First update
Jiang Meiye's husband Luo Song felt uncomfortable for several days. He was afraid of other people's eyes when he went out. He always felt that those eyes were full of inquiry and teasing, which made his old face blush.
Luo Song and Jiang Meiye had several arguments about this and almost got divorced. However, Jiang Meiye was still unwilling to revise the article, and would not give up writing.
"If you want to divorce, then go ahead. Our son will stay with you, and our daughter will stay with me." Jiang Meiye said firmly.
Now the sons knew that Jiang Meiye earned a lot of money from her writings every month, so they were reluctant to give up their mother. They hugged Jiang Meiye's thighs and said, "Mom, I'm going with you!"
"My sister and I will go with you!"
"No! Mom, I'm going with you too!"
Jiang Meiye smiled bitterly in her heart. She used to work hard at home to take care of the old and the young, but never got any good treatment. Now she is a hands-off boss, and everyone praises her and her son is willing to be with her.
This shows that money is much more reliable than men.
"You, you, you... Hey, the child is already this big, just make do with it."
In the end, Luo Song still didn't want to divorce Jiang Meiye, and the couple continued to make do with each other. Jiang Meiye even wrote a short story about this, in which the male protagonist stayed with the female protagonist for money and acted like a traitor...
Luo Song saw it, and even if he was angry, Jiang Meiye remained indifferent. She treated Luo Song as a material machine.
"Your behavior and your words can cause the anger of millions of people. I don't need to scold you myself. I can make money and get millions of people to scold you just by copying your words and your behavior."
Luo Song was so angry that his blood pressure rose!
It turns out that this is indeed the case.
In the spring of 1981, Qin Yao prepared to start filming a TV series with an estimated investment of one million yuan. With the opening up of the economy, all kinds of imported electrical appliances appeared on the market, and various foreign production lines were also introduced. Domestic television sets also grew rapidly. Each province was planning to set up its own TV station, and the requirements for content were more extensive, especially the demand for TV dramas was increasing day by day.
The more luxurious TV stations, such as Shanghai TV Station, directly import TV series from foreign countries because of their deep wealth, while the ordinary ones buy TV series produced domestically at low prices.
In the past few years, many people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan have emerged. They all know that making TV series is a hot new track, and they all flocked to it. Qin Yao is now planning to make a TV series, but she is not the first to try it, and instead falls behind.
It costs millions to make a TV series. Ordinary small businessmen cannot afford it, but they can participate in it. More than a dozen investors have made a fortune, while others have nothing or even been deceived and absconded with the money.
Qin Yao has experienced these two years and knows that there are many opportunities to make money at this time, but the economic loopholes are also like a sieve. If you cooperate with others, you will be cheated if you are not careful. She will not easily cooperate with people she has never dealt with before.
At this time, she is planning to shoot a TV series, and she has chosen to shoot it on her own. At this time, Qin Yao owns a popular magazine with a monthly income of one million, and she also gets dividends from her third sister-in-law's electrical appliance company. Even if one or two million is nothing, it will not hurt her much.
She chose to start filming Jiang Meiye's novel "The Fisher Girl". This Fisher Girl is similar to the later Mary Sue. It is a love story of the heroine and several men with ups and downs of love and hate.
The heroine is very kind and innocent. All men love her and help her, except her - the weird husband who is always a drag and cheats on her.
Qin Yao flipped through the script, her chest rising and falling several times, and she was very angry.
It’s just that this kind of crappy script must have extremely high ratings, even frighteningly high, because many viewers currently love it.
The heroine is sincere and kind, but she marries a rubbish man - so relatable!
Although she married a rubbish man, all kinds of handsome young men around her, her neighbor's brother, her childhood sweetheart officer liked her...but she didn't choose any of them. Even though she liked her childhood sweetheart officer, she still stuck to her rubbish husband.
Qin Yao was extremely angry watching this, until halfway through the plot, this husband was like a prodigal son who turned over a new leaf, promising his wife and children that he would turn over a new leaf and be a good man in the future, and the next second he died early to save others.
Qin Yao: “…” Okay, the plot tension is full.
Afterwards, the heroine finally married a mature man who they loved each other, but her children started to act crazy, which made people start to have heart attacks again.
In the end, this good man was tortured to death, and his children all regretted their decision.
At this time, the heroine met her innocent childhood sweetheart, the officer, who had become a big shot and whose wife had just passed away. The two of them rekindled their relationship...
Qin Yao: “…”
The plot makes people feel like they have a heart attack but they are powerless to complain, but the book is very popular. Even Gu Cheng couldn't help but read it from beginning to end. After reading it, it felt like there was a piece of candy stuck in his throat. It is indeed a bit sweet, but it is stuck in his throat, and he can't vomit it out even if he wants to.
The reactions of Qiao Jie, Chen Xiaoyun and others were even more bizarre, especially Chen Xiaoyun, who cried after reading it and found the story extremely touching!
"That's great! So touching. After all the twists and turns, they are still together."
"Xiao Jiang is so good at writing."
…
Qin Yao couldn't resist the reality of the public reaction. In order to make money and not look shabby, she had to make movies that everyone liked.
The estimated investment is one million yuan for the filming. Third sister-in-law Xie Hongni wanted to participate, but was rejected by Qin Yao. "This little money is not necessary, sister-in-law, I can help promote your electrical appliances at the end."
“How to do publicity?”
Qin Yao: "The TV series ends in the 1980s, so everything the main character eats and uses can be used for advertising."
"Yaoyao, this is a good idea!"
TV dramas this year could only be shot on location, and the money was spent on practical things such as the cost of filming equipment, food and accommodation for the crew, etc. The actors' pay was not high, with the highest being only 31 episodes, so the pay accounted for a very small part of the expenditure.
Qin Yao also launched a round of advertising investment. With the endorsement of a journal and the golden signboard of her pen name Jiang Meiye, she was able to obtain advertising fees of 1.5 million, which was almost equivalent to a free filming. She made back her investment right from the beginning.

In the spring of 1982, the TV series "The Fisher Girl" was released, and the streets were deserted.
The only thing people talked about on the street was this TV series. As the plot unfolded, almost everyone was scolding the heroine's husband. Luo Song felt embarrassed to go out, as if everyone was scolding him.
Neighbors in the family building are also discussing:
"To be fair, this husband turned over a new leaf and is still a very good person."
"Don't look at me like this. I actually played two roles in it. I am also the childhood sweetheart officer."
"Pah - I don't believe it, you might as well say it's Lao Gu."
"Even if it's not Lao Gu, Lao Meng will do. I think he looks quite like Lao Meng."
…
Luo Song smoked bitterly, thinking that he was having a hard time. "No matter what kind of woman I marry, I must not marry a cultured woman, let alone a woman who can write. Look at what people have written about men. They have nailed me to the pillar of shame."
"You deserve it! Look, Xiao Qin also writes books, but why is Lao Gu always portrayed in a positive light?"
"I was deceived by his appearance."
"What does Lao Meng say?"
“…”
Qin Yao didn't care about Luo Song's pain. This TV series alone made her earn tens of millions, and it was even sold overseas. No matter how weird the plot was, people just liked it.
Qin Yao established an independent film and television company, which will specialize in developing TV series in the future. Its headquarters will be in Yangcheng, and a branch shooting base will be set up on the island. Many places on the island are suitable for shooting mythological dramas.
In addition, with tens of millions in hand, Qin Yao plans to open a zoo on the island. This has received strong support from above, and the land can be acquired at the cheapest price, but it must be ensured that the land is used for animal protection.
"What procedures do I need to go through if I want to adopt a giant panda?"
"Adoption is difficult, you have to be lucky to find a rescue, first come first served."
Qin Yao was stunned: "We can't encounter giant pandas here."
"That's not necessarily true. Customs seized two of them a while ago and kept them in the province."
What she didn't know was that many zoos were qualified to rescue wild giant pandas, but giant pandas were rarely seen. Some people took risks to make a profit, some captured and kept them in captivity, some captured and hunted pandas and sold their skins, and some captured and smuggled pandas out of the country...
At that time, many people had no concept of wildlife protection. For the sake of money, national treasures were killed without mercy. Some people even did it specifically for panda skins - which made Qin Yao feel shocked.
The idea of opening a zoo came to her suddenly, and later she wanted to find creative inspiration. Now, she wants to run the zoo well and provide a comfortable home for the small animals.
Life is short and even if you make so much money you won’t be able to spend it all, so why not do something meaningful.

Gu Cheng had no objection to his wife's idea of opening a zoo, but he also had no good suggestions. "I have two little tigers and a little monkey at home. As long as you don't mind, I can do it."
"You have to be able to do it even if you can't!"
In 1982, Gu Cheng completed his further studies and was promoted to a higher position, which could be said to be a triple jump. When Qin Yao saw him wearing a brand new military uniform, she felt like a different person. The former Captain Gu would become Commander Gu in a few years.
The family took a boat back to the island. The two-year-old girl was very excited and drooled while sitting on her father's shoulders. Her two older brothers had never enjoyed such treatment. She drooled while holding her father's head every day. She didn't like walking and only liked riding horses.
Very different from her two "hashi brothers".
The couple recalled the good old days and thought of the good old days. In almost the same month and at about the same time, they chose to board the same old ship, which had been drifting on the sea for many years.
The people are not old, and neither is the boat. The new coat of paint makes it shine again, but the wear and tear on the inside makes people deeply appreciate the power of time.
"Is this really the ship? It feels different from what I remember."
Gu Cheng: "It's genuine."
Captain Gu, who was observant, began to analyze the details, ship data, and equipment that had been updated over the years with Qin Yao one by one.
Qin Yao felt dizzy after hearing this: "You are so familiar with fishing boats?"
Gu Cheng nodded calmly.
"Comrade, I still remember you two..."
Qin Yao turned around and saw that they were two middle-aged men and women she didn't recognize.
Gu Cheng recognized them, "They were the two educated youths who were on the boat ten years ago."
"You...you are here to revisit the old place too?" The man took off his sun hat and fanned himself. In the past two years, "revisiting the old place" has become a fashion. The educated youth returned to the places where they had been sent to the countryside, and the people on the right returned to the places where they had been exiled.
Qin Yao: "About the same."
"You two are married? You have three children? I knew you two were a couple from the beginning. Your appearance was so impressive that I would never forget it even after ten years. I didn't expect you to look so good after losing weight..."
"Your husband, I remember he was from the fishing boat company?"
Qin Yao: “…Yes.”
