Entertainment: Wanted to Acquire the Company on the First Day of Signing

56: It’s quite floaty.The excavator has a large mechanical arm that can be used as a springboard, which would make things much easier.

However, Su Jixing really felt like letting Lu Qingyu jump into the water and swim back up.

But of course, he couldn’t actually do that, so Su Jixing and Sun Yiru hurriedly went to find the park’s Staff Member, while Lu Qingyu stood there waiting composedly.

Come to think of it, this spot is actually quite good; he won’t be crowded by fans, and he can stand out from the rest.

The only downside is that you need to be thick-skinned, because more and more people are gathering to watch.

By this time, the viewers in the livestream room had already exceeded seven million.

”An emergency rescue scene, isn’t this more interesting than a livestream?”

”Have to say, this Lu Qingyu has something going for him.”

”Actually, he could also call the firefighters.”

Seeing this, Lu Qingyu replied, ”The firefighter brothers are all very busy; we shouldn’t waste national resources casually.”

Audience: --- ”You’re quite thoughtful.”

Lu Jin’s livestream room had already closed because there were fewer and fewer people toward the end; not closing it would just be asking for humiliation.

Half an hour later, Su Jixing finally found a small excavator. The driver only realized after arriving that the person he had to rescue was a celebrity, and he became a bit nervous. There were too many people around; he didn’t even have this many people when he taught students at school.

Su Jixing: ”Sir, sorry to trouble you, please be careful.”

Su Jixing was a bit worried that the driver might get nervous or careless and accidentally knock Lu Qingyu down with the large mechanical arm.

The driver had been operating excavators for over twenty years, so naturally, he couldn’t back down: ”Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Finally, under the gaze of seven million viewers, Lu Qingyu jumped onto the mechanical arm and got back to shore.

The livestream, originally intended for half an hour, didn’t end until two full hours later.

Su Jixing took Lu Qingyu to the studio to shoot an advertisement, while Sun Yiru went back to tally the livestream pre-sales.

In the car, with no one else around, Su Jixing could finally speak freely.

”Qingyu, I think we need to talk.”

Lu Qingyu made a gesture to stop Su Jixing; he knew what Su Jixing wanted to say.

”Brother Su, are you trying to tell me to pay more attention to safety in the future?”

Before Su Jixing could even say ”No,” Lu Qingyu continued.

”I know, Brother Su, don’t worry. I have a sense of proportion, but I’m doing this for you and for the company.”

”You fought for such good resources for me, so I must work hard to live up to your efforts.”

Lu Qingyu had an expression of ’I am considerate of you’ on his face.

Su Jixing: ”You,”

Su Jixing originally wanted to say that he couldn’t just run off and act on his own without considering the plan, but he was cut off by Lu Qingyu after just one word.

”I know, Brother Su, you think I’m too outstanding and are afraid I’ll be tired. It’s okay, I’m not tired.”

Su Jixing: ”I,”

Lu Qingyu: ”I will take care of myself, don’t worry.”

Lu Qingyu’s eyes looked very sincere. Su Jixing, having been interrupted three times in a row, fully verified the saying: ”The first drum beat rouses the spirit, the second exhausts it, and the third drains it.”

What he had originally wanted to say didn’t seem that important anymore, and Su Jixing sighed.

For the first time, he felt that the rumors about him being eloquent were false; otherwise, why couldn’t he say anything now?

”Fine, but remember, in the future, you must tell me in advance before doing anything so I can be prepared.”

Lu Qingyu drank the milk tea bought by the Staff Member with a grin, while Su Jixing opened his phone to check the hot search topics about Lu Qingyu today.

Currently, Lu Qingyu’s popularity was really quite good, to a degree that any newcomer would envy. But as he looked through it, he noticed a topic that seemed a bit off; it didn’t mention Lu Qingyu, but Su Jixing felt it was definitely about him.

Su Jixing opened it to see a news channel post: ”Parkour is an extreme sport with dangerous characteristics. When doing this sport, everyone should not blindly pursue thrills and must take safety measures, otherwise, the following results will occur.”

The accompanying picture was of Lu Qingyu sitting on the excavator arm.

Su Jixing: --- Damn, he really made the headlines.

Su Jixing felt a surge of anger again: ”Look at you.”

Lu Qingyu calmly leaned over to Su Jixing’s side, holding the milk tea with both hands, glanced at Su Jixing’s phone, and said slowly: ”I did tell you about this in advance.”

Su Jixing was even more speechless for a moment. Recalling when they went to the Freedom store, Lu Qingyu had indeed said this in the car, but who the hell could have thought he was serious?

”Can you not joke around casually in the future?”

Lu Qingyu was very confused: ”I never joke.”

Su Jixing felt white hairs starting to pop out on his head; this kid was a bit hard to manage.

The afternoon advertisement shoot went very smoothly. After finishing hair and makeup, it took less than three hours to shoot four sets, and then it was over.

Sun Yiru went back to tally today’s data, and when she saw the figures on the computer, she couldn’t even believe it.

As of 5:00 PM, 350,000 pairs of the new flat shoes had been sold. Their inventory had long been sold out, and 150,000 pairs were pre-sales.

This record by Lu Qingyu broke their record for the past ten years at Freedom, and the sales volume was even fiercer than those A-list celebrities they had hired before.

The colleagues in the office who had previously been jealous of Sun Yiru were now silent; seeing Sun Yiru, they could only make snide remarks behind her back.

Yang Yutong was so excited seeing this data that she felt she could work overtime all night. She had been in office for so long, and many people below her were unconvinced; she had always wanted to find a project that could shut those people up, and now she finally had one.

Lu Qingyu became famous overnight, and his advertising endorsements came in overwhelmingly. Su Jixing was incredibly happy to see so many endorsements.

The more money Lu Qingyu made, the better Qingcheng Entertainment developed.

Following Lu Qingyu’s instructions, Wang Ning finally seized the initiative in the short dramas track.

”the temptation to go home” became a huge hit online. Now, whether on the subway or in cafes and restaurants outside, everyone would open their phones in their spare time to catch up on ”the temptation to go home”. Wang Ning was overjoyed when he saw this phenomenon while buying coffee in the morning.

What’s more worth mentioning is that they received quite a few advertisements. The advertising revenue for just this one short drama, ”the temptation to go home”, amounted to over 3.6 million. You have to know, when they first started filming ”the temptation to go home”, the budget was only 200,000.

With the subsequent online revenue, Wang Ning now wanted to put Lu Qingyu on a pedestal; he never had to worry about being unemployed again.

Now, Lu Qingyu didn’t need to arrange work for Wang Ning; Wang Ning did it himself.

Qingcheng Entertainment moved to a larger office. Because the production cycle for short dramas is short, with an average cycle of one week per script, and they had five crews filming simultaneously, the efficiency was extremely high.

In order to have a continuous supply of scripts, Wang Ning also signed many screenwriters who specialized in writing short dramas. By the time other companies just started seeing the track for short dramas, Qingcheng Entertainment had already fully developed and completely occupied this space.

After ”the temptation to go home” finished airing, the total revenue, including copyright, advertising, etc., actually reached 49 million. Wang Ning was stunned when he finished the statistics.

Wang Ning called Lu Qingyu: ”Boss, why don’t you terminate your contract with Black Pearl and come back to Qingcheng Entertainment? We will nurture you.”

Lu Qingyu: --- I hadn’t noticed, Wang Ning is getting a bit cocky.
