Wu Yue and Hu Jian were completely engrossed in the world of books, and by the time they finally finished reading "Blood Sea Drifting Fragrance," it was unknowingly time to get off work.
It wasn't that the two of them read slowly; it was simply that they read such a wonderfully brilliant book with extreme meticulousness.
"Alas, I somewhat regret reading it all in one go," Wu Yue sighed softly, speaking with a hint of melancholy.
"Why do you say that?" Hu Jian played along perfectly, acting as the straight man and asking curiously.
"The wait for the next part will be longer! Think about it, at Su Yu's update speed of 10,000 characters a day, we'll have to wait half a month to see the second part!" Wu Yue said with a flood of emotions, his words full of anticipation for the subsequent content.
"Chief Editor, what level of recommendation should we arrange for this new book?" Hu Jian pouted, feeling that Wu Yue was being a bit smug despite getting a good deal, but he didn't forget to ask about the important matter.
"Naturally, the highest level of promotion! Go straight for the big banner recommendation! Then, you go discuss with Su Yu; the new book will update 50,000 characters on the first day, and on the second day, we'll directly arrange for the novel to be put on shelves!"
Wu Yue answered without hesitation, but the subsequent arrangements made Hu Jian somewhat dumbfounded.
50,000 characters and directly on shelves? The Chief Editor truly has immense confidence.
However, recalling the thrilling plot that had just made him unable to stop, he felt relieved.
This "chu liuxiang legend" truly deserves such treatment!
Moreover, he felt that after Li Xunhuan, the little li flying dagger, Su Yu had created another character, "Fragrant Commander" Chu Liuxiang, who was distinctly different yet extremely captivating.
Su Yu's character-building ability is simply astonishingly powerful.
Hu Jian believed that those Daoke would really like this chivalrous thief Chu Liuxiang, right? At least he himself had already deeply fallen in love with this novel character.
"Alright! Su Yu will agree! He seems to be in urgent need of money recently; he just asked me to keep an eye on the finance department to make sure they pay him his novel royalties on time."
Hu Jian nodded earnestly, inadvertently mentioning what Su Yu had said this morning.
"These are minor matters. I'll call finance and have them try to transfer Su Yu's copyright share and royalties on the afternoon of the first!"
Wu Yue waved his hand indifferently; in his opinion, this was indeed a trivial matter.
Other authors needed timely payments, but Su Yu was different after all, so there was no harm in making an exception. This could also strengthen the relationship with Su Yu, so why not?
At this moment, Su Yu had already returned to the dormitory.
He came back relatively late today, specifically calling the dorm supervisor to confirm that there were no paparazzi outside the dormitory before carefully returning to school.
And Su Yu felt that Tianxing Entertainment was no longer as peaceful and tranquil as before.
Because of the renewed popularity of "Life is Like Summer Flowers," coupled with the news of Liu Ruyan successfully inviting him to write a song spreading within the company, many company singers came to visit today.
Their purpose was self-evident: they all came to invite songs from Su Yu, this newly rising genius in lyrics and composition.
The singers in the company were not foolish; they naturally saw the current popularity of Su Yu's songs.
Now, as long as they got a song from Su Yu and released it in a short time, the popularity would come to them without needing to be deliberately hyped.
Actually, Li Dayue had already helped Su Yu block some singers, but today's visitors were all second-tier and even first-tier singers from the company, many of whom were also Li Dayue's friends, which made it impossible for him to continue fending them off for Su Yu.
This made Su Yu annoyed all day, and his progress in writing was incomparable to when he was in the dormitory.
This led Su Yu to directly find Li Dayue when he got off work and ask for a week's vacation, giving the reason that he needed to go into seclusion to write the script for "little li flying dagger."
Li Dayue didn't know how to refuse this.
After all, the frenzy of the company's singers today made him feel that it would affect Su Yu's creation.
Besides, Su Yu even refused Chen Gewang's song invitation, so it wouldn't be too difficult for these company singers to accept being rejected, right?
Moreover, these singers were actually bullying Su Yu for being a newcomer who had just entered the industry and wasn't thick-skinned enough to directly refuse his colleagues from the same company.
Otherwise, if it were an established lyricist or composer, would these singers dare to act like this? Coming in groups and refusing to leave without a song!
Time quietly passed, and it was August 1st in a blink of an eye.
today, for Su Yu, two relatively important things would happen.
One was that the royalties from Shengshi Fenghua Website would arrive in the afternoon, and the other was that Director Yi Bai's movie "whose youth isn't lost" would officially premiere in the afternoon.
Of course, his movie premiere wouldn't give him a share of the box office, but the movie contained the song "plain face" co-sung by Su Yu and Han Jiangxue!
Tianxing Entertainment had already quietly prepared the studio version of this song "plain face" this morning, just waiting for it to go live on music platforms directly after the movie's premiere.
today was the first day of August, so the new song chart would naturally reset.
Last month, Su Yu's work "the wind rises" came from behind to win first place on the July new song chart, while the second place was still Su Yu's "Flowers Bloom at Parting." "Life is Like Summer Flowers," which went online on the evening of the 27th, also reached sixth place on the new song chart with 23 million downloads.
For the August new song chart, Su Yu was clearly determined to win.
On the 1st, there was "plain face" co-sung by him and Han Jiangxue; on the 2nd, Liu Ruyan's new album's lead single "flammable and explosive" went online; on the 3rd, there was "torment" performed by Han Jiangxue in the fifth episode of "The King of Singers"; and on the 10th, there was Su Yu's most confident song, "like you"!
In the first half of August, four of Su Yu's songs would appear one after another, so Su Yu had exceptionally strong confidence in taking the top spot on the August new song chart.
And Tianxing Entertainment also had full confidence in Su Yu; after all, last month, Su Yu released three songs, and all three became instant hits!
How could this month's four songs be any worse?
They only needed to release Su Yu's songs on time and do some simple promotion, which was incredibly hassle-free.
Around two in the afternoon, the Shengshi Fenghua royalties arrived first.
Last month, Su Yu received a total of 4.87 million chinese yuan in royalties and reward shares from Shengshi Fenghua, plus over 8 million from novel copyright shares; all of this was after-tax money.
And at this moment, over 10 million chinese yuan lay quietly in Su Yu's bank card.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly spent 10 million to purchase the "little li flying dagger" gift package that he had been longing for from the system.
As for buying his own property in Yanjing, that would have to wait.
Su Yu planned to do it in one go and buy a larger house.
After all, he didn't want to speculate on real estate; having a house he liked was enough.
After getting the gift package, Su Yu originally thought he would have to write the script himself this time, but it turned out the script was already finished.
