"That's right, isn't 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' currently airing on Shanghai TV?"

"Readers and viewers come to the book review section to discuss things every day, and now the calls for you to start a new book are getting louder and louder. What do you think about that?"

Yi Yang had been prepared ever since he received Chen Mo's call.

But there's no rush right now; let's get both scripts out first.

Anyway, the TV series is currently airing and Yi Yang has been paying attention to it. It will take at least another half month for it to finish airing, so there's no rush.

"Mr. Chen, I still have some things to finish. I'll post something later saying that I'll release the new book as soon as the TV series 'Tianlong' finishes airing. Is that alright?"

Chen Mo also felt it was quite reasonable. He hadn't expected immediate results, and now that he had a definite answer, he felt relieved.

"Okay, let's do it your way! But you have to remember, you came from our novel platform, so never forget your family."

"Don't worry, that won't do. From now on, I'll call you Brother Chen. How does that sound?"

"Okay! Let's leave it at that for now! If we're free sometime, let's get together for a meal."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements then."

After hanging up Chen Mo's call, Yi Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Chen Mo's side has indeed provided a lot of help along the way, so the term "family" is actually quite apt.

Even his own screenwriter, "Fox," is quite responsible, and Yi Yang has a very good impression of him.

After calming himself down, Yi Yang threw himself back into writing.

............

Inside a restaurant, Cai Yi was having dinner with two artists from her company, Hu Ge and Naza.

Naza's scenes in "Scarlet Heart" have finished, and she was originally planning to return to Kyoto, but Cai Yi called her to Shanghai.

Hu Ge had just finished filming a movie and had just returned.

"Mr. Cai, I'd like to take a break for a while and recharge myself. What do you think?"

"Xiao Hu! I don't object to you taking a break, but the company has already accepted some gigs for you, so it wouldn't be good to break the contract!"

Hu Ge frowned upon hearing this.

He was very grateful to Cai Yi for recognizing his talent, but since joining the company all these years ago, he has been constantly filming and attending events.

There really wasn't any proper rest.

In this world, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" hadn't even been written yet, and Hu Ge certainly hadn't experienced the car accident, so his development had always been smooth sailing, except for being a bit tiring.

In addition, the contract initially signed with Sugarman was just a regular artist contract with a 3:7 split.

Although artists earn a considerable income, after paying personal income tax, the actual amount they receive is not much.

Hu Ge was genuinely feeling physically and mentally exhausted, which is why he brought it up himself.

Unexpectedly, I was met with a cold shoulder.

Cai Yi's words were a disguised form of rejection.

Thinking back to the news that the company's co-founder, director Li Guoli, was leaving, Hu Ge felt a little sad.

However, since he had already been politely declined, Hu Ge couldn't insist any further, as his contract still had two years left, and making a scene would only make things worse for everyone.

"Okay, Mr. Cai, I understand."

"Um......"

After hearing this, Cai Yi nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, thinking about the dinner invitation I had made to Yi Yang that afternoon, my mood became a little unpleasant.

Cai Yi has been paying attention to the new company jointly created by Tencent and Golden Flower, and after hearing some rumors today, she went to verify it herself.

I never expected that Yi Yang, this young screenwriter, would suddenly become the client.

According to publicly available business information, Yi Yang owns 15% of the shares in the new company, which gives him considerable influence.

That's how we ended up having dinner together today.

However, to my surprise, I was rejected.

Cai Yi certainly wouldn't believe the excuse of being "busy," but she couldn't very well argue against it.

Now, recalling the dinner last time, it seems that Hu Ge and he got along quite well.

He asked it directly right then and there.

"Hu Ge, have you been in contact with Yi Yang recently?"

Hu Ge, who was feeling a bit down, was almost caught off guard when he suddenly heard Cai Yi's question.

"Ah...no, I'm busy filming. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Hu Ge's answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in Cai Yi's eyes.

"Didn't you want to take a break recently? I can help you cancel your upcoming engagements, but you need to contact Yi Yang more often. It would be best if you could take your relationship a step further and become buddies."

"Forehead......."

After hearing Cai Yi's words, Hu Ge was also a little confused and couldn't understand.

Even Nazar, who was standing next to him, looked over curiously after hearing Yi Yang's name.

At this moment, Cai Yi seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She immediately explained, "You should know that a while ago, Jin Hua led a large group of artists to leave Huayi, right?"

Hugo and Nazar nodded in agreement.

Cai Yi continued, "After that, Jin Hua joined Tencent and they started a new company together."

"There are rumors circulating in the industry today that iQiyi wants to swallow Huayi, which has a market value of only one-third, in order to target Tencent and prevent it from becoming a monopoly."

“We media companies below are also paying close attention to this matter. Who knows if we'll be targeted by these giants one day?”

"Today, I also saw a piece of news by chance that Yi Yang has become a shareholder of the new company Penguin Changtian Media, holding 15% of the shares."

"You could say he rose to the top in one step."

After Cai Yi finished speaking, Hu Ge and Nazar were both dumbfounded.

The last time we met, he was a screenwriter. How long has it been, and he's already a company shareholder?

Hugo felt that this world was a bit magical.

After regaining his senses, Nazar exclaimed with shining eyes, "Wow... Yi Yang is amazing!"

After seeing the two of them, Cai Yi smiled slightly.

Her own little scheme began to take shape.

"Hu Ge, didn't you want to play some groundbreaking roles? Try spending more time with Yi Yang, maybe you'll find something useful."

“And then there’s Nazar. Yi Yang is about your age, so you two will definitely have things in common. If he could help you write a script, you could avoid a lot of detours.”

“Look at Yang Qingxue, just one script for ‘Three Lives Three Worlds’ has increased the valuation of Jiaxue Media by so much.”

"There's also that newcomer named Le Ba, who became a second-tier actress right after her debut just because she played a charming supporting role."

“In my eyes, Nazar, you are much prettier than that Leba. There’s no reason why you should be doing worse than her.”
