Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 145 Heading to Xiangshan
During the two days of vacation, the three of them didn't think about where to go for fun.

Either he stays at home, or he takes Candy and Lai Fu out for a walk.

On January 1, Qianbeifeng Entertainment and Crystal Films were registered and established, and Hu Xiaobei also obtained his driver's license.

As for related bank account, tax and other issues, there are dedicated personnel to handle them on your behalf.

At the same time, Hu Xiaobei's blessing ability was also upgraded to level two.

Shadow can enhance its own strength by 40%-60% in all aspects without any side effects.

In this way, Hu Xiaobei's shadow ability has been strengthened, and the improvement of his physical fitness can also speed up his pace.

After completing the company's procedures, Hu Xiaobei and Liu Xiaoli went to the publishing house together.

One is to solve the previous royalty remittance problem, and the other is to sign a new contract.

In addition, new books are published.

"Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Masters' Biographies" with 8 volumes and 240 million words, and "Cultivation of Immortality" with 9 volumes and 300 million words, have both been handed over to the publishing house.

The royalties in the contract have also been adjusted, officially changed to a fixed 20%, and settled every quarter.

If there are no unexpected problems, the funds will be transferred to the company account of Qianbeifeng Entertainment within three working days after the end of each quarter.

Since the book has been published for less than half a year, Hu Xiaobei's royalties will be remitted in two installments.

Once on the 5th and once before the end of the month.

Hu Xiaobei made a rough estimate of the royalty income for the past six months, minus the taxes and car purchase expenses that would need to be paid in the future.

The net income that truly belongs to him and can be reasonably controlled is 1066 million. (P.S.: There are also taxes paid in the company account, which are not included.)
The remaining 66 RMB, plus the remaining 6 RMB, totaled 72 RMB, which was left for daily expenses.

Hu Xiaobei still has 1000 million for investing in stocks, but there are still some uncertainties.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if it can’t be used in the stock market, it may come in handy if we can cooperate with CCTV in the future.

As of midnight on January 1, Hu Xiaobei's shadow ability had made considerable progress.

But it is still far from what is required for promotion.

[Shadow Level 2]: 2.76%
Evolution efficiency: 0.01%/hour
Perception distance: 16-20 meters

[Virtual Reality Level 2]: 12.75%
Evolution efficiency: 0.05%/hour
[Blessing Level 2]: 2.55%
Evolution efficiency: 0.05%/hour
Based on Hu Xiaobei's current snatch strength of 170 kg, with the added 40% boost of the second level, he will possess a huge force of 238 kg.

That is: 170kg × (1 + 40%) = 238kg
Based on 42.5% of the virtual and real ability, Shadow can also display a force of about 101 kg.

What does 100 kilograms of force mean?
In close combat, this force can greatly increase the power of punches and kicks.

A full-strength punch can generate a force of about 1000 Newtons (N), which is enough to fracture the ribs and damage the internal organs of an ordinary person.

A hit to the head could result in a concussion or even more serious injury.

If the shadow is used to imitate a weapon, such as a sword, with a force of 100 kilograms, it can easily pierce the thinner protected parts of the human body, such as the abdomen and neck, causing fatal injuries.

If the shadow is transformed into a long-range attack, such as a shadow arrow or shadow thread, and launched with a force of 100 kilograms, its speed and penetration are astonishing.

It can easily penetrate ordinary wooden doors and thin iron plates. If it is shot at the human body, it can cause penetrating wounds. If it hits a vital part, it can even be life-threatening.

In terms of defense, you can use your shadow to form a shield.

With a strength of 100 kg, it can withstand a full-strength stick attack from an ordinary person, and may even cause the attacker to lose his weapon or injure his arm.

(PS: This is roughly equivalent to a 65kg adult swinging a 1m wooden stick with all their strength)
When facing attacks from small cold weapons, you can also use the power of shadow to change the direction of the cold weapon attacks, divert or reduce damage.

In case of emergency situations such as falling from a height or being hit by a vehicle, the shadow can also serve as a buffer.

If you fall from the second floor, the shadow can disperse some of the impact force at the moment of landing, reducing the damage to the body, and may only cause minor abrasions and sprains.

If hit by a small vehicle traveling at a lower speed, the shadow can also buffer some of the force, reducing the risk of serious injuries such as fractures and ruptured internal organs.

Of course, with Hu Xiaobei's current shadow-controlling speed, he could already complete a relatively simple transformation within a second. Coupled with his levitation ability similar to the Sky Dance technique, falling from a high altitude was not dangerous at all.

Judging from the data on paper, he is still very powerful, but unfortunately he still cannot block bullets and will be killed by a single shot.

Therefore, you can't be reckless at all, you still have to develop slowly.

Most importantly, shadows are essentially illusory.

The reason why it can have an impact on the real world is inseparable from the role of virtual and real capabilities.

The shadow's ability to be real or virtual, the level of the shadow's ability, and Hu Xiaobei's own mental strength, these three factors together determine the hardness of the shadow after it is materialized.

All three factors are proportional to the hardness of the shadow.

The virtual and real capabilities and shadow level together constitute the basic hardness value, ensuring the minimum hardness threshold.

In other words, they determine the lower limit of the shadow's hardness, and even in the worst case scenario, the shadow can maintain this minimum hardness value.

Mental strength determines the range within which the shadow's hardness can fluctuate. The stronger the mental strength, the higher the upper limit of the shadow's hardness. The more mental strength invested, the higher the shadow's hardness.

Therefore, the hardness of the shadow is not fixed, but can float and is limited by the level.

After New Year's Day, he returned to school and studied as usual for a few days.

However, Beijing Film Academy’s winter vacation has always started early, and this year’s winter vacation is scheduled for the 14th.

Since he was going to return to the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes in a few days, Hu Xiaobei had been staying at Liu Xiaoli's house since New Year's Day.

He had informed Principal Zhang in advance and asked for a week's leave with An Xiaoqian.

On the morning of January 1, the sun kept repeating its boring behavior, shining through the thin clouds for the Nth time and gently falling on the earth.

Hu Xiaobei and his two companions, carrying their luggage and two lively puppies, drove to Xiangshan Film and Television City with a playful attitude.

On the way, they even took a detour to Yang Mi's home to pick her up.

The luggage for four people is not small, and with two small dogs, it is difficult for an ordinary small car to accommodate them.

Fortunately, the new car has extremely spacious space, and the back row of the modified car is large enough for three people to sit comfortably.

Not only can a lot of suitcases be placed behind the seats, but Candy and Laifu can also be properly accommodated.

Hu Xiaobei sat steadily in the driver's seat, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

An Xiaoqian grabbed the passenger seat immediately, looking inside the car and out the window with excitement.

Liu Xiaoli and Yang Mi sat together in the back row. Liu Xiaoli leaned slightly against the back of the chair with a relaxed smile on her face.

Yang Mi kept her legs together a little stiffly, her eyes occasionally falling on the two people in front of her, always revealing a hint of inexplicable feeling inadvertently.

As for Candy and Lai Fu, they were relatively obedient. At the moment, they were nestling in the trunk, occasionally poking their little heads out and looking around curiously. They were very quiet.

Beijing is about 1200 kilometers away from Xiangshan Film and Television City, and it takes about 13 to 15 hours to drive there.

Hu Xiaobei took the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. If he drove fast, he could reach Xiangshan in just one day.

However, he reserved a lot of time and just needed to arrive at Xiangshan Film and Television City before the 9th.

So he was not in a hurry to travel, but instead drove along the highway, stopping and starting, and strolling leisurely all the way.

Even so, they still arrived at Xiangshan before sunset on the 8th.

At this time, the main crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes was still near Yandang Mountain and had just completed the location shooting.

The drama group is preparing to set off after lunch on the 9th, the martial arts group A will start and finish work after lunch, and the martial arts group B will set off after dinner.

This also indicates that all the crew members of The Return of the Condor Heroes will soon move into Xiangshan Film and Television City and officially start filming the interior scenes.
