Chapter 875 – Super Celebrity is Born

With Ouyang Shuo’s ability to know the future, he wanted to create a terrifying entertainment holdings that was worth tens of millions. As long as he did not make mistakes, Song Jia would not be far from the goal of entertainment empress.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “Let’s not be too bad. We can open up some of our movies for investment. Toward the actors and directors, we can also consider splitting the box office sales with them.”

Even in the game, shooting movies used up a lot of money. It would be tough for them to swallow the entire cake if they solely relied on their current funds.

“I understand.” Song Jia nodded.

…

At noon, Bing’er returned from school, and they had a reunion dinner. Bing’er was now a princess, and her teacher had been changed. It was no longer an ordinary person anymore.

Ouyang Shuo suggested for Confucius to take her as a disciple, and she would be his only female disciple. This change also showed that within the Confucianism school of thought, an ideological change was slowly occurring.

The Confucians personally led by Confucius were shedding away their stubborn and decayed coats and were being revitalized. It seemed like it would be difficult for Neo-Confucianism to take a footing in the Confucianism school of thought.

There was still a matter that Ouyang Shuo found regretful. Even with Confucius agreeing to replace Jiang Shang as the principal, the system did not recognize the Confucianism school of thought as having moved into the Great Xia Dynasty. There probably was a hidden requirement.

Apart from Confucius, Bing’er also had professionals teaching her instruments, chess, books, and drawing. Each one was a giant within the Xinan University. With such a lineup, it was even better than what some ancient emperors received.

The king’s love for the princess was evident.

Furthermore, the princess was really smart and cute, so she was doted on by everyone. The five teachers often bickered about her schedule and tried to extend the time.

Under such a thick education environment, Bing’er was slowly growing up, making Ouyang Shuo feel really happy.

…

After a short rest at noon, at 2 PM, Ouyang Shuo appeared in the Imperial Reading Room. Within the bright room, Tsing Yi had arrived a little earlier. She had placed a thick stack of memorials on his desk.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that she had been hard at work right away after she got back.

After working together for a period of time, reality proved that Tsing Yi was really exceptional. Her title of a female Zhuge was really true. On many of the memorials, she could come up with ideas that would surprise Ouyang Shuo, saving him a lot of effort.

Tsing Yi was slowly becoming Ouyang Shuo’s biggest helper.

After Ouyang Shuo sat down, he did not rush to review the memorials. On this return to Shanhai City, there were three people who he had to meet. These three were all historical people that moved over after the country was established.

The first one was a lady. She was an absolute beauty and one of the four beauties of China, Wang Zhaojun.

During the first year of Han Emperor, Jian Zhao’s reign, she was chosen to enter the palace as a court lady. Five years later, the Xiongnu leader Hu Hanya came over to choose his concubine and Wang Zhaojun was chosen.

The two of them spent three years together, and she gave birth to a son for him.

During the second year of Jianshi, Hu Hanya died. Zhaojun requested for the Imperial Court to return and give his son the title of Xiongnu ruler.

After she passed away, she was buried in Inner Mongolia. Her tomb was close to the Daqing Mountains and Yellow River, and descendants called it Qing Home.

Speaking of Wang Zhaojun, one would think about her marriage. To the country, such an act brought about peace. However, to her, it was a totally tragedy.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo was really annoyed at marriages used to form relationships. Only the weak people and counties would sacrifice women to protect the so-called peace.

Wang Zhaojun did not come to Shanhai City first. Instead, she went to Zhen An Prefecture to look for Mulan Yue. Mulan Yue had the specialty of attracting female historical people. As such, even if she were not the Lord, people would still go to her.

Wang Zhaojun stayed in her manor for a period of time before coming to the imperial city. Mulan Yue knew that Ouyang Shuo had a B rank questline – Four Ancient Beauties, which was waiting to be completed.

“I am Zhaojun, greetings king!” After Wang Zhaojun entered, she bowed. Her eyes were glowing and eye-catching. In her eyes, there was curiosity, judging, but no fear.

In history, Wang Zhaojun had seen such situations many times, so she naturally would not be afraid.

The Wang Zhaojun that appeared in the wilderness was just a young lady. Her white skin was like that of jade. This was probably how she looked like before she got married, and she definitely had the ability to make cities and empires fall.

Legends had it that when she said goodbye to her land, the sounds of horse neighing and the golden sand all around her made her really emotional, and she played Pipayuan on the horse.

Her exceptional instrument playing and beautiful looks caused the birds in the air to forget how to fly as they all dropped onto the sand.

Hence, one could understand just how beautiful she was.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he could not help but be stunned. Such an absolute beauty was truly hard to meet.

“Please rise!”

Ouyang Shuo instantly regained his senses and took a look at her stats.

Name: Wang Zhaojun

Title: One of the Four Ancient China Beauties

Dynasty: West Han

Identity: Great Xia Dynasty Civilian

Occupation: Imperial Court pipa player

Loyalty: 70

Bone structure: 18

Comprehension: 15

Charm: 22

Luck: 12

Specialty: Melody (raises territory artistic cultivation by 15%, raises music standards by 10%, raises territory fame by 10%)

Evaluation: a court lady of the West Han emperor, elegant and beautiful.

The four beauties each had something they were proficient at, and they were all exceptional people.

At this very moment, a System Notification sounded out in his ear.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi. Within three years, player has obtained the ancient China beauties Xu Shi, Diaochan, and Wang Zhaojun, completing B rank quest. Specially awarding Shanhai City the title of Capital of Charm, awarding player with 8 charm points.”

Ouyang Shuo let out a huge sigh of relief; this was the longest scenario quest he had completed. Since it was triggered when Fan Li and Xi Shi moved over, one and a half years had passed.

As for whether the last of the four beauties, Yang Yuhuan, would come to Shanhai City or not, it was all up to fate.

Capital of Charm: raises charm of Capital City by 35%, attraction to talent increased by 10%, cultural aura in the Capital City increased by 15%, entertainment atmosphere of the Capital City increased by 20%.

Although the quest was difficult, the title given was pretty average. As for the 8 charm points, it was an added surprise.

With that, Ouyang Shuo’s four innate stats did not have a weak point anymore.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about where to place her. Different from Xi Shi and Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun was still single.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was not thinking about anything funny, and he had no intentions of having a relationship with an NPC.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo was not willing to allow such an exceptional person spend her life at home; that was just too boring. She needed to find something for her to do.

Thinking back to the movies Song Jia and him were talking about, a lightbulb lit up in his head. What if he made Wang Zhaojun into a super celebrity?

First, she was pretty. Even a global superstar like Wu Qingcheng was not as good looking as her.

That alone made her suitable to being a superstar.

Secondly, as one of the Four Ancient Beauties of China, she had her own fans and did not need the holdings to promote her.

One must know that if she stepped into the film circle, there would definitely be many crazy fanboys and fangirls.

This was something rookies could not replicate; it was her innate advantage.

Thirdly, although she was an NPC, in such an open world, virtual idols were not a new thing and players accepted that.

Many nerds were far more interested in virtual idols than real life ones. If not, how could Huo Qubing have such fame in China?

Hence, to model her into a super celebrity was a great idea.

Fourthly, she was really talented. Not mentioning others, but just the pipa songs that she sang were something that modern day people could not replicate.

As long as the Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings ran it well and let her debut as a singer and slowly expand toward film, she would definitely be able to get famous.

The entertainment holdings had many composers that could make ancient type songs for her. Moreover, there were performance teachers, dance teachers, and the like.

Apart from that, there was also an exceptional dancer like Diao Chan.

Hence, Wang Zhaojun working with them was like two giants joining arms, and they would definitely create a shocking effect.

Just thinking about it made one excited.

In such a short while, Ouyang Shuo had contemplated the idea several times and felt that it was truly feasible.

What about Wang Zhaojun?

As a young girl, no matter how many things she had been through, being stared at by the king like that made her face turn red. She lowered her head, and her heart was filled with unease. Wang Zhaojun was thinking about whether the king had fallen for her.

‘Should she reject it then or just accept it?’ She hesitated in her heart.
