I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

The next morning.

As morning light pierced through the gaps in the curtains and shone into the bedroom, Mr. Cheng struggled to sit up in bed.

He stood there for a while, contemplating the meaning of life, then took out his phone and glanced at the time.

8:32 AM.

Ms. Tian Xiwei sent him a series of messages about half an hour ago.

King Oda: Good morning, my little darling, I'm off to the film set to shoot a movie.

King Xiaotian: I've arrived at the film studio, and I see two food delivery workers loitering outside.

King Xiaotian: Hahahaha, guess what I found? The delivery address of these two deliverymen is actually our film crew, and the recipient is you. Can you guess what they delivered?

King Xiaotian: Huh? Wait, I didn't check your update last night. You didn't kill someone off again, did you?

Oda-sama: The kitten is furious.jpg.

Upon seeing this series of messages, Cheng Che's drowsiness gradually dissipated, and a smile began to appear.

Okay, okay, if you're going to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore.

Cheng Che replied with a "Good morning," then told her to relax, that he hadn't killed off anyone, before glancing at the comments section.

As expected, the book review section was as exciting as I had imagined, and no one believed that Genjiro was not dead.

"I'm begging you, Master Zero! In the past, when I wrote about dead characters, at least I'd take a break to accumulate chapters, giving everyone some time to prepare. This time, why didn't you even have time to prepare?"

"666, I'm saying Zero is amazing, anyone know what I mean? He just fell for Genjiro, and then he's gone! I'm so angry!"

"Why? (crying) He could have taken Sakura to the nudist beach to sell sunscreen, but he died for two enemies who were at each other's throats just a second ago."

"Yuan Zhisheng may have committed many sins in his life, but at least in the moment he let go and fell, he became a friend of justice."

"I've really gone too far! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to explode against this bastard! Anyway, being his lackey doesn't stop him from writing about dead people, so I'm going to explode!"

"I've been following him! Wasn't he visiting Tian Xiwei on set recently? To be honest, my house happens to be near the film studio. I want that thief dead!!"

After browsing through the book review section, Cheng Che was grinning from ear to ear.

Yeah, yeah, just keep insulting me like that. I love seeing you guys hate me but can't do anything about it!

And readers would never guess that he went home last night!

Hehehehehe—

No, no... Cheng Che felt that if it was just like this, the design of this update would not be closed yet.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then went to the music recorder to quickly shoot a short daily video.

"Knock knock knock—"

He mimicked Tian Xiwei's gesture, tapping the phone camera with his finger.

"Good morning, friends! When I woke up and opened the book review section, I found that many enthusiastic readers sent mango pomelo sago to the film studio, and it even seems that some readers sent themselves there." Cheng Che said with a smile.

"I want to tell everyone that, unfortunately, the main contractor actually went home yesterday afternoon, so please don't waste your time!"

Recording completed, uploaded successfully, and I went to eat breakfast feeling completely satisfied.

……

……

Chinese website headquarters.

Bai Ye sat in his office with a cup of coffee, checking the backend data of "Dragon Raja".

I suddenly noticed a surge in comments for the latest chapter, so I looked into it.

He smiled helplessly.

You tell me, how irresponsible the child is.

Genjiro didn't die, but the story was deliberately abruptly ended in a place where it seemed like he had died.

If a reader sends you takeout, you have to post a video to tell them that you're home and that they sent it to the wrong address.

What's even more amazing is that the video he posted was just a casual video, and only people who follow each other can comment in the comment section...

The readers' pent-up anger, finding no outlet, ultimately transformed into nourishment, nurturing the great tree that is the Chinese website.

But then again, it seems there's some data I can use to freeload... Bai Ye made a call to his subordinates.

"Have the staff of our website's 'Muyin' account comment on Zero's newly posted video and promote the media interview from last time. The video will be uploaded this afternoon."

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief."

Two minutes later...

Bai Ye's phone rang.

"Is it done?" Bai Ye asked casually.

"Uh, editor-in-chief, there's a small problem," the person on the other end of the phone said.

"What's the problem?"

"The operations team said that Zero hasn't followed our account, so we can't comment..."

A crack appeared on Bai Ye's usually calm face.

I forgot about that...

Although there were some minor flaws in the plan, it was still necessary to maintain the proper decorum and composure when facing subordinates.

"Oh, it's alright," she said casually. "Then go to the Zero Book Review section and post a book review using the official account, and pin it to the top."

"Okay, editor-in-chief."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ye picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

I feel a bit pathetic...

If you're feeling a little down, you need to find a way to cheer yourself up.

Upon realizing this, Bai Ye abruptly stood up, preparing to inspect whether the company's employees had worked diligently that day.

They'd better not have anyone today who's left-footed and advanced.

……

……

At noon, Cheng Che received a message from the editor-in-chief while he was having lunch.

The other party told him that the interview video for the last mango pomelo sago dessert was released at 2 pm, and asked him to cooperate by adding a co-creation element at that time.

Cheng Che understood what she meant; she wanted to use his online traffic!

Eat, eat the biggest one.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The accounts "Zero (Mentor Xia Mi)" and "Qidian Chinese Website (Mentor Zero)" together released a collaborative video with an official media account called "Getting Closer to Shanghai".

As soon as the video was released, tens of thousands of users received big data push notifications.

Of course, this also includes Cheng Che's dear readers—the readers had been teased by Cheng Che all morning, and were full of frustration and anger with nowhere to vent, but then they unexpectedly received the news that Cheng Che had released another work.

Well, Zero, that dog, wasn't satisfied with just posting a temporary, casual video to mock us this morning, he actually has to post a formal video too?

This is intolerable!

The readers were furious and enraged, and they clicked on the video to immediately bombard Zero with their comments.

Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was that the creator of the video was an official media outlet based in Shanghai.

He was immediately taken aback.

Then I saw the video's script.

I was stunned again.

And I was deeply attracted by the copywriting.

The video's script is as follows:

Why does laughter frequently echo from the streets scorching under the blazing sun? Why are screams resounding from the milk tea shops within a ten-mile radius? Why is a fifty-year-old woman lingering by the roadside for so long? Why is a young man on a roadside bench sweating profusely?

"Behind all this, is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?!"

"Now, let's uncover this urban legend from Shanghai with 'Getting Closer to the City'!"
