Chapter 41 Offline Casting Interview
In any case, after Yu Mian's analysis, which forced him to burst out with his eloquence, he did subtly stabilize the situation at the end of the conversation.
"Anyway, I really troubled you today. Are you going home soon?"
When the conversation ended and he walked out of the office door, Secretary Hals looked at Yu Mian again.
"Well, I should go to the library. I came in a hurry just now, and I haven't had time to return the books I borrowed."
Yu Mian shook his head and denied it instantly.
I can't be discovered. Going back to my house is like going back to the fish tank in your study, right?
After all, Huo Ting is now his real landlord. OrzHowever
, although Yu Mian said that he was going to the library, he was actually thinking about the chat just now.
So his words actually produced some kind of mental soothing effect, which led Huo Ting and Secretary Hals to notice his novel?
Yu Mian almost immediately recalled the system reward he talked about with the small system last time.
Could it be that the original reward of this superstar system, "Mermaid Song", was to compensate the gain BUFF in the song to his novel.
As a result, readers unconsciously produced such a mental strength enhancement effect in the process of reading the text, and even greatly increased their interest in topics that they were not completely interested in? The more
Yu Mian thought about it, the more he felt that this wave of rewards seemed to be far beyond his expectations.
It was hard to imagine that the rewards for the first book were so awesome, what would happen to the second book.
"Wait a moment, the driver is waiting for you downstairs. After all, it was because of our business that delayed your time. We will send you back to the library. Thank you for your help today."
Secretary Hals suddenly called out to Yu Mian, who was about to turn around and leave.
"Wow, thank you! Actually, it didn't delay anything. It was quite fun to chat, and it also made me think a lot about my career development."
Unexpectedly, there was a special car to pick her up when she returned. Yu Mian's favorability towards Huo Ting and Secretary Hals increased by +1.
In fact, I was lucky to meet Huo Ting today, otherwise I would be contacted by Huanyu directly to open a blind box without any preparation, which would be a horror story.
Now, even if they have not given up the plan to contact their author account, at least they can be mentally prepared in advance.
As for Secretary Hals, after watching Yu Mian shake hands and say goodbye and go downstairs, he felt a little strange.
"This young writer is really interesting."
And one thing that is strange is that they have only met a few times, but when they chat, they feel very familiar and relaxed.
Could it be that I am also a face control?
Because Yu Mian, a citizen of the Federation, is good-looking, I have this idea of looking at the face and feel that the other party has an inexplicable sense of intimacy?
The more Secretary Hals thought about it, the more he felt that he was a pervert, and he even suddenly understood why Yu Mian often wore a mask and a hat.
Otherwise, with such good looks, the chances of being harassed and approached by bad guys are definitely high.
Secretary Hals sighed for a long time without getting an answer, then turned around and glanced at his young master.
But he found that Huo Ting was looking at his palm with his eyes downcast.
Because just now, when Yu Mian shook hands and thanked him for the last time, he not only shook hands with Secretary Hals, but also grabbed Huo Ting's hand with lightning speed, and expressed his gratitude as a federal citizen for the federal government's thoughtful service.
Huo Ting, who has always been very vigilant, actually wanted to dodge subconsciously when he was shaken, but because of Yu Mian's sincere and clear eyes that did not seem to be hypocritical, he hesitated for an inexplicable moment.
After a second of hesitation, it was natural for Yu Mian to hold his hands and thank him.
"Well... not only is he interesting, but he's also very courageous."
Secretary Hals looked at Huo Ting's hand, and after realizing what had just happened, he silently added.
It's rare for someone to shake hands with the young master and express gratitude so warmly and sincerely.
Although Huo Ting did privately instruct him to arrange for the driver to send it back, he really shouldn't be thanked.
"But the author of the fish soup noodles must still contact Huanyu, right?"
"Yes."
Huo Ting nodded to Secretary Hals's confirmation.
The contact must be with Huanyu.
"But you don't need to use force, and respect the other party's personal wishes to the greatest extent."
However, recalling Yu Mian's urgent look for help a moment ago, Huo Ting suddenly realized that handling this problem could not be the same as handling internal military affairs.
"Okay."
Hals nodded thoughtfully.
*
"Hey, I got the handshake! Sure enough, my mental power increased!"
As soon as Yu Mian turned the corner and made sure that Huo Ting and the others couldn't see him, he looked at his hand in shock and joy, and reported to the small system with great excitement.
In fact, when I completed the task for the first time, I found that Huo Ting's mental power was simply the highest quality existence I had encountered so far. The
absorbed mental power is like a powerful battery, which can store the mental power needed for changing legs or typing for a long time.
I almost failed in the last mission, and I was thinking about shaking hands next time, but I didn't expect that I would actually shake hands!
[Ah, this...]
The small system can only say that it is quite convinced by Yu Mian's behavior of taking the opportunity to rub against his mental power.
Fortunately, Huo Ting did not think of his host as a pervert.
[But didn't you think he was scary before? ]
"Ah, is that so? You are talking nonsense, this is clearly called calm and responsible."
Yu Mian, who had just used up his mental power, instantly refuted the small system's "slander".
In Yu Mian's eyes, Huo Ting is now simply a walking large power bank generator.
Ah, this, it really is.
The small system was a little shrunk for a while.
[So you are really socially anxious? Why didn't I see it at all just now...]
When Yu Mian heard what Xiao Xi said, he sighed deeply.
"Come on, my pseudonym is about to fall off. If I don't say anything, I will be socially dead."
It's obvious which one is more serious, socially fearful or socially dead!
For an author, there is nothing more terrifying than having my pseudonym fall off in the three-dimensional world.
Especially when I'm planning to write something unspeakable.
Xiao Xi can only admit defeat.
Anyway, you're good-looking, so whatever you say is right.
The headquarters of Universal Group did receive an official notification document a few days later.
"Strange, why would the federal government have something to contact Fish Soup Noodles?"
The editors in the editorial department also started to talk about it.
After being called to the office by the deputy editor to talk for a long time, Shax, who was a little hesitant, contacted Yu Mian online directly and told him the whole story.
Unexpectedly, Yu Mian was quite calm.
[Fish: Yes, I know. I can cooperate with all inquiries, but I don’t want Huanyu to reveal any three-dimensional identity information. Is this possible? ]
[Crispy Shark: Yes, yes, they specifically emphasized respecting your personal wishes and not letting us have any mandatory requirements on you. Please rest assured. I just really can’t figure out what happened to ask you about an author. ]
Of course, it’s because his book got the system reward BUFF.
Yu Mian silently complained in his heart, but since Editor Shax was not informed of the details, Yu Mian naturally didn’t plan to say anything more.
Moreover, it was not the military that came forward directly, but instead entrusted the person in charge of □□ to assist in the contact, which was indeed a lot more legitimate.
The government commissioner who was responsible for contacting Yu Mian was obviously informed of the relevant matters in advance, and his attitude was quite polite during the online conversation.
In response to this, Yu Mian also took out a set of statements that he had prepared long ago.
First, he stated that he had learned about this matter in advance from a "friend". Although he didn't quite understand why, he was willing to cooperate with the investigation and experiment. When he had time and free time, he would prepare a new book on the relevant targeted topic, blah blah...
So the negotiation between the two parties can be said to be unexpectedly smooth.
So much so that the news received by Huanyu was that Yu Mian had a new book topic.
[Crispy Shark: So you have a new idea? ! ]
However, when Shax thought about the weekly update tragedy of "Eternal Night Rose", he was a little panicked.
Could it be that the author wanted to... open it three times! ?
[Fish: A little bit, but I guess I will save a draft first. After all, the new subject is quite challenging. I will wait until "Agreement Marriage" is officially finished. ]
[Crispy Shark: Okay, okay, that's good, but can you reveal a little about the subject of the new book? ]
[Fish: It will be a refreshing novel. Didn't you say before that readers are very receptive to this kind of plot? So I plan to write a new book just like this! ]
Yu Mian's answer this time made Shax feel a little relieved.
After all, to be honest, whether it is "Agreed Marriage" or "Eternal Night Rose", the readers' feedback on the chapters involving the Su Shuang plot in the series during this period is indeed very enthusiastic. It
can be said that this kind of plot will make people feel refreshed no matter how many times they read it! So
much so that Shakes was a little curious, what does it mean to write a book like this?
Shouldn't the whole text make people feel excited from beginning to end? ! How good it would be.
However, this time, after Yu Mian finished typing the reply, he swung his fish tail to support his chin and continued to read the information on the web page.
In fact, when it comes to the subject of Su Shuang articles, there are indeed many types.
There are even many choices for the background of the article.
Modern cities, interstellar future, fantasy cultivation...
But it is obviously impossible to write all of them in one book, and this time we have to consider a specific readership.
After all, there is a huge difference between this new book and the previous "Eternal Night Rose" and "Agreement Marriage".
That is the sense of substitution of a specific reader group.
For the love plots in "Eternal Night Rose" and "Agreement Marriage", in fact, readers will be more of a third-party perspective to follow the sweet and sour love of the two CP couples.
But in this kind of male-oriented upgrade flow, most readers deserve to be substituted into the protagonist, rising all the way and turning the clouds and rain.
Therefore, the author must pay special attention to the handling of the sense of substitution.
If the new book can create a storyline of the interstellar version of Long Aotian, where the protagonist encounters various adventures, gets slapped in the face, and rises, then even a soldier of the Federation can read it, as if this soldier king Long Aotian is me! ?
So Yu Mian was thinking while taking notes on the outline page, and the topic and framework of the third book in his mind finally became clear.
"It just seems there is a problem..."
When Yu Mian gathered enough time to change his legs again and went to the library to check the information, he found a problem.
When writing "Marriage Agreement", because it was a fictional urban background that was difficult to make mistakes, he could write quickly without worrying about small bugs.
The reason why I wrote "The Rose of Eternal Night" is because most interstellar readers don't know about the Bart tribe, so it's convenient for me to develop related knowledge after supplementing it.
After all, I have seen the Bart tribe with my own eyes, but my understanding of various military systems is relatively limited.
"It's really not that simple when I think about it..."
Yu Mian suddenly fell into the book.
I always felt that I easily agreed to Huo Ting's request at that time, but when I started writing, I found that it was not that easy at all!
The content to be supplemented and the materials to be collected and accumulated are also huge.
[That... didn't we get a letter of recommendation last time? ]
The little system watched Yu Mian thinking, and the dog appeared stealthily.
Yu Mian: Hey!
So when Yu Mian returned to the study and took out the letter of recommendation that he had hidden in the dusty corner of the study last time, he realized something.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to experience the inside of the Star Legion up close?
Just like an author went to Hengdian to be an extra in order to write an entertainment novel, he can also accumulate materials by going to the Federation Legion for an internship for a period of time when writing a book about the Star Dragon Aotian!
"Come to think of it, isn't the Huo Ting family a ready-made reference!"
Yu Mian even realized that he was completely in a blind spot.
He didn't realize it when he was holding a mountain of gold.
However, during the time when Yu Mian was preparing for the third book, "Agreement Marriage" also officially entered the final chapter.
The last part of "Contract Marriage" where Caesar pursues his wife again can be said to have directly brought the popularity of "Contract Marriage" to a new high.
Whether it is Caesar pretending to have a headache to attract Gu Bai's attention, or being almost vomiting blood because of the bees and butterflies that surround Gu Bai's every performance, or the persistence of following Gu Bai to punch in at the stage of performances in various places...
Every time you read the latest chapter, you can't help but feel the sweet and sour feeling.
This kind of happiness of recycling the crematorium is simply too comfortable, it can be more!
In fact, the biggest problem that has not been resolved between Caesar and Gu Bai is the misunderstanding about Bai Yueguang.
The foreshadowing of retrieving and solving this problem was also laid by Yu Mian at the beginning of "Agreed Marriage".
After all, the exhibition hall that Caesar had been stubborn about not letting Gu Bai get close to was full of Gu Bai's records and works, not Bai Yueguang's memories at all.
Once Gu Bai has the opportunity to thoroughly discover the truth, Caesar was just stubborn for the sake of face, and this misunderstanding will naturally fall apart.
Secondly, Grandpa Caesar is about to celebrate his 90th birthday, and this time a very grand birthday party will be held.
Although Gu Bai still has a grudge against Caesar's family, he is undoubtedly grateful and respectful to Grandpa, so he was naturally invited back to Central Star for the banquet.
Coincidentally, the "white moonlight" mentioned by the villain is about to return from the outer star system to the central star to attend the banquet and formally meet Gu Bai.
The last condition to completely resolve the misunderstanding is now in place.
In Yu Mian's setting, the so-called white moonlight has nothing to do with Caesar at all. She just had a secret love for Caesar that ended without any result, and now she has let it go. As for
Caesar himself, who was proud and carefree at the time, he was completely unaware of this secret love from beginning to end, and just regarded this white moonlight as a childhood friend from a noble family in the circle.
Therefore, it can be said that this "white moonlight misunderstanding" was a completely unprovoked disaster.
Moreover, Yu Mian arranged a different cool point in the finale, that is, "the white moonlight of the past has become the rival in love today"!
After all, most readers now feel disgusted and vigilant about the existence of this "white moonlight" of Caesar, fearing that this guy will return to the Central Star and compete with Gu Bai for Caesar, causing a lot of dog-blood.
Oh, this kind of aggrieved and dog-blood plot is something Yu Mian absolutely does not want to write.
So what Yu Mian plans to write is naturally to send this guy Caesar to "compete"!
——After returning to the country, the "white moonlight" of the year actually fell in love with my beloved wife! He even tried to compete with me as a rival in love?
It's really unreasonable!
Doesn't this matter become interesting instantly!
In fact, when the plot of "Marriage by Agreement" was really serialized to this point, countless Starline readers were really shocked.
I never thought that there would be such a high-quality male supporting role at the end of the story!
After all, the gentleman male supporting role Roy, the elegant but scumbag elite doctor, or the violinist junior... in the previous story, they were all overshadowed by the appearance of Miroslav, who was a one-to-one match with Caesar.
I never expected that in addition to Miroslav, a rich, handsome, passionate and romantic male supporting role, Caesar's returning white moonlight was also very competitive because of his special status!
Aarons, the white moonlight, not only fell in love with Gu Bai, who played for his grandfather at his grandfather's birthday banquet, but also asked Caesar who this beauty was without knowing it.
He excitedly said that this was exactly his ideal type!
After all, after being abroad for so long, Bai Yueguang's taste and vision have completely changed. When she saw Gu Bai, who was so outstanding and elegant, she fell in love with him at first sight.
This time, it was undoubtedly Caesar who was shocked.
Good guy, I treat you as a buddy, but you dare to say in front of me that you want to pursue Gu Bai! ?
This is absolutely impossible!
You'd better not even think about it -
after the countdown chapters for the end of this series of "Marriage by Agreement" were updated, the comment area below was simply flooded with all kinds of "hahahahahaha".
[It's so funny. I was worried that Bai Yueguang would return and abuse our little angel Gu Bai again. I was so worried that I almost wanted to skip this plot and watch the ending directly. Now I'm relieved. It turns out that it's Caesar who is exciting hahahaha
] [Haha ... And there is another good news. As the official finale is approaching, the film adaptation of "Contract Marriage" has also been successfully bid. In the end, it was won by the Starry Sky Group where Kane is! After all, Starry Sky is not only rich and powerful, but also shocked all the competitors by waving a bunch of star coins. The person in charge of the bidding project even recited the text of "Contract Marriage" by heart. The whole book is filled with dense notes from beginning to end. No matter what questions are asked, he can answer them fluently and understand the whole book deeply. It can be said that whether it is financial strength or sincerity, Starry Sky stands out from a bunch of competing companies. As for the trending search #Xingqiong wins the film and television rights of "The Marriage Agreement"#, it directly topped the trending search list that day, triggering countless heated discussions. [Boss Kain, are you going to do it yourself? Hahahaha, I'm so looking forward to it! ? ? ]
[Okay, okay, Kane will film Caesar. To be honest, I actually felt relieved when I heard the news. The works produced by the overbearing president must be high-quality. They shouldn’t be filmed randomly, right?]
[Indeed, Kane, we believe in your ability. Don’t let us down! Show your financial ability!]
Although it is known that it is highly unlikely that the president Kane will personally act as an actor, this does not prevent readers from replaying the meme and recalling the extremely abstract rumor-busting storm.
In fact, Kane just has extremely deep and complex feelings about "Contract Marriage", so he has to film it himself no matter what.
How could they allow "Agreement Marriage", a novel that they had put so much effort into, to fall into the hands of another company?
The person in charge of the marketing department had studied the entire book "Agreement Marriage" thoroughly in order to dispel the rumors about Cain. He almost memorized the entire book. He did not expect that it would play an important role now.
It can be said that the right time, right place and right people were all there. It was not surprising that Xingqiong won the bid.
"No way... Then I will use the copyright fee to pay Cain back. This is too weird!"
Yu Mian, who was the only one who got the news, was confused.
It felt like a weird closed loop.
Write Kane into the book, and then Kane buys the copyright with his own money, and then pays Kane back the copyright fee.
Yu Mian inexplicably thought of the old saying "The wool comes from the sheep".
[It's so funny, I don't feel so painful all of a sudden, I don't know why.]
As for Yu Mian, who has always been determined to help the original body repay the debt to Kane, the little system also laughed crazily after watching this closed loop.
[Crispy Shark: After all, Xingqiong said that it will still give you, the author, the highest participation rights and freedom, and directly invites you to personally participate in the casting interview next month. A special car will be sent to pick you up then. Do you plan to go? 】
Faced with the message from Shax editor and the location notification information sent by Kane himself on Star Message, Yu Mian covered her face in confusion.
"What should I do...If I go to the offline casting audition, Kane will definitely see me."
And Kane is the creditor of her original body, so he will definitely recognize her.
I can't go to the audition with my face covered tightly, right! ?
Yu Mian was extremely entangled with this issue.
For an author, it is absolutely interesting to be able to personally participate in the casting of the film and television adaptation of his own work.
If he can't be there, it seems to be a real pity.
But once he arrives and even sits on the judges' panel, everyone on the scene will definitely know that he is the author Yu Tang Mian.
Then not only Kane, but also directors, producers and other staff members as well as those actors who came for auditions will definitely know my identity.
This is like completely revealing my identity to countless people at once. Word will spread
from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The consequences will be absolutely uncontrollable.
[Fish: Maybe I need to think about it again. [Fish sighs]]
After thinking for a long time about the editor's inquiry, Yu Mian still couldn't make up his mind to answer.
Looking at the message about Kane on the computer, he was even more worried.
The key is that he was planning to pay Kane back the penalty.
[Crispy Shark: Okay, but in fact it would be best if you could go. The casting audition of Xingqiong hasn't started yet, and several popular candidates have already been hotly discussed online. 】
【If readers knew that you, as the author, would also be there, the popularity would definitely explode! You really need to think about this carefully! 】
