Kang Mucheng has been very busy recently.
Although Lu Xue's case caused considerable trouble to the book signing event, Jian Jing solved the case on the spot, which became a sleepy pillow for the reporters and heated up the topic immediately.
Regardless of the hot discussions online, the sales of "Devil Doctor" are actually rising, which is more real than anything else. He freed up his hands and investigated the company's internal affairs. He found out the insider who tipped off the reporter. As expected, he was bribed by another company, and he fired him immediately regardless of the reason.
In addition, I also have to keep an eye on the installation of a security system in Jian Jing's home.
Kang Mucheng was originally worried that Jian Jing would ask further questions, but although she had some doubts, she still trusted his judgment and agreed with his suggestions, which made him secretly relieved - if she asked, he really didn't know how to respond.
For some reason, he always felt that Jian Jing was different after she was rescued from suicide.
Sensitivity becomes sharpness, and overthinking becomes carefulness. People are still the same people, but their original weaknesses have become characteristics.
Kang Mucheng had no idea why there was such a change. It was just that a baby who was just learning to walk needed the support of an adult, but a grown-up child would no longer want to be held by someone's hand all the time.
The same is true for writers and agents.
She is weak, so he has to be tough; when she starts to become strong, he has to give her more freedom.
Kang Mucheng looked at the stack of documents in his hand, pondered for a long time, and finally dialed the phone: "Jingjing, are you home? I'm coming to see you. I have something to talk to you about."
He went to her home as if he knew the place well, and got straight to the point: "I want to talk to you about work in the second half of the year."
Jian Jing was very surprised: "Aren't you going to write Devil 2 in the second half of the year?"
"It's not a writing plan." Kang Mucheng threw the materials on the coffee table and went to the kitchen to make coffee. "Jinwu will have several activities in the second half of the year, including a book signing tour, a cultural tour group, and university lectures. Do you have any that you like?"
It is certainly okay for writers to focus on writing, but most people are not averse to publicity activities. As the saying goes, good wine needs to be promoted despite being hidden in a bush. Making friends with more people in the circle will be of great help to future development.
Jinwu Publishing House not only publishes books, but also regularly organizes activities within the industry.
Book signing tours involve gathering a group of writers to hold book signings in multiple cities, helping each other out and making their presence known, while also having a travel party. Cultural tour groups work with certain tourism departments to invite writers to travel along specific routes for publicity.
As for university lectures, it is even simpler. You can go to various universities to give lectures and promote your own products and cultural knowledge at the same time.
After reading the information, Jian Jing asked, "What are your suggestions?"
"Universities generally prefer traditional writers. The other two are good, and food and accommodation are all included." Kang Mucheng gave a fair evaluation, but did not give any clear suggestions.
"Is there anything more fun?" Jian Jing showed little interest.
Kang Mucheng was silent for a moment, then said, "There is another one, Fei Niao Entertainment's "Haunted House Adventure"."
Jian Jing was full of questions: "What is 绊?"
"It's a reality show that invites celebrities to explore haunted houses in various places. The second season will be filmed soon, and we are short of a guest star, so I invited you." Kang Mucheng replied.
She was even more confused: "Why did the variety show invite me?"
"It's been quite popular recently, and it fits their show style." Kang Mucheng paused and said bluntly, "Feiniao Entertainment invested in "Devil Doctor", which is a win-win for them."
Jian Jing suddenly realized and couldn't help being moved.
Going to a haunted house to explore is indeed much more interesting than other activities. However, filming a show with celebrities is bound to cause trouble. The entertainment industry is too complicated.
"What do you think?" She asked for opinions out of habit.
"The other guests are all stars, and you're at the bottom. You'd better be mentally prepared if you go." Kang Mucheng didn't mention it before, but he had actually exposed his inclination.
He thinks Jian Jing is not suitable for participating in such a high-profile program. Standing in front of the camera with celebrities will put her under much more scrutiny than in the past, and the pressure is far more than when "Devil Doctor" was released.
Jian Jing understood, but looked hesitant.
"Are you going?" Kang Mucheng sat beside her and asked patiently, "Jingjing, tell me your idea."
After a brief hesitation, she nodded and admitted, "I'll go."
Variety shows are very popular, and after participating, her fame will definitely increase significantly. She doesn't desire fame, but fame can draw cards. Whether it is because of the high crime rate or the hidden crisis of Blood Rose, she must improve her strength.
Although there are rewards for solving a case, human lives are involved. In comparison, becoming famous is undoubtedly more appropriate.
Kang Mucheng didn't know her real purpose, and confirmed again and again: "Are you aware of the consequences?"
"Isn't it just one session?" Jian Jing thought carefully, "If it's not suitable, I won't go."
Although Kang Mucheng didn't watch it, other people also went to other activities, but this was Jian Jing's invitation alone. If successful, it would be of great benefit to her and Jin Wu.
He nodded and said, "You can go, but you have to do your best."
Jian Jing: “?”
"This is an adventure and reasoning program. It's understandable if the stars can't do it well, but if they can't do it well, the reputation will be bad." Kang Mucheng emphasized, "Are you confident?"
She hesitated and said something very confidently, "It should be... okay, right?"
"Haunted House Adventure" is a reality show with 5 permanent guests and 1 flying guest. In each episode, the guests will be sent to a haunted house for adventure. They must find various clues hidden in the haunted house and meet certain necessary conditions before they can leave.
A very famous episode in the first season is called "The Real Story of a Haunted House".
It tells the story of an old house from the Qing Dynasty, where all kinds of strange noises and shadows often appear, and several generations of owners have been mysteriously trapped at home. The guests have to search for clues in the old house, piece together the truth of the death, find the resentful soul that is causing trouble, and finally use the magic spells recorded in ancient books to save the resentful soul to complete the task.
This alone would not be enough, but the problem is that the haunted house itself is indeed an old house from the Qing Dynasty, and some inexplicable strange events have indeed occurred there.
A real haunted house.
However, the resentful spirit is just a show effect. At the end of the story, the guests learned that the so-called resentful spirit was actually a baby girl who was drowned in the early years. It is obvious that the producers are using ghosts and gods to explore human nature.
Jian Jing went to watch the first episode specifically. All the stories were interesting, but the most entertaining part was the guests themselves.
It's very relaxing to see them screaming in fear.
Especially Jiang Baiyan.
Before watching the show, Jian Jing's impression of him was: a well-behaved, sensible, sweet-spoken and handsome big boy.
After watching the show: Hahahaha.
All the prestige that "Kids Playing Hide and Seek" had created is gone.
She couldn't help but send him a WeChat message to get information in advance: [Is the haunted house really that scary?]
Jiang Baiyan responded very quickly: [Super super super scary! ! The camera showed it very brightly, but in fact it was pitch black, there was no light at all, and the flashlight sent to us only had a little light, and it was red. The scene was really super super super scary! ]
Jian Jing: [Thinking.jpg]
Jiang Baiyan: [Have you decided to come, teacher? It doesn't matter, I will protect you]
Jian Jing: “…”
She took a screenshot of a GIF of him jumping up in fright and sent it to him.
[The other party withdrew a message]
Jiang Baiyan: [kneeling and begging Teacher Jingjing for protection]
She: “Pfft.”
All in all, it looks like a lot of fun.
A week later, Feiniao Entertainment signed a one-term contract with her and released a preview on its official Weibo account.
Haunted House Adventure v:
is a hotel located deep in the mountains. The milky white wallpaper is spotted with mold, the red door is full of scratches, and how many secrets are hidden under the dirty carpet? Where will the wandering soul go
The first episode of the second season of "Haunted House Adventure" will officially start recording on August 10!
Cao Yu, Zheng Keyan, Jiang Baiyan, Han Bo, Cai Tonger, mysterious guests, stunning arrival~~

Jian Jing: “…” Who am I, where am I, what are they talking about?
On Sunday, August 9, Jian Jing flew to the recording city a day in advance and checked into the hotel booked by the producer.
At the door, she met three different waves of fans.
One group was from Jiang Baiyan, holding signs in their hands; one group was from Zheng Keyan, also holding signs; one group was from Cai Tonger, still holding signs… The three camps were clearly divided, and if he shouted once, I had to shout once too, and no one was willing to admit defeat.
Jian Jing was amazed.
She did some research on the plane and was able to barely tell who her companions were.
Cao Yu, also known as Advisor Cao, is a talented actor, 33 years old, married, not handsome, but with regular features and high IQ. He is a father-in-law who loves his family and often posts photos of his wife and daughter on Weibo.
Zheng Keyan, a big star, a popular actress, is 30 years old, divorced, has a bright and generous appearance, and is set up as a strong woman. She has starred in many TV series and has a high popularity.
Han Bo, singer, 25 years old, unmarried, mixed-race, handsome and masculine, lively and outgoing, and responsible for creating an atmosphere.
Cai Tong'er, a young actress, is a member of a girl group. She is 20 years old, good-looking, and a foodie. She occasionally posts silly jokes.
Jiang Baiyan, a popular and talented actor, is 19 years old. (The program crew thought he was) a handsome and steady young man, but (in fact) he is surprisingly timid.
Also, there are two major CPs in this show, one is the water-fire CP, which is Han Bo and Jiang Baiyan, and the other is the red-white CP, which is Cai Tonger and Jiang Baiyan.
In summary, Kang Mucheng has three warnings for her:
First, don't get too close to Cao Yu. Married male actors must stay away from him. Respect your seniors and don't argue with him.
Second, don't get too close to Han Bo and Jiang Baiyan. They have a lot of fans, and if you create a scandal, you will be scolded;
Third, don't get involved in the conflict between Zheng Dahua and Cai Xiaohua, as you can't afford to offend either of them.
Jian Jing was confused: "Then what should I do?"
"Battle wits and courage with ghosts."
"… "
That night, the follow PD (follow director) found Jian Jing and briefly explained the filming process to her.
"There will be no PD following behind the haunted house. It's all cameras filming. Teacher Jian, don't be nervous." The PD following Jian Jing was a young girl who explained patiently and carefully, "There is a safe house inside. You can eat and go to the toilet, but the filming usually doesn't end. Today, we will continue filming."
Jian Jing: "I understand, there is a problem."
"Teacher Jian said."
"Is the haunted house we're going to tomorrow actually a hotel? Or is it a haunted house that was built by someone?"
PD said: "Yes, it was originally a hotel, and some strange rumors have been heard in the past. We have made some modifications to the house, but some places have retained the original traces, everything is very real."
