Chapter 87
The Record of Misty Mountains and Seas has caused another problem.
Just as the first trailer for "Code Name: Dodder Flower" was released, announcing the broadcast platform and time, their production team released their own trailer a couple of days later.
Releasing trailers is a minor matter; the real coincidence is that both companies have the exact same release date.
Don't tell me this is just a coincidence.
Zhang Sandao is determined to ride the coattails of the popularity of "Code Name: Dodder Flower".
- Hahahaha, you can tell he really cares about February Sky.
- December 1st isn't exclusive to "Code Name: Dodder Flower". Why can't others use it just because you used it?
-Someone's even defending this? [Speechless]
-He's a senior figure in the industry, is it really necessary to be so petty? It made me laugh.
-What a great senior! He stole his friend's scripts in his early years, and as a result, he became famous and kicked his good friend out of the industry. Look at what he has written in recent years, what kind of mess it is, it's completely unreadable.
-Is that so?
-Kids these days don't know that this incident caused quite a stir back then. That friend trusted him a lot, but he betrayed him and couldn't even produce any evidence. Anyway, he's having a really tough time now.
-I know this, and it's because of this that I've never been able to like him.
- This is 800-year-old fake news, and people still talk about it every day. You can't find anywhere else to criticize others, can you?
Go search it yourself, Zhang Sandao's lawsuit with his friend, Zhang Sandao won!!!
-What's the point of winning? It's just fooling netizens who don't understand the law. This proves nothing at all. He did it too cleanly; his friend can't produce the original manuscript.
-If the law can't prove it, what can you prove with your words? You say he did it too cleanly, but I'll say he never stole anything at all, and that he wrote the script himself.
......
The argument between netizens escalated, and the matter grew increasingly heated. The hashtag #ZhangSandaoSuspectedOfStealingFriends'Script# even made it to the tail end of the trending topics on DaYan.
Zhang Sandao Studio detected the public opinion situation in time and quickly reported it to him. Upon hearing this, his face turned ashen: "What are you still standing there for? Quickly spend money to remove the trending topic from my site!"
This matter must not be blown out of proportion.
He's not young anymore; he can't have enjoyed his glory for half his life only to end up disgraced in his old age.
He took out his phone and read through the whole story. When he saw the person in the comments section who insisted that he stole the script, he was filled with rage. When he saw that many people were speaking up for Eryuetian, he vented his anger on that person.
It's all because of the weather in February!
It seems that ever since he pulled off his scheme last year and snatched the Best Screenplay Award from February Sky, which should have belonged to him, he hasn't had a smooth year.
First, he received an award but was criticized for not living up to it, and then Liu Mingchun refused to cooperate with him.
Later, the investors on the set of the TV series went back on their word. He had agreed to help launder money because he was after the huge profits, but they turned out to be unscrupulous and didn't keep their word. The money they gave him was barely enough to fill a tooth gap.
He received less money, so he gave even less to director Sun Xiao. Sun Xiao had a big appetite; he had given him dozens of dollars, but Sun Xiao was still not satisfied. Lately, Sun Xiao had been acting like a complete jerk to him.
Thinking of the recent hit TV series "Legend of the Qing Dynasty" by February Sky, he felt even more disgusted.
He hates geniuses.
He hates geniuses who get in his way even more.
He took out his phone and made a call: "How's the digging up of dirt on 'Legend of the Qing Dynasty' going? I don't believe that not a single actor in the entire cast has any problems!"
"Many of these actors were originally amateurs, so they're really not easy to find..."
The other party spoke haltingly, clearly wanting more money.
Zhang Sandao's face turned even uglier.
"Money is no problem. You go ahead and find it. As long as the dirt is valuable enough, I'll give you double the price."
"Okay, you wait, I guarantee I'll dig it up for you!"

Ever since Jie Jia learned that Xu Ying was Er Yue Tian, she specially downloaded the Fei Hong Novel app to subscribe to her novels and support her.
She had never read Xu Ying's novels before. Looking at the row of novel titles in the works section, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to start with the new works.
After a period of updates, the protagonist's career in "Starting with a Bowl" is now gradually improving.
Watching the male protagonist go to war, win battles, and recruit talented people, Jie Jia was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. She didn't know why, but even though he was a character in a novel, she felt as if she herself had achieved something great.
Xu Ying wrote it really well.
"Why doesn't the marshal become a king?" someone suggested.
Zhu Yuanzhang was tempted.
Although he is now nominally the Left Deputy Marshal of the army, ranking below the Grand Marshal, in reality, he has always been brave and resourceful, with many capable subordinates, and he is considerate of his soldiers and deeply popular with the people. He has long been the de facto leader of the army.
"Absolutely not!"
His advisor, Zhu Sheng, strongly opposed it.
"Throughout history, countless people have been eager to become kings and conquerors. This land has seen countless sage kings and fierce generals. What is needed now to rise to power is to bide one's time, accumulate strength, and the later one declares oneself king, the better..."
"If Your Majesty trusts me, I have nine words to offer: Build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood.
......
This chapter gave Jie Jia goosebumps, impressed by the wisdom of the characters and the authentic, fluid storytelling.
"He truly is a strategist; his words are always insightful," Jie Jia exclaimed.
At the same time, she felt a surge of admiration for Xu Ying. Even if she were given decades more, she wouldn't be able to write a story like this. Indeed, some people are born to do this.
This latest chapter not only shocked Jie Jia, but also generated a very enthusiastic response among readers.
-Build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king—these nine words of wisdom are truly inspiring!
I seriously doubt that the author actually rebelled, otherwise he couldn't have written something so realistic [doge emoji].
- The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If the protagonist were to jump out and declare himself king at this point, Little Ming King would be the first to not let him off the hook, and the other rebel armies would certainly be wary of him as well. The strategist's advice that the protagonist should not declare himself king was indeed the right choice.
-Sir, you are a man of great talent!
-This is really well written.
I really want to know if the male lead succeeded in the end. I really want to know the ending. Can you give me some spoilers?!
......
Spoilers are out of the question. Even when Fuyou messaged Xu Ying asking if the male lead would eventually unify the country and become emperor, she didn't say it directly.
"you guess."
"I think so," after all, Er Yuetian's novels are quite enjoyable to read.
But it's hard to say.
Her novels always have unexpected plot twists, but upon closer examination, they seem quite reasonable. When we were watching the TV series "Wu Zetian," everyone thought that the female lead's life would end when she became empress, but who knew she could go even further and become emperor directly.
It's hard to say, really hard to say.
"Fine, I won't ask you anymore, I'll look at it myself!"
Xu Ying smiled and put down her phone. Seeing the enthusiastic response to the latest chapter, she quickly picked up her words again.
Zhu Yuanzhang heeded his advisors' advice and abandoned his ambition to become king.
So next, he began to focus on conquering territory. He first captured Jiqing and established Yingtian Prefecture. Then he successively conquered various places in eastern Zhejiang. With territory and having completed the "building of high walls", he began to prepare for "stockpiling grain".
In the phrase "accumulate grain," the male protagonist implemented the military-agricultural system, developing military-agricultural farming, while also ordering people to build water conservancy projects and reclaim wasteland in various places.
......
This is a rare period of peaceful development for the protagonist.
Xu Ying estimated that it would take at least a dozen chapters to clearly describe these plot points, but she wasn't in a hurry. She had plenty of time and could write them slowly.

Li Tingyu played the female lead role in "Legend of the Qing Dynasty". Although the TV series has not finished airing yet, it is already a certainty that she will become a big star.
However, just as the drama was airing, a screenshot suddenly surfaced online, showing her ex-boyfriend's accusations against her.
This person, who claims to be Li Tingyu's ex-boyfriend, posted many long essays on his private account, accusing Li Tingyu of being greedy for money and abandoning him after starting a relationship.
This is a private account that has been set to privacy. I don't know who had the ability to take screenshots of the account's content and release them, but the result is that the screenshots are now trending on social media and have come to the public's attention.
Li Tingyu was stunned when he saw the trending topic.
What ex-boyfriend? She's only ever had one boyfriend in her life. He went abroad to study and they broke up peacefully. How come he's suddenly popping up again to accuse her of starting a relationship and then abandoning the girl, and of being greedy for money?
She was somewhat angry, and in front of her agent, she started looking through her ex-boyfriend's phone. After a barrage of questions, he was completely bewildered.
"I'm studying abroad, why would I accuse you?"
My ex-boyfriend clicked on the "Big Eyes" app, and the screenshots and short essays on it came up easily when I searched for them.
Those little essays portrayed him as incredibly humble and pitiful, and reading them made his teeth ache; these were not words a normal person could utter.
"Is this guy out of his mind?" The ex-boyfriend was speechless. But as he read on, he noticed something was off. "In this story, you start a relationship and then abandon me. It seems like I'm the rich guy you found after you started a relationship and then abandoned me. How come you dated someone before me?"
"Of course not!"
Li Tingyu's agent realized what was happening and, after confirming repeatedly that Li Tingyu had not dated anyone else, he was almost certain that someone was deliberately fabricating a story to smear Li Tingyu.
What he couldn't understand was, what was the point of creating such a fake story that could be exposed so easily? They would simply clarify the rumors and they would instantly fall apart.
The matter has caused quite a stir, and everyone is now waiting for Li Tingyu's response.
Li Tingyu's agent didn't hesitate. After reaching an agreement with Li Tingyu's ex-boyfriend, he had the public relations team contact the owner of the private account.
Believe it or not, this person is actually related to Li Tingyu; he was Li Tingyu's high school classmate.
However, Li Tingyu was completely unfamiliar with him, and the content posted on his account was entirely his own fantasy, such as Li Tingyu deliberately walking past him just to attract his attention.
"I have no idea what he's talking about."
She has no recollection of walking past him. Even if she did, the classroom is such a small place, it would be perfectly normal for her to walk past anywhere.
Li Tingyu and his agent exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other.
Although it was frustrating, knowing who the account owner was made things easier, so the agent didn't waste any more time and immediately had a stern clarification statement released.
At the same time, he also issued a lawyer's letter warning to the person who initially posted the screenshot.
Li Tingyu's swift response brought this absurd situation to a quick end, leaving the troll leader and Zhang Sandao, who were celebrating their victory in the background, completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Sandao spoke in a sinister tone: "Didn't you say he was Li Tingyu's ex-boyfriend?"
The online troll leader complained, "The content on his account clearly shows he's her boyfriend..." Who would have thought that the two had no relationship at all, yet this person dared to shamelessly accuse the other party like this.
They're really useless.
"You can forget about getting this money."
The online army leader was naturally unhappy: "That won't do, you can't skimp on the money you're owed!"
