Chapter 521: Chapter 521: 497: The Production Team's Request_1

Yes.

Holmes is hot!

Many booksellers have started to urgently place orders with Silver Blue Books!

And when the order volume for Chu Kuang’s new book suddenly soared, the senior management of Silver Blue Books held a meeting about this —

Small leaders at the editor-in-chief level, like Cao Dezhi, sat below.

The chief editor and other company executives sat above.

The executives were thrilled, all of them beaming with red faces.

“Chu Kuang is indeed our flagship in Silver Blue, he never fails!”

“I suggest raising the contract level with Chu Kuang.”

“It’s indeed worth considering.”

“The problem is that Chu Kuang’s contract level is already quite high.”

“We can’t think about it now. Other publishers are eager to poach Chu Kuang, If they succeed, we will become a laughing stock. It won’t be a problem of contract regret.”

“Indeed, Chu Kuang must be high priority.”

“But you know, this time I did have some trepidations. I nearly thought that Chu Kuang’s new book wouldn’t sell.”

“…”

Chief Editor Lu Bei smiled, “You have too little faith in Chu Kuang.”

Everyone looked startled, turning their gaze towards Lu Bei.

Lu Bei calmly said, “When Dezhi came to me, asking what to do if Chu Kuang’s new book didn’t sell, I told him, ‘When I was a child, my mom bought me a football, but when it broke, my mom bought me another….'”

“I get it!”

One of the executives suddenly had a realization, “You mean that as long as the new ball is as fun as the old one, there’s absolutely no problem!”

Lu Bei declared enthusiastically, “Exactly!”

Cao Dezhi sitting below gaped, but glancing at Lu Bei, he suddenly gave a thumbs up:

“Chief Editor, you’re wise!”

Everyone nodded, “Truly wise!”

Lu Bei coughed, “It’s just a common sense. I have a suggestion, the chief editor of the fairy tale department is still undecided, I suggest we settle on Lin Xuan…”

Lu Bei looked at everyone, “Who’s for and against it?”

“Sounds good.”

“I agree.”

“No objections.”

“I also agree.”

Everyone seemed to sense that Lu Bei was in a strong position at this time.

Lu Bei nodded with satisfaction, “Very well, it’s settled then. Dezhi did a good job, keep it up in the future.”

The meeting ended below.

Cao Dezhi puffed out his chest.

Sitting next to Cao Dezhi, Ol’ Zhou looked somewhat resentful.

After all, he was the first to arrive…

Well.

Ol’ Zhou was a little heartbroken.

The Fantasy Department was still the hottest department in the company.

But without Chu Kuang, the performance eventually declined.

He didn’t expect that after sending Chu Kuang to the Mystery Department, Chu Kuang never returned.

Poirot…

Holmes…

The birth of two series in a row rejuvenated the Mystery Department, which was initially at the bottom of the company.

Even in the company meetings, Cao Dezhi has started to sit close to him.

Soon after the meeting ended,

Lin Xuan found out that she had been promoted to department editor.

“Wasn’t it said that it will be decided in a few months?”

“Maybe it’s because of your outstanding performance.”

“That makes sense.”

Lin Xuan beamed with positivity, “As long as we work hard and conscientiously, our superiors will see our efforts and contributions!”

…

At home in the evening.

The table was full of delicious food. Sister Lin Xuan excitedly announced that she had become the editor of the Fairy Tale Department.

“Congratulations!”

“Congrats on the promotion!”

Her sister and mother were delighted.

Antarctica was wagging its tail happily.

Lin Yuan smiled, looks like his sister’s work is going pretty well, she managed to get a promotion so quickly!

For Lin Yuan, this was a double blessing.

Lin Yuan had been worried about the prospects of Holmes.

But the current situation indicates that both Holmes and Poirot can be successful!

After dinner.

Lin Yuan returned to his room and went online for a while.

There are now a huge number of topics about Holmes on the internet, Lin Yuan is quite interested in these topics.

Of course.

Aside from topics related to Holmes, there were also updates on “The Masked Singer”.

Now in April,

The recording of the third group of The Masked Singer has broadcasted its first episode.

New mystery singers have appeared.

Of course.

Fish, this time, was not there.

What surprised Lin Yuan though…

Many netizens seemed somewhat dissatisfied when talking about the third group.

In the words of these netizens, it just “lacks excitement.”

Why does it lack excitement?

A netizen shared their feelings:

“In fact, the strength of the third group is stronger than the first two, but it feels less interesting than the first two groups. The fun part of the first episode is all about the Prince of Lanling. No matter if it’s controversial or not, at least people are interested. Some people find the biggest joy in the program is to watch the Prince of Lanling critique the other singers.”

“Then the second episode had no Prince of Lanling.”

“But the beauty of the second episode was Admirable Fish’s harem. The rivalry between the fish was also quite entertaining for the audience.”

“Which highlights how ordinary the third episode was.”

“Without Prince of Lanling, and without the scene of Admirable Fish’s harem, the pure competition of the songs is still exciting, but audiences that have followed for so many episodes will certainly feel like something is missing, it feels like I’m starting to miss Prince of Lanling.”

“…”

In the following comments, many people mentioned “missing Prince of Lanling”.

Lin Yuan was quite moved by reading this.

He wasn’t the strongest performer in the show after all these episodes.

But he seems to hold a somewhat special status in the hearts of the audience.

Just then.

Lin Yuan’s phone suddenly rang.

The person who made this call was Tong Shuwen, the director of the program.

Lin Yuan answered the phone:

“Hello.”

“I’m sorry for disturbing you, Teacher Admirable Fish. I struggled a lot before making this call…”

“What’s up?”

“The program team wants to invite you as a judge …”

“My role in the program is a singer.” Lin Yuan declined.

Tong Shuwen chuckled bitterly, “Without you, the TV ratings dropped a bit. While the results are still good, the singers of the third team are too moderate. And don’t misunderstand, we’re not asking you to be a judge as Admirable Fish, but as Prince of Lanling. To be exact, we hope you can be our special critic.”

Lin Yuan was taken aback.

A special critic in the show?

Tong Shuwen coughed slightly and said, “The audience wants to hear your comments. I think you can consider coming to the program to critique the other singers. To ensure fairness in the program, the Production Team will not give you a vote. Of course, if you want to vote…”

“No need.”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, “I can participate in the commentary.”

Tong Shuwen was overjoyed, “It’s great that you agreed!”

If the Prince of Lanling was just an ordinary singer, Tong Shuwen would not dare to invite him.

It would be too offensive.

But the Prince of Lanling doesn’t care!

As long as the Prince of Lanling unveils himself!

No problem would remain!

“That’s settled then!”

Tong Shuwen’s voice was overflowing with excitement, here comes the storm, little singers!
