Chapter 677 The Mysterious Author? The plane flew smoothly above the clouds. The first-class cabin was quiet and comfortable, with soft leather seats comfortably enveloping the passengers.
After finishing a high-intensity filming session yesterday, Zhao Shuo leaned back in his chair and stretched, his joints making a slight "crackling" sound, instantly dispelling much of his accumulated fatigue.
He stretched his stiff neck, turned his gaze to the outside of the porthole, and looked down at the fluffy, cotton-candy-like white clouds. A confident smile crept onto his lips.
"In the future, there will be more and more novels adapted into TV series or web series. This is a major trend. We still need to maintain a good relationship with Endpoint Novels and keep this line firmly in our hands."
His tone was relaxed, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness, clearly indicating a clear prediction of the industry's future direction.
Upon hearing this, the female assistant sitting next to him immediately straightened her back and quickly replied:
"Yes, Brother Shuo, you're absolutely right! This time, we made our official debut at the Endpoint Novels' annual gala and had a very fruitful chat with the platform's top executives. This is equivalent to officially being labeled as part of the 'Endpoint Group' in the industry. In the future, the website will definitely give us priority consideration for cooperation on any high-quality novel IP adaptation projects."
As she spoke, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She paused, then added with a smile:
"Moreover, our popularity has been rising recently, and the data is getting better every day. The hype we did against Luo Ningning last time was very successful. By leveraging her traffic and controversy, we gained a lot of popularity from her and also gained a group of casual fans. Now the online discussion is very high."
"Heh, she brought this on herself." Zhao Shuo chuckled, his tone tinged with disdain.
"Who told her to start the trouble? Does she really think I'm easy to bully? Doesn't she know who our boss is? But then again, this wave of attention is timely, and it just happens to coincide with the annual meeting."
As he spoke, he took out his phone from his backpack, unlocked the screen, skillfully opened the Endpoint Novel App, and directly entered the reading interface of "Lord of Mysteries," finding the latest updated chapter.
Zhao Shuo watched intently, his fingertips gliding across the screen, occasionally nodding slightly as if savoring the plot.
After watching for a while, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"I really hope that Lord of Mysteries can be made into a TV series someday. I really want to play the role of Klein. He is so charming."
His tone was full of longing, and his eyes brightened.
The female assistant listened attentively, thought for a moment, and then carefully chose her words:
"It's really hard to say. The world of Lord of Mysteries is too vast, the relationships between the characters are complex, and there are many fantasy scenes, so it is indeed very difficult to film a TV series, and the cost would be very high. However, animation should be simpler. I heard from a friend in the industry recently that a large company has bought the animation adaptation rights to Lord of Mysteries and is now preparing for production in full swing."
"Oh? Then I'll have to look forward to it." Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up, and his anticipation grew even stronger.
He stopped talking and turned his attention back to his phone screen, engrossed in reading the novel. Occasionally, he would furrow his brow or curl his lips slightly as the plot unfolded.
Seeing that he was engrossed in the novel, the female assistant quietly stood up and took her makeup bag from the luggage rack.
She walked to Zhao Shuo's side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Boss, the plane will arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport in half an hour. There will be a lot of fans waiting to pick you up. You just took a nap on the plane, so don't let your hair get flat and affect your image. Let me touch up your makeup and fix your hairstyle."
Zhao Shuo didn't even look up, just gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.
The female assistant immediately opened her makeup bag, took out a small mirror, loose powder, eyebrow pencil and other tools, and carefully began to work in front of him.
"By the way, I heard the author of 'Lord of Mysteries' is coming, right?"
"Yes, it's already been announced. Panda, the author of 'Lord of Mysteries,' has successfully become a top-tier author as a newcomer and will be aiming for platinum status next year..."
"I'm really curious about who the other person is. I really don't believe that this mysterious work could be written by a newcomer."
"We'll find out the day after tomorrow. I think it'll be a middle-aged man between thirty and forty."
"I think so too. I'll have to ask someone for an autograph. I really like Klein."
"He might even have to ask Shuo for it, so they can exchange autographs."
"Ha ha......"
The white clouds outside the window were left far behind by the plane, and the sunlight shone through the porthole, casting soft light and shadow on Zhao Shuo's profile.
The plane was flying smoothly toward Beijing. The cabin was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional soft noise of the female assistant tidying up her tools and the slight rumble of the plane flying at high altitude.
Half an hour later, this brief respite in the air came to an end, and what awaited Zhao Shuo was the hustle and bustle of the airport and the enthusiasm of his fans.
