The first season of "Sumiya" has come to a successful end, but that doesn't mean the end for the characters.
Xiao He publicly posted short articles on various social media platforms, temporarily bidding farewell to the role of Yin Qi.
【Xiao He: See you later, sister. 【Group photo】】
Goodbye, Yin Qi.
Goodbye, and I look forward to seeing you again.
【Yin Qi, we will always wait for you! Please come back to us soon!】
For the busy Xiao He, the airing period was just a blink of an eye, but for many people, it was an unforgettable time when they sincerely watched the drama and witnessed the growth of the main characters of "Yu Ye".
Soon, when Xiao He said goodbye to Yin Qi, his related posts had already become a trending topic.
Fans and viewers alike left their comments below.
In the offline world, Xiao He flew to Beijing specifically to attend the celebration banquet for "Yu Ye".
...
As the ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) largest investor and executive producer of "Yu Ye", Zhuang Hongyi's wealth permeates every detail, such as the restaurant where they had this dinner.
As the car drew ever closer to the Forbidden City in the center, Xiao He's heart pounded with anxiety once more.
Fortunately, the vehicle did not crash directly into the very center, but from the restaurant where they were, they could still see the red tiles of the palace wall in the distance.
The restaurant itself was magnificent and imposing, its red bricks and tiles exuding no vulgarity whatsoever. Inside, there was a painting every ten steps and an antique every five. Xiao He walked on the red carpet, his eyes fixed straight ahead, not daring to think about whether the items displayed behind the transparent glass were genuine or just fakes used by the owner to create an impression.
Haha, but I suppose the owner wouldn't stoop to using counterfeit goods to make a good impression.
In fact, it wasn't just Xiao He; Xiao Chen, who was following Xiao He, only dared to keep her eyes fixed on the ground when walking along this path, afraid that she might accidentally trip and fall, and then knock over something she shouldn't have touched.
Liu Rulan walked at the front. Although it wasn't obvious on her face, it was clear from her steps that she was trying her best to keep as far away as possible from the things on either side.
They were quickly led into a private room.
The atmosphere in the private room was already quite lively. Although the dishes hadn't been served yet, everyone was chatting and the atmosphere was very active.
When they saw that the most important actors had arrived, many people stood up to express their welcome.
"Brother Xiao, over here, over here!"
Yan Shaohan waved excitedly at Xiao He.
Xiao He greeted Liu Rulan, and then Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen took the initiative to sit down at the side table, while Xiao He went to the seat that Yan Shaohan had reserved for him.
"Huh? You've really been rushing to meet deadlines every day lately?"
Xiao He was somewhat surprised to see the dark circles under Yan Shaohan's eyes.
"Hehe, it's because all of you are urging me."
Yan Shaohan said with a hint of resentment, "Senior Brother Zhuang asked me to produce the script for the third season as soon as the second season officially ended."
Xiao He: "...It's so tiring."
Xiao He is pitiful for having to produce both comics and scripts.
However, Xiao He suddenly thought of a question: "If that's the case, why don't you just produce the script first and then the comic?"
Generally speaking, drawing comics does take a bit longer (mainly because Yan Shaohan is working alone, not in a studio), but since he's already creating a comic, Yan Shaohan should already have a general idea and direction for the subsequent plot.
Xiao He felt that instead of waiting for Yan Shaohan to continue creating comics, it would be better to first create and perfect all the subsequent scripts. This way, the production team could take action first, and perhaps the TV series would be faster than the original story.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yan Shaohan suddenly covered Xiao He's mouth and looked at Zhuang Hongyi with a wary expression.
Fortunately, Zhuang Hongyi was chatting with several other producers at the moment and did not hear Xiao He's words.
"Hmm? Hmm—"
Xiao He was manually muted, leaving him completely bewildered.
"My brother, please don't tell anyone about this," Yan Shaohan said, half threatening and half pleading. "I'm counting on this time to get some rest. If you do this, won't I be pressured even more?"
Being pressured to produce artwork is bad enough now, but if Zhuang Hongyi and the others come up with this idea, he'll be pressured to produce both the script and the artwork.
Damn it, if that's really the case, he'll really have to find somewhere to jump!
"Mmm."
Xiao He nodded.
Yan Shaohan then lowered his hand and let out a long breath.
"I heard everything!"
A soft female voice spoke between the two.
"Holy crap!"
Xiao He was alright, but Yan Shaohan was startled. He turned around and saw that Yuan Sitong had somehow squatted down behind them.
"When did you get here? You scared me to death!"
Yan Shaohan complained while clutching his chest.
"Hehe, just now, I arrived right after Brother Xiao and the others."
Yuan Sitong rubbed her hands together, a particularly sly smile on her face, "But I never expected that Director Yan would have such a little secret to avoid being pressured to update the series~~"
Yan Shaohan's face turned pale and then black, then he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, or else later—crack crack!"
He gestured with his hand across his neck.
"Of course I won't say anything carelessly, but shouldn't I get some benefits in return?"
Yuan Sitong, however, was not afraid of him at all. Her eyes lit up and she came up with a good idea.
"What benefits? Let me make it clear first, I absolutely will not add any more chapters!"
Yan Shaohan said with a wary look on his face.
Xiao He looked left and right, appearing hesitant to speak.
Shouldn't he tell these two that since he was able to come up with this idea, Zhuang Hongyi must have already considered it as well?
Since Zhuang Hongyi didn't tell Yan Shaohan, it's likely that he also respects Yan Shaohan's creative freedom and doesn't want to force Yan Shaohan to finish the rest of the story of "Yu Ye" as soon as possible under the pretext of being eager to make money.
After all, squeezing every last drop of value out of "Yu Ye" and Yan Shaohan is not something a businessman like Zhuang Hongyi would do.
Having reached Zhuang Hongyi's current level, he no longer despises the reckless behavior of those who are eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Therefore, Yan Shaohan's concerns and Yuan Sitong's "threat" are actually unfounded.
Before Xiao He could even consider whether he should expose this matter, Zhuang Hongyi called out to him.
"Xiao Xiao, let me introduce you. This is General Manager Wang, and this is General Manager Huang..."
Zhuang Hongyi smiled and introduced the producers and investors around him to Xiao He one by one.
Xiao He immediately greeted the several CEOs with a smile.
These executives clearly knew about Xiao He's situation, and their conversations were subtly probing, suggesting they were very interested in Xiao He and Linghui Entertainment behind him.
Facing these powerful figures, Xiao He remained calm and composed, handling their probing questions with ease.
Soon, everyone was having a pleasant conversation.
"Good, not bad, Mr. Xiao is indeed young."
One of the bosses got into a good chat and looked Xiao He up and down, his face full of emotion.
The other boss, who spoke with a strong Beijing accent, was very interested in Xiao He himself. From the beginning, he deliberately probed Xiao He's views on company management. After a cup of tea, he took the initiative to say, "Mr. Xiao, I'm currently investing in a variety show. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining us?"
"Our company has no plans to expand into the variety show field in the near future."
Xiao He replied with a smile, "But since it was President Huang who invited me, I'm also very curious about the variety show you've chosen. What kind of show is it? I imagine it must be a very promising one."
"Haha, to be honest, it's just a small investment. I told Mr. Zhuang, but he wasn't willing to invest."
The boss, speaking with a Beijing accent, laughed heartily and pointed to Zhuang Hongyi beside him.
Xiao He also looked at Zhuang Hongyi.
Zhuang Hongyi took a leisurely sip of tea, looked at Xiao He, and then shook his head with a smile: "Taking a small risk for a big reward is not in my nature, but if Xiao He is interested, he can give it a try."
Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
Is this an initiative to offer him investment projects?
Why?
Xiao He subtly observed this Mr. Huang, who spoke with a Beijing accent and wore a large string of sandalwood beads. He felt that Mr. Huang's temperament was very similar to someone he knew.
