Chapter 745 Extra: So You Really Are the One Who Practices the Way of Forgetting!
In the studio, a group of people in the crew were busy.
They were filming a TV series. After the director Du Chonglin shouted "Cut", the actors stopped their actions.
Du Chonglin turned his head and looked at Xu Ye on the side: "Xu Ye, how about the last one?"
"Very good, pass it." Xu Ye smiled.
After hearing Xu Ye's answer, the actors on the scene also showed joy.
The screenwriter of the TV series they were acting in was Xu Ye, but Xu Ye was no longer involved in the directing work. The main work was done by Du Chonglin.
Occasionally, Xu Ye would come to the crew for a visit. It was also an encouragement for these actors to get Xu Ye's recognition.
Du Chonglin said to everyone that he was done, and turned to Xu Ye and said: "Will you have dinner together later?"
Xu Ye stood up from the chair and said apologetically: "No, my friend has a birthday tonight."
Du Chonglin said "Oh" and asked curiously: "Whose birthday is it?"
"The fan in my house has been fanning me for so long, and it's my turn to fan it today. "Xu Ye said.
Du Chonglin's expression suddenly froze.
Go celebrate your fan's birthday!
I shouldn't have asked this question!
When Xu Ye got on the nanny car and was on his way home, his cell phone rang.
It was Xiao Xu who called.
As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Xu's voice came out.
"Old Xu, you are going to be a father."
"Who will be my son?" Xu Ye asked.
Xiao Xu said unhappily: "I'm pregnant!"
They have been married for two months, and neither Xu Ye nor Xiao Xu has been idle in these two months.
With the hard work of the two, it can be said that the fruit has been borne.
"Ah? Pregnant! "
After learning the news, Xu Ye, who is always calm, was also a little excited.
The feeling of being called dad by others and being a real dad is definitely completely different.
After returning home, Xu Ye told Shen Xinning and Xu Baifeng about this matter, and he also had to plan the follow-up.
Since Xiao Xu is already pregnant, many things in the entertainment industry must stop.
For many stars, fading out of the entertainment industry is a very scary thing.
After all, in the entertainment industry, the replacement of stars is too fast. If you don't show up for a month, you will basically be forgotten by everyone.
The resources you previously mastered will also be taken away by other stars.
But this thing is for traffic stars, Xiao Xu doesn't care at all.
As for Xu Ye, he will also stop the work at hand during this period.
The studio is on the right track, and the projects that should be promoted can also be steadily promoted.
This is what they thought of when they just got married.
On the sofa in the living room, Xiao Xu leaned her head on Xu Ye's shoulder and asked softly: "Have you thought about it?"
"I have thought about it. "Xu Ye said.
After finishing speaking, he sent out a Weibo post that he had edited.
The Weibo post contained a picture, and the title at the top was "Notice of Closure".
The content inside was that Xu Ye announced the news of Xiao Xu's pregnancy, and that they were both going to close the business, starting from a year.
The style of the whole picture was the same as the notices of closure posted on the doors of some shops outside, with the main colors being red and white, as vulgar as it could be.
But netizens have gotten used to it.
Everything Xu Ye posted was not normal!
After seeing this notice of closure, the patients of Huohua Hospital congratulated him in the comment area.
"Congratulations to Xu Rusheng, it's a pity that he probably won't have the chance to watch the movie starring the dean recently."
"Congratulations, you two remember to find a normal person to take care of the child, dean, stay away from the child."
"You two are so cool, you just said you would close the business, what would we do if you closed the business! ”
Most netizens are sending their blessings.
Xu and Xu Rusheng are already a model couple in the entertainment industry.
The only pity is that the two of them have closed down.
Although we can still see the series of works of the five-year plan later, without Xu Ye's participation, it always feels like something is missing.
Other stars in the entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news.
"That's great, at least we don't have to worry about it in the future!"
"Our time has come!"
"It's better to close down. If you don't close down, we will be unemployed!"
The topic of Xiao Xu's pregnancy and the topic of Xu Ye's closing down were both on the hot search.
The next day, Xu Ye arranged the company's affairs and returned home.
He was ready to take care of the pregnant woman.
However, if he did nothing but take care of the pregnant woman at home, he would still have some free time.
What's more, Shen Xinning also planned to come to Ancheng to help take care of Xiao Xu later.
"I have to find something to do. "
Xu Ye finally set his sights on the system warehouse.
He had won several novel exchange coupons in the lottery before.
Since he had to stay at home now, he couldn't shoot TV dramas, so writing novels was more appropriate.
He had only written one book, "Ghost Blowing Lights", and he hadn't written a new book for several years. It was just right for him to write a novel during this period.
With so much time, he would definitely have to write a long novel, the kind with millions of words.
He didn't write novels for fame or fortune, but just to kill time and have fun.
Soon, Xu Ye thought of which book to write.
"Just write "The Tao of Strange Immortals"!"
On Earth, the author of this book's pen name is Fox Tail's Pen, and his real name is Hu Wei, and the pen name was chosen very casually.
This is an online novel that combines Eastern fantasy and Western Cthulhu elements, with a very unique style.
The protagonist Li Huowang travels between an urban world and a world of immortal cultivation, and is mistaken for a mental patient. His various behaviors in the novel make readers say that he is sick.
The novel itself is very crazy, and Xu Ye's nickname "Zuowang Dao" is from this novel.
He has kept it a secret from the paparazzi Geng Biao for so long, so at least Geng Biao should know what Zuowang Dao is.
After making the decision, Xu Ye exchanged "Dao Weiyi Xian" with a novel exchange voucher.
The contents of the novel exchanged by the system are all imprinted in his mind.
The most time-consuming part of writing a novel is not writing, but conceiving.
Many authors often get stuck at a point, and sometimes they get stuck for several hours.
Some get stuck for several months, and then the book is abandoned.
For Xu Ye, this problem does not exist, and he does not need to conceive.
He only needed to revise the original text for some typos and incoherent sentences. It was not complicated to simply type out the things in his mind.
Xu Ye searched online and found that the world's largest online novel website was a website called End Chinese.
This website is similar to the Starting Point Chinese website on Earth, and the works on it are also flourishing.
Books like "The Strange Immortal Dao" can only achieve good results on such a platform. After all, this chapter is said to be better than the main text, and the level of readers here is really high.
After studying the rules of publishing books on the website, Xu Ye registered a writer account.
Since Hu Wei is called "Fox Tail Pen", he will be called "Howard Bi".
As for whether he will be recognized by the editor of End Chinese, Xu Ye doesn't care. If he is recognized, he will be recognized.
After registering the writer account, Xu Ye created a new book "The Strange Immortal Dao" in the writer's background. After the book was created, he started typing.
At the beginning, his typing speed was not fast, but later it became faster and smoother.
When typing, Xiao Xu came over to take a look. After knowing that Xu Ye was writing a novel, Xiao Xu immediately expressed his desire to be Xu Ye's first reader.
A few hours later, Xu Ye finished writing 10,000 words, almost four chapters, and he published these four chapters directly.
After publishing, Xu Ye did not stop, but continued to write, anyway, he had nothing to do now.
He planned to keep at least 10,000 words a day from the beginning to the end of the book, and he still had to save manuscripts.
The next morning, the editorial department of the Chinese website.
Editor Song Feng drank a cup of coffee in the tea room and sat at the office meeting table.
Song Feng's work every day is very regular. If there is no meeting, his main job is to deal with various problems encountered by contracted authors.
In addition, he looks for new books in the library of the website. If he thinks it is good, he will send a contract invitation to the author.
However, it is not an easy thing to find a book that catches your eye. Now that online literature has been developed for decades, many things have been written.
Book writing has also entered the era of involution from the barbaric era, and there are fewer and fewer new authors who can kill out of a pile of books.
Songfeng prefers to read books by new authors, which have more spiritual energy than old authors.
He opened the editing background and started to read the books in the library.
All new books with a word count of 6,000 words will appear here.
Songfeng read more than a dozen books in succession, and basically couldn't sign a contract at first glance. Most of them were written in a mess, not even as good as elementary school students' essays.
But this is the work of an editor. As the saying goes, it's like panning for gold in shit, and Songfeng has gotten used to it.
At this time, he saw a new book in the background, the title of which is "Dao Wei Yi Xian".
He checked the basic information of this author and found that he was a new author.
"Howard, such a Western pen name, but he actually wrote Eastern fantasy."
After reading the title and introduction, Songfeng became interested in this book.
He clicked on the main text and read it. At the beginning, Li Huowang was in a cave. Songfeng thought it was just an ordinary time travel routine.
But when he saw the end of the first chapter, Li Huowang suddenly opened his eyes and appeared in the ward, and Songfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good fellow, all that was just fantasy?" Songfeng was a little surprised.
This kind of writing is not uncommon, but it is very interesting here.
Especially the protagonist is actually a mental patient!
He started reading the second chapter, which talked about the mental hospital. When he reached the end of the chapter, there was another chapter break.
Li Huowang found that the things he had in the illusion were actually brought to the real world by him.
After reading these two chapters, Songfeng directly sent a contract invitation.
"This Howard is definitely not a new author. The writing skills of new authors cannot be so good. It is probably an old author who is writing a book under a new vest." Songfeng said in his heart.
The word vest has spread since it appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
Songfeng was also speculating on the plot in his heart.
At present, it seems that the plot of this book is probably the story of the protagonist using his ability to shuttle between the illusion and the real world to grow up in the two worlds.
Practicing in the urban world is also very cool.
After reading the next two chapters, Songfeng's guess was basically confirmed.
"The cultivation world is an illusion, and the ward is the real world."
He was also very curious about what the author named "Howardby" would write next.
Songfeng added this book to his personal bookshelf. He thought the subversion of traditional cultivation in this book was also very interesting.
In the afternoon, Howard added him as a friend. Songfeng told him about the contract and didn't say anything more.
At 6 pm, "Dao Wei Yi Xian" updated five chapters at once.
An update notification popped up on Songfeng's phone, and he quickly clicked in to read.
Sure enough, Li Huowang brought something out of the illusion and asked his good friend Yang Na to exchange it for money.
However, when Songfeng saw the ninth chapter, his mind was full of question marks.
In the world of cultivation, the protagonist became a disciple of the master Dan Yangzi in Qingfeng Temple.
Dan Yangzi said that Li Huowang had hysteria.
Li Huowang immediately turned pale and said, "I don't eat, I'm not sick!"
Songfeng's eyes widened.
"Fuck, I can't tell which side is real and which side is fake? Is it possible that the real world is fake? No way?"
In an instant, the plot became more interesting.
When Li Huowang returned to the ward again, he told everyone that the people over there were real and ours was an illusion.
As a result, everything in the real world froze, everyone disappeared, and he returned to the illusion world.
Li Huowang fell into pain.
"Fuck!" Song Feng screamed directly.
This was completely beyond his expectations, and the development of the plot was completely different from what he thought.
In the office, other editors asked: "Song Feng, what's wrong?"
Song Feng immediately said: "I recommend this book to you, Dao Wei Yi Xian. If the quality of this book is maintained, it will definitely be a masterpiece, and it is not impossible to get 10,000 subscriptions!"
In the Chinese website of the end, a masterpiece is a book with an average subscription of more than 3,000, and 10,000 subscriptions is a book with an average subscription of more than 10,000.
The average subscription is how many readers subscribe to each chapter on average.
This is the real money support of readers, and it is also a standard for measuring the quality of the work.
Every reader must have his own preferences. Some readers like to read urban novels, and some like to read fantasy fairy heroes. Relatively speaking, a book that can be liked by many readers must have something outstanding.
"I'll go and have a look."
Many editors searched for it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the latest chapter.
This development is different from what everyone expected.
"This book is definitely written by an old author!"
"It's interesting, and it's different from most immortal cultivation novels."
"But the subject matter of this book is still a bit niche. It's possible to get 10,000 subscriptions, but it's not possible to get more. This is too sick."
"Howard, do any of you know this author?"
"No, I haven't heard of it."
"This is strange. Can an old author appear out of thin air?"
The online literature circle is actually very small. Authors like those on End Chinese also have their own circles. Even if you don't know this author, you can find someone you know by asking around.
Authors like Howard who appear out of thin air are rare.
But the editors didn't think much about it. Maybe some authors are just so low-key.
On the other hand, Xu Ye was also taking care of Xiao Xu while typing.
After a few days, "Dao Weiyi Xian" was recommended by End Chinese.
Only when it was listed in the recommended position did it become exposed, and then there were comments from readers.
Some readers could not accept the description of the immortal cultivators at first.
In everyone's impression, the immortal cultivators are immortals, but the immortal cultivators in this book are like monsters, as perverted as they can be, and even many descriptions look a bit disgusting.
"This book is really sick, the author's mental state is definitely a bit problematic!"
"No, buddy, your protagonist is really cruel!"
"I seriously suspect that this author came out of a mental hospital!"
"I feel that my mental state is a bit abnormal as I read it."
Although some readers said they could not accept it, some readers still said it was well written.
A week later, "Dao Wei Yi Xian" successfully advanced to the next round of recommendations and entered the top 50 of the new book list.
The data is not so explosive, which is already pretty good for a new vest.
Some online writers have also noticed this book.
There is no way, this book is really written with too much characteristics, I have never seen it before.
Cthulhu elements are not new, but it is the first time for them to read a novel that combines these Chinese elements with Cthulhu.
"This is definitely an old thing. Where did this author come from?"
"How did he squeeze me off the new book list?"
"Who knows this author?"
A group of authors searched around, but they couldn't find any news about Howardby.
Howardby also has no reader group, and never replies to readers' comments in the comment area. He just updates on time at noon every day.
Each update is not much or less, just about 10,000 words.
With a large amount of content and timely updates, the performance of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" is getting better and better.
When the novel was updated to 100,000 words, it had reached the ninth place on the new book list.
Books that can enter the top ten of the new book list have very good data in all aspects, and both authors and readers will pay attention to this book.
In a certain author group, a group of authors are talking about "Dao Wei Yi Xian".
"Has Dao Wei Yi Xian been read? This book is really crazy, and this author is really sick!"
"Is this author really in a mental hospital? The update time is so punctual every day. Isn't it because the doctor wants to collect mobile phones?"
"I like to read this kind of book, but this subject is still too niche, and there are not many readers."
"Estimate the first order of this book."
The so-called first order is the number of subscriptions within 24 hours after the first chapter of a novel is published.
Based on this data, we can basically see whether the performance of this book is good or not.
At this time, an author named "Jianxing Jianyuan" spoke.
[Jianxing Jianyuan: His first order will definitely not exceed 3,000! 】
In an instant, other authors in the group started to joke.
"You can't say that others can't exceed 3,000 just because your new book's first order is 2990."
"Jianjian had the opportunity to first order a fine product, but I didn't expect that in the end there were only ten orders short."
"It's okay. No one will know if you don't say it out."
"Jianjian, send a red envelope immediately, or I will spread this matter to the entire author group!"
Soon, the chat room in the group went astray.
This is also normal.
On Earth, the popularity of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" did not become popular during the new book period, but waited until later.
When the book was put on the shelves, the first order was just over 3,000, and no one thought that the book would eventually exceed 100,000 in average order and become a phenomenal work.
Xu Ye has no plan to advertise this book for the time being.
The main text of the novel has not been updated to the Zuo Wang Dao, and it is not time to promote it yet!
When the number of words in the novel was almost the same, Xu Ye directly found Song Feng and applied for early listing.
In theory, he still has some time before the book is put on the shelves, but don't forget that he updates 10,000 words every day, while other authors only update 4,000 words during the new book period.
Song Feng persuaded Xu Ye to extend the new book period so that he can accumulate more readers.
But Xu Ye didn't care about these at all.
After all, he knew that this book would be popular and readers would accumulate sooner or later.
Song Feng had no choice but to arrange for Xu Ye to put the book on the shelves.
One day before the book was put on the shelves, at 12 noon, after the new chapter was updated, Xu Ye sent a notice of putting the book on the shelves.
"It will be on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow."
This confused a group of readers.
"Your words of thanks for the release are just one sentence?"
"It's on the shelves now?"
"Did the doctor take your phone? Can't you say a few more words?"
The readers said what they should say, but they still supported it.
The next day, "Dao Wei Yi Xian" was updated on time, and five chapters were updated at one time.
Chapter 92 to Chapter 96.
Li Huowang was going to catch an evil spirit called La Yue Shi Ba to Master Jing Xin to help him get rid of the Dan Yangzi on his body.
The readers were unprepared and thought it was just an ordinary chapter on the shelves.
Everyone clicked on the subscription and started reading.
After this period of chasing, the readers who stayed were more or less seriously ill, and everyone felt that they had adapted to Li Huowang's mental state.
Li Huowang went to catch La Yue Shi Ba, and his consciousness went to the real world again in the middle.
He firmly believed that the so-called real world was his illusion, and in the illusion he escaped from the mental hospital.
Li Huowang was eager to return to the world of immortal cultivation to solve Layue Shiba, but he saw the projection of Layue Shiba in the real world.
He followed all the way and saw Layue Shiba in a kindergarten. It was a girl wearing a red hairpin.
Li Huowang rushed into the kindergarten and kidnapped the child. In his opinion, he controlled Layue Shiba.
But in the eyes of people in the real world, Li Huowang was completely crazy.
Everything he did was done by a mental patient.
The police surrounded him, and his mother Sun Xiaoqin also came to the scene, begging him to let go of the little girl in his hand.
Sun Xiaoqin finally knelt on the ground, saying, "Mom, I'm kneeling down to beg you. For you, we have sold our house. Our family really has no money to compensate."
When he heard Sun Xiaoqin's voice, Li Huowang collapsed.
He shouted "Mom" in his mouth.
After seeing this scene, many readers felt the confusion in Li Huowang's heart.
He firmly believed that this world was fake, but Sun Xiaoqin's love for him was real.
So what is the so-called everything is a fantasy of the mentally ill Li Huowang, or is it real?
If it is a fantasy, then which side is real and which side is fake?
If they are all real, then why can some of Li Huowang's actions be synchronized in both worlds?
In the end, Li Huowang shouted out everything in his heart.
"Mom!! I can't tell!! I really can't tell ah ah ah!!"
Many readers felt goose bumps all over their bodies after seeing this sentence.
"Awesome!"
"Howard Bi, I can't tell either!"
"I've read more than 100,000 words, but I still can't figure it out!"
"Howard Bi, you are really sick! Hey, why does this sentence look familiar?"
After a group of readers finished reading the chapters on the shelves, this famous scene of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" was spread by readers.
This famous scene began to circulate in the reader group, forums, and some novel forums.
Not to mention that Li Huowang couldn't tell, readers couldn't tell either.
A group of online writers also caught this news.
Unlike readers, everyone is more curious about who Howard Bi is.
Judging from the writing skills, this is definitely not the work of a new author, but a veteran one.
Xianxingyuan searched again in major chat groups, but found nothing.
It's like this author appeared out of nowhere.
The next day, the first order data for "The Strange Fairy" was released.
Some authors saw the first order data on a statistics website, and there were more than 3,000 first order orders.
This is the reason why it was put on the shelves in advance. If it had not been put on the shelves in advance, the data would definitely be better.
After all, in this world, Xu Ye updates 10,000 words every day, so the data is naturally better.
Authors in the online literature circle understand that the more updates the better.
After a month of waiting, "The Strange Fairy" has already exceeded 10,000 orders, lighting up the sought-after badge on the Dingmin Chinese website for works with over 10,000 orders.
As the plot progresses, the mysterious organization Zuowangdao has appeared on the Internet.
On some social software or short video software, you can occasionally meet a group of netizens who claim to be sitting and forgetting.
The results of "The Strange Fairy" have also stabilized.
After finishing coding that night, Xu Ye turned on his phone and entered his small account nicknamed Zuowangdao.
During this time, he has been paying attention to Geng Biao's movements.
Zuo Wangdao has already appeared. Perhaps this meme is currently only circulating in the Internet literary circle and has not broken out of the circle. Geng Biao has not yet realized what is wrong with Brother Zuo.
The two occasionally communicated, but Xu Ye basically took the initiative, and Geng Biao didn't notice anything unusual at all.
At this time, the "Internal Fish Eating Melon Group" that Xu Ye joined suddenly sent a message to all members of Aite.
The person who sent this message is the group owner.
"Anyone who has information about Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia will talk to me privately and ask for a high price."
The group suddenly became lively.
"Who has this? These two couples have been pregnant for a while, but they didn't take any photos."
"If nothing else, it's okay to make this photo a hot search, right?"
"Just the pregnancy photos are nothing, they didn't hide it."
Everyone was talking to each other, and the group leader said: "So let's see if there is any big material."
After watching everyone's chat for a while, Xu Ye sent a message to Geng Biao.
"Brother Biao, are you there? I have something urgent to tell you."
Not long after, Geng Biao replied.
"Brother Xiaozuo, what's wrong?"
Geng Biao is quite fond of Brother Xiaozuo, and this is his only direct contact with Xu Ye.
The information about Xu Ye that Brother Xiaozuo had given him the previous two times was genuine, but everyone was fooled by Xu Ye.
Several years have passed, and Geng Biao has forgotten the specific situation at that time.
Xu Ye replied: "Brother Biao, I have Xu Ye's aniseed in my hand."
Geng Biao asked: "If you have big materials, go to the group leader to exchange for money. Why do you tell me?"
"I'm not familiar with that group leader." Xu Ye replied.
The reason he said is also very reasonable.
On the other side, Geng Biao was leisurely drinking beer and playing with his mobile phone in the hotel. He had nothing to do at the moment and directly replied to Brother Xiaozuo.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Not long after, news about Xu Ye came.
"Brother Biao, I will send you the materials. As for how much it will cost, you can give it as you see."
Geng Biao smiled and replied: "What other materials can Xu Ye have? It's not worth anything."
However, as soon as he sent this message, he received a new message.
The moment he saw this new news, Geng Biao straightened up and his eyes widened.
The message from Xu Ye only had a few words.
"Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia have divorced."
Good guy, they just held their wedding this year. They are a model couple. If they get divorced, the entire entertainment industry will be shaken.
"How did you know?"
"Didn't I work at Sound and Light Entertainment before? I also had a friend who worked there. One time during dinner, I let the news slip. He said that Xu Ye had someone outside." Xu Ye replied seriously.
However, this kind of news does not convince Geng Biao. He is already an old paparazzi.
He could make up a hundred pieces of information in one night just by speaking.
The key is to have real results.
As long as there is real evidence and a little bit of news is released, if Xu Ye doesn't want his career to be affected, he will have to pay for the hush money.
The hush money is not a small amount.
"Do you have evidence?" Geng Biao asked.
"Yes!" Xu Ye said.
He had already prepared for it. When he wrote "The Weird Immortal", he was already preparing for today.
Xu Ye directly sent a video to Geng Biao.
"Brother Biao, I took this photo after squatting for three days and three nights."
On the other side, Geng Biao clicked on the video.
In the picture, there are some grass leaves blocking the camera, which is obviously a hidden shot. The photographer seems to be hiding in the garden.
The shooting location was in a certain community, and it was also a candid perspective.
Not long after, Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia appeared on the screen, Xu Ye in front and Xu Nanjia in the back.
Xu Nanjia reached out to take Xu Ye's hand, but Xu Ye threw Xu Nanjia's hand away and said with an angry expression: "Don't touch me!"
Xiao Xu's expression was a little aggrieved.
Xu Ye continued: "We are already divorced, so stop pestering me."
The video ends abruptly.
Although Xu Ye's last words were not very clear, I could still hear them a little bit. At least the word divorce was quite clear.
Geng Biao felt like there was a big drum pounding in his chest.
real!
It's actually true!
Videos can’t lie!
The first two times he fell into Xu Ye's hands, it was because he was impulsive. Xu Ye didn't say anything at that time, but this time Xu Ye said something, there is no way to quibble!
"Big news, definitely big news!" Geng Biao stood up from the bed excitedly.
He didn't dare to think how much heat it would cause if this explosive news was exposed.
This heat alone can last at least a week, supporting many marketing accounts.
If he can get a hush money from Xu Ye, it will be even more profitable.
Geng Biao immediately saved the video.
He shook his head and sighed in his heart: "Brother Xiaozuo is still as innocent as ever. Thanks to you meeting me, otherwise you won't get a penny if you send the video out like this."
He replied to Xu Ye: "Brother Xiaozuo, you have to be careful in the future. Don't send such important things to others casually. If others take it away, how can you make money?"
"Brother Biao, I'm not that stupid. I believe you are not that kind of person."
Geng Biao felt warm in his heart when he saw this sentence.
"I'll transfer 2,000 yuan to you first. Your video is very valuable, and you will definitely get some benefits."
Geng Biao transferred 2,000 yuan to Xu Ye without saying anything.
Soon, Xu Ye's message came.
"Brother, you are so nice."
Geng Biao gave a few more instructions and started to prepare.
With the video in hand, he will definitely get this wave of traffic.
Now all he needs to think about is how to maximize this wave of traffic.
Two days later, a well-known paparazzi account sent a message.
"The most promising couple in the entertainment industry has divorced. The man is a top-tier male star."
Not long after this Weibo post was published, the onlookers in the comment area locked on the target.
Married, a top-tier male star, a top-tier star, and a good relationship, just expose Xu Ye's name directly.
"These paparazzi are getting more and more shameless now. Xu Ye just got married, okay?"
"If you said other stars, I would believe it. But I don't believe you said Xu Xu Rusheng got divorced!"
"It's a bit funny. The paparazzi's professional level is too low."
Except for some of Xu Ye's black fans who applauded, no one believed it at all.
The person who posted this news was naturally Geng Biao.
Although most people didn't believe it, the topic of Xu Ye's divorce still made it to the hot search list.
Geng Biao quickly posted another Weibo.
"I won't say this without evidence. The live broadcast will reveal it at 8 o'clock in the evening three days later."
The reason why Geng Biao didn't announce who it was right away was that he was waiting for Xu Ye to contact him.
Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia are both in the rising stage of their careers. This kind of news will definitely have an impact on their careers.
As long as Xu Ye is willing to pay a hush money, he can expose the black material of another star during the live broadcast to take the blame for Xu Ye.
However, after waiting for three days, not only did Xu Ye not respond publicly, but no one contacted him privately.
Geng Biao felt something was wrong.
But the video in his hand was real.
He had asked someone to check the video. The video was real and there was no trace of post-production.
The advantage was his!
These three days, the Internet was in an uproar.
However, Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia had already issued a notice of suspension of business, and the two ignored the online discussions.
Xu Ye was also updating "The Strange Immortal Dao" with peace of mind.
In the group of the logistics department of Huohua Psychiatric Hospital, a group of senior patients were also discussing this matter.
Han Ran, the captain of the security team, asked: "Do you feel that the current situation on the Internet is a bit familiar?"
"It seems to be true. I remember that the dean deceived the paparazzi twice, right?"
"This time the paparazzi said it with certainty, so they should have solid evidence in their hands, right?"
"The paparazzi also had solid evidence in their hands the first two times."
"Will the paparazzi be deceived again this time?"
"The dean is definitely practicing the Way of Forgetting!"
"What is the Way of Forgetting?"
Someone in the group asked.
Soon, a group member pushed "The Tao of Weird Immortals" to the group members.
"Zuowang Dao is a sect in the novel, and this is a novel adapted from a game."
"There is also a game, why can't I find it?"
"You believe it! Hahaha!"
The group chat was very lively.
...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Geng Biao started the live broadcast.
He naturally did not show his face in the live broadcast, but put on a doll headgear on his head.
There were more and more people in the live broadcast room, and by the end, there were more than 100,000 people online.
Geng Biao can be said to have used up all the traffic this time.
There is also a link to sell goods in his live broadcast room. More than 100,000 people came in. Even if only 1% of them placed orders, there would be thousands of people. How to make money is how to make money.
By the end, all the audience were urging in the barrage.
Geng Biao is like a riddle man who never tells the truth.
Geng Biao saw that no one from Xu Ye contacted him, so he decided to publish the information in his hand.
After three days, the popularity has almost been consumed.
At this time, a group of viewers in the barrage were boiling.
"Did Xu Ye speak just now?"
"Fuck, Xu Ye is also in the live broadcast room!"
"Is it really Xu Ye?"
Geng Biao was a little confused. He felt that he was scrolling forward in the bullet screen. After searching for a while, he found a bullet screen posted by a singer named Xu Ye.
"Why haven't you revealed the news yet!"
Geng Biao's heart trembled. He clicked on the name of this person and entered his personal homepage.
There is a self-introduction and official certification on the personal homepage. It is Xu Ye!
For a moment, Geng Biao felt a layer of cold sweat break out all over his body.
At this time, Xu Ye actually dared to come to the live broadcast room to urge him to break the news. Could it be that Xu Ye's divorce was fake?
Impossible!
If it is fake, how do you explain this video?
At this time, Xu Ye said something again.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
For a moment, a group of people in the live broadcast room followed suit and started this sentence.
By this time, Geng Biao was already riding a tiger.
He can either go off the air now and pretend nothing happened, or break the news.
Geng Biao felt that his heart was beating fast. He remembered the previous two experiences of being deceived by Xu Ye.
He remembered it all.
After some psychological struggle, Geng Biao decided to break the news!
Geng Biao said slowly: "Everyone, wait a moment, I will post the actual results on my homepage now."
He sent out the video he had prepared in his draft box.
The video was exactly the one sent to him by Zuowangdao.
"It's been sent out, you can go to my homepage to read it," Geng Biao said.
A large group of viewers immediately flocked to Geng Biao's personal homepage and clicked to view the latest video.
After everyone watched the latest video, everyone was shocked.
"Damn it, it's really Xu Ye!"
"When did they divorce?"
"What a shocking giant melon!"
Just when the audience was about to click on the comment area to comment, they found that there were already comments in the comment area.
The person who commented was none other than Xu Ye.
"I'm just waiting for you. Come to my homepage to watch my latest video."
Everyone quickly clicked on Xu Ye's homepage.
There is a hot video that was just released on the homepage.
After clicking in, it was still Xu Ye and Xiao Xu in the video. Their clothes and the content of the conversation were exactly the same as in Geng Biaofa's video.
The difference is that this video was shot from a different perspective, and it was shot openly.
This video is a bit longer than Geng Biaofa’s video.
When Xu Ye finished saying that we were divorced, Xiao Xu was so aggrieved that he was speechless, and his acting was very vivid.
After a few seconds she burst into laughter.
"Stop making trouble and come home with me!" Xiao Xu said with a smile.
"Do you think anyone will believe it?" Xu Ye asked.
The video ends here.
For a moment, all netizens who saw this video had their eyes widened.
After three days of fermentation, almost everyone was sure that the person Geng Biao was talking about was Xu Ye!
There was no response from Xu Ye, so it was basically confirmed that this was Xu Ye!
Until the moment when Geng Biao posted the secretly filmed video, everyone was sure that the divorcee was Xu Ye!
But once Xu Ye posted this video, everything was ruined.
Xu Ye's reaction was too fast!
He seemed to have known what Geng Biao was going to say for a long time and was already prepared to deal with it.
You think what you filmed is real, but in fact it was all performed by Xu Ye and Xiao Xu.
"You're crazy! You two were filming a short video, and the paparazzi happened to take it?"
"This video does not seem to be fake. It can be determined that the two videos were shot at the same time."
"So, the paparazzi were deceived by Xu Ye?"
"Or is this a joint operation between the paparazzi and Xu Ye?"
"It's not the paparazzi, right? Didn't Xu Ye offend all the paparazzi?"
On the other side, Geng Biao also finished watching Xu Ye’s video.
After reading it, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his mind went blank.
Too fast!
Xu Ye's reaction this time was too fast, as if everything was planned by him.
If Xu Ye sent this clarification video a day after he posted the video, it can be said that Xu Ye is cheating.
But Xu Ye's clarification video was released within a few seconds after he posted it. This is not fraud, this is preparation!
"Am I being fooled again?" Geng Biao was confused.
Tonight, several topics have become hot searches.
"The paparazzi broke the news about Xu Ye's divorce", "the paparazzi overturned", "Xu Ye clarified the video", "the paparazzi was deceived by Xu Ye for the third time"...
Such topics are accompanied by huge popularity.
Among these topics, one word was mentioned by many netizens, and then spread more and more widely.
That is "sitting and forgetting the way".
"The boss of Hongzhong is so playful!"
"Xu Ye is the way to sit and forget!"
"Give up paparazzi, you can't play Zuowangdao!"
In this incident, the word "Zuowangdao" quickly became popular, and "The Weird Fairy" was also remembered by many netizens.
The benefit is that on the Dingmin Chinese website, the results of "The Strange Fairy" began to soar rapidly.
This made editor Songfeng very excited.
He never expected that the influence of the book "The Weird Immortal" would actually break through the circle.
Now even Xu Ye is known as Zuowangdao. It’s hard to imagine whether this novel will be popular!
Matsukaze quickly sent a message to Howardby.
"You're going to be hot!"
After a while, Howardby replied to him.
"Don't worry, it will get even hotter."
Songfeng was a little confused.
Zuowangdao has already left the circle, how could it become more popular?
What could be more popular than this?
On the other side, Geng Biao was already depressed.
He was tricked by Xu Ye again.
Even this time he failed without enjoying the joy of success.
Who would have thought that Xu Ye was actually shooting a short video!
At this moment, Geng Biao also felt something was wrong.
Every time he was cheated, it seemed to be related to Brother Xiaozuo!
And this video has a second half, why didn't Brother Xiaozuo mention it?
On the Internet, many netizens were posting the meme of Zuowangdao in his comment area.
Geng Biao took out his mobile phone and searched what Zuowangdao meant, and then found the book "Dao Weiyixian".
Suddenly he realized a problem.
"Isn't Brother Xiaozuo called Zuowangdao?!"
Geng Biao felt a flash of inspiration passing through his mind, and he was just a little bit away from catching it.
Geng Biao quickly analyzed it in his mind.
Suddenly, he thought of it!
"Dao Weiyixian is a novel that was only updated this year! Zuowangdao is a meme in the novel!"
"Brother Xiaozuo's name was given a few years ago!"
"It can't be such a coincidence, there is something wrong here!"
Geng Biao's eyes lit up, and he sent a message to Brother Xiaozuo.
"Are you Howard Bi, the author of The Strange Immortal?"
In Geng Biao's opinion, there can only be this one reason.
The term "Zuowang Dao" is not something that most people can think of. The only explanation is that Brother Xiaozuo is Howard Bi himself.
The person he knows is an online novel author!
After seeing Geng Biao's inquiry, Xu Ye also frankly admitted that he was the author of "The Strange Immortal", and there was nothing to hide.
The next second, Geng Biao questioned: "Did you lie to me on purpose? You clearly know what happened later."
"Yes." Xu Ye admitted it directly.
Geng Biao was furious.
"What do you want?"
Xu Ye replied: "Look at my name."
Geng Biao looked at the name, where the three words "Zuowang Dao" were written.
For a moment, Geng Biao was convinced.
It's really Zuowang Dao!
You just want to have fun!
After that, no matter what message Geng Biao sent, Xu Ye would not reply.
Geng Biao had no choice. He really couldn't find who Zuowang Dao was.
…
On the Chinese website Endpoint, the book "Dao Wei Yi Xian" is becoming more and more popular, with an average subscription of over 30,000 in one month.
After another month, it exceeded 50,000 average subscriptions, and it can increase by 20,000 average subscriptions in almost one month.
This is a very explosive result on the entire Chinese website Endpoint.
This book has become the top stream of the entire website.
The "Zuowang Dao" has become a hot topic on the Internet.
But the story is not over yet.
One day, when netizens were watching videos on Xiaolanz.com, they saw a video called "Zuowang Dao".
Everyone thought it was a secondary creation video of a novel, but when they clicked in, they found that it was a song.
The name of the song is "Zuowang Dao".
When everyone's eyes moved to the name of the up master, they were all stunned.
This up master turned out to be Xu Ye!
"Xu Ye wrote a song for Dao Wei Yi Xian?"
"Howard is really promising. Xu Ye even wrote a song for his novel!"
"Am I seeing right? Xu Ye, who has closed his business, actually wrote a song for a novel?"
Most of the people who clicked into this video are fans of Dao Wei Yi Xian.
The number of this group of fans is also very large.
Of course, some of them are just people who like to have fun on the Internet.
Although everyone has not read the novel, they also know what Zuo Wang Dao means.
Everyone clicked into the video and listened to it.
This song was indeed posted by Xu Ye. On Earth, it was posted on Bilibili by a person named "Dynasty 1982".
This song was originally created for Dao Wei Yi Xian.
This singer is also a creator himself. He is also one of the arrangers of Shanhe Tu.
After everyone clicked in, they felt that the style of this song was very different and it really matched the novel.
"Hey, worshipping the mountain at night~"
"Whose hand is that arm around the shoulder~"
"Just follow him if you have the guts~"
"No matter what~"
After listening to the whole song, netizens quickly commented in the comment area.
"I didn't expect that the TV series of Dao Wei Yi Xian actually invited Xu Ye to star in it, and the theme song has been released."
"This song is very nice, I want to play the game of Dao Wei Yi Xian!"
"Isn't it an anime? There has never been a game!"
"Red Zhong Boss is fun!"
This song quickly topped the Xiaolanzhan ranking list.
This is Xu Ye's song, and the impact it has is completely different!
All of this is within Xu Ye's plan.
The fact that "Dao Wei Yi Xian" can achieve such good results is inseparable from these secondary creations.
Among these secondary creations, there are several songs that are quite good, and Xu Ye simply released them.
The only regret for him is that no one has guessed that he is Howard Bi.
This pen name, Huohua's pen, is clearly written, why didn't anyone guess it?
Later, Xu Ye released several secondary songs about "The Strange Immortal".
With his help, the performance of "The Strange Immortal" directly exceeded 60,000 average subscriptions, and it is still growing.
On the Internet, a group of people are also discussing who "Howard Bi" is.
This author is too mysterious. There is no information about him. He never participates in the activities of the End Chinese Network and never shows up.
In a blink of an eye, several months have passed.
"The Strange Immortal" has also been updated to the finale, and the average subscription has already exceeded 100,000 average subscriptions.
Such excellent results have attracted a large number of authors to follow suit, but other authors can only learn superficially and not the essence at all.
Some readers joked: "You can't write well because you are not sick, but Howard is really sick!"
After finishing writing "The Weird Immortal", Xu Ye was very depressed.
It's hard to believe that no one guessed that he was Howard Bi.
He wrote songs for "Tao Wei Xian", which seemed very normal to everyone. This is what he can do.
After all, this is free publicity for a novel, and ordinary celebrities would not do such a thing.
As the year enters 2022, the Destination Chinese website has begun preparations for the annual meeting of authors.
Authors who can attend the annual meeting must be authors with very good grades.
Howardby is also on the invitation list for the annual meeting.
Editor Songfeng sent a message to Xu Ye.
"You don't have to participate in other activities. You have to come to this year's annual meeting. Let me tell you something. Didn't Xu Ye write songs for your novel? We also invited Xu Ye this year. You didn't expect it. Bar!"
Matsukaze said this with a somewhat showy tone.
Xu Ye even said that he was out of business, but he could still come to the annual meeting of the Dingmin Chinese website. For a top-notch person of this level to attend, it was a symbol of prestige.
Xu Ye on the opposite side pretended to be very excited and said: "Really? Then I have to go this time!"
In fact, he already knew about this.
"Send your identity information and we will help you book hotels and air tickets," Matsukaze said.
"No, I'll go with my wife and we'll order it ourselves." Xu Ye replied.
"Alright."
Songfeng didn't say anything more.
Howard is now an author with a monthly subscription of RMB 100,000, which is not much less than the hotel and air tickets.
When the annual meeting was about to be held, Dingmin Chinese website also released the news that Xu Ye was coming to attend the annual meeting and would sing the song "Zi Wangdao" on the stage.
The writers of the Dingmin Chinese website have long been excited.
But compared to Xu Ye, everyone is more concerned about whether Howard will come.
This author can be said to be the most mysterious author on the Dingmin Chinese website so far.
Xu Ye has come to sing for "The Strange Fairy", so you, the author, have to come.
These authors inquired about the situation from the editor, and Howard would come to attend the annual meeting.
"This time I finally get to see Howard in person."
"Seeing Xu Ye compete with Howard once, this annual meeting is worth it."
"I don't know how old Howard is. Is he mentally ill?"
Many authors discuss it.
Netizens are also discussing Xu Ye's attendance at the annual meeting of the Dingmin Chinese website.
Time soon came to the day of the annual meeting.
Since the day, Howard Bi has not participated in any activities. If Songfeng hadn't been able to contact Howard Bi, he would have thought that Howard Bi had not come.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony and annual meeting performances of the Destination Chinese Network have begun.
In the auditorium, there was an empty seat next to editor Matsukaze, and a note saying "Howard than" was posted on the seat.
However, even after the performance started, the chair was still empty.
Songfeng couldn't help but become a little anxious.
He sent several messages to Howardby, but no one responded, and no one answered his Internet phone calls.
"What's going on? Is Howard here?"
"That shouldn't be the case. He will definitely win an award at tonight's award ceremony. Wouldn't it be too bad if he doesn't come?"
"That's right. Xu Ye has come to sing for his book. Why don't you come here?"
A group of authors also discussed it.
After waiting for a while, it was Xu Ye's turn to perform on stage.
As soon as he appeared, the audience burst into applause.
The media at the scene were also very excited.
Normally there wouldn't be so many media at the scene, but there were so many media today, and everyone was here to take pictures of Xu Ye.
After Xu Ye came on stage, he sang a song called "Zi Wang Dao", and then he came off the stage and returned to the guest seats.
After waiting for a while, the award-giving guests came on stage and were ready to present the awards.
Matsukaze was ready to take the stage.
Howard Bi won the award this time, but so far Howard Bi has not come to the scene, so he, the editor, can only accept the award on his behalf.
At this moment, Matsukaze received a message.
[Howardby: I was there. 】
Songfeng looked around subconsciously, but saw no one. He didn't know what Howard looked like.
But this news is already good news.
Matsukaze immediately replied: "It's good to be here, get ready to go on stage to receive the award."
The guests on the stage also began to make announcements.
“The winner for Emerging Writer of the Year is Howard Bee.”
After the words fell, the introduction video of "The Weird Immortal" appeared on the big screen.
The host also followed up and said: "Howard, please come on stage to accept the award."
For a time, everyone's eyes in the entire venue were focused on the stage, and everyone was waiting for Howard to come on stage.
Everyone wants to know what the person who wrote such a masterpiece as "The Weird Immortal" looks like!
At this moment, Xu Ye stood up in the guest seat, straightened his collar and walked towards the stage.
A group of celebrities nearby were a little confused.
"Xu Ye, what are you going to do?"
"This is an award ceremony for other authors, it has nothing to do with you."
Some celebrities reminded.
Xu Ye said calmly: "I am the author."
After the words fell, the stars were stunned.
What's the meaning?
Are you Howardby?
The few stars who were quick-witted suddenly realized something.
"Howard Bi, Huohua's pen! It's really Xu Ye!"
At this time, everyone saw Xu Ye slowly walk up to the stage and walk to the side of the award presenter.
The award presenter and the host were also stunned.
This script is wrong, why is Xu Ye here?
Shouldn't it be Howard Bi who comes up?
Songfeng stared at the stage with his eyes wide open, and then he suddenly thought of something.
When he reported the information once, he looked at Howard Bi's real-name authentication name, which was Xu Ye.
At that time, he didn't think much about it, just thought it was the same name.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Could Xu Ye be Howard Bi?
Xu Ye didn't give everyone too much time to doubt. After he walked up to the stage, he slowly said: "Hello everyone, I am Howard Bi."
For a time, the whole audience was shocked.
The online writers, editors, and executives of the End Chinese Network were all shocked.
Xu Ye is Howard Bi!
Howardbi is Xu Ye!
Not only them, but also a group of viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet were shocked.
Countless barrages flew through the live broadcast room.
"Hongzhong Boss, you are so funny!"
"No wonder, no wonder, Howardbi's homonym is Huohua's pen!"
"You are really a Zuowangdao!"
Among these viewers, there is another one with a more unique identity.
He is Geng Biao.
Geng Biao had no other intention to watch this live broadcast. He mainly wanted to know what Xiaozuo brother looked like.
He wanted to know who was under the Zuowangdao mask that had tricked him!
When Xu Ye walked onto the stage, Geng Biao already had the answer in his heart.
When Xu Ye introduced himself, Geng Biao's body had already collapsed on the sofa in the room.
In an instant, all the things he couldn't figure out before had an answer.
Xiaozuo brother is Xu Ye, and Howardbi is also Xu Ye.
It is precisely because they are all Xu Ye that this scam can be seamless!
Geng Biao remembered that night in 2016.
That was the first time he met his brother Xiaozuo.
He was squatting downstairs of Xu Ye's house.
The man wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat to greet him was Xu Ye!
This scam lasted from 2016 to 2022!
It turns out that you are really a Zuowang Dao!
Geng Biao was chilled.
On the stage, the award presenter asked: "Are you really Howard Bi?"
Xu Ye smiled and said: "Yes, Huohua's pen."
The audience in the audience was boiling.
A group of online writers were even more shocked.
The author they had been thinking about for almost a year turned out to be Xu Ye!
The most important thing is that his pen name is Howard Bi, and they didn't expect it to be Xu Ye.
"It's really fun!"
"It's worthy of being a top Zuowang Dao!"
"You are really sick!"
However, the authors have no opinion on Xu Ye.
The online writing circle speaks with strength.
The book "Dao Weiyixian" is well written, and everyone agrees on this point.
Regardless of Xu Ye's identity, his strength in the online literature circle is recognized by everyone.
He got an average subscription of 100,000 without revealing that he was Xu Ye. This is a real achievement!
After Xu Ye received the award and stepped down, he walked to the seat next to the editor Song Feng and sat down.
This time he sat in Howard's seat.
Song Feng gave him a thumbs up.
"You are awesome!"
Song Feng was speechless. What Xu Ye did was not a human thing!
It is conceivable that the Internet will be very lively after tonight.
After the annual meeting, some related topics have been on the hot search.
The news that Xu Ye is Howard also spread throughout the Internet.
When everyone learned of this news, they were also shocked.
Xu Ye was out of business in the entertainment industry, but he took advantage of Xiao Xu's pregnancy to write an online novel and became famous overnight.
You know, online novels of this level like "Dao Wei Yi Xian" must be adapted into film and television dramas.
In addition, this book is a big IP, and the actors who can star in the adapted drama must be traffic stars.
When this book was just completed, many companies found Zhongdian Chinese Network to buy the copyright for adaptation.
There are also some fans of traffic stars or the companies behind them who are fanning the flames, all wanting to take the starring position of this big IP.
But if Xu Ye is the author of "Dao Wei Yi Xian", then these people can go to bed.
The starring role has nothing to do with them.
The copyright of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" is in the hands of Xu Ye, and it is likely that Xu Ye or an actor from the same company will play Li Huowang.
The enthusiasm of the melon-eating crowd was also ignited, which also led to this novel, which has been completed for several months, to the top of the Zhongdian Chinese Network bestseller list.
In particular, a group of patients from Huohua Psychiatric Hospital rushed to the book review area to check in and leave messages.
"This is the first time I downloaded the Zhongdian Chinese Network app. I came here to support the dean. To show my respect, I rewarded you with a gold alliance. Although it is not much, it is not real."
"Brothers, Dao Wei Yi Xian has a game, and the spokesperson is Xu Ye!"
"New readers, don't be fooled by the people in the book review area. This is just a novel without any games or comics. These are the organizations called Jiantiansi in the novel. Zuowangdao is the decent organization in the novel. The author of this novel is also a star in the entertainment industry named Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye also has a cousin named Xu Ye."
"This is a harem novel!"
With the influx of a large number of netizens, the book review area was completely messed up, even more chaotic than the chaotic northwest of Shanxi.
It was impossible to tell which words were true and which were false.
On the other side, Xu Ye had returned to the hotel.
He lay on the bed and logged into the Zuowangdao account.
On the account, Geng Biao sent him more than a dozen messages.
Xu Ye automatically filtered out the abusive messages and looked at the last message Geng Biao sent him.
"Xu Ye, you are really sick!"
Xu Ye clicked on the transfer and transferred 4,200 yuan to Geng Biao.
This was all Geng Biao had transferred to him before.
"I've kept this money for so many years, I haven't spent a penny, I'm going to give it all back to you."
"Finally, I have something to say."
"Brother, you're such a nice person."
