Chapter 48 The Forgotten Readers
Xia Ge called Tao Jingjing again in the car, and the answer was answered soon.
"Hello?"
"Hello Aunt Tao, I am Xia Ge and I don't know when it's more convenient for you. I want to visit you." Xia Ge said.
My mother has already told her about her affairs to her classmates, so she doesn’t have to report to her home anymore.
Tao Jingjing, who was recording music for idol trainee programs in the recording studio, suddenly felt energetic.
Xia Ge impressed her deeply. His master-level dance skills during the street dance competition opened her eyes. She originally planned to support the man in the sweatshirt and mask, but found that Xia Ge did not come in the second episode.
The phone number left behind was also fake, so she asked from many sources. Still couldn't find the contact information. In the end, her old classmate took the initiative to contact her and found out that the man in the mask was her son Xia Ge.
Unfortunately, the show was recorded at this time, and Xia Ge couldn't join the middle, unless they re-recorded it, but this was too unfair to other contestants.
The program has not been broadcast yet, and she could imagine that the audience who were following the program would worship Xia Ge’s dance at that time. When she found out that Xia Ge had disappeared in the second episode, she would probably spray the program team to death.
But it's nothing to do with her anymore. She was transferred to the idol trainee program team. Others took the blame for the previous programs.
"Come to Modu TV at 10 am tomorrow. I want to chat with you. Your mother asked me to take good care of you. I must know your true thoughts, whether to play or to gain a foothold in the circle." Tao Jingjing said.
"Okay, Aunt Tao."
The two of them politely ended the conversation.
He was going to the TV station again tomorrow, and Xia Ge shook his head helplessly. Before he entered the entertainment industry, he started running to the TV station every day.
However, it’s not bad to go to the TV station. I happened to talk to Hu Jing about joining the show myself, and I also need to refer to Tao Jingjing’s opinions.
After a busy day, Xia Ge went home and had hot meals.
All of them are home-cooked dishes made by Aunt Chen. A simple boiled cabbage can make you feel like a five-star hotel.
After dinner, Dazhuang reported on the rental of Xia Ge.
"Brother, that house costs 180,000 yuan a month, and there are nearly 20 rooms. I think it's still too expensive. Do we really want to rent it?" Dazhuang said worriedly.
He knew that there was only less than 1 million in Xia's singer, so it would be a waste of 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, renting an office building may be more expensive than this one.
Thinking that the villa is similar to the RNGG base, there is a gym, a balcony and a starry sky room, Xia Ge clapped his hands and said, "Rent! It's not good to live in my grandfather's house all the time, but it seems that it's not that big now. Tomorrow you discuss with the animation team, let's share a floor for them to see if the rent is OK, let's discuss it together."
"By the way, what animation did their team do?" Xia Ge said curiously.
"Actually, their team is now taking on some outsourcing business. The boss is also a worker, with only a few shares. He is a fellow villager and a native of Rongcheng. Their script has not been written yet, so I didn't ask about the name."
"The boss is called Jiaozi, and most of the shares in this studio belong to the owner of the villa. The economy is in a downturn this year, and the boss's other businesses are damaged and he has to sell the shares of the studio. The villa cannot be used for free for the studio, so they can only move away."
Xia Ge was stunned when he heard the word dumpling. As a former otaku and an animation enthusiast, he naturally knew the name of dumplings.
This is also a legendary figure, which is even more exaggerated than Xia Ge's staying at home for half a year. He stayed at home for three years and grinded out an animated short film "Da Da Da Da A Big Watermelon" and won numerous awards. This person was Xia Ge's idol back then.
People learn to make 3D animations by self-taught. Xia Ge also tried to make animations during college, but unfortunately he was stumped by various English software and could only give up his dream of becoming an animation director.
"No, I've heard the name of dumplings there?" Xia Ge continued to think about it.
Suddenly he thought that this was a case mentioned in "Capital Never Sleeping"?
Because I didn't just pick up the dumplings, I didn't remember them for a while.
Wu Yangrong promoted the Halo Media in Beijing to deploy the animation industry and participated in many project betting. In addition to the "Return of the Great Sage" released this year, there will be another "Big Fish", "White Snake" and "Nezha" next year.
A few simple words in the book when talking about betting and anime, one of which is that when "Nezha" was released in 2019, the box office exceeded 5 billion. It made a lot of money for Halo Media.
The director is now the company's partner is preparing to withdraw and has no money to rent dumplings from the villa.
This is a good project. I don’t know if Nezha is starting now and Halo Media has intervened. Xia Ge has decided to meet dumplings in person.
"Da Zhuang helped me make an appointment with dumplings, and told them not to move out first, and I would give the rent first, and then I would meet him in person tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Tell him that I am his fan." Xia Ge said.
He only knew that Nezha's animation would make money, whether it was a project of Dumplings or Halo Media. He knew nothing about anything else, and he only knew after meeting and chatting.
Back in his room, Xia Ge began to frown and think.
The money is really not enough. 180,000 yuan a month usually requires half a year of rent. This is 1.08 million yuan, and the deposit is 180,000 yuan a month. The company registration design requires 200,000 yuan. After Lin Tao’s factory is completed, he will have to inject capital.
"Money, money, money! Do you want to sell Wang Shizhen's calligraphy?" Xia Ge couldn't help but think.
Now these four pages can be sold for 8 million yuan. This is enough money. But if you can't sell it to others, it's only Lin Tao. Otherwise, you will definitely offend people.
I was afraid that he would burn if I sold it to him.
Why!
It’s really a pity that I hate when I use it!
There is also a signing contract on Dousha Platform that seems to make a profit, but I will have to delay at least two months after the New Year to participate in idol trainees, and the live broadcast time problem is difficult to solve.
Nowadays, the only way to make money is Qicheng's novel, which should be available in December. Now it has more than 100,000 yuan in collections. According to Sanshao, it is a very powerful new book. It is possible to earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.
Thinking of this, Xia Ge took out QQ and asked his editor Winnie, "Editor, when will the Lord of Mystery be released?"
Xia Ge checked out when he was in the editor's office. The messages were all special reminders. Even when it was off work, Winnie replied in seconds: "My pigeon, you can remember your novel. It is set up automatically every day and does not interact with readers. You are really a Buddhist author."
"Sorry, Daddy, you know I am still an anchor. I'm busy playing the king recently. I played a game with the skt world champion a few days ago. I'm so busy. Sorry!" Xia Ge apologized sincerely.
I decided to interact with readers in the future. I seemed to be only concerned about saving manuscripts every day and uploading them automatically, and I didn't care about anything else.
"Master, look at how many subscriptions I can have if I put it on the shelves. I will update 1 to 20,000 words every day on the shelves." Xia Ge opened the notebook while chatting and checked the author's reward records in the background.
"Damn, the reward commission is 100,000 yuan! This is not a reward of 200,000 yuan. Who is so rich..." Xia Ge looked through the records speechlessly.
When I saw it, I realized that it was the result of tens of thousands of people rewarding them. Some of them received a lot of rewards, which cost four or five thousand, and those with a few dollars, dozens or hundreds, and thousands.
Before it was released, the number of fans has exceeded 10,000, which means more than 10,000 people have rewarded them.
Chapter completed!
