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," had passed review and had been updated to 30,000 words. However, it was still undergoing contract review, and it wasn't being reviewed by the original editorial team. He had originally been an editor in Group 14, but they hadn't chosen to sign the book. At 30,000 words, the book had been placed in the pool of all editorial teams, awaiting review and signing by other editors.

"Well, the first step seems a bit difficult."

He thought about how he had so many works, how the entertainment industry was so developed, and how lucrative writing was. Even some of the top authors could earn as much as celebrities through their works. Many of these authors, through their works and numerous copyrights, had secured a seat at the table of capital.

Jiang Yu's entertainment empire couldn't be without these copyrighted works. He envisioned acquiring these works to make money for himself now, so that when he later opened his own company, he could own the copyrights, forming a closed-loop industry where he could promote his own artists and sell them to investors and the original authors, earning a lot of money.

But now it seems that signing a contract is a bit difficult.

Jiang Yu felt a bit of a headache, but he still didn't give up. He planned to wait for all the editorial teams to review it. If it still didn't work, then he would really have to give up this path.

And at this moment, within the editorial team of Yuedian Chinese Network.

Editor Mingyue was reviewing the works in the contract pool. He had to read a lot of them every day. Even many new writers wrote so poorly that he had become numb to them after reading so many of them.

He was a new editor this year, and his performance was among the lowest among all the editors. If his performance continued to decline, he would likely resign by the end of the year. After all, without good performance, there would be no salary or commission. Living on a base salary in a metropolis like Zhonghai City was simply difficult.

"Hmm? Grave Robbers' Chronicles?"

When Mingyue saw the book in the signing pool, the name made him think that it was a newcomer or a big shot. But when he looked at the author, Yu Liufeng, he found that he was a newcomer and not a big shot.

Mingyue didn't want to read the book anymore when she saw the title. A newcomer giving a book such a title is just asking for trouble.

However, due to his editorial duties, he still clicked on the introduction and read the contents. This one glance instantly brightened Mingyue's eyes. His sitting posture also changed from being indifferent at first to sitting upright, leaning forward slightly, staring at the computer screen without blinking, reading the contents of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Gradually, Mingyue finished reading the 30,000 words in one breath.

"Is that it?" He himself did not realize that he was deeply attracted by the book.

At this moment, Mingyue was looking at the book and fell into deep thought.

"Could this book belong to some big shot? The physical one?"

The author is a newcomer, not a pseudonym for any big shot. However, judging by the writing style and the rhythm of the plot, he is definitely not a newcomer. He was drawn to the book without realizing it.

This author has quite good skills.

Thinking of the title of this book, Mingyue felt that this might be a piece of online writing by a big shot in the physical publishing industry.

With the development of the Internet in recent years, online literature has been developing better and better. This has squeezed the living space of the traditional publishing industry, and has also led many publishing giants to join the online literature army.

Mingyue felt that the author of this book "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was probably such a big shot.

and……

He feels that this book is going to be a hit.

Without the slightest hesitation, I saw that the other editors hadn't made any move and no one had signed the book. I guess they all looked at the title and author and thought the author was a newcomer, so they might have passed it by without even reading the content.

"I've really found a good opportunity. I hope this book will really become a hit, so that I won't have to worry about my sales."

Mingyue immediately sent the contract news.

Jiang Yu was typing when he saw a message pop up in the background. It turned out to be the signing news.

I was a little surprised and immediately added the editor’s Penguin account.

His Penguin account has been inactive for a long time. After becoming a celebrity, he deleted and blocked all the space content on the Penguin account. After that, he used WeChat and rarely activated the Penguin account.

Seeing that the author of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" acted so quickly, Mingyue immediately agreed to the application.

"Hello, sir. The subsequent signing link will be sent to you shortly. You can sign online."

Jiang Yu replied with an "ok" gesture, and Mingyue asked curiously.

"Are you new here? I think your book is very well written."

As a new editor, he was always very warm and friendly to authors, because if you are a new editor and are not warm and friendly, you will not be able to snatch authors from the hands of those experienced editors.

"It's a newcomer."

Jiang Yu had already seen the signing link sent from the background. After clicking on it and completing the information, the signing was completed in a short while.

This side business has finally taken its first step.
