Chapter 53: Chapter 53: This book is good! Worth a shot!
Editor: Henyee Translations
Director Gao’s words weren’t wrong, why take a disciple?
With Li Fei’s fame, getting scripts wasn’t difficult, and he didn’t lack money. So why take a disciple? Wasn’t it so that when he was older, someone would be there to talk to, chat with, and show respect during holidays?
“Just for this rascal’s words, having this disciple was worth it, haha!” Li Fei was extremely pleased. He looked at Wang Hao, then at Zheng Yue, and laughed as he asked, “Little Yue’er, speaking of which, Haoer mentioned you wanted a role to me. So, are you planning to pursue a career in the entertainment industry?”
“Actually, I have thought about it. Becoming a star has been my dream since I was little,” Zheng Yue said, a bit embarrassed, with her face slightly red. “I just don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity.”
Having taken such a satisfactory disciple, Li Fei naturally planned to look after her.
He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “There will definitely be opportunities. Haoer specifically mentioned you to me. To be honest, giving you a harmless role isn’t hard, but you know, the role can’t be added for nothing. You should thank Haoer with a toast, right?”
Wow, did you see the power we have?
Just one sentence, that was enough, it had to work!
“Hehe, Brother Hao, thank you. I’ll take one first as a sign of respect!” Zheng Yue giggled, raised her glass, and downed the drink in one gulp.
Seeing this, Wang Hao naturally had to play along. He quickly raised his glass, “Then I’ll wish Yue’er a quick rise to fame!”
Almost slipped up there, a “quick rise to fame” might be misunderstood!
“Finally, only nine books remaining.”
In the office of Fengyun Chinese Web, Editor-in-Chief Wen Song leaned back in his chair and looked at the time, it was already past ten in the evening.
As the editor-in-chief of the largest novel website in the country, he had to work overtime almost every day. Otherwise, if the book reviews weren’t done, the workload the next day would increase significantly.
“I wonder how these books are,” Wen Song opened one, shaking his head after just two chapters. “What a pity, the opening was decent, but the plot afterward is just too strange…”
He opened another book, “What the hell, the protagonist kneels and begs for mercy?! How could he write such idiotic content…?”
The third book, “The story starts with a girl dying, and the protagonist is just full of grievances. What are these authors thinking?!”
A total of nine books, and none of them made it.
Wen Song stretched deeply, “Finally done, time to wrap up!”
Just preparing to pack up and go home, he suddenly remembered something, “Oh right, that book ‘Break the Heavens’ had a nice start, I wonder how much has been updated today. Let’s take a look, it won’t take long…”
He intended to casually check it out, as the opening of the book had a very good entry point, spending a few more minutes on it seemed worth it. With this in mind, Wen Song reopened the webpage and entered the ‘Break the Heavens’ page…
“Damn! It already has an Alliance Hierarch?!” Looking at the blindingly ranking list of ‘Break the Heavens,’ Wen Song frowned, “Only fifteen thousand words, three chapters updated today? The speed is okay, but what’s with this Alliance Hierarch?”
After verifying again, ‘Break the Heavens’ still had impressive overall data for a newly released book, with 696 clicks, 225 member clicks, 188 recommendations, and 112 favorites.
“This data is quite good, let’s just read the text first,” Wen Song started reading.
At fifteen thousand words, the story was at the part where Nalan Yanran came to call off the engagement. The golden sunflower’s writing was outstanding, very well-grounded. Especially, the understanding was high; everything Wang Hao had previously mentioned was grasped almost instantly, creating excellent foreshadowing. So, once Wen Song started reading, the potential of the book became very evident!
“The plot is advancing steadily,” Wen Song nodded as he read, “the ring left a great foreshadowing, enticing readers very well. The conflicts in the family gathering, the girl arriving with the Elder’s pressure, all the conflicts focus on the protagonist. If the protagonist could explode in this family gathering, it would be amazing! This book has promise!”
As an editor for several years, Wen Song’s eye for potential was pretty accurate.
A glimpse of excellence often reveals much. Although only fifteen thousand words had been written, the book’s potential was evident.
“A great book,” after reading all five chapters, Wen Song immediately decided, “the update speed is good, the writing is excellent, the plot advances steadily, and the anticipation is high. This book should become popular!”
After evaluating the first five chapters of ‘Break the Heavens,’ Wen Song immediately entered the management backend and sent a message—
“Hello, your work has been submitted for a contract by the chief editor of the main site’s sixth group. Please add the contract editor as a friend via QQ to discuss the contract details. When adding, please note the book title and author name, and try to maintain regular updates during contract negotiations.”
Yu Lin District, at Wang Hao’s house.
Wang Hao’s mom entered the house, pondering her encounter with the neighbor today while cooking, the more she thought, the stranger it seemed.
“Haoer could get involved with a big star?” Wang Hao’s mom thought to herself, “Haoer is quite handsome, but still a bit lacking compared to those stars. Our family is not particularly wealthy, and Haoer’s job is average. What’s going on?”
Soon, Little Bai barked, “Woof woof!”
“You clever dog,” Wang Hao’s mom laughed scoldingly, “you’re so alert, the old man’s home and you’re the first to know!”
Sure enough, the door opened, and Wang Hao’s dad came in, taking off his shoes. Wang Hao’s mom said, “Old man, you’re finally back. Help me figure something out, I’ve been puzzling over it.”
“What is it?” Wang Hao’s dad changed his clothes and sat down at the table, “Where’s Haoer?”
“He’s not back yet, probably something with the crew,” Wang Hao’s mom served dinner and said, “Do you know who that girl was with Haoer that day?”
“Who?” Dad took a bite of food, then threw a piece of meat to Little Bai, “The one who gave Haoer the computer? For her to give such an expensive gift, she must be his girlfriend, no?”
“If she were his girlfriend, would I be this troubled?” Mom said, “Let me tell you, that girl is the most beautiful star in our Heavenly People’s Republic, her name is Bai Yaning! She’s from the Bai family, the only daughter of the Bai’s Group CEO!”
