"Damn, filming in an internet cafe?!"
Wang Hao immediately opened his mouth wide, looking up at the sign. The café was named "Happy Dream Internet Cafe." It was clear from the décor that it was quite luxurious. But filming in a place like this... Is this a low-budget web drama crew?!
Brother Li directly showed his work ID: "I'm Li Mingyu. The actors that Zhou sent me to bring are all here."
Zhou was probably someone with considerable authority in this crew. Upon hearing the name, the staff member immediately let them through: "Follow me, and remember not to wander around inside to avoid any trouble."
Entering the internet cafe, Wang Hao felt that the interior was a completely different world from the outside.
The cafe inside was huge. There were over 200 machines on the first floor alone. However, most of the machines had been moved to the sides, leaving only about thirty something in the center. A middle-aged man was there talking to what seemed to be two actors.
At that moment, a man in his forties walked over. He wore glasses and was a bit chubby. As soon as he approached, Li Mingyu greeted him: "Zhou, I've brought the people."
"Alright, let me take a look," Zhou sized up the four of them, then nodded satisfactorily: "They all look good, come with me."
Saying this, he led the way, and Wang Hao and the others hurried to follow. As they walked, Lu Tong asked: "Zhou, don't we need to audition? Do you think my outfit is okay?" He even purposely showed off to Zhou.
"Why would extras need an audition?" Zhou immediately laughed: "You folks are extras, extras, UNDERSTAND?" He pulled at Lu Tong's clothes: "Your outfit is too conspicuous. Change it later."
"Oh..." Lu Tong retreated with a face full of frustration.
Wang Hao almost burst out laughing. Served him right for showing off and hitting a snag.
They soon reached a private room in the café, which had been turned into a makeshift makeup area. When Wang Hao and the others entered, there wasn't much makeup needed for the four of them, just some powder to look better under the lights. The makeup process was quick, although Lu Tong took some time as he needed to change into simpler clothes.
After makeup, a crew member came to explain today's scene to them—
"Today's scene is about the male and female leads breaking up. The male lead tries to persuade her several times but fails. Feeling heartbroken, he comes to the internet café where they first met to use the internet and reminisce. Then, the female lead also shows up with the same thoughts, and they meet there."
"During their encounter, a few thugs hit on the beautiful female lead. The male lead resists, and a fight breaks out between them."
This plot sounded quite strange. Was web drama in this world so low-quality? Meeting in an internet café and fighting thugs? Wait, one side is the main characters, and the other side, thugs...
Wang Hao's hair stood on end: "Uh, are we playing the thugs?"
"Of course," the crew member said matter-of-factly: "Or did you think you were the male lead? Then, he explained: "So the male lead knows Kung Fu, get it? At first, you guys are beaten by the male lead, but then your boss comes down from upstairs and beats the male lead. However, the male lead would rather die than let the gangster boss touch the female lead. Then the police arrive, and the male lead is saved. The two reconcile. Got it?"
Wang Hao felt terrible.
So, we came all the way here early in the morning just to get beaten?
Fine, we'll endure it for the sake of life!
"So, crew brother, what am I playing?" The plot was just so-so, but it was a bit strange for Zheng Yue, a girl in the scene: "I can't be fighting the female lead, can I?"
As soon as she said this, Wang Hao immediately imagined a scene of two women scratching each other's faces...
Damn, was the world ending?
"Of course you don't have to get into a fight," the crew member said: "You're playing the gangster boss's woman, just stay behind the boss. OK?"
"Oh..." Zheng Yue nodded, signaling her understanding.
"Alright, since everyone understands, let's prepare," the crew member pointed to the two actors Wang Hao noticed when he first entered: "They will start fighting with the main characters, get beaten and fall to the ground. When you see things aren't going well, you rush in to help, understood? Oh, and remember, especially you!" The crew member pointed at Ma Ming: "Fake fighting, got it? Fake fighting! If you injure the actors, it's a big problem, understood?"
"Got it," Ma Ming replied hesitantly.
After introducing the scene, the crew member pointed to the few computers in the center: "Okay, you three guys prepare there, just use the internet. You," he pointed at Zheng Yue: "Come up to the second floor with me."
Wang Hao: "..."
Wow, can our luck get any better? Filming while using the internet? Hahahaha! We even saved the internet fee!
Such a great opportunity, what else is there to say? Break the Heavens, here I come!
When it came to using the internet, Wang Hao didn't mind at all. He was a bit nervous at first, but once seated in front of the computer, he didn't care about anything else. Since it wasn't his turn yet, he might as well upload his book...
Today, the luck dice had rolled a good fate, it was the perfect time to release a book!
Skillfully opening the webpage, he downloaded his manuscripts and entered the author's backend.
Then he clicked to create a new work. Soon the title and synopsis were ready, and he uploaded the chapters.
After uploading two chapters, the author's backend immediately sent a system message—
"Dear author Tiancandou, your novel 'Break the Heavens' has entered Fengyun Chinese Network's library. The editor will review your book within twenty-four hours. Please be patient."
This meant the work was successfully created. Wang Hao took a deep breath and clicked to manage his work. The moment he saw the title 'Break the Heavens' and its number, he was stunned!
Title: "Break the Heavens." Book number: 1688888.
Holy shit! What an awesome book number, today really is a lucky day, hahahahaha!
