At night.
He didn't get home until eight o 'clock.
Mom opened the door. "Why are you so late?"
"Someone invited me to endorse a commercial. We were discussing some matters," Zhang Ye said.
His father lowered the volume of the TV. "Endorsement? What advertisement? "
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "It's a health supplement. It's called Brain Gold. You will know when it goes on television in two days. It will definitely be broadcast before the new year."
His mother perked up. "How much?"
Zhang Ye said, "About a million RMB. A year's worth of speaking fees and advertising planning fees."
His mother was overjoyed and said, "That's quite a lot. All you have to do is come up with an idea to shoot an advertisement and then you don't have to worry about anything else. You get paid more than a million a year? This money is too easy to earn. It's much more than working at a television station. You've been working so hard on television programs for so long. How much is your monthly salary and bonus? It's not even comparable to the income you earn from endorsements. Why bother? In the future, I think you should just do endorsements and advertisements. If you endorse a few more products, won't the money come in like a waterfall? Hey, that's so nourishing! "
His father said in a speechless manner, "Why do you only care about money?"
Zhang Ye also laughed, "Mom, you don't understand. Look at how I can earn so much just by endorsing a commercial. Even if I don't do much, think about it. Why would people pay me so much to endorse their products? It's all because of my novels, poems, television programs, etc. It's because of the accumulation of popularity that people are willing to give me so much money. Otherwise, if I don't do any programs or work, without the support of popularity, who would want me to be their spokesperson? " Changing his way of explaining, he said, "It's just like the Spring Festival Gala in a few days. Everyone knows that going to the Spring Festival Gala doesn't earn a single cent, and they still have to pay for it. They have to pay for food and lodging, delay their work schedules, and even cancel a few of their scheduled commercial performances. But why is everyone still fighting to get on the Spring Festival Gala even if they have to pay for it? Isn't it all because of popularity? No matter how rich a celebrity is, they wouldn't be a celebrity without fame. Popularity is the foundation. "
Mom nodded. "That's true."
"Have you eaten, son?" his father asked.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I ate a boxed lunch, so I'm still full."
His mother said unhappily, "Why are you only eating boxed lunches? Mom will cook something good for you! "
"It's okay, Mom. I'm already full. I need to take a hot shower. I'm a little tired. By the way, Mom, someone gave me some tea. You and Dad should try it. It should be good tea." Zhang Ye went back to his room and took off his coat. Then he put on his long johns and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
…
In a small house.
It was very comfortable to lie down on the bed.
This year's Spring Festival Gala's program list had been released. It looked like they were in the midst of rehearsals. From it, Zhang Ye saw Zhang Yuanqi's name. The song's title was "Wishing We Last Forever". It was Zhang Ye's adaptation of "Shuidiao Getou: When Will the Moon Appear". This song might not be suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, but it wasn't a big deal. As long as the meaning of the song was beautiful, it was fine. Besides, this person was the Heavenly Queen, Zhang Yuanqi. She was a frequent guest at the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala.
Sigh, when would he have the chance to go up there?
Let's take it slow. His popularity was still not enough. This had to be slowly accumulated and could not be rushed. At this time next year, Zhang Ye could give it a try. As for now, his popularity was still lacking. The crux was that he did not have any works that could go up on the Spring Festival Gala. Recite a poem at the Spring Festival Gala? Recite a talk show? Recite a Three Kingdoms Dream of the Red Chamber or a ghost story? It would be a wonder if people did not scold him to death. There was no such precedent. It looked like he had to expand his development path this year. Either he could rely on his works to fight for the Spring Festival Gala's qualification next year, or he could take the path of a professional host and fight for the Spring Festival Gala's host? The latter was a little difficult.
Forget it. I'll think about it in the future.
Anyway, the song that he wrote and composed could go up on the Spring Festival Gala. This was also an honor. His popularity and in-game Reputation would also increase a little.
Reputation?
Right, let's have a draw!
His total Reputation points had already reached 40 million!
A few days ago, Zhang Ye felt that there was no need for this. He wanted to save some Reputation points to think about how to use them. But now, his Reputation points were increasing every day. There were not many items left in his inventory, so it was time to replenish them. Of course, he could not use them all in one go. He still had to save them for future use. Hmm, let's use 10 million. I'll give it a try first. If my luck was good, then I'll continue with the draw. In the past, 10 million Reputation Points would have been an astronomical figure to Zhang Ye, but now, this fellow was very rich and overbearing. He no longer cared too much about it. The more famous he was, the faster his Reputation Points would come. Naturally, he would also have to increase his Reputation Points. Otherwise, he would be like he was half a year ago, where he would feel the pinch for just 100,000 Reputation Points. That would be too shameful!
This bro has plenty of Reputation points now!
As long as the item he drew was of great use, it did not matter how much he spent it!
Zhang Ye generously opened the Lottery and bought one. When he saw the needle begin to spin, of course he had to Add Stakes. However, he had to observe the situation first. Today, Zhang Ye planned to Add Stakes on some Consumption Category items. After all, his inventory was almost empty. The Red Thread and Save Cards had been used up. His remaining items were only the two dice that could adjust the Reality Difficulty. Zhang Ye did not dare to use these items easily. The last plane hijacking had given him quite a fright. Like the Save Card? Like the Cupid Sachet? Any of them would do! With 10 million Reputation points, he could Place Additional Stakes 99 times. In the end, he could exchange it for a hundred of the same items. If he was really lucky enough to get that rare Lucky Bread again, he could get a hundred of them at once. Then forget about spending 10 million, even if Zhang Ye had to spend all of his 40 million Reputation points, it would be worth it. This was because this item was too amazing!
The needle slowed down.
Gradually, it was about to stop!
Zhang Ye's eyes were sharp. He quickly pressed the Additional Stakes and stopped the wheel. Then, he looked at the direction of the needle. It was already in the Consumption Category region. Furthermore, it had just entered. According to the situation and the slow speed of the needle, it should stop in the Consumption Category region. The chances were very high.
Whatever he wanted came true!
He could settle it in one try?
Zhang Ye was quite happy and decided to Place Additional Stakes!
How much? Add 1 million or 5 million? Or even 10 million? Thinking that he was a nouveau riche now, he was not lacking in these things. If he really got the Lucky Bread or something even better, then wouldn't he have made a killing? If he Placed Additional Stakes too little, then he would regret it. The more confidence he had, the more he would bet. Hence, Zhang Ye directly Placed Additional Stakes 99. He placed all 10 million Reputation points into it!
The lottery continued!
The needle slowly moved!
Bit by bit ….. bit by bit ….. bit by bit …..
However, perhaps because he had not played the lottery for a long time, Zhang Ye's perception of the wheel and the speed of the needle had become a lot worse. He saw the needle slowly move forward. Just as it was about to stop in the Consumption Category region, it actually moved forward a little more. Bada, it jumped to the next region!
Holy sh * t!
That was the Skills Category region!
Zhang Ye nearly teared up. Wasn't his luck too bad? Why didn't he get what he wanted!?
However, the Skills Category had given Zhang Ye quite a few good skills in the past. Even if it was a Network Technology skill book, or even a Lockpicking skill book, Zhang Ye had used them before. As such, he was no longer that depressed. When the Treasure Chests were scattered all over the ground, there was a total of 100 Golden Treasure Chests (Small). As there was not enough space in his house, the Treasure Chests were all stacked together. It was a spectacular sight. Zhang Ye reached out and opened the lids of the Treasure Chests one by one.
[Calligraphy Skill Experience Book] 100!
Seeing the chest full of Calligraphy Skill Experience Books, Zhang Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had obtained a few of these Skill Experience Books in the past. Be it his calligraphy with a brush or a fountain pen, they were all much better than before. However, that was all there was to it. The actual meaning did not seem to be much?
Why did he get it again!?
How good would it be if he could draw the Taiji Fist Skill Experience Book!? If he bought it directly, the Taiji Fist Skill Experience Books cost a million Reputation points each. If he got it from the Lottery, it would only cost 100,000 Reputation points. It was ten times cheaper! Skill Experience Books like the Taiji Fist were very important to Zhang Ye. If not, he would not have used the 10 million Reputation points he earned after the plane hijacking to buy 10 Taiji Fist Skill Experience Books. This was a defensive skill. Such a skill, there was no such thing as too many of them!
Calligraphy!
It just had to be Calligraphy!
Zhang Ye felt that it was not important, but since he had already drawn it, there was no way to return it. His Save had been used up, so it was too late for regrets. He could only flip through the Calligraphy Skill Experience Books one by one and began to "eat experience".
1 book …
10 books …
100 books …
All of them were finished!
The Calligraphy Skill Experience Books had entered Zhang Ye's brain!
He had a bad start. His judgment was wrong. Forget it. He would not draw today. He would think about it in a few days!
Zhang Ye was thirsty, so he went out to drink the tea leaves that Wu Zeqing had given him. His eyes squinted in enjoyment. It was indeed good tea. Although he did not know much about tea, he could tell the difference between it and the cheap tea leaves that his family had previously bought. It was too big. Only then did he return to his room and crawled into bed, preparing to sleep. Others might not be able to sleep after drinking tea, but not Zhang Ye. If he drank some hot tea, he might even be able to sleep soundly.
Ring, ring, ring.
A phone call suddenly came.
It was Wu Mo. He did not know what it was about.
Zhang Ye answered, "Hello, CEO Wu?"
"You're not asleep yet, right, Teacher Zhang?" Wu Mo asked.
"Not yet." Zhang Ye said.
Wu Mo said, "It's like this. Tomorrow is my aunt's birthday. I just called and she asked me to invite you. It's a gathering of industry insiders. You can have a meal and talk about knowledge. Isn't that how you scholars gather? It's at noon. I'll send you the exact address later."
Zhang Ye blinked, "You're not going?"
"Why would I go? All of you are in the field of literature and calligraphy. I don't have a common language. If I go, I'll just suffer. Besides, I still have to supervise the advertisements." Wu Mo said.
Zhang Ye asked, "Then what gift should I bring?"
Wu Mo thought for a moment, "There's no need for that, right? My aunt doesn't have many rules. You can just go. If you really can't do it, you can also write a painting and bring it over. My aunt likes calligraphy and paintings. Well, the people from the calligraphy world do something there every year. You can talk about it when you go. Anyway, I don't know the specifics. I've never participated in such a gathering of scholars before, so just do as you see fit. "
He was completely clueless.
Zhang Ye could only say, "Alright, I'll definitely go."
