American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Afterwards, she even had the leisure to thank Mike properly before having the butler escort him out of the villa.

"Mia, you'll stay here for the next few days. I'll have someone bring your mother over later." In the luxurious villa, Queen Renadi arranged for her granddaughter to stay in a guest room.

Clearly concerned for the safety of her family, Her Majesty the Queen was not as calm as she appeared.

After the butler returned from seeing the guests off, Queen Renardi continued, "Joe, go and gather my guards. From now on, security around the villa needs to be strengthened..."

Upon receiving the instructions, the butler gradually lost his gentle demeanor, and his eyes turned cold.

Next, Mr. Joe first called the captain of the Kingdom Guard, who was lurking in the town of Deford, to summon him, and then went to his room to prepare some defensive weapons.

Not long after, Mr. Qiao, fully armed, met the reporters who had rushed to the scene outside the villa.

Then, with an imposing presence that seemed to hold off ten thousand men, he blocked the group of reporters from their tracks.

Chapter 299 Returning to China Early

Weekend afternoon, living room of Regina's large villa.

Mike, the three girls from the "Devil Body Group," and Lina and the others were comfortably lounging on the sofa watching a documentary on TV.

Thanks to the extra work of the Texas television station, Mike's coming-of-age documentary has been completed.

The emotionally charged narration on television, combined with exciting clips from Mike's football game, gave the documentary a thrilling and exhilarating feel.

At the end of the more than one-hour documentary, there were also interviews with some of Mike's teammates, coaches, school leaders, and even passersby.

It can be said that the entire documentary portrays Mike in a comprehensive way as someone with strong athletic ability and a sunny and cheerful personality.

This image is very appealing, and it has a market not only among young people but also among adults.

"Congratulations, Mike! You're way more famous than our 'Devil Body Group' now. We've really benefited from your fame this time..." Regina smiled jokingly after watching the documentary.

At this moment, on the table in Regina's living room, there were still various local entertainment daily newspapers.

Most of the color-printed headlines featured Mike's image, including a cool picture of Mike clinking glasses when he won the Summer League, as well as gossip pictures of him with women on either side.

This made him a darling of the internet.

In reality, a regional league championship wouldn't generate this much buzz, but with Mike's exceptional good looks and the rumored romance with a princess from a neighboring country, his fame seemed to take flight.

Meanwhile, the "Devilishly Beautiful" group, who were on the other side of the scandal, also benefited from this wave of attention.

Their new album this year has sold tens of thousands more copies in the last two days.

However, Miracle Company also knew when to stop. The three girls of the Devil Body Group debuted with the image of country girls, and they will continue to follow the girl-next-door route for the next few years.

So, despite the huge amount of traffic generated by this scandal, Miracle Company, considering the girls' long-term development, still did a public relations job to clarify the scandal for them, even though the girls were somewhat unwilling.

In exchange, Miracle Company agreed to let the girls "rest" for two more days in the town of Deford.

Today is the second day.

“Mike, I’ve been learning yoga lately. Would you be interested in checking it out?” Regina, dressed in revealing clothing and lounging on the sofa, asked provocatively.

The three girls from the "Devil Body Group" usually present a pure and innocent image to the public, but in front of Mike, an acquaintance, they seem to be the same as before.

Seeing the girl's straightforward manner, Mike was about to issue a challenge.

But just then, his personal phone rang.

"Mike, you'd never guess how many views your documentary got in real time..." Jack's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Could it be more than ten percentage points?" Mike guessed casually.

"Very close, just a tiny bit short." Jack, clearly excited and eager to share the good news, didn't keep everyone in suspense: "It's a full thirteen percentage points! That's practically a miracle..."

Nowadays, television is widely used in households, and a 13% viewership rating means that 13 out of 100 households with televisions watched this documentary.

If each family has three members, the population base is already quite large.

With extensive promotion, Mike has become the hottest celebrity in Texas right now.

Jack, who produced the documentary, will obviously also benefit from this wave of success.

With his achievements in documentary filmmaking, his future career path at the television station will undoubtedly be smooth sailing.

This is also the main reason why Jack was so excited.

"And there's more good news! Your posters have already sold over 200,000 copies thanks to this hype, and they'll only sell more in the coming days..." Jack, unaware of Mike's true net worth, continued excitedly, "Congratulations, Mike, you're about to become a rich man."

The poster production cost is not high; the main point is to "exchange" brand awareness for money.

Even if each poster sells for one dollar, then over two hundred thousand posters would amount to over two hundred thousand dollars. If the profits are split 50/50, Mike would probably get over ten thousand dollars.

Of course, Jack and his team also received tens of thousands.

"Same to you, same to you~" Mike replied with a smile, then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

However, a dividend of over 100,000 was not a big deal for Mike, whose assets in the stock market had already doubled.

He hung up the phone shortly afterward.

"Whose call was that? Is something good happening?" Regina asked as she watched Mike hang up the phone with a smile.

"It's about the poster distribution. I made over ten thousand US dollars this time..." Mike didn't hide anything and briefly explained his cooperation with the TV station.

"Tch, with your current fame, making money isn't difficult." Regina, already in the world of fame and fortune, understood how fame could be monetized: "If you wanted, you could be the face of Karen's beef burgers; you could probably earn a million a year in endorsement fees..."

In fact, apart from Ge Leiqin, who comes from a working-class family, the other three girls are from wealthy families, so tens of thousands of US dollars is not a big deal for them either.

Moreover, the girls' current professions have broadened their horizons.

In this era, a good album can cost anywhere from ten to several tens of dollars. In terms of earning power, singers even earn more than movie stars.

Earning power often represents social status.

“Okay, let’s not talk about that anymore. I just want to see how your yoga is going…” Mike rolled over and pulled Regina up.

Then, the other three girls joined in the yoga training.

[Flexibility +1]... [Flexibility +1]... [Holy Lance Experience +1]...

Meanwhile, in Queen Renadi's large suburban villa, a television set was just finishing playing Mike's personal documentary.

In recent days, to ensure the safety of the Queen and her family, the villa has been surrounded by a team of fully armed bodyguards who are patrolling around the clock.

"Have you found out who leaked the information?" Queen Reinadi, sitting as elegantly as ever, had several entertainment dailys from various regions in front of her, in addition to the television.

“We’ve found out. It’s Paul. The stylist who did Mia’s hair.” Mr. Joe said seriously, “Should I give him a warning?”

Because Princess Mia's makeover was to be kept secret from the Genovese royal family, her stylist was a local from Migo.

It was under these circumstances that Paul was brought in by Queen Reynardi through the embassy, ​​from the Big Apple, as a renowned stylist.

This stylist is indeed highly skilled, but their professional ethics seem questionable.

Having signed a confidentiality agreement beforehand, he clearly sold Princess Mia's identity to the newspaper for profit.

"Let the embassy handle the communication; I just want the results. Also, have someone deal with these newspaper articles." As a queen, Reina Di had a strong side.

The stylist's leak has been characterized as a diplomatic incident by Queen Reynardi in a single sentence.

It's easy to imagine that his fate won't be good this time.

"And what's the situation in Genovya?" Queen Renadi continued to ask.

"This is not good. It seems someone over there is deliberately spreading rumors about Princess Mia..." Mr. Qiao's expression became even more serious as he said this.

Only two days have passed, and the rumors surrounding Mia, the future princess of the kingdom, have already spread like wildfire throughout Genovya. It would be strange if no one were behind all of this.

Moreover, the identity of the mastermind behind this is quite easy to guess.

These are simply Queen Renadi's political enemies within the Genovese royal family, and these people are unwilling to see the Queen cultivate another qualified heir.

"I see~" Queen Renadi fell into deep thought after listening to the report.

The small country of Genovia had previously maintained a primitive agricultural economy, and only in recent years, after the discovery of abundant mineral resources, has it adopted an industrial management model.

Queen Reynadi advocated for sustainable and people-friendly development, which involved using the profits from the kingdom's annual mining operations to subsidize the agricultural economy and make people's lives more prosperous.

However, Queen Reynaldi's actions to benefit the people displeased many members of the royal family and ministers of the kingdom.

They believed that more farmers in the kingdom should be involved in mining to generate more profits for the kingdom.

It can be said that the conflict between the two sides' "interest" teams has already become a class conflict.

"There's less than a month until the Genovia royal family banquet..." Queen Renadi suddenly asked, "Mia, I'd like to take you back to Genovia beforehand? And Helen, you haven't been home for many years either."

Clearly, what is happening in Genovyane has led Queen Reina to consider returning home ahead of schedule.

Chapter 300 Returning Home Ahead of Schedule (Continued)

Genovia is currently undergoing a transition from old to new economic models, and the will of the next kingdom's leader will determine the development prospects of this small country for the next few decades or even centuries.

This is why Queen Reynaldi valued her granddaughter so much.

She wanted to groom Mia into a queen who, like herself, cared about the livelihoods of her people.

"What will happen to the school if I leave?" Mia didn't understand her grandmother's intentions yet, but she was having a conflict with Mike and did have the idea of ​​running away.

Perhaps going to Genovia to relax would be a good choice.

“Joe will ask for leave for you at the school,” Queen Renadi replied.

Mia seriously underestimated the influence of a member of the royal family; in fact, she could attend any school anytime she wanted.

This includes several of the top universities in the United States.

“Okay, I’m willing to go and see the place where my father lived.” With no more worries, Mia agreed to the suggestion of returning home early.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that she doesn't know how to face Mike at school now.

Clearly, escaping, though shameful, is very useful.

"And what about you, Helen?" Queen Renardi turned to look at Mia's mother.

For Mia, Genovia was a completely unfamiliar place, but having familiar relatives with her would help her adapt to local life more quickly.

Compared to her daughter, Helen actually understood better what Mia was about to face. The mother pondered for a moment and said, "I will always be with Mia, sheltering her from the wind and rain."

Helen, who had previously separated from her husband due to her discomfort with the rigid rules and regulations of the royal family, has now resolutely chosen to return to Genovia for the sake of her daughter.

"Very well, then it's decided." Seeing Helen and her daughter's choice, Queen Renadi smiled with satisfaction, and then continued, "Don't worry! With me here, no one in Genovia can bully you."

No matter how much the radicals in Genovia stir things up, Queen Renadi is ultimately the true leader of the kingdom.

She has the confidence to protect her family.

Then, Her Majesty instructed the butler to arrange their return trip home.

Once only the three ladies remained in the room, Queen Renadi, like an elder showing concern for a younger person, asked with concern, "Mia, tell me. What exactly is the situation between you and Mike now?"

In the past two days, Her Majesty has learned a great deal about Mike's philandering ways from the newspapers and from the butler.

She was actually quite satisfied with Mike, the young man; he was smart, handsome, and quick-witted.

It's not allowed to bully her granddaughter.

The reason Queen Renadi hasn't gone after Mike yet is that she wants to gauge her granddaughter's attitude first.

"I...I don't know either..." Mia said with a complicated expression.

When the girl first learned Mike's "true" colors, she was actually very angry. But after two days, she calmed down and seemed less angry.

Mia still felt a pang of heartache when she saw Mike's intimate moments with other girls in the newspaper.

"Let the young people handle their own affairs. Besides, I believe in my daughter's charm." Seeing her daughter's dilemma, Helen quietly gave her a thumbs-up to encourage her.

This mother, brimming with artistic talent, has always been supportive of her daughter's romantic relationships.

If you like it, just grab it!

"Alright~" Seeing that her granddaughter still had deep feelings for Mike, Queen Renadi did not press her further. Instead, she said kindly, "Feelings are part of growing up. If you have any troubles in this regard in the future, you can always come and talk to me or your mother."

Time flew by, and when it was time to go back to school, Mia had already accompanied her grandmother and mother on a flight to Genovia.

At the same time, all the gossip about the girl in entertainment magazines disappeared overnight, as if it had never happened.

Clearly, this is Queen Renadi's side making a move.

As for Mike, after seeing off the three girls from the "Devil Body Group," he received a call from the butler.

On the phone, the butler informed him of Princess Mia's itinerary in a serious tone.
