Chapter 262 Before the Premiere
"Shu Kai, you seem to be in a good mood?"
The agent took the red wine Chen Shukai handed over, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The giant screen in front of him was broadcasting the premiere press conference of "The Legend of 1900" in Xiazhou, while Chen Shukai, dressed in a bathrobe, was lazily nestled on the sofa, watching the live broadcast and enjoying the aftertaste of red wine.
"After tonight, Fusheng will be promoted to a celebrity."
Chen Shukai smiled and swirled the red wine in his glass.
If it were some naive and clueless young man, he might ask, "Why are you so happy about becoming a celebrity?"
This is similar to someone else getting married, and you're even more excited than the groom.
However, Chen Shukai's agent doesn't think so, because once Fusheng becomes a celebrity, then Coral Sea, which is currently standing out on the celebrity list, will also be promoted to the celebrity list.
Chen Shukai's work released this month will undoubtedly shed its second-place title and take the top spot.
Although this kind of summit has no technical skill involved and is nothing to be proud of, it will undoubtedly be a good turning point for Chen Shukai, who has suffered a series of setbacks.
When someone is experiencing a series of misfortunes, even a small stroke of luck can become an extremely wonderful pleasure in life.
"These are tickets for the midnight showing; they cost quite a bit of money."
The agent didn't elaborate, and Chen Shukai didn't ask any further questions.
To put it bluntly, it's all about money.
He's a bona fide A-list celebrity, and the expense of buying those expensive tickets from scalpers is far less than the bottle of red wine he just opened.
"Floating Life's debut novel is truly a critical and commercial success; its influence is astonishing."
The agent remarked with emotion.
"Do you think that when I become a celebrity, the movies I release will also have this much impact?"
Chen Shukai asked with a look of longing.
The agent was speechless for a moment. "Do you really think so?"
You really dare to dream!
Chen Shukai didn't care about his agent's silence and laughed self-deprecatingly, "We can't compare, we can't compare."
"Shu Kai, you don't need to belittle yourself."
"I heard that the review panel was quite satisfied with the three works you submitted to the authorities."
The agent changed the subject, laughing, "As long as those three works shine brightly at the World Art Festival, your influence will also rise accordingly, and you might even become a celebrity this year."
"It's not that simple."
Chen Shukai shook his head: "I plan to take some time to go to Lizhou to prepare for promoting my overseas works. The previous plans are no longer suitable for the current market pace, and we need to find another way."
"You have a new idea again?" The agent frowned slightly.
"It's not that I have ideas, but the authorities are likely to take new actions."
"Think about it, if the government dares to host the World Arts Festival, how long can the cultural walls in Lizhou and Sangzhou last?"
"Once the cultural walls of these two states are unlocked, what will likely follow is the vast collection of works that Lily and Sandy have accumulated over the years."
"Don't forget, those are all works by celebrities. When that happens, the entire entertainment industry in China will face a major reshuffle."
