Chapter 152 The Battle for the Top Spot in Romance Novels
Su Qi's status has risen, and she is expected to become the top female star in dating reality shows.
The entertainment news is released by legitimate media outlets and has nothing to do with marketing.
At that time, Tianhai Media resumed operations due to Su Qi's business, and Lin En was so busy that she basically had no time to read entertainment news.
Su Qi herself was snoring on the sofa. Since her status rose, she no longer needed to do many things herself. Every day when she came to the agency, she either slept or signed contracts, announcements, and shot endorsements.
Su Qi's fans were already in an uproar in the super topic.
After all these years, it's finally over!
[With both rivals' reputations damaged, my sister should be invincible now, right?]
[Is the top female reality show host really paid 80 million? That's great! I hope she earns enough money soon to break free from her ties with the Shen family!]
With only one week left before the recording of the dating reality show, and the selection process already completed, Su Qi, being a pre-selected guest, doesn't need to worry about not getting any gigs.
Zheng Xin was the queen of the dating reality show last season. Now that Zheng Xin is in the spotlight and no longer competing with Su Qi, Su Qi's position is basically secure.
While Lynn was collecting information, she received a fax from the organizers of the dating reality show.
Lynn opened the letter and read: "The dating reality show 'We May Be' invites Ms. Su Qi to be the first female guest on the show."
Lynn was overjoyed and quickly shook Su Qi awake: "Quick, wake up!"
Su Qi rubbed her eyes, groggily tucking the blanket around her: "Hmm?"
"The top female star of dating reality shows earns 8 million yuan in salary."
She paused for a few seconds, then finally reacted, jumping up from the sofa and holding the payment slip: "The queen of romance variety shows?"
Lynn then pulled up the list of promising artists in Singapore this year on her phone.
The artist rankings in Singapore are based on standards set by the entertainment industry and are assessed annually to determine an artist's influence. They are divided into four categories: Potential Artists, Newcomers, Best Artists, and Top Artists.
This list is the sole criterion for judging whether artists receive the best resources.
In just one year, Su Qi went from being universally disliked to a rising star, even ranking first on the list of potential artists.
Anyone who sees this knows Su Qi's influence, so it's well-deserved for her to be the queen of dating reality shows.
"This list is considered the lowest level. Maybe next year I can aim for number one on the newcomer list?"
Su Qi crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa: "I've been working for so long, and I haven't even made it onto the newcomer list?"
Lynn comforted her, saying, "There are too many celebrities in our new country. You're only popular in Hong Kong right now. There aren't many people who know you outside of Hong Kong."
It's actually quite a good deal. Someone of her status can easily earn 8 million in compensation, and those with higher status might earn even more.
However, prices in Singapore are unusually high, so 8 million isn't much when you really think about it.
Su Qi got up to pour water: "What about the other lists? Who's number one?"
Lynn scrolled through the electronic charts: "Gu Xing is number one on the top celebrity list, huh? That's strange."
"what happened?"
“In previous years, Li Yancheng was in first place and Gu Xing was in second place. The two of them had been vying for the top spot for many years. If Li Yancheng hadn’t gone home to inherit the family business this year, he might not have been able to escape first place either.”
Su Qi took a sip of coffee; it was rich and aromatic.
Li Yancheng probably doesn't care much about his status, so it doesn't matter if he drops off the charts.
Lynn continued looking at the list: "Xu Xiaowan is number one on the best artist list. Well, Xu Xiaowan has been very busy lately. I wonder if she will have time to participate in this dating reality show."
"What about another ranking list?"
Lynn's eyes widened as she frantically searched her phone: "The number one on the newcomer list is...yes."
Su Qi tilted her head to look, and it was actually Shen Chaohuai?!
Soon, she received a message from Shen Chaohuai.
Shen Chaohuai: Congratulations on becoming a promising artist, keep it up!
Su Qi didn't reply, but complained to Lynn, "No way, why? He's only been in the entertainment industry for a short time, yet he's a higher-ranking celebrity than me?"
Lynn felt extremely guilty: "It's all my fault. I couldn't give you a strong background and funds. That Shen Chaohuai must have gotten ahead by throwing money at him! So what if he's a rich kid?!"
“That’s true, that’s how it is in the industry,” Su Qi put down her coffee cup. “Male celebrities become famous very quickly.”
Lynn suddenly thought of something: "Hey, that's right. Anyway, you're on good terms with him now, so you might as well ride on his coattails."
Su Qi blushed upon hearing this and awkwardly explained, "Who...who wants to ride on his coattails? I won't accept charity."
“Well, you’d better not rub it at all.” Lynn shrugged.
The fax machine beeped, and Su Qi got up to look for some documents, just in time to see what the fax machine had sent.
A notice.
Lynn took the form away: "Go and rest, this is my job..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Qi saw on the form that "Ms. Zheng Xin has agreed to participate in the dating reality show, and the position of one female guest is yet to be discussed."
"What the hell?!" Now it was Lynn's turn to get angry.
Su Qi, standing to the side, also awkwardly smoothed her hair: "A disgraced celebrity is making a comeback? The organizers of this dating reality show really have nothing to fear."
Su Qi threw down the order form and suddenly realized that the dating reality show was just a way to deliberately create buzz.
She went to the blog and found that the news of Zheng Xin being invited to the third season had already spread.
Netizens are praising the organizers for being generous and giving face to celebrities with bad records.
Su Qi paused for a moment: "Lynn, aren't you curious about who the organizer is?"
This problem had been bothering Su Qi for a long time, but she hadn't paid much attention to it because it had never affected her before.
Not only is Lynn troubled, but people in the industry also want to know who the organizer of the dating reality show is.
Unfortunately, after a long investigation, it seems the organizers deliberately concealed the true background.
“I also want to investigate, but when you got into trouble a year ago, a big shot in the industry investigated it, and the truth was only half revealed before it was forced to stop.”
"So, the organizers intentionally concealed it?" Su Qi thought for a moment.
“Actually, I’ve guessed it might be the Shen family you belong to, or one of the major families in Hong Kong, but…” Lynn paused, “There are rules in the Hong Kong business community that each company’s investments cannot involve more than four industries.”
“A prominent family like the Shen family is well-known in the business world, and it is impossible for them to risk violating the rules.”
"So that's an investment from a business family outside of the main family?" Su Qi sat down.
"It should be, but if it's a dating show invested in by a small family, how could they have so much money to pay the artists high salaries and attract wealthy families to invest?"
The system's screen was brought close to his fingertips. Su Qi pressed the screen and heard a sound.
[The "Finding the Mastermind Behind the Romance Variety Show" event has been triggered.]
Please note that this event is a necessary condition for advancing to the next level.
[Next level of stardom: Third-tier celebrity, requiring a certain level of national recognition.]
Su Qi's brow furrowed. 6? That's terrible.
Just as one problem was about to subside, another arose. Su Qi had barely sat down when a message came from the Tianhai Artists Reception Office.
"Have you heard? Our company's talent scout wants to sign a new artist, apparently it's Qingshan's manager, Shu Yu."
"Huh? Really? Then, Su Qi's status..."
Tianhai only has her as an artist, so resources are naturally tilted towards her. Once a newcomer arrives, half of her resources will be given to the newcomer.
