This book number made Wang Hao feel all kinds of exhilaration. Striking while the iron was hot, he hurried to show off in various author groups—
Wang Ritian: "Hahahaha, brothers, my book is amazing!"
Lala Hong: "What's going on? You're writing a book too? What's your book that makes you so proud? Share a screenshot!"
Knight: "Yeah, share a screenshot, share a screenshot!"
Wang Hao directly posted a screenshot of his book title and number for Break the Heavens in the group, and it immediately exploded!
Lala Hong: "Holy crap, this book number is incredible, dude, you hit it big! Just this book number must be worth thousands!"
Knight: "Seriously, this number is awesome, book numbers are like license plates. Yours is equivalent to a 16888 plate!"
Bones: "This is definitely fortune bestowed upon you! Seeking protection!"
Lala Hong: "Bro, can't read your book yet? Did you just upload it?"
Wang Ritian: "Yeah, just uploaded it, heh."
Lala Hong: "Then let me know once it passes review. I want to see what a fortune-blessed book looks like, hehe!"
Wang Ritian: "No problem!"
He excitedly chatted with some book friends in the group, completely unaware that the director was giving Lu Tong and Ma Ming a talking to: "Look at him, that's how you should be online. Do you see how naturally he's doing it? Naturally, understand? You go to the internet café and just sit there looking around without touching the keyboard, and then sweat coldly?!"
The director was around forty-four or forty-five years old. His name was Gao Mingxing, known in the industry as a prominent director with a nickname "Star Creator" since he developed several very popular new stars. He was currently filming a web series with the male and female leads he had groomed.
Upon hearing Director Gao's words, Lu Tong felt disgruntled and said, "He's just surfing the internet. Who doesn't know how to surf the internet? I was just trying to show off some acting skills..."
"You're an extra! An extra, do you get it?!" Director Gao shouted: "You're an extra! Understand your position! Don't steal the scene! Don't steal the scene, understand?! Just now, everyone was looking at you being all cocky. Were you having an epilepsy attack?!"
Huh? Who had an epilepsy attack?
Wang Hao, who was chatting with his online friends, was startled. He looked around and soon saw the director scolding Lu Tong, then instinctively asked, "What's going on? Who had an epilepsy attack? Was it you?"
Being looked down upon by a punk from a no-name university, Lu Tong gritted his teeth with hatred: "You're the one with epilepsy, your entire family has epilepsy!"
Damn it, looking for a fight, huh?!
Wang Hao immediately wanted to jump up and argue with Lu Tong, but before he could move, the director was displeased: "Are you jealous of his good performance? Look at how well he did at the beginning. Now look at you! I'm telling you, behave, or you'll be fired. Do you hear me?!"
On the set, the director was the absolute NO1. Even if it was the lead actors and actresses, if he told them to get lost, they'd get lost without a second thought.
"Okay... okay," Lu Tong agreed through gritted teeth, his face flushed red.
After he and Ma Ming sat back down, the director shouted: "Action!"
Oh, it looks like it's starting again. Wang Hao straightforwardly continued chatting in the group with his book friends—after all, it wasn't his turn yet. Free computer use shouldn't go to waste!
This time, Lu Tong and Ma Ming finally performed normally, looking somewhat into it. Wang Hao sneakily glanced around, then checked the author's backstage...
"Hello, your novel has officially passed the review. If the content is excellent, an editor will contact you for a contract. Please update stably. If you need any help, please contact customer service."
Wahahahaha! Sure enough, it passed the review so quickly!
Wang Hao was overjoyed. He was about to quickly publicize it in the group when the outside scene fabulously began!
Business first, promotion can wait. Better to spy on the performance up close!
Seeing the male lead, Wang Hao finally understood how over-the-top this world of web series could be!
The male lead was dressed in all black! A trench coat! Damn, wearing sunglasses in this internet café! So cool! If Wang Hao hadn't heard the crew explaining the plot earlier, he'd definitely think they were shooting The Matrix!
He entered the internet café, arrogantly tossed his ID card to the counter, and said in a low, sexy voice, "Get me a computer, a single one."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment," the counter girl took the ID card, turned on the computer, and then the male lead used two fingers to clip the ID card back like performing a magic trick, then pocketed it.
This still seemed normal. Wang Hao also knew it was the official filming stage. Anyway, feeling bored, he first copied the book's link, then added a message: "My new book, please take care. If you like it, please bookmark and recommend." Then he sent it to various groups.
As he was promoting his novel, he had just finished sending several messages when he received a series of system notifications—
"You have been kicked out of the Guiyuan God novel chat group."
"You have been kicked out of the Netherworld book lovers group."
"You have been kicked out of the Seven Luminaries Qiankun novel group."
In particular, one group owner named "Heavenly Dao Divine Race" even cursed: "Don't spam the group with your trash books! Get lost!"
"You have been kicked out of the Heavenly Dao Divine Race general group."
Damn it, I knew this would happen...
Kicked out? Dare to say my book is trash?!
Fortunately, Wang Hao had been mentally prepared for this. These messages couldn't be sent in bulk. He adjusted his mood, memorized the name "Laughing Divine Envoy" of the group owner, and then quickly prepared for filming.
Just then, the female lead appeared!
The female lead was impressive! It was only July! A scarf and sunglasses, and even wearing leather boots! Damn it! What season are you in? I don't understand! And she even had a hat on top! Wang Hao's jaw dropped, are you guys filming a Korean drama or what?! Damn it, what kind of bizarre outfits are you daring to wear nowadays! This is a filming set, do you have to be this avant-garde, buddy?!
And then Wang Hao realized that compared to that outfit, the upcoming plot was the real blast!
