This man knows how to hype

Chapter 631: To the Audience Akaishi

"Aren't you guys going to pick up my brother? Why are you here?"

In the car, Ke Tianbao asked curiously.

Hearing this, Ke Xinying smoothed her hair and replied calmly, "We moved quickly and didn't invite anyone else. We just had a meal and left. I guess he doesn't like us staying at his place for too long."

That’s right, today is also the day Ke Mingcheng is released from prison, and Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying went to pick him up.

Ke Mingcheng is not married, so he has no wife or children;

Dad passed away;
As for my mother, I have said before that she has been abroad for many years. Recently, she even asked Ke Xinying for money to buy a wedding house. She seems to have no interest in Ke Mingcheng at all.

This means that apart from Ke Xinying, there will basically be no one else to pick up Ke Mingcheng.

Ke Tianbao was naturally aware of this situation, so after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is there anything wrong with my eldest brother?"

This question made Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying laugh.

"Your eldest brother looks like a great monk now. He is like a cotton ball popping out of a gutter. I don't know what he has been through in there."

"Is it possible that he is pretending?" Ke Tianbao frowned.

"Who cares? Whether he's pretending or not, it doesn't matter if it's real. Once I've handed over the money to him, we'll live our own lives. If he's willing to acknowledge me as his sister, then he can. If not, then forget it." Ke Xinying shrugged indifferently.

After that, without waiting for a reply, she also asked about Liu Nianzhu's situation: "What did your mother say?"

"My mother..." Ke Tianbao stretched and rubbed his face out of habit, "My mother wanted to seek revenge on you, but I have given up the idea.

We are a family, and it is time for us to unite as one. Why should we start internal strife? This will only make our relatives sad and our enemies happy, and in the end, outsiders will take advantage of us for nothing.

Over the years, among those who have been against my brother-in-law, how many were caught by him because of internal problems?
Let’s not talk about the distant past. Didn’t Ling Yi fall so quickly because of internal problems? These are all lessons for us. We must not repeat the mistakes of our opponents. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender, soft hand stretched out from the middle row of the car and covered the head of Ke Tianbao who was sitting in the passenger seat.

After ruffling his hair, the gentle owner said with a hint of emotion: "You seem to have grown up all of a sudden."

"No one grows up suddenly. I'm just lucky to have met you in this messy home." While speaking, Ke Tianbao tilted his head slightly and looked out the car window.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying in the middle row couldn't help but look at each other. Then, Ke Xinying reached out and held Xu Xiyu's hand without saying anything more.

For a moment, the only sound in the car was the "noise" of the vehicle driving on the road.

The noise is not loud, and it even has a warm feeling similar to the "noise" of firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year.

On the other side, Ke Mingcheng looked at the huge living room in front of him and felt it was very deserted.

This villa was his own, he had lived here before, even for several years. When he moved in, Ke Xinying would arrange for someone to come and clean it up and ventilate it, and the furnishings inside had not been moved.

But even though the interior was almost the same as a few years ago, Ke Mingcheng still felt a sense of strangeness.

However, he didn't have time to experience this strange feeling. He felt that he had something more important to do, which was to see what had happened outside in the past few years since he had been in there.

Especially, the development of Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying.

So he went straight to the study, and after fiddling with it for a while, he finally managed to turn on the computer that he hadn't used in years.

Open the search engine and search for the keyword [Xu Xiyu]. The first thing that pops up on the homepage is Xu Xiyu's encyclopedia.

What's more, the information included in the encyclopedia is just right for Ke Mingcheng, who has been in prison for several years, to quickly understand Xu Xiyu.

So he quickly clicked in to check it out.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but as soon as he saw the introduction of Xu Xiyu in the encyclopedia, Ke Mingcheng couldn't believe his eyes.

[Xu Xiyu, male...currently serving as the chairman of Ivy Media Co., Ltd., Xuejian Culture Media...Little Moss Culture Media...Binary Shadow Technology Co., Ltd., and Parallel Heavy Color Technology Co., Ltd.

Representatives of young Chinese artists, producers, screenwriters, musicians, science fiction writers...

The holder of the domestic box office record for Chinese films, the holder of the overseas box office record for Chinese films, and the first Asian writer to win the Hugo Award at the World Science Fiction Convention...】

A string of titles.

A string of honors.

Ke Mingcheng was stunned by what he saw.

At this moment, the same doubt as Liu Nianzhu rang in his mind: Have I really only been in there for a few years? Why does it feel like I've been in there for decades?

With this doubt in mind, he scrolled the mouse wheel, wanting to read the introduction of Xu Xiyu's [Character Experience] section.

But before he could scroll to [Character Experience], an avatar that he couldn't understand appeared in the [Character Relationship] below the introduction.

"Damn? Tru? Why is the former President Amei in the character relationships?" Ke Mingcheng rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

Then, under Tru's avatar, he saw a label that made him feel like he was dreaming. It said "Fans".

"Tru is a fan of Xu Xiyu?" Ke Mingcheng felt it was ridiculous.

Then, he clicked on the hyperlink of the avatar, but it took him to Tru's encyclopedia, which did not explain the reason for the creation of the label "fans".

It didn’t matter if there was no explanation. Ke Mingcheng directly opened a web window and started searching.

Tru was labeled as a fan of Xu Xiyu because when he visited Xu Xiyu after the shooting, he said, "No one knows better than me how good The Three-Body Problem is. I am a loyal reader of this book."

Therefore, when Ke Mingcheng searched, he naturally found the news about Xu Xiyu's shooting in Los Angeles.

If you search for [shooting incident], you will inevitably see [the global chorus incident of "One Day"], and then you will know about Nancy Walton.

If you know Nancy Walton, you will know Xu Xiyu’s other two famous “female fans”, Monica Corleone, the daughter of the Italian mafia, and Miranda Coco Rubido from Mexico.

If you know Miranda, you will know about the kidnapping of Liu Yutao and the Ling Yi incident.

Knowing about the Ling Yi incident, the news will circle back to the country.

Can’t finish watching.

After reading for an entire afternoon, Ke Mingcheng found that there was no way he could finish reading all the news about Xu Xiyu in recent years.

However, it doesn’t matter whether you can finish watching it or not.

The sky outside the window gradually dimmed, and the light from the screen shone on Ke Mingcheng's face, making his face look pale and bluish.

He slumped in his chair, staring at the unlit ceiling, and fell into deep self-doubt.

"How could he develop so quickly?"

“How could he have achieved so much in just a few years?”

"Could it be that the saying that if an opportunity comes, success will be as fast as a rocket is true? If there is no opportunity, a lifetime of hard work will be in vain?"

"Yes, yes, it only took Liu Bang seven years to rule the world, and it only took him seven years to be emperor..." Ke Mingcheng said this with some pain and closed his eyes. Unlike Liu Nianzhu, Ke Mingcheng still had a high opinion of Xu Xiyu.

In his expectation, in the next few years, with Xu Xiyu's talent, he will most likely become a top male artist, and maybe even one of the most popular top artists, just like Lin Yang and Meng Chengming before.

As a result, I never expected...

"Damn it, it's not unfair that I lost. It's not unfair that I lost. Even Liu Yutao and Ling Yi were not my opponents. It's not shameful for me to lose to him. It's not shameful, not shameful..." Ke Mingcheng comforted himself.

But as he was comforting her, he suddenly started cursing: "Fuck!!!"

"Why didn't I see you had this ability earlier?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier if you had this ability?"

"If you had just told me earlier, I would have been a caring brother-in-law to you!"

"Is it too late for me to reconcile with Xinying now?"

"Who the hell wants to be a monk? I was just pretending to be cool."

Ke Mingcheng regretted it.

And I feel extreme regret.

This is really like guarding a "gold mountain" without digging for treasure, or holding a "boat ticket" without catching the tide, you will get nothing!

With a feeling of regret starting to ache, Ke Mingcheng stood up, put his head close to the screen and searched for Xu Xiyu's latest news.

He was certain to establish a good relationship with Xu Xiyu and his sister, and he had already thought of a starting point, which was his two unborn nephews or nieces.

Since you failed to be a good "brother-in-law", it's still possible to be a "good uncle".

However, before that, I still have to take a closer look at my brother-in-law's situation, otherwise there will be nothing to talk about when we sit together.

It’s no wonder that when Ke Mingcheng was searching, an entry related to Xu Xiyu directly became a hot search.

#《New Paradise·Wangxian》Netflix version of 《New Paradise·Wizard》is online#
Ke Mingcheng had just been released from prison and had not had time to watch New Paradise: Wangxian. He only saw the name when browsing the news related to Xu Xiyu and knew that it was Xu Xiyu's work.

So now, after seeing this entry, he actually didn't know what was going on. He just followed his experience before going to prison and thought it was a "very honorable thing."

Yes, in his opinion, it is an honor for his work to be remade abroad.

So, while he was trying to find a way to bypass the firewall to watch The Wizards of New Paradise on Netflix, he said sarcastically, "Now, he has succeeded again. I'm afraid his fans and netizens in China will celebrate soon, right?"

But not long after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Because the public opinion on the Internet seems to be somewhat different from the public opinion he imagined.

On the other side, in Xu Xiyu’s villa, he and Ke Xinying also received the news that "New Paradise · Wizard" was online.

Ke Xinying is very interested in this drama. She has been following it since it was planned to be remade.

The purpose of her attention is very simple. She just wants to see what it would feel like if a foreign actor played the role played by Lv Qinyao.

"Do you think this actress named Haili will perform better than the one played by Shang Hai?" Ke Xinying said expectantly.

Xu Xiyu, who was operating the machine, was delighted when he heard this: "Why are you looking forward to this?"

"You have no idea how many times this guy has mocked me, saying that I act like a piece of wood and told me not to go to the set anymore. It would have the same effect if we put a human-shaped stand there." Ke Xinying snorted.

"Hahaha, is this true?" Xu Xiyu paused on the mouse, finally amused by the metaphor.

"Really! He also said that Yang Xueqing seemed to have kidney deficiency. She acted out a scene of getting angry and roaring, but she seemed to be out of breath. He also told Yang Xueqing to take more Liuwei Dihuang Pills to replenish her energy."

“Tsk~~Hahahahahahaha…” Xu Xiyu couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Good fellow, do you three always talk like this in private?”

“There’s something even more explosive…” Ke Xinying said as music suddenly rang out on the computer. It turned out that “New Paradise: The Wizard” had started playing.

So she stopped talking and leaned back in her chair, looking at the screen seriously.

As mentioned before, the background of "New Paradise: The Wizard" is set in a magical world in the Middle Ages, which matches the fairy world of "Wangxian".

To be honest, Xu Xiyu also had some expectations for this film. After all, he was also a loyal player of "The Witcher" series of games.

However, the "Wizard" on Earth has already been filmed as a defense. This "New Paradise·Wizard", adapted from "New Paradise·Wangxian", made Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying tremble.

Good guy.

It starts with a close-up of the dark-skinned heroine with dreadlocks and eyes that seem to be eight kilometers apart, and then comes the "philosophical confession" with a very American flavor.

"Hurry in." Ke Xinying didn't have the patience to listen to that old-fashioned talk, so she reached out and tapped the direction key twice.

But it would have been better if she hadn't knocked. The scene after knocking almost blinded her.

A plus-sized "female (or male?)" bar prostitute who looked like she might weigh 200 pounds and resembled the 19-year-old transgender beauty pageant champion in the United States was feeding red wine to a customer mouth-to-mouth.

"What the hell?" Xu Xiyu was dumbfounded. No, what was going on? Was he deliberately trying to dissuade the audience?

Before he could say anything more, the scene changed and a man's voice-over sounded:
“This is the best world, full of undefined beauty, freedom and tolerance. We can have the most perfect experience here.”

Along with the narration, the male protagonist and his best friend appeared on a steam airship and cheered loudly: "Leo, this is the Wizarding World, the largest immersive park under the Moss Group!"

Here, the scene in "New Paradise: Wangxian" where the character appears through a flying magic weapon is obviously borrowed.

But this is not important. What is important is that Ke Xinying asked with wide eyes: "Wait a minute, what is the name of this character? Leo? Isn't this your English name?"

This question made Xu Xiyu embarrassed.

Damn you.

On purpose, right?
Why call him Leo when there are so many other names?

You're not going to arrange some love story between this guy named Leo and the heroine, are you?

You're not going to arrange for this guy named Leo to have any passionate sex scenes with that 200-pound beauty pageant champion, are you?
Hey!
It is said that whatever you think of will come true.

This Leo's main male supporting role, after entering the tavern with the male protagonist, actually flirted with the 200-pound tavern prostitute.

then……

"Have a wonderful night, Leo." The male protagonist hugged a big-breasted blonde girl, raised his glass to Leo, and then watched Leo and the 200-pound man go upstairs.

"Wow!!! Are you here to disgust me on purpose?" Xu Xiyu couldn't bear to watch it anymore. What the hell was this video?
If you shoot it like this, I won’t be able to watch it even if the plot is extremely good.

In fact, it was not just Xu Xiyu who couldn’t stand it, netizens couldn’t stand it either.

On the domestic Internet, in the comment section of the relevant news, the comments are about to explode.
