I'm really good at this.

The next day, Su Xiaoyue, who had been dreaming all night, suddenly sat up in bed.

I glanced at my watch; it was already 7:50.

She didn't have time to tie her shoulder-length black hair into a ponytail. After quickly washing up and changing her clothes, she went out with dark circles under her eyes.

The noisy house fell silent with the sound of the door closing.

However, ten minutes later, the house became even noisier, accompanied by the same sound of doors opening and closing.

Su Xiaoyue returned, followed by Gu Yan, a short-haired JK (high school girl) also wearing a school uniform.

Upon entering the bedroom, Gu Yan casually tossed her schoolbag onto the carpet and leaped onto her bed.

The lack of armor on her chest made her grimace for a while.

Looking back at her best friend's bust size, which was beyond the standard of an adult woman, Gu Yan sighed, "That's amazing..."

After taking the hair tie off her ponytail and putting it away, Su Xiaoyue sat down on the edge of the bed and asked in confusion, "What's so great?"

Gu Yan chuckled, then scurried over like a maggot to hug her best friend's slender yet rather voluptuous waist. She took a deep breath and said, "On a day off, wearing my school uniform and carrying my backpack to school, standing there like an idiot at the closed school gate, I saw a beautiful girl in the same uniform and carrying her backpack. Of course, that's great!"

"Come on," Su Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at her. "I slept at your house, so why didn't you wake me up when you went to school this morning?"

"I thought it was Monday and we had to do chores." Gu Yan chuckled, then stood up and, still in a duck-sitting position, cupped Su Xiaoyue's face in her hands to examine her closely.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoyue felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

Gu Yan sighed, "I thought I was the only one with dark circles under my eyes."

Then, quite excitedly, she asked, "Yueyue, are you also thinking about the later plot of 'Clouds Falling into the Mortal World'? Will Han Ziye and Luo Xinchen be able to find her father in the Western Paradise?"

Han Ziye is played by Luo Yun as the Empress, and Luo Xinchen is played by Bai Xueye as the Heavenly Emperor.

"Probably..." Su Xiaoyue replied casually.

She was actually quite curious about how the story would unfold, but... deep down, she was even more interested in something else.

Who exactly is that man in the opening theme song of "Bloody Youth"?

Su Xiaoyue is a beautiful girl.

She is not only a pretty girl, but also a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl with good grades, a gentle personality, a slender figure, and a graceful temperament.

Many people at school pursued her, but she felt that those guys who deliberately acted cool and handsome, and even fought each other to attract her attention, were just immature kids.

Having grown accustomed to her parents' frequent business trips, she is an independent and opinionated girl. Her ideal type is a mature and melancholic older brother.

The older brother in the opening theme song of "Bloody Youth" resonated deeply with her.

Under the dark sky, with the streetlights flickering, a young man in a long overcoat gazes at the sky at a 45-degree angle, smoking a lonely, melancholic cigarette.

That scene was so beautiful, she couldn't forget it.

Although she hates smokers, ...except for that brother.

For the first time, she, who had never been a fan of any celebrity, had the idea of ​​becoming one.

Even in her dream last night, in that very scene, she was shivering in the cold wind.

The older boy stood in front of her and gently wrapped her tightly in his trench coat.

The faint scent of tobacco emanating from him made JK blush.

It's a pity that two episodes of "Bloody Youth" have already been released, so why hasn't he appeared yet?

The girl was lost in thought.

............

"How were the results yesterday?"

In an office that was definitely not 500 square meters, Zhu Tiezhu sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, petting his cat while calmly asking his secretary a question.

The pretty secretary pushed up her reflective glasses: "Good news and bad news, Boss, which would you like to hear first?"

"Good news."

"The good news is that yesterday, Jixing Video added 730,000 new APP members, of which 720,000 were added after 8 pm; 690,000 new TV members were added, of which 686,000 were added after 9 pm; and 2.95 million people purchased advance screenings."

Zhu Tiezhu paused in stroking the cat.

Is this supposed to be good news?

Doesn't The Boss want to be a conscientious businessman who has both a good reputation and makes money?

Think back to when we sold mobile phones in Africa!

Even though he monopolized the African mobile phone market, the African people only remember his good deeds! Because he truly brought them benefits!

And they even made money while standing up!

He returned to China and founded Jixing Media, which is also a very conscientious business!

In the past few years, almost all of China's top-quality TV dramas have received investment from Jixing! Moreover, Jixing never interferes with the director's ideas! They certainly don't require product placement!

Why should I bear this infamy now? It's all for the sake of my boss who gave me a chance!

Why would they require double memberships and advance screenings without informing the audience beforehand? It's to discourage people from even trying!

You've already been tricked by double membership purchases, why would you fall into the trap of early screenings?!

And now you're telling me that the combined number of people who subscribed to the app and TV services during that time period was close to 1.5 million?!

There are almost three million people who bought tickets for the advance screenings?!

You guys really like watching "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World" that much?!

Then you'll be crying when the budget runs out for the next few episodes!

I'm not giving you a refund!

Sigh... How can I possibly live up to the boss's trust...?

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Tiezhu calmed himself and asked calmly, "What's the bad news?"

In his view, there was no worse news.

The secretary adjusted her reflective glasses: "A large number of netizens have given Jixing Video a one-star rating on the app download platform; it's already exceeded one million."

Zhu Tiezhu: "..."

Damn, I got shot even when I was lying down!

............

Los Angeles, inside a two-story building.

Today, the various leaders of the mountain stronghold are still receiving salaries without actually working.

However, everyone's expressions were very serious.

Seeing them come to him with serious expressions, Zhang Hong, sitting behind his desk, naturally turned off the game, then interlaced his fingers and rested them under his chin, his expression even more serious than theirs.

Upon entering the office, Wang Ye and the others were taken aback when they saw Zhang Hong's serious expression, as if he were deep in thought.

"Brother Hong, are you worried about the ratings?"

Zhang Hong asked in confusion, "Does a drama series premiering on a video website even have viewership ratings?"

As a layman keyboard warrior, he genuinely didn't know this.

"Uh, of course not." Wang Ye replied instinctively, then asked, "So, what are you thinking about, Brother Hong?"

Zhang Hong remained silent.

What am I thinking about? I want to know myself.

If it weren't for your serious expressions, and to maintain the dignity of the bandit leader, I would still be happily playing Connect Four!

"Actually, this show has already been sold, so online streaming is no longer our concern. As long as the reviews aren't bad, we'll have the confidence to take on other projects, and maybe even get a chance to air on TV. Hong-ge, you're actually thinking about what kind of film to make next, right?" Wang Ye had a "Don't pretend, I saw right through you" look on his face.

No, I just simply don't know how to answer your questions. Wait, maybe I've actually been thinking about this? Otherwise, why would I have invited a bunch of freeloaders like you...? Zhang Hong calmly nodded: "That's right, that's what I've been thinking about."

Seeing the envious looks in his companions' eyes, Wang Ye was secretly delighted.

Sure enough, only Wang Ye is Brother Hong's most trusted confidant!

"I already have connections for this."

Lin Muqing's words came in along with the sound of the door being pushed open.

Walking into the office, she casually pulled up a chair and sat down: "I've been contacting various investors, and I'm starting to see some progress. However, they still want to wait until 'Clouds Fall into the Mortal World' finishes airing to see how it fares before discussing further cooperation. I can handle this."

Zhang Hong quickly ran to the water dispenser, grabbed a disposable cup, filled it halfway with water, and ran back. As he handed the water to her, he asked, "Is someone willing to invest in my new TV series?"

"Thank you." Lin Muqing accepted the water glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then she put the glass down and said, "It's just a preliminary expression of interest. The other party is still observing. However, they have quite a few requirements, and it's unlikely that anyone else will be willing to take on this project in the short term."

She paused, then added, "Actually, quite a few provincial TV stations have contacted me. They all want the television premiere rights to 'Clouds Fall into the Mortal World,' but there are only four episodes so far, and they are all waiting and seeing."

It's getting better! I guess I really am a gifted, genius director!

Zhang Hong's lips curled slightly: "I trust you to handle things."

............

One week later—

It's still Gu Yan's house, and it's still the two JK girls.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere a week ago, both of them now had red noses.

The content of today's fifth episode is that the two finally arrived in the Western Paradise and found the Three Burials Master next to the dilapidated Buddhist temple.

The highlight of this episode is when Master Sanzang reveals his true feelings and Han Ziye and his father recognize each other!

Yes, the second bombshell is that Han Ziye's true gender has been revealed!

The third bombshell is at the end of episode five, when the Three Burials Master, looking at Luo Xinchen who had been tricked by Han Ziye into becoming his bodyguard on his journey west, asks, "Are you here to kill me?"

Episode 6 is the climax of the plot!

From Luo Xinchen revealing that she is actually the Heavenly Empress, to her memories, to her final decision to unite the human world against the Heavenly Realm!

In the end, Luo Xinchen decided to destroy the Heavenly Realm and sacrifice her life to sever the connection between Heaven and Earth!

And in the very end, Han Ziye sacrificed herself in his place!

Starting from the middle of episode 5, the entire hour and a half is filled with a series of exciting and explosive moments!

This climax finally came to a close at the end of the sixth episode!

The plot is intricately woven, with each climax building to a new high! The inconsistencies in the earlier episodes are explained in these two! Almost all the foreshadowing is revealed! The world-building unfolds culminates in a thrilling final battle between the celestial realm and the mortal world! And then there's Han Ziye's sacrifice!

It can only be described in two words: perfect!

Even the two girls, who are usually very easily moved to tears, hugged each other and cried until their eyes were swollen.

But it's also a good thing.

At the very least... Su Xiaoyue probably won't dream about that handsome older brother in a long trench coat smoking tonight.

However, she'll probably have trouble sleeping because of this book, "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World".

At the same time, in a residential community in Beijing.

On television, Han Ziye, covered in blood, and Luo Xinchen stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right.

Han Ziye raised his arm and put it around Luo Xinchen's shoulder, letting the flowing blood stain Luo Xinchen's white clothes.

He tilted his head slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and whispered those words in Luo Xinchen's ear, whose white robes were dripping with blood: "I'll be waiting for you in the future."

Then, he turned into starlight and disappeared.

The scene shifts to the modern era, where skyscrapers are everywhere on the television.

Episode 6, End.

Having just finished watching episode six, Liu Yan pulled out a tissue and wiped her red and swollen eyes: "Is it still a tragedy in the end? My Ziye... How did Xiao Hong go astray and end up filming this kind of melodrama... But what was with that modern scene at the end?"

She turned around and looked at her husband with her big, red, swollen eyes.

Zhang Hao felt his heart melt.

He smiled slightly, put his arm around his wife, and gently patted her back: "They probably ran out of funds, so they had to film four episodes of modern drama to make up the numbers."

Liu Yan nestled in her husband's arms and whispered, "But Xiao Hong did such a good job filming the beginning... won't he be very upset if the film fails because of budget constraints?"

"No, this is something we all have to go through to grow," Zhang Hao comforted his wife. "At least now he should understand the importance of preparing a budget in advance. When he goes back to looking for a job feeling disheartened, this experience will have helped him grow a lot."

That's quite expensive!

As expected, backstabbing doesn't exist!

Everything is under my control, Zhang Hao!

............

In a small office, certainly less than 500 square meters, Zhu Tiezhu, who had just received the latest data, was sweating profusely: "Impossible... This is just a technical adjustment! Don't panic!"
