Lu Chen had written the script for 'Full House' in meticulous detail. With a few revisions, it could easily be published as a novel. The printed draft was thick, and Chen Fei'er read it seriously, spending hours without finishing it.
But she already had a clear idea of the story, a romantic comedy.
Chen Fei'er liked the script very much, especially the male protagonist's character. Her role as a popular online novelist was also a trendy profession at the moment. The chemistry with Lu Chen, playing a big-screen superstar, promised a different kind of spark, just imagining it was fun.
However, some details needed clarification; otherwise, she wouldn't sleep well that night.
At Chen Fei'er's level, fame and fortune were no longer her goals. She wanted to elevate her career, to enter a broader arena, that was her true aspiration.
The success of 'Autumn in My Heart' had allowed her to take a major step forward. This new series was not merely a bonus; it would lay the foundation for her career in the film and television industry.
How could she not care?
Lu Chen said, "I'm preparing two versions of this series: a domestic version and a Korean version. The domestic version will have different character names, so it won't match the script you're reading now. The novel and TV adaptation will be released simultaneously."
"Also, we're collaborating with SPG to incorporate Korean storylines, filming in Seoul and Jeju Island, which will help expand our reach in the Korean market."
Two months was enough for Lu Chen to meticulously plan the shooting schedule, considering investors, partners, character settings, story backgrounds, filming locations, marketing, and promotion. Everything was accounted for.
If 'Autumn in My Heart' had been their entry into the market, planting seeds, then 'Full House' was their weapon to conquer it, meant to reap maximum profit.
'Autumn in My Heart' was expected to bring in over 30 million RMB for him and the Workshop. For 'Full House', Lu Chen's target was 50 million+!
This was by no means unrealistic. Product placements, domestic premieres and reruns, online rights, overseas rights, novel adaptations, animated adaptations, a popular IP could generate staggering revenue.
The investment in 'Full House' would far exceed that of 'Autumn in My Heart'. With such high stakes, Lu Chen naturally devoted himself entirely to the project.
So when Chen Fei'er asked questions, Lu Chen spoke confidently and fluently, leaving no hesitation, radiating mastery and certainty.
There's a saying: those who work diligently are the most attractive. At this moment, in Chen Fei'er's eyes, Lu Chen was undoubtedly a captivating man, focused, eyes bright, exuding immense confidence.
It was precisely this confidence that stirred feelings in Chen Fei'er once more.
Playfully, she used her foot to gently hook Lu Chen's calf, rubbing softly and gradually moving upward.
A mischievous glint shimmered in her eyes.
Lu Chen was no fool. As they spoke, he sensed something was off.
Realizing the truth, he flew into a sudden rage, unable to restrain himself any longer. With a low growl, he pinned Chen Fei'er beneath him.
Suddenly, the room was filled with springtime warmth!
The night was long, but lovers were never lonely.
Not lonely, either, was Whale TV. The next morning, the country's top-three livestream platforms ran a massive homepage advertisement, congratulating the celebrity streamer for exceeding 1 million in a single livestream reward!
The star was, of course, unmistakably Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's roughly three-hour livestream the previous night had garnered the equivalent of 1.37 million RMB in virtual gifts. According to the revenue-sharing agreement, the money he received was well over a million.
It was the first time this had ever happened since Whale TV was established. Had they not advertised it, someone might have been struck by lightning!
Due to copyright restrictions, Whale TV couldn't use Chen Fei'er in the promotion, but this level of publicity was enough to attract attention from many stars, artists, and media in the show-business community.
Many media outlets reposted Whale TV's press release. Some online entertainment platforms even embedded Chen Fei'er's livestream video, giving Whale TV a huge wave of free publicity.
The media's focus varied. Some highlighted the fact that the livestream rewards exceeded one million RMB, using it as an opportunity to introduce this rapidly growing online industry and explain how it captures viewers' attention.
Others focused on Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, speculating that the two were already living together. They analyzed, in a matter-of-fact tone, that their careers were booming while their relationship remained solid, hence the public display of affection.
Many celebrity artists, especially newcomers like Little Ming Star, were stunned by the high profits of online livestreaming. Many of them worked tirelessly running appearances and attending events, yet the income that actually reached them over a year was minimal. Seeing Lu Chen casually singing and chatting on a computer while easily earning over a million naturally inspired envy and jealousy.
As for the vast majority of fans, they didn't care about the million-plus gifts. Their focus was on when Lu Chen's new series would start filming and when Chen Fei'er's new album would be released.
And, of course, how high 'Autumn in My Heart''s ratings would climb in Korea!
From April 15 to 17, KGS aired episodes 11 through 13 of 'Autumn in My Heart'.
Following last week's breakthrough of over 20% ratings for the series Blue, this Chinese drama surged on Korean television, setting a new record with over 30% viewership, reaching 31.05%!
This was already the highest rating achieved by any imported Chinese drama in Korea, and it was closing in on MBC's ongoing hit The Queen's Power, whose latest episode had a 33.29% rating.
The gap between the two was only slightly over 2%!
This caused a stir in the Korean entertainment industry. Observers could see that The Queen's Power, after nearly 30 episodes, had largely exhausted its potential for growth, maintaining around 30% was already impressive, with little chance of rising further.
In contrast, 'Autumn in My Heart's' ratings seemed terrifyingly unstoppable, as if there were no limits.
If it had been a Korean drama, people might have been envious, jealous, or cheering, but this was a Chinese drama!
For a moment, some media outlets cried "The Wolf Is Coming!" claiming that the once-proud "Hallyu Wave" faced the risk of being overturned, that the domestic market might be breached by imported dramas, and that vigilance was required.
Of course, these Korean media were likely exaggerating for sensational effect. The success of 'Autumn in My Heart' was only an exceptional case, but it still revealed interesting trends.
Namely, the market structure was undergoing change.
Lu Chen was undoubtedly one of the key figures stirring up this turbulence.
On April 16, Chen Fei'er's new album went live on a crowdfunding platform, launching a crowdfunding campaign!
