Chapter 234 Rockets #1 vs. Lakers #8

I?
Cheng Yun only wanted to recommend Song Dizhi to Xu Qifei, and never thought that this matter would involve her.

"Actually, I was just about to tell you this, but your friend came to see you and interrupted me."

Xu Qifei adjusted his glasses and looked at Cheng Yun with a serious expression.

"The universe of college student internet celebrities is currently missing two important pieces of the puzzle: novels and cloud platforms. You happen to be a Chinese literature major and enjoy writing in your spare time. Have you ever thought about becoming an online writer?"

Cheng Yun bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.

She really enjoys reading all kinds of online novels, not just those for female readers, but also those for male readers.

At the same time, he was confident that his writing skills, word choice, and sentence structure were all quite good.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to study Chinese literature.

Creating a novel requires story inspiration, and at least for now, Cheng Yun doesn't have any particularly strong story inspiration in her mind that she wants to put into writing.

"It's okay, we'll provide you with the story and inspiration. All you need to do is write the story down."

Xu Qifei further explained.

Cheng Yun was stunned after hearing this.
Is this a set topic for an essay, or—

"You can also think of it as being a ghostwriter. We provide the story ideas and outlines, and you expand and polish them."

Xu Qifei's answer completely dispelled the last shred of hope in Cheng Yun's heart.

Anyone who writes will have some degree of resistance to ghostwriting.

There is a big difference between being a writer and being a creator.

Although Song Dizhi really wanted to seize this opportunity, seeing Cheng Yun's hesitant look, he ultimately decided to respect his friend's wishes.

Even though Cheng Yun refused, Song Dizhi would still feel very disappointed.

"You should know that when it comes to film and television awards, there are two awards related to screenwriting: one is the original screenplay award, and the other is the adapted screenplay award."

"However, it is not true that screenwriters who write original scripts are superior to screenwriters who write adapted scripts."

"You can think of being a ghostwriter as us providing you with the subject matter and outline, and asking you to adapt it into a novel."

Xu Qifei patiently and persuasively explained.

Although it felt a bit like burying one's head in the sand, Cheng Yun admitted that understanding it this way was indeed easier to accept.

"Mr. Xu, may I take a look at the subject matter and outline you mentioned?"

Xu Qifei answered without hesitation:
"As long as you sign a contract with us, it's fine."

really.

Cheng Yun had one last question on her mind.

"Mr. Xu, who came up with the subject matter and detailed outline you mentioned?"

"I can only tell you that after the contract is signed," Xu Qifei said, turning his gaze back to the basketball court.

Finally, the focus shifted to that figure who had attracted everyone's attention.

Last night on QQ, Yang Muye sent Xu Qifei three outlines of female-oriented novels in one go.

The Journey of Flower, Eternal Love, and Ashes of Love.

As a director, Xu Qifei could certainly see the enormous potential for change in these three female-oriented stories.

That's why Xu Qifei was even more shocked.

Although Yang Muye specifically explained that these stories were all made up by a friend of his.

Xu Qifei, of course, did not believe this.

If you have a friend like this, why bother finding someone else to be your scapegoat?
Yang Muye's reasoning was that they wanted to cultivate a female internet celebrity writer.

For writers, an interesting soul and a good-looking appearance are like fish and bear's paw—you can't have both.

That's why Qian Zhongshu said that—

If you eat an egg and find it delicious, why do you need to know the hen that laid it?

This statement can also be interpreted as the beautiful image that readers have of an author because of their work being shattered when they meet the author in person.

The good looks of Han Hang and Guo Xiaosi have actually contributed to their popularity.

If you want to combine a beautiful appearance with an interesting soul, the only way is through artificial synthesis.

To put it bluntly, Yang Muye's idea was to find a beautiful female college student to be a ghostwriter.

Ideally, this person should have studied a Chinese-related major.

This ensures the quality of the novel while also reducing doubts about the author's writing ability.

She can generate buzz for her work through her looks, and she can also amplify that buzz through the quality of her work.

Achieve each other.

After Yang Muyi stated his requirements, Xu Qifei's first thought was of Cheng Yun.

After careful consideration, Cheng Yun suddenly spoke:
"What about Di Zhi?"

"She first appears as your good friend. Once your account is established and the 'bridge' is solid, she can create another account and gradually build up her popularity by playing guest roles in online films and television dramas."

Xu Qifei's answer proves that he has indeed considered how Song Dizhi should develop in the future.

Cheng Yun finally made up her mind.

"Okay, I can give it a try."

Just then, Qiao Jingjing finished her makeup.

Xu Qifei was going to give Qiao Jingjing acting instructions, so he got up to say goodbye.

As soon as Xu Qifei left, Song Dizhi immediately pulled Cheng Yun to find a seat closer to the edge of the court.

The purpose, of course, is to see handsome men up close.

Besides Yang Muyi, Song Dizhi also inquired about Yu Tu from Cheng Yun.

"do not know."

Cheng Yun shook her head.

Just as Song Dizhi was about to question this statement, Cheng Yun's gaze fell on Xia Qing, who was sitting in the players' rest area on the sidelines.

"Do you see that long-haired girl?"

"Don't change the subject, I'm asking about that cool and handsome guy on the field."

"I'm talking about him. That long-haired girl is his girlfriend. I saw her handing him water before you arrived."

Upon hearing this, Song Dizhi instantly lost interest in the journey.

"That's it."

Song Dizhi showed little interest in Cao Guang, Zhang Sheng, and a few other boys.

In front of a handsome guy like Yang Muyi who is almost perfect, Yu Tu, who is only around 90 points, can barely arouse Song Dizhi's interest.

Just as I was getting a little bored, a group of boys wearing red basketball uniforms walked onto the court.

The boy who was leading the group immediately caught Song Dizhi's attention.

This guy is pretty handsome too, he could barely score 90.

Before Song Dizhi could even ask, Cheng Yun's voice rang out first.

"He is the school's most handsome guy, Xiao Nai, a third-year computer science student."

Song Dizhi's eyes lit up.

To become the school's most handsome guy, he must have some talent.

"Are they also General Manager Yang's teammates?"

Cheng Yun turned her head and looked at Song Dizhi with annoyance.

"Didn't you see they were wearing red basketball uniforms?"

"I know, it's a Rockets jersey."

Thanks to Yao Ming, even someone like Song Dizhi, who never cared about basketball, knew that there was a Rockets team in the NBA.

"Do you know which team Mr. Yang and his teammates are wearing yellow jerseys from?"

This question really stumped Song Dizhi.

"Lakers!"

These two sides aren't even on the same team.

After giving her answer, Cheng Yun turned her attention back to the basketball court.

At this moment, everyone on the court except Yang Muyi stopped practicing and looked at Xiao Nai and his group, who seemed to have ill intentions.

Zhang Sheng turned his head and asked Cao Guang:
"Isn't the match in the afternoon? What are they doing here at this time?"

Cao Guang didn't say anything, but four words immediately came to mind.

Spy for enemy intelligence!

After Yang Muyi made a long-range three-pointer, Hao Mei from Xiao Nai's team walked over.

"Good shot!" Hao Mei clapped as he walked up to Yang Muye.

"Mr. Yang is really generous, booking the entire stadium for the whole day. We'd like to come early to get used to the facilities and practice a bit, is that alright?"

"Okay, we're basically idle for the other half anyway."

After saying that, Yang Muyi picked up another ball from the ground and threw it towards the basket.

brush!
Another swivel into the net.

Hao Mei stood to the side, looking slightly embarrassed.

Yang Muyi's demeanor suggests that he doesn't take his own men seriously at all.

Even if you look down on others, you should at least turn around and say hello to Xiao Nai, right?
Before Hao Mei could come up with a way to attract Yang Muye's attention, she overheard Yang Muye talking to Yu Tu, Cao Guang, and their group:
"You guys keep practicing, I'm going to take a break."

After saying that, he walked towards the rest area on the sidelines.

From beginning to end, he never even glanced at Hao Mei, or behind him—Xiao Nai.

I don't care who comes.

On the stands, Song Dizhi excitedly grabbed Cheng Yun's hand, his eyes sparkling.

"So handsome!"

On the court, the faces of Xiao Nai's team members were not very good.

Especially Qiu Yonghou and Yu Banshan.

If they hadn't played against Yang Muye before and witnessed him sink two long-range three-pointers, the two of them would definitely have rushed up to challenge Yang Muye to a 1-on-1 duel.

On the contrary, Xiao Nai's expression remained relatively calm.

Yang Muyi went off the field to rest, perhaps because he was genuinely tired, or perhaps they were just playing mind games.

Xiao Nai originally wanted to have a 1v1 duel with Yang Muyi in advance, but now he has to settle for second best.

His gaze swept over the faces of Cao Guang, Zhang Sheng, and others who remained on the field, finally settling on Yu Tu, a complete stranger.

I heard yesterday that Yang Muyi has hired a powerful outside helper, and this must be the person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nai walked straight towards Yu Tu.

Yu Tu, who was dribbling and preparing to shoot, stopped when he saw this.

Cao Guang saw through Xiao Nai's intentions and stepped forward to block Xiao Nai's path.

"Mr. Yang already said that the other half of the court is for you to use, you've gone the wrong way, haven't you?"

Xiao Nai stopped.

"I heard you hired a top student from Tsinghua University as a helper. I'd like to get to know him."

Before Cao Guang could speak, Yu Tu had already walked over.

"On the way!"

"Xiao Nai!"

The two shook hands in front of Cao Guang.

As soon as their hands separated, Xiao Nai's voice rang out.

"I think you guys have warmed up enough. How about a 1v1 one-on-1 match?"

Yu Tu raised an eyebrow.

"you and me?"

"Correct."

Cao Guang was about to remind Yu Tu that Xiao Nai was trying to test their strength in advance when Yu Tu's voice rang out first.

"it is good."

At the same time, he silently added a sentence in his mind.

I hope you won't let me down!
Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Yu Tu's eyes, Xiao Nai suddenly became interested.

Can I ask you a question first?

"what?"

"You fought Yang Muyi yesterday, right? Who won?"

"Tie."

Yu Tu answered calmly.

Although it was said to be a draw, Yu Tu felt that Yang Muye hadn't used his full strength.

Of course, there's no need to explain these things to Xiao Nai.

If Xiao Nai can't even get past his own hurdle, then he's even less likely to be a match for Yang Muye.

"Okay, how many rounds?"

Xiao Nai meant that Yu Tu should make the decision, and he could do whatever he wanted.

After thinking it over, Yu Tu decided that deciding the outcome in one game was too risky, so he ultimately decided on a best-of-three format.

Cao Guang was about to speak when Hao Mei stopped him.

"If you want to challenge someone to a one-on-one fight, I'll spar with you?"

"Sure, but I'm not playing with you. Didn't you guys also find Ning Zhiqian from the medical school as an outside helper? I want to play against Ning Zhiqian."

Hao Mei's face darkened.

Ning Zhiqian didn't come to training at all today.

Although medical school graduate students are indeed very busy, it's already quite good that Ning Zhiqian can come to the competition in the afternoon.

Everyone else came, but Ning Zhiqian was the only one who didn't show up, which inevitably gave people the impression that he was acting like a big shot.

"You've got a good eye for picking opponents. Ning Zhiqian won't be playing until the afternoon match, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to have a good match with him then."

Cao Guang joked, "What, you're using a foreign player as a secret weapon? Looks like you guys aren't very confident about this afternoon's game!"

"You'll find out whether we're confident or not in time."

After Hao Mei finished speaking, he ignored Cao Guang and turned his gaze directly to Yu Tu and Xiao Nai, who had already gotten into position and were ready to start the match.

Yu Tu's ability will determine whether Ning Zhiqian, the foreign player, needs to play.

This is also their main purpose for "coming uninvited" today.

In the stands, Xu Qifei, who had just finished explaining the play to Qiao Jingjing, was also drawn to the upcoming 1V1 bullfight.

Interestingly, Xiao Nai was wearing the Rockets' number 1 jersey, while Yu Tu was wearing the Lakers' number 8 jersey.

McGrady versus Kobe?

A glint of light flashed in Xu Qifei's eyes, hidden behind his glasses.

The rest area on the sidelines.

Yang Muye was sitting on a bench drinking water when he suddenly felt someone coming from behind him.

Turning my head, I saw Xu Qifei walking down from the stands.

"Who do you think will win this bullfight?" Xu Qifei sat down next to Yang Muye and asked curiously.

Yang Muyi remained silent and pointed to the number on his jersey.

Lakers #24.

Kobe's old jersey number was 8, and his current number is 24.

The answer is self-evident.

Yang Muye's voice followed immediately.

“I’ve never played against Xiao Nai, but Yu Tu and I are on the same team, so of course I’ll support my own people.”

Perhaps it was because of the jerseys they were wearing, but Xu Qifei always felt that Yu Tu and Xiao Nai had a strong sense of rivalry.

"President Yang, I have just convinced Cheng Yun to sign with Xingchen Dahai. Now the only missing piece in the college student internet celebrity universe is the sports component."

Yang Muye turned his head and glanced at Xu Qifei.

"You want to sign both of them?"

Xu Qifei nodded heavily.

"Correct!"

Basketball is undoubtedly the number one sport in Chinese universities.

In addition, Yao Ming's promotional activities in the NBA in recent years have boosted the popularity of basketball on campuses to an unprecedented level.

In Xu Qifei's view, basketball naturally attracts attention and popularity, making it the perfect sport to complete the final piece of the college student influencer universe.

　Cheng Yun (Tang Yan), Song Dizhi (Sui Chang), and Xu Qifei are from "The Woman Who Grows on the Breadfruit Tree".

　　Yu Tu (Yang Yang) is from the novel "You Are My Glory".

　　Xiao Nai (Jing Boran), Qiu Yonghou, Yu Banshan, Hao Mei, and Cao Guang are from the movie version of "Love O2O".
