Joaquin.

The first half of this year has been a bit hectic.

For Joaquin, the performance in the first half of this year was really mediocre and there was nothing worth showing off.

There have never been any outstanding newcomers. Juno's new album, which was originally expected and produced by several famous artists, received mediocre response after it was released. Not to mention that it is not as popular as Zhao Xiaohan's "Remote Drive", it is not even as popular as the album sales of other new singers...

Although it is not to the point of losing money, it is mediocre and within the performance range of an ordinary newcomer.

Other veteran artists also participate in various variety shows and advertisements with lukewarm success. Although they can maintain a balance between their popularity and various external resources, they have no explosive points.

Overall, Joaquin was still in a dormant period throughout the first half of the year, and this dormant period seemed very long. Although it was making money steadily, it still lacked something.

After looking at the financial report for the first half of the year, Xu Cancan shook her head slightly.

He knew that this was an inevitable situation when a company developed to a certain size.

The company has a lot of resources, but there are not many top-level resources, and it is impossible to concentrate all these resources on one person. With so many people in the company, there are often times when you have to make a trade-off...

The Voice runner-up Juno...

After seeing this newcomer, Xu Cancan felt a little disappointed. The company had given him enough resources, but...

The performance is still very unsatisfactory.

There is no harm without comparison.

Xu Cancan also knew that she couldn't be so demanding on newcomers.

People like Zhao Xiaohan who can write lyrics and compose music for their first album and become popular with the quality of their works are rare in the entire entertainment industry...

Are you talking about Lu Yuan?

All right!

Lu Yuan really can't be considered a human being.

He is a monster.

Lu Yuan...

When the midnight bell rang, Xu Cancan rubbed his eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Lu Yuan and his company.

While Joaquin was developing slowly, Lu Yuan's "remote" entertainment was growing wildly.

Lu Yuan's company has very few artists, and until now it is still like a home workshop.

but……

This company...

It’s too weird!

Xu Cancan calculated it!

Suddenly I was a little surprised.

It seems that every one of the artists in Lu Yuan’s company has top-notch resources, and each of them seems to have the potential to become a hot spot in the entertainment industry.

Xu Cancan shook her head.

I couldn't help but sigh.

But, at this moment...

Her cell phone rang.

When I saw the number, my breath stopped.

Whatever you wish for will come true.

The person calling was Lu Yuan.

"Hello……"

"Hey Mr. Xu...are you still awake?"

"Almost time for bed."

"Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to call you so late. Actually, I just wanted to talk to you..."

"Chat? Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Yuan called Xu Cancan in the middle of the night...

It was this time again, and this point again, and at the same time, Lu Yuan's voice seemed to carry a hint of longing that made Xu Cancan's heart beat.

Xu Cancan suddenly became serious.

"Boss Xu...I have an idea!"

"What do you think?"

"Boss Xu, I think the artists under an entertainment company can be called products. We make money from these products. At the same time, I think the most important thing for an entertainment company is to train and expose newcomers... Newcomers who have just debuted often lack connections, exposure points, and support from others. Over time, newcomers will develop a sense of disappointment in the entertainment industry. Once this mentality emerges..."

“…”

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan chattered on and on to Xu Cancan about problems and difficulties with newcomers and artist exposure. Xu Cancan kept listening, and the more she listened, the weirder it seemed to her.

What is Lu Yuan going to do?

Did he come here in the middle of the night to complain, or was he giving himself a lesson?

As the person in charge of such a large company, how could I not understand these things?

"At the same time, I think that oftentimes, we need some external help and publicity..."

"Lu Yuan! You've said so much, what exactly do you want to do?" When Xu Cancan heard that Lu Yuan was about to give another long speech, she felt helpless and then she shook her head.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, let's get back to the point. We are childhood sweethearts, right?"

"Forget..." After hearing Lu Yuan's four words, Xu Cancan's impatient mood suddenly tightened again, and her body couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, countless memories of her and Lu Yuan appeared in her mind.

he!

What are you doing?

He called me so late and talked about these issues. What on earth was he trying to do? Wasn't he afraid...

"Boss Xu, let me tell you, in fact, you have always held a very important position in my heart. Your position is unique and irreplaceable... Although I didn't recognize you before, as my memory gradually became clearer, I now remember everything. That year, I..."

"..." Lu Yuan chattered on and on about other things, occasionally interspersed with memories.

The memory gradually became clearer with Lu Yuan's voice.

Xu Cancan remained silent, but her nose felt sore.

At this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation, but also a hint of fear in her anticipation.

What on earth does he want to do...

Does he want to?

Could it be that...

this……

He had just officially declared his love to Wang Jinxue, and now he...

But……

this……

"It is precisely because of our relationship that I am always concerned about your Joaquin. I know that Joaquin must have encountered a series of exposure problems. Therefore, after my hard work and reflection these days, I finally let my team create a 'remote' live broadcast platform. I hope that we can establish some deeper cooperation based on our friendship. I formally invite your company team to join our 'remote' platform. Our platform will provide a lot of high-quality publicity and have many exposure packages..."

"..."Xu Cancan's originally complicated expression suddenly froze!

"At the same time, I think our 'remote' entertainment has another advantage, that is, it is the first professional video platform in China that focuses on live broadcasting. It is very different from the live broadcast rooms of those video websites, and it also has a lot of interactions..."

"Lu Yuan! You're advertising on my head in the middle of the night?" Xu Cancan took a deep breath, and his expression instantly became extremely cold.

That touch of emotion, that touch of expectation, that touch of inexplicable guilt all disappeared completely in that instant!

"No, no, no, this is not an advertisement, this is a collaboration, really, please believe me, this is good for you! Really, I can give you VIP privileges, and I can give your company's artists a recommended position on the homepage. Mr. Xu, really, I just thought of you the first time the platform was established because we have been childhood sweethearts. I wouldn't tell other people..."

“…”

“Bang!”

"Hello, hello?"

“…”

Xu Cancan hung up the phone.

However, after she hung up the phone, Lu Yuan called her again.

"Lu Yuan! I want to sleep!"

"Mr. Xu, I am sincere... I hope you won't reject me."

"Lu Yuan, how are you doing in Hollywood?"

"Mr. Xu, let me tell you the truth. I'm having a hard time now. Hollywood is banning me and is very xenophobic. I'm having a hard time now. And to be honest, my previous investment was too big and now I can't get it back. I have a funding gap and a big problem. If the funding chain collapses, I won't be able to hold on... I suffer from insomnia and depression every day. I have to rely on hypnosis to fall asleep almost every day. Now I'm like a gambler, hoping not to lose everything..."

"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim. Tell me how you want to cooperate."

The originally excited voice on the other end of Lu Yuan's phone changed.

Suddenly he started to cry and even his voice was filled with great sadness and despair.

If Xu Cancan didn't know the situation of Lu Yuan's company, she might have been really infected by Lu Yuan's wave of pitifulness.

After listening halfway, she couldn't bear it anymore and finally shook her head!

"Oh, you heard me, it's actually very simple..."

…

“Remote” office.

When Lu Yuan heard Xu Cancan's agreement, a bright smile appeared on his face.

If it can cooperate with Xu Cancan's Joaquin, as long as there is any internet celebrity with traffic like Wei Lai or Han Lu, this live broadcast platform will be able to increase its popularity.

You said they are good at increasing popularity and good at business?

Good thing!

No matter how fake the data is, as long as the hype is big enough, it will always attract a wave of people, right?

The era of traffic is coming. Although this era will not last long,...

It’s OK if we just seize this era, right?

After finishing the call with Xu Cancan, Lu Yuan called An Xiao again.

"Hello……"

"Lu Yuan, it's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping?"

"Ahem, Ahem, An Xiao, I want to work with you on a project. Actually, I think..."

"Is it about your live streaming platform?"

"Ah? You know?"

"Tomorrow, ask Wu Tingting to give the contract to my agent. If there is no problem, I will sign it. Call me during the day. I need to get some beauty sleep at night..."

"oh."

“Pah.”

An Xiao's sudden success made Lu Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't spend the money for selling misery and other things that he had been holding back for a long time...

at last……

He checked the time...

He suddenly realized that calling someone in the middle of the night seemed really weird...

Everyone is busy, who would give themselves the time to be a night owl?

Guilt, guilt.

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the list of "key customers".

He marked it carefully.

I even organized a set of pitiful words and some inspiring cooperation plans in my mind...

Lu Yuan did a lot of homework.

etc!

Why do I feel like a telemarketing pimp right now?

this……

Lu Yuan was stunned.

"bite."

Just when Lu Yuan was about to yawn and go to sleep, his cell phone vibrated.

He looked down.

Then the phone prompted that there was an extra 10 billion RMB in his company account.

Lu Yuan looked at the transferor and then he saw the three words "Wang Jinxue".

He was suddenly stunned.

He then called Wang Jinxue.

Then……

He saw the phone ringing outside the door.

He pushed open the door and saw Wang Jinxue, who was supposed to go back to her villa in Hangzhou to sleep, standing silently outside the door.

"Jinxue, how long have you been waiting outside the door?"

"Not long ago, I just got here too."

"Jinxue, you...didn't you go to sleep over at the villa?"

"I couldn't sleep today. After thinking about it, I decided to come back and sleep." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan, just looking at him quietly.

"Jinxue, what's going on in the company account..." At this moment, Lu Yuan had no other obscene thoughts in his mind, but looked at Wang Jinxue in confusion.

"I know you are short of money recently, and I still have some spare money. You can use it first. I don't want you to call other people everywhere, and I don't want you to beg anyone... You, there is no need to do this. If it is not enough, I will find a way..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan seriously. Although she remained calm, there was a hint of heartache when she looked at Lu Yuan in her usually indifferent eyes.

She had actually been standing outside Lu Yuan's office door.

When she heard Lu Yuan starting to play the victim when he was talking to Xu Cancan on the phone, she felt as if her heart was in a knot and it was uncomfortable.

At that moment, she really wanted to rush into the office and hang up Lu Yuan's phone.

But, she couldn't do that.

Because she knew that this would disturb Lu Yuan.

So she just waited outside the door.

he!

Why don't you ask her if you need money?

Doesn’t she have money?

"I didn't ask anyone for help." Lu Yuan was somewhat touched, but still shook his head: "I am just integrating my own resources... pulling them into our 'remote' platform..."

"Lu Yuan, I understand, but I don't want you to be alone. I also don't want you to bow down to anyone for money. If you need money, just tell me. I still have some money... Although it's not much, I can give it to you anytime you want."

"Uh...Jinxue, don't be so sentimental. My nose is a little uncomfortable. This doesn't fit your aloof personality..."

"Sensational?"

“A little bit…”
