While Le Jing was making a video, he received a call from Zhou Jinsen.
"Shi Jing, how is your leg?"
"It's okay, it's just a bruise, it will be fine after a rest."
"Well, you should have a good rest these few days. You don't need to come this weekend. Come back next Monday."
"Okay, I understand."
The two of them fell silent at the same time. Zhou Jinsen lowered his head, avoiding Le Jing's gaze, and suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
Le Jing raised his eyebrows, "Why are you apologizing suddenly?"
"At that time... I couldn't help you." Zhou Jinsen said with a look of self-blame: "And it was me who pulled you into the crew. I didn't expect Bai Lang to be this kind of person. If I had known, I shouldn't have let you get involved in this mess."
Le Jing smiled and calmly analyzed: "It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are right not to help me. Otherwise, with Bai Lang's temper, this matter will only get bigger and bigger. In the end, in order to end it, the investor is likely to kick us out to make amends to Bai Lang."
Zhou Jinsen looked at Shi Jing in surprise, somewhat unconvinced that these words came out of his mouth.
He knew his old classmate's noble character best. What Bai Lang did to him today was already a great humiliation. Zhou Jinsen was so furious watching from the side that he wanted to beat Bai Lang up.
What surprised him was that Shi Jing not only endured it at that time, but now he was calmly analyzing the pros and cons, without any trace of anger.
This old classmate of his has grown so much without me noticing.
Thinking about how noble his character used to be, but now his edges have been smoothed over by life, although this is also for the purpose of better adapting to society, Zhou Jinsen still feels sad.
He sighed and rubbed his face, not knowing whether he was comforting Shi Jing or himself:
"This is how it is in this industry. Only those with money can have the truth. There are too many little stars like Bai Lang in the industry. They have no talent and their temper is so bad that even cats and dogs hate them. But what can we do? They just have the ability to coax investors to invest! We have no money, so we can only be their grandsons."
He then used his own experience as an example, detailing the various difficulties and insults he had encountered along the way, and concluded:
"I felt humiliated and angry at the time, but now that I've gotten over it, I realize that it's just that and time must pass. If you want to survive, sometimes, face is really not that important." Although the words are sad, they are the cruel rules of the adult society.
Le Jing knew that Zhou Jinsen was comforting him. If Shi Jing had a temper, he might not be able to endure this great humiliation, but Le Jing did not have this problem. Because he knew that his tolerance now was for a greater revenge later.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm not that fragile now." Le Jing smiled and asked openly, "Where does Bai Lang come from? Who is standing behind him?"
Zhou Jinsen explained everything: "He is the illegitimate son of the second branch of the Bai family."
"Bai family?"
"Baitian Group, the Bai family that deals in clean energy."
Shi Jing was a person who worked behind closed doors and pursued art wholeheartedly. How could he know any gossip about wealthy families? Naturally, Le Jing couldn't know about the Bai family either. It was Zhou Jinsen who gave him some basic information.
The Bai family is also a well-known wealthy family in China. The head of the family, Bai Shenghua, made his fortune by smuggling and earned billions in just a few decades. He has three sons. The eldest son, Bai Moxuan, inherited the company. It was also under his leadership that the Bai family cleaned up their wealth and began to get involved in the field of new energy. The wealth has increased dozens of times and it is now a leading enterprise in China's new energy field.
The second son, Bai Zhiya, is Bai Lang's father. Compared with his smart and capable elder brother, the second son of the Bai family is much more mediocre. The most widely circulated rumor is that he is a playboy and has many illegitimate children. Therefore, it is hard to say how much gold content this illegitimate son of Bai Lang has.
"Now you understand, right? Even though he's just an illegitimate child, this young master is not something that ordinary people like us can afford to offend." Zhou Jinsen sighed, unable to hide his worry, "When you go to the crew next week, try to avoid Bai Lang. If he makes things difficult for you, just bear with it. If that doesn't work, go find Director Li."
Le Jing nodded, "Don't worry, I understand."
No wonder Bai Lang is so fearless, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just an illegitimate child. His father has many illegitimate children, so he may not really care about this mentally retarded son. Le Jing's revenge may not be without room for maneuver.
But we will have to talk about all this later.
The important thing now is to finish the second episode, "Little People".
…
…
After a day of hard work, Le Jing finally completed the second episode of "Little People" and uploaded it to Qijiang Video Network.
Almost at the moment he successfully uploaded the video, more than a dozen messages appeared in the comment section.
[Black Cat Knight: Damn, it’s finally updated!!!]
[Law of the Dark Jungle: Ahhhhh, the scenery, I love you!! I'm going to watch it first! After watching it, I'll reward you with 100 star coins to show my support!!]
[8848 Terminal is great: I was recommended this by a colleague. Is it really that good?]
[It's Luo Bao, not Luo Bo: I've finally waited for it! This week, my friends and I have been promoting your work to various platforms. Don't worry, Feng Jing, we will definitely help you debut! ]
This was originally a very normal comment, but I don’t know why there were suddenly more than a dozen strange comments below it.
'Watching the chopping.'
"If you have the guts, chop it off."
"I've read it, it's not good, you can chop it off."
Le Jing raised his eyebrows. His intuition was that something seemed to be wrong with Amway.
…
Zhong Liangning is a small internet celebrity in the history circle on Xingbo. He doesn't have many fans, only about 500,000. Although he doesn't have many fans, he is a very active one. After all, the history circle is a cold circle, and there are not many people in the circle. But relatively speaking, there are not many disputes in the circle, and everyone is very Buddhist.
That day, Zhong Liangning was free, so he started to look through the comments under his latest blog, and randomly picked a few comments to reply to. Then the next comment made him frown. The ID name is Luo Bao is not Luo Bo, and he is also an old fan. Why is the content of the comment so KY?
It's Luo Bao, not Luo Bo: I'd like to recommend a video to you, "The Little People in the History of Ancient Earth Civilization". It's super good. If it's not good, I'll chop it off live. Please go watch it! Link:
This post was reposted by Zhong Liangning about an MV with an ancient style plot made by a friend in the circle. The comments below were all flattering. The comment "It's Luo Bao, not Luo Bo" was obviously an advertisement to take advantage of the popularity, and most of the netizens' replies below were also focused on making fun of it.
Quite a few netizens were attracted by the oath of chopping off the dick during live broadcast, and they all laughed and said, "I'm going to watch it, remember to chop off the dick."
If it were usual, Zhong Liangning would choose to ignore such KY advertisements that were just trying to ride on the popularity of the site, but today he clicked on it for some unknown reason. It was definitely not because he wanted to watch the poster's live broadcast of chopping things off, he was just bored, and was also interested in the interesting history of ancient Earth civilization that the poster mentioned.
The video jumped to Qijiang Video Network. Zhong Liangning remembered that Qijiang Video Network recently held a youth video competition and invited him to be a judge. The money was quite high. It was really rich.
The video was quickly cached and started playing. To be honest, Zhong Liangning was disappointed when he heard the prelude to the ending theme: free music that was everywhere was so common that his ears were almost callused. It was obvious that the author didn't care about this kind of music, so the quality of this video could be imagined.
Then in the next moment, Zhong Liangning was slapped in the face.
He stared at the pictures flashing quickly on the screen, and quickly paused them.
The picture is frozen on a circle of huge rocks in the wilderness.
It seems ordinary at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more interesting and mysterious it becomes, and it always gives him a wonderful sense of déjà vu.
This wonderful sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger as he saw, one after another, the strange giant statue overlooking the sea, the strange leaning tower that was suspected to be a shoddy construction, and the dilapidated stone building that looked like a gymnasium. Finally, when he met the black-haired woman's quiet but mysterious smile, a flash of truth suddenly broke through the fog and passed through his chaotic brain. He suddenly remembered a name from the depths of his memory - "Mona Lisa", and along with this name, also evoked the names of other pictures - Stonehenge in the UK, the Easter Island statues, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the ancient Roman Colosseum.
They were all miracles in the history of human civilization, but now have long since turned into dust in the universe along with the earth. Future generations can only imagine their glory through a few words in history books.
He watched the rapidly flashing images in silence.
The Great Wall, the Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, endless terracotta warriors, Jerusalem, religious ceremonies... they were all microcosms of a certain period of human civilization and a collection of a brilliant and glorious history.
Slowly, Zhong Liangning's eyes became more and more moist, and a surge of emotion and pride surged and stirred in his heart.
Because of the near-extinction of human civilization during the alien colonization period, most of them did not even leave any film or television materials. Later historians could only reconstruct them through virtual data on optical computers based on fragments of historical books and myths and legends passed down from generation to generation.
Zhong Liangning had also seen those restoration images, but none of them gave him the same feeling as this video. These images were too real, as if they were not simulated data, but real photos!
These images are somewhat different from the images restored by historians. One can imagine how much effort the video maker had to put in to produce so many pictures.
When he first heard the opening song, Zhong Liangning felt that the producer was perfunctory, but now he doesn't think so at all.
The author has spent so much time and energy on creating the restoration pictures of the ancient artifacts, so how could he be perfunctory about the most important opening song?
Listening to this music again now, Zhong Liangning feels it is magnificent and every note is full of epic solemnity. Only music like this is worthy of these pictures.
With such a well-made title, the main text won't be bad either! With such a belief, Zhong Liangning immersed himself in the world of the video with anticipation, and then cried countless times in just ten minutes.
For the first time in his life, he had a deep understanding of the weight and sacredness of history.
He finally understood why China attached so much importance to historical heritage.
At first, it was just a simple belief to record the true history, but in the process of implementing the belief, countless people sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for it.
Behind the calm history are the blood and lives of countless people, so forgetting history is equivalent to betrayal.
Zhong Liangning wiped away his tears and began to look forward to the second story. Would the second one also move him so much?
A solemn voiceover sounded: [It is said that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom invaded, and the Song army was defeated step by step, and even the capital fell, and the Northern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed. Later, the exiled government established a new dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and opposed the Jin Kingdom from a distance, which was known as the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time of turmoil, a heroic young man suddenly appeared, vowing to avenge the previous humiliation and take back the old territory. The boy was named Yue Fei, and he was a general.]
Who is Yue Fei?
It seems that this person was mentioned in some ancient fragment, but Zhong Liangning only knew that he was a famous general who was killed by treacherous officials. But he had no idea what he had done or why he was killed by treacherous officials.
So will this video talk about Yue Fei's life in detail?
No, it doesn't.
On the contrary, it tells the story of a small person after Yue Fei was killed by treacherous officials.
Compared with Yue Fei's glorious life, this little man's life was too insignificant. The only thing he did in his life that was worthy of praise was that he secretly buried Yue Fei's body.
It's just digging a hole and burying it. Is it necessary to make a video to praise such a simple thing?
However, Zhong Liangning, who watched the entire video, thinks it is very necessary.
He didn't know whether the story was true or not, but he was willing to believe that it was true.
He was willing to believe that when Yue Fei really died unjustly and no one came to collect his body, there really was such a small figure in history who stepped forward, carried Yue Fei's body and buried him, so that those who were loyal and serving the people would not be let down and their boiling blood would not be frozen by the cold reality.
If the first video moved him, made him cry, and made him feel awe and gratitude for history, then the second story made him reflect on himself and determined to defend justice to the end.
In the turbulent tide of the times, the little people are helpless and cannot fight against fate. But even so, even so, the little people can stick to their hearts and not follow the crowd, and stick to justice and fairness in their own way.
The little guy may be small, but his spirit is not small!
Zhong Liangjing thought quietly, chewing on the meaning of his insights, and found it more and more interesting the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but click on the author's page again, and his eyes once again stayed on the author's name.
He said to himself: "Old scenery, what kind of person are you?"
In his opinion, he should be a cultured person who is well-read and wise.
It was a really good film.
Such excellent works deserve to be seen by more people!
He decisively forwarded the message that it was Luo Bao who was not Luo Bo who was live-streaming chopped dicks, and added a sentence: "If it doesn't look good, I will also live-stream chopped dicks."
After a while, his phone started ringing one after another: "Lao Zhong, what's going on with your Weibo?"
"Has your account been hacked?"
"Fuck Zhong Liangning, are you going to be a eunuch?"
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Does my sister-in-law know about this?"
In response to questions from friends, family, and readers, Zhong Liangning only replied: "Go watch the video and you will know."
…
…
Le Jing had no idea that his work had gained a new big shot as a fan. At this moment, he was staring at the profits in the background and fell into deep thought.
This week, his daily subscriptions have been growing steadily, and now he has more than 10,000 star coins, which is more profitable than his most optimistic estimate.
Adding the 30,000 star coins in his account for medical expenses, he now has more than 40,000 in savings (of course, if you take into account his 200,000 debt, he is now in debt of 160,000). It's time to pay back the money he owes Sister Zhang.
…
When Zhang Yanfang received Shi Jing's call, she was arguing with her son. She was so angry at that troublesome bastard that her head hurt. When she heard the phone ring, she answered it without even looking at it. Her tone was inevitably a little aggressive: "Hello! Who is it?"
There was silence for a few moments, and then a gentle and calm voice sounded: "Sister Zhang? I'm Shi Jing."
"Oh, it's Shi Jing." Zhang Yanfang quickly softened her voice. This guy had just committed suicide, so she didn't dare to provoke him. She just asked gently, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ting's eyes widened, and he immediately stretched his ears to lean over. Zhang Yanfang immediately slapped this troublesome and unfilial son away, and said with a smile: "Auntie is not in a hurry about the rent. It doesn't matter what you give. If you have money, buy yourself some delicious food to nourish your body. Auntie is not short of money."
Zhang Ting just looked on coldly as his mother, the tigress, smiled like a pool of spring water, her voice so gentle that water could drip out.
After Zhang Yanfang hung up the phone, Zhang Ting immediately frowned and said sarcastically, "Another client of yours?"
Zhang Yanfang was furious. "Bullshit, I've been a good woman for a long time! And what's wrong with being a prostitute? If your mom hadn't sold her pussy to support you, you would have starved to death, not to mention going to school!"
Zhang Ting stiffened her neck, bit her lips, and said nothing.
Zhang Yanfang's home was just downstairs from Le Jing. Le Jing brought a bag of fruit and knocked on the door. He faintly heard a fierce quarrel inside. He paused and raised his voice, "Sister Zhang, I'm Shi Jing. Are you home?"
The quarreling sounds from inside the door suddenly stopped, and then the sound of high heels tapping on the floor was heard coming from far away, and the door quickly opened.
Sister Zhang's eyes were red and her makeup was smudged. It was obvious that she had just cried. When she saw Le Jing outside the door, her eyes were a little evasive: "Why are you here?"
Le Jing pretended not to notice Sister Zhang's abnormality and said gently, "I'll pay you back."
Zhang Yanfang wanted to refuse: "Oh, I've already told you that you don't have to pay me back. Auntie doesn't need money for the time being..."
"It's okay, Auntie. I've found a new job as an assistant director in a film crew. The director is very kind and gave me a red envelope. Now I have money and can pay you back."
Le Jing originally wanted to comfort the landlord, but he didn't expect Sister Zhang's face to become even worse. Before he could investigate, a clear young voice rang out from inside the house: "Wait, you said you were the assistant director?!"
A young man poked his head out from behind Zhang Yanfang, his eyes sparkling, and asked Le Jing expectantly: "What are you shooting? Are you still short of actors? What do you think of me?"
Zhang Yanfang's face turned pale, and she didn't care about being polite and was about to close the door, "Shi Jing, we can talk about it later, you can go back first."
The young man struggled and yelled, "Hey! Don't leave! Stay, I have something to ask you! Mom, let me go, if you try to stop me again I will die in front of you!"
In short, after a series of farces, Le Jing finally got into the house and finally understood what happened from the mother and son who were at loggerheads with each other.
It turned out that it was Zhang Ting, Zhang Jie's son, who was in the first year of high school this year and wanted to drop out of school to become an actor. Zhang Jie naturally disagreed, and the mother and son had no idea how many times they had quarreled over this matter. Zhang Jie beat and scolded Zhang Ting, but she couldn't make this stubborn boy change his mind. Zhang Ting was determined to become an actor in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yanfang wiped away her tears sadly and complained to Le Jing: "You say, is it that easy to be an actor? We are just ordinary people, with no money or power. The circle is very chaotic. If no one supports us, can we make it?"
Zhang Ting argued, "Mom! I can do it! Look, I'm not bad looking, and I have talent! I was born to do this!"
Zhang Ting is indeed very good-looking, with skin as smooth as a baby's and almost invisible pores. Her pair of peach blossom eyes are sparkling and her radiant gaze has charmed countless young girls. Her lips are rosy and plump, and her smile reveals the indescribable youthful spirit.
As for talent...
Le Jing: "Can you cry for me?"
Zhang Ting blinked and immediately two lines of tears fell, and she stared at Le Jing with misty peach blossom eyes.
"laugh."
"worry."
"anger."
Zhang Ting switches between various emotions at will, easily and casually, all in one go.
It seems that the phrase "talented" is not an exaggeration.
Le Jing nodded and said to Zhang Yanfang, "Sister Zhang, how about this? It's summer vacation now and he has nothing to do at home. Let him go to the crew with me next week to experience it. We don't lack actors now, but I can talk to the director and let him watch and help out on the side. Just treat it as social practice. When he understands how tiring this job is, he will understand the benefits of studying."
Zhang Yanfang was somewhat moved.
Zhang Ting: "Mom, just let me try! Even if I give up at that time, it will be my business, otherwise I will be unwilling for the rest of my life!"
Zhang Yanfang finally nodded with difficulty, and smiled at Le Jing embarrassedly, "Then...Xiao Jing, I'm sorry, my son will trouble you. If he doesn't listen, you can teach him a lesson, don't save face for auntie."
Le Jing smiled and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? You are my savior, and Zhang Ting is like my brother. I also want to thank you for giving me a chance to repay you. I think Zhang Ting is very sensible and will not cause any trouble, so you can rest assured."
Zhang Yanfang looked at Le Jing with a gentler gaze. She had not expected anything in return when she had shown her kindness. Now that she had received the boy's sincere gratitude, her mood inevitably became better.
He is a good child who knows how to repay kindness.
She smiled and shook her head. "One thing is one thing. No matter what, Auntie is indebted to you for this matter. How about this, Auntie will cook a big meal tonight, and you can come too, and the three of us can have a good meal."
Le Jing declined several times, but when he realized he couldn't refuse anymore, he gave in.
…
After dinner, Zhang Ting insisted on seeing Le Jing off. Le Jing saw that he had something to say, and he also had something to ask Zhang Ting.
The two stood in the corridor, with the deep night sky above their heads and the bright and clear moon.
Zhang Ting turned his back to Le Jing and lazily leaned on the railing. The rebelliousness just now was washed away from his face, and he looked a little calmer.
"Thank you for today."
Le Jing leaned against the railing, and a few small flying insects flew around the sensor light above his head. "You're welcome. It has nothing to do with you. I am just repaying your mother."
Zhang Ting was silent again.
Le Jing retracted his upward gaze, glanced at the boy's silent profile, and asked, "Why do you want to be an actor?"
This time the boy was silent for a long time, so long that Le Jing stood up, thinking that he would not get an answer. When he walked to the stairs and prepared to go downstairs to go home, the boy suddenly answered in a low voice behind him: "My mother used to be an actress."
He turned around in surprise, only to see the young man's back as he pushed the door open.
…
It was already 7:30 in the evening when Le Jing returned home.
He had just finished taking a shower when the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He answered suspiciously, "Hello?"
A polite male voice came from the other side: "Hello, are you Mr. Old Scenery?"
Le Jing raised his eyebrows, with some guesses in his mind, but he still asked knowingly: "I am, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Old Scenery. I am the editor of Qijiang Video Network. My name is Qianhe."
"What do you want from me?"
"It's like this. Our website is very optimistic about Fengjing. We think Fengjing has great potential. I wonder if Fengjing is willing to sign a contract with our website?"
"What are the benefits of signing a contract?"
"Contracted authors can be featured on our website's exclusive recommendation section, which gives them more exposure opportunities. We will also have exclusive copyright editors who will recommend your work to film companies, which will give them a better chance of having their work bought by a film company. At the same time, our editors will also provide authors with a series of professional guidance to help them create."
“What about the copyright share?”
"We will only take 20% of the copyright fees."
Le Jing didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just said: "Send me the contract first, I will study it and give you a reply."
"OK."
After reading the electronic version of the contract three times and making sure there were no loopholes or traps in it, Le Jing finally signed Shi Jing's name on the contract and became a contracted author of Qijiang Literature Network.
He stretched himself, after being busy for so long, it was time to take a break and have some fun. He opened the Xingbo hot search and prepared to check out the news and gossip.
He clicked on the trending searches one by one to eat the melons. When he saw the trending search "Not good to watch live broadcast of chopping off the dick", he shook his head and smiled, secretly feeling that this is worthy of being interstellar, the degree of openness is so high. If such a pornographic and violent trending search happened on Earth, it would definitely be censored.
He clicked on it casually, and what caught his eye was a post by a user named Zhong Liangning that read "If it doesn't look good, I'll also do a live stream of it chopping it off."
Below this Star Blog, there are a lot of comments saying “If it doesn’t look good, I’ll also chop it off live”, it’s like a large-scale Star Telephone Repeater.
Le Jing's curiosity was completely aroused.
What on earth is so beautiful? So beautiful that you don’t even want to hold it in your mouth?
Just then, a star-shaped figure caught his attention.
Among a large number of repeaters who say "If it doesn't look good, I'll also chop it off live", this is the only one who, in addition to chopping off its own teeth, also highly praises the opening of the video, saying that it has an epic soundtrack and epic editing.
So he excitedly clicked on the video link, intending to see which big treasure it was.
The next moment, an exciting and free epic music prelude sounded in his small rental house, and pictures of the Great Wall, the Egyptian pyramids, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Mona Lisa's mysterious smile and so on flashed one after another.
Le Jing: ...
Le Jing: ???
