As soon as he said it, Xie Qian regretted it. He always lost his principles when dealing with hamsters.
But when he saw Wen Ying happily counting the time on her fingers and calculating how many awards "Lane People" could win, Xie Qian's regret disappeared.
——It’s just an invitation to an award ceremony. Compared with the beacon tower lit by King You of Zhou, what does it matter?
So Xie Qian helped Wen Ying calculate her schedule after the college entrance examination without any psychological burden: "After the exams on June 7th and 8th, I will take you to Shanghai for the awards ceremony. After the awards ceremony, you will go to Beijing Academy of Literature for training. At the end of the month, you can return to Shanghai to participate in the activities of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about the publishing house's event."
Wen Ying muttered, "No reader has redeemed the prize for 'Xun Yong', the copy numbered 'No. 1'. I wonder if it's just sitting in a corner of some bookstore gathering dust!"
Is it because the sales of "Xun Yong" are not good enough, so the copy numbered No. is hidden in the pile of unsold books?
Of course not!
Although "Xun Yong" has only been on the market for two months, the publishing house's editor-in-chief Ding Chao has already discussed with Yuan Fenghui about preparing to reprint it, which shows that "Xun Yong" has been a hot seller since its release.
Xie Qian wasn't worried. "It will show up eventually."
In fact, it’s okay that there’s no “No.” for “Xun Yong”. This will even make it more talked about and stimulate the sales of “Xun Yong”.
Xie Qian even suspected that Yuan Fenghui and the United Publishing House had hidden the "No." number to keep readers in suspense. However, Wen Ying, clever in other matters, hadn't suspected Yuan Fenghui at all, so Xie Qian suppressed his suspicions. Hamsters are good at everything except those they know!
Xie Qian was only concerned about Wen Ying and didn't reflect on himself.
He is very principled towards everyone, but he will easily change his principles when he meets Wen Ying!
It is impossible to reflect on myself. The countdown to the college entrance examination in the upper right corner of the blackboard has become 50 days.
The final sprint before the exam is about to begin.
…
In the next few days, the ratings of "Lane People" continued to rise, and soon confirmed Wen Ying's prediction.
First, it broke 7% in episode 18, and then broke 8% in episode 26!
This drama has a total of 32 episodes.
It premiered on Oriental Channel on April 3rd, with two episodes per day and no broadcasts on weekends. It ended perfectly on April 24th, with a peak viewership rating of 8.85%.
Dongfang TV's producer Xu felt a little regretful and told Gong Sheng, "If 'Longtang People' had a few more episodes, no, even if it had two more episodes, its ratings would have exceeded 9%!"
Regret?
Yes, a little bit.
However, the premiere ratings of 8.85% are also very impressive results.
In addition to ratings, "Lane People" also gained word of mouth.
Needless to say, Xu Mei received the most attention in the whole play with her role as the female supporting role. The other main creators, regardless of whether they were famous or not, were singled out by the audience and praised repeatedly.
Some time ago, public opinion was full of criticism towards Xu Mei, but now the situation has been reversed. The opening and ending songs sung by Xu Mei occupied the major song charts in a very short time. The audience praised Xu Mei for her good acting skills, and fans praised Xu Mei for her good singing skills. Xu Mei, who had become low-key since switching to Jiaxin, has finally become the focus of reporters again!
Unlike before when she relied on her love life to attract headlines, Xu Mei now has works and is more confident when accepting interviews.
Thinking of this, Gong Sheng was very proud and even pretended to be humble in front of Producer Xu:
"Nothing in the world is perfect. If the ratings had really broken 9%, you might have thought about filming a few more episodes to try to break 10%, right? 'Lane Family' was finally edited into 32 episodes, which not only fully presents Mr. Zhang Guangzhen's script but also conforms to the director's understanding. I personally think this is the best version of 'Lane Family' yet."
Producer Xu couldn't find any fault with Gong Sheng's words, and he felt it was a pleasure to cooperate with Jiaxin.
Although the preliminary preparations were a bit complicated, Producer Xu was very impressed by Jiaxin's attitude towards work.
Producer Xu was also very sorry to hear that Gong Sheng would no longer be in charge of film and television business.
Taking advantage of the continued popularity of "Lane Family," Gong Sheng brought Jiang Youjia and Producer Xu to meet several more times. With the company in Shanghai, Oriental TV was Jiaxin's best partner. Jiang Youjia would now oversee Jiaxin's daily affairs, and Gong Sheng constantly reminded himself to learn to let go.
If Gong Sheng doesn't give up power, Jiang Youjia will never have the opportunity to grow.
At a cocktail party held by Oriental TV, Jiang Youjia also met Zhao Dong by chance.
Gong Sheng was afraid that Jiang Youjia would not be able to control himself and beat someone up.
I heard that Zhao Dong set up a scheme to make Jiang Youjia lose millions... If not for this, Jiang Youjia would still be living a leisurely life as a small boss, and would not have fallen into the position of an employee, nor would he have to live apart from his wife Lin Lin.
"Yujia, you have to calm down!"
Gong Sheng reminded in a low voice.
Seeing Zhao Dong again, Jiang Youjia's blood was boiling and the veins on his forehead were prominent.
But Jiang Youjia forced himself to resist the impulse.
"I won't hit him. Hitting people won't solve the problem."
Cao Bo assaulted reporter Cheng from a portal website, but ultimately had to pay compensation to settle the matter. Even if you're right, you shouldn't hit someone. Once you do, even if you're right, you become wrong.
Gong Sheng was skeptical, "Really not going to fight?"
Jiang Youjia nodded vigorously. "I'm here at the party to represent Charles Schwab. I can't cause any trouble for the company."
Being able to say this, Jiang Youjia has indeed matured a lot.
Gong Sheng put his worries to rest a little.
"I'll go ask what Mr. Zhao is doing at the TV station's reception."
Gong Sheng went to inquire about the news, leaving Jiang Youjia alone.
Zhao Dong was talking to someone when he turned around and saw Jiang Youjia. Zhao Dong walked over with a glass of wine.
"Youjia, long time no see. How have you been recently? I heard that your cultural company got into a lawsuit and has to pay the other party several million in compensation. We are friends, so if you are short of money, I can lend you some money first."
Zhao Dong came here to humiliate Jiang Youjia and also wanted to take the opportunity to anger Jiang Youjia.
Zhao Dong knows better than anyone why he got into trouble!
Jiang Youjia chuckled, "I did run into some trouble, but luckily I hired a good lawyer. After two court hearings, I only had to pay the other party 2 million. I'm still young, 2 million won't bring me down."
Yes, the second-instance judgment came out, and Jiang Youjia only had to pay 2 million yuan, which was different from the amount Zhao Dong expected.
2 million can empty Jiang Youjia's pockets but it cannot empty the Jiang family, nor can it shake the Jiang family's foundation.
Besides, Zou Weijun has already left Chengdu, and Xie Qian has received demolition compensation, so the mother and son no longer need Jiang Xuekun's help.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dong suddenly felt that his revenge against Jiang Youjia was very boring.
Zhao Dong found it boring, but Jiang Youjia hated Zhao Dong.
2 million is not a small amount of money.
He also has to endure living apart from his wife.
These are all the evil deeds done by Zhao Dong!
Jiang Youjia wanted to say something, but Gong Sheng waved from a few meters away, so Jiang Youjia left Zhao Dong behind.
"Brother Gong, have you found out?"
Gong Sheng nodded. "Slan Biotechnology, the company owned by Zhao Dong, has a product coming to market, and he wants to advertise it on TV."
