Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 132 Games and Novels

Zheng Jing was not very concerned about whether Zhu Zhu would come to audition for the role of Emperor Wu of Han in the future.

The main creative team of the drama "Emperor Wu of Han" is even stronger than that of "Beauty's Rival in Palace".

Du Wei is the producer herself, the director team consists of 7 people, and Zhang Li is the chief director.

This future director, who has directed many good dramas such as Towards the Republic and The Ming Dynasty 1566, is the chief director appointed by Zheng Jing.

With these people, plus an excellent production team, the quality of Emperor Wu of Han cannot be bad.

Zheng Jing was too lazy to worry too much.

Just wait for the crew to be formed and then join the crew to act.

Inviting Zhu Zhu to audition for the role of Chen Ajiao today was just a coincidence.

After entertaining Yamaguchi Akie and her group, Zheng Jing came to Li Xiaoran's house as promised.

This was Zheng Jing’s first visit to Li Xiaoran’s residence.

The house is a small two-bedroom apartment, which is very clean.

Looking at the two toothbrush cups on the sink, Zheng Jing asked, "Are there any other people living here?"

Li Xiaoran nodded and explained, "It's my good friend Xie Na, she's in financial difficulty right now.

I just happened to have a vacant room here, so I asked her to come and live with me."

Zheng Jing didn't want to have much contact with Xie Naduo, so he said, "How about changing places?"

“No, Xie Na went to Changsha to record Happy Camp and will not be here for the next two days.

Otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you to come.”

"She can already record Happy Camp, but she still doesn't have money to rent a house? Even if we are friends, there should be boundaries.

You should be more careful in making friends.”

Zheng Jing had vaguely heard about Li Xiaoran being tricked by Xie Na, so he kindly gave a reminder.

Li Xiaoran didn't care and continued to explain: "Mango TV is very powerful, Xie Na is just a guest host of the game segment in the program.

I don’t get paid a penny, I work for free, and I have to pay for my own travel expenses.”

In 1999, Xie Na went to the Mango TV show Happy Camp with Zhang Weijian, and was spotted by the director team and became a guest host.

Li Xiaoran noticed that Zheng Jing didn't seem to like Xie Na, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten? I made some chicken soup, so I can give it to you."

"I've eaten, let's have it as a midnight snack."

"Okay then, I've got the computer ready, shall we play some games first?"

Tonight, the Lao Ai guild will launch an attack on the sand.

Everyone gather on time.

"Absolutely not" was used in the guild chat channel to give commands using text.

Everything was going smoothly, but halfway through, the mage character controlled by Li Xiaoran suddenly became offline and remained motionless.

It almost went wrong.

Fortunately, this soldier was as brave as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

In the end, everyone captured Shabak Castle without any danger.

Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Zheng Jing and said, "Why is it taking so long this time?"

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "I was attacking the sand and didn't look at you, so your advantage is much less."

Men are visual creatures.

Li Xiaoran has the advantage, but there is a gap in his heart.

This morning, Li Xiaoran used the ravine in her heart to give Zheng Jing a big surprise.

But this time, Zheng Jing was focusing on attacking Sha and did not carefully consider Li Xiaoran's scheming.

Li Xiaoran wiped his mouth and said, "You win this time. I'll let you do whatever you want tonight."

Zheng Jing deliberately teased, "It's a long night, don't worry, let's play games for a while?"

Li Xiaoran sat on Zheng Jing and complained: "The sand attack activity is over. Am I not as fun as the game?"

This was the first time that Li Xiaoran took the initiative without using PK as an excuse.

Zheng Jing took out a CD, inserted it into the computer, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, I'll install a game first."

Li Xiaoran's attention was diverted for a moment, and she asked, "What game?"

"The company has just developed a new stand-alone game. The first level has been completed. I'd like to try it out."

Seeing that the game was installing very slowly, Zheng Jing picked up Li Xiaoran and walked into the room.

“What kind of yoga have you been doing lately?”

"No, it's very tiring to maintain a yoga pose. I can't handle it if you just watch from the side."

"It doesn't matter. I can help you support me."

"Okay, can you please turn off the lights?"

“How can that be possible? Yoga is still very dangerous. I can’t see clearly with the lights off. What if something happens?
Have you forgotten the bet?"

"Uh, okay."

……

Zheng Jing discussed the various possibilities of couple yoga with Li Xiaoran, had a midnight snack, and then returned to the computer.

At this time, the game had been installed and Zheng Jing entered.

Li Xiaoran sat next to Zheng Jing, leaning on him lazily, her face flushed.

"Lüshi Chunqiu?! The company adapted the TV series into a game?"

Li Xiaoran, who was originally lazy, instantly became energetic after seeing Zheng Jing enter the game.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "This is a game I asked the company to develop, and it has many different ways to play.

According to my design, players have four development paths in the game.

The first is to play as Lu Buwei, do business and make a lot of money, and finally dominate the world. This route is mainly about business management;
The second is to play as Lao Ai, become a concubine and climb up the ladder, and eventually become a marquis and rebel. This route focuses on capturing beautiful women;

The third route is to play as Jing Ke, practice swordsmanship as an assassin, and eventually become famous. This route focuses on challenging bosses and completing tasks.
The fourth is to play as Ying Zheng, to be the King of Qin and finally unify the world. This route is mainly about national management and hegemony. "

Zheng Jing still has some pursuits.

As a gaming company, West China Network cannot just be a game agent, it also needs to be good at original creation.

What's more, in Zheng Jing's big entertainment strategy, game companies are a very important part.

Although game art and film and television special effects have different focuses in development, they actually have common basic technologies and use similar technical software.

Under Zheng Jing's arrangement, Western Network acquired "Target Software".

The company has already developed "Three Kingdoms of Proud Wanderers" and "Iron Storm", and is preparing to launch the "Qin Shang" project.

Based on the members of Target Software, the company recruited some more talents and started to produce "Lüshi Chunqiu". Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Li Xiaoran said: "Your game has a lot of content."

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "Yes, there are three regular endings for each of the four routes, and two hidden endings, for a total of 20 endings.

The plot and gameplay are semi-open, making development quite difficult.

I am currently playing the first level of the character Lu Buwei - the first pot of gold.

The task is to earn 18 gold before the age of 50 and own a shop in Puyang Commercial City. "

Zheng Jing controlled the character and started doing various businesses to make money.

The game is still very difficult. On the one hand, doing business is risky. There may be various situations such as encountering bandits on the road, goods not being able to be sold at a high price, and being sealed up by the government. On the other hand, doing business also takes time.

The first level is to save up 18 gold and a shop before you turn 50.

This is Zheng Jing’s first time playing and he is still getting familiar with the game.

When Lü Buwei was 18 years old, he had only saved 10 gold. His mission failed, and he had to start over.

Seeing Zheng Jing record a lot of game problems in the computer document, Li Xiaoran said: "I applied to become a game tester and can help the company test the game."

Zheng Jing shook his head and said, "Forget it. Playing games and testing games are two different things."

Li Xiaoran was not convinced. She said, "Isn't it just a test game? Don't look down on me!"

Zheng Jing smiled, logged into his email, and showed Li Xiaoran a game report of more than 30 pages.

"Take a look. These are the reviews and suggestions for improvement written by the company's employees for Rexue Zhanqi."

Li Xiaoran read a few pages carefully and found that this review was very professional and covered all aspects.

She was still unconvinced and said, “If you let me play the first level of Lü’s Spring and Autumn Annals, I will give you an evaluation report within a week!
It’s definitely not worse than what this guy named Xu Bo wrote!”

The evaluation report that Zheng Jing showed Li Xiaoran was written by Xu Bo, the planner of the future Fantasy Westward Journey.

This "First Father of China" was a prominent figure at Wangyi in his previous life. He gained the company's attention because he wrote a review for Westward Journey Online.

Before Wangyi Games was established, Xu Bo came to West China Network first and gradually emerged with his talent in evaluation.

Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Zheng Jing encouraged her: "That's fine. If you can do a good job in the evaluation, I can let you work in the game company."

Li Xiaoran said confidently: "Just wait and see, I will definitely impress you!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoran was full of energy, Zheng Jing was still somewhat expectant.

Although this beautiful girl is a poor student, she is also very casual in doing other things.

But when it comes to gaming, he is very serious and hardworking.

Maybe she has talent in this area.

"Then come and play. I just want to write something."

Li Xiaoran nodded, switched seats with Zheng Jing, and started playing "Lüshi Chunqiu".

Zheng Jing called up the system and checked a card in Kakuri.

[Novel Card: After using it, the player can randomly obtain a novel that has not yet been published. ]

On January 1, Zheng Jingyuan succeeded in shooting the halberd at the gate and was very happy.

In addition, according to the strict calendar, January 2001, 1 is the beginning of the 1st century.
It was such a good day, and with something good to celebrate, Zheng Jing couldn't help but express his feelings.

He spent 200 million yuan to buy cards.

I drew cards twice, one to thank you for your patronage and the other time I drew a novel card.

After all, writing novels is also part of the entertainment industry and can help players become stars.

It has been almost 5 days since Zheng Jing got the novel card. He has been busy teaching his apprentices and cultivating relationships with the beauties, and has not used the card yet.

I plan to use this card today to see what novel will appear randomly.

Zheng Jing chose to use the novel card in the system.

Then I saw the card begin to twist and deform, gradually turning into the shape of a book.

On the cover of the book, there are two titles in Chinese and English - The Da Vinci Code.

When Zheng Jing saw the title of this book, he knew that he had made a fortune by winning the novel card this time.

The Da Vinci Code is a suspenseful mystery novel that tells the many secrets about the church hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

The novel sold 750 million copies in its first year of publication, and in the following decade or so, the cumulative sales exceeded 8000 million copies.

In terms of sales, The Da Vinci Code may not be as good as Harry Potter.

However, in terms of deconstructing and questioning Western traditional culture, especially religion, its impact exceeds that of any other novel.

This is equivalent to someone in China discovering the hidden secret of Confucius in the Analects, and then creating a novel, interpreting Confucianism from a new perspective and revealing the hidden conspiracy therein.

This secret and interpretation is not only logically coherent, but also supported by some real examples.

Many Westerners regard the religious conspiracy described in The Da Vinci Code as history.

As a result, the novel was protested by the church and banned.

It has to be said that the system does create stars, and The Da Vinci Code is a novel that is destined to spark controversy.

This book was written by an American and has become extremely controversial.

If the author was a Chinese, it would be even more fun.

Of course, if Zheng Jing wants to copy this novel, the setting of the protagonist still needs to be changed.

After all, The Da Vinci Code is a sequel to Angels & Demons, and the two books have no connection in plot, but they both have the same male protagonist.

Zheng Jing thought about it and simply changed the male protagonist of The Da Vinci Code into a Chinese scholar who was well versed in Western culture. When he visited the Louvre Museum, he was inadvertently involved in the death of the curator, and thus launched a series of investigations.

The original work is in the system, in both Chinese and English, so Zheng Jing only needs to copy it.

Even so, Zheng Jing still didn't want to type.

He leaned forward and rested his head on Li Xiaoran's white and round thighs.

"Don't play games for now. I want to write a novel. Can you help me type it?"

Li Xiaoran: “…”

"As agreed, you'll be at my disposal tonight."

Li Xiaoran sighed and said, "Okay."

"Go wash some fruit, get some snacks, and pour a cup of tea."

Li Xiaoran was willing to accept defeat and did as he was told.

Zheng Jing closed his eyes, resting his head on Li Xiaoran's soft thighs, and occasionally dictated a sentence of the novel and asked Li Xiaoran to type it.

Sometimes he opened his mouth and chewed the fruit that Li Xiaoran fed him.

Without having to type, his freed hands could be put to good use.

With the help of a beautiful woman, this is how novel writing should be.
