This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 745: Extra: It turns out that you really forgot the way!

On the set, a group of people in the crew were busy.

What everyone was filming was a TV series. As director Du Chonglin shouted "Click", the actors stopped moving one after another.

Du Chonglin turned to look at Xu Ye standing aside: "Xu Ye, how about this one?

"It's good, let's live it." Xu Ye smiled.

After hearing Xu Ye's answer, the actors on the scene also showed joy.

The screenwriter of the TV series they are starring in is Xu Ye, but Xu Ye is no longer very involved in directing work, and Du Chonglin is responsible for the main work.

Occasionally Xu Ye would come to the set and get Xu Ye's approval, which was also an encouragement to these actors.

Du Chonglin told everyone to call it a day, then turned to Xu Ye and said, "Let's have dinner together later?"

Xu Ye stood up from the chair and said slightly apologetically: "No, it's my friend's birthday tonight."

Du Chonglin snorted and asked curiously: "Whose birthday is it?"

"The fan in my house has been fanning me for so long, and it's my turn to fan it today." Xu Ye said.

The expression on Du Chonglin's face suddenly became awkward.

Go **** celebrate your fan’s birthday!

I shouldn't have asked more questions!

When Xu Ye got into the nanny car and was on his way home, his cell phone rang.

It was Xiao Xu who called.

As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Xu's voice came out.

"Lao Xu, you are going to be a father."

"Who will be my son?" Xu Ye asked.

Xiao Xu said angrily: "I'm pregnant!"

They have been married for two months, and neither Xu Ye nor Xiao Xu have been idle during these two months.

Thanks to the hard work of the two of them, it has finally borne fruit.

"Huh? She's pregnant!"

After learning the news, Xu Ye, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

There is definitely a completely different feeling between being called dad and actually being a dad.

After returning home, Xu Ye told Shen Xinning and Xu Baifeng about the incident, and he also wanted to plan the follow-up matters.

Now that Xiao Xu is pregnant, many things in the entertainment industry must stop.

Fading out of the entertainment industry is a scary thing for many celebrities.

After all, in the entertainment industry, stars change so fast. If you don't show up for a month, everyone will basically forget about you.

The resources you previously had will also be taken away by other stars.

But this thing is only for traffic stars, and Xiao Xu doesn't care at all.

As for Xu Ye, he will also stop the work at hand during this period.

The studio is on the right track, and the projects that should be promoted can also be progressed steadily.

This was what they had planned when they first got married.

On the sofa in the living room, Xiao Xu leaned his head on Xu Ye's shoulder and asked softly: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it." Xu Ye said.

After finishing speaking, he posted the edited Weibo post.

There is a picture on Weibo, and the title at the top is the four characters "Closure Announcement".

The content inside is that Xu Ye announced the news of Xiao Xu's pregnancy, and that both of them were preparing to go out of business, which would start in one year.

The style of the entire picture is similar to the closure announcements posted on the doors of some shops outside. The main colors are red and white, which is more vulgar than vulgar.

But netizens have become accustomed to this.

Nothing Xu Ye sent was normal!

After seeing this closure announcement, patients at Huohua Hospital congratulated each other in the comment area.

"Congratulations to Xu Xu Rusheng. It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to watch the movie starring the dean recently."

"Congratulations, you two remember to find a normal person to take care of the child. Dean, stay away from the child."

"You two are so cool. If you say you want to stop, you will stop. What will we do if you stop!"

Most netizens are sending their blessings.

Xu Xu Rusheng is already a model couple in the entertainment industry.

The only pity is that two people have gone out of business.

Although we can still see a series of works from the Five-Year Plan in the future, without Xu Ye's participation, it always feels like there is something missing.

Other stars in the entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news.

"That's great. At least you don't have to worry about it in the future!"

"Our time has come!"

"It's good to close the business. If you don't close the business, we will lose our jobs!"

The topics of Xiao Xu’s pregnancy and Xu Ye’s bankruptcy have both become hot searches.

The next day, Xu Ye returned home after arranging the company's affairs.

He is ready to take care of pregnant women.

But if you do nothing but take care of pregnant women at home, you still have some free time.

What's more, Shen Xinning also plans to come to Ancheng to help take care of Xiao Xu.

"Got to find something to do."

Xu Ye finally set his sights on the system warehouse.

He had won several novel redemption coupons during a lottery draw before.

Now that he has to stay at home anyway, he can't make movies and TV series, so writing novels is more suitable.

He had only written one book before, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", and he hadn't written a new book for several years now. It was just a good time to write a novel.

It takes such a long time to write a novel, with millions of words.

He writes novels not for fame or fortune, but to pass the time and have fun.

Soon, Xu Ye thought of which book to write.

"Just write "The Tao Weird Immortal"!"

On Earth, the pen name of the author of this book is Hu Wei's pen, and his real name is Hu Wei. The pen name is chosen very casually.

This is an online novel that combines Eastern fantasy and Western Cthulhu elements, with a very unique style.

The protagonist Li Huowang shuttles between an urban world and a world of immortality, and is mistaken for a mental illness. His various behaviors in the novel make readers think he is sick.

The novel itself is very crazy. Xu Ye's nickname "Zi Wang Dao" came from this novel.

After hiding it from the paparazzi Geng Biao for so long, Geng Biao must at least know what Zuowangdao is for.

After making the decision, Xu Ye exchanged a novel coupon for "The Weird Immortal".

All the contents of the novel redeemed by the system were imprinted in his mind.

The most time-consuming part of writing a novel is actually not the writing, but the conception.

Many authors often get stuck at a certain point, sometimes for several hours.

Some people just get stuck for a few months, and then the book becomes boring.

For Xu Ye, this problem does not exist. He does not need to conceive.

He only needs to refine some typos and illogical sentences in the original text. It is not complicated to simply type out these things in his mind.

Xu Ye searched the Internet and found that the world's largest online novel website is a website called Dingmin Chinese Network.

This website is similar to the Qidian Chinese website on earth, and the works on it are also blooming.

A book like "The Weird Immortal" can only achieve good results on this kind of platform. After all, this chapter is the only place that is more interesting than the main text. The level of readers here is really high.

Xu Ye registered a writer account after studying the rules for publishing books on the website.

Since Hu Wei is called "Foxtail's Pen", then he is called "Howard Bi".

As for whether Xu Ye would be recognized by the editor of the Dingmin Chinese website, Xu Ye didn't care. If he recognized him, he would recognize him.

After registering a writer account, Xu Ye created a new book "The Weird Immortal" in the writer's backend. After creating the book, he started coding.

At the beginning, his coding speed was not very fast, but later on it became faster and faster, and became smoother and smoother.

While typing, Xiao Xu came over to take a look. After learning that Xu Ye was writing a novel, Xiao Xu immediately expressed his intention to become Xu Ye's first reader.

A few hours later, Xu Ye finished writing 10,000 words, almost four chapters, and he published these four chapters directly.

Xu Ye didn't stop after publishing, but continued writing. Anyway, he had nothing to do now.

He planned to keep the book updated daily from the beginning to the completion of at least 10,000 words, and there was still a need to keep manuscripts.

Early the next morning, I went to the editorial office of the Chinese website.

Editor Matsufeng took a cup of coffee from the tea room and sat at the office table.

Matsukaze's daily work is very regular. If there are no meetings, his job is mainly to deal with various problems encountered by contracted authors.

Other than that, I just look for new books in the library of the website. If I find one that I think is good, I will send a signing invitation to the author.

However, it is not an easy thing to find a book that stands out in front of you. Now that online literature has been developed for decades, many things have been written.

Book writing has also entered the era of internal volumes from the barbaric era, and there are fewer and fewer new authors who can stand out from the pile of books.

Matsukaze prefers to read books by new authors. These books have more spirit than those by old authors.

He opened the editing backend and began to read the books in the library.

All new books of up to 6,000 words will appear here.

Matsukaze read more than a dozen books in succession, but basically couldn't sign the contract at first sight. Most of them were written in a mess, not even as good as a primary school student's composition.

But that's the job of an editor. As the saying goes, it's like digging for gold from shit, and Matsukaze is used to it.

At this time, he saw a new book in the background called "The Weird Immortal".

He checked the author's basic information and found that he was a new author.

"Howard, such a Western pen name, actually writes Eastern fantasy."

After reading the title and introduction, Matsukaze became interested in this book.

He clicked on the text and read it. At first, Li Huowang was in a cave. Songfeng thought it was an ordinary time-travel routine.

But when he saw the end of the first chapter, Li Huowang suddenly opened his eyes and appeared in the ward, Songfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good guy, were all those things just imagined?" Songfeng was a little surprised.

This way of writing is not unknown, but it is very interesting to put it here.

Especially since the main character is actually mentally ill!

He read the second chapter, which was about the mental hospital. At the end of the chapter, there was another broken chapter.

Li Huowang discovered that the things he had in the fantasy world were actually brought to the real world by him.

After reading these two chapters, Matsukaze directly sent an invitation to sign a contract.

"This Howard Bi is definitely not a new author. The new author's writing skills cannot be so good. It is probably an old author wearing a new vest and opening a book." Matsukaze said in his heart.

The word vest has been spread since it appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

Songfeng was also speculating on the plot in his mind.

At present, it seems that the plot of this book is probably the story of the protagonist's continuous growth in the two worlds with the help of his ability to travel between the fantasy world and the real world.

Practicing in the urban world is also very enjoyable in itself.

After reading the next two chapters, Matsukaze's guess was basically confirmed.

"The world of cultivation is an illusion, and the ward is the real world."

He was also curious about what the author named "Howardby" would write next.

Matsukaze added this book to his personal bookshelf. He felt that the subversion of traditional cultivation of immortality in this book was quite interesting.

In the afternoon, Howard joined his friends, and Matsukaze said nothing more after telling him about the signing.

At 6 p.m., "Tao Weird Immortal" was updated with five chapters at once.

An update prompt also popped up on Matsukaze's phone, and he quickly clicked on it to read it.

Sure enough, Li Huowang brought something out of the illusion and asked his good friend Yang Na to exchange it for money.

However, when Matsukaze read Chapter 9, his mind was filled with questions.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the protagonist becomes a disciple of Dan Yangzi, the master of Qingfeng Temple.

However, Danyangzi told Li Huowang that he was hysterical.

Li Huowang immediately turned pale and said, "I won't eat, I'm not sick!"

Matsukaze's eyes widened.

"Damn it, I can't tell which side is real and which side is fake? Could it be that the real world is fake? No way?"

Suddenly, the plot became more interesting.

When Li Huowang returned to the ward again, he told everyone that the people over there were reality and we were illusions here.

As a result, everything in the real world froze, everyone disappeared, and he returned to the world of illusion.

Li Huowang fell into pain.

"Fuck!" Matsufeng screamed out in surprise.

This was completely beyond his expectations, and the development of the plot was completely different from what he thought.

In the office, other editors asked: "Matsukaze, what's wrong?"

Songfeng immediately said: "I recommend this book to you, Tao Wei Xian. If the quality of this book keeps up, it will definitely be a fine product. It is not impossible to order tens of thousands of books!"

On the Dingmin Chinese website, high-quality products refer to books with an average subscription of more than 3,000, and Wanben refers to books with an average subscription of more than 10,000.

The average subscription is the average number of readers who subscribe to each chapter.

This is real money support from readers, and it is also a standard to measure the quality of the work.

Every reader must have their own preferences. Some readers like to read about the city, and some like to read about fantasy and fairy tales. Relatively speaking, if a book can be liked by many readers, it must have something special about it.

"I'll go take a look."

Many editors have searched for it.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the latest chapter.

This development is different from what everyone expected.

"This book is definitely written by an old author!"

"It's a bit interesting. It's different from most fairy tales."

"However, the subject matter of this book is still a bit niche. It is possible to book it, but if you think about it higher, it is not possible. The writing is too sick."

"Howardby, do any of you know this author?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"This is weird, how can an old author appear out of thin air?"

The online literary circle is actually very small. For example, the writers on the Dingmin Chinese website also have a circle. Even if you don’t know the author, you can find someone you know by asking around.

It can be said that it is rare for an author to appear out of nowhere like Howardby.

However, the editors didn’t think much about it, maybe some authors are just that low-key.

On the other side, Xu Ye was also taking care of Xiao Xu while coding.

After waiting for a few days, "The Strange Fairy" was listed on the recommendation position of the Chinese website of Qidian.

Only when it reaches the recommended position is it exposed, and what follows are comments from readers.

Some readers couldn't accept this description of immortal cultivators at first.

In everyone's impression, the immortal cultivators in this book are all the same as monsters. They are as perverted as they are, and many of the descriptions even look a bit disgusting.

"There is something really wrong with this book. There is definitely something wrong with the author's mental state!"

"No man, your protagonist is really ruthless!"

"I seriously doubt that this author came out of a mental hospital!"

"I feel like my mental state is a little abnormal."

Although some readers said they couldn't accept it, some readers still said it was well written.

A week later, "The Strange Fairy" successfully advanced to the next round of recommendations and entered the top fifty on the new book list.

The data is not that explosive, which is pretty good for a new vest.

Some online article authors have also noticed this book.

There is no way, this book is so unique that I have never seen it before.

Cthulhu elements are not new elements, but this is their first time reading a novel that combines these Chinese elements with Cthulhu.

"This is definitely an old thing. Where did the author come from?"

"Why did you knock me off the new book list?"

"Who knows this author?"

A group of authors searched around but couldn't find any news about Howardby.

Howardby doesn't have a readership, and he never responds to readers' comments in the comment area. He just updates it on time at 12 noon every day.

Each update is no more or less, only about 10,000 words.

With a large amount of content and timely updates, the results of "The Strange Fairy" are getting better and better.

When the novel was updated to 100,000 words, it had already reached ninth place on the new book list.

For a book that can enter the top ten of the new book list, all data are quite good. Both the author and the readers will pay attention to this book.

In a certain author group, a group of authors are chatting about "The Weird Immortal".

"Have you read this weird book? This book is really insane. The author is really sick!"

"The author is not really in a mental hospital, is he? The update time is so punctual every day, is it because the doctor wants to collect his mobile phone?"

"I quite like reading this kind of book, but this subject matter is still too niche and not many readers read it."

“Let’s estimate the first order for this book.”

The so-called first subscription refers to the number of subscriptions within 24 hours after the first chapter of a novel is released.

Based on this data, you can basically tell whether the performance of this book is good or not.

At this time, an author called "Walking Away" spoke.

[Fading away: His first order will definitely not exceed 3,000! 】

For a moment, other authors in the group started joking.

"You can't say that others can't exceed 3,000 just because your new book's first order is 2,990."

"Gradually, I had the opportunity to order a high-quality product for the first time, but I didn't expect that in the end I was short of ten."

"It's okay. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know."

"Send out red envelopes immediately, otherwise I will spread the news among the author community!"

Soon, the building in the group became crooked.

This is also normal.

On Earth, the popularity of "The Strange Immortal" did not become popular in the new book issue, but only became popular later.

At that time, when the book was put on the shelves, the first order was just over 3,000. No one expected that the book would eventually exceed 100,000 and become a phenomenal work.

Xu Ye has no plans to advertise this book for the time being.

The main text of the novel has not been updated enough to be published by Zuowangdao, and it is not yet time to promote it!

When the number of words in the novel was almost reached, Xu Ye went directly to Songfeng and applied for early release.

It stands to reason that it will still be some time before it is put on the shelves, but don't forget that he updates 10,000 words every day, while other authors only update 4,000 words in the new book issue.

Songfeng persuaded Xu Ye to extend the new book period, so that he could accumulate more readers.

But Xu Ye didn't care about this at all.

After all, he knew that this book would be a hit and readers would accumulate it sooner or later.

In the end, Songfeng had no choice but to arrange for Xu Ye to put it on the shelves.

One day before it was released, at 12 noon, after the new chapter was updated, Xu Ye sent a release notice.

"It will be on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow."

This confused a group of readers.

"That's the only sentence you gave when you launched the product?"

"Is it on the shelves now?"

"Did the doctor collect your cell phone? Can't you say a few more words?"

Readers have to say that they should support it.

The next day, "The Tao Weird Immortal" was updated on time, with five chapters updated at once.

Chapter ninety-two to ninety-six.

Li Huowang is going to catch an evil spirit called the eighteenth lunar month and give it to Master Jingxin to help him get rid of the Danyang Zi in his body.

Readers were unprepared and thought this was just an ordinary chapter on the shelf.

After everyone clicked subscribe, they started watching.

After this period of catching up on updates, the readers who stayed were more or less seriously ill, and everyone felt that they had adapted to Li Huowang's mental state.

Li Huowang went to catch the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and his consciousness went to the real world again during the process.

He firmly believed that the so-called real world was his hallucination, in which he escaped from the mental hospital.

Li Huowang eagerly wanted to return to the world of immortality to solve the problem on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, but he saw the projection of the eighteenth lunar month in the real world.

He followed along and saw a girl wearing a red hairpin on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month in a kindergarten.

Li Huowang rushed into the kindergarten and hijacked the children. In his opinion, he controlled the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

But in the eyes of people in the real world, Li Huowang has gone completely crazy.

Everything he did was done by a mentally ill person.

The police surrounded him, and his mother, Sun Xiaoqin, also came to the scene and begged him to let go of the little girl.

Sun Xiaoqin finally knelt on the ground and said, "Mom, please kneel down and beg you. Our house has been sold because of you. Our family really has no money to compensate."

Li Huowang collapsed when he heard Sun Xiaoqin's voice.

He shouted mom.

After seeing this scene, many readers felt the confusion in Li Huowang's heart.

He firmly believes that the world is fake, but Sun Xiaoqin's love for him is true.

So is everything so-called a fantasy of mental patient Li Huowang, or does it really exist?

If it is fantasy, which side is true and which side is false?

If they are all real, then why are some of Li Huowang's actions synchronized in both worlds?

In the end, Li Huowang shouted out everything in his heart.

"Mom! I can't tell the difference! I really can't tell the difference!"

Many readers only felt goosebumps all over their bodies after reading this sentence.

"Awesome!"

"Howard, I can't tell the difference either!"

"I've read hundreds of thousands of words, but I still don't understand it!"

"Howard, you are really sick! Hey, why does this sentence sound familiar?"

After a group of readers finished reading the published chapters, this famous scene in "The Tao Weird Immortal" was spread among the readers.

This famous scene began to spread among readers, forums, and some novel forums.

Not to mention that Li Huowang can't tell the difference, readers can't tell the difference either.

A group of online writers also captured the news.

Unlike readers, everyone is more curious about who Howard is.

For this effort, it is definitely not a new author, but an old author.

Xianxingyuan searched again in major chat groups, but found nothing.

It's like this author appeared out of nowhere.

The next day, the first order data for "The Strange Fairy" was released.

Some authors saw the first order data on a statistics website, and there were more than 3,000 first order orders.

This is the reason why it was put on the shelves in advance. If it had not been put on the shelves in advance, the data would definitely be better.

After all, in this world, Xu Ye updates 10,000 words every day, so the data is naturally better.

Authors in the online literature circle understand that the more updates the better.

After a month of waiting, "The Strange Fairy" has already exceeded 10,000 orders, lighting up the sought-after badge on the Dingmin Chinese website for works with over 10,000 orders.

As the plot progresses, the mysterious organization Zuowangdao has appeared on the Internet.

On some social software or short video software, you can occasionally meet a group of netizens who claim to be sitting and forgetting.

The results of "The Strange Fairy" have also stabilized.

After finishing coding that night, Xu Ye turned on his phone and entered his small account nicknamed Zuowangdao.

During this time, he has been paying attention to Geng Biao's movements.

Zuowangdao has appeared. Perhaps this meme is currently only circulating in the Internet literary circle and has not broken out of the circle. Geng Biao has not yet realized what is wrong with Brother Zuo.

The two occasionally communicated, but Xu Ye basically took the initiative, and Geng Biao didn't notice anything unusual at all.

At this time, the "Internal Fish Eating Melon Group" that Xu Ye joined suddenly sent a message to all members of Aite.

The person who sent this message is the group owner.

"Anyone who has information about Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia will talk to me privately and ask for a high price."

The group suddenly became lively.

"Who has this? These two couples have been pregnant for a while, but they didn't take any photos."

"If nothing else, is this photo a hot search? Is it okay?"

"Just the pregnancy photos are nothing, they didn't hide it."

Everyone was talking to each other, and the group leader said: "So let's see if there is any big material."

After watching everyone's chat for a while, Xu Ye sent a message to Geng Biao.

"Brother Biao, are you there? I have something urgent to tell you."

Not long after, Geng Biao replied.

"Brother Xiaozuo, what's wrong?"

Geng Biao is quite fond of Brother Xiaozuo, and this is his only direct contact with Xu Ye.

The information about Xu Ye that Brother Xiaozuo had provided him the previous two times was all genuine, but everyone was fooled by Xu Ye.

Several years have passed, and Geng Biao has forgotten the specific situation at that time.

Xu Ye replied: "Brother Biao, I have Xu Ye's aniseed in my hand."

Geng Biao asked: "If you have big materials, go to the group leader to exchange money. What are you telling me?"

"I'm not familiar with that group leader." Xu Ye replied.

The reason he said is also very reasonable.

On the other side, Geng Biao was leisurely drinking beer and playing with his mobile phone in the hotel. He had nothing to do at the moment and replied directly to Brother Xiaozuo.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Not long after, news about Xu Ye came.

"Brother Biao, I will send you the materials. As for how much it will cost, you can pay it as you see."

Geng Biao smiled and replied: "What other materials can Xu Ye have? It's not worth anything."

However, as soon as he sent this message, he received a new message.

The moment he saw this new news, Geng Biao straightened up and his eyes widened.

The message from Xu Ye only had a few words.

"Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia have divorced."

Good guy, they just held their wedding this year. They are a model couple. If they get divorced, the entire entertainment industry will be shaken.

"How do you know?"

"Didn't I work at Sound and Light Entertainment before? I also had a friend who worked there. One time during dinner, I let the news slip. He said that Xu Ye had someone outside." Xu Ye replied seriously.

However, this kind of news does not convince Geng Biao. He is already an old paparazzi.

He could make up a hundred pieces of this information in one night just by speaking.

The key is to have real results.

As long as there is real evidence and a little bit of news is released, if Xu Ye doesn't want his career to be affected, he will have to pay for the hush money.

The hush money is not a small amount.

"Do you have evidence?" Geng Biao asked.

"Yes!" Xu Ye said.

He had already prepared for it. When he wrote "The Weird Immortal", he was already preparing for today.

Xu Ye directly sent a video to Geng Biao.

"Brother Biao, I took this photo after squatting for three days and three nights."

On the other side, Geng Biao clicked on the video.

In the picture, there are some grass leaves blocking the camera, which is obviously a hidden shot. The photographer seems to be hiding in the garden.

The shooting location was in a certain community, and it was also a candid perspective.

Not long after, Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia appeared on the screen, Xu Ye in front and Xu Nanjia in the back.

Xu Nanjia reached out to take Xu Ye's hand, but Xu Ye threw Xu Nanjia's hand away and said with an angry expression: "Don't touch me!"

Xiao Xu's expression was a little aggrieved.

Xu Ye continued: "We are already divorced, so stop pestering me."

The video ends abruptly.

Although Xu Ye's last words were not very clear, I could still hear them a little bit. At least the word "divorce" was quite clear.

Geng Biao felt like there was a big drum pounding in his chest.

real!

It's actually true!

Videos can’t lie!

The first two times he fell into the hands of Xu Ye, it was because he was impulsive. Xu Ye didn't speak at that time. This time Xu Ye spoke, so there was no way to quibble!

"Big news, definitely big news!" Geng Biao stood up from the bed excitedly.

He couldn't even imagine how much heat it would cause if this explosive news was revealed.

This popularity alone can last for at least a week and support many marketing accounts.

It would be even more profitable if he could get some hush money from Xu Ye.

Geng Biao immediately saved the video.

He shook his head and sighed in his mind: "Brother Xiaozuo is still as careless as ever. Thank you for meeting me. Otherwise, if you had posted the video like this, you wouldn't have gotten a penny."

He replied to Xu Ye: "Brother Xiaozuo, you have to be careful in the future. Don't give such important things to others casually. If others take it away, how can you make money?"

"Brother Biao, I'm not that stupid. I believe you are not that kind of person."

Geng Biao felt warm in his heart when he saw this sentence.

"I'll transfer you two thousand yuan first. Your video is very valuable, and the benefits will be yours."

Geng Biao transferred two thousand yuan to Xu Ye without saying anything.

Soon, news about Xu Ye came.

"Brother, you are so kind."

Geng Biao started to prepare after a few more instructions.

With the video in hand, he was sure to take advantage of this wave of traffic.

What we need to think about now is how to maximize this wave of traffic.

Two days later, a well-known paparazzi account posted a message.

"One of the most promising couples in the entertainment industry has divorced. The husband is a two-character actor, who is above the A-list."

Not long after this Weibo post was posted, fans in the comment area took aim.

Married, a two-character male star, super A-list, very good relationship, just name Xu Ye.

"These paparazzi are getting more and more unlimited now. Xu Ye just got married, right?"

"I probably believe you when you say other celebrities, but I don't believe you when you say Xu Xu Rusheng is divorced!"

"It's a bit funny, the paparazzi's professional level is too low."

Except for some of Xu Ye's black fans who applauded, no one believed this at all.

The person who posted this news was naturally Geng Biao.

Although most people don't believe this, the topic of Xu Ye's divorce is still on the hot search list.

Geng Biao quickly posted another Weibo post.

"I won't say that without evidence. It will be announced live at 8pm three days later." The reason why Geng Biao didn't announce who it was right away was because he was waiting for Xu Ye to contact him.

Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia are both on the rise in their careers. This kind of news will definitely have an impact on their careers.

As long as Xu Ye is willing to pay a hush fee, all he needs to do is expose some dirty information about another celebrity during the live broadcast and take the blame for Xu Ye.

However, after waiting for three days, there was not only no public response from Xu Ye, but also no one contacted him privately.

Geng Biao felt something was wrong in his heart.

But the video in his hand is real.

He has already found someone to specifically check the video. The video is genuine and there are no traces of post-production.

The advantage is his!

In the past three days, things have been aroused on the Internet.

However, both Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia had already issued closure announcements, and they ignored the online discussions at all.

Xu Ye is also updating "The Weird Fairy" with peace of mind.

In the group chat of the Logistics Department of Huohua Psychiatric Hospital, a group of senior patients are also discussing this matter.

Security team captain Han Ran asked: "Do you feel that the current online situation is a bit familiar?"

"It seems true. I remember that the dean deceived the paparazzi twice, right?"

"What the paparazzi said this time is conclusive, so he should have something solid in his hand, right?"

"The paparazzi also had real weapons in their hands the last two times."

"It's not like the paparazzi were deceived again this time, right?"

"The dean just sat down and forgot about the way!"

"What is Zuowangdao?"

Someone in the group asked.

Soon a group member recommended "The Strange Fairy" to the group members.

"Zuowangdao is a sect in the novel. This is a novel adapted from a game."

"There are also games, why can't I find them?"

"You believe it! Hahaha!"

The group chat was very lively.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Geng Biao started the live broadcast.

Naturally, he did not show his face in the live broadcast, but wore a doll hood on his head.

There were more and more people in the live broadcast room, and by the end there were hundreds of thousands of people online.

It can be said that Geng Biao has fully utilized the traffic this time.

There is also a link to sell goods in his live broadcast room. Hundreds of thousands of people have come in. Even if only 1% of people place orders, there are still thousands of people. How can you make money?

By the end, all the audience were urging in the barrage.

Geng Biao is like a Riddler who never tells the truth.

Seeing that no one from Xu Ye had contacted him, Geng Biao decided to publish the information he had.

After these three days, the heat is almost gone.

At this moment, a group of viewers in the barrage became excited.

"Did Xu Ye speak just now?"

"Damn it, Xu Ye is here too!"

"Is it really Xu Ye?"

Geng Biao was a little confused. He felt like he was scrolling forward in the barrage. After searching for a while, he found a barrage posted by a person named singer Xu Ye.

"Why haven't you revealed the news yet?"

Geng Biao's heart trembled. He clicked on this person's name and entered his personal homepage.

There is a self-introduction and official certification on the personal homepage. It is Xu Ye!

For a moment, Geng Biao felt a layer of cold sweat break out all over his body.

At this time, Xu Ye actually dared to come to the live broadcast room to urge him to break the news. Could it be that Xu Ye's divorce was fake?

Impossible!

If it is fake, how do you explain this video?

At this time, Xu Ye said something again.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

For a moment, a group of people in the live broadcast room followed suit and started this sentence.

By this time, Geng Biao was already riding a tiger.

He can either go off the air now and pretend nothing happened, or break the news.

Geng Biao felt that his heart was beating fast. He remembered the previous two experiences of being deceived by Xu Ye.

He remembered it all.

After some psychological struggle, Geng Biao decided to break the news!

Geng Biao said slowly: "Everyone, wait a moment, I will post the actual results on my homepage now."

He sent out the video he had prepared in his draft box.

The video was exactly the one sent to him by Zuowangdao.

"It's been sent out, you can go to my homepage to read it," Geng Biao said.

A large group of viewers immediately flocked to Geng Biao's personal homepage and clicked to view the latest video.

After everyone watched the latest video, everyone was shocked.

"Damn it, it's really Xu Ye!"

"When did they divorce?"

"What a shocking giant melon!"

Just when the audience was about to click on the comment area to comment, they found that there were already comments in the comment area after clicking in.

The person who commented was none other than Xu Ye.

"I'm just waiting for you. Come to my homepage to watch my latest video."

Everyone quickly clicked on Xu Ye's homepage.

There is a hot video that was just released on the homepage.

After clicking in, it was still Xu Ye and Xiao Xu in the video. Their clothes and the content of the conversation were exactly the same as in Geng Biaofa's video.

The difference is that this video was shot from a different perspective, and it was shot openly.

This video is a bit longer than Geng Biaofa’s video.

When Xu Ye finished saying that we were divorced, Xiao Xu was so aggrieved that he was speechless, and his acting was very vivid.

After a few seconds she burst into laughter.

"Stop making trouble and come home with me!" Xiao Xu said with a smile.

"Do you think anyone will believe it?" Xu Ye asked.

The video ends here.

For a moment, all netizens who saw this video had their eyes widened.

After three days of fermentation, almost everyone was sure that the person Geng Biao was talking about was Xu Ye!

There was no response from Xu Ye, so it was basically confirmed that this was Xu Ye!

Until the moment when Geng Biao released the secretly filmed video, everyone was sure that the person getting divorced was Xu Ye!

But once Xu Ye posted this video, everything was ruined.

Xu Ye's reaction was too fast!

He seemed to have known what Geng Biao was going to say for a long time and was already prepared to deal with it.

You think what you filmed is real, but in fact it was all performed by Xu Ye and Xiao Xu.

"You're crazy! You two were filming a short video, and the paparazzi happened to take it?"

"This video does not seem to be fake. It can be determined that the two videos were shot at the same time."

"So, the paparazzi were deceived by Xu Ye?"

"Or is this a joint operation between the paparazzi and Xu Ye?"

"It's not the paparazzi, right? Didn't Xu Ye offend all the paparazzi?"

On the other side, Geng Biao also finished watching Xu Ye’s video.

After reading it, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his mind went blank.

Too fast!

Xu Ye's reaction this time was too fast, as if everything was planned by him.

If Xu Ye sent this clarification video one day after he posted the video, it can be said that Xu Ye is cheating.

But Xu Ye's clarification video was released within a few seconds after he posted it. This is not fraud, this is preparation!

"Am I being fooled again?" Geng Biao was confused.

Tonight, several topics have become hot searches.

"The paparazzi broke the news about Xu Ye's divorce", "the paparazzi overturned", "Xu Ye clarified the video", "the paparazzi was deceived by Xu Ye for the third time"...

Such topics are accompanied by huge popularity.

Among these topics, there is a word that has been mentioned by many netizens, and then spread more and more widely.

That is "sitting and forgetting the way".

"The boss of Hongzhong is so playful!"

"Xu Ye is the way to sit and forget!"

"Give up paparazzi, you can't play Zuowangdao!"

In this incident, the word "Zuowangdao" quickly became popular, and "The Weird Fairy" was also remembered by many netizens.

The benefit is that on the Dingmin Chinese website, the results of "The Strange Fairy" began to soar rapidly.

This made editor Songfeng very excited.

He never expected that the influence of the book "The Weird Immortal" would actually break through the circle.

Now even Xu Ye is known as Zuowangdao. It’s hard to imagine whether this novel will be popular!

Matsukaze quickly sent a message to Howardby.

"You're going to be hot!"

After a while, Howardby replied to him.

"Don't worry, it will get even hotter."

Songfeng was a little confused.

Zuowangdao has already left the circle, how could it become more popular?

What could be more popular than this?

On the other side, Geng Biao was already depressed.

He was tricked by Xu Ye again.

Even this time he failed without enjoying the joy of success.

Who would have thought that Xu Ye was actually filming a short video!

At this moment, Geng Biao also felt something was wrong.

Every time I get cheated, it seems to have something to do with Brother Xiaozuo!

And there is a second half of this video, why didn’t Brother Xiaozuo mention it?

On the Internet, many netizens used this meme in his comment area.

Geng Biao took out his mobile phone and searched for what Zou Wangdao meant, and then found the book "The Tao Weird Immortal".

Suddenly he realized a problem.

“Brother Xiaozuo, isn’t it called Zuowangdao?!”

Geng Biao felt a flash of light flash across his mind, and he was just a few seconds away from catching it.

Geng Biao quickly analyzed it in his mind.

Suddenly, it occurred to him!

"The Strange Fairy Tale is a novel that was just updated this year! The Tao of Oblivion is the main theme in the novel!"

"Brother Xiaozuo was named a few years ago!"

"It can't be such a coincidence, there's something wrong with it!"

Geng Biao's eyes lit up, and he sent a message to Brother Xiaozuo.

"Are you Howard Bea, the author of Weird Fairyland?"

In Geng Biao's opinion, there was only one reason.

Most people can't think of the word "Zuowangdao". The only explanation is that Brother Xiaozuo is Howard Bee himself.

The person he knew was an online novel author!

After seeing Geng Biao's inquiry, Xu Ye frankly admitted that he was the author of "The Taoist Weird Immortal". There was nothing to hide.

The next second, Geng Biao asked: "Did you lie to me on purpose? You clearly knew what happened next."

"Yes." Xu Ye admitted directly.

Geng Biao was furious.

"What are you planning?"

Xu Ye replied: "Look at my name."

Geng Biao looked at the name, where the words "Zi Wangdao" were written.

For a moment, Geng Biao was convinced.

It’s really **** like sitting and forgetting!

You just want to have fun!

After that, no matter what messages Geng Biao sent, Xu Ye would not reply.

Geng Biao couldn't help it. He really couldn't find who Zuowangdao was.

…

On Dingmin Chinese website, the book "The Weird Immortal" is becoming more and more popular, with an average subscription of more than 30,000 in one month.

After another month, the average booking exceeded 50,000, and the average booking increased to 20,000 in almost a month.

This is a very explosive result on the entire Chinese website of the finish line.

This book has become a top hit on the entire website.

The meme of "Zuowangdao" has become a hot meme on the Internet.

But it's not over yet.

One day, when netizens were browsing videos on the Xiaolan website, they saw a video called "Ziu Wangdao".

Everyone thought this was a second-generation video of a novel, but when they clicked on it, they discovered that it was a song.

The title of the song is called "Sitting and Forgetting the Way".

When everyone's eyes moved to the name of the up owner, they were all stunned.

This up owner is actually Xu Ye!

"Xu Ye wrote a song for Tao Wei Xian?"

"Howard is more promising. Xu Ye even wrote songs for his novels!"

"Am I right? Xu Ye, who has gone out of business, actually wrote songs for novels?"

Most of the people who can click on this video are fans of "The Strange Fairy".

The number of this group of book fans is also very large.

Of course, there are also some people who have fun on the Internet.

Although everyone has not read the novel, they still know what Zuowangdao means.

Everyone clicked on the video and listened.

This song was indeed posted by Xu Ye. On Earth, it was a song posted on Station B by a person called "Dynasty 1982".

This song was originally created for "The Tao Weird Fairy".

The singer is also a creator himself, and he is also one of the arrangers of "Mountains and Rivers".

After everyone clicked in, they felt that the style of this song was very different, and it matched perfectly with the novel.

"Hey, let's worship the mountain at night~"

"Whose hand is it to hook up with each other~"

"If you dare, just follow me~"

"If you don't do one, you won't stop~"

After listening to the entire song, netizens quickly commented in the comment area.

"I didn't expect that the TV series Dao Wei Xian would actually invite Xu Ye to star, and the theme song would be released."

"This song is very nice. I want to play a weird and fairy game!"

"Isn't it an anime? There's no game at all!"

"The boss of Hongzhong is so playful!"

The song quickly reached No. 1 on the Little Bad Station charts.

This is Xu Ye's song, and it has a completely different impact!

These are all in Xu Ye's plan.

The success of "The Strange Fairy" is inseparable from these second-generation works.

Among these second-generation songs, there were a few that were quite good, so Xu Ye simply released them.

The only thing he regrets is that no one has guessed that he is Howardby yet.

This name, Huo Hua's pen, didn't write it clearly, so why didn't anyone guess it?

Later, Xu Ye successively released several second songs about "The Strange Fairy".

With his help, the sales of "The Strange Immortal" directly exceeded 60,000 average subscriptions and are still growing.

On the Internet, a group of people are also discussing who "Howardby" is.

This author is so mysterious that no information can be found. He never participates in the activities of the Dingmin Chinese website and never shows up.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

"The Strange Fairy" has also been updated to its finale, and its average subscription has exceeded 100,000.

Such excellent results have also attracted a large number of authors to follow suit, but other authors can only learn superficially and not the essence at all.

Some readers joked: "You can't write well because you are not sick. Howard is really sick!"

After finishing writing "The Weird Immortal", Xu Ye was very depressed.

It's hard to believe that no one guessed that he was Howard Bi.

He wrote songs for "Tao Wei Xian", which seemed very normal to everyone. This is what he can do.

After all, this is free publicity for a novel, and ordinary celebrities would not do such a thing.

As the year enters 2022, the Destination Chinese website has begun preparations for the annual meeting of authors.

Authors who can attend the annual meeting must be authors with very good grades.

Howardby is also on the invitation list for the annual meeting.

Editor Songfeng sent a message to Xu Ye.

"You don't have to participate in other activities. You have to come to this year's annual meeting. Let me tell you something. Didn't Xu Ye write songs for your novel? We also invited Xu Ye this year. You didn't expect it. Bar!"

Matsukaze said this with a somewhat showy tone.

Xu Ye even said that he was out of business, but he could still come to the annual meeting of the Dingmin Chinese website. For a top-notch person of this level to attend, it was a symbol of prestige.

Xu Ye on the opposite side pretended to be very excited and said: "Really? Then I have to go this time!"

In fact, he already knew about this.

"Send your identity information and we will help you book hotels and air tickets," Songfeng said.

"No, I'll go with my wife and we'll order it ourselves." Xu Ye replied.

"Alright."

Songfeng didn't say anything more.

Howard is now an author with a monthly subscription of RMB 100,000, which is not much less than the hotel and air tickets.

When the annual meeting was about to be held, Dingmin Chinese website also released the news that Xu Ye was coming to attend the annual meeting and would sing the song "Zi Wangdao" on the stage.

The writers of the Dingmin Chinese website have long been excited.

But compared to Xu Ye, everyone is more concerned about whether Howard will come.

This author can be said to be the most mysterious author on the Dingmin Chinese website so far.

Xu Ye has come to sing for "The Strange Fairy", so you, the author, have to come.

These authors inquired about the situation from the editor, and Howard would come to attend the annual meeting.

"This time I finally get to see Howard in person."

"Seeing Xu Ye compete with Howard once, this annual meeting is worth it."

"I don't know how old Howard is. Is he mentally ill?"

Many authors discuss it.

Netizens are also discussing Xu Ye's attendance at the annual meeting of the Dingmin Chinese website.

Time soon came to the day of the annual meeting.

Since the day, Howard Bi has not participated in any activities. If Songfeng hadn't been able to contact Howard Bi, he would have thought that Howard Bi had not come.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony and annual meeting performances of the Destination Chinese Network have begun.

In the auditorium, there was an empty seat next to editor Matsukaze, and a note saying "Howard than" was posted on the seat.

However, even after the performance started, the chair was still empty.

Songfeng couldn't help but become a little anxious.

He sent several messages to Howard, but no one responded, and no one answered his Internet phone calls.

"What's going on? Is Howard here?"

"That shouldn't be the case. He will definitely win an award at tonight's award ceremony. Wouldn't it be too bad if he doesn't come?"

"That's right. Xu Ye has come to sing for his book. Why don't you come here?"

A group of authors also discussed it.

After waiting for a while, it was Xu Ye's turn to perform on stage.

As soon as he appeared, the audience burst into applause.

The media at the scene were also very excited.

Normally there wouldn't be so many media at the scene, but there were so many media today, and everyone was here to take pictures of Xu Ye.

After Xu Ye came on stage, he sang a song called "Zi Wang Dao", and then he came off the stage and returned to the guest seats.

After waiting for a while, the award-giving guests came on stage and were ready to present the awards.

Matsukaze was ready to take the stage.

Howard Bi won the award this time, but so far Howard Bi has not come to the scene, so he, the editor, can only accept the award on his behalf.

At this moment, Matsukaze received a message.

[Howardby: I was there. 】

Songfeng looked around subconsciously, but saw no one. He didn't know what Howard looked like.

But this news is already good news.

Matsukaze immediately replied: "It's good to be here, get ready to go on stage to receive the award."

The guests on the stage also began to make announcements.

“The winner for Emerging Writer of the Year is Howard Bee.”

After the words fell, the introduction video of "The Weird Immortal" appeared on the big screen.

The host also followed up and said: "Howard, please come on stage to accept the award."

For a time, everyone's eyes in the entire venue were focused on the stage, and everyone was waiting for Howard to come on stage.

Everyone wants to know what the person who wrote such a masterpiece as "The Strange Immortal" looks like!

At this moment, Xu Ye stood up in the guest seat, straightened his collar and walked towards the stage.

A group of celebrities nearby were a little confused.

"Xu Ye, what are you going to do?"

"This is an award ceremony for other authors, it has nothing to do with you."

Some celebrities reminded.

Xu Ye said calmly: "I am the author."

After the words fell, the stars were stunned.

What's the meaning?

Are you Howardby?

Several fast-thinking celebrities here suddenly realized something.

"Howard, Huohua's pen! It's really Xu Ye!"

At this time, everyone saw Xu Ye slowly walking onto the stage and walking to the side of the presenting guest.

The award presenters and host were also stunned.

This script is wrong. Why is Xu Ye here?

Shouldn't it be Howardby who comes up?

Matsukaze stared at the stage with wide eyes. At this time, he suddenly thought of something.

When he applied for information one time, he looked at Howardby's real-name authentication name, which was called Xu Ye.

At that time, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was the same name.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Isn't Xu Ye just Howard?

Xu Ye didn't give everyone much time to wonder. After he walked onto the stage, he said slowly: "Hello everyone, I am Howard Bi."

For a moment, the whole place was in a state of shock.

Internet article writers, editors, and executives of Dingmin Chinese Network were all shocked.

Xu Ye is Howard!

Howard is Xu Ye!

Not only them, but also a group of viewers on the Internet who were watching the live broadcast were also shocked.

Countless barrages flew past the live broadcast room.

"Boss Hongzhong, you are so playful!"

"No wonder, no wonder, the homophony of Howard than is Huo Hua's pen!"

"You are such a bastard!"

Among these audiences, there is another audience with a relatively unique identity.

He is Geng Biao.

Geng Biao had no other interest in watching this live broadcast. He mainly wanted to know what Brother Xiaozuo looked like.

He wanted to know who was under the mask of Zaowangdao who had deceived him!

When Xu Ye walked onto the stage, Geng Biao already had the answer in his heart.

When Xu Ye introduced himself, Geng Biao's body collapsed on the sofa in the room.

In an instant, everything he couldn't figure out before had an answer.

Brother Xiaozuo is Xu Ye, and Howard is also Xu Ye.

It is precisely because they are all Xu Ye that this scam can be seamless!

Geng Biao thought of that night in 2016.

That was the first time he met Brother Xiaozuo.

He squatted downstairs at Xu Ye's house.

The person who greeted him wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat was Xu Ye!

This scam has deceived people from 2016 to 2022!

It turns out that you really have forgotten the way!

Geng Biao was heartbroken.

On the stage, the award presenter asked: "Are you really Howard?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Yes, it's Huohua's pen."

The audience in the audience was already excited.

A group of online article writers were even more shocked.

The author they have been thinking about for almost a year is actually Xu Ye!

The most important thing is that his pen name was Howardby, and they didn't expect it to be Xu Ye.

"It's really fun!"

“It is truly a top-notch Zaiwangdao!”

"You are really sick!"

However, the authors have no objections to Xu Ye.

In the Internet literary world, strength speaks for itself.

The book "The Tao Weird Immortal" is well written, and everyone agrees on this point.

No matter Xu Ye's identity, his strength in the Internet literary circle is recognized by everyone.

He achieved an average score of 100,000 yuan without revealing that he was Xu Ye. This is a real result!

After Xu Ye received the award and left the stage, he walked to the seat next to editor Songfeng and sat down.

This time he sat in Howardby's seat.

Matsukaze gave him a thumbs up.

"You're awesome!"

Songfeng was speechless. What Xu Ye did was not a human thing!

It is conceivable that the Internet will be very lively after tonight.

After the annual meeting, some related topics have become hot searches.

The news that Xu Ye is Howard Bi also spread throughout the Internet.

When everyone learned the news, they were all shocked.

Xu Ye was out of business in the entertainment industry, but he took advantage of Xiao Xu's pregnancy to write an online novel and rose to the top.

You know, an online novel like "The Strange Fairy" will definitely be adapted into a film and television drama.

In addition, the book itself is a big IP, and the actors who can star in the adapted drama must be popular stars.

When this book was just finished, many companies came to Dingmin.com and wanted to buy the copyright to adapt it.

There are also some fans of popular celebrities or the companies behind them who are adding fuel to the fire and want to win the starring role of this big IP.

But if Xu Ye is the author of "The Weird Immortal", then these people can just go to sleep.

The lead actors have nothing to do with them anymore.

The copyright of "The Fairy Tale" is in the hands of Xu Ye, and there is a high probability that Xu Ye or an actor from the same company will play the role of Li Huowang.

The enthusiasm of the melon-eaters was also ignited, which also caused the novel, which had been completed for several months, to be ranked first on the best-seller list on the Chinese website of Qidian.

In particular, a group of patients from Huohua Mental Hospital rushed to the book review area to check in and leave messages.

"This is the first time I downloaded the Dingmin Chinese app. I made a special trip to support the dean. To show my respect, I rewarded you with a golden alliance. Although it's not much, it's not real either."

"Brothers, the Tao Weird Immortal has appeared in the game, and his spokesperson is Xu Ye!"

"New readers, don't be deceived by the people in the book review section. This is just a novel with no games or comics. These deceptions are about an organization called Jian Tiansi in the novel. Zuo Wangdao is the decent person in the novel, and there are also The author of this novel is a star in the entertainment industry named Zhang Ye, and Zhang Ye also has a cousin named Xu Ye.”

"This is a harem story!"

Under the huge influx of netizens, the book review area was completely in chaos, even more chaotic than the Northwestern Shanxi Province.

I can't tell which of your words is true and which is false.

On the other side, Xu Ye has returned to the hotel.

He lay on the bed and boarded the Zuowangdao trumpet.

On the trumpet, Geng Biao sent him a dozen messages each.

Xu Ye automatically filtered out the abusive messages and looked at the last message Geng Biao sent him.

"Xu Ye, you are so **** sick!"

Xu Ye clicked on the transfer and transferred 4,200 yuan to Geng Biao.

This was all transferred to him by Geng Biao before.

"I have kept this money for so many years, and I haven't spent any of it. I will give it all back to you."

"Finally, I have something to say."

"Brother, you are so kind."

(End of chapter)
