Chapter 451 you are the 29-year-old old man
Time silently entered December, and the pre-launch activities for "Queen" became increasingly abundant. Trending searches, trailers, and advertisements featuring various celebrities brought the variety show to a climax.
Now everyone in the industry is mocking. A small company like Peak, they have been making a wedding dress for someone else; look around now, who even knows that "Superstar Transformation Camp" is about to start as well?
The entire team at Peak endured tremendous pressure as the show entered the last stage of filming; even though no one was optimistic, and the previously secured sponsors had withdrawn their funding, it didn’t matter, for the newborn calf does not fear the tiger.
In mid-December, "Queen" launched, and on the night of its premiere, it set a viewership record and topped multiple trending searches, basking in unparalleled glory for a moment.
That same evening, Shi Lan was drinking at Jin Qiu’s house.
"I’m sorry, Sister Xiaojin, for dragging you into this and making you shoulder such heavy pressure. The station head, considering my relationship with Yan Shixiu, won’t trouble me, but he’ll definitely put pressure on you. So tonight, I made a special trip over to apologize," Shi Lan said, handing a poured glass of red wine to Jin Qiu.
"I’m an old friend of the station head, this bit of pressure is nothing. I don’t think this situation poses any real difficulty for you. You’re someone who keeps things close to the chest. Your big move must still be coming, and I’m waiting to see your turning battle. Of course, Qiu is indeed furious, think about it – such a great project, but just because the other side got ahead, they took the advantage. How could he not be hopping mad? However, rest assured, we’re all used to the rise and fall in the entertainment industry. Until the final outcome, no one can claim to be the winner. Just go ahead and do what you have to do," Jin Qiu said.
"With your words, I’m relieved," Shi Lan clinked glasses with her.
"It’s strange to say, but Peak, as a new company, if it were any other team, they would have thought about terminating the contract and cutting their losses promptly. Yet, under such high pressure, you manage to operate in an orderly manner, which is a miracle in itself."
That’s because Shi Lan had spent a lot of effort balancing various interests.
