FWTS Chapter 103 Singer Grand Final

Obviously, Hou Muyun's speculation was correct.

The next day, after waking up, Hou Muyun checked his points first. The daily points surged to 24,000, which was 9,000 points higher than the stable 15,000 from before. This made Hou Muyun, who got up early, feel very good.

Running, ordering food, and writing.

The updates for this month began to slow down to 5 to 10 chapters, which freed up a lot of time for Hou Muyun. Now, he could basically finish updating the novel and manga in the morning, and in the afternoon and evening, he had time to rehearse in the studio.

As for the side stories and the manga adaptations, if he came back early in the evening, he would prepare some, and if he came back late, he would just read for a while and then sleep.

By 9 o'clock, Hou Muyun received two text messages on his phone, both notifying him of bank deposits.

The Qiyue Group and the TT platform both disbursed fees or salaries on the 2nd.

Opening the two messages, although Hou Muyun was somewhat prepared, his eyes still widened, and then he logged into the websites to check the details.

For the novel part, he had previously revised the original contract at the Qiyue headquarters in Shanghai, and the profit-sharing ratio had been increased, naturally resulting in higher overall royalties.

Subscription revenue exceeded 1.2 million.

Because there was an Echelon with a billion and fifteen Echelons with tens of millions, as well as several hundred Echelon leaders, the share of rewards was much higher than the subscription share, exceeding 2 million.

As for the copyright, as of last month, "The Sword Master of Xuanyuan" novel version had been published up to the ninth volume, with sales exceeding 1.5 million copies, with the first volume alone selling over 300,000 copies.

According to the royalty ratio, after deductions, Hou Muyun's share of the copyright income was over 3 million.

A total of over 6.2 million!

The subscription, reward sharing, and publishing royalties for the manga, after tax, also exceeded 2 million.

Among them, as of last month, the sales of the first volume of "The Sword Master of Xuanyuan" manga adaptation were 450,000 copies, with individual volume sales much better than the novel.

The total income disbursed by Qiyue this time, after tax, was over 8.2 million!

The income from the TT platform this month was also much higher than the previous month, as the online audience for each live broadcast now consistently exceeded 5 million. However, last month, almost all the rich viewers in the live broadcast room were pulled over by the administrators to "organize" them to reward and purchase novels and manga, resulting in a final split of around 1.2 million for gifts.

Relying solely on gifts could bring in over a million a month, making Hou Muyun undoubtedly a top-tier anchor from all aspects.

However, this month's salary was not 1.2 million but 2.2 million, with a note in the details indicating that the extra 1 million was a bonus!

Thinking about it, it's not difficult to understand why this million bonus was given.

The eight major platforms failed to poach Hou Muyun, who chose to stay with TT with his original contract. Naturally, there were considerations such as Hou Muyun's waiting for a better offer and other factors, but for the TT platform, it was a huge advantage. TT platform's move was not only to pay for this huge advantage but also to increase the possibility of renewing the contract with Hou Muyun in the future. Taking advantage of others' short-term gains and eating from their mouths softly, in the traditional society of Huaxia, this has always been a tradition.

In short, Hou Muyun's income in November exceeded 10 million, over 10.4 million!

Earning over 10 million a month, it's impossible for Hou Muyun not to be excited, but this income also made him much calmer overall, at least giving him confidence in dealing with financial matters.

Riches should not corrupt!

Hou Muyun felt that he could at least remain calm and composed in the face of ordinary wealth.

In a great mood, he finished writing, and at noon, he went to the studio to have lunch with Shi Shiwu and others. This afternoon and evening, he needed to rehearse all six songs once, and then select the final two songs from them. However, Hou Muyun clearly underestimated Shi Shiwu's decision-making difficulties, and he was very particular about music matters. The final result was that all six songs were rehearsed to perfection, each meeting the performance standards.

According to Shi Shiwu, even if the other four songs were not needed this time, they could be used at the Biennial Summit and in the future.

The six songs rehearsed meticulously on the evening of the 3rd were all taken for a full rehearsal until the rehearsal ended, and Shi Shiwu finally gritted his teeth and decided on the songs to perform.

Time flew by to the evening of the 4th, and at 7 p.m., the audience began to check in and wait for admission. Naturally, Hou Muyun also arrived early at the lounge, where he met other contestants participating in the Singer King finals and their accompanying singing guests, all of whom were famous celebrities, and he knew a few of them. The Second Zhang Duo and Xiao Yu were also there, and the Second Zhang Duo took care of Hou Muyun quite a bit, taking the initiative to introduce him to the other singing guests.

What's particularly interesting is that Zhang Xuan is also here, the singer who cursed Hou Muyun the most viciously in the "fight video incident" before, and later, Hou Muyun almost exposed his Weibo and Taobao accounts while live streaming. Zhang Xuan was once very popular, but due to contract disputes, he was shelved for a while. In the past two years, he has signed with a new company and gradually improved. This time, he is serving as a supporting singer for another "senior brother" in the company, which may have some company "mission" factors involved.

Speaking of which, among the people present, in Zhang Xuan's view, only Hou Muyun was less experienced and had a lower status than him. But what made him unhappy was that this historically weakest supporting singer was even more popular than himself, and even the host of this Singer Grand Final, Wang Han, came and chatted with him. When shaking hands and greeting Hou Muyun, Zhang Xuan showed a generous smile, but there was inevitably a hint of disdain in his eyes. Then, his smile suddenly became very forced because... Hou Muyun's handshake was very strong. Although it lasted less than two seconds, Zhang Xuan felt like his fingers were going to break. What made him even more angry was that so many people were watching, and he couldn't get angry and had to maintain a smile!

Around 8 p.m., the venue was already prepared, and the final countdown of the last ten minutes began. Mango TV had already started playing interviews and other prepared segments related to today's Singer King competition. At the same time, viewers in front of their TVs and computers were waiting eagerly. "Singer" final Singer King competition was undoubtedly the hottest variety show of the evening. Many people had gathered at the Ruicheng Yijia Tabletop Game Bar, Xiao Huaban's house, Da Fei's house, and Hou Muyun's house. There were also crowds in the hospital room where Hong Jiangbo was in Shanghai and the rest lounge of the Qiyue headquarters. Various groups related to Hou Muyun chatted while waiting for the program to start.

At 8:10 p.m., after the final ten-second countdown, the screen switched to the "Singer" studio. In the spotlight, host Wang Han took the stage, greeted by enthusiastic applause from the audience. After Wang Han's opening remarks, he briefly explained the rules of this Singer King final and introduced the first group to perform. The first group to perform in the first round was Tang Weiwei and the Second Zhang Duo, who performed a rock song very successfully, setting a good tone for the Singer King final. Shi Shiwu's performance was scheduled for the fifth, neither too early nor too late, right in the middle of the nine groups.

"Please welcome the fifth group of competing singers and their accompanying singing guests!"

After Wang Han's introduction, the camera focused on the stage entrance. Under the spotlight, Shi Shiwu and Hou Muyun walked out together. They were both wearing suits, one in white and the other in black, looking handsome and refined, one more delicate and the other more sunny, pleasing to the eye. The two walked to the two pianos placed in front of the stage, already arranged together, and sat down facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.

Double piano performance!

This made everyone's eyes light up. This form had never appeared on the "Singer" stage before. Those who came to watch felt it was novel, while those who knew the inside story felt it was powerful. The difficulty of a double piano performance was not simply two people sitting down and cooperating if they knew how to play the piano! The performance was not only very difficult, but also required the ability to creatively interpret the music. The two looked at each other and placed their hands on the piano keys. Shi Shiwu's hands flowed over the piano keys, followed closely by Hou Muyun. The piano sounds played by the two, one after the other, were graceful and flowing, with notes intermingling to create a beautiful melody that rose and fell alternately. This double piano performance gave the audience a unique and wonderful feeling, and at the same time, they learned what song the two would be singing.
