Chapter 11
After two more days of fermentation, Untitled, which was released halfway through the new season, fought its way out and climbed to the last place on the new list homepage after three days of release.
Many people who follow the list have already started placing bets on how long it will take for Untitled to go from eighth place to the top.
In the training group that Qian Xin belongs to, the group members are also discussing this.
BLUE: I bet on a spicy strip and guessed it would reach the top in three days.
Dadabai: You have to believe in Xiaoyu's charm. With two spicy strips, she will definitely get seven kills in 24 hours.
Qian Duoduo: You guys still underestimate Wuti. I guess we can reach the top by 12 o’clock tonight!
In Xinghuo's general manager's office, the two were also discussing similar issues.
Professor Gu pushed the freshly brewed tea in front of Lao Wang, who swallowed it like a cow chewing a peony: "Lao Gu, when do you think Xiao Xu will become the top scholar!" Uncle Wang learned the word "top scholar" from Untitled.
Professor Gu smiled and said gently, "It doesn't matter when."
"Indeed, it doesn't matter whether it's early or late, hahahaha. I just don't know what those three big companies are feeling right now."
The three giants of Cang Tianxing Film Industry, Fenghuo Entertainment, Crown Entertainment, and Dingsheng Entertainment, have the top resources of Cang Tianxing. Such large companies also value the reserve of new talents.
The top few newcomers on the list are usually signed by large companies early on.
This is the first time in several years that a film has emerged and broken through the blockade of the three major film studios, and it comes from a little-known small company.
Colleagues began to investigate the backgrounds of Xinghuo and Huanxu, while ordinary audiences just watched the show. It wasn't that they had any ill feelings towards the three big guys, they just simply liked this kind of cool plot.
Professor Gu reminded: "Employees who have worked overtime these days should pay attention to online trends and provide positive guidance. Bonuses will be given to everyone at the end of the month."
Now that Wu Ti has become popular, Xinghuo's funds have flowed back and the broken cash flow has finally been restored. Although there is still a bank loan to be repaid, Professor Gu has the confidence to promise to give his employees extra chicken legs.
Mr. Wang patted his chest and assured with a smile, "Don't worry, leave this to me and my team."
Mr. Wang came out of the general manager's office and felt the current atmosphere of the company. The smile lines at the corners of his eyes became deeper. Compared with the previous lifeless situation when the company was facing bankruptcy liquidation, now all the employees in the company are full of energy and doing their job.
The two artists from the company were taken away by their agent in a hurry. Taking advantage of the popularity of "Untitled", the agent got their artists a few dramas. Although most of them were just small web dramas and their roles were only fourth or fifth position, it was already very good compared to their previous treatment as extras.
The young artists looked tired, but their spirits were very excited.
Everything is getting better now. President Wang strode towards his office. He couldn't fall too far behind the young people. He had to seize the opportunities and attention that Xiao Xu brought to Xinghuo and make a beautiful comeback!
Even without filming tasks, given the funding and resources, Professor Gu, with the assistance of President Wang, could barely handle the current scale of Xinghuo. Therefore, Huan Xu continued to lie at home and do nothing.
Wearing a linen-colored home sweater, Huan Xu leaned on the lazy sofa, basking in the sun and surfing the Internet on his laptop, feeling very comfortable.
In addition to the discussion about Mr. Shang Yin and Wuti, with the popularity of Wuti, many bloggers' imitation makeup and cosplay appeared on Star Network, and the popularity was quite good.
Whether paying attention to Untitled itself or watching various derivative videos, interstellar people will inevitably learn about the culture of their home planet.
The reaction now is very good. The fish have been lured over by the bait. Huan Xu is ready to make further efforts.
Huan Xu has already begun preparing to conceive his second work, striking while the iron is hot, for his own goals and for the development of Xinghuo.
Although the audience had watched Untitled and there was no substitute on the entire network, they kept leaving messages in Huanxu and Xinghuo's space, urging them to release the new drama as soon as possible, but they were just talking nonsense out of habit. When they left the messages, they definitely could not have imagined that Huanxu was actually preparing for a seamless release.
While Director Huan was "looking for inspiration" at home, Huang Hao, who had already gone to the photocopying room, looked unhappy.
Huang Hao is a silver medal director that Yingyin paid a lot of compensation to recruit. In particular, Huang Hao is also the apprentice personally trained by the golden director Feng Manman. Yingyin has high expectations for Huang Hao.
But they didn't expect that the day before they were still waiting for their old rival Xinghuo to close down, and the next day, Xinghuo released a new drama "Strike Back".
If the resurrection of Xinghuo made the top management of Photocopy feel upset and regretful, then Huang Hao, who broke up with Xinghuo non-peacefully, only felt anger and resentment for being fooled.
He stabbed Xinghuo in the back despite being criticized. To prove that he was right, he just wanted to see Xinghuo go bankrupt.
"Bang!"
Huang Hao slammed his fist on the table, but he forgot that the force is mutual. The pain made the veins on the back of his hand bulge, and his face became more and more hideous and distorted.
"She said she would do her best to train me and make me her successor. It was obvious that she was just trying to protect me. In the end, all the good things were left to her good son!"
Huan Xu is just a hopeless piece of mud. Apart from being able to reincarnate and having good luck, what else does he have?
Huang Hao didn't believe that "Untitled" was Huan Xu's own script at all, and was certain that it must have been left to Huan Xu by Feng Manman.
"If I were given the role, I could definitely do better! If I had been given the script from the beginning, I might have stayed. Ultimately, they were the ones who were unkind first, so don't blame me for being unfair!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Huang Hao stood up and decided to go out and have a cigarette to calm down.
In the smoking room, a young bronze-level director working in the photocopying department saw Huang Hao push the door open and greeted him, "Brother Huang, come and have a smoke too."
Huang Hao replied calmly, "Yeah."
"Brother Huang, come here." The bronze medal director offered him a cigarette. Huang Hao glanced at the brand and did not refuse.
Huang Hao just felt a little relieved after blowing out a puff of smoke when he heard the Bronze-level director beside him speak up, bringing up something irrelevant: "By the way, Brother Huang, you used to be from Xinghuo. Xinghuo has been making quite a splash these days, you know."
"..." Huang Hao held the cigarette butt in his mouth and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "I don't know."
"Huh? Brother Huang, you haven't heard of it? Untitled, it's about ancient films, and it was released in the middle of the month and it even made it straight to the front page of the Newly Promoted List. Holy crap, it was number eight before, and now it's number six. Amazing!"
"Bang!"
The bronze-level director looked up and saw Huang Hao slamming the door of the smoking room.
Huang Hao, furious as a pufferfish, returned to the office with a gloomy face, cursing in his heart: Idiot, no sense at all, if he is not bronze level, who will be bronze level, he will be bronze level all his life!
Little did he know that in the smoking room, the bronze-level director was also cursing him in his heart: Why are you so arrogant? Your nose is even up in the sky.
The bronze-level director lowered his head and threw the cigarette butt that Huang Hao had not put out onto the ground.
The bronze-level director had an even worse impression of Huang Hao: You idiot! Even kindergarten kids know to put out their cigarettes to avoid causing a fire. You have no manners. That's how your life will be!
Huang Hao sat in his office chair. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt that his fate was unfair.
His mind told him: Stop thinking about Huan Xu and Xinghuo, work hard, let your works speak for you, and prove yourself!
But my body was not listening to me. Every few minutes, I couldn't help but open the computer to refresh the list of people who had made it.
So, Huang Hao did nothing for the whole afternoon except refresh the promotion list, watching Wu Ti soar all the way, eighth, sixth, fifth...
It was time to get off work, but Huang Hao was still sitting in his chair, staring at the screen. Wu Ti had already climbed to third place.
The new director that Ding Sheng was promoting this time was easily defeated by Huan Xu in less than one round.
waste!
Gnashing his teeth, Huang Hao said fiercely, "Fenghuo, Crown, show your true abilities, and don't let me down!"
To show his support, Huang Hao turned on all the Internet-connected devices in the office and clicked on the two videos.
On the 33rd floor of Dingsheng Building, Director Five, a young man wearing thick black-framed glasses, like a salted fish that has lost all his dreams, lay listlessly on his seat, and seemed to hear the game sound "ko" in his ears.
"Where did this cheater come from? His firepower is too strong."
Someone patted the shoulder, and the young man looked up at the thick double chin of the director of the fifth department in silence.
The head of the fifth department didn't know what the young man was thinking, and thought that he was mentally unbalanced, so he comforted him: "Untitled, it's a good name. It's a trick. Otherwise, even if it was beaten down, it wouldn't be so fast."
Young man: "...are you serious about this comforting you?"
The supervisor coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Liang, we know your strength. The company made some mistakes in the past. We shouldn't have asked you to perform in areas you're not good at just to cater to the audience's tastes. Next time, we can just fight back. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
The young man stretched, pushed up the frame of his glasses, and smiled sinisterly: "The one who's under pressure now isn't me, but the two people in front of me, hehe."
Supervisor: "...Don't laugh like that, you look like a pervert."
The young man was unhappy and pointed at Huan Xu's name and complained: "Open your eyes and see who is the pervert between me and him."
The supervisor pondered for a moment, and at this moment, he watched Wu Ti move up one position again. The supervisor quickly drank a sip of coffee to calm himself down. This guy is a pervert.
It’s a pity that Heima already has a company, and it’s his own company, otherwise he would have tried to poach some of his employees.
From the Crown Directorate came the sounds of ugly curses and things being swept to the ground and broken.
At eight o'clock in the evening, faster than anyone expected, Wuti topped the new list, with a small golden crown hanging above his name.
In the Fenghuo director's office, a young girl with a high ponytail breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I got squeezed out."
The girl stood up and walked to the office door with ladylike steps. She stretched her neck to look outside, and after making sure that the other colleagues had already gone home after get off work, the girl turned around and closed the door.
After three seconds of silence, the girl couldn't help but break it.
"Ahhh, I'm so unwilling. If I had known, I would have competed again next season. My Grand Slam, ahhh, Huan Xu, right? I'll remember you. Damn it, a good woman doesn't fight with a man. I'll let you go this time. If you have the guts, we'll compete again next time."
"Yan Xiaoan, come on, you're the best! Go, go, go!"
Suddenly, a sneer came from behind. Yan Xiaoan turned around stiffly, with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was about to die. The next second, he was faced with that face that seemed so handsome to others, but was particularly annoying in Yan Xiaoan's eyes.
“Are you the fattest?”
"..." Yan An angrily corrected: "Great, I'm the best! Can't a straight man just pass by quietly and pretend that you didn't see anything? I'm embarrassed for you."
Yan Ze: "I'm not embarrassed."
Yan An pulled open the door and said, "Brother, my dear brother, your sister was just pressed to the ground and rubbed. Shouldn't you comfort me now?"
After a moment of silence, Yan Ze said, "Well, you'll get used to it after a few times. Will it feel better if you say this?"
Yan An: “…” He took her punch.
As soon as the little turtle threw a punch, he was ruthlessly suppressed by the giant tortoise with long arms and legs. Holding the tortoise shell on Yan An's back, Yan Ze asked, "Do you want to go back together, or continue working overtime?"
I've been crushed, so why should I work overtime?
"Go back. Also, unless you treat me to the limited-edition rotating flower gallery at the Rose Restaurant, I won't forgive you!"
Huan Xu didn't know that his ascent to the summit almost caused a pair of siblings to become enemies.
Under Huanxu and Xinghuo's blogs, fans immediately sent their blessings and started the carnival, with all kinds of virtual fireworks exploding:
"Breaking through three major blockades and winning the gold crown! My Huo is amazing, my Huan is amazing!"
"Kaka, ka ...
"Congratulations to Xinghuo, congratulations to Wuti, and congratulations to Director Huan!"
"Knocking on the rice bowl, I'm hungry. Director Huan, please be kind and give me some food."
Huan Xu replied: "Okay."
As Huan Xu flipped the card, the whole space began to boil for the second time. However, Director Huan only flirted and did not take responsibility. He left a word "good" and disappeared again.
The fans were angry, so Director Huan’s space was flooded with two big words.
"Scumbag!!!"
Passersby who strayed in were confused and almost thought they had entered the set of a family ethics drama. But that’s a story for later.
The author has something to say:
Cangsang lit a cigarette. That’s right, the attacker, Yan Ze, finally showed up.
