He Sheng was indeed still He Sheng, it was just that with the effect of the Star Fragment ending, he had lost that burst of inspiration.

However, since his breakthrough during that performance, in the subsequent performance, He Sheng indeed gradually explored some experience and a direction for effort.

Lin Yuan originally thought that an hour later, He Sheng’s performance state would plummet.

But the reality was that an hour later, his state had indeed declined, but it was much better than before he used the prop.

Many people in the crew murmured admiringly, saying that He Sheng s acting skills had made a certain breakthrough today.

This gave Lin Yuan food for thought.

He thought the Star Fragment was a disposable prop.

Actually, it was indeed a disposable prop, but one clear point was that once this state is experienced, it easily allows the actor to find a direction.

Perhaps this was the real function of the Star Fragment?

The filming for today is finished.

He Sheng also felt a little excited.

He took a big sip of water, intending to express his gratitude for Mr. Lin’s guidance, but for some reason, he suddenly choked on the water, and couldn’t help but cough loudly.

“Cough… Cough…”

He Sheng had never been choked by water so badly in his life.

He kept coughing for several minutes, feeling like his heart would be coughed out, startling those around him.

After a good deal of coughing, he finally stopped a bit, only to feel a fiery sensation in his throat.

“Are you okay?”

Everyone asked with concern.

He Sheng waved his hand with a smile, it was just choking on water.

Suppressing the discomfort in his throat, he quickly ran to Lin Yuan, his eyes slightly glinting as he said: “Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lin, can I consult you in the future?”

“Do your best not to.”

Lin Yuan shook his head decisively.

The Star Fragment is too expensive, he can’t afford it, only using it when he absolutely has no other choice.

“Ok…”

He Sheng thought about it, how could one always expect the screenwriter to guide them?

Moreover, today’s performance state has given He Sheng great gains. He faintly felt that a door to acting was slowly opening to him.

After the crew finished work for the day.

On his way home, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but summon the System: “Why do I feel something is off?”

Yes, for He Sheng’s misfortune, Lin Yuan always felt that something was not right.

Reality proved that his feeling was correct.

The System responded: “The side effect of using the prop is that there’s a certain chance to trigger bad luck.”

“Then I…”

Lin Yuan’s expression changed.

He has used the Memory Pill so many times!

The System said: “The host, as the master, will never trigger bad luck. Only when the host uses the prop on others, the other party may be unlucky after the prop effect ends, and this bad luck will not be too big.”

Lin Yuan: “…”

Would it be too heartless to say, “Then I’ll rest easy now?

But Lin Yuan was indeed a little relieved, and there was no need to falsely deny

it.

After all He Sheng only choked on water…

Such a level of bad luck is indeed acceptable, especially in comparison to the sky-defying effects of the prop.

Thinking carefully about He Sheng’s state just now, it was like Zhou Xingchi’s spirit possessed him. For the filming of “Flirting Scholar”, is there a better prop?

in the following days, He Sheng kept a good performance state, no longer experiencing the situation where he couldn’t act effectively at all.

This relieved Lin Yuan quite a bit.

And just when the filming of “Flirting Scholar” was in full swing, competition and erosion in various industries had entered a feverish stage.

In particular, tribal and blog, the two top cyber-social platforms, are doing everything they can to win over customers!

This day.

Tribal Literature.

As the Chief Operating Officer, Han Jimei was really a little overwhelmed recently.

This was the editorial meeting of Tribal Literature.

A certain editor looked somewhat unhappy and said: “The literature department over on the blog is being built, they also set their sights on the market for short web-reading, and their actions are quite fast. They have now signed many top short-story authors in succession. The short-story section will officially go online next month…”

Short stories.

This is currently the web’s most favorite type for instant reading.

This used to be a characteristic of Tribal, since Tribal Literature was restructured, this section has been very popular with users, and even attracted many readers from Qi Province to join Tribal.

Now that the Qin and Qi markets are merging.

The folks at blog quickly copied Tribal’s operating style, and formed a literature department to attract users in the same way, attempting to use this method to compete with Tribal for the user market.

For this.

The Chief Editor worriedly said: “Tribal and blog are in a stalemate, with the user activities of both sides being almost equal. The company has high demands on every department, if something happens with our literature department, I’m afraid the senior management will have us to answer.”

“Don’t worry.”

Han Jimei said calmly: “The senior executives won’t punish you, they will only target me – the Chief Operating Officer of Tribal Literature, and while the competition started later than we did, we should also get in touch with our short-story authors and compete with them for the short-story market in March!”

Someone said: “We should think of a way to motivate the authors.”

Han Jimei nodded: “That’s why I plan to set up a million dollar prize fund at Tribal Literature in March. The first prize work will receive a reward of one million, the ranking will be determined by users voting; we held such an event when we first restructured, the effect was quite obvious.”

“Let’s set up a second and third place as well…” said one of the main editors.

Han Jimei nodded, she had already prepared her plan: “Second prize with a reward of half a million, third prize with a reward of three hundred thousand, and from the fourth to the twentieth place, they will be awarded with a prize of one hundred thousand!”

The scale of this event was much greater than at the beginning of the restructuring!

But such is the harshness of market competition.

Although operational costs are sure to increase, it is worth it if one can successfully attract users who like short web-readings!

“The quality of the articles is fundamental.”

The Chief Editor sighed: “We can hold events, and so can blog; when the company scales are about even, there is no point in comparing capital strength. In the end, it’s about which side’s article quality is higher, and this aspect is the most uncontrollable.”

“That’s why it’s a comparison of who has more talents.”

Han Jimei’s face was serious: “Get in touch with the short-story authors right away, this concerns the traffic of Tribal in March, and invite the biggest names of short-story authors that you can!”

“Understood!”

Editors all responded in unison.

One can imagine that this time’s lineup of short-story authors would be a rank above last year’s!

Someone even suspected…

Top-tier short-story authors might make a comeback.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
