Chi Yan is going to be the temporary director of "Meeting the Dragon Night"?
Did the Blood Clan also buy this hotel? Didn't they also buy him a private island before?
I didn't know which one to be surprised first.
Wen Xingze sat there blankly, picking up a piece of lettuce with a fork.
Crunch.
Zhu Bo: "Everyone may be surprised why Chi Yan came to Yu Long Ye as a temporary director? But this is the fact. I am also very surprised. Feel free to discuss with me in the comments section."
Xu Qianqian: "Zhu Bo, you're a lot like one of those Jinjiang novel authors who likes to rehash old tropes, you know?"
Zhu Bo: "..."
Wen Xingze: “…”
Then Xu Qianqian patted Wen Xingze's shoulder in understanding: "Xiao Wen, I understand how you feel."
It's not just talk that everyone in the circle is a fan of Chi Yan. At least 70% of the people in this restaurant can produce ticket stubs for every movie that Chi Yan has seen.
In the original novel, Chi Yan did not serve as the director of "Meeting the Dragon Night". It is better to say that Chi Yan has never participated in the production or filming of the TV series. Although "Meeting the Dragon Night" is one of the most large-scale productions in the drama, it is still not as good as those IPs that Chi Yan starred in or directed.
If you really want to explain it, there are clues. Chi Yan and Zheng Xiao knew each other, Chi Yan was interested in becoming a director, and Yu Longye was pressed for time and the filming schedule had changed, so he needed a temporary director to save the day... It made sense.
No wonder Chi Yan has been in the film and television city these two days. Is he here to discuss this matter?
Wen Xingze asked, "When will Teacher Chi join the group?"
Xu Qianqian: "A week later, that's when you'll have the most scenes."
Wen Xingze: “…” He seriously suspected that Teacher Chi was here to invigilate the exam!
"Let's find a place to read the script this afternoon," Zhu Bo suggested. "Starting tomorrow, we'll be the three of us in the main rivalry."
The main plot of "Encountering the Dragon Night" is Yan Xun, Ling Yao, and Heng Zhi's adventure, except that Heng Zhi is the boss with a hidden identity. Wen Xingze knew that Zhu Bo's suggestion was to guide him, and he was quite touched.
Lunch is coming to an end.
Xu Qianqian: "Come to think of it, this restaurant is so quiet."
It was the weekend, and the hotel's sky restaurant was very famous, so many people must have wanted to check it out.
When Wen Xingze first arrived, the table was almost full, but now there was only their table left. A pianist in a tuxedo was sitting in front of the floor-standing grand piano in the middle, playing.
This kind of sky restaurant is really suitable for visiting when there are fewer people. It is completely transparent on all sides, the sky is blue, and there are buildings scattered under your feet. It really feels like you are floating in the sky.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the foreman who was waiting on the side hurried over.
Three waiters carried trays with hot towels and lemon water for rinsing. When Wen Xingze stood up, one of the waiters bent over to wipe his hands, brushed off the nonexistent dust on his shoulders with a soft-bristled brush, and then slightly straightened his clothes.
“…”
Beside Wen Xingze, where no one else could see, the little boy stared at the waiter with fierce eyes and slowly took out his sewing doll.
Wen Xingze: “???”
Wen Xingze quickly signaled to Lan Yanshen, telling him that this was a service provided by the hotel and that was not what he meant.
Lan then reluctantly put the doll back.
Wen Xingze was also treated like this in Manli and had been forced to get used to it. Instead, Zhu Bo and Xu Qianqian stared at him in surprise.
Zhu Bo: "Has the service here been this attentive before? It's like the wealthy young masters in TV dramas."
Wen Xingze: "Ahem."
Xu Qianqian took out her cell phone: "Let me pay, WeChat or Alipay?" It was Wen Xingze and Zhu Bo who paid for her to go out for Cantonese food last night.
The foreman shook his head: "No need to pay."
Xu Qianqian: "? Why?"
The foreman glanced at Wen Xingze and hesitated to speak: "Because the young master——"
Wen Xingze stood behind Xu Qianqian and Zhu Bo, shaking his head hard at the foreman.
Lan floated beside Wen Xingze, watching him with great interest. When there were no other threats, being able to watch the king closely and attentively was a pleasure for any vampire.
The foreman understood: "Sorry, the master doesn't allow me to say it."
Wen Xingze: “…”
Xu Qianqian: “???”
Xu Qianqian confirmed again and again that there was really no need to pay.
But after all, they are celebrities, and it is not uncommon for passers-by fans to help with the bill, so Xu Qianqian and Zhu Bo didn't think much about it.
But soon, something even more surprising happened to them.
The foreman followed them closely, about two meters behind them. He was at a distance that would not disturb the three people's conversation, but could be summoned at any time.
Zhu Bo: "Let's find a place to read the script."
"Okay, is there a place that's quieter and a little bigger?" Wen Xingze said casually, "My room is fine, but it's a little small."
The foreman next to him picked up the walkie-talkie.
Wen Xingze suddenly had a bad feeling. He vaguely heard the foreman say, "...Is that conference room being used by the board of directors? Make it available... within five minutes, yes..."
Wen Xingze: "Wait—"
However, it was too late. The foreman only spoke for a few seconds before hanging up the phone. He walked towards them and said, "The top floor conference room is vacant. I'll show you the way."
At this point, Wen Xingze could only follow Zhu Bo and Xu Qianqian into the exclusive elevator and quickly reach the top floor.
Zhu Bo and Xu Qianqian were confused throughout the whole process.
Today happens to be the mid-year shareholders' meeting, and the entire board of directors is present.
When Wen Xingze and his companions arrived, a dozen middle-aged men in suits and ties with big bellies were hurried out of the conference room. Many of them were bald and were chatting in low voices with their secretaries.
The moment the elevator door opened, they all fell silent at the same time. The shareholder who was holding a cigar hurriedly put it out and cleared his throat.
Then, led by the chairman, all shareholders bowed in the direction of Wen Xingze in silent greeting.
Wen Xingze: “…”
Wen Xingze covered his eyes with his hands.
Zhu Bo: “???”
Xu Qianqian: “???????”
Only Lan was satisfied with the shareholders' sense of proportion, muttering, "That's about right."
They walked into the meeting room confused.
Although a regular meeting had been in progress five minutes ago, there was no trace of it in the conference room at this moment.
The curtains were drawn to both sides, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire film and television city, with the hotel's huge gilded floral sign opposite.
A well-trained waiter collected and replaced the old teacups and folders, another waiter replaced the aromatherapy and records in the record player with new ones, and a person who looked like a secretary in a pencil skirt was operating the central computer and replacing the projected mid-year financial report with the Yu Long Ye script.
After finishing everything, the secretary said hello to them and walked away in small steps.
Finally, the foreman came in pushing the food cart.
"I don't know the young master's... no, your tastes. For black tea, do you prefer Darjeeling or Earl Grey?" The foreman brought the ceramic tea set inlaid with gold edges and placed the teacups, teaspoons, sugar pots, and dessert plates one by one.
Zhu Bo and Xu Qianqian's brains froze.
And Wen Xingze said: "Actually, I like Coke."
The foreman paused.
Wen Xingze quickly said: "But black tea is also——"
Unexpectedly, the foreman bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Then the foreman walked out, and suddenly there was a flurry of footsteps and strange ping-pong sounds outside.
In less than half a minute, the foreman came back again, pushing a four-layer food cart, which was filled with cola, Sprite, potato chips, Cheetos, popcorn and chocolate from bottom to top.
Wearing pure white gloves, he poured Coke into the porcelain cup in the same way as pouring tea with great practice.
Then the supervisor opened the packaging bag and placed the potato chips neatly on the snack plate. The second layer was popcorn, and the third layer was Oreos and chocolate.
"please."
Wen Xingze: “…”
Eating potato chips like this has no soul!
Xu Qianqian and Zhu Bo's brains finally started working again. They looked at Wen Xingze with shocked eyes.
Xu Qianqian: "Xiao Wen——"
Zhu Bo: "Xiao Wen——"
Wen Xingze said he could explain.
Xu Qianqian: "--Are you really the domineering young master of a gang?" She thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Where is your expensive little runaway wife?"
Zhu Bo: "--Are you really the vampire duke who's disguised as a human?" He thought for a moment and continued, "Where is your contracted sacrifice, sweetheart?"
Wen Xingze: “???”
What kind of books do Xu Qianqian and Zhu Bo usually read?
Lan sat on the long table with his legs crossed, snorted, and said complacently: "Short-sighted humans, these servants can't take even a thousandth of the care I give to Your Majesty."
Wen Xingze thought, no way, as a prince of the blood clan, you even have to fight with them for this... But it is indeed true.
"Xiao Wen, can I post something on Weibo? This is my first time reading a script in a place like this." Xu Qianqian asked him, "Of course, I won't leak any information."
Wen Xingze certainly had no objection.
Unlike Wen Xingze and Zhu Bo, Xu Qianqian was very good at taking selfies. She took a selfie with the two of them, and also took pictures of the food cart filled with potato chips and Oreos, and the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window. She casually edited the text and posted it on Weibo.
Unlike Wen Xingze, Zhu Bo and Xu Qianqian
You have more control over your own Weibo account, and you can post some daily Weibo posts directly without asking your agent.
Xu Qianqian's tens of millions of fans are not a lie. As soon as she posted it, she quickly received a lot of comments:
[The Yulongye trio!!! All three of them are so cute hahahahaha]
[Tell me quickly, is Aze the vampire guy from last night? Yes, it's definitely him, right? Yu Longye also happened to be at that film and television studio? And his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same, so beautiful, awsl]
【The three chefs are ecstatic! 】
This conference room feels unusually luxurious. When did the Yu Long Ye crew become so wealthy?
Xu Qianqian and Zhu Bo were already very popular, and with the sensational incident last night, the number of likes and comments on this Weibo post exceeded the popularity of Xu Qianqian's previous Weibo posts.
Wen Xingze didn't know it at the time, but it was this Weibo post that later became the key for designer Dong Heya to find him. Dong Heya's secretary matched the photo with the video and finally contacted Jiang Ye.
This brought Wen Xingze his first serious endorsement in his life.
Before this, he had only endorsed popsicles that cost 50 cents each at the convenience store...
…
The news that the public beta version of "Baby Development Plan" is about to be launched has shocked the entire universe.
Countless Muse citizens cried with joy.
Finally, they finally got the public beta!
You know, originally there were only 1,000 spots available for the closed beta test, and the number of spots available for the live broadcast channel was also pitifully small. Since the game went online, many people haven't even been able to see the moving cubs in person, and can only repeatedly collect screenshots on the forums...
Moreover, these resources are extremely tilted towards the capital planet. On some more remote satellite planets, or even on the entire planet, no one gets a place in the internal test.
There are tribes like the vampires, whose entire clan happens to be hibernating, and tribes like the mermaids. Because the mermaids mostly live in the deep sea where the signal is not very good, when the internal test reservation channel was opened, only the tribe leader didn't know that Xia got the quota by relying on internal connections.
Of course, they will not repeat the mistakes they made before in this public beta.
At nine o'clock in the morning, in the center of the capital Star City.
Countless hovercraft, trailing colorful taillights, sailed over the busiest stretch of the city center. As the traffic dispersed, a massive advertisement projected on a large screen on a building behind them was revealed:
"Want to own your own king in the terminal? Want to experience the joy of raising a cub in real time? The public beta version of the "Cub Raising Plan" series, which will be released in my lifetime, is finally online. New features such as space express delivery, seasonal limited events, and a cub exchange diary are waiting for you to unlock! 10,000 reservations are available for a limited time -"
The images in this advertisement were not post-processed in any way. They were simply clips from previous games, all of which were of Wen Xingze.
For example, the cub with pale blue eyes under the mermaid's blessing buff, the cub wearing a snow-white Taoist robe and holding a lantern, the battle-damaged handsome boy after turning on the dragon filter, and the cub with small blood teeth under the vampire filter last night...
Although these images were simply edited together, for the people of Muse, the publicity effect was far better than any carefully produced commercial.
Many passersby stopped to look at the virtual images projected on the big screen, and occasionally someone would try to suppress their excitement and discuss:
"Ahhhhhh! So cute!!!"
"When will the king open the filter for our clan? The Dragon Clan and the Blood Clan are so jealous of me. Moreover, the Blood Clan even sent the Soul Box over. Our clan leader was almost mad last night."
"Have you heard? New features in the public beta!"
"It is said that after Zizi completes all the main tasks, there will be an unexpected big prize."
“…”
In fact, there are far more people than just the citizens of the Muse Empire waiting for the public beta version of "Cub Development Plan" to be launched.
On the other side of the universe, the Utopian Empire.
This vast country owns three star systems and sixty-eight subordinate stars. It is the only empire in the universe that has enough military power to compete with Muse.
However, compared to the bustling and prosperous Muse Empire, this is an overly cold and monotonous country, and the difference between the two countries' capital stars is extremely obvious.
The utopian capital is a forest of steel and concrete. All levitation devices are controlled by the central AI hub, moving mechanically and precisely over the city like a cursor.
Capital Star, Star Port.
At this hour, the Starport was packed with people, yet only the gentle system announcements could be heard. Only close friends would whisper a few words.
"You're going back to the Capital Star today, right? That game Muse released seems to be releasing a public beta soon. I'm actually quite looking forward to it..."
"Hush! You forget, we never know when the war will break out in the future."
Unlike the free-spirited Muses, in Utopia, the monarch's orders represent absolute authority and absolute correctness. Of course, this is indeed the case; without the monarch, Utopia would not have its current cosmic status.
In the Muse Empire, everyone loves the king unconditionally, but the people of Utopia treat their monarch with more respect mixed with fear.
Moreover, the monarch's attitude towards the Muse Empire is difficult to understand.
He had no intention of starting a war, but he also didn't seem to be seeking friendship. Even the Universal Alliance couldn't fathom his intentions. There was once a ridiculous rumor that the monarch had gifted a wedding ring to a noble from a neighboring kingdom, but the source was unknown and likely just a rumor.
The revolving door at the Star Port exit suddenly opened to both sides. The staff in the passage bowed one after another, and all the passengers retreated to the sides in silence.
In just two seconds, the entire space was completely silent.
The monarch, dressed in a standard military uniform and a black eye mask covering his eyes, strolled towards the crowd. He walked indifferently through the countless people bowing and saluting. The silver buttons, meticulously buttoned to his Adam's apple, reflected the cold light. The secretary followed closely behind him.
The condescending aura is natural.
In fact, contrary to the people's speculation that the two countries were in a hostile relationship, the communication in the monarch's earphones was connected to the blood clan of the Muse Empire.
"I'm really curious," Lilith had no patience for anyone other than Wen Xingze, "How do you manage to travel between parallel universes, Lord of Utopia?"
The monarch had no expression on his face and showed no intention of answering.
"Then let me ask it another way. It was you, Mr. Chi, who erased the mark of the vampires, right?" Lilith sneered. This was one of the things that the vampires hated the most.
Their king is not in this universe, and that mark is the most direct way for them to maintain contact with His Majesty. Once they cannot contact the king at all times, even for just one second, they will be very anxious!
Of course, Wang himself didn't know this.
Looking throughout the universe, there are only a handful of people who can do this and have the motivation to do it.
The monarch paused.
Lilith gritted her teeth. "The vampire's mark will not harm the king's body or soul. Besides, it seems this has nothing to do with you. What is your position and why are you interfering?"
The man's voice was cold as he finally spoke: "An eyesore."
Lilith and the other princes who were listening: “…………”
For them, his existence is the most annoying thing, okay!
What kind of enchanting concubine is this, who relies on favor to influence others and blows the pillow!
Fortunately, even though Chi Yan is going to be the director of "Meeting the Dragon Night" next, the soul box of the vampires has already been sent over.
"We never intended to give His Majesty to anyone else," the red-haired Os snatched the microphone from Lilith's hand and said fiercely, "We'll see."
The man stopped talking.
Just when the princes thought the call had been disconnected, a voice finally came again, with only four words:
"Just you guys?"
The tone was sarcastic.
“…”
“…”
On this day, the Cosmic Alliance detected unusually violent energy fluctuations above the Blood Clan's main star, exceeding the peak value in the past ten years.
One of the most powerful things about this monarch of Utopia is that he can max out all the hatred values with just one sentence.
...The vampire parents were furious.
A week later, the "Baby Cultivation System" released its latest mission:
【Main Mission】
Mission description: The filming of "Meeting the Dragon Night" has entered the most critical stage. Help Zaizai overcome all difficulties and successfully complete the filming of his first major drama!
Mission progress: Completed the filming of "Meeting the Dragon Night" (0/1)
Mission rewards: skill point*1, lottery ticket*1,
“…”
What is most eye-catching is that this public beta system has introduced a new rule:
"Since competition among parents is fierce, to prevent any negative impact, we will use limited-time PK missions to determine who has the right to plan their child's development path, who has priority in communicating with their child, etc."
"The PK mission has limited participants. Participants who are not selected please wait for the next opportunity~ The first PK mission has been released!"
【PK Mission】
Mission Description: Love needs to be expressed loudly! Regardless of the method, the first parent to get their child to sincerely say, "I love you so much" wins! The time limit is one week. If you exceed the time limit, everyone will fail the mission.
Note: Do not let the children know about the existence of the PK task in any way, otherwise the participants will lose their qualification on the spot.
Mission Participants: Chi Yan vs. Blood Clan vs. Dragon Clan
Mission rewards: 1. The child will receive 2 prop cards of any unlimited time. 2. Please stay tuned for the rewards for parents.
…
The entire universe is boiling!
