Chapter 477: No disappointment, no surprise.
After attending the couple's engagement party, Shen Xuewei continued to attend to company matters.
The company's two games are about to be launched after internal testing, and Shen Xuewei needs to keep an eye on them to prevent any unexpected problems from arising.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Although the first-day revenue of the two games was not as high as that of the original "Time Travel Romance", they both exceeded 50 million, which is not too bad.
Several years after its launch, Time and Space Pact is no longer as popular as it once was, but it is still very profitable.
The current monthly revenue is estimated to be around 80 to 90 million.
After recognizing the potential of the female-oriented game market, the company subsequently launched other games targeted at women.
Although it can't compare to the "Time Travel Romance," it still earned a considerable amount.
The outstanding performance of "The Legend of Immortals" this year has also successfully attracted the attention of the industry to "Cloud Deep Immortal Crossing," an adaptation of the same author's novel.
Filming for "Cloudy Immortal Crossing" has wrapped, and post-production is complete.
Before the broadcast of "The Legend of Immortality," the platform for this drama had not yet been decided; it was simply waiting to be sold at a higher price.
After the success of "The Legend of Changsheng", more than one platform wanted to buy the rights to the series.
In the end, the Puffin platform, with its greater financial resources, won the contract for the series.
After post-production was completed and the show passed censorship, it was finally scheduled to air with the arrival of winter break.
Although the viewership figures weren't as high as those for "Eternal Life," they still barely met the platform's expectations, which is a satisfactory result.
With several works achieving good results, the cursor swept across the pen name "Poetry," and the remaining work, "The Record of the Demon King of the World," once again attracted the attention of major platforms.
The cursor swept over the author of the poem. He has only written four novels, three of which have been adapted into film and television works, and all of them have been very successful.
It's only natural that this most popular film, which hasn't been adapted into a film or television series, would be targeted.
Everyone knows that the film and television adaptation rights for this novel belong to Tide Media...
In reality, the copyright of this novel still belongs to Shen Xuewei, and Tide Media also knows that this story is impossible to adapt into a TV series.
However, outsiders have no idea about any of this.
So, while Tide Media remained completely silent, all sorts of rumors about the novel being adapted into a film or television series began to circulate.
One by one, entries popped up online saying, "My xxx is the chosen one, Xue Lai."
Various gossip bloggers have revealed that so-and-so has been in contact with the production team of "Se-yeon: Demon King" and it's highly likely that a deal will be finalized...
After a series of revelations, some true and some false, it turns out that the novel has never been decided to be adapted into a TV series, but its popularity has already been generated.
Among all these voices, the protests from book fans were particularly loud, with one or two people boycotting the adaptation of the novel into a film or television series.
It wasn't until Tide Media stepped in and confirmed that there were no plans to adapt the novel into a film or television series that all the noise was silenced.
The moment Fang Shiyue was invited home by Shen Xuewei, he already knew what was going to happen today.
After knowing each other for three years and dating for more than two years, this relationship is about to come to an end.
Shen Xuewei specially asked Sister Zou to prepare a candlelight dinner, so that she and Fang Shiyue could sit quietly together for the last time.
Fang Shiyue barely ate anything in front of him, only looking at Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei raised her glass and clinked it against his.
"You spent a lot of money to buy the photos from the paparazzi, didn't you?"
Fang Shiyue shook his head, "Not much. I've been making movies for so many years, I can still afford this much money."
He acted in so many films and TV series, but was then sidelined and had to audition for supporting roles one after another. He even had to give 80% of his earnings to the company.
Even with the resources Shen Xuewei has provided over the years, she has made some waves in the entertainment industry, but she still doesn't have much money.
Although it has become popular now thanks to Cloud Deep Immortal Crossing, it became popular too quickly, and the money it has earned is limited.
He knew that Shen Xuewei didn't like being exposed to the public and her fans, so when he learned that paparazzi had taken photos of him and Shen Xuewei and were preparing to expose them, he didn't hesitate to spend all his money to buy them.
Shen Xuewei smiled, not exposing his lie, but simply got up and went to the study to retrieve a document for him.
"I told you before that I would send you a gift when we broke up. Open it and take a look."
Fang Shiyue had already seen what the document contained; it was his termination agreement, and also his indenture.
He had wanted to leave his current agency for a long time, but he couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract.
I was almost saved enough, but...
He looked at the contract that seemed to have fallen from the sky, then looked at Shen Xuewei, his eyes revealing a hint of pleading.
"Weiwei, if I don't want to break up... is there still a chance to get back together?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei glanced at him in surprise.
"Shi Yue, do you remember what you said back then? You wanted to be very, very famous. Look, now your dream has come true."
"You know my personality; I don't like to compromise myself when it comes to relationships. I don't think your acting career is more important than me as a person. Are you really willing to retire from the industry and never act again for me?"
Fang Shiyue's eyes were determined. "What if I said I could?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei burst into laughter.
After laughing enough, she wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and said:
"Shi Yue, there are many things that are easy to say but difficult to do."
"What you say now might make you regret it a day, no, an hour, or even a minute later because of your impulsiveness. There is no such thing as having it all in this world."
"Alright, I'll give you three days to think it over. If you truly value me more than your career, you can see me before midnight on the third day. You can leave the industry, and we can continue."
In fact, it didn't take three days for Fang Shiyue to regret saying those words.
Honestly, between career and love, Fang Shiyue wants his career more.
His initial approach to Shen Xuewei was also for career reasons.
Perhaps he was used to pretending to love Shen Xuewei in front of her, and even at this moment, he still seemed to value Shen Xuewei the most.
However, he knew perfectly well that it was all a lie.
Perhaps it's because I've been acting for so long, or perhaps it's a genuine expression of emotion.
In his heart, there was indeed a moment when he valued Shen Xuewei the most.
On the third day, Shen Xuewei did not receive a message from Fang Shiyue before midnight.
She didn't wait for it, but when she got up the next morning, she found that their WeChat chat history was still from three days ago.
There was no disappointment, nor any surprise.
For Shen Xuewei, he was just a passerby in her life.
He gave her immense emotional value, and Shen Xuewei gave him what he wanted.
I only occasionally think of this person when I'm not working, and I know that he signed with a new agency, that he's taken on a new role, and that he's had a scandal with the actress he's working with.
When Xu Yue learned that Shen Xuewei and Fang Shiyue had broken up, she rushed to Shen Xuewei's house to visit her.
She stared at Shen Xuewei, who was working, for a long time. After Shen Xuewei signed a contract, she carefully tugged at her sleeve.
Shen Xuewei turned around, about to ask her what was wrong, when she heard Xu Yue lower her voice and speak in an eerily gentle tone:
"Weiwei, are you alright? I'm fine, we're not sad. There's something even better waiting for you ahead..."
Shen Xuewei instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
"Xu Yue, please be normal. Do I look sad?"
She dumped Fang Shiyue, or more accurately, they broke up amicably; she wasn't the one who was dumped...
