Chapter Forty-Eight: The Forgotten Readers
Xia Ge dialed Tao Jingjing's phone again in the car, and she answered quickly.
"Hello?"
"Hello Aunt Tao, I'm Xia Ge, I don't know when it's convenient for you, I want to come and visit you. Xia Ge said.
Mom has already told her old classmates about herself. So you don't have to report your home anymore.
Tao Jingjing, who was recording the music of the idol trainee program in the recording studio, instantly came to her senses.
Xia Ge made a deep impression on her, and his grandmaster-level dancing skills in the hip-hop dance competition opened her eyes. was going to support the sweatshirt and mask man, but it turned out that Xia Ge didn't come in the second episode.
The phone number she left behind was also fake, and she inquired in many ways. Still haven't found contact details. In the end, it was her old classmate who took the initiative to contact her to find out that the mask man was her son Xia Ge.
It's a pity that the show was recorded at this time, and Xia Ge couldn't join halfway unless they re-recorded it, but it was too unfair to the other contestants.
The show has not yet aired, and she can imagine the worship of Xia Ge and dance by the audience who followed the show at that time. When the second issue found that Xia Ge had disappeared, it was estimated that the program team would be sprayed to death.
But it's none of her business, she was transferred to the idol trainee program group. Previous shows had other people take the blame.
"Come to Modu TV tomorrow at 10 a.m., I'm going to have a good chat with you. Your mother asked me to take care of you, and I had to know what you really thought, whether it was to play or to get a foothold in the circle. Tao Jingjing said.
"Okay, Aunt Tao. ”
The two ended the conversation with a few more polite words.
Going to the TV station again tomorrow, Xia Ge shook his head helplessly, he started to run to the TV station every day before he entered the entertainment industry.
It's not bad to go to the TV station, just to talk to Hu Jing in person about joining the show, and also refer to Tao Jingjing's opinion.
After a busy day, Xia Ge went home and ate a hot meal.
All of them are home-cooked dishes made by Aunt Chen, and a simple boiled cabbage can also eat the feeling of a five-star hotel.
Da Zhuang had dinner and reported to Xia Ge about renting a house.
"Brother, that suite costs 180,000 a month and has nearly 20 rooms. I think it's still too expensive, do we really want to rent it?" Da Zhuang worried.
He knew that there were only less than 1 million in Xia Singer, and he would spend it on renting a house.
Xia Ge also fell into deep thought, should he rent such a big house.
The price of this location is actually not expensive, and renting an office building may be more expensive than this.
Thinking that the villa is similar to the RNGG base, there is a gym, a balcony and a starry sky room, Xia Ge slapped his hand and said: "It's not good to live in grandpa's house all the time, but it doesn't seem to be so big now." Tomorrow, you discuss it with the anime team, let's share a floor for them to see, and we'll discuss the rent together. ”
"By the way, what animation did their team do?" Xia Ge said curiously.
"In fact, their team is now taking on some outsourcing business, and the boss is also a part-time worker, with only a few shares, and you are a fellow countryman and a person from Rongcheng. They haven't come up with a script yet, and I didn't ask for the name. ”
"The owner is called Dumplings, and more than half of the shares of this studio belong to the owner of the villa. This year's economic downturn, the boss's other businesses have been damaged, and he wants to sell his shares in the studio. The villa also can't be used by the studio for free, they have to move out. ”
When Xia Ge heard the word dumplings, he was stunned. As a former otaku, animation lover. Naturally know the name of the dumplings.
This is also a legendary figure, more exaggerated than Xia Ge's house for half a year, he stayed at home and gnawed at the old for three years, grinding out an animated short film "Da Big Watermelon" and won numerous awards, this person was Xia Ge's idol back then.
People are self-taught and learn to make 3D animations. Xia Ge also tried to do animation during college, but unfortunately he was stumped by various English software, so he had to give up his dream of becoming an animation director.
"No, I've heard the name of dumplings there?" Xia Ge continued to recall.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that this was not a case mentioned in "Capital Never Sleeps"?
Because it wasn't a dumpling that was mentioned directly, I didn't think about it for a while.
Wu Yangrong mentioned that the layout of Halo Media in the capital and the animation industry have participated in many project bets, in addition to "The Return of the Great Sage" released this year, there will be a "Big Fish" next year, as well as "White Snake" and "Nezha".
There are a few simple sentences in the book when talking about gambling and animation, one of which is that the box office of "Nezha" exceeded 5 billion when it was released in 2019. Make a lot of money for Halo Media.
And the director is now the company's partner who is ready to quit and has no money to rent dumplings in the villa.
This is a good project, I don't know if Nezha is started now, and whether Halo Media has intervened. Xia Ge has decided that he must go and meet the dumplings in person.
"Da Zhuang helped me make an appointment for dumplings, and said that they should not move out first, I will pay the rent first, and then I will meet him in person tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. And he said I was a fan of his. Xia Ge said.
He only knows that Nezha's animation will make money, whether it is a dumpling director or a project of Halo Media. I don't know anything else, I only know when I meet and talk.
Back in his room, Xia Ge began to frown and think.
The money is really not enough, 180,000 a month generally has to pay half a year's rent. That's 1.08 million, and the deposit is 180,000 a month. The company's registered design costs 200,000 yuan, and I don't know how much money will be injected into the Lin Tao factory.
"Money, money, money, do you want to sell Wang Shizhen's calligraphy?" Xia Ge couldn't help but think.
Now these four pages are estimated to sell for 8 million. That's more than enough money. But it can't be sold to others, it can only be Lin Tao. Otherwise, it will definitely offend people.
Sell it to him and fear that he will burn it.
Ay!
It's really a matter of money when it's spent!
There is also a Fighting Shark platform that seems to be able to make a fortune by signing a contract, but I have to delay at least two months to participate in idol trainees after the New Year, and the problem of live broadcast time is a little difficult to solve.
Now the only way to make money is the novel of Qicheng, which should be available on the shelves in December. Now it has a collection of more than 100,000 people, and according to three spoons, it is a very powerful new book. It is possible to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.
Thinking of this, Xia Ge directly took out QQ and asked his editor Pooh: "Editor, when will the Lord of Mystery be on the shelves?"
Where Xia Ge registered in the editor of the Departure Novel Network, the messages are all special reminders, even when he gets off work, Pooh replied in seconds: "My pigeon is big, you can remember your novel." Set up automatic uploads every day, and don't interact with readers, you are really a Buddhist author. ”
"I'm sorry, I know I'm still a streamer, I've been busy with the king lately, and I played a match with the SKT World Champion the other day, so I'm too busy. I'm sorry!" Xia Ge sincerely apologized.
I decided in my heart that I would still interact with readers in the future, and I seemed to only care about saving manuscripts every day, and then uploading them automatically, and I didn't care about anything else.
"If you see how many subscriptions I can have, I update 1 to 20,000 words every day when I put them on the shelves. While chatting, Xia Ge opened his notebook and checked the reward record in the author's background.
"Damn, the reward commission is 100,000 yuan! It's not to reward me with 200,000 yuan, who is so ...... tyrant. Xia Ge looked at the records speechlessly.
At a glance, I realized that it was the result of tens of thousands of rewards. Some of the tips are more, spending four or five thousand, and the few are a few yuan, dozens or hundreds, or thousands.
has not yet been put on the shelves, and the number of fans has reached more than 10,000, which means that more than 10,000 people have rewarded themselves.
