HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

1 month 2 day.

After a night of buzz, the popularity of "Happy Camp" soared even higher.

The show's immense popularity kept Wang Bingwen awake all night with excitement.

On the morning of the 2nd, he skipped his holiday and went straight to his office, also calling Long Hai, Luo Xin, He Ling, Li Weijia and others over.

Laughter filled the office.

Longhai, holding last night's data, reported:

"Commander, our peak viewership last night reached 4.2%, which can be said to be the highest viewership record in our station!"

Even the ratings for "The Same Song" were suppressed by us.

"4.2! Haha~!"

Wang Bingwen leaned back in his chair, threw his head back, and laughed heartily. He hadn't been this happy in years.

This achievement proves that his "second entrepreneurial venture" has been a success!

He Ling and Li Weijia also joined in with praise and sighs.

After exchanging compliments for a while, Wang Bingwen asked Long Hai a question.

"Have you analyzed how effective the performances of each program and individual last night were?"

Which program saw the peak viewership?

"All the programs performed very well, and the ratings kept increasing. The peak occurred at the end, so it's not very meaningful for reference."

But if we're talking about the reverse, it has to be Liu Yifei's "One Person, Two Immortals" (a reference to a character from a Chinese novel).

Looking at the report, Long Hai continued:

"It includes Xu Lang's photography skills and effects. Since the program aired last night, many people have been curious about how Xu Lang filmed it."

At this point, he glanced at He Ling, then emphasized the following:

"Yang Ying's Happy Kitchen and Liu Yan's Reflection in the Mirror have received particularly good feedback, especially Yang Ying, who has now become an idol for young people."

Liu Yan's popularity is also steadily increasing.

"Yes, that's right, I knew I wasn't mistaken!"

Wang Bingwen nodded, then said to Long Hai:

"Aren't Yang Ying and Liu Yan both Xu Lang's people? Tell him that we've kept these two people and will make these two shows a regular feature on 'Happy Camp'."

"Okay, I'll inform them in a bit."

Hearing this, He Ling couldn't help but sigh. She silently took out her phone and sent Xie Na a text message:

"It's over, you're out of luck. Your position has been taken by the newcomers Yang Ying and Liu Yan!"

After saying all that, Wang Bingwen looked at Long Hai and asked:

"By the way, how has the audience reacted to the drama 'Chinese Paladin'? The purchasing department is waiting for feedback to decide on the purchasing model and price."

"It exploded!"

Long Hai directly presented the data: "Right now, our official website is full of people waiting for the premiere of 'Chinese Paladin.' The popularity is estimated to be no less than that of 'My Fair Princess' back then."

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bingwen couldn't help but sneer and said irritably:

"I told those idiots in the purchasing department not to wait, just book the exclusive premiere in advance."

Now, with this show so popular, it's hard to negotiate with competitors or about pricing.

Wang Bingwen didn't have a specific role in purchasing TV series, so he could only watch helplessly.

This information quickly reached Xu Lang's ears.

In particular, he contacted Cai Yinong early on regarding the release of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

As soon as the call connected, Cai Yinong excitedly said:

"Xu Lang, you're amazing! The effect last night was fantastic. I'm sure our TV series will be released without any problems."

This is also what Xu Lang wanted to talk about.

"Mr. Cai, I've received word that Hunan TV has confirmed their intention to purchase. As for whether it's an exclusive deal or a deal with multiple companies, you're the experts there, so I won't worry about that. I'm just waiting to get my share of the profits."

Hearing the words "split the money," Cai Yinong felt a pang of heartache.

Given the current momentum, the overall issuance price could potentially increase by one or two times.

All told, each episode costs three to four hundred thousand. If half of that is given to Xu Lang, it would be at least five to six million.

Five or six million!

However, Cai Yinong is also a person who is capable of great things. She also knows that without Xu Lang, she would not have been able to earn this money. She is already very satisfied to be able to earn an extra five or six million.

Moreover, she was determined to strengthen her cooperation with Xu Lang in the future.

Thinking of this, she said to Xu Lang:

"Good brother, don't worry, I won't shortchange you a single penny, and I'll even give you a big red envelope as a thank you."

"Haha, then thank you, Mr. Cai."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang pondered the next steps in his room.

Meanwhile.

A Mercedes-Benz drove into the Jiuzhaigou International Resort Hotel.

A beautiful woman got out of the car.

After getting off the bus, she took out her phone and made a call.

The call was quickly connected, and Liu Xiaoli's voice came through:

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, Aunt Liu, I am Li Xue from Huayi Brothers."

I've arrived in Jiuzhaigou.

"Li Xue?"

Upon hearing this name, Liu Xiaoli immediately recalled what the person she had spoken to before had said:

"Our co-general manager at Huayi Brothers may approach you to discuss cooperation."

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli was both surprised and delighted.

"You've arrived? So quickly?"

"When it comes to getting things done, you can't just dawdle."

"Oh, right, right, I'll come down and get you right away."

A moment later, Liu Xiaoli took Li Xue back to her room.

Liu Yifei was very surprised to see Li Xue, wondering what her mother meant.

However, being sensible, she didn't ask any questions, but just listened quietly.

Li Xue glanced at Liu Yifei and secretly admired her.

"She truly is a rare and stunning beauty!"

Thinking of this, she said sincerely:

"I watched 'Happy Camp' last night. Sisi's performance of playing two immortals was truly amazing. Her future is limitless."

"Yes, you're complimenting me."

Liu Xiaoli agreed smugly while feigning politeness.

After exchanging a few more words, Li Xue got straight to the point:

"Aunt Liu, Xixi, I'll be frank. I've come here today specifically to discuss Xixi joining Huayi Brothers."

"Um?"

Before Liu Xiaoli could speak, Liu Yifei, who was standing next to her, froze, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Liu Xiaoli.

"When did you say you wanted to switch companies? Isn't it great working at your sugar daddy's company?"

However, now was not the time to ask; she could only listen.

At this moment, Li Xue took a document out of her bag and handed it to Liu Xiaoli.

"This is our sincerity, please take a look."

Liu Xiaoli took the document, glanced at it, and her hands trembled slightly, her breathing quickened.

Liu Yifei looked over curiously and saw the following:

"Signing fee: 1 million yuan;"

A dedicated team, guaranteed top-tier status and corresponding benefits;

Each year, she plays the lead role in one film directed by a renowned director.

...

Upon seeing these conditions, even the usually composed Liu Yifei couldn't help but gasp.

She herself never imagined that she would be worth 100 million!

Liu Xiaoli's heart was pounding with excitement; these three conditions were indeed very tempting.

A surge of emotion welled up inside her, and her lips trembled.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei was afraid that she would agree immediately, so she quickly stopped her and said to Li Xue:

"Mr. Li, this is a big deal. Please give us some time to think about it. We will give you an answer in a few days."

"good!"

Li Xue also knew that this matter could not be accomplished in one go, and she was already mentally prepared for it.

Immediately, she stood up and said:

"This is indeed a serious matter and should be given serious consideration."

"Then I'll take my leave."

With that, she got up and walked out.

She stopped at the door, turned to Liu Yifei, and asked,

"By the way, Sisi, isn't Xu Lang, the one who took the picture of you with two immortals, here too?"

Liu Yifei didn't know why she was looking for Xu Lang, but she still said:

"Xu Lang? Yes, he's here."

"Could you tell me his room number? I need to talk to him about something."

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said:

"He's in number 908."

"Okay, thank you."

Li Xue walked outside, pondering to herself.

"This time, ostensibly it's for Liu Yifei, but the more important target is Xu Lang."
