Chapter 79 The Voice of the Entertainment Industry: A Passerby in the Story (11)
After that, Wang Jiyue stopped revealing information, perhaps due to some system limitations. The pace returned to normal, and they played a game for a while. Before leaving, Jiang Yue and Wang Jiyue added each other on WeChat, thus concluding Jiang Yue's mission as a guest. The next day, she received her money.
After finishing the show, Jiang Yue had some free time. A few days later, news broke that Song Hanxi had fallen from grace and might even be imprisoned for a few years. After a few days of rest, Jiang Yue got busy again, participating in various shows and award ceremonies. Over the years, Zhao Qing and Jiang Yue have become minor shareholders of Guagua Entertainment. The assistant is now a powerful figure, and people call her "sister" when they meet her.
When her contract expired, Jiang Yue planned to retire from the entertainment industry. She had had enough fun, and although she had donated 80% of her money, the rest was enough for her to live on for the rest of her life. Even her assistant and Sister Qiao, who had always been with her, had achieved financial freedom. In the end, she couldn't resist Aunt Qing and her assistant's repeated pleas and decided to postpone her retirement for a few more years. The female lead and the male lead hadn't gotten married yet, and according to Jiang Yue's estimate, it would still take quite some time. The male lead's family was still a major obstacle.
Jiang Yue is still in the entertainment industry, partly because of them. She's addicted to gossip, and everyone knows how enjoyable it is to watch the drama unfold. Of course, she hasn't neglected her work either. Perhaps this world was a novel before the female lead transmigrated here, as the technology and skills in this world are much more advanced. In recent years, Jiang Yue has apprenticed under a traditional Chinese medicine master and is also self-studying to improve her Western medical skills.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners can say they've been self-taught since childhood, but Western medicine practitioners can't do anything about it and have to learn on their own. If you have no prior experience, people can believe you if you say you know it. The good thing is that Jiang Yue has some connections and has access to a lot of surgical videos from top doctors. She also goes abroad to practice on animals in her spare time, and over the years she has made some progress.
She also learned quite a few other miscellaneous skills. At first, the assistant was puzzled as to why she needed to learn so many useless things. Jiang Yue said that they would be useful when filming movies, and that they would give people a different feeling than when she acted. Later, Jiang Yue spent several years to win the Best Actress award, and the assistant was extremely impressed.
That noon, Jiang Yue stayed in her study practicing calligraphy instead of going out. Just then, she heard a car horn outside the villa. After finishing her writing, she put down her brush and nodded in satisfaction. This was the most satisfying piece she had written in a while. She put down her brush and walked out of her study. She saw that her assistant had come over.
"Sister Yue! All the outstanding products from this batch have been sent to you. Should we do the usual giveaway and give them directly to our fans?"
Because Jiang Yue has been promoting traditional Chinese products from time to time in recent years, and because she is objective, fair and trustworthy, her fans now check whether Jiang Yue has used anything before buying it. Anything she has used or promoted becomes popular, and everyone rushes to buy it. It only took a few years for her to go from being ignored to frequently out of stock, and she has revitalized countless national enterprises.
At first, people offered her money to promote her products, but Jiang Yue never accepted it. Later, she couldn't resist the constant requests, so she left an address. People who were confident in her products would send her samples, and if she found them to be good after using them, she would recommend them for free. Whether they were good or not was not something Jiang Yue could say subjectively.
She built her own comprehensive laboratory and testing room, which screened out many products in the first round. After passing the tests, she would have people conduct cross-inspections to check the hygiene conditions, whether the company was unscrupulous, and so on. Only after passing through five checkpoints and defeating six generals would the product appear on the recommended list. Therefore, many fans now say that looking at the national standards is not as good as looking at Jiang Yue's recommended products.
This has taken away the profits of many unscrupulous businesses. During this time, she has been smeared with countless accusations, and some extreme individuals have even come forward with knives to launch personal attacks. Various people have also complained online, saying that Jiang Yue has ruined their families' livelihoods, that their children can no longer afford to go to school, and that their children's father almost committed suicide after going bankrupt. Fortunately, Jiang Yue is upright and has fans who support her, and she also has the help of the government behind the scenes, which is why she has managed to get to where she is today without any major incidents.
"Hmm, let's do a giveaway on Weibo sometime. We haven't been posting much lately, so giving out more gifts will help calm everyone down. Isn't it trendy to give away the first gold bar of autumn these days? My follower count just recently surpassed 100 million, so let's prepare 1,000 10-gram gold bars and give them away too."
"Okay, I've got it. I'll talk to someone about it when I get back to the company." After Jiang Yue finished explaining, the assistant left. Originally, the assistant was only supposed to serve Jiang Yue, but after Jiang Yue renewed her contract, she became much more laid-back. So the company consulted Jiang Yue's opinion and arranged for her to mentor two new people. After all, Jiang Yue had the intention to retire from the entertainment industry, and there was a place to dispose of some of the resources she didn't need.
After the assistant left, Jiang Yue washed the calligraphy brushes and put them away. These were works by a master and were very hard to buy. Jiang Yue had spent a lot of money to buy just a few, and she usually couldn't bear to use them.
After tidying up her desk, Jiang Yue went to the living room, picked up the contracts on the table and looked at them. There were invitations to participate in variety shows, invitations to be mentors in talent shows, and an invitation to be a mentor in the latest season of The Voice of China. This Voice of China was a show that Jiang Yue modified. She was a mentor once in the first season and hasn't been back since.
Like all shows, the first two episodes were great, but it got worse and worse afterward. People from TV stations and various entertainment companies were mixed together, and each side had its own ideas and wanted their own people to be the champion. Gradually, it became impure, and even Jiang Yue, as the founder, couldn't change that.
After reviewing a pile of offers and contracts, Jiang Yue didn't choose any of them. She had finally managed to have a few years of peace and quiet to learn something, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Some people even called her directly. Jiang Yue refused all the ones she could, but there were always some she couldn't refuse, like this one now: "Director Yang, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say."
The call was from Director Yang. He had taken good care of her since she entered the industry. This time, he was talking about something else, so it was obvious that he had something to say. He probably knew that Jiang Yue didn't want to do anything lately and had rejected many people, but he still called. So, he probably couldn't refuse this matter.
"Ahem, Jiang Yue, I'll be frank. This is a friend of mine. His daughter is back from H country and is preparing to release an album. Since it's her first album since returning home, she's taking it very seriously. The album is missing a title track, and her dad, who has helped me many times before, has come to me this time, asking me to help connect his daughter with you. Do you have time to commission a song for her?"
