When the setting collection of "Pandemic" was released as a peripheral product of the movie, the first volume of the comic book of the same name was also released.
On the morning of the second day after the release, Wei Lan was awakened by a system prompt in his mind.
'Ding! The host has obtained 5 million points and unlocked the new item mall!'
Wow, this system that has no sense of existence is taking effect?
A page similar to a game props mall emerged in Wei Lan's consciousness. It was called a game props mall, but in fact there was only one lonely prop in it, which looked like a rainbow-shaped aperture.
This so-called shopping mall cannot be said to have few things, it can only be said to be very shabby.
"That's it? You call this a mall?"
Wei Lan just thought about it and automatically knew the content and function of the only prop.
'[Lucky Aura]——Price: 10,000 points, Effect: Lucky +1'
Wei Lan: System, what does this item mean?
The system is like a salesman at this time, and even the cold tone seems a little flattering: The lucky halo can make the host lucky, can directly affect the trajectory of life, turn misfortune into good fortune, and turn danger into safety. It has endless uses, and it is recommended that the host purchase it to experience it.
Wei Lan raised his eyebrows. The concept of "luck" depends on how you understand it. The effect it can have can be big or small. If it really means what it says, then it is indeed a good thing.
It's just that the value of '+1' is a bit stingy, and it's hard to say what effect it can have.
The current function of the system is only to be able to see other people's emotional memories. It has no other use except to facilitate Wei Lan's training of actors...but in terms of functionality, it is indeed very supernatural and wonderful, and it is a golden finger that transcends reality.
The system continued: "Ten thousand points are just the host's daily points. Why not give it a try?"
It seems like it's worth a try.
"purchase!"
Director Wei, who was wealthy, waved his hand and bought this lucky halo.
"Swish!" The only item that was lit up on the system mall page turned grey and could not be purchased.
Wei Lan: “…”
system:"……"
After a moment of silence, Wei Lan opened his eyes and asked the system: "Is the halo here? Why don't I feel anything?"
After the system sold the goods, it returned to its usual artificially retarded state and mechanically replied: The host has equipped the item [Lucky Halo].
Okay, although he didn't feel anything physically, Wei Lan still opened his phone with the intention of giving it a try. He opened a random shopping platform and clicked on the lottery on the page.
Everyone knows this kind of lottery, which is usually just for show. In the end, what you usually get is a "thank you for participating" or a "5 yuan discount for purchases over 200 yuan" coupon. Good rewards seem to exist only in boasting posts on forums, making people wonder whether getting the reward is a result of sheer luck or a system error.
However, being able to encounter a system error, in other words, is also a manifestation of luck...
Pressing the 'lottery' button, Wei Lan thought to herself that if she could win the prize, her next step would be to buy a lottery ticket.
The pointer slowly stopped and stopped on the 'Free Shopping' column. The next moment, it slid gently and landed on the 'Thank You for Participating' next to it.
Wei Lan: “…”
'System, I need an explanation.'
The system came to explain: As mentioned before, the effect of the lucky halo is to turn misfortune into good fortune and to avert danger, it is not icing on the cake.
After listening carefully, Wei Lan figured out what was going on. It turned out that the system's previous words were not a promotional slogan, but the effect of this lucky halo.
Wei Lan: So if I don’t encounter danger, this thing won’t work?
System: In theory, yes.
Wei Lan: …
She really shouldn't have had such high expectations for the shopping mall provided by this half-baked system!
Having already bought it, Wei Lan no longer worries about it, even if it doesn't work now. After all, she is no longer under the threat of genetic collapse like in the past.
I opened my mailbox to check the daily email, and saw the game cooperation invitation from Yongshuang Studio forwarded by Secretary Wang.
Wei Lan had already planned to adapt movie IPs into games. After all, since he had decided to extend the world of "Mind" into a series of movies, developing related peripheral products was also necessary to expand its influence.
Since it was screened by Secretary Wang and sent specially, it means it is from a well-known game company. After Wei Lan read the email, he carefully learned about the company and replied to the other party with an email asking about the cooperation method. Unexpectedly, he received a reply from the other party within ten minutes.
Soon, Wei Lan found out that Yongshuang Games did not want the IP of "Mind", but wanted to cooperate with her on an open interactive story-based game because of something she said in the lecture.
Open, interactive... coupled with the recent encounter with Ye Jingran, the next film project began to slowly take shape in Wei Lan's mind.
He picked up the tablet on the desk and started writing on it quickly.
…
In one of the luxurious offices on the top floor of Chengguang.
Director Qiao Yu sat in his seat and talked to the general manager: "Boss Zhou, why was there no news about Ye Jingran before?"
Mr. Zhou said helplessly: "The Lonely Island was only shown in a few unknown small theaters. This kind of art film is aimed at awards. Xie Cheng is an independent film director and directly submitted it for the Golden Tripod Award. There are so many films submitted every year, we have no way of knowing so much."
After hearing this, Qiao Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand, but let the PR department guide this matter. Ye Jingran wants to turn things around this time, and he will definitely bring up the case from that year, which will affect the company's reputation... The last part of Star Wars is about to start filming and promotion, and we can't let this matter hold us back."
"Of course." Mr. Zhou agreed quickly.
Qiao Yu asked again: "How is Chen Yuanhang's preparation going this time?"
Mr. Zhou replied, "He prepared for a whole year, and the actors are the same. It's the last part of the trilogy, and it has the aura of a grand finale. If nothing unexpected happens..." When he mentioned the word "unexpected", his face twitched involuntarily, "The current box office forecast is at least 3 billion."
"If the box office doesn't reach a satisfactory level this time, then the resources and authority that were previously given to him will be taken back."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou was shocked: "But when he came from Wei's..."
Qiao Yu shook his head: "Although he helped us to strike a good blow against the Wei family, who wouldn't be on guard against such a villain who stabbed the boss in the back? If this movie can't achieve a box office that satisfies everyone, it means that Chen Yuanhang is not an indispensable part of Chengguang and is not qualified to be a real senior executive of Chengguang."
"I see……"
Not long after Mr. Zhou left, Qiao Yu's personal phone rang. He glanced at the word "daughter" on it, frowned and answered the phone: "It's all your fault!"
A coquettish female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dad, how can you blame me for this! Who would have thought that Ye Jingran could turn things around! Besides... it's not all my fault..."
"Alright." Qiao Yu interrupted Qiao Lianqing: "I just want to ask you if you have cleaned up the mess."
"Of course, I destroyed all the surveillance. Even if Ye Jingran is lucky, he won't be able to find any evidence..."
…
Ye Jingran now lives in a single apartment on the second ring road in the city center. "Lonely Island" is a low-budget movie, and the director is kind. The salary he paid is only enough for him to maintain his white-collar life. Moreover, even though he has just won the Best Actor award, because of his past reputation, he currently has no income from endorsements and sponsorships.
Of course, as a newly crowned film emperor, he still received offers for acting roles, and he had several scripts in his hands, but he was not very satisfied after reading them and did not agree to any of them.
“Buzz…”
The call was from agent Tao Ze. Tao Ze has always been Ye Jingran's agent. Even in his most difficult times, he never gave up on him. He just took over a few more artists. After he came back, Tao Ze became his exclusive agent again. He is one of the people Ye Jingran can trust completely.
Ye Jingran picked up the phone: "What's the matter?"
"Your luck has really changed this time, kid. You're so lucky." Tao Ze's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Do you know who called me? From Wei Lan's studio!"
Wei Lan...Wei...Ye Jingran was slightly stunned and couldn't help but think of Ye Luoxue whom he met on the day of the Ye family's ancestor worship. Could it be that his cousin helped him again?
Ye Luoxue has always been low-key. When he was a teenager, Ye Jingran only knew that she married into a wealthy family of equal status, but he didn't know which family. He hadn't met Ye Luoxue for many years, and he didn't dare to ask about it in front of other people in the Ye family, for fear that they would know that Ye Luoxue had helped him and cause trouble for him, or use him to influence Ye Luoxue.
It was not until later, when he was falsely accused of drug addiction, that he heard from his girlfriend Qiao Lianqing that the cousin he had always respected and appreciated was actually the wife of the chairman of Wei's Pictures.
If he had known this...why would he have joined a shady company like Chengguang? But at that time, he knew that his reputation had been completely ruined, and he was unwilling to ask his cousin for help, even now.
Tao Ze continued, "Although I know that your award this time will attract the attention of many directors, I didn't expect you to get the attention of Director Wei. You know, she is your best choice now! If I had connections, I would definitely go to her first to ask for cooperation. Your acting skills have been recognized by the industry now, and what you need most is an opportunity to prove your commercial value. From her debut to now, every movie Wei Lan has made can be said to be a textbook of commercial movies, and they are both box office and well-received..."
"But... I have my concerns." Ye Jingran hesitated. If he was a famous movie star now, he would definitely not care about these things, but with his current reputation, he was also worried about affecting his cousin's family...
"You've seen her movies before, and you said you wanted to act in her movies. Besides, it's not you who's actively looking for her now. Maybe this role is definitely for you."
"This..." Ye Jingran's mind popped up the movie "Rural Teacher". He had once imagined what it would be like if he played that role.
In the end, Ye Jingran appeared in Wei Lan's exclusive studio.
In the holographic world, after a brief audition.
Wei Lan was sure that he had not made a mistake and decided in his mind that Ye Jingran would be the protagonist of his next movie.
Ye Jingran: "Um, Director Wei..."
Wei Lan: "What's wrong?"
Facing this well-known panda in the holographic world, Ye Jingran had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, and couldn't help asking, "Have we met before?"
Wei Lan didn't say anything, but answered him in his heart -
Yes, I have, but at that time I was in your cousin's arms and called you uncle.
