Chapter 135 (1/2)

The Grand Finale was Enjoyable

Zhao Youyue did not expect this “Lin Jianzhong” to film the ridiculous plot that she created in the “Two Dimensional Gate” in its raw, mad entirety, how reckless can he be?

How did the crew even agree to this?

The “Two Dimensional Gate” was indeed incredible, whenever the author wants to turn his inspiration into reality, others who helped would also be in on it with all of their hearts.

Of course, Zhao Youyue did not know that the studio has canceled the series. Enraged, the director had decided to film the whole script, the script that he wrote when he was as inspired as he was drunk, so that it would make it to the news!

Since the war film I created was ‘boring’ and those blasted viewers never once gave it a good rating, screw it all, I’ll just go loco here these were the thoughts of the director.

After Zhao Jiayi snapped out of his shock, he complained, “What is this director on? He created something so ridiculous, this must be some kind of joke, this is an insult to all war films! How blasphemous…”

“Well, such things exist! I don’t mind it at all, I find it rather quite interesting. Even though I’ve never seen the previous episodes, but now even I feel like watching the past episodes to understand the plot better. War films these days are too solemn and serious…” Wang Hua refuted her husband.

“What? Too solemn and serious? Blood is spilled in wars, it’s not like you expect everyone to sing along at campfires!”

“Oh, that will still be boring.”

“You…”

“Let’s just continue watching, shall we?” Zhao Youyue piped up, she certainly did not want to see her mom and dad quarrel again.

“That reminds me, Youyou. You knew that this director was going to do something, didn’t you?” Zhao Jiayi felt suspicious.

“Mmhmm, but I never expected that he would do something like this, this war film is certainly mystical.” Zhao Youyue chuckled.

Zhao Jiayi did not bother probing any further. She probably had her sources, or knew an extra in the cast.

Zhao Jiayi knew that his daughter was good at socializing with other people, even though she was just ordinary in every aspect. She could blend in very well, and people would easily connect to her, and would easily pull her into their circles.

Zhao Jiayi knew his daughter like the back of his hand. Now that Zhao Youyue had blended into the field of network literature and manga, she has become a famous reader. She would receive numerous invitations to fan gatherings of well-known authors, but unfortunately, she did not have much free time, as she was still attending high school.

As time passed, false rumors had begun spreading, saying that tycoon “Youyue” was actually a guy, or she was ugly, and thus will never show herself in public.

Those who spread the rumors were the ones who had never seen the photos of Su Li and Zhao Youyue that were shared in the author’s group before. Sadly those photos would be removed from the chat servers after some time.

Zhao Youyue did not have the energy to entertain these rumors because they were not on the same level as her, they should at least know the basic information of tycoon “Youyue” by now.

Zhao Youyue was considered an experienced reader in Qidian, because she was more involved in the field of authors, compared to amateur readers and authors. She also knew how Qidian operated, and knew how to pick out a good book from the extensive list of titles.

Basically, books that were on the top twenty can be omitted, because eighty percent of them were fixed by people, the High Gods who had no “godly expertise” would need the fabricated clicks of their minions to retain their ranking.

Those High Gods who had “godly expertise” would need no one to fabricate their statistics. What is this godly expertise? Readers would recognize the author, where after reading one of their books, they would want to read their other books. When they start reading a new book from the same author, they would start off by tipping a Sect Master to encourage the author. Such was an author with “godly expertise”.

For those who manipulated their book ranking, they did not do it every month because they certainly did not want their dark secrets to be exposed, and it would go on like this in an endless cycle. To them, it was just like using the resources that gained from a war in order to continue the war.

Long story short, those experienced readers in Qidian knew that the ranking board could not be trusted. The ranking board would be a battlefield of the “rich players”, and some people would spend most of their money to emulate the impression of a High God. Of course, they would not gain any profit from it, but they certainly enjoyed its process. While some people would only spend part of their money to gain more popularity or exposure, in order to achieve a balanced income…

Under these circumstances, Zhao Youyue, who had a significantly influential booklist would ultimately be the big winner!

Because the ranking boards could not be trusted, many readers can no longer find books that they liked. Over time, experienced readers would start looking for books from privately recommended booklists, while amateur readers would still be looking on the ranking boards, searching for the book they all wanted to read. They would not know that higher rankings did not always mean higher quality. Those rankings were a farce.

Zhao Youyue would never recommend a book as a favor for a friend, she insisted that she only adds in her favorite books to her booklist, and this had made her booklist even more popular.
