New teammates
——"Are you interested in being my teammate?"
Even after leaving the Dream Building Studio and returning home, Ao Qingxue was still in a daze, with Director Shang's questions still lingering in her ears.
She sat there for a long time, lost in thought, and suddenly shouted, "Mom! I want to change jobs!"
These days she lives with her mother because it is closer to St. Ritter. Now that she has the good news, her first thought is to share it with her mother.
"Huh!" Her mother was startled by her sudden voice and rubbed her head in amusement. "You didn't want to eat or drink for the whole afternoon, just for this? What kind of work is this?"
Ao Qingxue finally came back to her senses. There seemed to be stars in her eyes, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she touched her hair and giggled.
"It's a really, really good job, Mom. I'll tell you when it's settled." She rubbed her face, but even though she stopped curling up the corners of her mouth, a smile still showed in her eyes, "My dream can come true!"
At that time, she just felt like she was hit by a pie in the sky. Without thinking, she blurted out "Okay!", and the people around her also burst into shocked exclamations.
Director Shang said that if we are interested, we can continue to contact each other, but there is no need to make a decision so quickly, as the contract and other details need to be discussed in detail.
They exchanged contact information and edited each other's contact information.
"That's great." Although the mother didn't know the specific information, she was still happy for her.
After finishing dinner, Ao Qingxue immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and went into her room. She opened her computer and saw the pinned contact. She rolled around on the bed with joy.
Well, the remarks can be changed, no need to call her “Director Shang”… If we really become teammates, can we just call her “Yanyan” in the future?
And Yun Yongxue... Oh my god, doesn't that mean this musical genius will also become her teammate?
What happened today was better than the best future Ao Qingxue had imagined. Not only could she realize her dream of becoming a scene builder, she also succeeded in chasing her idol and became her idol's teammate.
The goal she originally set for herself was just to join Director Shang's studio team.
Director Shang made an appointment with her to discuss the details. Ao Qingxue turned over and sat up and began to look through the closet to match the clothes she would wear that day.
The person in the mirror had long straight black hair, a delicate face, and wore glasses. He was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and long pants. He was obviously older than Shang Jingyan, but looked more like a student.
She put on several sets of her mother's clothes, trying to make herself look more mature and reliable, but she laughed as she was putting them on: Why bother? Director Shang is not the kind of person who cares about these things.
Ao Qingxue put down his clothes, closed his eyes and meditated, entering into a spiritual picture.
Rather than focusing on her appearance, she should have been more prepared for the partner test with Director Shang that day.
In the center of her spiritual vision, the spiritual tree was no longer withered, but had grown into a towering tree with spreading branches and leaves as green as jade carvings. Only a few traces of burns could be seen at the roots.
Ao Qingxue's perspective turned into a tree, and when he looked up he saw the boundless blue sky, and his spiritual picture had no boundaries as far as the eye could see.
Before she got sick, her mental strength was A-level 91, but after she got sick, it dropped to the passing line. I haven't measured it yet, but the boundary of her mental picture has exceeded the previous range. Ao Qingxue herself speculated that her current mental strength is about 95.
Not only did it cure syringomyelia, it also improved on the original basis, which can be called a medical miracle.
But compared to Director Shang's 180cm, it was only about half of hers. Ao Qingxue didn't dare to be proud, and thought anxiously: Can she succeed in partnering with Director Shang?
[People really should go out more often. Look, my teammates have been found. ]
Shang Jingyan finished a day's roadshow, stretched lazily and sighed.
As her work got on track, she began to feel the importance of teamwork. At present, she basically treated herself as a member of a crew, doing all the work of costumes, props, scenes, editing, etc.
Thanks to the special spiritual space of this world and her high spiritual power, she still has some energy to spare for now. But if this continues, she will definitely not have enough energy.
Shang Jingyan has always wanted to find a teammate to share her burden. Unfortunately, there are many outstanding talents in the world, but not many can resonate with her.
She had noticed Ao Qingxue a long time ago and had thought about extending an olive branch, but firstly, they were too far apart, and secondly, she was not sure whether Ao Qingxue's mental strength could match hers.
Now, neither of these two issues is a problem anymore.
She was in a good mood, so she didn't go back for the time being. Instead, she strolled slowly on St. Riet Street in the night, browsing her laptop.
As she expected, Su Shudong's matter became a hot topic.
Hua Feitian is from the exiled galaxy. She is considered a "dragon from the river" in the upper circles of the main galaxy. If she were someone else, the second generation would exclude her. But Su Shudong's reputation is too bad, and with Su Tong's instructions, this time it was a rare situation where the local snake could not suppress the dragon from the river.
In the short term, Su Shudong might not dare to come for road performances. Even if he wants to perform, he has to change to another work urgently so that no one can recognize him.
Shang Jingyan made a rough calculation and thought that his current financial situation would be better than washing dishes to make money faster. It must have cost a lot of money to rent the roadshow shed in the Central Square? It was pitiful.
Hua Feitian's brilliant move left her with nowhere to go.
She originally wanted to follow the common practice of dream builders in this world and make a work bet with Su Shudong, that is, under the witness of the association, both parties would choose the subject matter and make a work each, and use the audience feedback to speak for themselves. They would list the conditions in advance, and the loser must comply, otherwise he would be punished by the Dream Building Association. Compared with the mutual exposure of negative information in the entertainment industry in her previous life, this kind of "duel" was much more civilized, and she liked it.
Didn't Su Shudong always want to compete with her? Then he would be convinced.
[Then Yanyan, are you going to let him go? ] X71 knew her original thoughts and asked, [Then he will get away with it! ]
[Of course not.] Shang Jingyan said lazily, [This method can quickly increase popularity and fame in a short period of time, so why not do it?]
Su Shudong was secondary, what she wanted most was to take the opportunity to become famous in the main galaxy. As long as her reputation was established, even if she returned to the exiled galaxy in the future, this place would become her permanent audience library.
However, the roadshow format seems to be unworkable and we have to wait for the right opportunity.
She staggered until she reached the square and saw the roadshow tent in the center.
Before that, let's take over this place that Su Shudong has to pay to go to. It shouldn't take long.
Facts have proved that Shang Jingyan's judgment was correct.
In less than a week, her roadshow had reached the required level of popularity for the square and would serve as the finale performance this Friday.
These days, only 20% of the players who come are her original fans, and most of them are new fans and passers-by who come here because of her reputation.
The people in the main galaxy are indeed wealthy. She can make a fortune just by accumulating rewards from roadshows.
The previous lectures made her loved and respected by the students in the main galaxy's colleges and universities. Even with Su Shudong's "help" in promoting her terrifying level of mental power, the public still didn't care.
The only thing that can make the public remember a creator is his works, and "Electronic Pen Fairy" made Shang Jingyan officially famous among the general audience of the main galaxy.
Until now, the audience of the capital star had a sense of reality: Oh, the dream builder who created the horror wind in the exiled galaxy has really come to us! She is recently having a road show in Saint Ritter, and I heard it is very interesting. Should we go and see it?
The idea was born, and the following associations were natural:
The road show is too far and I’m too lazy to go/there are too many people and I can’t see it, so let’s just take a look at her previous works.
"Infinite Heartbeat", this is the most popular one, and it is also being broadcasted here simultaneously, so let's watch this first...
Hey, it turns out that the new internet-famous horror theme park that happened some time ago was also her idea. This dream builder is quite talented!
There are many more examples like this.
Gamma galaxy.
"Ah! Damn it! Why is Director Shang doing this again without taking us with him?"
Lu Zibing had just returned from a trip to the Exile Galaxy not long ago. He had experienced almost every haunted house on every planet, shouting and running wildly the whole time, and had lost all the weight he had gained from eating in the small kitchen.
Among the three major galaxies now, if you ask which one has the most offline horror attractions, it would definitely be the Exile Galaxy.
Both the Chinese horror theme park and the Gothic horror theme park have already opened, and the "Wandering Kitchen" production team has kept their word and is working with the catering giant of the Exiled Galaxy to open Shang Jingyan's "Feast of the Underworld" series of restaurants.
Coincidentally, this catering industry giant is the Hua family, and the current person at the helm is Hua Feitian’s biological mother.
It is said that when Hua Feitian was in the program group, her mother asked Hua Feitian if she wanted to help promote the show. After all, the guest dream builder in the food program group had a food-related family background and it sounded very explosive, but Hua Feitian refused.
Later, Hua's mother asked Hua Feitian if she wanted to open her snack supermarket, but was rejected again. The paparazzi claimed that what Hua Feitian said was: "Can you and my father just care about our own illegitimate children and leave me alone? I'm so annoyed!"
Currently, the first Hades Restaurant has opened in the Exile Galaxy Blue River Moon. It was packed with people on the opening day, and many lucky players won the "living soul accidentally entering the underworld" setting.
Before Lu Zibing left the Exiled Galaxy, he went to have a meal, and was lucky enough to become a living soul to make up for the regrets during the show.
Director Shang obviously wants to make the restaurant bigger and stronger, so he gave it a complete design, and the underworld is also divided into the main office and branches.
——Every place in the human world has a corresponding underworld, there is no problem with that.
Lanheyue is the headquarters, and branches will be designed according to the characteristics of different planets in the future. For example, V059, which is famous for its seafood, will have many "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" among its ghost waiters, and occasionally trigger the plot of "The Dragon King comes to the banquet."
The main galaxy now also has a horror theme park and haunted house, and even Shang Jingyan himself is currently there.
Only the Gamma Galaxy had nothing. Seeing that the terrorist wave was about to spread from the mainstream galaxy, the people of the Gamma Galaxy became anxious and requested to open a haunted house as well.
Lu Zibing logged into Shang Dao's private forum skillfully and touched his chin: "Pen Fairy? Let me see what this is..."
On the first day of the roadshow, Shang Jingyan was recognized by fans, and there were several discussion threads in the forum. However, once spoilers were revealed, the fun of the script-killing would be gone, so there were only a few words in the forum, which made Lu Zibing feel itchy.
The most complete information is about how to play the "Pen Fairy" in the script-killing game, because it does not involve spoilers.
There are also fans with related majors who searched through ancient books and finally found the relevant records of the previous star calendar, and also did some folk science popularization.
[Wow, Director Shang has found such an obscure record. I really admire Director Shang's knowledge.]
[It looks very interesting, but also a bit scary. Do people in the last calendar like horror metaphysics? ]
[Since Shang Dao became famous, many history and science bloggers have started talking about the horror elements of the First Star Calendar. I find it very interesting. It's really strange. I don't know why we didn't popularize it before...]
Lu Zibing watched and an idea came to him: "I have a good idea."
The most feared commentator is that he will have an idea: [? Host, what did you think of? Don’t think about it, I’m scared. ]
Lu Zibing was very excited and changed the title of the live broadcast room to: [Live broadcast of summoning electronic pen fairy, a new way to test your courage! ]
【Good fellow! 】
[I am dying of laughter, host, you are really brave! ]
"If there is no terror, then I will create it myself!" Lu Zibing said confidently, and started to open the communication to call friends. "You wait, I will start when everyone gathers! We must summon the Pen Fairy before the broadcast of "Infinite Heartbeat" tonight!"
By the time Shang Jingyan saw the news, Lu Zibing had already become a hot topic in the galaxy for his amazing move.
He called over a group of brave friends and replicated the process of summoning the spirit of the pen in Shang Jingyan's script-killing game one-to-one, but of course, in the end, they got nothing.
Lu Zibing edited the live broadcast into a video and uploaded it. At the end of the video, he said: "It shows that everyone still needs to believe in science. There is no such thing as a pen fairy in the world, alas!"
Shang Jingyan: “…”
My friend, why do I feel like you are feeling quite regretful?
She forwarded the video and replied sincerely with one word: [6].
[I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. This is the affirmation from the dream builder himself: 6. ]
[Director Shang: What I make is a horror script-killing video, not a metaphysics teaching video, thank you! ]
[Lu Zibing, you are indeed Lu Bold. Next time, would you like to replicate the real process of summoning the spirit of the pen in the calendar records, without using electronic products, and use real paper, pen, and real candle (dog head).]
Lu Zibing's amazing move really amazed everyone, and as a result, concepts such as "Bi Xian" and "Fuji" became really popular, and some people even found "Die Xian" in the records.
Therefore, the interstellar people learned it on their own and arranged for the pots, pans, and spoons to be prepared.
Originally, a roadshow should not be popular beyond the galaxy or even the planet it is on, but now, even fans of the Gamma Galaxy are asking:
[Director Shang, when will the online game version of "Electronic Pen Fairy" be released? I can't wait! ]
[For the game, is it a pure APP version or a StarNet holographic version? ]
[Will Director Shang make a holographic version? This will restore the roadshow experience to the greatest extent! ]
It is much more difficult to make a holographic version of a script-killing multiplayer game than hide-and-seek, and it requires more than one person's mental network to build it. The fans' questions are actually a disguised way of asking her if she wants to find a scene designer teammate.
Shang Jingyan read the comments for a while and found them very funny, with a smile on his face the whole time.
She updated the production team list of "Infinite Heartbeat" and replied to a fan comment: [It will be a holographic version, so stay tuned^_^]
——She originally wanted to take the simple version, but now, she and Ao Qingxue have successfully signed a contract, and the three-person team has officially taken shape.
【? What! Director Shang has a new teammate! 】
[Who is it? Ahhhh, I'm so curious! Why does Director Shang always keep silent and hide the big news? ]
[There’s one more person in the signature column of “Infinite Heartbeat”! Oh my god, it’s Ao Qingxue? The artist anchor I’m following? Shocked!! Both fans are ecstatic! ]
After he finished speaking, Shang Jingyan ignored the buzzing comment section and put down his laptop.
Pei Yi on the other side said, "If you search the movie library now, you will find "Night of the Pen Fairy", "Strange Things about the Ouija Board", "Stories of the School Pen Fairy"... many dream builders have released similar titles."
This type of dream builder is not uncommon. They are at the forefront of chasing trends. They have also participated in previous themes such as "Gothic", "Reincarnation", and "Infinite Flow", and there are many eye-catching works among them.
This time, Shang Jingyan's fame grew, and similar themes popped up like mushrooms after a rain in just a few days. Most of them didn't even have a trailer, only a title and a description, but the "I want to watch" red heart had been clicked by an astonishing number of viewers.
It means a market, a hungry audience market that needs to be developed urgently.
Shang Jingyan is like a whale, discovering the treasures of the previous calendar and creating works, while the other dream builders are the school of fish following behind her, constantly decomposing and dispersing the horrific elements that she has knocked down.
Pei Yi arrived at the main star system only yesterday, a few days later than expected. At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the new Chinese horror theme park restaurant built by Su's Cultural Tourism on the capital star, and Shang Jingyan was treating him to a tour.
Shang Jingyan thought of the horror movies about pen spirits that were popular in his previous life, and suppressed a smile, saying, "I'm quite looking forward to the finished product."
This subject matter is too unnew to her and she has long been tired of it, so she came up with the gimmick of "electronic pen fairy". The creative point of the script-killing is not essentially the pen fairy.
I wonder if the interstellar people can come up with new ideas?
After a night's rest and adjusting to the jet lag, Pei Yi looked a little sleepy. Today he was wearing a Chinese-style suit with a white background and ink-painted patterns, which matched the green nether fire behind him very well.
"If you feel sleepy, watch a horror movie." Shang Jingyan made a devilish voice and projected the light brain screen. "My new teammate will be participating in tonight's episode of "Princess's Tomb". Come and help me see how it works."
