Chapter 588: Chapter 311 The More You Struggle, the Tighter It Gets Chapter 588: Chapter 311 The More You Struggle, the Tighter It Gets If it hadn’t been for He Guojin’s reminder, Xu Qingyan would have even forgotten that “My Leader, My Regint” had already been broadcast for quite a while, mainly because he, as the screenwriter, had barely participated.
He had taken the money and left, and with He Guojin’s connection, he didn’t need to be so deferential.
Moreover, as ti went on, Xu Qingyan got busy.
The company opened three situational cody series simultaneously; there was no ti to care about a series that couldn’t make him any money.
It’s worth ntioning that he received the publishing fee.
Since he only provided the script, and the subsequent editorial changes were handled by Zhao Mingyuan, a portion of the manuscript fee was shared.
The money wasn’t much, but it was the principle that mattered—he had to claim it in na.
...
“He Guo, what’s the good news?” Xu Qingyan leaned against the second-floor corridor, looking at the street that hadn’t changed much over the year, lush trees remained as ever.
The ceaseless sumr cicada’s cries were sowhat noisy.
“The ratings are very good.
As for how high specifically, at its peak, it was a little lower than your series,” He Guojin’s voice was steady over the phone, “But the reputation is quite good.”
“A little lower?
How much lower?” Xu Qingyan was curious.
“Eight points.”
Xu Qingyan: “….”
Dammit, he was starting to not understand He Guojin.
A little lower, but it really was only one point lower—are you telling a hundred thousand cold jokes here?
It can only be said that when the east wind is proud, the horse hooves are swift.
Success is the best tonic for a man, enough to bring dead wood back to life and make old trees sprout anew.
Originally, He Guojin was sowhat dispirited when he participated in last year’s New Year Gala sub-venue, but now, after the gala, his career suddenly improved.
That, of course, was another matter, but at least it was sothing to be happy about.
He Guojin brought up the invitation again, asking Xu Qingyan to co over for a al when he was free.
He had ntioned it once before, and Xu Qingyan had said he would go if he had the chance.
Now it was brought up again.
The implication was naturally different, it was no re politeness.
People’s joys and sorrows are not the sa; Xu Qingyan couldn’t care less about the show and after hanging up the phone, he didn’t think about it anymore, not even bothering to open his computer to take a look.
This series was just a test for Xu Qingyan, thinking to adapt the TV dramas from his ntal library to the screen.
After a month of busyness, he considered it an accumulation of experience.
Making money was secondary; the main goals were practice and accumulating favors.
Wei Wufeng couldn’t always help him; they were just collaborators.
The first ti was due to a personal favor; the second ti was strictly business.
Xu Qingyan needed his own connections.
Going through Wei Wufeng wasn’t impossible, but the initiative wasn’t in Xu Qingyan’s hands.
In comparison, his relationship with He Guojin was more deeply entwined.
Although Wei Wufeng was easy to talk to, He Guojin was the one who genuinely offered benefits.
Though he was nominally a superior to Xu Qingyan, he scorned playing manipulative gas.
He dealt with matters straightforwardly and didn’t hesitate to share resources.
Whether in terms of personality or background, getting closer to He Guojin was the right path.
On the one hand, Xu Qingyan paid it no mind, but ultimately people noticed that “My Leader, My Regint” was written by Xu Qingyan, and its influence continued to expand.
….
Ti rolled on, and September and October passed like flowing water.
During this ti, Xu Qingyan spent most of his ti working.
“Love Apartnt” and “Ho with Kids” wrapped up one after another, keeping him on his toes.
Real life wasn’t as exciting as TV dramas; his days were almost a cycle of repetitive high-frequency work.
He often got so tired that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down, and would only shower after waking up.
But the mont when both series wrapped up, Xu Qingyan still felt it was worthwhile.
Previously, with “The Legend of Martial Arts” making a splash, his Sky Light Film and Television found a path for situational codies, followed by “Underground Transit Station” to deepen the impression.
Now, with “Love Apartnt” and “Ho with Kids,” Xu Qingyan could complete his quartet of situational codies.
He was looking at the benefits; the combined profitability and influence of the four series were enough for him to dominate most of the popularity in the minor category of situational codies.
Whether there would be even better situational codies in the future was unknown to him.
However, given the entertainnt industry’s current rush for quick success and the scenario where bad money drives out good in the circle of screenwriters, the chance of a high-quality situational cody appearing was almost next to none.
In late October, the weather turned cooler.
Pei Muchan released her new album “Cloud Layers,” and Lin Wanzhou was a bit late, releasing her new album, “Reflections of the Galaxy,” in November, which had nothing to do with Xu Qingyan.
Although he could have written scores for both won, he later realized there was no need.
Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou’s songs began showing increasingly strong personal styles.
The two could be said to have almost opposite styles, but both albums received good results and reviews upon release.
Xu Qingyan was happy to be unoccupied, busy with the post-production of the two series and various details.
Relying on songwriting to make money no longer satisfied his appetite.
He was glad to see Pei Muchan finding her groove again, and Lin Wanzhou also got her second wind.
As forr pop stars, both won’s edges were once again evident.
People all have spiritual needs, and love and being loved are just part of it.
Love isn’t everything in life; the sense of achievent from one’s career is more nourishing.
Lin Wanzhou would probably return to Xinghai about once a month to et up with Xu Qingyan.
They would go shopping, have als, or just kiss each other in the apartnt.
Xu Qingyan, increasingly haggard from work, could see that Lin Wanzhou was becoming more spirited.
She displayed a positive attitude, and the topic that ca up most in conversation was work.
Her joyous deanor was completely different from the confusion she felt six months earlier.
