“Ugh, I don’t understand this development at all! Even Luo Wenfeng reposted it! Someone saw Lou Shutong and him hanging out at the Wen Shasha store before, but we didn’t see them interact at all in the first episode! Don’t tell me the Sha-Wen CP is going to break up!”
“Are all the amateurs invited to this season of ‘Heartbeat’ just to debut and make money? But the werewolf setting is quite fun. Actually, Wen Shasha might also be a werewolf. She hit it off with Luo Wenfeng right away. No matter who she catches, she can make a fortune in the end.”
“I also suspect that Lou Shutong is just going on variety shows to promote her work. It’s so easy to make money as an internet celebrity these days!”
“Although it’s so melodramatic, I actually watched it all the way through! I’m blown away!! The male and female leads are so good-looking! I have to say, the production quality of this short drama even surpasses some long and tedious web dramas and TV series!”
“I think Lou Shutong is quite cute. After all, she’s still young, so it’s normal for her to be nervous at the beginning, considering that none of the people she was facing were easy to deal with! Most importantly, her short drama is really good! I’ve been watching it for half an hour. Can the updates be faster?!”
…
In the team group chat, Qin Li sent emojis of kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides to Shutong, boasting that he had excellent judgment.
Ai Meng immediately came out and gave him a reality check: [Get the investment sorted out first.]
Only then did Qin Li calm down.
Monetizing traffic isn’t exactly difficult, but it’s not easy either. Generally speaking, it depends on the work and the opportunity.
They were luckier than others because of their excellent teamwork, their captivating presentation, and their high-quality production comparable to big-budget film productions. Plus, with Shutong, a darling of trending topics, they attracted the attention of investors much faster.
What they need to do now is to continue to survive according to their own wishes in the competitive world of capital.
On the other hand, Qin Li knew that investors were more interested in Lou Shutong.
Shutong was aware of all this, but now was not the time to discuss it.
The director sent a big red envelope in the group chat and even tagged Shutong to praise her for her excellent filming. Of course, everyone knew that he was happy because ‘Heartbeat’ had gained popularity!
Not long after, Shutong received a call from the director, saying he could recommend her to a TV station, but not as an editor, but as an intern director.
Shutong simply couldn’t find the time right now, nor could she let go of the unfinished short drama, so she said that she needed to think about it.
The director knew what she was thinking, so he didn’t say anything. Young people have too many choices, and sometimes being in the system can actually limit their potential.
“Don’t you want to go?” Chu Fan asked after she hung up the phone.
“Qin Li just said in the group chat that several companies came to discuss investment today. Compared to the TV station, I prefer a bit more freedom.” Shutong honestly told him.
Chu Fan nodded. Shutong even read out the names of a few companies for him to refer to.
As they chatted, Chu Fan glanced at the time and subconsciously reminded her, “It’s time to sleep.”
He didn’t know when he developed this habit.
Shutong nodded, this time being more obedient, “Okay.”
However, she was only in the bathroom for a short while when she discovered, to her dismay, that her period had started.
She rummaged through the sink cabinet but only found an empty bag.
Chu Fan stood in front of a small wooden bookshelf. The drying box on top was filled with lenses of various focal lengths; there was quite a lot of equipment.
Two hundred thousand probably only bought this much stuff.
“Chu Fan…”
Hearing the sound, Chu Fan turned around and looked over, his voice soft, “What’s wrong?”
Shutong, smiling, asked from behind the door, “Could you go downstairs to the convenience store and buy me something?”
Chu Fan: “Okay.”
Chu Fan readily agreed.
Shutong’s smile grew even brighter.
Five minutes later, Shutong heard noises outside again; it really was Chu Fan who had returned.
He came over and knocked on the door. She opened the door a crack and took out a bag.
Inside was exactly what she wanted.
Soon, Shutong came out, but Chu Fan was not in the room.
She rubbed her stomach and turned around, finally spotting him in the kitchen.
