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

One September night, Bai Ye, the editor-in-chief who was still working overtime at the company, suddenly received a new message notification from Zero, the number one money tree in the entire Chinese website.

Zero: Boss, are you there?

The sudden message in the middle of the night... Bai Ye frowned, instinctively feeling that things might not be so simple.

Bai Ye: What's wrong?

Baiye: Get to the point.

Zero: Oh, boss, it's like this, I'm about to start updating Dragon 3.

Zero: I've already written the outline and the opening tens of thousands of words.

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this was a good thing!

After waiting for half a month, the child has finally had enough fun and knows to come home to work!

Ah, you've grown up!

However... Bai Ye belatedly realized that something was amiss.

Bai Ye: It's a good thing that Geng Longsan is here.

Bai Ye: But why don't you just talk to your editor directly?

Bai Ye: What do you want from me? What problem have you encountered?

This is the first time Zero has contacted her proactively before the novel even started serialization...

As we all know, unusual behavior often has unusual reasons behind it.

Zero: I think it's necessary to report this matter of Geng Longsan to you, Boss.

Zero: Um... I don't really know how to put it.

Zero: Boss, how about I send you the outline? You can take a look yourself?

Bai Ye: Okay.

Zero successfully piqued Bai Ye's interest.

She had seen it all, as had Zero.

So, what story did Long San tell that made Zero, an internet celebrity, feel the need to report it to her first?

Oh.

That's interesting.

About two minutes later, she received the document from Zero.

Click on it and take a close look.

Ryu San's story takes place in a neighboring island nation, where there is a mixed-race force that belongs to the Secret Party but also has a high degree of autonomy—the "Snake-Headed Eight Families".

The main storyline follows the protagonist group as they enter Japan to investigate the life of a being suspected to be the Dragon King, and how they develop a love-hate relationship with the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

The final boss of Ryu San is a mad scientist who almost usurped divine authority...

After reading the main plot outline, Bai Ye nodded to himself.

Overall, it's not bad. Although there are quite a few flaws, she believes that with Zero's writing skills in Dragon 1 and Dragon 2, these won't be major problems.

She then looked at the detailed outline of some plot points and the character outlines—here I must say, Zero's outline was exceptionally detailed and well-organized, and it might serve as a template for other authors on the website to learn from.

But as the story progressed and the fates of each character unfolded, Bai Ye's expression gradually became less composed.

The young "Emperor" of the Snake Clan, the cherry blossom-like ninja girl, the foul-mouthed thug... are all dead.

Angers, a foolish student a hundred years ago, a peerless actor, a former movie star... is dead.

Even the innocent girl the main characters met at the erotic internet cafe... died.

Even more crucially... looking at the fate of that girl with deep red hair, Bai Ye fell into the most profound contemplation of his career as editor-in-chief.

She wouldn't be too saddened by the deaths of these characters right now, after all, it's just an outline.

However, judging from Zero's writing style in Dragon 1 and Dragon 2...

Won't the website get destroyed?

Will the server really not explode?

Will Zero really not be forced to leave the scene?

Zero: Boss, have you finished reading?

Zero: Well-behaved.jpg.

Bai Ye pondered for a long time as he looked at the new message from Zero.

Baiye: You have always had a strong grasp of the market. What is your outlook on Longsan?

Zero: Hmm, probably, maybe, perhaps, it will be a little bit more explosive than Ryuji's ending?

Zero: Boss, do you think the website can protect me after Long San is finished writing?

Zero: Boss, you know me. I'm loyal and devoted, I've endured hardship and humiliation. I've carried the flag for the website, I've shed sweat for the website, the website can't abandon me!

Bai Ye took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little stunned by the happiness that had overwhelmed him.

I thought Xia Mi was the pinnacle of "Dragon Raja", but I didn't expect there were still masters.

After a brief hesitation, she typed a few lines on the keyboard.

Bai Ye: Feel free to continue the serialization.

Baiye: The website will cover for you.

Zero: Boss's got some nerve!

Zero: I'm willing to serve you, boss!

Baiye: Now that you're ready, let's do some promotion for the website.

Zero: Received.

Zero: Also, there's one more thing, I have to go record another show.

Bai Ye thought he was referring to the start of filming for the second installment of "Random Notes," and didn't think much of it.

Baiye: Don't let it affect the update.

……

the next day.

Bai Ye stared silently at the trending topics on Weibo.

#Flying Guest Announcement for Episode 1 of "5 Hip Hop"#

It seems the child is still a bit too playful.

……

At 10:00 AM sharp, the official Weibo account of "5 Hip Hop" posted a new update.

"Welcome our guest stars @Zero, @TianXiwei, and @XiaZiyi to the first episode of this season's '5Hip Hop'!"

"The first clash between the old and new Demon Balls, stay tuned!"

The accompanying image is three photos of the guests in their official attire.

From left to right: Cheng Che, Tian Xiwei, Xia Ziyi.

At the bottom of the three official photos, a line of text was pieced together—

"When the Little Demon meets the Old Demon"

Within ten minutes of the post being published, the comment section was flooded with comments.

"Wang Zheng directly brought Che Ge and Xiao Tian to be guest stars, is that even possible?!"

"I'm really looking forward to the clash between the old and new Demon Balls! I'm so curious to see what these two Demon Balls can do together @DengChao @Zero."

"Sister Xia is here too? So the 'Comic Diary' team went to the '5p' show next door for a team building activity! It's so convenient to have a show directed by the same person!"

"Hey, Uncle, you should reflect on your actions in jail. Everything's fine with the program, so don't worry or fret!"

"@ShanghaiPolice, I believe that @CrystalUncle, as a public figure, not only failed to set a good example, but also injured another vehicle while drunk. He should be detained for a few more days."

"Are you a devil, upstairs? My uncle's mistake was at most a minor one, not a capital offense..."

……

Cheng Che looked down at the comments section and suddenly noticed that a comment with a verified badge had been pushed to the top.

The comment was from user "Deng Chao" —

"@Zero, I've heard so much about you (clasps hands in greeting)."

The number of replies below instantly exceeded 100.

"666 Old Demon Pill is here!"

"Hey, you old guy, why are you surfing so fast?"

"You're going too far upstairs. I would never emphasize that Brother Chao is already 43 years old this year."

"You didn't let him off the hook either!"

Cheng Che thought for a moment, then used his Weibo account to add a comment below—

"@Deng Chao, I've heard so much about you (clasps hands in greeting)."

He had just finished replying and was about to log out when he noticed that user "Deng Chao" had immediately followed up with another reply—

"@Zero, I've heard so much about you (clasps hands in greeting)."

"?"

Cheng Che was taken aback at first, then smiled.

"@Deng Chao, I've heard so much about you (clasps hands in greeting)."

Half a minute later...

"@Zero, I've heard so much about you! (clasps hands in a fist)"

Another half minute later...

"@Deng Chao, I've heard so much about you! (clasps hands in a fist salute)"
