In the practice room, everyone was busy rehearsing the new play, while Jiang Hua had nothing to do.
No one dared to tease him anymore after seeing how he had reprimanded Junjun that morning.
He was just like Teacher Mao and the others, a bit scary.
However, at this moment, Jiang Hua was considering how to make money. There weren't many part-time jobs within the system that could make money.
Among them, the most suitable for him should be writing novels, as well as getting revenge on Huayi and targeting their new star Wang Kai.
Recording songs would also cost quite a bit of money.
So he would write online novels. This thing brought in money fast. He had heard that top online novel authors earned millions per month.
During the time when Jiang Hua was sick, he liked to read online novels, but he didn't know the situation within the circle. He only heard that it was very profitable.
He took advantage of a break to open his phone and take a look.
The platforms were still those few platforms: Tomato, Singularity, 17Q, Flying Donkey, and a few other big websites.
The two largest websites among them were Tomato and Singularity.
The Jiang Hua of this world didn't like to read online novels, so he wasn't very familiar with them.
He downloaded two apps and took a glance at the novels on the ranking list. He immediately fell into a state of ecstasy.
Holy shit, the Five Whites of Central Plains, the Twelve Heavenly Kings, and Hall of Fame authors were all there, but their works were completely different!
Jiang Hua didn't know which platform to choose. He only hoped to make some money as soon as possible.
After comparing, Jiang Hua still felt that Tomato was a bit easier to make money on. Of course, Singularity was the place to prove oneself and become a god.
But for new authors, they had to reach 300,000 words before they could start earning, and they had to go through several rounds of PK. A month would pass by just like that.
It was decided. He would first try to make some quick money on Tomato to test the waters, and then go to Singularity if he wanted to make big money.
But which book should he write? Jiang Hua was a bit confused.
"Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua."
Li Yunxiao waved her hand in front of Jiang Hua's face. Jiang Hua immediately came back to his senses.
"What are you daydreaming about? Teacher Mao is calling you to take a look at the theater."
Teacher Mao was a pillar of Xiaobaihua. She used to be the troupe leader and was now in charge of matters on the theater side.
It should be because the new play was about to open. As the nominal scriptwriter, he had to go take a look.
Jiang Hua clapped his hands and walked out of the practice room.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This guy's demeanor when reprimanding Junjun in the morning had been a bit scary.
"Who exactly is the newbie here?"
Someone muttered, and everyone chimed in.
"Exactly, exactly. Jiang Hua isn't cute at all. He even made Junjun cry."
"Oh, stop talking about it. He's doing it for Junjun's own good. Practicing in the middle of the night is very damaging to her body."
"Hehe, I took a picture of Jiang Hua holding Junjun this morning. Yunxiao, your husband was carried away by someone else."
"Hahaha."
Haha, everyone laughed uncontrollably.
There was a saying that one should not leave the troupe. Yunxiao played the female lead role, and Junjun played the young male role. The troupe members had long ago paired them up as a CP.
Yunxiao tilted her head and retorted, "We're the official pairing. He can't take my place."
...
Jiang Hua rushed to the Yue Opera theater. An immersive stage was being set up here.
Yue Opera was known as the second opera genre, second only to Peking Opera. It was also very young, with only 100 years of history.
It had always been on the path of innovation. No one knew if this innovation would be effective.
As soon as Teacher Mao saw Jiang Hua walk in, she grabbed him.
"Little Jiang, have you officially started work? Have you had your physical exam?"
Jiang Hua rubbed his nose. He had to put self-disciplined exercise on the agenda. Even Teacher Mao thought there was a problem with his physical exam.
"I passed. I'm very healthy, just a little overweight."
"That's good then. For the next few days, come to the theater. Our new Dragon Gate Inn will have its first performance in three days."
Many people's efforts had allowed Yue Opera to become the second opera genre in a short period of time.
In the practice room, everyone was rehearsing day and night.
In the theater, the staff was also speeding up the construction of the stage. Everyone was of one heart.
Jiang Hua liked this atmosphere very much.
He immediately entered work mode and worked with the others to optimize the stage, lighting, and set design.
Jiang Hua had decades of behind-the-scenes work experience in the entertainment industry. It wasn't difficult for him to get started.
Seeing Jiang Hua gradually taking control of the situation, Teacher Mao pulled another teacher aside and asked, "Is this the treasure our Director Cai dug up? I initially thought he was too young. I still wanted to keep an eye on him. Look at this, there's nothing left for me to do."
The teacher next to her said in a low voice, "Jiang Hua used to be in the entertainment industry and was even popular for a while. Director Cai's younger daughter is his fan."
"Haha, no wonder. Old Cai won't let her daughter come to the troupe anymore. Is she afraid the cabbage will be eaten?"
The two of them laughed loudly.
Time really flew by when working seriously. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
But everyone was working hard. Jiang Hua was also infected by this atmosphere. Making money could be done at any time.
They kept busy until late at night and finally finished setting up the stage. The lighting and such were left to professional lighting designers.
Jiang Hua dragged his tired body back to the dormitory.
His body was tired, but he was satisfied in his heart.
He opened his second-hand laptop and registered an account on Tomato.
Pen name: Yan Nanfei
As the saying went, to make quick money, one had to write brainless feel-good novels and pull in hatred from the start.
The God of War Son-in-Law was the primary target. Online novels hadn't developed to this stage yet at this time. It was still the era of traditional fantasy novels.
Novel title: "Hall of the War God".
Chapter 1: Daughter Cries for Help, War God Rages and Blood Splatters Ten Steps.
Having a good memory really made a difference. It was basically copying and pasting.
He wrote 10,000 words and directly posted it on the website, then went straight to sleep.
...
The next evening, he wrote another 10,000 words, finally reaching the signing requirement.
However, Jiang Hua didn't look at the author backend. He was very busy and had no time.
What Jiang Hua didn't know was that with just 20,000 words, his book had already entered the top ten on the new book ranking.
Among the new books opened by various gods on the ranking list, it was very eye-catching.
You could tell just by looking at the names on the ranking list: Four Nine Sound Domain, Pesticide, One Update Master.
You, a newbie who registered two days ago, how did you end up being ranked together with these people?
20,000 words, tens of thousands of readers. You're telling me this is a newbie?
Could it be a pseudonym opened by that big shot? And not just an ordinary big shot.
Moreover, this book was still climbing. By noon, it had crawled to the fifth position.
Most importantly, this book hadn't been signed yet. What the hell was this? This was a blockbuster book! Which editor was so careless? Why weren't they rushing to sign it? Were they waiting for other editors to poach the author?
At noon, the group of big shots under editor Qing Xuan exploded.
This group was full of big shots, all top authors of the website.
The editor was anxious and directly posted a screenshot in the big group.
[Which big shot opened this book? Does anyone know them? I sent them a private message, but they still haven't signed. Could they have been poached by another editor? This is my channel!]
Holy shit, the big shots in the group were all dumbfounded. Editor-dajie had always been as steady as an old dog, rarely having emotional fluctuations.
Now she was even complaining in the group. This author was terrifyingly impressive.
