Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Thankfully Brother Prepared Yesterday!

Editor: Henyee Translations

That night at half past twelve, Xiao Cangtian was struggling with the book title.

He thought of five or six titles but was unsatisfied with all of them.

“Still not right, it doesn’t convey what I want,” he ruffled his hair fiercely, then shook his head, “Forget it, I’ll go chat in the group, maybe I’ll get some inspiration.”

He opened his reader group, Heavenly Dao Divine Race, and greeted everyone—

Xiao Cangtian: “Hey everyone, what are you talking about?”

Laughing Divine Envoy: “Cangtian is here? We’re talking about a book we found today, it’s absolutely amazing!”

Xiao Cangtian: “What book is that amazing?”

Laughing Divine Envoy: “The title is ‘Break the Heavens,’ the name is cool, but the book number is even cooler, 1688888. Isn’t that awesome?”

Seeing the title and book number, Xiao Cangtian’s eyes widened at once!

Xiao Cangtian: “Damn, this title, this book number, it’s indeed awesome! Which master wrote it?”

Laughing Divine Envoy: “It’s someone named Sky Silkworm Bean. Never heard of them, probably a small-time writer. By the way, Cangtian, have you decided on your new book’s title?”

A small-time writer?

Xiao Cangtian immediately opened the Break the Heavens novel page. After seeing the title, book number, and word count, his eyes lit up with inspiration!

Xiao Cangtian: “Not yet. Hey, what do you think if I take this Break the Heavens title and book number? I think it fits my new book’s content perfectly!”

Lowered Head and Heart: “What? Really? That’d be great. If you can get that title and book number, it would really add to your new book!”

Xiao Cangtian: “What do others think?”

Tough Guy: “I think it’s doable, but can it be changed? Will that newbie agree?”

Xiao Cangtian: “He’s just a newbie. I’m afraid he might waste such a good title and book number. I can compensate him, five thousand yuan should do it. Given it has only about six thousand words, five thousand yuan is like a thousand per thousand words. He’ll surely agree. I’ll then ask the editor to handle it, it should work!”

Laughing Divine Envoy: “Indeed a good idea. It would be a pity if such a good title and book number were wasted on a newbie. Go for it, can you release your new book if you get that title and number?”

Xiao Cangtian: “Yes. Okay, does anyone have the author’s QQ number?”

Laughing Divine Envoy: “I kicked him out, but that newbie messaged in several groups. Let me find it… Found it, here it is.”

Xiao Cangtian: “Good, I added it. I’ll talk to him tomorrow!”

…

Early the next morning, Wang Hao got up early to wash up. After finishing everything and his parents left for work, he quickly returned to his room, took out his luck dice, and took a deep breath—

“Hope it’ll be lucky today!” Wang Hao stared at the luck dice. Yesterday was a lucky day, so today the chance of luck again wasn’t high.

“Just an average day would be fine,” luck dice, go you!

Clatter—

The luck dice spun on the table and soon stopped. Wang Hao looked at the word on it—Average!

Humming happily, he accepted the average luck since it indicated normalcy—at least it wasn’t bad luck!

“Off to work!” Heading out, to work!

The film crew was still shooting at Zhonghai Avenue today. It was about seven stops from Wang Hao’s house, not too far, not too near. When Wang Hao arrived, Director Gao was discussing the plot with the screenwriter while others were resting.

Thanks to Ren Xing’s words yesterday, the annoying Lu Tong didn’t show up today.

“Hey, Brother Hao is here?” Yesterday Wang Hao’s talk on modifying the plot led Director Gao to call him Brother Hao out of habit and didn’t bother to change it, as it made him feel more approachable and younger. It was nice.

“Yes,” Wang Hao walked forward with a smile, asking, “Director Gao, what are you discussing?”

“The plot,” Director Gao introduced with a smile, “This is our main screenwriter, Mr. Li Fei.” Introducing Wang Hao, he said, “This is Wang Hao, the interesting young man I told you about.”

“Hmm, hello,” screenwriter Li Fei nodded slightly.

Although not impressed by Wang Hao’s status, thinking he was a novice, Li Fei admitted the plot Wang Hao talked about yesterday was powerful. So, he decided to ask Wang Hao’s opinion, “The plot you mentioned yesterday, I thought about it and found it’s quite good, a classic hidden skill plot. The main character is skilled with throwing knives, doesn’t show his skills often, and reveals them at crucial times for a shock effect, right?”

Impressive, indeed a top screenwriter, he understood the hidden skill concept, definitely had skills.

Wang Hao nodded, “Yes, the main character should have a low starting point, preferably one kicked out of the army for some mistake, but actually very skilled, and later gets a mission from higher-ups to come back.”

“It’s good to have ideas,” Li Fei stroked his chin, “This setting is indeed good, offering surprises. But the biggest problem is, if we switch to this, earlier filmed parts need to be redone. That’d require significant additional investment.”

Wang Hao understood Li Fei’s point.

For the crew, modifying the script was easy, but the cost was a challenge.

There’s a saying, “tug one part, the whole moves.” Changing a setting often meant redoing linked parts, raising costs naturally.

“Indeed,” Wang Hao nodded, “So, Mr. Li, what’s your suggestion?”

“Well,” Li Fei thought, “Tell me all your ideas first, I’ll use them as a reference. If feasible, I’ll persuade the investors for extra funds. If not, we’ll stick to the original plan.”

Emphasizing, Li Fei said, “It must be very good, otherwise I can’t convince the investors.”

So, he wanted a detailed plot modification?

Luckily, Wang Hao had prepared!

“Sure, no problem!” Wang Hao readily borrowed a laptop, “I wrote something when I got home yesterday. Here, I’ll show you.” He quickly logged into his cloud drive and downloaded the plot he wrote for Domestic Linglingqi. Before showing it to Li Fei, he renamed it to Domestic Agent—who knows if this world has 007…

“Domestic Agent plot?” Li Fei glanced at the title, joking with Director Gao, “This young man looks ambitious, planning to overturn my plot, haha.”

Gao Mingxing laughed back, “It’s understandable, young and fearless.”
