Showbiz: You Were Only Supposed to Make Up the Numbers, Not Cash In

Chen Dong accidentally attracts a money-grabbing System and joins a talent show as a sacrificial nobody. Thanks to the fanbase he builds early on and the production team’s antics, he completes the System’s money-making task: establishing more than 20,000 franchise stores nationwide and earning a few hundred million a year while lounging around. “Forget it. I’ve served my purpose for the production team. I’m dropping out! I’m not interested in debuting!” Who could have guessed this was only the beginning? The global film industry grinds to a halt. The money-grabbing System upgrades and creates a livestreaming space in another world, urging Chen Dong, who just wants to laze around, to bring Chinese stories to the world and revive a thousand years of culture. Chen Dong takes Chinese films global and rakes in worldwide box office receipts! “His talent-show songs have become classics, but seeing him spread Chinese culture makes me proud!” “Nice work. We should be making money off foreigners!” “Foreign friends are demanding that certain countries return Chinese artifacts.” “I’m dying. Does Thief Country still apply to have its heritage listed every day? People online are waiting to tear him apart!” “Forgive me for looking down on him back then. So many people go abroad to promote films and barely make a difference!” “From domestic sales to exports, the whole world is learning Chinese.” “So that means the top spot on the Beautiful Country’s Forbes list belongs to one of our own now, right?”
