At the same time, in the nameless restaurant.
Cui Geng arrived at the nameless restaurant and found that Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang, and the other actors who had played small roles in Successor were already there. Huang Sibo and the main production team of Fei Huang Workspace had also arrived. A few authors, including Yu Fei, had also arrived.
"Eh, Mr. Cui is finally here. Come, you can take the center seat!"
"Cui laoshi, are you getting arrogant? Why are you so indifferent even after coming to the nameless restaurant? Quick, I'll punish you with a big lobster first!"
The crowd greeted Cui Geng warmly and deliberately left an empty spot for him in the crowd.
Cui Geng felt a little helpless. It could be said that he had been writing for years without anyone asking about him, and became famous overnight!
Previously, the people around him would call him Old Cui, or those who were not familiar with him would call him Boss out of politeness. However, he had never addressed him as "Teacher Cui" before.
Obviously, "Successor" had been elevated to the pedestal, and even the original author had been elevated to the pedestal.
Now, when everyone looked at Cui Geng, they no longer treated him as a simple author, but as a great prophet, a sociologist. After all, he was the one who had predicted the results of the Eucratian election a year ago.
Only Cui Geng knew that it was all a fluke, all luck.
But this thing couldn't be explained, and there was no need to explain, so he could only silently accept it.
Cui Geng sat down on his seat and said, "It's not that I'm not enthusiastic about eating. It's mainly because I was gathering materials and forgot the time."
Huang Sibo asked, "Were you tricked in GOG again?"
Cui Geng coughed a little awkwardly. "Ahem, it's actually nothing much. It's just that we have a big advantage because one of our teammates is AFK. The match could have ended in 20 minutes, but we dragged it to 50 minutes and still lost."
Huang Sibo could not help but put on a solemn expression, feeling indignant. "There's such a thing? I'll send a message to Zhang Nan and ask her to punish him severely! "
Cui Geng quickly said, "There's no need. I've already reported it. Now, GOG will automatically punish me as long as the system detects that I'm hacking. What's more, the punishment is not small. The game has already compensated me with tokens. There's no need to trouble the person-in-charge over such a small matter."
Huang Sibo nodded. "Yes, that's good. We can't let this kind of evil be allowed to grow. Tengda will definitely not tolerate such players."
Cui Geng looked around. "Huh, where's Director Zhu?"
Then, he came to a realization. "Oh! The journey of suffering is not over yet. "
Even though Huang Sibo's face was filled with sorrow, his lips could not help but curl up. "That's right, it'll only end at the end of this month."
"I wonder if Director Zhu is doing well on the island."
"But it's still better than when we were there. We're going to Shennongjia! Why were they allowed to play in the sand and bask in the sun on the island? This is not fair! "
Cui Geng coughed lightly. "Not necessarily. At least we don't have to be exposed to the sun in the forest of Shennongjia. A few days ago, I watched Teacher Qiao's live stream. Everyone seemed to have tanned quite a bit. After training, everyone was exhausted, but they still forced themselves to apply sunscreen. "
"And the rock wall on this island is taller than the rock wall at Shennongjia. I can only say that both of you have suffered, and both of you have suffered in your own ways. "
"Oh? Is that so? Then I feel better. "
Lu Zhiyao was also a little regretful. "Aiya, Director Zhu can't come. We can only reluctantly give his share to him!"
"Speaking of which, this suffering tour you guys are talking about … seems to be quite popular recently."
"A few days ago, I wanted to find a time to try signing up, but I went to the official website. Good lord, it's not open at all. I checked online, and it said that the reservations are completely full. If I'm slow, I won't be able to get one. "
"I don't know when the next reservation will be open. Even if I sign up, it's hard to say how long I'll have to queue up."
Cui Geng was a little stunned. "Huh? You want to go? "
"What's there to go? It's pure suffering if I go! If you don't believe me, you can ask Huang Sibo. He's been there before. "
Lu Zhiyao looked at Huang Sibo. "Really? How was the suffering tour? Did you really suffer that much? "
Huang Sibo was silent for a moment and then said seriously, "Well … it was indeed a bit of suffering, but I also gained a lot …"
Cui Geng could not help but be dumbfounded.
Good lord, I'll say good lord!
These people who had gone on a bitter journey had all become so deranged!
The most bizarre thing was that everyone who went on the suffering tour would become a magical superposition state, which could also be called 'Schrödinger's suffering'.
When they went or talked to unrelated people about the suffering tour, these people would definitely complain, saying that it was completely spending money to suffer and that it was too hard.
However, when they talked about the suffering tour with people who were interested or curious, they would seriously say that the suffering tour had a very rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual connotations and was very worth going.
Bad, too bad!
Do you think others can't see through your little tricks? Aren't you just trying to trick others to suffer with you?
Anyone with normal intelligence would not fall for such a clumsy show, right?
However, the more he looked at Lu Zhiyao, the more interested he became.
"Oh? Rock climbing? Wilderness survival? There's diving on the island in this episode?
"Teacher Qiao, Ruan Guangjian, Yao Bo, and the person-in-charge of Tengda are all there?
"Then, this is actually a Tengda Elite Training Camp. No wonder ordinary people can't get in!"
"Can you ask Boss Pei to give us a separate episode?"
Huang Sibo suppressed his smile and said seriously. "I can make a report to Boss Pei. I believe that Boss Pei is so loyal that he will definitely overcome the difficulties and arrange a separate episode for everyone."
Lu Zhiyao was very happy. "That's great! Teacher Cui, why don't you join us? "
Cui Geng shook his head like a rattle drum. "I'm sorry to disturb you. Goodbye!"
Good heavens, these people must be out of their minds. It's so comfortable to play games in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Who would want to go to the wilderness and suffer on an isolated island?!
If you want to die, die by yourself. Don't drag me down with you!
Cui Geng was very afraid that they would not stop talking about this topic. He saw that the dishes were served and quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's eat!"
Everyone came early, and they were a little hungry after chatting for a while. They immediately started eating.
The precious ingredients on the table were all unlimited. They could take whatever they wanted to eat, and every one of them was delicious!
Cui Geng even had difficulty choosing now. If he felt that one dish was delicious, he would want to eat another. However, the other dishes were delicious as well. If he ate another, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat anything else.
After eating something to pad his stomach, Zhang Zuting was the first to raise his glass. "It's a pity that Boss Pei is too busy today and did not come. However, I believe that Boss Pei's heart is with us.
"I suggest that we raise our glasses to Boss Pei!"
Everyone responded one by one, raising their glasses.
Gatherings in the nameless restaurant had always been completely free. They could drink if they wanted to drink, water, or other beverages if they wanted. Everyone's main goal was to eat. Whether it was wine or beverages, they were all used to accompany the meal.
No one could force others to drink.
This was a rule that Boss Pei had set when he first arranged for a gathering. Thus, it had become an unspoken rule that everyone consciously followed.
They were proud to eat more, not to drink more.
Everyone started chatting as they ate and drank.
Lu Zhiyao was also emotional. "Actually, I wanted to support Boss Pei for 'Successor'. After all, 'Tomorrow is Beautiful' and 'Mission and Choice' had helped me a lot. It's only right for me to play a small role for 'Successor' for free out of gratitude."
"I didn't expect the benefits of playing a small role to be so huge!"
"I said I wanted to support Boss Pei, but in the end, I was still brought up by Boss Pei and Brother Huang. I'm really ashamed."
Lu Zhiyao had earned a lot of money after the success of Mission and Choice. The key was that he had become even more popular and famous. His acting path had also become wider.
There were too many production teams that had approached him to invite him to film. It was a headache to pick the script.
However, Lu Zhiyao had a very firm principle: everything would be based on Boss Pei's schedule. He would not accept anything that conflicted with the schedule!
The last time he came to Jingzhou to eat and drink, Lu Zhiyao asked Boss Pei about the new drama. In the end, Boss Pei said that the new drama was going to be filmed in the United States, and there was no suitable role for Lu Zhiyao. If he insisted on participating, he could only play a small role as a Chinese man.
Lu Zhiyao thought that Boss Pei must be treating him like an outsider.
Did Boss Pei think that he was not taking on small roles now that he was famous?
That was impossible!
He would definitely not take on small roles in other production teams, but he had to take on Boss Pei's small role no matter what!
One could not be ungrateful. Even if he did not get paid for this small role, he had to participate in it in order to return the favor from the previous two movies.
Not only did he have to act in it, but he also had to drag Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang, and the others along!
That was how this group of people ended up playing supporting roles in "Successor".
Director Zhu Xiaoce was also very talented. He had given these people enough and very suitable scenes in "Successor".
Lu Zhiyao played a Chinese superhero, Zhang Zuting played a judge in a talent show, and Lin Jiaqiang played a commoner, a hardcore supporter of Phil.
The others, including Zhang Zuting's old friends and some staff of Fei Huang Workspace, also became extras. What's more, they did not feel out of place at all!
That was because Hope City in the movie was a fictional city. It was an environment where all kinds of races mixed together. There was room for this.
In fact, during the filming process, Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, and the others had a premonition that this film would not become popular. Even if it became popular, it would be of limited help to them.
After all, they did not have many scenes in the entire series. The real lead was the foreigner who played Phil.
However, they never thought that this film would not only become inexplicably popular, but it would also be of great help to their acting careers!
Lu Zhiyao, in particular, benefited the most.
There were even many film critics and media that praised Lu Zhiyao. He had more scenes than the main characters in "Successor"!
