Midsummer, Daoberry Entertainment.
The air conditioner in the office is turned up to eighteen degrees. Wen Xingze was biting a lollipop, holding his phone with a broken screen and nestling in the fabric sofa, his long legs were unceremoniously leaning on the armrest, and a white calf dangling in the air.
When the boss and agent walked in, they saw this scene.
Manager Wu Youjin glanced at his mobile phone, and almost couldn't hold back his anger: "Wen Xingze, what are you doing?"
Wen Xingze: "Help Xiaolu go to my super phone to check in, what's wrong?"
This 'Little Green' is one of the only seven live fans of Wen Xingze. I heard that Xiaolu was disconnected from the Internet to prepare for the college entrance examination, and didn't want to interrupt Wen Xingze's super chat check-in, so he gave Wen Xingze his Weibo account and asked her to help check in.
The relationship between artists and fans can reach this level, and there is no one else.
"I know you checked in for her," Wu Youjin said, "I said you matched the picture! No celebrity would post such a picture!"
Xiaolu is used to posting blessings on Weibo every day, accompanied by a photo of Wen Xingze. Wen Xingze accepted her commission and continued this habit.
Today's Weibo text is fine, but the picture is: Wen Xingze is riding a broken tricycle, biting a 50 cents piece of ice in his mouth, and the front of the car is written on a cardboard with the words "Recycle color TVs, refrigerators, old computer'.
Before Wu Youjin could stop it, Wen Xingze had already sent that Weibo, and then explained: "She wants to add a picture of me, but I really can't find a picture that she hasn't used before." So I used it. Let's take a look at the photo that the neighbor took for him yesterday.
Wu Youjin: "..."
"Forget it," the chubby boss smoothed things over, "It's understandable, Xiaowen doesn't have many announcements, and no one reads Chaohua."
Just like what he said, after Weibo was posted, there were 0 likes and 0 comments for a long time. After a long while, the staff of Daoberry Entertainment and Wen Xingze's six fans began to like it.
The only enterprising Wu Youjin present was pierced twice.
Wu Youjin stared at the photo of Wen Xingze stepping on three rounds.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, the shooting conditions are equally bad, and there are only a handful of people who can achieve this state without makeup. Wen Xingze's bones and skin are all good.
It's a pity that Wen Xingze always encounters all kinds of mistakes: the audition will definitely meet a related account, and the variety show will always be canceled due to funds. Before, he managed to play the male eighth role in Gongdou Opera, and the radio and television industry just happened to crack down on exaggeration.
Otherwise, with his face, he would have blushed a long time ago!
Then their company will not be reduced to this situation.
On the other side of the sofa, Wen Xingze gave way to the boss.
The boss sat down, wiped his forehead with a sweat towel, and began to drink tea.
"I was so unlucky that I ran into you two bastards." Looking at the two salted fish sitting on the sofa, Wu Youjin became angry from the heart, and suddenly raised his voice, "Wen Xingze! Say you don't work hard Well, you went for all the opportunities that were given to you, but you couldn’t earn any of them. Are you worthy of your face?!... Look at Xu Baijing who debuted at the same time as you, and then look at you!"
Ever since Wen Xingze made his debut, Wu Youjin always liked to compare him with Xu Baijing, because they both came out of the same draft. In the beginning, I was barely able to compare, but later I couldn't make it at all.
Xu Baijing has become a popular trafficker, while Wen Xingze is still an eighteenth-tier celebrity.
He lives in a ten-square-meter basement, rides a small tricycle, and occasionally goes out to set up a stall selling home-grown leeks, living like a retired old man. Wu Youjin was always cautious, but after all these years, he almost turned into lemon essence.
Wen Xingze: "..."
Wen Xingze thought to himself, how can he compare with Xu Baijing, who is the appointed protagonist of the novel, while he is a poor cannon fodder in the control group.
Yes, Wen Xingze lives in a book.
The name of this book is "The Rich Koi is Super Rich". As the name suggests, the protagonist Xu Baijing is the popular flow of the koi's life and five rich fathers.
And Wen Xingze is his control group, who was born poor but greedy for glory, because he was jealous of the protagonist and persistently opposed him, and ended up miserable.
The last time the original owner appeared was towards the end. The protagonist sees the original owner who became a car repairer in a car repair shop. The original owner was covered in dirt, his stunning face was hidden behind the engine oil, his whole body was numb and sluggish, and he couldn't recognize the main character anymore.
The protagonist felt pity and gave the original owner a few banknotes, and the original owner knelt down in gratitude.
Then got sprayed in the face by Lamborghini's car exhaust.
In short, poverty is the life given to Wen Xingze by this book.
One time he even bought a lottery ticket and won 20,000 yuan, but was robbed before it was deposited in the bank. He broke his leg and paid for medical expenses. Wen Xingze's money could never exceed four figures.
Since one is born poor, it is even more impossible to become popular, after all, once popular, one will definitely make money, which violates one's destiny.
"..."
After Wen Xingze briefly recalled the plot, Wu Youjin over there was still chattering: "It's been five years, and the salesmen on the sales account are all more popular than you—forget it, it's meaningless to say these things now, at least the broker One person."
Only then did Wen Xingze realize that Wu Youjin's tone was wrong. He said, why does it feel that the other party's tone is particularly mean and irritable today, it turns out that it is...
"Our company is going out of business?"
Wu Youjin: "Hmph, ask him." He pointed to the boss.
The boss desperately wiped his forehead with a sweat towel.
After a while, the boss was so stared at by Wu Youjin that he was about to cry, and then he said weakly: "Closing down, closing down is not going to happen, it's just that the operating conditions are not very good, for the time being... well, it's going to close down, woo woo woo."
No one is even interested in acquiring a broken company like theirs with only one 18th-line artist.
Wen Xingze sat upright, a little sad.
There is always a banquet in the world. Although he and the company are confused, they have been together for so many years, and they have also cultivated feelings at the bottom of the pot.
Because the company has always been like this, Wen Xingze actually knew that such a day would come. Although it was a bit sudden, he had already prepared for this day—even borrowed a tricycle to collect waste. He planned to invite the boss to come with him if he had no place to go.
"..."
Now that the matter has come to this point, Wu Youjin can't lose his temper anymore.
After all, he, his boss, and Wen Xingze had started a business together, and the time they spent together was real. It's just that people go to high places, he can't always waste his talents in this poor place, Wu Youjin sighed:
"Wen Xingze, let me tell you the truth. I'm going to change jobs too. I'm going to Yuwen to take Xu Baijing's fellow apprentice. He's better than you and works harder than you."
"This afternoon's variety show is yours
last announcement. "
Lunch is pizza delivery ordered by the boss, the boss who has been searching and searching, finally gave me a generous hand at the end.
"Today, the air conditioner can be turned on casually, and the wifi can be used casually... Oh, the wifi has been stopped," the boss said, "Then let's play poker, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end."
When the company first started a few years ago, the three of them played poker while staring at the supervisor of the decoration team here, but their mood is not what it used to be.
They played a few rounds of poker, and during the break, Wen Xingze casually clicked on the game app. His mobile phone is a five-year-old mobile phone. When he starts a game, he can fry eggs. He seldom logs in recently.
It was also because he was a little too obsessed, to the point where he had to forcibly quit the game. It was painful at first, but after a few months of pain, I finally got used to it.
The name of the game is "Desolation: The Awakening of the King", and the introduction is "In the age of the big universe full of gunpowder, recruit a group of heroes to rule the world! Build an empire that belongs to you from scratch—"
As shameful and crude as it may seem, it's actually quite a lot of fun.
As the "king" of this world, the player must start building an empire from a barren planet, gradually expand from a small tribe, attract subjects of various races, and train his own cronies and troops. The ultimate goal is to create a kingdom that dominates the universe.
The most important thing is that this game has a high degree of freedom, and the details are very worthy of scrutiny. Several times, Wen Xingze felt that this world really existed.
I couldn't find any strategy on the Internet, so it took Wen Xingze three years to achieve the staged goal: to dominate one side.
The empire has become the overlord of half of the universe, facing the hostile country on the other side of the universe and restricting each other. After achieving the goal, Wen Xingze didn't log in for several days, and he didn't know what was going on inside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he logged in, he was reminded to download the update package, saying that he needed to update the function.
Moreover, before he checked No, the download started automatically.
Wen Xingze gasped: "Hiss—"
His traffic!
He only subscribed to the cheapest plan, and downloading an update package exceeded the plan. Wen Xingze's heart was bleeding, so he could only make up a traffic package temporarily. This is good, the phone bill will be owed soon.
Wen Xingze turned off the screen, couldn't bear to watch it again, and continued playing cards.
The variety show started recording at 3:00 p.m., and the venue was a bit far from their company, so Wen Xingze set off two hours earlier.
The fat boss saw him off at the door with a beer belly, and seemed to wipe the corners of his eyes with a towel. The sun was dazzling, Wen Xingze couldn't see clearly.
"Although this variety show is not well-known, the content is actually okay, and there is a part of solving puzzles..." Wu Youjin casually talked to Wen Xingze, and sent him to a taxi. Not long after getting in the car, Wen Xingze couldn't help dozing off.
Just as he was falling asleep.
The phone with a broken screen on the side suddenly lit up, and a message from "Desolation: Awakening of the King" popped up:
[The update package has been installed!]
[To thank you for your contribution to the construction of the parallel universe, the new function [Reverse Raising Cubs] has been launched. The citizens of the Muse Empire are looking forward to your arrival, come and interact with them in real time!]
The screen of the mobile phone was constantly on, and after a while, it gradually dimmed due to the decrease in battery power, and finally turned off completely.
…
In the year 243 of the Galactic Era, the Muse Empire.
Today is a day that everyone is looking forward to. The cabinet secretary and elf Wuya got up at five o'clock in the morning to freshen up and work. Like almost everyone in the empire, until two o'clock in the afternoon, she still didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
Moreover, as that time approached step by step, her heart beat faster and faster.
According to the reminder from Guangta, today, the "Zai Zai Cultivation Plan" will be launched.
Wu Ya had worked in the cabinet for several years, and she had only met that lord a few times, but she had never regretted it. And at this moment, she was even more fortunate: it was precisely because of serving in the cabinet that she was able to get this opportunity that people in the entire empire could only dream of.
——She got a place to participate in the closed beta of "Zai Zai Development Plan"!
As the name suggests, this is a nurturing game. Players can accompany and raise the cubs in the game, and help the cubs grow up by doing tasks or krypton gold.
This kind of game is not uncommon, and it has existed in this form hundreds of years ago, but "Zai Zai Raising Project" is very special. Because just last week, Guangta released a game promotional video:
The sky is blue and the cicadas are singing long. A young man with black hair and light pupils appeared in the screen from far to near. The tips of his hair were slightly wet with sweat and stuck to his cheeks. His amber eyes seemed to be soaked in the light of the whole summer.
The protagonist of the promotional film has a tear mole at the end of his eye.
He is tall and well-proportioned, walking through the noisy downtown on a three-wheeler recycling waste, looking careless and willful. The whole picture has a movie-like texture, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.
... It was this promotional video that ignited the enthusiasm of the whole universe. The modeling of the protagonist in this game is unbelievably good-looking, but the point that makes them scream crazily is not the appearance of the protagonist, but—
This protagonist looks exactly like His Majesty! ! !
Everyone speculates from the promotional video that this is a game modeled after their king, not only the face, but also the character is exactly the same as the king.
God knows what kind of uproar the light tower that had been silent for a long time suddenly released this news, causing an uproar in the entire universe. Not to mention that there are only a thousand places for the internal test of the game, even the reservation channel for watching the live broadcast of the game is paralyzed within half a second. Only one in ten thousand people in the entire interstellar world is lucky enough to be eligible.
After all, who wouldn't want to have a king in their terminal
Their king is good everywhere, the only shortcoming is that there are too few appearances in front of the media.
There is no way around this, after all, Wang has a special illness, and he sleeps 80% of the time a day, and he hasn't woken up even once in the past month.
In the past, Wang only woke up for a few hours a day, dealing with documents, patrolling the territory, diplomacy...he always had too many things to do. Everyone wanted to see him, so they had to watch the few news interviews over and over again.
But now it's different, as long as you download "Zai Zai Cultivation Plan", you can see Wang anytime and anywhere, and even accompany Wang's growth.
It was almost like a dream. Wuya hugged the terminal happily.
"..."
Under everyone's anxious anticipation, the time ticked by, and finally it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Cub Cub Cultivation Plan", the whole empire is online simultaneously!
