Chapter 501: It’s Clearly My Husband Who Provides for Me
"Allure’s finale shatters the 20 billion view count barrier!
It broke all records for TV and online drama view counts!
Not only that, it catapulted a whole slew of actors to fame.
Because Allure was so broke at the start that they couldn’t even lift the lid off their pot, so to speak, they couldn’t afford many actors. As a result, the vast majority were sponsored by Hongtu as a gesture of goodwill.
In other words, they didn’t have to pay these newcomers anything.
It might seem like those people got a bad deal, but now that Allure has become a huge hit, all of the actors have caught fire!
Their schedules are packed until their hands hurt, and Hongtu has made a killing!
Not only did Hongtu’s talents make a comeback, but the Youju streaming platform had a miraculous turnaround as well!
Thanks to Allure’s exclusive release, downloads went from a few thousand initially to 410 million now!
What does 410 million mean?
The three titans of video sites—Zhengju Video at a total of 520 million downloads, Zhuiju Video at 420 million downloads, and Chaoshi Video at 380 million downloads.
This means Youju has now squeezed into the top three video sites!
From a website on the brink of closure to now being in the top three, how terrifying is this counterattack!
And the download counts are still rising.
"Allure" has completely changed everyone’s view of Youju.
’A conscientious website’, ’the site with the keenest eye’—praises like these are being thrown their way without costing a dime.
The CEOs of Zhengju, Zhuiju, and Chaoshi spat blood in frustration!
If only they had known Allure would be this explosive, they should’ve snapped it up when they had the chance.
Now look at them, choosing Deep Palace, which soared initially, but after half a month, the combined view counts of all three giants haven’t even breached 50 billion!
Spitting blood!
And that’s not even the worst of it.
What’s more embarrassing is that by the third week, Deep Palace started feeling the pressure from Allure and designed to air two episodes every night for damage control, yet still no one was interested.
An absolute face-slapping moment!
Their faces were swollen from the impact!
With such great success, Xia Weibao still looks worried, which Leng Yan finds incomprehensible.
Her Majesty the Empress naturally wouldn’t think about the Dog Emperor anymore.
So she looked at Leng Yan expressionlessly, ’Boss, when are you going to pay my acting fee, and can my rest area get a renovation? With you being so stingy, how could I not be sad?’
Leng Yan, ’...’
Xu Jiayang, ’...’
Xia Shi, ’...’
That... is indeed quite sad.
Leng Yan has become the biggest winner, yet he’s still so stingy.
With him, don’t even mention living the good life; you can’t even get a sip of plain water.
Leng Yan’s face twisted awkwardly.
Xia Shi cleared his throat, ’Um, boss, my salary hasn’t been paid either, and Baby’s personal rest area really needs some renovation.’
After all, Xia Weibao is Hongtu’s Top Sister. Yet she doesn’t even have a sofa in her personal rest area, and every time she comes to the office, she has to head to the president’s office. Isn’t it embarrassing to mention this to others?
The look on Leng Yan’s face, you don’t even want to talk about how terrible it was.
’I’ve given it, given it all, let’s hold off on renovating the rest area for now. My president’s office is being used as your rest area—aren’t you satisfied? Look at all the artists in the company, who else can come and go from my office as they please?’
Money, oh, the lack of money!
Even though Hongtu has now set ablaze a group of talents, it’s not like they could make money that quickly.
Allure certainly did make money, but it just went to paying off loans, and the company bought itself back.
But he still doesn’t have his house and car back.
He’ll have to continue staying at Xu Jiayang’s place.
’You’d better start taking on announcements. You think the company’s feeding you for free?’
Xia Weibao, ’...’
Do you have the nerve to say the company’s feeding me!
Clearly, it’s my husband who’s supporting me.
