So when Wang Shu set his two scripts at high prices of eight million and five million respectively, he instantly attracted many onlookers.
"Is this guy desperate for money? He dares to set such a price of eight million for a new account, really taking film and television companies for fools?"
"Hilarious, nowadays anyone can be a screenwriter, eight million, even the most famous screenwriters wouldn't dare to ask such a high price!"
"Can Ju Ben Zhi Jia [Script Home] have a price review next time? Is it not to attract attention by letting newcomers directly set such an exaggerated price?"
Many screenwriters browsing Ju Ben Zhi Jia were also drawn to the prices Wang Shu had set.
They began discussing in the exchange area.
Because in their opinion, a new account with no transaction history or background introduction directly listing scripts at eight million and five million was definitely a scam.
After all, according to the current script market in Long Guo, even the top screenwriters only charged around 100,000 per episode of a TV series. A forty-episode series would barely earn four million.
This newcomer, however, directly set a price of eight million, which was more expensive than two top screenwriters combined.
Some script buyers also noticed the exaggerated prices. Without even looking at the scripts, they immediately gave unsatisfactory ratings.
For the film and television industry, the price a screenwriter's script can fetch is highly dependent on the screenwriter's fame.
Many new screenwriters even spend money to have well-known screenwriters co-credit their scripts to get more attention from film and television companies.
Naturally, no company would purchase works from a newcomer like Wang Shu, who had no fame in the film and television industry.
...
After half a day of fermentation, more and more netizens on Weibo began to condemn Qian Yin Group.
Wang Shu's Weibo follower count also began to grow rapidly again.
"Outrageous, simply outrageous! Is this what you did this morning?"
In the office, Ji Cheng was furious, pointing at the screen on the computer and speaking to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi lowered her head, silent.
"You've truly disgraced us at Qian Yin, and you've disgraced yourself!"
Ji Cheng continued to scold Lin Xi. He couldn't believe that Lin Xi, who had never failed before, had not only failed today but also had all her information revealed by the opponent.
Now, netizens all over the internet were condemning Qian Yin Group and him, Ji Cheng.
It was all because of this useless woman who caused him to lose his reputation.
Even their initial rumors spread on Weibo were proven false by Wang Shu's counterattack.
"Wang Shu, and that group of old folks at Jiang Nan TV, I'll see how long you can last!"
Ji Cheng muttered to himself, his face filled with murderous intent.
Although Qian Yin Group's reputation had rapidly declined and they were facing constant criticism and boycotts from netizens, it was ultimately insignificant. The public outcry wouldn't last long; at most, in a few days, these netizens condemning Qian Yin would disappear.
But Jiang Nan TV and Wang Shu were different.
Could Jiang Nan TV continue to operate without its artists? What good would Wang Shu's excellent songs be without a platform?
So he firmly believed that a starving dog would eventually return.
If Jiang Nan TV didn't want to go bankrupt, they would compromise.
Only then would Wang Shu be truly isolated and helpless, and only then would he let Wang Shu understand the consequences of offending Qian Yin!
At night, after finishing writing a script, he received another call from Lu Nan.
On the phone, Lu Nan informed Wang Shu that they had chartered a flight to Hang Cheng with their team, and there would be a competition in Hang Cheng tomorrow.
As the team's coach, Lu Nan invited Wang Shu to provide some tactical guidance to the racing team that evening.
As the saying goes, "He who eats the rice must also serve the pot." Since Wang Shu was taking a salary from these young masters, he couldn't refuse and readily agreed.
After they disembarked, Wang Shu arrived at the designated location as agreed.
Jing Cheng Speed had a total of four participants this time. Lu Nan was the captain, and the other three were familiar faces Wang Shu had seen before.
"Coach, hello!"
Upon seeing Wang Shu, they all bowed to him.
"Hello everyone!"
Wang Shu returned the greeting.
Then he pulled Lu Nan aside.
"Who is your opponent this time?"
Wang Shu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun!"
Lu Nan replied directly.
Wang Shu was slightly taken aback. He clearly didn't know much about an organization called Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun.
"We've competed against Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun before. Back then, we managed a draw.
But recently, Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun has recruited two professional champion drivers from the world championships, which is why they challenged us again."
Seeing Wang Shu's confused expression, Lu Nan quickly explained.
"Good heavens, it seems this Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun is also a team composed of rich second-generation heirs, just like you!"
Wang Shu joked, as recruiting two champion drivers at once seemed like they were spending money carelessly.
"That's not entirely wrong. The members of Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun are basically all rich second-generation heirs from Hang Cheng. Their total wealth might even be greater than Jing Cheng Speed's."
Lu Nan said directly, as racing is something the poor cannot afford. A single good racing car costs millions, and to race on the track, millions more are needed for car modifications.
These expenses are beyond the reach of ordinary families.
Therefore, those who can afford to race are generally the wealthy second-generation heirs.
However, Wang Shu didn't expect that the combined wealth of these rich second-generation heirs from Jiang Nan would surpass that of Jing Cheng Speed.
Wang Shu knew that the people in Jing Cheng Speed were all wealthy, but even so, they were no match for Jiang Nan Feng Huo Lun. This showed how powerful these Hang Cheng rich second-generation heirs were.
After some pleasantries, as the vehicles of Lu Nan's team were being transported by a high-speed dedicated truck, they hadn't arrived yet.
So Wang Shu proceeded to lecture the four contestants on theory and tactics indoors.
It was late into the night, and after hours of lecturing, Wang Shu was even a bit hoarse.
Lu Nan and the other four contestants, however, listened with great interest.
Because they had all witnessed Wang Shu's driving skills, they listened intently to everything Wang Shu said.
Fearing they might miss a single piece of knowledge.
...
The next day at noon, Wang Shu appeared at the starting line of the Jiang Nan circuit with the members of Jing Cheng Speed.
