Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

The members of the "Produce 101" production team were extremely excited to have created such a phenomenal variety show.

Now that Coolcat has been acquired by Alibaba, its job level and performance bonuses are distributed according to Alibaba's system.

With the "Produce 101" project as a safety net, I'm sure I can get a 3.75 (excellent) performance rating this year, which means I can get at least 6 months' worth of year-end bonus!

If you reach P6 or above, you can get at least 18!

The higher the rank, the more generous the reward.

With such encouragement, everyone's enthusiasm for work was naturally very high, and they listened attentively to all the arrangements and plans for the tenement building.

Tang Lou has established a firm foothold on KuMiao Video. With the KuMiao team's capabilities, the filming and release of subsequent programs are no longer a major concern.

After securing the first project, Tanglou began to consider its future development.

2015 was a rare bull market, and on the very first day of its rebirth, Tanglou had already begun its strategic planning.

It's already May, time to reap the first harvest.

As a second-generation factory worker in Hecheng, Tang Lou had social connections that allowed him to get a job at Lantai after graduation, and he had access to a considerable amount of funds.

When he first joined Lantai, his parents bought him a large apartment in Hangzhou. Before that, when the bull market started, Tanglou had raised a total of five million yuan through mortgage loans, personal savings, and New Year's money, and invested it all in the stock market.

After opening Tonghuashun, Tang Lou began to check his earnings so far.

He bought three stocks in total: Baofeng Technology, Chinese Online, and Eastmoney.

Several stocks have seen gains of over 1800% as of today!

In total, the assets of the tenement building have reached nearly a small goal!

Besides the small goal, Tanglou also had a backup plan, which was to buy the copyright of Tang Qi's "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" in advance.

Based on my experience from the previous life, this copyright was purchased for three million after Jiaxing Media completed its performance-based agreement.

Therefore, at this point in time, Tanglou still has plenty of time.

This phenomenal drama in 2017 was also the key to Yang Mi's ability to fulfill the betting agreement. This one drama alone earned him nearly 2 million yuan in net profit!

It was also because of this drama that Jiaxing Media's market value skyrocketed.

Afterwards, the TV series rights for "Eternal Love" reached a staggering 600 million yuan!

Tang Lou's next plan is to win over Yang Mi, film "Eternal Love," and make Dilraba a star.

After finalizing the plan, Tanglou immediately began cashing out his stocks.

While waiting for my money to arrive, I also started contacting Yang Mi and the operations department of Zhonglian Literature through industry connections.

However, Yang Mi was quite busy, so the appointment was scheduled for later, which gave Tang Lou the opportunity to acquire the copyright to "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and was also beneficial for subsequent negotiations.

Tang Qi's story is serialized on Zhonglian Literature, so copyright matters only require direct contact with Zhonglian Literature's operations department.

Although "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was later the original work of a phenomenal TV series, it has not yet had a significant impact.

During its serialization on the website, it only ranked relatively low on the bestseller list.

Therefore, after receiving the intention to purchase the copyright of Tanglou, the operations department was eager to complete the transaction.

After a very brief exchange, Tanglou directly negotiated the purchase of the copyright for three million.

The sale of copyrights for novel websites is already very mature, convenient, and fast.

In just one week, the tenement building completed the negotiation of terms, signed the contract, and changed the registration.

Zhonglian Literature Network, author group.

Tang Qi excitedly posted a screenshot of her monthly royalties.

"The sudden appearance of a copyright fee startled me."

A screenshot showing the royalties: 162 million!

Upon seeing this information about payment for writing, the group chat exploded with excitement.

Wow, Sugar Seven is so awesome! I'm so envious!

"I envy the big shots who own copyrights."

"I'm speechless. The copyright fee for one book is 150 million yuan, which is equivalent to my royalties for ten years."

"I'll go read this masterpiece right away. I look forward to the day it's adapted into a film or television series."

"As expected of a big shot, he casually made 1.5 million!"

"I'm really looking forward to the film and television version; I'm sure it will be a huge hit."

Many authors, seeing Tang Qi's royalties, felt envious and secretly worked harder.

...

Jiaxing Media.

Yang Mi and his two partners, Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruo, were having a meeting.

"Currently, our company is facing a severe cash shortage, making it difficult to sign artists, purchase copyrights, or produce programs."

"It seems that we still need to find a capital firm to invest in us as soon as possible."

"If we want to develop better and make great strides, we need to attract investment."

While the two partners were having a headache, Yang Mi hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, Mimi? What's going on here?"

Yang Mi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said shrewdly:

"I did receive an invitation; an investor wants to meet with me to discuss investing in my company."

Upon hearing that there were investors, the two partners immediately revealed greedy eyes.

"Tell me, who is it? Which company owns it?"

Yang Mi shook his head: "It's not capital or an institution. It's an investment made in a personal capacity."

Upon hearing that it was a personal investment, the two partners lost interest.

At most, an individual can only invest a limited amount of money. Moreover, with Yang Mi as a top-tier resource, Jiaxing Media may indeed want funding, but it also values ​​the resources and connections behind the investor.

Simply having money isn't very attractive.

Seeing that his two partners were losing interest, Yang Mi added something else.

"This investor isn't entirely useless. He's currently at Kuma Video, and right after joining, he planned and managed the most popular phenomenon-level variety show, 'Produce 101'!"

"Produce 101?"

Upon hearing about the show's planner, the two partners became interested again.
