Chapter 68 Preparing to Watch the Joke
Lu Yuan felt a little awkward staying at Liu Yifei's house, mainly because he felt embarrassed when he saw Liu Xiaoli.
So she took the initiative to prepare a sumptuous meal and asked Xixi to call her mother back for dinner.
When Liu Xiaoli returned home in the afternoon and saw the meal Lu Yuan had prepared, her satisfaction with him increased even more.
So he stayed at Xixi's house for another night, and the two of them were reluctant to part.
After returning to his dorm, Lu Yuan also got to work; the money from Youku had already arrived in his account.
Lu Yuan got what he was entitled to, and he decided to buy the rights to another novel.
This time it was his own money, so he took it himself; that was his own strategic vision.
There's a limit to how much you can bring your friends along; as long as you can lead them down this path and make a lot of money, that's enough.
At the time, he genuinely didn't have the money for "The Journey of Flower" and needed to borrow money from them, which is why he gave up his share of the profits.
Now that he has money, of course he'll use his own money to buy the copyrights.
Later, he will also start his own company and make some investments.
These cannot be done together with several people.
Finally, he contacted Jinjiang Literature City and bought the rights to "Go Princess Go".
While he was making the contact, other people were also preparing to buy.
He added 50,000 yuan, spending a total of 250,000 yuan to buy the online adaptation rights to "Go Princess Go".
In fact, he also wanted to buy the rights to shows like "Nirvana in Fire," "My Sunshine," and "Goodbye My Princess."
Unfortunately, all of these copyrights have already been sold, and this year at that.
It can only be said that the timing of his rebirth caused him to miss out on these works.
For him, the most regrettable thing is "Nirvana in Fire" because this drama is really good.
So now he has set a goal for himself: to work hard to make money.
Take a look at the novels on various online novel platforms. If you find one that you like and that hasn't sold its rights yet, then go for it.
These can also be considered an investment, and he doesn't want to miss out on many opportunities.
Even if I can't film it myself in the future, I still have a few people in my dorm. They would be more than happy to be the directors.
Back in the dorm, three pairs of eyes turned to him simultaneously.
"Oh... I thought you'd been tricked into joining a pyramid scheme," Huang Daoji joked.
"You had a good time these past two nights, didn't you?" Wang Xing blinked a few times.
"When are you going to bring your Fei-jie out so we can meet her?" Chen Keyu asked him.
He knew that these three people would definitely not miss the opportunity to question him.
He was just waiting for me to get back to the dorm so he could tease me.
He hasn't come back for the past two nights, so the three guys are definitely overthinking it. There's no point in him explaining now.
Because if he were one of the three of them, he wouldn't believe he hadn't done anything either.
"Well, Sister Fei is away on a business trip. I'll introduce you to her when I have time later."
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and decided to make up another reason so that he could introduce Fei Jie to them later.
Huang Daoji sighed, "Alas... my rich wife, how much longer will I have to wait!"
"I knew it was your rich wife!" Lu Yuan looked at him irritably.
This guy is just a smart aleck. I might ask Xixi to introduce him to someone, but he wouldn't dare.
The four chatted for a while longer before going about their own business.
After a few days of rest, the four of them got back to filming "Unexpected".
The main problem with "Unexpectedly" is the cheap, low-quality special effects in post-production, which required hiring another studio to produce them.
Fortunately, this is the industry I studied, so I was able to find some ordinary studios.
Moreover, they found a student-run startup studio, which was also inexpensive.
The special effects were originally only 50 cents each, and since they were cheap, they really didn't cost much.
They still cast the actors themselves, and if they need pretty girls, they'll find actresses.
They are still quite famous at school. If they ask people from the performing arts department to film for them, they will come in droves even if it's free.
Overall, the high cost of filming "Unexpected" was mainly in the special effects.
This is nothing to them, who already have a lot of money.
They split the profits from "Six and a Half" among themselves, and also set aside a considerable amount of money to continue operating the studio.
Lu Yuan got busy, while Liu Yifei continued with her own career.
However, their daily phone calls were a fixed routine, and they were inseparable, not wanting to miss a single call.
Lu Yuan waited until the day of the apocalypse, but it seems that all that happened was some ambiguous topics about Liu Yifei and Zeng Yike appearing online.
Only then did he realize that he might have remembered it wrong.
Zeng Yike only mentioned wanting to be with Liu Yifei during an interview; she hasn't made any big moves yet.
He then remembered that it was Christmas Eve, the very day Zeng Yike was to release the recording.
Liu Yifei was somewhat happy to see her good friend being interviewed today.
However, when she saw many online comments saying that their relationship was romantic and that they might be lesbians, she frowned.
At this point, she realized that something seemed a little off, but she felt that she might be overthinking it!
That's unlikely; the two are just good friends.
Lu Yuan, of course, wouldn't let this topic pass by, and prepared to tease her.
"Hey Xi, someone wants to drag you away with them."
"Are you jealous that someone gave it to my best friend?" Liu Yifei replied with a smile.
"Yes, even if it's the end of the world, I'll be with you."
"You little man, all you do is get jealous, and you're even jealous of a woman. I'm really impressed with you."
She was both amused and exasperated by Lu Yuan's words, but she was also very happy inside.
"Who knows if someone really has feelings for you? There are rumors circulating online about you two..."
"Lu Yuan... I'm your girlfriend, how could I be a lesbian!"
"You know what's going on online; a lot of it is just hearsay."
"Hehe...just kidding, of course I know my wife isn't a lesbian."
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Just thinking about what would happen next and how he could have a good laugh with Xixi made him feel quite amused.
"I'm not your wife!"
"that is."
……
The two chatted for a long time, and it was very late before they reluctantly hung up the phone.
During this time, Lu Yuan subtly reminded Xixi, but did not say it outright.
She didn't need to ask; if that was the case, she would find out later.
He was eager to see what would happen, and Liu Yifei also felt there was no need to ask.
She felt like a good sister, just like Shu Chang; it was all just those netizens making a fuss.
My best friend wanted to be with me during the apocalypse, so what's wrong with that? It doesn't seem like there's anything seriously wrong with it.
All I can say is that she herself is straight, so she doesn't know anything about lesbian matters.
She didn't take it seriously at all, but Zeng Yike was preparing for something big.
The two chatted and nothing else happened, which reassured Liu Yifei.
