FWTS Chapter 131 Music Studio

Hou Muyun has quite a few followers on Weibo now, almost 6.5 million, and it's growing rapidly.

Especially after the completion of "Sword Master Chronicles," it's definitely the fastest-growing period for fans during this time, even more than the New Year's Eve Gala.

It's quite interesting that most of them come to follow and then leave harsh comments.

They love "Sword Master Chronicles" so much but hate the author for writing such a book, feeling conflicted and frustrated, so they come to vent their frustration with a few harsh words.

"Starting a new book? What new book! Hurry up and finish the other chronicles first!"

"That's right! Weren't there supposed to be other chronicles? I want to see another one as exciting as 'Sword Master'!"

"Did you just kill off Mo Huan? Just like that? Hurry up and bring her back to life!"

"I hope the new book is similar to 'Sword Master Chronicles,' not written like typical online novels!"

These people who came because of "Sword Master Chronicles" obviously hope to see the same type of novel. Many of them have also read "Master of Swords," and while some got into it, others weren't accustomed to the pacing of online novels.

Soon, these comments were quickly pushed down by other incoming comments.

"Wow, a new book is coming! Can't wait!"

"'Master of Swords' is about to end, afraid of running out of books to read!"

"On the 10th? At that rate, 'Master of Swords' definitely won't finish by then. This is going to be a seamless continuation!"

"Author, what genre is the new book?"

"Um, is the author spamming? Two different dates, which one is it, the 10th or the 20th?"

"Haha, this guy never gets it right!"

"A novel with millions of words and hardly any typos, how can there be such mistakes? Definitely intentional!"

"Just let us guess!"

"Am I the only one who thinks this guy is up to something?"

"...Is it a double release?"

"Um, considering his typing speed, a double release is totally possible!"

"Double release, triple release, quadruple release, I believe it all, but does he even have time?"

"This guy is too good at stirring things up. I really wish he'd just quietly write novels!"

"Who's the person stopping the monkey from singing?"

"Where's the person stopping the monkey from livestreaming?"

"..."

On the 4th, Shi Shiwu arrived in Shanghai from Star City.

"Did you really settle it?"

When Hou Muyun "borrowed" advice from Shi Shiwu, Shi Shiwu knew that things were probably settled, but he didn't know the specifics and didn't bother to ask the adviser.

Hou Muyun nodded and told Shi Shiwu about becoming an investor in the show through copyright and script, which dumbfounded Shi Shiwu.

"You're investing 50 million in the first season, and you became an investor, owning ten percent?"

Although Shi Shiwu wasn't in the entertainment industry, he had some understanding of it and couldn't help but be amazed. "Moreover, did Qingtian Film and Television agree to this? They're not short of money. How did they agree to you?"

Hou Muyun shrugged. "Charisma, perhaps."

Shi Shiwu rolled his eyes. "You don't need to talk to President Wang about this? Are you going to the party tonight?"

Hou Muyun shook his head. "I'll go back to Rui City later. I'm staying here to wait for you to come back because I want to ask for your help with something. Besides becoming an investor, I'll also be involved in post-production and overseeing the music. So, I'm planning to establish a music studio to make it easier for future music production and also for making songs. Since you're experienced in this area, I want to learn from you and have you help me find some people."

Now that the situation with the show has been settled, and without investing money into it, Hou Muyun still has 15 million on hand, so he's planning to prioritize setting up the studio.

However, he's not planning to do it all at once. He'll take it slowly, first establishing a music studio and getting familiar with some of its operations, then moving on to other ideas.

"Overseeing the music? You're really going all out for this show!"

Shi Shiwu had Pineapple call Ah Hui and said to Hou Muyun, "You should go back to the studio first. We'll talk more when Ah Hui arrives. He handles all the small details for me usually, and if you're planning to establish a studio, he knows more than I do."

Soon, Ah Hui arrived. He was in his thirties, with a slight balding spot and glasses. He always had a smile on his face, making him seem very approachable. Hou Muyun had met Ah Hui before, and he remembered him as someone who never seemed to stop talking or moving his hands.

"Monkey wants to establish a music studio? What kind of needs are we looking at? Tell me your requirements first."

After understanding what Hou Muyun needed, Ah Hui seemed to switch on like a machine. For the next hour and a half, his mouth hardly stopped moving, and neither did his hands. He kept talking while flipping through his phone to find various needed items. The most miraculous thing was when he pulled out at least a hundred business cards, each one well-used and old, which made Hou Muyun curious why he didn't just input them into his phone.

Anyway, after this hour and a half, Hou Muyun had gained a good understanding of all aspects of setting up a music studio. Ah Hui talked a lot, and his thoughts were somewhat scattered, but he managed to explain everything thoroughly. Hou Muyun and Xiao Pang both took note of many details.

After sorting things out, they discussed and roughly finalized everything.

Hou Muyun smiled, "Ah Hui, I'll leave some equipment purchases and finding a studio space to you."

Ah Hui waved his hand, "No problem."

Hou Muyun looked at Shi Shiwu and Pineapple, "As for finding people, I'll rely on you two to keep an eye out."

Then he turned to Xiao Pang, "Xiao Pang, you stay here in Shanghai. If anything comes up, lend a hand."

Shi Shiwu nudged Hou Muyun, "And what about you?"

Hou Muyun replied seriously, "I'm responsible for the future development direction of the studio."

"In other words, you don't have to do anything, right?"

"If you want to put it that way... yes."

"Ah Hui, make sure to give this guy a hardship allowance first. If he doesn't get at least a million or so, don't listen to him! Xiao Pang, make sure this guy gets a raise. If he doesn't get an annual salary of at least a million, he should resign immediately!"

Hou Muyun chuckled, "Um, you guys can keep chatting, I'll take my leave!"

He grabbed his bag and hurried out the door.

...

With preparations underway for the film and television series and the studio, Hou Muyun found himself with some free time. It was a perfect opportunity to prepare for his new book. He also needed to find time to finish the other spin-offs of "Master of Swords," and he couldn't delay the comic version of "Sword Master Chronicles" any longer.

During the train ride back, Hou Muyun didn't write. Instead, he organized his thoughts on various matters, ensuring he didn't feel like a headless fly.

As for the new book, it was indeed not just one, as some netizens had guessed, but two. One would begin serialization on the 10th, while the other would start on the 20th. The styles and writing approaches of the two books would be different.

When writing "Sword Master Chronicles," Hou Muyun experimented with a writing style different from typical online novels, and it worked well. So, he decided to open another book with a non-conventional approach, in addition to the one he had already prepared.

Even the serialization methods would be different.
