Chapter 442 Hu Xue

"Fellow Daoist, I see that you are gifted with extraordinary talents and extraordinary abilities. You are a rare performing genius. Recently, our Wutong Interactive Entertainment is recruiting NPC actors. Would you like to give it a try? The benefits are great and the treatment is excellent. Once you become popular, it is not a dream to earn over 100 million yuan a year! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Jia Xiaoren was waving a flyer in his hand and was enthusiastically pulling a female cultivator of special appearance at the night market square outside Chang'an City, promoting his product with all his might.

"Hold on, I'm a player!"

The female cultivator ruthlessly pulled away her sleeves, revealing her hidden ID.

Jia Xiaoren's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hand in disdain: "Oh, then go away!"

Suddenly, Bai Chenxue jumped out from behind Jia Xiaoren and asked with a grin, "Hey, hey, hey! Master! You've been promoting here for the whole morning! Did you attract anyone over?"

Jia Xiaoren said with his nose in the air, "Humph! They must have pulled a few! They should have reported to the boss by now!"

After saying that, he looked behind Bai Chenxue in confusion—there was no one there. He couldn't help but ask, "You didn't go out to play for the whole morning and didn't bring anyone back, did you?!"

"How could that be possible!" Bai Chenxue proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "I pulled ten of them! Ten! And they are all beautiful women who know magic! Do you understand?"

Jia Xiaoren frowned, looking disbelieving.

Since that day, when Jiaming Group Chairman Wu Yu sent his secretary Xu to help Wu Tong set up a studio, within a week, the sign of Wutong Interactive Entertainment was erected outside a 20-story office building.

Although this office building is relatively old, it has just been renovated and the lower floors do not require any major changes. So before even completing the property procedures, Secretary Xu moved in with Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun. They also replaced the elevator with a card-swipe elevator - the floors above the 15th floor will be converted into studio apartments to provide accommodation for some employees in need.

Then, Wutong Interactive Entertainment’s first project planned to be filmed in the "Ten Continents" game was delivered to Wu Tong: "Inhuman Office".

This is a unit drama series with not a small investment. Originally, the script was purchased based on the copyright of the comic book of the same name, and the revisions had been completed long ago. The leading actors had also been partially discussed. However, the investor suddenly withdrew the investment because the director Shang Jing and the producer were unwilling to use a fresh male idol designated by the investor to play the role of Lie Lie. The investor even specifically requested that it be adapted into a tragic love story with a nine-tailed fox for subsequent hype, and by the way, use the veteran actress who was originally chosen by the director to play the role of the nine-tailed fox to hype the male idol!

This pissed off Director Shang so much that he simply chose to pretend to be sick and quit. However, he also knew that this was just a momentary impulse and he would probably have to take a step back under the intervention of Director Wu - not changing or fine-tuning the script, and the actors would ultimately have to listen to the capital.

This is a common occurrence. The reason why Wutong Interactive Entertainment is becoming increasingly sluggish is that everyone is unwilling to lower themselves to use those dirty tricks to praise this and step on that, and they are not really valued by President Wu enough to spend money on a well-received drama to change their fate - if you have to say it, President Wu can't afford it. If this offends other capitals, Jiaming Group will be implicated.

So, over the years, Wutong Interactive Entertainment has been dragging its feet.

Just when Director Shang was ready to go back to work, he suddenly received a notice.

Although the original investor withdrew his investment, Mr. Wu invested several million instead. However, he did not let Director Shang find anyone to audition for the role. Instead, he gave him a plan that he found very absurd: to film in a virtual reality game.

Are you kidding! ?

Director Shang first thought that Mr. Wu was crazy, but after searching for information about "Records of the Ten Continents" for a whole night, he became confused again.

Is the technology of flower growers so advanced?

Of course, no matter how confused he was, he still had to do what his boss asked him to do, after all, he was actually still receiving a salary from Wutong Interactive Entertainment. So he applied for the qualification specifically, intending to see if he could get it when the next quota was opened.

Although the millions invested by Mr. Wu were the money he said was used to buy activation codes for him, and although there are only a few activation codes left on the market, the price has actually dropped a bit. After all, the game is now distributing qualifications on a large scale, and according to the trend, it does not seem impossible to fully liberalize it, so the activation codes are no longer so precious.

But even if they bought it, they would save a little bit. Even without the sky-high filming fees for actors, Director Shang also considered the costs of post-production, editing and special effects. Even if he hired AI from the game, it would still cost money. I just don’t know if it would involve the copyright issue of "Ten Continents"...

Since he hadn't bought the activation code yet, Director Shang was not in a hurry for the filming progress. Without a financier who forced him to use certain actors, Director Shang felt refreshed. He made several documents and sent them out overnight, requiring several employees under the Second Princess of Jiaming Group who were able to work in the game to recruit actors in advance and prepare for auditions - even if he couldn't enter the game, he could still audition through live broadcast and video!

As for the cost…

"What!? Two hundred dollars a day!?"

A very pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in front of the Boss flying boat.

The person who spoke was Hu Xue.

As a demon cultivator, and one who has been struggling in the human society, she had gone astray in her early years. In order to improve her cultivation, she deliberately lured ignorant men and women in remote villages to worship her. However, she did not dare to eat people or take their lives. She only dared to use some illusions to scare mortals and get the title of "Eternal Goddess" and be greedy for incense.

Because Hu Xue was not born in Chiyuan Cave, and sometimes she would use sorcery to cure villagers in order to attract more worshippers, no one cared about her.

However, as her appetite grew and she demanded more and more from the villagers to provide her with chickens and ducks, a heavenly calamity struck down, destroying all the cultivation she had gained through years of hard work and leaving her with injuries.

After his injury healed, Hu Xue felt aggrieved but was too timid to continue cheating people. He was hesitating whether to flee to Duguang State in the south when he heard about the Taiyin Sect.

I heard that Taiyin Sect treats all demon cultivators equally, and they can learn any skills or magic they want for free!

I heard that the Taiyin Sect strictly enforces slave contracts, and once discovered, they will be expelled. If anyone commits a crime, they will be killed without mercy!

Is this true? There is such a wonderful place in the world! ?

Hu Xue, who was half-believing and half-doubting but had nowhere to go, carefully inquired while rushing to the legendary Chang'an City. Along the way, she met many demon cultivators who were similar to her. They formed a group and planned to go together. When the time came...

“When the time comes, even if it’s a lie, with so many monsters like us, we can beat them out and escape!”

With this mentality, Hu Xue transformed into a stunning woman and volunteered to enter Chang'an City. She and her fellow demon cultivators had agreed that if anything happened to her, they would use their best skills to take her away! The reason why Hu Xue volunteered to come and test it was because she was very advanced in her transformation! In the human race's aesthetics, she was the most beautiful!

But the face that had always been invincible was not very useful this time——

"Hey, you, that's you, you have to fill in the information and get the ID before you can enter!"

The gatekeeper at the city gate tower who was checking identity tokens stopped Hu Xue and pointed to a wooden shed not far away without even raising his eyelids. There were several small tables inside and people were queuing.

"Look, the demon cultivators are over there, don't go the wrong way, there are subsidies for demons, if you register as the wrong race, you won't get that benefit!"
