Chapter 29: Are All the Web Dramas Here This Lame?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What the f*ck! Filming in an Internet café?

Wang Hao gaped and looked up. The Internet café was called “Happy Dream Internet Café.” He could tell how luxurious the decor inside was. If the crew could afford to film here, it wouldn’t be a low-budget web drama!

Mr. Li showed the crew member his card. “I’m Li Mingyu. Coordinator Zhou asked me to bring these walk-ons here.”

Coordinator Zhou had to be someone rather important. The crew member let them pass right away when he heard the name. “Follow me. Remember, don’t walk around inside. You don’t want to cause any trouble.”

Entering the Internet café, Wang Hao instantly saw a completely different world.

The Internet café was huge. There were more than 200 computers on the first floor, but most of them had been dragged to the side. Only about 30 computers were in the middle. A man was talking to two actors there.

Then, a middle-aged man approached them. He was wearing a pair of glasses and was a bit fat. Li Mingyu greeted him immediately. “Coordinator Zhou, they’re here.”

“Hm, let me see.” Coordinator Zhou sized them up, then gave a contented nod. “Looks good. I’ll take them. Come with me.”

He then led the way in front of Wang Hao and the others. They followed him immediately. Lu Tong asked as they walked, “Coordinator Zhou, will there be an audition? What do you think about my outfit?” He showed it to Coordinator Zhou.

“Why do you need an audition?” Coordinator Zhou laughed. “You’re walk-on actors, walk-ons. Understand?” He pointed at Lu Tong’s clothes and said, “Your outfit is too garish. Change it.”

“Oh…” Lu Tong stepped back with an embarrassed look.

Wang Hao almost laughed to death. You deserve it!

Coordinator Zhou brought them to a room inside the Internet café, which had been turned into a dressing room. In fact, Wang Hao and the others only needed some foundation to make them look better under the lights. The whole process was quick, except that Lu Tong had to change his clothes, so he took a bit longer.

When they were done with makeup, a stage manager came to give them the details of today’s scene —

“Today’s scene is the breakup between the two main characters. The lead actor tried to save their relationship, but didn’t succeed, so he comes to this Internet café, which is where they first met. Then, the lead actress will also show up, and they run into each other.

“A few yobs see the beautiful actress and want to hit on her. In order to help her get out of the situation, the lead actor then fights the yobs.”

The plot sounds so strange. Are all web dramas here this lame? Meeting in an Internet café and suddenly fighting yobs? Wait, the fight is between the two protagonists and the yobs…

It made Wang Hao’s hair stand on end. “So, we’re the yobs?”

“Of course,” the stage manager said. “Or you want to be the lead actor?” He then briefed them on the scene. “The lead actor knows kung fu. You know kung fu, right? So, he’ll make the first move and knock you down. At that moment, your boss will come downstairs and defeat the lead actor with a few punches, but he’ll refuse to surrender… Ah, no. He refuses to let the gang leader touch the lead actress. Then, the police arrive and the two characters reconcile. Is that clear?”

Wang Hao didn’t feel right…

We came all the way here to get beaten up, this early in the morning?

It’s okay! I’ll do it for the money!

“So, what’s my part?” Moon Zheng wondered, “You won’t ask me to fight the lead actress, will you?”

Wang Hao immediately imagined two women fighting…

F*ck! Is this the end of the world?

“Of course you don’t have to fight her,” the stage manager said. “You’re the gang leader’s lover. Just follow him, okay?”

“Oh…” Moon Zheng nodded.

“Alright, if everything’s clear, go get ready.” The stage manager pointed at the two actors Wang Hao had seen when he walked in. “The two of them will fight the main characters, and they’ll be knocked to the ground. You notice and run over to help. Understand? Right, remember, especially you!” He told Ma Ming, “Just fake it, okay? Fake! It’ll be a big problem if you injure the actors, you understand?”

“Yes,” Ma Ming answered.

After introducing the plot, the stage manager pointed at the computers in the middle. “Okay, you three get ready. You just need to pretend to be using the computers.” He then said to Moon Zheng, “Follow me to the second floor.”

Wang Hao was speechless.

Am I too lucky? We just need to surf the Internet? Ahahaha! That’ll save me on Internet fees!

How can I waste such a great opportunity? Let’s go, “Battle Through the Heavens”!

Wang Hao didn’t mind surfing the Internet. He was a bit nervous, but once he sat in front of the computer, he didn’t care about the filming anymore. They didn’t ask him to do anything else anyway. So, he decided to upload the novel…

Since the Fortune Dice gave him good fortune today, it was the perfect time to publish the novel!

Wang Hao opened the website, downloaded the finished manuscript, and went to the author management page.

He then clicked on “Create New Novel,” filled in the title and introduction, and finally uploaded the text.

After uploading the two chapters, the author management system sent him a message —

“Our dearest writer Flying Bean, your novel ‘Battle Through the Heavens’ has entered the Fengyun book stack. The editor will review your novel within 24 hours. Please be patient.”

This meant that a new novel had been successfully created. Wang Hao took a deep breath and clicked on “Manage Novel.” When he saw the title and book number of “Battle Through the Heavens,” he was completely stunned!

Title: “Battle Through the Heavens.” Book Number: 1688888.

Wow, f*ck! Look at this awesome number! I’m indeed lucky today, ahahaha!
