Sunday Wang: “The novel has been updated. I’ve uploaded another chapter!”
Angel Wings: “Finally! Sunday, let me check it out… Oh, awesome! This is it! Haha, Sunday, your novel is going to be a hit! It’s really incredible. I can’t get enough of it!”
Isn’t that a sure thing? My novel is “Battle Through the Heavens!”
Sunday Wang: “Hehe, for sure. It took more than five hours to solve the error, f*ck. Right, what’s the situation like on Longshan? Are they still denouncing me?”
Angel Wings: “Hm, it’s still going on. What’s your plan, Sunday?”
What should I do? Fight back, of course!
But considering the timeline, I have to plan carefully.
Sunday Wang: “I was thinking about fighting back, but then I had a look at the data. Hehe, the more they talk about it, the faster my bookmarks increase. I don’t think we have to rush; just let him be smug for a day. Once he loses momentum, we’ll do something then!”
Damn, I’ll let you enjoy your victory today, but the day I’m lucky will be the day you fall!
Angel Wings: “Okay, no problem! What are you planning to do then? It’ll be difficult to defuse the situation if you can’t provide any new evidence; that’s the biggest problem. Right, Sunday, do you know the leader?”
Sunday Wang: “No. I’m also surprised a leader suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There’s only 20,000 words in my novel. It’s normal to get rewards, but I really don’t know where this leader came from.”
Angel Wings: “It wasn’t you?”
Sunday Wang: “Of course not. My novel’s popularity has already increased. Why would I need to do more?”
The thing is, where can I get so much money to reward myself…
Angel Wings: “Hm, I agree. The main problem now is that there isn’t a solution. You know, he’s using your status as a newbie to make up this story. If you can’t take out some new evidence, he can continue doing that, which will be troublesome.”
For somebody else, finding evidence in this situation would be difficult.
But for the impressive Sunday, it was nothing!
Sunday Wang: “Hehe, don’t worry. I have an idea!”
I’ve already worked out a plan. Everything’s ready. I just need some luck!
…
Wang Hao was now surfing the Internet and was supposed to be minding his own business at first. However, when everybody on set was busy doing their jobs, they found it unfair when they saw him sitting and relaxing, and they weren’t happy about it…
A gofer from the crew then went over to Coordinator Zhou and said, “Coordinator Zhou, isn’t Wang Hao going too far? We’re working so hard here and he’s just sitting there playing with the computer. Even if he has a bit of a background, isn’t this too much?”
Coordinator Zhou glanced at him and said, “I’ll treat you the same way if you can get us one million yuan in funds.”
“That…” The gofer was lost for words, and walked away, looking crestfallen.
But what he said did make Coordinator Zhou think.
Nobody cared if Wang Hao didn’t come, but it wouldn’t look good if he came and just did his own thing. Coordinator Zhou pondered for a while, then went to Director Gao and said softly, “Director Gao, look at Wang Hao. I know he has a strong background and got us a lot of sponsorships, but we can’t just let him sit there all day. Our crew members are starting to get upset about it; look at them…”
“Of course I understand.” Director Gao shrugged his shoulders. “But what else can we do? He amended our script on his first day of work. I’ve read Li Fei’s revised version. It is indeed a lot better, and he’s now Mr. Li’s apprentice as well. Besides, he got us two big sponsorships: the extra two million from Master Wayward Ren, and the one million from the Bai family. So, tell me, what should I do?”
“I know, but I’m afraid it’ll affect the crew’s morale.” Coordinator Zhou knew very well what Director Gao meant.
So much had changed in a good way since Wang Hao joined the crew two days ago, so anyone would want him to stay! Also, he had such a powerful background; who would dare piss him off?
However, inequality caused problems. It wasn’t fair to treat Wang Hao differently. Coordinator Zhou rolled his eyes and whispered, “Well, we can give him some simple work, just to stop the others from complaining. What do you think?”
“Well…” Director Gao looked around the set and saw the crew members glance at Wang Hao from time to time. He completely understood and immediately nodded. “Alright, let him work for a bit. I’m sure you know what happened yesterday. I have no idea what was wrong with him, but he turned the set upside down every time he did something…”
“I know, I know!” Coordinator Zhou nodded and said, “Director Gao, how about this? If anything happens again, we’ll ask him to take one more day off! I think it’s better than letting him stay here and become a stumbling block, right?”
“Alright, let’s do that!” Director Gao agreed instantly.
With Director Gao’s support, Coordinator Zhou walked over to Wang Hao and greeted him with a smile. “Wang, are you busy?”
“Ah, Coordinator Zhou.” Seeing Coordinator Zhou, Wang Hao quickly got up. “No, why? Is there anything I can help you with?”
As a modern young man who was self-aware, Wang Hao was very sensible.
He knew very well that the whole crew was talking behind his back about him sitting there, but he was so scared to walk around the set because of his misfortune. Now that Coordinator Zhou had come over to talk to him, how could he not understand the situation?
“Ah, it’s no big deal.” Coordinator Zhou laughed and said, “We’re just a bit short-handed.”
“Okay.” Wang Hao got excited right away. “What do you want me to do?”
Coordinator Zhou answered, “It’s nothing tiring. You just need to help deliver some props and water!”
It was an easy job. Wang Hao nodded immediately. “Okay, I’ll be right there!”
Looking at Wang Hao, Coordinator Zhou wiped at his cold sweat. “Oh, luckily, it’s going well…”
Then, he knew he shouldn’t have asked Wang Hao to go over!
The scene they were filming was the climax scene where the male character threw knives and killed the robbers. During the break, Yang Yunfei, the male character, sat down and said, “Can someone get me some water?”
Wang Hao smiled and shouted, “Coming!”
After he collected a glass of water, the water dispenser malfunctioned and started smoking… Luckily, I was fast enough that I didn’t get an electric shock!
“Here’s the water!” Wang Hao gave Yang Yunfei the water.
“Hm, thank you.” Yang Yunfei expressed his gratitude and sipped the water, then started choking for no reason. “Ahem, ahem—!!!” He couldn’t stop coughing, which caused his face to turn red. The people around him were all shocked!
Two minutes later…
“Oh, no! Yang Yunfei fainted!” a clueless crew member yelled.
Coordinator Zhou was speechless.
Director Gao was speechless.
Wang Hao was speechless.
