Chapter 313: Chapter 311: To Shoot a TV Series

Daodao was conscious, so of course it had a mind.

After hearing this, Xiao Ba was not at all relieved of its confusion. Instead, it said with a hint of frustration, "Xiao Ba is conscious too, but it seems like it doesn’t have a brain."

Daodao’s true form was a vine, which at this point was so frustrated by Xiao Ba that it almost knotted itself.

Since it couldn’t win the argument, it was time to call for reinforcements.

"Master!"

"I know, I know," Nian Shutong, who had been enjoying the spectacle, had no choice but to join in and explain to the two little ones, "You both have minds, just not the structure of a brain per se, or to put it in interstellar terms, you two have evolved."

Initially, Daodao wasn’t very pleased with Nian Shutong’s explanation, but after hearing the rest, it grudgingly accepted it.

Nian Shutong blocked Daodao and Xiao Ba from prying any further, also feeling that it was no easy feat.

Outside, she had to break up fights.

In her own Sea of Consciousness, she still had to break up fights.

"Master, Shu Zhuo is looking for you?"

"Oh, got it."

Nian Shutong received a thank-you email from Shu Zhuo, grateful for the Peking duck.

She casually replied to Shu Zhuo using the Text Mover’s account.

"Is there anything you need for the launch of the new book?"

On the other end, Shu Zhuo, who had been comfortably reclining, immediately sat up and began to meticulously address the issue upon receiving the email.

The Text Mover was going to launch a new book!

After communicating with the Text Mover, Shu Zhuo and the Text Mover had set a basic promotional plan and were just waiting for the Text Mover to make a move.

And Nian Shutong acted swiftly.

She logged into the Star Network, went on her Star Blog, and confirmed that it was the Text Mover’s account.

Text Mover: Heroes of great virtue serve their country and their people. The new book is about to be announced, stay tuned. The next installment of Heroic Legend of the Condor is coming!

Earth Bar was the fastest to repost, adding an emoji of anticipation after the repost.

Subsequently, Shu Zhuo made a big splash by hanging banners on the Star Reading website to promote the Text Mover’s new book and started building momentum.

Of course, she couldn’t throw all of the website’s promotional resources behind it like last time, but one-third was still feasible.

The Text Mover’s activity was quickly noticed, first by Star Reading, Star Reading’s old rival, and the Text Mover’s previous Boss.

Star Reading’s Boss, Li Yi, had returned to take charge and spotted the Text Mover’s activity right away.

He frowned as he watched the Star Blog’s popularity gradually rise, cursing his stupid and dull son for the umpteenth time.

"Damn it, he was supposed to be our writer!"

Star Reading’s boss was anything but magnanimous.

His face twisted into a savage smile as he spoke as if offhandedly, "Aren’t our top authors about to release a book?"

An employee sitting across from him in the office bent slightly as he replied, "Mr. Li, our top author Bai Fengtang is going to release a book; he applied for promotional resources a few days ago."

Bai Fengtang was one of the most formidable online writers at Star Reading, inspired by Heroic Legend of the Condor for his new burst of creativity.

This time, armed with his major Martial Arts novel, he was ready to release a book.

"Give him the resources, the best ones. I want him to compete for resources with the Text Mover."

"Send in a wave of the Water Army."

"Yes."

The subordinate took the task and went to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, on the Star Network, Star Blog.

Beneath the Text Mover’s Star Blog post:

[Finally, the big guy is launching a new book!]

[The new book is still Martial Arts, that’s great!]

[Right, right, I still haven’t had enough; I’ve read Shediao several times over!]

[Big guy, why doesn’t Shediao get published as a book?]

[I’m waiting too, waiting for Shediao to be published.]

[I want to collect it, it feels like there aren’t many books like this.]

[I’m curious what the big guy’s new book is really about?]

[Big guy said ’Heroes of great virtue serve their country and their people.’ Is this a preview of the new book?]

[It feels very grand.]

[Still Martial Arts? Don’t you want to try a different genre? Aren’t you tired of it?]

[The one above must be a fake fan, part of the Water Army, right?]

[Probably, who only writes one book in a genre?]

The Water Army barely surfaced before being pushed down by the real fans.

Mainly because the Water Army hadn’t targeted the right thing; they didn’t even know what to criticize.

Could they criticize the previous two books by the Text Mover as being bad?

Please, they were the Water Army, but they were an intelligent Water Army.

At the same time, shortly after the Text Mover’s promotional efforts, the Star Reading website also started promoting Bai Fengtang’s new book, which also turned out to be Martial Arts.

Star Reading really hammered down on promotional resources, just to compete with the Text Mover – no matter how capable you are, it was just two books after all.

But Bai Fengtang was an old author with millions of readers, a renowned author; truly, many people were looking forward to his new book.

Unwittingly, the excitement for the Text Mover’s book had been pushed down quite a bit.

Shu Zhuo at Star Reading quickly noticed this and watched the content on the screen with a mocking laugh.

"So Star Reading really wants to take this fight to the next level."

"Let’s give it a try then."

Shu Zhuo immediately increased promotional resources. You say the Text Mover is too young, with only two books; I say your Bai Fengtang lacks creativity and is just recycling others’ ideas.

The two sides entered battle, with capital continuing to burn.

Through all of this, Nian Shutong didn’t bother to intervene.

Let them fight; as long as the heat goes up, that’s all that matters.

Daodao cared even less, thinking to itself that it had brought such good novels to them; they just needed to read.

Nian Shutong continued working in the fields. Daodao prepared to transport the new book, planning to release it all at once.

The war of words on the Star Network raged on.

In the afternoon, a message suddenly arrived for Shu Zhuo, making him smile confidently.

However, he first contacted the Text Mover.

When Nian Shutong received the information, she roughly understood what was happening.

A well-known interstellar TV series director had taken an interest in the Text Mover’s novel and wanted to turn it into a TV series.

Nian Shutong didn’t agree right away but first consulted with Daodao.

"Daodao, what do you think? Should we let them film it?"

"Film it, to earn money for Master."

"Good, then I’ll talk to Shu Zhuo about it."

Nian Shutong quickly replied to Shu Zhuo, agreeing to adapt the book into a TV series.

Upon receiving the news, Shu Zhuo immediately replied to the director on his end, and the contract signing process was quite simple from there.

Shu Zhuo, the director with his team, and Nian Shutong’s Text Mover, rented a temporary office on the Star Network to sign the contract.

The copyright fee was as high as ten million, showing just how popular the book was.

After the three parties signed the contract, they each released news on the Star Network.

Text Mover: Heroic Legend of the Condor, officially starting production. The director was tagged at the end.

Star Reading also quickly issued a formal notice.

The last one, the well-known director, also retweeted Star Reading’s formal announcement.

As soon as the news from the three parties came out, the netizens had mixed reactions.

[I love the book, but I’m afraid the adaptation won’t be good.]

[I’ve always heard that this book is on fire, but I don’t love reading, so turning it into a TV series is great.]

[Who do you think can play Huang Rong?]
