She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 954 - 837: Super Star 11 (4000)_2

Hua Yan herself sent out a lot of photos and contact information. If she strikes while the iron is hot, she might have more opportunities. But if she returns to Beijing for classes now and waits until the winter break to come again, by then no one may remember her.

However, Hua Yan doesn’t want to become famous too early, which would bring her too much trouble. So she didn’t act recklessly like other kids for the sake of filming.

Therefore, in mid-August, she ended her trip in Hengdian and returned to Beijing.

In July, Zhao Yun had already told her that Doudou went missing again.

This time, Hua Yan was noticeably less anxious than last time. She had already seen that her dog was unlike other dogs, so she didn’t worry about it, always feeling he would come back sooner or later.

After returning to Beijing, her first online novel concluded on August 31 with 800,000 words.

To receive full attendance, she deliberately completed a whole month, haha, it’s quite obsessive-compulsive.

In June and July, she received a total of fifty thousand yuan in manuscript fees (after tax), plus thirty thousand yuan in performance fees, totaling about eighty thousand yuan.

Unexpectedly, before the book was finished, the website said that her book met the standards for publication and asked if she wanted to publish it.

Hua Yan didn’t hesitate at all to agree, because thanks to this novel, her Weibo followers exceeded fifty thousand. This meant her book was truly popular, with an opportunity for publication, why give it up?

But this also meant she had to free up more time to revise the manuscript for publication.

She knew that publishing doesn’t make money; it earns fame. So she didn’t have much hope for publishing, nor did she care about these tens of thousands of yuan.

However, if an online writer has her book published, it means her level is recognized. This is a glorious thing, something others can’t wait for - what qualification does she have to refuse?

The website wanted more than once to use her age of ten as a gimmick to promote her, but she refused every time.

The publication manuscript is still being revised, and the editor is already urging her to submit the next novel, after all, the previous one just ended, so it’s reasonable to keep the Reader interested immediately.

Yet Hua Yan didn’t agree, mainly because her energy was lacking, and organizing the publication manuscript was exhausting, okay?

She’s used to focusing on one thing, so she plans to start writing in November after setting a clear schedule. In September and October, she’ll dedicate these two months to revising the manuscript.

The new novel’s outline is already sorted out, and the opening has already written about fifty thousand words. It’s still an ancient context, only the intrigue moved from the manor to the palace.

Moreover, this time she played a reincarnation angle, adding a bit of fun compared to the previous authentic ancient-style work.

The title for the published book was finally decided as "Heiress Strategy", which passed proofreading smoothly in mid-October, and by the end of October the new manuscript was sorted out again, adding the draft count to one hundred thousand words.

On November 1st, she started updating her second online novel "Worthy Empress Yun Rong", another palace drama focusing on the grand theme of ambitious women.

After returning from Hengdian, she was busy until mid-November, and after the Northern heating began, she suddenly realized that Doudou hadn’t returned yet!!!

Her heart suddenly began to feel uneasy, yet she didn’t have any solution, because she really didn’t know where to start looking, she could only wait for him to come back to find her.

With the manuscript fees from the new novel completed in August, September, October, November, and December, along with the manuscript fees from the completed novel, she earned another 150,000 yuan in manuscript fees.

There’s also the semi-annual prize from the old novel (issued late in January that was due in June) and the channel fee for the first half of 2011. In just January 2012, she received 320,000 yuan in manuscript fees. This number surprised her, she didn’t expect to earn so much from the finished novel.

As such, this money along with her prior savings amounted to 550,000 yuan, and after covering much of the year’s expenses, it reached 540,000 yuan.

After the holiday in January, she didn’t go to Hengdian, as a director previously recommended her for a modern play filmed right in Beijing, with a short filming period of just ten days.

Hua Yan happily agreed, but after entering the crew, she found out there were many night scenes, which posed a bit of a challenge for her.

During the summer vacation, to accommodate the time she transformed herself, she discussed it with the director, and had scenes after 10 p.m. moved to daytime filming.

This time, she didn’t presume she was that influential, so she explained the situation to the director, thinking she couldn’t delay the progress of others. She simply chose not to perform, not expecting that after seeing her makeup rehearsal, they decided on her, saying everything else could be negotiated, which gave her the chance to join the crew, even though the pay was only 10,000 yuan. But Hua Yan was very satisfied.
