Cross the road of the director

After seeing off Zhang Xinrong, Lu Jue finally had some free time. However, when he was about to take a break, the alarm of the memo on his mobile phone rang, reminding him that he still had things to deal with today.

23: 00.

He must have not slept at this time.

Lu Jue reopened the laptop, logged into the shopping website to confirm where the gift was, and then called his cousin Xiang Chen.While waiting, he went to the official website to look at Xiangchen's team's recent record, and studied the popularity of e-sports competitions online.

"Hello? Cousin, what's the matter?"

The moment the phone was connected, Xiang Chen's energetic voice came immediately.

Affected by his emotions, Lu Jue involuntarily hooked his lips into a smile and said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, Xiang Chen, I am here to wish you a happy birthday in advance."

When Xiang Chen heard it, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Birthday? Oh, I forgot about my birthday if you didn't tell me. Brother, you are too. Isn't it just a birthday? How troublesome it is for you to call to wish you special at night ah……"

"Don't pretend, you kid, you must have been waiting for a long time?"

Lu Jue retorted with a smile.

Xiang Chen on the other end of the phone smirked and didn't answer.

Over the years, Xiang Chen has not been in close contact with his cousin Lu Jue, but no matter what happens, his cousin can give him the best advice.Over time, he didn't say anything on the surface, but actually relied heavily on his cousin Lu Jue.When the two chatted, he also liked to be playful and cute, and he didn't care about face at all.

Lu Jue said, "Your gift is on the way. If nothing happens, you will receive it tomorrow."

Xiang Chen hammered the pillow excitedly, and asked, "Ooooh, brother, what gift did you buy me this time? That peripheral I like so much? Or the game on my wish list? Or the game skin is not bad... "No one would dislike a gift, at least he wouldn't, he likes his cousin's gift the most.

"The games you like are available every day. No matter how rich your brother is, he can't buy them all. You'll know the gifts yourself when the time comes."

Lu Jue interrupted him coldly.

Xiang Chen was aggrieved and expressed his understanding.Afterwards, he stopped asking about the gift, and instead talked about his recent situation as usual.

Lu Jue chatted with him for a while, then suddenly asked, "By the way, is your team changing investors recently?"

"...Uh, brother, how do you know? I've also heard some gossip here, but this may not be possible. You know, our boss is very rich, so don't worry."

Xiang Chen didn't take it seriously, and didn't think the team would change their boss.

Thinking about it, the current owner of Team Xiangchen is the largest real estate developer in Haishi, with abundant funds, and he is willing to spend money on their team.

If he remembered correctly, their team had just changed to new equipment last week, and it didn't look like there was a financial problem at all.

"Changing bosses may not necessarily be a matter of funds."

Lu Jue said meaningfully.

Xiang Chen didn't understand finance or operations, but he knew that his cousin wouldn't just talk about it.After thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back and asked for details.

Lu Jue smiled and said nothing. After a long time, he reminded: "E-sports is a new industry, and it is also an investment. Isn't it good to invest in more profitable projects?"

Xiang Chen: "..."

indeed.

As Lu Jue said, e-sports competitions have gradually come into the public eye in recent years, but the bonuses and share they can get every year are extremely limited, not to mention some teams that can't even enter the top four.

Just because the boss is not short of money doesn't mean he doesn't want to make money.

According to Xiang Chen's understanding, this boss has invested in their team for a year or two.In contrast, the rate of return is probably a small profit, right?Just for this point, it is reasonable for the boss to give up investment.

"You don't have to worry too much about changing the boss. What I'm saying now is just to remind you."

Lu Jue comforted his cousin and said, "You are the main player in the team now, and the investors will not just replace the main players. During this time, you should train hard, and you can try to play live broadcasts when you have nothing to do... "

"live streaming?"

Suddenly, Xiang Chen interrupted his cousin, and quickly asked: "Cousin, is the live broadcast you're talking about the one I thought of? A live broadcast of e-sports games? How do you play this?"

He wasn't worried about the replacement, but was a little interested in the live broadcast that his brother said.You know, Lu Jue never does useless work, let him play live broadcast now?Must know something.

As a gaming nerd, Xiang Chen spends most of his time on the computer, so he naturally knows a little about live broadcasting.

Now in 2025, live broadcast platforms are beginning to rise, and the audience is mainly young men.Therefore, the live broadcast platform still mainly promotes girls, food, dance and so on.There are also game live broadcasts, but due to the uneven level of anchors, the number of fans has never surpassed that of female anchors.

"I remember you especially liked Suan Suiannian when you were playing games?"

Lu Jue reminded.

Xiang Chen became dumb, and explained embarrassingly: "I... I'll just talk casually, I don't know what I'm talking about."

Lu Jue was lucky enough to see Xiang Chen playing games.

He couldn't be sure how well Xiang Chen played the game, the only thing he could be sure of was that he was really good at chattering, he was simply Huang Shaotian from another world.

To be honest, Xiang Chen's voice was soft and cute, but he couldn't stop his talkativeness, the quantity caused a qualitative change, and the noisy people's ears hurt.

This is a feature.

Lu Jue didn't know if the audience would accept Xiang Chen's style, and now he only hoped that his cousin would not miss any chance.Live broadcasting is an inevitable trend, and game anchors are the most important part. Join early to gain an advantage.

With this in mind, Lu Jue briefly popularized the characteristics of game live broadcasting.In order not to cause too much burden to his cousin, he didn't mention too much about the prospect of live broadcasting, but only asked him to share more game tips and so on with fans.

"Brother, I know what you mean, I will find time to play."

Xiang Chen patted his chest to assure.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and said: "By the way, Aunt Cao's application has been approved. Brother, Aunt Cao asked me to thank you, and also gave me a lot of special products, and asked me to pass them on to you."

Hearing this, Lu Jue said with a rare smile in his voice, "Passed? That's really great. For special products, you can eat them yourself. Thank Aunt Cao for the special products for me."

Xiang Chen: "... Let me be the sounding board again? I know, I know, I will tell Aunt Cao."

Aunt Cao is the cooking aunt of Xiang Chen and his team.She encountered some difficulties last year, and Lu Jue indirectly offered some suggestions, which helped Aunt Cao a lot.

The two talked for a while, or Xiang Chen unilaterally complained about Xiang Lingling, and they didn't hang up the phone until twelve o'clock.

The next day.

Xiang Chen got up early, packed up with his teammates, and then sat in his seat for training.During training, he would glance at his phone every once in a while, feeling restless.

Near noon, the courier call Xiang Chen had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

When he brought Lu Jue's gift back to the training room, his teammates who were familiar with him had already gathered around him, very curious about the package in his hand.

"Wow--"

"Xiang Chen! You actually bought this brand of keyboard? What a shame!"

"...Wait, why is there still a computer host? It is still installed? And this? Why did you buy a microphone? The quality of this microphone is too good? What are you doing?"

Xiang Chen hugged the keyboard he had dreamed of, with a smile on his face, and couldn't stop it.

He carefully put the things aside, and then saw the letter written by his cousin Lu Jue.In the letter, I wished him a happy birthday again, and then said that the host computer and the microphone were both tools for his live broadcast, and I hope he likes it.

"Xiang Chen, don't you have a main computer in your bedroom? Why did you buy another one?"

Holding the gift, Xiang Chen smirked and said, "I bought the one for the bedroom myself. It's my brother's gift. It's different. By the way, Xiao Wu, don't you really want my computer? Take it! I will I'm going to use my brother to give me my baby!"

Little Five: "..."

I hate this crazy brother Xuan!

As an emerging profession, e-sports players are not recognized by the public.

The parents of many people in the team were extremely opposed, and some even severed ties with their families and came here.As an e-sports person, Xiang Chen's cousin is very supportive and even respects them, which makes them very jealous.

Usually Xiang Chen likes to show off his brother, but this time Lu Jue gave him such a good gift, how could he resist it?Thinking of this, the people around immediately dispersed, not wanting to talk to Xiang Chen anymore.

Xiang Chen ignored them, put the things back in the bedroom, and then happily returned to the training room.

That night, after finishing work, Xiang Chen assembled the computer and microphone according to the steps in Lu Jue's letter, and then clicked on the recording software that came with the computer.

"...Hiss! What is this?"

Xiang Chen frowned and realized that things were not simple.

I don't know what filter it is, but the self in this, this picture seems to be more handsome?Cough, what makes you handsome?I'm already this handsome, okay?

Xiang Chen hypnotized herself, and then adjusted the software.After making sure that he would not show his face, he registered an account on Shark, the most popular live streaming network at the moment, and then posted the live link on his Twitter.

As an e-sports player, Xiang Chen also has her own blog.

He doesn't post selfies very much, and most of his tweets are reposts of various interesting stories.Because of this, his fans are only maintained at around [-], and there are very few comments.

The link he sent this time, very few people clicked on it, and the number of people online was pitifully small.

Xiang Chen didn't care about this, and just clicked on the most familiar game according to the original plan.

The man who is addicted to the game doesn't know and doesn't have the habit of checking the barrage, but is just used to thinking about it when manipulating the characters.

Many players have this habit.

The only difference is that Xiang Chen has his own comedic effect, what he says and what he says are all very interesting, and what's even more exciting is that he will prophesy from time to time.

Gao Zhuo is a Shark game streamer.

Usually, when he is not on the air, he will go to other rooms to observe the style of other anchors.Then, he met the Prophet Emperor Xiangchen.

To be honest, when the first prophecy was successful, Gao Zhuo only thought it was funny, but when it appeared for the second and third time, he watched helplessly that every one of his opponents was as cold as what Xiang Chen said...

This taste is too sour.

In this way, Xiang Chen took a small step in his live broadcasting career, and it was also the most surprising step in the game live broadcasting industry.Even Lu Jue himself could not have imagined that his cousin could become the prophet king in the game world.

the other side.

Since leaving Qingkong, Chen Yipeng has been going smoothly except for being a little tired, and his mentality has become younger.However, life is bound to have its ups and downs.No, Chen Yipeng, who had been going smoothly for more than half a year, finally ran into trouble, which made him very irritable.

Here's the thing.

The production of "Reincarnation of Death" filmed by director Yu Wei has not yet been completed, and it was handed over to Chen Yipeng early.As the first web drama invested by Qingkong, Chen Yipeng is also looking forward to it.Unfortunately, due to the relationship between the subject matter and the number of episodes, "Reincarnation of Death" is doomed to not be able to star.

Because of the huge investment, it is extremely difficult to get back the capital.

Chen Yipeng contacted a number of video sites, and at the same time, he quietly heated up the value of "Reincarnation of Death".In the end, he finally sold the premiere rights to Heidou.com for 6000 million yuan.

Twelve episodes, 6000 million, such a large amount is rare for the industry, which shows Chen Yipeng's ability.However, for "Reincarnation of Death", this is barely a small profit, and this is because the quality of "Reincarnation of Death" is as high as that of Heidou.com.

In order to pay back the cost, and also for the number of on-demand broadcasts, Heidou.com promoted this online drama as early as June.Yu Wei and others at Qingkong were extremely cooperative, and Chen Yipeng even spent money to invite its video up owners to advertise.

Finally, under everyone's expectation, Yu Wei's web drama "Reincarnation of Death" was launched on Heidou.com in early July.

Initially, "Death Reincarnation" had only 2000 million views, which was a huge failure for both Qingkong and Heidou.com.

However, when the fifth episode of "Reincarnation of Death" was broadcast, the online drama unexpectedly became popular, counterattacked, and the number of views directly exceeded [-] million.

#Netdrama death reincarnation#

#The most conscientious adaptation of death reincarnation#

#Movie-level special effects death reincarnation#

Along with related hot searches, "Reincarnation of Death" was frequently mentioned, and the number of on-demand videos on Heidou.com also increased steadily.Even the original author of "Reincarnation of Death" couldn't help but praise the crew, actors, and director on Twitter.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ."

"The casting of "Reincarnation of Death" is great, right? Seeing them, I feel that everyone in my heart is alive!"

"Since "Menghui" has become popular, a bunch of original adaptations have emerged in the past six months. The result? Most of them are just hype, the adaptations are neither fish nor fowl, and the casting is even worse. Now it's all right, and finally there is a film comparable to the movie. The most important thing is that the plot doesn’t act like a monster! I love it, I love it! My sister is going to attack the members now!”

"Is this really just an online drama?"

"To popularize science, the special effects of "Reincarnation of Death" were produced by Lieyang Company of "Ghost Story of the Republic of China". This company has now been acquired by Qingkong, so I don't need to talk about the rest, right?"

"Damn! "Reincarnation of Death" is the ceiling of web dramas, right? Once this stuff comes out, how will you let other web dramas live? How will you live?"

"...Am I the only one who likes the setting of "Reincarnation of Death"?"

"You are not alone!"

"Aww! I didn't expect Infinite Stream to be filmed in my lifetime! So, is there anyone who will join me in guessing who will be cool in the next episode?"

"Need to say? The flags are all set up."

……

Maybe it's the plot, maybe it's the special effects, or maybe it's the Amway of the tap water.

In short, the online drama "Reincarnation of Death" became popular, making Heidou.com happy, and it also made the actors of "Reincarnation of Death" go to heaven.

"Death Reincarnation" is a rare novel with unlimited streams, and the original book does not have many fans, but those who like this kind of imagination are its diehard fans.

At the beginning, Chen Yipeng did not agree to shoot it. On the one hand, it required a lot of special effects and high cost. On the other hand, it was also because this IP was too niche to become popular.

However, it is such a niche work, respecting the original work, and the practice of spending money and making special effects with inhumanity has won the hearts of fans, and it also makes them willing to Amway everywhere. Let more people know about this unique brain hole and setting, and successfully arouse the curiosity of passers-by.

When a novel is changed to a film and television, the plot and picture are particularly important.

In this regard, Yu Wei did not make much changes, and many things in the novel that cannot be realized in the set were handed over to Lie Yang for special effects production.

In the end, he handed over the most perfect "Reincarnation of Death" at this stage.For this reason, he spent all the project funds, and his family even paid for a house, which is also trying his best.

As the chief steward of Qingkong, Chen Yipeng is very satisfied with the status quo of "Reincarnation of Death".The only problem is all the problems that come with the explosion.

Here are investors waving money, hoping to join the production of the second season; over there are other companies that hook up with the original novel and try to buy other copyrights; even the actors have started to make various demands because of the explosion.

You know, in order to ensure the production of the sequel, Yu Wei and the others chose the protagonists who were not well-known acting schools. In addition, they signed a trilogy contract with the main members.

Before it became popular, the actors were grateful for Qingkong's generosity, smiling like flowers, for fear of being driven away by the crew because of some mistake.As a result, the drama has become popular now, and everyone feels that Qingkong has deep plans and overlord clauses, and some even asked for a salary increase.

Pay increase?

This is not a big deal, Chen Yipeng can completely decide by himself.

However, there were too many people asking for a salary increase, so Chen Yipeng had a bad idea.After all, Qingkong is mainly based on Lu Jue's needs, and it can't affect the whole because of "Reincarnation of Death".

So, Chen Yipeng called Lu Jue back.

"... so angry?"

Lu Jue looked at Chen Yipeng, and it was rare to see this shrewd guy furious.

Chen Yipeng pushed his glasses, and said with a cold face: "What's so angry about a group of people who are blind to money?" It is recommended to continue filming the second season."

Lu Jue: "..."

not angry?Haha, believe me.

Lu Jue sneered, and said with a smile: "The emergence of traffic stars has changed the entertainment industry. There is nothing wrong with everyone wanting to make quick money. However, it is their business that other people want to make quick money. We, Qingkong, are still step by step and keep our feet on the ground. Only then can we gain a firm foothold. Brother Chen, there are quite a few companies that went bankrupt within two days of their popularity."

Chen Yipeng: "..."

Unable to refute.

Chen Yipeng stared at him, knowing that he was right.

Lu Jue said again: "Qingkong has been established for less than two years. What we need now is not to make money, but high-quality dramas to stabilize our position. Let fans and audiences think of high-quality goods when they hear our name. This article The road is not easy to walk, so we must not be short-sighted."

Chen Yipeng: "...I understand."

As managers, both of them hope that Qingkong can become bigger and stronger.The difference is that Lu Jue is more patient and better at planning and waiting. For him, as long as he does not lose money, it is a good thing.

Lu Jue said: "Have all the protagonists signed the trilogy contract? If you don't shoot, you will violate the contract, and you have to pay liquidated damages to these people. It's a waste."

Chen Yipeng lifted his chin slightly, his glasses reflected light, and sneered, "I signed the trilogy, but I didn't write when the filming would be finished? What? The company has no money, so why not postpone the filming for two years? As for liquidated damages or something, just How much could they be worth when they signed the contract?"

Lu Jue: "..."

Well, as expected of the black-hearted Brother Chen, you did a great job.

Lu Jue applauded again for Chen Yipeng's shamelessness.After a long while, he asked: "Has "Reincarnation of Death" aired halfway through? Well, while this show is on the rise, we will release the news of the second season first to stir up the heat." After a pause, "Brother Chen, those actors What's the situation? You tell me."

Speaking of these actors, Chen Yipeng was furious.

Among the five members of the protagonist group, four have asked for a salary increase. Among them, the male number three's request is the most outrageous.

80 80?an episode?Tsao, who does he think he is?Shidi?Or top traffic?No, you are nothing!You are just a small supporting role in the online drama Xiaohong!You must know that among the first-line stars in the entertainment industry, few people can get a salary of 80 yuan for an episode. How can you have the face to ask for [-] yuan?Where are you stronger than them?

Chen Yipeng tried his best to calm down, and briefly talked about the attitude of the actors and the situation of the entertainment company.Among the four, two artists offered to raise their salary, one was the entertainment company's request, and the other had an ambiguous attitude and a sloppy look.

Lu Jue pondered for a while, and then said, "Brother Chen, agree to their request."

Chen Yipeng: "???"

I'll go, when did you talk so easily?

Chen Yipeng's terrified Lu Jue looked as if the person in front of him had been replaced.

Lu Jue rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, before the price changes, sign a contract with them as soon as possible."

Chen Yipeng: "...Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." Having said that, his expression was ugly, obviously still angry.

Seeing this, Lu Jue sighed softly and asked, "Did the original author join the screenwriter team in the first season?"

Chen Yipeng nodded.

Lu Jue stared at him, word by word, and said slowly: "Since that's the case, let the original author participate in the adaptation of the second season, and let that male number three die in the second episode."

Chen Yipeng: "..." =mouth=

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yipeng was immediately stunned.

We must know that when domestic actors ask for high remuneration temporarily, they often choose to change roles or delay the project, and rarely choose to directly write people to death.

This kind of coquettish operation can only be seen in American dramas.But now, Lu Jue obviously wanted to make the male No. [-] cool, and directly sentence him out without giving him a chance to negotiate.

"...As expected of you, you are so black-hearted."

Chen Yipeng murmured: ""Reincarnation of Death" is originally an infinite stream, and death at any time is the norm. With this premise, no matter how much the male number three is liked by the audience, it is not incomprehensible to die suddenly. The most important thing is...you still let The original author participated in the adaptation, allowing her to block outside discussions."

Lu Jue smiled without saying a word.

Chen Yipeng continued: "If the male number three is smart, it would be best if he took the money and behaved obediently. If he made a fuss, we can also expose his request of 80 yuan per episode. At that time, no matter how stupid the fans are, they will have no position to criticize the crew. "

Chen Yipeng sighed: "Tall, it's really tall!"

Lu Jue smiled and said: ""Reincarnation of Death" is the painstaking effort of the original author, and she must not want the show to end here. Although the male number three is very attractive, she is not irreplaceable. She can understand our difficulties."

Chen Yipeng: "..."

Scheming boy!

Chen Yipeng silently blessed the male number three, all the original anger in his heart was gone.He thought for a while, took out a list and handed it to Lu Jue, and said, "Here, this is the investor who wants to join, take a look."

Lu Jue browsed briefly, and said at the same time: "Talk to Brother Yu, the number of episodes in the second season can be around [-] episodes. As for these investors..."

Chen Yipeng sighed: "Outsiders think "Reincarnation of Death" is a good project. The result? With so many special effects and sets, it can barely return the cost. When these investors know the rate of return, I'm afraid they will retreat? Sigh ,Pity."

Lu Jue said: "Let's look at their attitude first." After a pause, "It's still the same sentence, it's okay to invest money, but you can't dictate our behavior. Cypriots also have to see whether the role fits."

"After the screening, are there any investors willing to stay?"

When Chen Yipeng heard the words, he looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but no tears.

Lu Jue smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Brother Chen, I believe in you."

Chen Yipeng: "..." There is a long way to go!

At this moment, Chen Yipeng only felt that Lu Jue's smile was as terrifying as a demon.

The author has something to say: Facing the threat, Lu Jue said: write people to death!

Secretly speaking, "Grey's Anatomy" is that the actors did not cooperate, and they were written to death. One of the younger brothers protested the lack of scenes, but when the screenwriter wrote it, this guy was rescued and encountered a fire, and his entire face was burned. Go offline directly.

Hahahahaha that's amazing! ! !

The domestic sequel... Alas, in my lifetime~!
