Blurb 1:
Xu Xidao, a shameless, money-hungry tough nut in the entertainment industry and a ruthless player with a knack for marketing, eventually died a gruesome death because of money.
Except he hadn't quite died. After seeing how his efforts only benefited others after his death, and witnessing one scandal-plagued star after another in this so-called "golden age," he opened his eyes and found himself back at his lowest point.
He'd died so miserably for money in his last life. This time, of course, he wanted to make even more, and to actually earn it and keep it. As for everything else, he'd right every wrong and settle every score.
Blurb 2:
Xu Xidao, formerly a famous producer, was reborn into a difficult situation from the start. He was dealt a hand of worthless cards, with a nobody production team that had nothing. He had to build everything up himself. And then...
Bystander A: I heard Xu Xidao took on another unfinished web series project?
Bystander B: The entire cast is made up of actors below the eighteenth tier. It's bound to flop.
Before long, the web series became a smash hit, and countless minor actors were begging to get cast in Xu Xidao's projects.
Bystander N: Don't ask. Let's just say our eyes aren't great. = =
Agent A: A script from Xu Xidao's team? Our client is an award-winning actress. What kind of no-name project is this? Toss it.
Before long, the TV series was a huge success, and its ratings soared.
Agent A, now out of a job: Don't ask. Let's just say I regret it. T-T
Actor A, an award-winning movie star: What? A Xu Xidao project? He knows anything about movies? Turn it down.
Before long, the film festival awards were announced, and Actor A's rival won the Triple Crown Best Actor title.
Actor A: Don't ask. Let's just say my face hurts.
Much later...
Reporter: Mr. Xu, could you tell us why all the films you produce become hits?
Xu Xidao: Nothing special. I've just gotten the hang of it, haha.
Everyone: As if we'd believe you!
Xu Xidao: Honestly, these days, nobody believes a word you say, even when you're telling the truth.
Please note:
1. The gong and shou have both been in relationships before they meet.
2. This is essentially a brainless feel-good power fantasy. The main point is the brainless fun.
3. Discuss civilly. Feel free to leave criticism, but personal attacks are not welcome. If Ah Mu sees any, they'll be deleted.
4. Updates are daily, usually after 9 p.m. I'll let you know if anything comes up and I need to take a day off.
Theme: Success is the fruit of countless hours of sweat, shed where others cannot see.
