The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 745 Extra: It turns out that you really are a Taoist of Zuowang!

On the set, a group of people from the crew were busy.

Everyone was filming a TV series. After director Du Chonglin shouted "cut", the actors stopped their actions one after another.

Du Chonglin turned his head and looked at Xu Ye beside him: "Xu Ye, how about this one?
"It's good, let's go ahead." Xu Ye said with a smile.

After hearing Xu Ye's answer, the actors on the scene also showed joy.

The screenwriter of the TV series they are currently acting in is Xu Ye, but Xu Ye is no longer involved in directing, and the main work is handled by Du Chonglin.

Occasionally Xu Ye would come to the crew to visit, and getting Xu Ye's recognition was also an encouragement to these actors.

Du Chonglin told everyone to call it a day, then turned to Xu Ye and said, "Will we have dinner together later?"

Xu Ye stood up from his chair and said apologetically, "No, my friend's birthday is tonight."

Du Chonglin said "Oh" and asked curiously, "Whose birthday is it?"

"The fan in my house has been fanning me for so long. Today it's my turn to fan it." Xu Ye said.

The expression on Du Chonglin's face suddenly became awkward.

Go celebrate your fan's birthday!
I shouldn't have asked this question!
When Xu Ye was sitting in the nanny car on the way home, his cell phone rang.

The person who called was Xiao Xu.

As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Xu's voice came out.

"Lao Xu, you're 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 during these two months.

After their hard work, it finally bore fruit.

"Ah? Pregnant!"

After knowing the news, Xu Ye, who is usually calm, couldn't help but get a little excited.

The feeling of being called dad by others and actually being a dad are 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 matters.

Since Xiao Xu is already pregnant, many things in the entertainment industry must stop.

Fading away from the entertainment industry is a terrifying thing for many stars.

After all, in the entertainment industry, the replacement of stars is so fast that if you don’t show up for a month, you will basically be forgotten by everyone.

The resources you previously controlled will also be taken away by other stars.

But this is only 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 of time.

The studio is on the right track and the projects that need to be promoted can be advanced steadily.

This was something they had thought of when they first got married.

On the sofa in the living room, Xiao Xu leaned his head on Xu Ye's shoulder and asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought about it." Xu Ye said.

After saying this, he sent out the edited Weibo message.

There is a picture on Weibo, and the title at the top is four big words: "Business Closure Announcement".

The content was that Xu Ye announced the news that Xiao Xu was pregnant, and that they were both planning to close the business, which would take at least a year.

The style of the entire picture is the same as the closure notices posted on the doors of some shops outside. The main colors are red and white, which is as tacky as it can be.

But netizens have gotten used to it.

Everything Xu Ye posts is not normal!

After seeing the closure announcement, patients at Huohua Hospital congratulated the hospital in the comment section.

"Congratulations to Xu Xurusheng. It's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to watch a movie starring the dean recently."

"Congratulations. You two should remember to find a normal person to take care of the child. Dean, please stay away from the child."

"You two are so cool. You just close the business as you say. What will we do if you close the business?"

Most netizens are sending their blessings.

Xu and Xu Rusheng have become a model couple in the entertainment industry.

The only pity is that 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, I always feel that something is missing.

Other celebrities in the entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news.

"That's great. At least I don't have to worry about it in the future!"

"Our time has come!"

"It's better to close the business. If you don't, we will be unemployed!"

The topics of Xiao Xu's pregnancy and Xu Ye's closure of business both became hot searches.

The next day, Xu Ye returned home after arranging the company's affairs.

He is ready to take care of the pregnant woman.

However, if I do nothing but take care of the pregnant woman at home, I will still have some free time.

What's more, Shen Xinning also plans to come to Ancheng to help take care of Xiao Xu later.

"Got to find something to do."

Xu Ye finally set his sights on the system warehouse.

He had won several novel redemption coupons in the previous lottery.

He has to stay at home now anyway, so he can't shoot TV series or movies, so writing novels is more appropriate for him.

He had only written one book before, "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and he hasn't written a new book for several years. It was a good time for him to write a novel.

With so much time, I would have to write a novel of millions of words.

He wrote novels not 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 Foxtail Pen, and his real name is Hu Wei. 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. He is mistakenly regarded as a mental patient. His various behaviors in the novel make readers think that he is sick.

The novel itself is very crazy. The nickname "Zuowangdao" that Xu Ye used before came from this novel.

We have kept it a secret from the paparazzi Geng Biao for so long, so we must at least let Geng Biao know what Zuowang Dao is.

After making the decision, Xu Ye used a novel exchange voucher to redeem "The Tao of Immortals".

The contents of the novels exchanged by the system were all imprinted in his mind.

The most time-consuming part of writing a novel is not the writing, but the conception.

Many authors often get stuck on a point, sometimes for hours.

Some are stuck for several months and then the book is abandoned.

This problem does not exist for Xu Ye, he does not need to think about it.

He only needs to fine-tune some typos and incoherent sentences in the original text. It is not complicated to simply type out these things in his mind.

Xu Ye searched on the Internet and found that the world's largest online novel website is a website called Zhongdian Chinese Network.

This website is similar to Qidian Chinese website on Earth, and the works on it are also diverse.

A book like "The Tao of Strange Things" can only achieve great success on this kind of platform. After all, this is the only place where this chapter is better than the main text, and the level of readers here is really high.

After studying the rules for publishing books on the website, Xu Ye registered a writer account.

Since Hu Wei is called "Fox Tail Pen", he should be called "Howard Bi".

As for whether Xu Ye would be recognized by the editor of End Point Chinese Network, he didn’t care. If he was recognized, he would be recognized.

After registering a writer account, Xu Ye created a new book "Tao Weird Immortals" in the writer's background. After creating the book, he began to write.

At the beginning, he typed slowly, but later on, he typed faster and more fluently.

While Xu Ye was 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 posting it, Xu Ye didn’t stop but continued writing since he had nothing else to do anyway.

He planned to update the book with at least 10,000 words a day from the beginning to the end, so he would have to keep some manuscripts.

The next morning, at the editorial office of Endpoint Chinese Network.

Editor Songfeng drank a cup of coffee in the tea room and sat down at the office meeting table.

Songfeng's daily work is very regular. If he is not in a meeting, his job is mainly to deal with various problems encountered by contracted authors.

In addition to this, I look for new books in the website's library. If I find any good ones, I will send the author an invitation to sign a contract.

However, it is not easy to find a book that catches your eye. Online literature has been developed for decades, and many things have been written.

Book writing has also entered an era of involution from a barbaric era, and there are fewer and fewer new authors who can stand out among a pile of books.

Songfeng prefers to read books by new authors, as these books have more spirit than those by veteran authors.

He opened the editing background and started reading the books in the library.

All new books with a word count of 6,000 words or more will appear here.

Songfeng read more than a dozen books in succession, and basically couldn't sign any of them after just one look. Most of them were written so poorly that they were not even as good as the compositions written by elementary school students.

But that's what an editor's job is like. As the saying goes, it's like panning for gold in shit. Songfeng has gotten used to it.

At this time, he saw a new book in the background, the title of which was "The Tao of Strange Immortality".

He looked up the author's basic information and found out that he was a new author.

"Howard, such a Western pen name, but he actually writes Eastern fantasy."

After reading the title and introduction, Songfeng became interested in the book.

He clicked on the main text and started reading. At the beginning, Li Huowang was in a cave, and Song Feng thought it was just an ordinary time-travel routine.

But when he saw the end of the first chapter, when Li Huowang suddenly opened his eyes and appeared in the ward, Songfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"My goodness, were all those just now just fantasies?" Songfeng was a little surprised.

This way of writing is not uncommon, but it is very interesting when placed here.

Especially since the protagonist is actually a mental patient!

He started reading the second chapter, which talked about things in the mental hospital. When he reached the end of the chapter, there was another break.

Li Huowang discovered that the things he saw in the illusion were actually brought into the real world by him.

After reading these two chapters, Songfeng directly sent an invitation to sign a contract.

"This Howard is definitely not a new author. A new author's writing skills cannot be so good. It is probably an old author who is writing a book under a new guise." Songfeng said in his heart.

The word "vest" has spread since it appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

Songfeng was also guessing the plot in his mind.

At present, it seems that the plot of this book is probably about the protagonist using his ability to travel between the fantasy world and the real world to continue growing in both worlds.

Practicing in the urban world is quite enjoyable in itself.

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 "Howard" would write next.

Songfeng added this book to his personal bookshelf. He thought that the subversion of traditional cultivation in this book was quite interesting.

In the afternoon, Howard added his friend, and Songfeng gave him some instructions about signing the contract and then didn't say anything else.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, "The Tao of Strange Immortals" updated five chapters at one time.

An update notification also popped up on Songfeng's phone, and he quickly clicked on it to read it.

Sure enough, Li Huowang took something out of the illusion and asked his good friend Yang Na to exchange it for money.

However, when Songfeng read Chapter 9, his mind was full of question marks.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the protagonist became a disciple of Dan Yangzi, the abbot of Qingfeng Temple.

Danyangzi immediately said that Li Huowang had hysteria.

Li Huowang turned pale immediately and said, "I won't eat it. I'm not sick!"

Songfeng's eyes widened.

"Fuck, I can't tell which is real and which is fake? Could it be 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 the reality and their side was an illusion.

As a result, everything in the real world froze, everyone became blurred and disappeared, and he returned to the illusion world.

Li Huowang fell into pain.

"Oh shit!" Songfeng screamed out loud.

This was completely beyond his expectations, and the development of the plot was completely different from what he had imagined.

In the office, other editors asked, "Matsufu, what's wrong?"

Song Feng immediately said, "I recommend this book to you, Dao Wei Yi Xian. If the quality of this book keeps up, it will definitely be a masterpiece and it is not impossible to get 10,000 subscriptions!"

On the End Chinese website, a boutique book is a book with an average subscription of more than 3,000, and a book with 10,000 subscriptions is a book with an average subscription of more than 10,000.

Average subscription refers to the average number of readers who subscribe to each chapter.

This is all real financial support from readers, and it is also a criterion for measuring the quality of the work.

Every reader must have his or her own preferences. Some readers like to read urban novels, while others like to read fantasy novels. Relatively speaking, if a book is liked by many readers, it must have its outstanding features.

"I gonna go see."

Many editors searched for it.

Everyone was shocked after seeing the latest chapter.

This development is different from what everyone expected.

“This book is definitely written by an old author!”

"It's quite interesting. It's different from most immortal cultivation stories."

"But the subject matter of this book is still a bit niche. Ten thousand subscriptions is possible, but it's not possible to get more. This is too sick."

"Howard, do any of you know this author?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"This is weird. How could an old author suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

The online literature circle is actually very small. Authors on Zhongdian Chinese website also have their own circles. Even if you don’t know the author, you can find someone who knows him or her by asking around.

It is rare to find an author like Howard who emerges out of nowhere.

But the editors didn’t think much about it, maybe some authors are just so low-key.

On the other side, Xu Ye was also taking care of Xiao Xu while typing.

After a few days, "Dao Guiyixian" was recommended on the End Point Chinese website.

Being on the recommended list means exposure, and what follows is readers' comments.

Some readers found it difficult to accept this kind of description of immortal cultivators at first.

In everyone's impression, cultivators have an immortal demeanor, but the cultivators in this book are all like monsters, as perverted as they can be, and many descriptions even look a bit disgusting.

"There's something really wrong with this book. The author's mental state is definitely problematic!"

"No buddy, your protagonist is really cruel!"

"I seriously doubt that this author came out of a mental hospital!"

"I feel like my mental state is getting a little off track as I watch this."

Although some readers said they could not accept it, some readers still said it was well written.

A week later, "The Dao of Immortals" successfully advanced to the next round of recommendations and entered the top 50 of the new book list.

The data is not that explosive, which is pretty good for a new account.

Some online writers have also noticed this book.

There is no way, this book is so uniquely written, I have never seen it before.

Cthulhu elements are not new, but this is the first time they have seen a novel that combines these Chinese elements with Cthulhu.

"This is definitely an old thing. Where did the author come from?"

"How come I was pushed off the new book list?"

“Who knows this author?”

A group of authors searched around but couldn't find any information about Howard.

Howard doesn't have a readership, and never responds to readers' comments in the comment section. He just updates his blog on time at noon every day.

Each update is not more or less, just about 10,000 words.

With large quantity and regular updates, the performance of "Daoguiyixian" is getting better and better.

When the novel was updated to 100,000 words, it had already reached ninth place on the new book list.

Books that can make it into 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 were discussing "The Tao of Strange Immortals".

"Have you read Dao Wei Yi Xian? This book is really crazy and the author is really sick!"

"Is this author really in a mental hospital? The updates are so punctual every day. Is it because the doctor wants to collect cell phones?"

"I quite like reading this kind of book, but the subject matter is still too niche and there are still not many readers."

“Give me an estimate of the first order for this book.”

The so-called first order refers to the number of subscriptions within 24 hours after the first chapter of a novel is put on the shelves.

Based on this data, we can basically see whether the performance of this book is good or not.

At this time, an author named "Drifting Away" spoke.

[Far From Now: His first order will definitely not exceed 3,000! 】

In an instant, the other authors in the group started to joke.

"You can't say that others can't exceed 2990 just because the first order of your new book is ."

"I had the opportunity to place an initial order for a quality product, but I didn't expect that I would be short of ten in the end."

"It's okay. No one will know unless you tell anyone."

"Send the red envelope immediately, or I will spread this to all the authors!"

Soon, the group's building went astray.

This is also normal.

On Earth, the popularity of "The Tao of Immortals" did not become popular when the book was first published, but became popular later.

When this book was first put on the shelves, the first order was just over 3,000. No one thought that the book would eventually have an average order of over 100,000, becoming a phenomenal work.

Xu Ye has no plans to advertise this book for the time being.

The main text of the novel has not been updated to the point where Zuowang Dao comes out, so it’s not time to promote it yet!

When the number of words in the novel was almost the same, Xu Ye went directly to Songfeng and applied for early listing.

Logically, it will take some time before his 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 their new book season.

Song Feng tried to persuade Xu Ye to extend the period of publication of his new book so as to attract more readers.

But Xu Ye didn't care about that at all.

After all, he knew that this book would be a hit and readers would accumulate sooner or later.

In the end, Songfeng had no choice but to arrange for Xu Ye to put the product on the shelves.

One day before the book was put on the shelves, at noon, after the new chapter was updated, Xu Ye sent a notice for the book to be put on the shelves.

"It will be available at 12 noon tomorrow."

This confused a group of readers.

"That's all you have to say about your launch?"

“It’s on the shelves now?”

"Did the doctor take your phone? Can't you say a few more words?"

No matter what the readers say, we should still support it.

The next day, "Dao Guiyixian" was updated on time, with five chapters updated at one time.

Chapters 92 to 96.

Li Huowang wants to catch an evil spirit called the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month and give it to Master Jingxin to help him get rid of the Danyangzi on his body.

Readers were caught off guard and thought it was just an ordinary chapter on the shelves.

Everyone clicked subscribe and started watching.

After this period of following the updates, most of the readers who stayed behind were more or less seriously ill, and everyone felt that they had adapted to Li Huowang's mental state.

Li Huowang went to catch the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and halfway through his journey his consciousness returned to the real world.

He firmly believed that the so-called real world was his hallucination, in which he escaped from the mental hospital.

Li Huowang was eager to return to the world of immortal cultivation to resolve the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, but he saw the projection of the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month in the real world.

He followed the trail all the way to a kindergarten and saw the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, a girl wearing a red hairpin.

Li Huowang rushed into the kindergarten and kidnapped the children. In his opinion, he had controlled the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

But in the eyes of people in the real world, Li Huowang has gone completely crazy.

Everything he did was done by a mentally ill person.

The police surrounded him, and his mother Sun Xiaoqin also came to the scene and begged him to let go of the little girl.

Sun Xiaoqin finally knelt on the ground, saying, "Mom, I'm begging you on my knees. We have sold our house for you. Our family really has no money to compensate."

When he heard Sun Xiaoqin's voice, Li Huowang collapsed.

He was shouting "Mom".

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 is everything just a fantasy of the mentally ill Li Huowang, or does it really exist?

If it is a fantasy, then which side is real and which side is fake?
If they all exist in reality, 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 the difference!! I really can't tell the difference ahh ...

Many readers felt goose bumps all over their bodies after reading this sentence.

"Brilliant!"

"Howard, I can't tell the difference!"

"I've read more than 100,000 words, but I still don't understand!"

"Howard, you are really sick! Hey, why does this sentence sound familiar?"

After a group of readers finished reading the chapters that were put on the shelves, this famous scene in "The Tao of Immortals" was spread among the readers.

This famous scene began to circulate in reader groups, forums, and some novel forums.

Not only Li Huowang can't tell the difference, the readers can't tell the difference either.

A group of online writers also caught the news.

Unlike the readers, everyone is more curious about who Howard is.

Judging from the writing skills, this is definitely not the work of a new author, but a veteran one.

Jianxing Jianyuan searched again in various chat groups, but found nothing.

This author just seemed to appear out of nowhere.

The next day, the first order data of "Daoguiyixian" came out.

Some authors saw the first order data on a data statistics website, and the first order number was over 3,000.

This is because 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 all understand that the more updates the better.

After a month, "Daoguiyixian" had exceeded 10,000 subscriptions, lighting up the badge of "wanted by thousands of people" prepared by the Chinese website "Endless" for works with an average subscription of over 10,000.

As the plot progresses, the mysterious organization Zuwang Dao has appeared on the Internet.

On some social software or short video software, you can occasionally meet a group of netizens who call themselves Zuowang Dao.

The performance of "Daoguiyixian" has also stabilized.

After finishing typing that night, Xu Ye turned on his mobile phone and entered his small account with the nickname Zuowangdao.

During this period, he has been paying attention to Geng Biao's movements.

The Zuowang Dao has already appeared. Perhaps this meme is only circulating in the online literature circle and has not yet broken out of the circle, so Geng Biao has not yet realized that there is something wrong with Brother Xiaozuo.

The two would occasionally communicate with each other, and it was usually Xu Ye who took the initiative, and Geng Biao didn't notice anything unusual at all.

At this moment, the "Inner Fish Eating Melon Group" that Xu Ye joined suddenly sent a message to all members.

The person who sent this message is the group owner.

"If anyone has information about Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia, please send me a private message. I will pay you a high price."

The group suddenly became lively.

"Who has this? The couple has been pregnant for a while, but they didn't even take a single photo."

"Let's not talk about anything else about this photo, but it's okay for it to become a trending search, right?"

"The pregnancy photos alone are nothing special, and they didn't hide it."

Everyone was talking at once, and the group leader said, "So let's see if there's anything big going on."

After watching everyone chatting for a while, Xu Ye sent a message to Geng Biao.

"Brother Biao, are you there? I have something urgent to tell you."

Soon, Geng Biao replied.

"Brother Xiaozuo, what's wrong?"

Geng Biao cares a lot about Brother Xiaozuo, as he is his only direct contact with Xu Ye.

The information about Xu Ye that Xiaozuo's brother had brought him the first two times was all genuine, but everyone was fooled by Xu Ye.

Several years have passed since then, and Geng Biao has forgotten the specific circumstances of the time.

Xu Ye replied: "Brother Biao, I have some big news about Xu Ye."

Geng Biao asked: "If you have any big news, go find the group owner and exchange it for money. Why tell me?"

"I'm not familiar with the group owner." Xu Ye replied.

The reason he gave 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, so he replied directly to his brother Xiaozuo.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Soon, news from Xu Ye came.

"Brother Biao, I'll send you the materials. As for how much money you want to pay, it's up to you."

Geng Biao replied with a smile: "What else can Xu Ye have? Even if he has any, it's worthless."

However, as soon as he sent this message, he received a new message.

The moment he saw this new message, Geng Biao straightened up and his eyes widened.

The message sent by Xu Ye consisted of only a few words.

"Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia have divorced."

My goodness, they just got married this year. They are a model couple. If they get divorced, the whole entertainment industry will be shaken.

"How did you know?"

"Didn't I work at Sound and Light Entertainment before? I also had a friend working there. One time during a meal, he let it slip that Xu Ye had someone else outside." Xu Ye replied seriously.

However, this kind of news could not convince Geng Biao, as he was already an old paparazzi.

He could make up a hundred pieces of news like this just by talking about it in one night.

The key is to have solid evidence.

As long as there is solid evidence and a little rumor spreads, if Xu Ye doesn't want his career to be affected, he will have to pay the hush money.

The hush money is not a small amount of money.

"Do you have any evidence?" Geng Biao asked.

"Yes!" Xu Ye said.

He had been prepared for this day. When he wrote "The Tao of Strange Immortality", he was already preparing for this day.

Xu Ye sent a video directly to Geng Biao.

"Brother Biao, this is what I took 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 lens, which is obviously a covert shot. The photographer seems to be hiding in the garden.

The shooting location was in a certain residential area, and it was also a candid shot.

Soon, Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia appeared in the picture, Xu Ye in front and Xu Nanjia in the back.

Xu Nanjia reached out to grab Xu Ye's hand, but Xu Ye shook Xu Nanjia's hand away and said angrily, "Don't touch me!"

Xiao Xu looked a little aggrieved.

Xu Ye continued: "We are already divorced, stop pestering me."

The video ends abruptly.

Although I couldn't hear Xu Ye's last sentence clearly, I could still hear some of it. At least the word "divorce" was heard clearly.

Geng Biao felt as if there was a big drum pounding in his chest.

Really!

It's actually true!
Videos can’t lie!
He fell into Xu Ye's hands twice before because he was impulsive. Xu Ye didn't say anything at that time, but this time Xu Ye spoke, so he can't make excuses!
"Big news, absolutely big news!" Geng Biao stood up from the bed excitedly.

He couldn't even imagine how much heat this explosive news would cause if it were leaked.

This popularity alone can last at least a week and support many marketing accounts.

If I could get some hush money from Xu Ye, it would 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. Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, if you just send the video out, you won't get a penny."

He replied to Xu Ye: "Brother Xiaozuo, you must be careful in the future. Don't give such important things to others casually. If others take them 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 inside when he saw these words.

"I'll transfer 2,000 yuan to you first. Your video is very valuable, and you will definitely get some benefits."

Geng Biao transferred two thousand yuan to Xu Ye without saying a word.

Soon, news from Xu Ye came.

"Brother, you are so nice."

After Geng Biao gave a few more instructions, he began to prepare.

With the video in hand, he is sure to get this wave of traffic.

What we need to think about now 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, netizens in the comment section locked on the target.

Married, a top male star, a first-tier star, and a good relationship, just mention Xu Ye’s name directly.

"These paparazzi are getting more and more shameless nowadays. Xu Ye just got married, okay?"

"If you told me about other celebrities, I would probably believe you, but I don't believe you when you told me that Xu Xu Rusheng is 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 this.

The person who posted this message was naturally Geng Biao.

Although most people don't believe this, the topic of Xu Ye's divorce still topped the hot search list.

Geng Biao quickly posted another Weibo post.

"I won't say this without evidence. The answer will be revealed live at 8pm 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, and this 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 negative information of another star during the live broadcast and let the star 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 is real.

He has already asked someone to check the video, and it is real, with no signs of post-production.

The advantage is his!

These three days, things on the Internet have been a hot topic.

However, Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia had already issued a notice of closure, and the two of them ignored the online discussions.

Xu Ye is also updating "The Tao of Strange Immortals" 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.

Security team leader Han Ran asked, "Do you feel that the current situation on the Internet is a bit familiar?"

"It seems to be true. I remember the dean deceived the paparazzi twice, right?"

"What the paparazzi said this time is very convincing. They should have some solid evidence, right?"

"The paparazzi also had solid evidence the first two times."

"Could it be that the paparazzi have been fooled again this time?"

"The dean is definitely practicing the Way of Forgetfulness!"

"What is the Way of Sitting and Forgetting?"

Someone in the group asked.

Soon, a group member recommended "Tao Guiyixian" to the other group members.

"Zuowang Dao is a sect in a novel. This is a novel adapted from a game."

"There are still games, why can't I find them?"

"You believed it! Hahaha!"

The group chat was very lively.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Geng Biao started the live broadcast.

Of course, he did not show his face in the live broadcast, but instead wore a doll headgear on his head.

More and more people came into the live broadcast room, and by the end there were more than 100,000 people online.

It can be said that Geng Biao has taken up all the traffic this time.

There is also a link to sell goods in his live broadcast room. More than 100,000 people have come in. Even if only 1% of them place an order, there will still be thousands of people. He can make money in any way he wants.

By the end, all the audience were urging in the barrage.

Geng Biao is like a riddle man and never tells the truth.

Seeing that no one from Xu Ye contacted him, Geng Biao decided to make the information he had public.

After these three days, the heat has almost worn off.

At this moment, the audience in the barrage was boiling with excitement.

"Did Xu Ye speak just now?"

"Fuck! Xu Ye is here in the live broadcast room too!"

"Is it really Xu Ye?"

Geng Biao was a little confused. He felt like he was scrolling forward in the barrage. After searching for a while, he found a barrage posted by a singer named Xu Ye.

"Why haven't you revealed the news yet?"

Geng Biao's heart trembled. He clicked on the person's name and entered his personal homepage.

The personal homepage contains a self-introduction and official certification, it is Xu Ye!
For a moment, Geng Biao felt a layer of cold sweat all over his body.

At this time, Xu Ye actually dared to come to the live broadcast room to urge him to reveal 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 another sentence.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

For a moment, a group of people in the live broadcast room followed suit and started saying this.

At this point, Geng Biao was already in a difficult situation.

He can either go off the air now and pretend nothing happened, or reveal the information.

Geng Biao felt his heart pounding as he recalled the two previous times he was cheated by Xu Ye.

He remembered it all.

After some psychological struggle, Geng Biao made up his mind and decided to expose the truth!

Geng Biao said slowly: "Everyone wait a moment, I will post the evidence on my homepage now."

He sent out the video he had prepared in the draft box.

The video was exactly the one that Zuowangdao sent him.

"I've posted it. You can go to my homepage to check it out." Geng Biao said.

A large group of viewers immediately flocked to Geng Biao's personal homepage and clicked to view the latest video.

When everyone watched the latest video, they were all shocked.

"Fuck, 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 section to leave a comment, they found that there was already a comment in the comment section.

The person who made the comment was Xu Ye.

"I've been waiting for you. Come to my homepage to watch my latest video."

Everyone quickly clicked on Xu Ye’s homepage.

There is a video on the homepage that was just released and is still hot.

After clicking in, the video still showed Xu Ye and Xiao Xu. Their clothes and the content of their conversation were exactly the same as in the video posted by Geng Biao.

The difference is that this video was shot from a different perspective and was shot openly.

This video is a little longer than the one posted by Geng Biao.

After Xu Ye said that we are divorced, Xiao Xu was so aggrieved that he couldn't speak. His performance was very vivid.

After a few seconds she laughed out loud.

"Stop making trouble and come home with me!" Xiao Xu said with a smile.

"Do you think anyone will believe it?" Xu Ye asked back.

The video ends here.

For a moment, all the netizens who saw this video widened their eyes.

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, which basically confirmed that this was Xu Ye!
Until the moment Geng Biao released the secretly filmed video just now, everyone was sure that the person getting divorced was Xu Ye!

But once Xu Ye released this video, all the false accusations were refuted.

Xu Ye’s reaction was too fast!

It seemed as if he had already known what Geng Biao was going to say and had already prepared to respond.

You thought what you filmed was real, but in fact it was all acted out by Xu Ye and Xiao Xu.

"Are you crazy? You two were filming a short video and were caught by the paparazzi?"

"This video doesn't look fake. It can be confirmed that the two videos were shot at the same time."

"So, the paparazzi were deceived by Xu Ye?"

"Or is this a joint effort between the paparazzi and Xu Ye?"

"The paparazzi can't be that serious, right? Hasn't Xu Ye offended all the paparazzi?"

On the other side, Geng Biao also watched Xu Ye's video.

When he finished reading it, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and his mind went blank.

too fast!
Xu Ye's reaction this time was so quick, as if everything was planned by him.

If Xu Ye released this clarification video a day after he posted the video, it could still be said that Xu Ye was lying.

But Xu Ye’s clarification video was released within seconds after he posted it. This is not fake, it was well prepared!

"Am I being fooled again?" Geng Biao was confused.

Tonight, several topics have become hot searches.

"Paparazzi reveals Xu Ye's divorce", "Paparazzi overturns", "Xu Ye's clarification video", "Paparazzi is deceived by Xu Ye for the third time"...

Such topics are accompanied by huge heat.

Among these topics, there is a word that was mentioned by many netizens and then spread more and more widely.

That is the "Tao of Sitting and Forgetting".

"Boss Hongzhong is so fun!"

"Xu Ye, this is the way of sitting and forgetting!"

"Give up, paparazzi. You can't beat Zuowang Dao!"

In this incident, the term "Zuwang Dao" quickly became popular, and "Dao Guiyixian" was also remembered by many netizens.

The benefit is that the performance of "Daoguiyixian" on the Chinese website "Zhongdian" began to soar rapidly.

This made editor Songfeng very excited.

He never expected that the influence of the book "Taoism of Immortals" would go beyond the circle.

Now even Xu Ye has been given the title of Zuwang Dao. It’s hard for this novel not to be popular!

Songfeng quickly sent a message to Howardby.

"You're going to be famous!"

After a while, Howard replied to him.

"Don't worry, it will get even hotter."

Songfeng was a little confused.

The Zuowang Dao has already become popular, how could it be possible to become even more popular?
What could be hotter than this?

On the other side, Geng Biao was already depressed.

He was fooled by Xu Ye again.

Even this time he failed before he could enjoy the joy of success.

Who would have thought that Xu Ye was actually shooting a short video!
At this moment, Geng Biao also felt that something was wrong.

It seems like every time I get cheated it has something to do with Brother Xiaozuo!

Moreover, this video has a second half, why didn’t Brother Xiaozuo mention it?

On the Internet, many netizens have been posting the "Zuowang Dao" meme in his comment section.

Geng Biao took out his mobile phone and searched what Zuowang Dao meant, and then found the book "Dao Weiyixian".

Suddenly he realized a problem.

"Isn't the name of the Little Sitting Brother called Zuowang Dao?!"

Geng Biao felt a flash of inspiration pass through his mind, and he was just about to catch it.

Geng Biao quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Suddenly, it occurred to him!

"The Strange Immortal Dao is a novel that was only updated this year! The Way of Forgetting is a meme in the novel!"

"Brother Xiaozuo was named several years ago!"

"It can't be such a coincidence, there's something wrong here!"

Geng Biao's eyes lit up and he sent a message to his brother Xiaozuo.

"Are you Howard Bi, the author of The Strange Immortal?"

In Geng Biao's opinion, this is the only reason.

Most people cannot come up with the term Zuowang Dao. The only explanation is that Brother Xiaozuo is Howard himself.

The person he knew was an online novel writer!
After seeing Geng Biao's question, Xu Ye frankly admitted that he was the author of "The Tao of Immortals". There was nothing to hide.

The next second, Geng Biao asked, "Did you lie to me on purpose? You clearly know what happened next."

"Yes." Xu Ye admitted it directly.

Geng Biao was furious.

"What are you planning?"

Xu Ye replied: "Look at my name."

Geng Biao looked at the name, which read "Zuowang Dao".

For a moment, Geng Biao was convinced.

It really is the way of sitting and forgetting!

You just want to have fun!

After that, no matter what messages Geng Biao sent, Xu Ye would not reply.

Geng Biao had no choice, he really couldn't find out who Zuowang Dao was.

……

On the Chinese website Endpoint, the book "Dao Guiyixian" is becoming more and more popular, with the average subscription exceeding 30,000 in just one month.

A month later, the average subscription exceeded 50,000, and the average subscription increased by 20,000 almost every month.

This is a very explosive result on the entire Chinese website.

This book has become the top of the entire website.

The "Zuowang Dao" meme has become a hot meme on the Internet.

But it's not over yet.

One day, when netizens were watching videos on Xiaolan Station, they saw a video called "Zuowangdao".

Everyone thought it was a re-creation video of some novel, but when they clicked on it, they found out it was a song.

The title of the song is "Zuowangdao".

When everyone's eyes shifted to the up master's name, they were all stunned.

The up-host is actually Xu Ye!

"Xu Ye wrote a song for Dao Wei Yi Xian?"

"Howard has really made it. Xu Ye even wrote a song for his novel!"

"Am I seeing things? Xu Ye, who has already closed his business, actually wrote a song for a novel?"

Most of the people who clicked into this video are fans of the book “Daoguiyixian”.

The number of this group of book fans is also very large.

Of course, some of them are just people who like to have fun on the Internet.

Even though everyone has not read the novel, they all know what Zuowang Dao means.

Everyone clicked on the video and started listening.

This song was indeed released by Xu Ye. On Earth, it was a song released on Bilibili by a person named "Dynasty 1982".

This song was originally created for "Dao Guiyixian".

This singer is also a creator himself, and he is also one of the arrangers of "Mountain and River Map".

After everyone clicked on it, they felt that the style of this song was very different and it matched the novel very well.

"Hey, worship the mountain at night~"

"Whose hand is that around your shoulder~"

"Just follow me if you're brave enough~"

"If you don't do it, don't stop~"

After listening to the entire song, netizens quickly commented in the comment section.

"I didn't expect that the TV series Dao Wei Yi Xian would invite Xu Ye to star in it. The theme song has even been released."

"This song is so nice, I want to play the game of Weird Immortal!"

"Isn't it an anime? There's no game out!"

"Boss Hongzhong is so fun!"

The song quickly topped the charts at No. 1 on the Hits chart.

This is Xu Ye’s song, the impact it has is completely different!
All of this was part of Xu Ye’s plan.

The great success of "The Tao of Immortals" is inseparable from these secondary works.

Among these secondary songs, there were several quite good ones, so Xu Ye simply released them.

The only thing that made him regretful was that no one had guessed that he was Howard.

The name of this pen, Huohua’s Pen, is clearly written, so why hasn’t anyone guessed it?

Later, Xu Ye released several secondary songs about "Dao Guiyixian".

With his help, the performance of "Daoguiyixian" has exceeded 60,000 average subscriptions and is still growing.

On the Internet, a group of people are also discussing who "Howardby" is.

This author is so mysterious that no information can be found. He never participates in any activities of the End Point Chinese Network and never shows up.

In a blink of an eye, several months passed.

"The Tao of Immortals" has also been updated to the finale, and the average subscription has already exceeded 100,000.

Such excellent results have also attracted a large number of authors to follow suit, but other authors can only learn the basics and cannot grasp 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 Tao of Immortality", Xu Ye was very depressed.

No one would have guessed that he was Howard.

He wrote a song for "Daoguiyixian", which seemed normal to everyone, as it was something he could do.

After all, this is free promotion for a novel, and ordinary stars would not do such a thing.

As time entered 2022, Endpoint Chinese Network had already begun preparing for the annual authors' meeting.

Authors who can attend the annual meeting must be authors with very good achievements.

Howard is also on the invitation list for the annual meeting.

Editor Song Feng sent a message to Xu Ye.

"You don't have to attend other events, but you have to come to this year's annual meeting. Let me tell you something. Didn't Xu Ye write a song for your novel? We invited Xu Ye to come this year as well. You didn't expect that, did you?"

Songfeng said this with a bit of boasting in his tone.

Even though Xu Ye said he was closing his business, he still came to attend the annual meeting of End Point Chinese Network. The participation of such a top star of his level is itself a symbol of prestige.

Xu Ye on the opposite side pretended to be very excited and said, "Really? Then I must go this time!"

In fact, he had known about this for a long time.

"Send us your identity information and we will help you book a hotel and air tickets," Songfeng said.

"No need, my wife and I are together, we can book it ourselves." Xu Ye replied.

"also."

Songfeng didn't say anything more.

Howard is now an author with an average subscription of 100,000, so he doesn't need the money for hotel and air tickets.

When the annual meeting was about to be held, the End Point Chinese website also released the news that Xu Ye would come to attend the annual meeting and sing the song "Zuowang Dao" on the stage.

The authors of Zhongdian Chinese website have been excited for a long time.

However, 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 Zhongdian Chinese Network so far.

Xu Ye has come to sing for "Dao Guiyixian", so you, the author, should come too.

These authors learned from their editors that Howard would attend the annual meeting.

"This time I finally get to see Howard in person."

"It's worth it to see Xu Ye and Howard Bi at the same time."

"I don't know how old Howard is. Is he mentally ill?"

Many authors are discussing.

Netizens are also discussing Xu Ye’s attendance at the annual meeting of End Point Chinese Network.

The day of the annual meeting soon arrived.

Since the daytime, Howardbi has not participated in any activities. If Songfeng had not been able to contact Howardbi, he would have thought that Howardbi did not come.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony and annual performance of End Point Chinese Network had already begun.

In the audience, there was an empty seat next to editor Songfeng, and on the seat was a note that read "Howardby".

However, even after the performance began, the chair was still empty.

Songfeng couldn't help but become a little anxious.

He sent Howard several messages but no one responded, and no one answered his Internet phone calls.

"What's going on? Howard didn't come?"

"That shouldn't be the case. He will definitely win an award at tonight's ceremony. Wouldn't it be bad if he didn't come?"

"That's right. Xu Ye has come to sing for his book, but he won't come?"

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 on the stage, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause.

The media at the scene were also very excited.

Normally there wouldn't be so many media at the scene, but today there were a lot of media, and everyone came to take pictures of Xu Ye.

After Xu Ye came on stage, he sang a song called "Zuowang Dao", and then he went down the stage and returned to the guest seats.

After a while, the award presenter came on stage to present the awards.

Songfeng is ready to go on stage.

Howard won the award this time, but he has not come to the scene yet, so the editor had to accept the award on his behalf.

Just then, Songfeng received a message.

【Howard: 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.

Songfeng immediately replied: "It's good that we're here. Get ready to go on stage to receive the award."

The guests on the stage also began to make announcements.

“The winner of Emerging Writer of the Year is Howard Bee.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the introduction video of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" appeared on the big screen.

The host also said: "Please invite Howard to come up to the stage to receive the award."

For a moment, 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 Tao of Strange Things" looks like!

At this moment, Xu Ye stood up in the guest seats, straightened his collar and walked towards the stage.

The group of celebrities nearby were somewhat 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 stars reminded.

Xu Ye said calmly: "I am the author."

After these words were spoken, the stars were all stunned.

What do you mean?
Are you Howard?
Several quick-thinking stars present suddenly realized something.

"Howard Bi, Huohua's pen! It's really Xu Ye!"

At this time, everyone saw Xu Ye slowly walk onto the stage and come to the side of the award presenter.

The award presenter and the host were also stunned.

This script is wrong. Why is Xu Ye coming up here?
Shouldn't Howard be the one coming up?

Songfeng stared at the stage with wide eyes, and then he suddenly thought of something.

When he was reporting his information one time, he took a look at Howard's real-name authentication name, which was Xu Ye.

At that time, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a homonym.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Could Xu Ye be Howard?
Xu Ye did not give everyone too much time to be confused. After he walked onto the stage, he slowly said, "Hello everyone, I am Howard."

For a time, the whole place was shocked.

Online writers, editors, and senior executives of Endpoint Chinese Network were all shocked.

Xu Ye is Howard!

Howard 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.

"Boss Hongzhong, you are so funny!"

"No wonder, no wonder, the homonym of Howardbi is Huohua's pen!"

"You are really a Zuwangdao!"

Among these audiences, there is one with a more unique identity.

His name is Geng Biao.

Geng Biao had no other intention in watching this live broadcast, he mainly wanted to know what Brother Xiaozuo looked like.

He wanted to know who was behind the Zuwangdao mask that had deceived him!

When Xu Ye walked onto the stage, Geng Biao already had the answer in his mind.

When Xu Ye introduced himself, Geng Biao's body had already collapsed on the sofa in the room.

In an instant, all the questions that he hadn't figured out before had an answer.

Xiaozuo Brother is Xu Ye, and Howard is also Xu Ye.

It is precisely because it is Xu Ye that this scam is so perfect!

Geng Biao recalled that night in 2016.

That was the first time he met Brother Xiaozuo.

He was hiding downstairs of Xu Ye's house.

The person who greeted him while wearing sunglasses, a mask and a hat was Xu Ye!
This scam lasted from 2016 to 2022!

It turns out that you really are practicing the Tao of Zuowang!
Geng Biao was heartbroken.

On stage, the presenter asked, "Are you really Howardby?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Yes, it's Huohua's pen."

The audience below the stage was already boiling with excitement.

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 is worthy of being the top-level Zuwang Dao!"

"You are really sick!"

However, the authors have no opinion on Xu Ye.

The online literature circle is all about strength.

Everyone agrees that the book "Tao Guiyixian" is well written.

Regardless of Xu Ye's identity, his strength in the online literature circle is recognized by everyone.

He achieved 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 from the stage, he walked to the seat next to editor Song Feng and sat down.

This time he sat in Howard's seat.

Songfeng gave him a thumbs up.

"You cow!"

Song Feng was speechless. What Xu Ye did was not something a human would do!

It is conceivable that the Internet will be very lively after tonight.

By the time the annual meeting ended, some related topics had become hot searches.

The news that Xu Ye is Howard spread all over the Internet.

When everyone learned the news, they were all shocked.

Xu Ye had retired from the entertainment industry, but he took advantage of Xiao Xu's pregnancy to write an online novel and became a huge success.

You know, an online novel of the level of "Daoguiyixian" will definitely be adapted into a film or TV series.

In addition, this book itself is a big IP, and the actors who can star in the adapted drama must be popular stars.

When this book was just completed, many companies approached Zhongdian Chinese Network to buy the copyright for adaptation.

There are also some fans of popular stars or the companies behind them who are fanning the flames, all wanting to take the leading role in this big IP.

But if Xu Ye is the author of "The Tao of Immortals", then these people can just forget about it.

The leading actor has nothing to do with them anymore.

The copyright of "The Taoist Immortal" is in Xu Ye's hands, and it is very likely that Xu Ye or an actor from the same company will play Li Huowang.

The enthusiasm of the spectators was also ignited, which led to the novel, which had been completed for several months, to top the bestseller list of the Chinese website End Point.

In particular, a group of patients from Huohua Psychiatric Hospital rushed to the book review section to check in and leave messages.

"This is the first time I downloaded the End Point Chinese website app. I came all the way here to support the dean. To show my respect, I gave you a gold alliance. It's not much, but it's not real."

"Brothers, Dao Weiyixian has released a game, and the spokesperson is Xu Ye!"

"New readers, don't be fooled by the people in the book review section. This is just a novel, there are no games or comics. These are lies about an organization called Jian Tian Si in the novel. Zuowang Dao is the decent sect in the novel. The author of this novel is a star in the entertainment industry named Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye also has a cousin named Xu Ye."

"This is harem literature!"

With the huge influx of netizens, the book review section was in complete chaos, even more chaotic than the chaotic northwest Shanxi.

I can't really tell which of your statements are true and which are false.

On the other side, Xu Ye had returned to the hotel.

He lay on the bed and boarded the Zuwangdao trumpet.

On the small 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 fucking sick!"

Xu Ye clicked the transfer button and transferred 4,200 yuan to Geng Biao.

These were all transferred to him by Geng Biao before.

"I've kept this money for so many years. I haven't spent a penny. I'm returning it all to you."

"Finally, I have something to say."

"Brother, you are so nice."
