Chapter 1019 Birthday Banquet

In the island country, artists are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Of course, those at the bottom are idols who "have no ability and can only sell their characters", while those at the top are usually TV stars.

Relatively speaking, island countries value TV more than movies. Therefore, compared to those stars in China who become popular in TV dramas and then directly move to the big screen with a "higher style", they feel that returning to TV dramas is a step down. Island countries Stars in the country pay more attention to the TV drama market, so almost all the first-line stars in the island country mainly make TV dramas, supplemented by movies.

There are many reasons for this, the most noteworthy of which is that the video rental shops in the island country are still doing a booming business, unlike the video rental shops in China which have long since disappeared.

When Liu Xing was still using the character card of "Watanabe Ryusei", he once wanted to listen to music online like he did in China. As a result, Liu Xing discovered that "Watanabe Ryusei" did not have music listening software on his mobile phone. Then after asking Kogawa Kofu, I found out that most islanders who want to listen to music buy or rent CDs to listen to.

This makes Liu Xing not sure whether he should say whether the islanders like to be nostalgic, or whether they are stuck in their ways.

After sighing, Liu Xing went around the neighborhood and soon discovered many video rental shops. Moreover, the video rental shops in the island country looked much more high-end and classy than the ones in China back then. After all, they were back then. Huaxia's disc rental stores are just ordinary iron shelves with packaging boxes of various discs.

Of course, what concerned Liu Xing the most was the area covered by the curtain. Unfortunately, Ryusei Watanabe was still a high school student.

Back to the topic, it is precisely because the business of video rental stores is still very good in the island country that the first-line stars in the island country are willing to film TV series, because the main actors in the TV series can get a generous share, and these shares Including the income from the video rental store, so as long as a good TV series with high ratings is filmed, the actors of this TV series will have an extra income that is guaranteed to make no loss.

Of course, TV dramas definitely have a larger audience than movies, so starring in TV dramas can increase your presence in front of the audience, and your followers will increase faster. . . As for the little fresh meat and little flowers that have appeared in China in recent years, they have found a shortcut to gain a sense of presence-if their works are not enough, they can only make up for it through hype.

The protagonist of today's birthday party, Nohara Masahiro, is one of the biggest stars in the island country today. He has played the main role in many classic TV series, so it is said that even if he does not do anything now, he can rely on those Live a luxurious life with a share of the income from the TV series.

I have to say that the island country’s copyright protection is really good.

"Masahiro Nohara is also the number one figure. At the beginning, he was just an ordinary comedian, and his status was just one level higher than those young idols. However, he was very good at flattering others, so he was quickly promoted by a big-name senior. I became a host, and then met a group of actors and directors while working as a host, and successfully entered the film and television drama industry." Alice looked at the old man on the stage and said, "But the most important thing is, Nohara Masaru Hong knows that his foundation in the industry is actually unstable and that no one behind him will really support him, so he tries his best to make friends with everyone around him, even if it is just an intern at a TV station, so his popularity is very good now. "

Having said this, Alice paused and then said: "I heard a rumor, that is, the Deep Diving Society plans to cooperate with Nohara Masahiro and use Nohara Masahiro's reputation in the island country to open up the situation. To put it bluntly, it means that Nohara Zheng Hong will film a TV series related to the Diving Club to make the Diving Club famous in the island country, so that it will be much more convenient for the Diving Club to enter the island country in the future."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a bit interesting. Nohara Masahiro should choose to refuse, because the relationship between the island country and the space country is not good now. He, a star of the island country, wants to accept the endorsement of the space country. It’s easy to be scolded, not to mention the secret churches in the island country who probably won’t let Nohara Masahiro cooperate with the Deep Diving Society.”

"That's true, but Liu Xing, don't forget about the Deep Sea Gospel Society."

Alice sighed and continued: "The reason why the Deep Diving Society merged with the Deep Sea Gospel Society in the first place was probably because they had anticipated this day. So, to put it bluntly, the Deep Sea Society planned to use the shell of the Deep Sea Gospel Society to The island country is listed on the market, and the Deep Diving Society should now want to take advantage of the civil war and the major families and secret churches in the island country to take care of themselves. Therefore, during this period, they have been in contact with many big stars in the island country, hoping to make them their own. Spokesperson, and besides Nohara Masahiro, several big stars have already agreed to the invitation to the deep dive club."

"What the hell is this?" Li Hanxing said in surprise: "How could a deep dive master come up with such a weird operation?"

Alice shrugged and said with a wry smile: "How can this be said to be a strange operation? You must know that many secret churches around the world have performed this operation, using big-name celebrities as spokespersons to attract their fans to join them. This is actually It can also be regarded as a herd effect - as long as the leader is taken care of, the remaining sheep will follow the leader honestly."

Liu Xing nodded, frowned and said: "If this happens, the island country will be in trouble again. Although today's TV stations have been impacted by the Internet platform, resulting in a serious decline in ratings compared to the past, but it is relatively Compared with other countries, the TV station situation in the island country is relatively good. The ratings of popular dramas can still be maintained at around 10% to 20%, although compared with the 34% in the past, There’s a huge gap in the ratings for Ten, but this is at least entertaining.”

"But the most important thing is that the DVD rental industry in the island country is still prosperous, coupled with the spread of online platforms, so as long as the quality of these TV series is acceptable, they can still have a lot of viewers. By then, only 10% of these viewers will Once you are fooled by deep diving, that is also a very scary number, and I have heard of one thing before, that is, some secret churches add some special spices to the discs. These spices are in the discs. The film starts to spin and then evaporates, giving the viewer an immersive experience.”

According to the memory of "Watanabe Ryusei", the Yellow Clothes Sect also performed similar operations back then. That is, when Masao Watanabe held certain ceremonies or "lectures", he would specifically choose a relatively closed space, and then Lighting a few candles with "high-grade spices" added can make the participants' attention more "focused", so Watanabe Masao's "performance" will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"I have also heard of such operations, so I am very worried that the deep dive will really follow this set of procedures and then officially announce its entry into the island country. However, I feel that the secret churches in the island country will not sit idly by. After all, the deep dive The potential is here to steal business." Alice said as she took a sip of red wine.

At this moment, Nohara Masahiro on the stage had finished recalling his past and began to toast to everyone present, and everyone present also stood up and paid tribute to Nohara Masahiro.

Just when everyone in the banquet hall stood up, Liu Xing suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in the front row.

Great Lake Hayato!

Why is he here?

Liu Xing did not expect that he would be able to see Hayato Oko in Nagoya, and it seemed that he was also a distinguished guest of Nohara Masahiro and could sit in the front row.

Is he here on behalf of the Shadow Society?

Although when he was in Kyoto, Hayato Dako did not express his position or the forces behind him, but at the last moment of clearing the level, Liu Xing still saw a tattoo of the Shadow Society's logo on Hayato Dako's neck.

However, Liu Xing does not think that Hayato Dahu is 100% a member of the Shadow Society.

The reason is very simple. When Liu Xing controlled the character card "Watanabe Ryusei", he arranged for people to investigate the Shadow Society. It turned out that although the Shadow Society expanded its "new business", his set of signs did not follow the rules. Different businesses are distinguished, so the possibility of Hayato Dahu being an undercover agent cannot be ruled out.

What's more, Hayato Daiko's logo tattoo is still in a relatively obvious place. If he was undercover, it would be easy for someone to spot it at a glance.

Therefore, Liu Xing does not know whether Dahu Hayato is an enemy or a friend for the time being.

However, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Now that he is on the territory of the public faction, Liu Xing can only cautiously label Dahu Hayato as a member of the Shadow Society, believing that Dahu Hayato may be attending the banquet as a monitor of the public faction. , because members of other public factions have been cleared out.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing took out his hand and whispered what he saw to Alice. Alice immediately sent a message to Zhang Jingxu with understanding, because Hayato Dahu had a relationship with Zhang Jingxu.

After receiving the text message, Liu Xing saw Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing changing positions to ensure that they were in the blind spot of Dahu Hayato's field of vision.

But at this moment, Zhang Jingxu replied a text message to Alice, and Alice frowned and said after reading it: "Zhang Jingxu said that he saw Zhang Shiwu just appeared in the banquet hall, and he was dressed as a waiter. "

Zhang Shiwu is here too?

Liu Xing immediately looked around.

Because Nohara Masahiro had already announced that the banquet had officially begun, many waiters began to provide services to the guests present, so Liu Xing did not see Zhang Shiwu for a while.

This is very interesting.

Liu Xing didn’t think Zhang Shiwu was here for a work-study program.

So why did Zhang Shiwu come?

Liu Xing felt that this birthday banquet was really undercurrent, attracting not only members of the public and military factions, but even people from the masonry group.

"It seems that we have to be more careful later. Although we and Zhang Jingxu have disguised themselves to a certain extent, Zhang Shiwu may still recognize us; although we don't know that Zhang Jingxu is recognizing us. What will happen next, but I don’t think it will be a good thing.”

As Alice spoke, she took out a pair of glasses from her handbag and put them on Liu Xing, "These glasses are also a kind of magic prop, which can slightly modify the appearance around the wearer's eyes, so Liu Xing, you can wear them It’s better than nothing.”

Liu Xing nodded, because after putting on these glasses, Liu Xing did feel a strange feeling around his eyes. If Alice didn't say anything, he would have taken them off.

Because this birthday banquet was in the form of a buffet, Liu Xing and others saw that the scene had become lively and started to act separately. Among them, Liu Xing went to meet Zhang Jingxu and others, while Li Hanxing approached Momota Shengren to get close. As for Ai Li Si and Sun Huiwen went to keep an eye on Dahu Hayato and the still-unseen Zhang Shiwu one-on-one to ensure that they could not see Liu Xing, Zhang Jingxu and others talking.

After picking up a glass of champagne, Liu Xing walked to Zhang Jingxu and others.

"Come this way."

After Yin En finished speaking in a low voice, he led Liu Xing and others to a corner of the banquet hall, where there was a small flower bed that could block the view of others.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time. After opening the secret room time, Zhang Jingxu patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said: "If something hadn’t happened to you, we would have been reminded by kp. We might have thought that you had GAMEOVER, but we didn’t expect that you were alone. They are doing better than us."

Liu Xing shrugged and said with a smile: "Who said I am lucky? But we will talk about these gossips later. Let's get to the point now."

Liu Xing first described his experience in Kagoshima in detail, especially about the world of poetry and poetry and the strange assassin.

"It's a bit interesting. The world of poetry and songs was probably a special module, but later it may have been abandoned by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall for some reason, because it is like the Peach Blossom Spring and Dream The modules are the same, although they are still very interesting, they cannot be linked with other modules, which makes them far different from other modules in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall and out of place." Zhang Jingxu said.

Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said seriously: "Although the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will arrange various seemingly unrelated modules for players, as long as you have experienced enough modules, you will not be interested in certain modules. If you dig deeper, you will find that the modules you experience are actually related, so the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will only release some special modules during special holidays."

"But when it comes to that assassin, he is indeed a bit strange, and it seems that Shimazu Takeshi was assassinated that day and it was probably related to him. Unfortunately, we still know too little about this assassin, or simply nothing. I know; but the biggest question now is why the assassin came to trouble you, Liu Xing, and it seems that he didn’t want to kill you, otherwise Liu Xing, you wouldn’t be standing here.”

For some reasons, some code names had to be changed. . .
