Chapter 188: Chapter 188 - 176: Winter Vacation_i

Translator: 549690339

In his last period at Qi Art, Lin Yuan felt a sense of leisure he had not felt in a long time. If he had to pick out any cause of worry, it would probably be the too many companies and headhunters calling, all wanting to poach Lin Yuan —

As before, Lin Yuan rejected all of them.

The enthusiasm of these calls did not decrease, continuing all the way to mid­January, with some people still not giving up. It could be seen just how intense the competition in various fields had recently become.

In fact.

After more than a month of tug-of-war, various fields had already basically set their new development directions.

With the large framework of companies’ transformation gradually taking shape, the news was filled with shocking revelations sparked by these changes daily —

“Dazzling Silver Glow changes its name to Dazzling Entertainment, officially dipping its toes in the film industry!”

“Qi Continent’s Film Queen, Tao Ran, ends her contract with her old employer and joins Dazzling Film and Television!”

“Seven Star Entertainment heavily invites Sand Sea Entertainment’s Maestro­level talent, willing to pay a sky-high penalty for Maestro!”

“Starlight, Sand Sea and Dazzling Entertainment in succession announce transformation, fully committing to the film industry!”

“Starlight sues Thunderbolt Entertainment for malicious poaching, inciting unfair commercial competition!”

“A certain gold medal director announces independence, establishes studio, new film might cooperate with Sand Sea!”

“Major special effects companies in Qi Continent are signing contracts with companies in Qin Continent.”

“Several large capital entities enter the entertainment industry, new entertainment tycoons might emerge!”

At first, the people of the two continents were shocked by these news. After all, even just a single piece of these news was absolutely explosive!

But there was shocking news appearing every day.

So, as they read on, the people of the two continents facing a constant outpouring of bombshell news were almost becoming numb.

For example, in facing some movie emperors and Empress, King and Queen of singing, and even big shots like Maestro changing sides, everyone was just calmly commenting:

“Endless poaching of each other.”

“Today you take away my Maestro, tomorrow I’ll poach your signature actors.”

“The obvious strength of big companies seems pretty balanced.”

“Next would probably be the real market fight.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“A big director’s new film has been greenlit, probably trying to take the lead.”

Lin Yuan did not pay much attention to these news, but Jian Yi was a constant gossiper. When he had nothing better to do lately, he would wield his keyboard, charging forth and fighting on the internet.

Occasionally, he would also share his views with Lin Yuan, pointing out all sorts of strategies.

He even had thorough knowledge on some policy details:

“Starting today, each continent is going to change its name, ours will be called Qin Province, Qi Continent will be called Qi Province.”

“Even though Qin and Qi are merging, because Qin Continent is closer to Zhong Continent and its history and various elements are heavier, the position of Qin Continent will be higher. Didn’t you say you bought a villa earlier? I’m telling you, you’ve struck it rich. The housing prices in some of the core cities in Qin Continent have skyrocketed, some neighborhood’s housing prices have doubled, even tripled. It looks like Zhong Continent is about to intervene soon!”

“In no time, the big companies here in Qi Continent will also move their headquarters to Qin Province.”

“Once the other continents merge in, the position of Qin Province should continue to increase. This plan is clearly centered around Qin Continent.”

Lin Yuan was of course thrilled.

He didn’t expect the villa he bought to increase in price so quickly.

However, Lin Yuan quickly realized that he probably won’t sell the villa, so whether the price rises or not didn’t make much of a difference to him.

Therefore.

What made Lin Yuan even happier, was that the system had finally completed its update and upgrade!

Without mincing words.

That same night, Lin Yuan mysteriously summoned the just updated system, feeling a bit expectant: “Can it make bombs now?”

System:

Lin Yuan pressed: “What about Optimus Prime?”

System: “…imagine something from the Yang Realm.”

Lin Yuan could not help but feel a bit disappointed: “Then what did you update?”

System: “Film and television functions are fully activated. The host can receive treasure chests containing movie scripts. Additionally, the system also provides educational classrooms for directing and screenwriting, and other fields, along with some special props and mission templates.”

“Props?”

Lin Yuan was most interested in this.

System said: “The host can purchase various props in the system shopping mall, would you like to check?”

“Check.”

Upon Lin Yuan’s command, he saw all sorts of dazzling props in the system. For example, a prop named “Star Fragment”. The effect of this fragment allows a person to briefly possess the performance ability of a famous Earth comedian.

There was also a “Search Fragment”, with a effect similar to the prior one.

And then something named “Distance Fragment”. The instructions said that this prop can let a person temporarily possess the onsite commanding ability of a certain great director.

These props were magical.

It’s just that they weren’t cheap.

And after Lin Yuan had browsed the props for awhile, the System suddenly notified: “Congratulations to the host for receiving the System Upgrade Gift. This is a Silver Treasure Chest, it contains a script. The host needs to accept the mission to get this script.”

“What mission?”

System answered: “The host needs to take on the role of a screenwriter and shoot the script into a movie. There is no budget limit.”

“Accepted.”

Lin Yuan decisively said. He planned to discuss with Starlight later on to see if they would take his script: “What genre is this script?”

System: “Random.”

Very in line with System’s usual style.

Lin Yuan asked: “Where’s the treasure chest then?”

System: “The treasure chest will be issued after the host returns to Qin Province.”

The system was keeping up with the times, Qin Continent had just changed its name, and the System had immediately updated its terminology.

Lin Yuan did not continue to research, because it was bedtime.

The next day.

Lin Yuan arrived at school.

This was Lin Yuan’s last day at Qi Art, because after today, Qi Art would go on winter holiday just like Qin Art.

Qi Art was quite sentimental.

Each class even specifically held a farewell party.

Mainly to bid the exchange students of the third year farewell.

The class Lin Yuan was in, naturally also held a farewell party.

He did not stand out excessively, honestly attending the farewell party in his class, accepting the leaving gifts given by his classmates, and then expressed his thanks one by one.

Gu Xi also gave Lin Yuan a gift.

She was not an exchange student, so she would still remain in Qi Art the next term.

However, after handing over the gift, Gu Xi did not leave immediately, rather forcing a smile and saying, “Lin Yuan, you can open it and see.”

Lin Yuan fulfilled her request.

Upon opening the package, there was still a globe model inside, only the material seemed a bit different this time.

“This is made of candy.”

Gu Xi regained her spirits: “It has egg yolk inside.”
