Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 15
The next morning, not long after Bai Yu woke up, he found out about everything Zhu Yilong had done last night. The studio had shown him all the results of their work last night in the name of giving back to him.
"... Both of us will continue to be trending topics today. Both of you have enough traffic on Weibo. With the two of you working together, I guarantee that those messy things won't be able to create any waves. Don't worry!" The studio concluded in a comforting tone, and there was no lack of praise in their tone.
Bai Yu stared at his phone for a while before he remembered to reply to the other party.
"Thank you for your hard work!
I'll double your bonus when I get back. "
"Brother, I was waiting for you to say that!"
The studio was very happy and told him to focus on filming and not go on Weibo to post nonsense. Before he ended the call, he couldn't help but praise Zhu Yilong. "Brother Long is very loyal. You didn't make a friend for nothing."
"Of course!" Bai Yu's lips were curled up as he typed those two words.
He didn't expect Brother Long to do so much for him without saying a word.
He instinctively opened Weibo and looked at the various records left on it, as well as the black trending topic that had been completely suppressed. For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.
Brother Long!
You're such a good person. How could I bear to let you go?
For some reason, Zhao Yunlan's line from the movie popped up in his mind. Bai Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He felt that at that moment, he and the owner of the Soul Suppression Order had a telepathic connection.
At that moment, he recalled the conversation he had with Zhu Yilong last night. Zhu Yilong was so calm and collected that he didn't reveal anything to him at all. This made him feel even more emotional.
Brother Long was such a loyal person.
When he saw Zhu Yilong later, he had to praise him properly!
In the entertainment industry, it was really too difficult to make such a good friend at this age.
When Bai Yu first took on the role of "Soul Suppression," he never thought that they would get to where they were today.
Now that the movie had ended, their lives intersected even more.
This feeling was not bad at all.
Bai Yu rubbed the Goro\'S necklace on his neck. His fingers paused on the eagle claw. He suddenly felt that he had gained infinite courage from another person. It gave him more confidence in the various challenges that he would face in the future.
He and Brother Long had picked out this necklace together. Originally, they had bought the brother's necklace because of their similar aesthetic. Who would have thought that it would have a new meaning after this?
"System, are you there?"
[What are your orders, Host?]
The robotic female voice sounded again, just like the one in the Soul Suppressing World.
Bai Yu had only tried to call out, but she didn't expect to get a response.
Previously, the system had said that it was a host in the real world, and it was indeed referring to this necklace.
As for Brother Long, his necklace would definitely be able to connect to the system.
He probed, "In the real world, other than responding to us and bringing me and Brother Long to the world of the movie, what other functions do you have?"
[In the real world, most of the system's functions are in a locked state.]
The system replied, [But if the host is willing to pay contribution points, some functions can be activated.]
"For example?"
[The host can establish a special communication channel with host number two. It only costs 50 contribution points to activate a permanent voice communication channel. After this function is activated, the two hosts can communicate in a fixed direction and the content of the communication will not be detected by others. 500 contribution points to activate a permanent video communication channel. After this function is activated, the two hosts can communicate in a fixed direction and the content of the video will not be detected by others. 1000 contribution points to activate a fixed direction teleportation. This is a one-time function with no time limit and no region limit.]
"Sounds pretty cool.
But it doesn't seem to be of much use for the time being. "
Wenyan Baiyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The third function was fine, but the first two didn't sound any different from the functions of a mobile phone.
Most importantly, no matter how good these functions sounded, they didn't have any contribution points to exchange for them.
The system didn't comment on his evaluation. Most of the time, unless the host took the initiative to ask, it wouldn't give a response. It was so quiet that it didn't seem to exist.
Bai Yu was very satisfied with the state of the system. After satisfying his curiosity, he put the necklace in his lapel. He still had to go to the set to work in a while. The necklace didn't fit Luo Fei's character, so naturally, he couldn't wear it outside.
When he arrived at the set, a few colleagues who were on good terms with him came to greet him. Obviously, they more or less knew that he had been criticized on Weibo yesterday and wanted to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu came to work with a happy face. He looked as if he hadn't been affected by the bloody storm on Weibo yesterday. No, it wasn't just that. His mood wasn't affected at all. In fact, he seemed to be even better than yesterday.
Someone took advantage of Bai Yu's easygoing attitude and was more familiar with him and asked tentatively, "Big Bai, did something good happen to you? Why are you so happy so early in the morning?"
"Something good did happen to me."
Bai Yu replied with a bright smile. "I met a pretty good person. I plan to invite him to eat chicken together tonight."
That person obviously didn't get the joke in his sentence and was a little confused. However, he tactfully didn't continue to ask. There were also people who didn't have enough EQ who heard him and teased him.
"Hey?
Did you meet a new friend?
Didn't you eat chicken together with Brother Long before? "
As soon as he said this, someone immediately jeered, "Yeah, aren't you two brothers of Soul Suppressor?
The show just ended. Are you guys going to break up the couple so soon? "
"Hmph ~" Bai Yu sneered. "We're open and honest. We've never been a couple before. How can we break up the couple?
Tonight, I'm going to eat chicken together with Brother Long. Everyone, work hard. Let's finish early today. I'll go back and play a few rounds with him. "
His open attitude was obviously very popular with his colleagues. Everyone gathered and laughed for a while. When the director came to call them to work, they dispersed and got ready to start work.
…
Compared to Bai Yu, Zhu Yilong's side was much quieter.
He rushed to work very late last night and finished filming the night scenes for the next two days. He could have a good rest this morning.
He didn't have many scenes in the afternoon. There were only two scenes, one solo scene and one group scene. He estimated that he would be done in two hours.
That was why he could stay up late last night and watch the data feedback without any scruples. He didn't return to the hotel with peace of mind until he was sure that the smoke-free war had come to an end. He slept until late in the morning.
After waking up in the morning, Zhu Yilong checked the situation on Weibo again. He was relieved when he confirmed that the black trending topic didn't bounce back and was dropping again and again.
After he instructed the two studios not to let their guard down, he leisurely got up and washed up. Then, he took out the script of Soul Suppressor and planned to review the upcoming plot.
Due to various edits in the drama version of Soul Requiem, many parts of the plot were not as coherent as the script.
Although the content in the script was very simple, the story was relatively complete. There were many foreshadowing that wasn't shown in the drama, but were actually mentioned in the script.
He was flipping through the script now to find the foreshadowing that was ignored in the drama and see if there was anything worth using.
They had to return to the world of the drama tonight and continue to complete the main mission given by the system.
They couldn't really follow the original plot in that world. Not only would it take too much time, but according to the system's requirements, they definitely couldn't follow the plot that didn't make sense.
If they wanted to change the ending, they had to change the tragedy from the beginning. Only then would they have enough chips to go up against Ye Zun.
Speaking of Ye Zun, although he was the one who played the role of Ye Zun, the character's personality and experience were not portrayed in the movie version.
In other words, his character was incomplete. Whether it was in the drama or in the script, it was incomplete.
Therefore, Zhu Yilong couldn't be sure if his thoughts when playing Ye Zun were the same as Ye Zun's in the drama.
However, he was sure of one thing. This guy was definitely in the late stages of chuunibyou, and it was the kind that couldn't be treated easily.
Therefore, if they wanted to resolve the twisted hatred in Ye Zun's heart by explaining what happened 10,000 years ago, it was obviously unrealistic.
People like Ye Zun had lived in a twisted environment since he was young. His thoughts couldn't be understood by common sense. If Zhu Yilong walked up to him as the Black-Robed Envoy and told him that he didn't abandon his younger brother 10,000 years ago, but was beaten down a cliff, with Ye Zun's personality, it was very likely that he would treat it all as a lie made up by Zhu Yilong.
In the final scene of the drama, the two of them easily resolved the knot in their hearts. This kind of ending that was close to a "great reunion" was too idealistic. It was just a forced reunion that was in line with the core socialist values of the drama.
Strictly speaking, it didn't conform to Ye Zun's setting at all. In other words, it was a real OOC.
Because if it was so easy to resolve the knot in their hearts, Shen Wei would have woken up from his deep sleep for so long and seen Ye Zun so many times. It was impossible that he had never mentioned it before.
Therefore, in order to get rid of Ye Zun, they had to find a way to make him believe that he wasn't abandoned 10,000 years ago, or they had to stop him from causing trouble in the first place.
Zhu Yilong repeatedly flipped through the script and constantly analyzed Ye Zun's personality. In his opinion, the latter had a much higher chance of success than the former. After all, they now knew the whereabouts of the Four Sacred Artifacts. As long as they obtained the Four Sacred Artifacts first, they could use the Sacred Artifacts to seal Ye Zun again.
But the problem was, would such an ending be approved by the system?
On this point, Zhu Yilong couldn't be sure. Therefore, all the ideas he had now were just armchair strategies.
When he returned to the world of the drama, he would look for Bai Yu to study it together to determine the direction of the plot.
