Chapter 213 New Year (1)
2020, January 1, New Year’s Day.
Today is a statutory holiday. Jiang Ningyue stayed at home, chatting with Gu Meng on WeChat while watching her new drama "The Beginning".
Yes, the show is already airing.
Because Jiang Ningyue clicked on it first, there weren't many comments.
Jiang Ningyue and Gu Meng started a video chat, watching the drama live and complaining about the plot, as if they were sitting together.
"The Beginning" dominated the hot searches on major platforms as soon as it was aired.
Lin Chenxi was not short of money, so naturally he spent a lot of money on promoting the drama. I heard that he spent 50 million on publicity and promotion alone.
The subject matter of this drama is considered novel at the moment, and many people couldn't stop watching it after the first episode.
Starting from January 1st, there will be three consecutive days of updates.
During these three days, the number of views and discussions has exploded every day.
The whole drama is not long and can be broadcast before the New Year.
Starting from the seventh episode, the entire drama has been ranked first in the entire network in terms of playback volume and attention.
Ultimately, after its finale, "The Beginning" surpassed 1.5 billion online views, with each episode boasting over 100 million views. It topped the online drama popularity chart for 14 consecutive days, the domestic drama viewing chart for 11 consecutive days, and topped Weibo's trending search list several times.
During the broadcast of this drama, Gu Meng, the female lead, also ate up a lot of traffic, and her videos could be seen everywhere. Jiang Ningyue might have been following her frequently, and now she can see Gu Meng in almost every few videos.
Some people in the county who were not fans of celebrities heard about the drama and started following it.
Of course, this may also have something to do with Jiang Ningyue's guest appearance.
This is also the first and possibly the only TV series that Jiang Ningyue has 'participated' in.
Although the character has very few scenes, many fans have edited it out.
——
Starting from January 17, most of the staff in the entire county government were no longer focused on their work.
Middle and senior management are thinking about gift-giving, while ordinary staff are thinking about taking holidays.
He Zhi and others also lined up to give gifts to Jiang Ningyue, not money, but things.
However, Jiang Ningyue refused on the grounds that she would not be staying here during the New Year.
On January 22, the county party committee and government held their final meeting. As a leader, Jiang Ningyue was required to be on duty during the Spring Festival. She was scheduled for the last day, but someone volunteered to cover for her.
After starting work, and especially becoming a leader, Jiang Ningyue discovered that everyone she met was a good person. Her colleagues were incredibly understanding and dedicated.
Those who don’t know would think that the world is really full of truth, goodness and beauty.
Before leaving, Jiang Ningyue returned to the rental house and packed up a bit.
Because she had to pass through the city to go home, Jiang Ningyue planned to buy some New Year's goods to take home. When she was dragging her suitcase downstairs, she saw He Zhi standing downstairs with his domestic car parked next to him.
"What are you doing?"
"lead."
He Zhi quickly took out a cardboard box from the trunk, opened it, and said with a bright smile, "These are some vegetables grown by my relatives. They are perfect for me to take back."
Jiang Ningyue looked at He Zhi suspiciously, and rummaged through the box. There really were some vegetables. Each one was lush green and very tender. They must have been picked from the greenhouse.
"Okay."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and opened the trunk. He Zhi put the vegetables in and continued, "I have some sheep raised by my own family and some small seafood in the trunk."
"Why? Do any of your relatives raise fish?"
Jiang Ningyue raised her eyebrows and said, "I want the vegetables, but I don't want the rest."
"No, leader."
He Zhi opened the mutton box and said, "This mutton is from our county. It's not worth much."
"Okay, put them all in my trunk."
Jiang Ningyue thought about it and decided that this would save her from buying it herself.
He Zhi happily placed these things in Jiang Ningyue's trunk. Jiang Ningyue took out her WeChat and said, "I've transferred one thousand yuan to you. Come and collect it quickly."
"Boss, don't you look down on me? How could I ask you for money for such a small gift?" He Zhi was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had seen such a difficult gift. Even when he gave a gift to the leader of the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau, he put it directly in the trunk. He didn't return the money like Jiang Ningyue did.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm rich, and I won't take advantage of you."
Jiang Ningyue waved her hand indifferently, opened the car door and got in.
This time, "The Beginning" became a hit, and Jiang Ningyue, as a screenwriter and "investor", can also get dividends.
Penguin was also very optimistic about this drama. Therefore, when signing the agreement with Kuangshi Film and Television, they adopted a model of 150 million plus profit sharing. Due to price limits, online film and television dramas can no longer be sold at sky-high prices of hundreds of millions.
So, profit sharing is the best way.
At the beginning of the show, Jiang Ningyue received a 20% dividend, which was the "money" Lin Chenxi used to buy the script. However, later on, companies like Haizhou TV's film and television department and Penguin Pictures joined in.
In the end, Jiang Ningyue's dividend was diluted to 8.5%.
However, even so, the dividends Jiang Ningyue received in the end should be more than 10 million.
Jiang Ningyue, who was already very rich, has once again become financially free.
Jiang Ningyue drove to Taozhou City and bought some cigarettes, alcohol and fruits. In short, after filling the car up, Jiang Ningyue returned to the county town.
After arriving in the county town, Jiang Ningyue went to Jiang Ni's house as usual, delivered the things to her, had a meal with her sister, and then returned to her hometown.
The villagers gradually got used to the fact that Jiang Ningyue suddenly became "capable", so Jiang Ningyue's return to the village this time did not cause much sensation.
After driving the car into the yard, Jiang Ningyue got out.
The big yellow dog immediately ran to Jiang Ningyue's side and wagged its tail, "Big Yellow."
Jiang Ningyue patted the dog's head and said, "I brought you a gift this time!"
"What gift are you buying for the dog?"
Jiang Su walked in from outside the yard with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Su used to be an image of a man facing the earth. However, now he is wearing a suit, a sweater knitted by Wang Zhen, and a pair of old cloth shoes.
He walked with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "Hurry up and move your cigarettes and alcohol."
"I don't lack cigarettes now."
Although Jiang Su was very happy, he said, "Everyone gave it to me."
"Why? Are you short of money?"
Jiang Ningyue said coldly, "You're a village committee member and you want to go to jail for taking bribes? Didn't you just leave me 100,000 yuan for National Day? If you don't have money, I'll give it to you."
Wang Zhen, who came out of the house, said quickly, "You heard your dad bragging. Someone gave him a box of Baitashan a few days ago, and he happily showed it off to me for several days. No one has ever given him anything good."
"That's not possible either."
Jiang Ningyue said, "My family is not short of money, don't take advantage of me."
Jiang Su nodded. "You're right. A while ago, many provincial leaders were imprisoned for corruption. I want to learn from this."
Jiang Ningyue: "..."
You don't have to compare yourself with provincial leaders.
