This announcement from Hongguo Novel Network,

The internet exploded late at night.

S+ level investment.

The original author personally served as the head screenwriter.

Creating China's number one terrifying universe...

Every word was stimulating everyone's nerves.

The fear that originally circulated only within the literary circle,

At this moment, they gained access to a wider public eye.

After Wu Di dropped this bombshell in the class group chat, the entire group went crazy.

[Really? I just checked the official website, and the servers are overloaded again! I can't get in at all, bro!]

[The Dream Maker is the chief screenwriter! My idol isn't just on a magazine cover, he's on TV! The Dream Maker is awesome (voice cracks)]

I shudder to think what the effect would be if "The Ghost Knocks on the Door" and "The Last Train" were filmed. Wouldn't a whole theater be empty-handed on the spot?

[No way, you expect to see that kind of plot on the big screen? This has to be a web series!]

Exactly! With this level of explicitness, which old man reviewing a film could handle it? Wouldn't he have to call 120 (emergency services) overnight?

Wu Di was so excited that he rolled around on the bed.

He tagged Lin Que repeatedly, sending more than a dozen messages in a row.

Lin Que simply replied a few minutes later.

[Okay, I'm going to sleep.]

...

28th floor, SOHO Future City.

Lin Que was certainly not really asleep.

He was having a video call with Honghu, the editor-in-chief of Hongguo Novel Network.

On the screen, only Red Fox's flushed face was visible.

On Lin Que's side, it was pitch black.

The video only features processed, cold, and low-pitched audio.

"Dream Weaver, we... no, the entire group, accept all the conditions you proposed!"

Red Fox's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement and... awe.

last night,

When informing Lin Que Group that they were considering adapting "Human World is Like Prison" into a film or television series...

Lin Que offered terms that were almost tyrannical.

He reluctantly reported it to the group's senior management.

I thought I was going to get a severe scolding.

Unexpectedly, the group's vice president, known for his sharp insight,

After listening to the report, he remained silent for a full five minutes.

In the conference room, everyone held their breath.

"Does he mean that we invest money, and he'll become the de facto ruler?"

The vice president's voice was calm, but it sent a chill down Red Fox's spine.

"Uh...that's one way to understand it..."

Red Fox answered with a forced smile.

"Arrogant."

The vice president uttered two words, but his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"But I like this arrogance."

He stood up and walked to the center of the conference room.

"Have you all read the proposal from the chairman of the Jiangcheng Writers Association?"

The audience nodded in agreement.

"If any other IP had issued a joint statement from those dozen or so writers' associations, it would have been completely dead by now."

"But what was the result?"

He turned around, his gaze sweeping across the conference room:

"Not only did he not die, but he also used the platform that Wang Shouyi provided for him to turn around and make Wang Shouyi look like a clown on the entire internet."

"Throughout the entire process, he didn't spend a single penny and only used two articles. Who among you has this ability to manipulate public opinion and turn a crisis into an opportunity?"

The meeting room was completely silent.

"A genius who can be lured away with money and resources is not a genius, but a high-level employee."

"And someone who can manipulate official authority and public opinion at will, and dares to seize control..."

"His value is immeasurable."

He glanced at the red fox one last time, and made the final decision:

"Say yes! Give him everything he wants!"

"I have only one request: weld him to this Hongguo ship!"

...

So, Red Fox, carrying the imperial sword, contacted the mysterious deity once again.

"Teacher, the adaptation licensing fee and the screenwriter's advance payment will be deposited into your account within three days."

Once the project is launched, you will have veto power over the preparation, casting, and filming processes.

Regarding your point about needing a real-world agent, we will fully cooperate.

We will help you find the industry's top-notch production and directing team, who will absolutely follow your instructions.

Red Fox finished speaking in one breath, then carefully observed the black screen, afraid that the other party might be dissatisfied in any way.

"Can."

Lin Que's voice remained as calm as still water.

“But I’ll find an agent myself.”
