Chapter 141 Bookstore Smash
Tang Manjing finally understood: "So, you can't accept me writing the wrong story into a script, that's why you keep deleting my files?"
Yan Hui readily admitted it, her tone even carrying a hint of self-righteousness: "That's right, I did it."
Speaking of this, it's infuriating: "You have your mother's Baidu Baike entry in your bookmarks. I've researched it; she has connections and resources in the entertainment industry."
If you actually finish writing the script, she'll assemble a production crew for you, buy trending topics to promote it, and turn it into a hit drama. Wouldn't that flawed story then spread throughout the country?!
I don't want the whole country to think I'm love-struck!!!
Everyone: "......"
Goodness, this ancient person from before the founding of the People's Republic of China has actually figured out the unspoken rules of the Chinese entertainment industry.
Editor-in-Chief Tang was mortified, wishing he could disappear into the ground. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "I...I really didn't think of that, I absolutely had no such intention."
Yan Hui: "But if you want to, you can do it."
Zhang Mo admired the female ghost's thinking: "Prevention is better than cure, that's reasonable."
Tang Manjing's mind was still a bit confused: "No, no, wait a minute, something doesn't seem right."
No, no, according to what you said, you should have followed me three years ago when I went to the village.
But at that time, I hadn't even thought about writing this script yet. So why did you follow me back then?
Yan Hui: "Oh, I was simply attracted by the anti-Japanese spy drama you were watching back then."
Tang Manjing: "Huh???"
Tang Manjing probably couldn't understand why, compared to the increasingly unfamiliar village, the fictional TV series felt more familiar to Yan Hui. This was a truly laughable, pathetic, and pitiful situation.
Yan Hui spread her hands: "You see, although I've been following you for the past few years, all I've done is watch dramas on your computer, nothing else."
Tang Manjing looked dazed and murmured, "...No wonder my video viewing history keeps showing TV series I haven't seen before." She had always thought it was a system bug or that her account had been hacked.
Yan Hui: "If you hadn't insisted on writing this story this time, I wouldn't have bothered you."
Oh, by the way, your video subscription is about to expire, remember to renew it so I don't miss out on watching my shows.
Tang Manjing: "......"
Editor-in-Chief Tang looked incredulous: "Then, what about all those strange phenomena in the house? What moved to a different place, and what about ghostly figures?"
Yan Hui calmly explained, "I didn't do that. It was your old lady. She died so peacefully that she didn't even realize it herself. I made her watch 'The Sixth Sense' several times afterward, and she finally believed it. She has already obediently reincarnated."
The Sixth Sense, a classic thriller, tells the story of a psychiatrist who tries to help a young boy who can see ghosts, only to discover in the end that he himself is already dead.
"By the way, the old lady picked up your laptop when you threw it away. She said that if you two ever ruined something good again, she would haunt you even as a ghost."
Editor-in-Chief Tang & Tang Manjing: "......"
What a thrifty Chinese elder!
Once everything is out in the open, things become simpler.
Tang Manjing looked like a wilted eggplant, dejected: "So that's how it is, I understand, I'm not writing this script anymore." Thinking back to how moved she was back then, she felt like a naive little fool.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mo suddenly spoke up: "Why not write? Keep writing."
Everyone, including the fox and the ghost, stared at her in astonishment.
Tang Manjing didn't understand, so she tentatively asked, "Mr. Zhang said that I should write according to the true story from back then?"
Zhang Mo: "No, I want you to write based on the true story of 'now'."
Following the template of popular time-travel novels, a female warrior from a hundred years ago is reborn into modern society, only to find that her past achievements have been swallowed up and erased by men, and she has been turned into a mere accessory.
This time, she's going to take back everything that's rightfully hers.
Tang Manjing's eyes lit up instantly. She looked at Zhang Mo in amazement and clapped her hands excitedly, saying, "Oh! Oh! Oh! This is great! This is great!!!"
Zhang Chenxiao: "I only have one thing to say: No bookstore should be destroyed!"
Yan Hui was also stunned. Her mouth gaped slightly as she asked in disbelief, "Is this okay?!"
Even Editor-in-Chief Tang got fired up: "Sure, why not?! Keep writing, honey, and Mom will find you the best team!"
Zhang Chenxiao: "Please let me sing the theme song."
.
This matter was handled so beautifully that Editor-in-Chief Tang personally drove them to the airport, praising the two people and the fox endlessly.
But you can tell that the focus is still on praising Mo.
It's obvious that Editor-in-Chief Tang has realized that Zhang Mo is the powerful backer behind Zhang Chenxiao, the "Number One Fortune Teller in the Chinese Entertainment Industry." While the Fox Fairy is indeed formidable, she seems no match for CEO Zhang's strategic brilliance.
The modest Zhang Mo simply smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any real skills; it's all thanks to Xiaoxiao."
"Understood, understood." Editor-in-Chief Tang immediately understood. This was the hope that if anyone asked, they would still claim to the outside world that Zhang Chenxiao had helped.
Subsequently, Editor-in-Chief Tang invited the two to shoot the cover feature for the magazine's first issue this year.
Zhang Chenxiao was a little surprised: "The first phase? Is this project in time? According to the usual process, the retouching should be finished by now, right?"
After getting to know him better, Editor-in-Chief Tang turned out to be a very approachable person in private, like a kind aunt: "It's okay, we can just postpone the originally scheduled episode by one. That lousy actor who won a worthless award last year, look how arrogant he is. I didn't want to put him in the first episode in the first place, but his backer insisted on it, and I was so annoyed. Luckily, I have some dirt on him recently, so he won't dare to say anything even if we ignore him."
Although no name was mentioned, Zhang Chenxiao clearly knew who Editor-in-Chief Tang was referring to, and immediately asked curiously, "What gossip? What gossip?!"
Editor-in-Chief Tang: "I'm telling you two, whatever you do, don't tell anyone else."
Upon hearing this, even the little fox perked up its ears.
"It was during the Dream Awards ceremony, in the waiting area before the announcement. Didn't we add a seat-shaking effect? It shattered this guy's hemorrhoids, and he bled all over his pants. He was wearing blue that day, and it turned purple. He only managed to sneak out unnoticed after asking our staff for help, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing!"
"Hahahaha." Zhang Chenxiao laughed loudly.
Zhang Mo: "6"
