MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 92
Three days later, Haishi Airport.
Qiao Dong took back the completed boarding pass, "Mr. Li, it's almost time for you to go through the security check."
Li Yu'an took it with a nod, and turned his eyes back to Pei Yi, "You stay alone in Haishi to connect with Weiyi, are you sure it's all right? Or I'd better..."
Pei Yi understood the implication of his friend, "No problem, don't I still have Qiao Dong here? And I can communicate with our staff online about the content of scripts and texts, so I am not fighting alone."
He patted Li Yu'an on the shoulder, "You can go back at ease, our studio cannot do without a boss in charge."
The mobile game version of "End Mist" has been officially released and launched, and the current running data from the background is not bad.
Although there are Lou Yang and Xiang Nansheng in the imperial capital, and the game will not cause any major problems, but for emergencies, their two core bosses cannot both stay in Haishi.
Li Yu'an glanced at the time on the screen in the lobby, "Then I'll go in first, keep in touch, it's getting dark, Qiao Dong, please drive carefully."
Qiao Dong nodded quickly, "President Li, don't worry, I promise to take care of Brother Yi!"
Pei Yi teased and urged, "Let's go, your family is probably already waiting at the airport to wait."
Li Yu'an gave a "tsk", "Young poor, I'm leaving."
"Well, let's report safety when we land."
"good."
Pei Yi and Qiao Dong sent away Li Yu'an, who was the first to complete the contract task, before walking to the underground parking lot.
It's not working time now, Pei Yi didn't deliberately maintain the distance between his subordinates, but put his arm on Qiao Dong's shoulder.
"Go slowly, I have something to ask you."
Qiao Dong was stunned, "Huh?"
Pei Yi tightened her hands on her shoulders, pretending to be serious, "Mr. Bo asked you to report my news all the time?"
Qiao Dong's whole body tensed up, and he stuttered suddenly, "Brother Yi, Yi, I, I was wrong."
"What apologies? I don't blame you."
Pei Yi took the opportunity to rub his head, and said, "Remember, you are my assistant, and you should mainly face me. If I occasionally drink or something, don't let him know."
After all, "spanking" and other punishments, he absolutely didn't want to have a second time.
After Pei Yi didn't do anything, Qiao Dong's head turned into a rattle, "Brother Yi, I promise not to say anything!"
"Well, this is my good assistant. When I go back this time, I will give you a raise."
Pei Yi waved his hand, and muttered proudly, "You still want to buy my assistant, how is that possible?"
Qiao Dong smiled.
Although he is just a bystander, he knows that Pei Yi's attitude towards "outside" and "inside" is especially different——
The special contrast is cute.
"What are you smirking at?"
Pei Yi rubbed his head again, with interest, "When I'm free tonight, I'll treat you to that Japanese restaurant downstairs in the hotel?"
Qiao Dong lost the constraints of the past, and became happier, "Thank you, Brother Yi!"
The two got into the car together.
Pei Yi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, opened the WeChat account on his mobile phone. He didn't open his own account directly, but scrolled down to find Lin Zhong's WeChat account. He typed without blushing and heartbeat:
"Lin Zhong, report today's situation!"
"..."
Qiao Dong saw it, but pretended not to.
…
The original structure of the movie game is divided into two parts. The script of the first part has already been properly adapted, and the pre-production work has also been fully in place.
After Pei Yi had a three-day refinement meeting with the filming team headed by director Kong Li, he finally entered the most important stage of filming.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Pei Yi turned around in her sleep, and habitually shrank her head into the bed.
But the knocking on the door didn't stop. At the same time, Qiao Dong called cautiously and eagerly, "Brother Yi, are you awake?"
Pei Yi's clarity gradually recovered. After confirming the sky coming through the window, he squinted his eyes in doubt—
Didn't you set the alarm clock for 9:30? You probably haven't overslept yet, have you?
It's not that Qiao Dong doesn't know his work and rest habits, so why would he suddenly knock on the door to wake him up?
"..."
Pei Yi realized something was wrong and struggled to get up to open the door.
The moment his eyes touched Qiao Dong's nervous expression, the sleepiness remaining in his mind dissipated, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Yi!"
Qiao Dong was still holding the phone in his hand, obviously he just got some news, "Mr. Gu called, saying that our first game script has been leaked, and it has been exposed on the Internet!"
Pei Yi's expression changed suddenly, but he quickly calmed down, "Clean up and go to Weiyi's headquarters. You and Brother Gu will keep in touch. We'll talk about it later when we meet."
"OK!"
…
Forty minutes later, Pei Yi and Qiao Dong had just arrived downstairs at Weiyi's headquarters, and they saw Gu Jianshen waiting at the gate at a glance.
The two sides met face to face, and neither of them wasted time on "polite".
Pei Yi got out of the car and asked, "Brother Gu, did you find out who posted it?"
In fact, he already knew the general situation on the way here—
From twelve o'clock in the morning, Youtu forums, Weibo, and game circles on multiple social platforms have simultaneously sent the content of the upper part of their movie and game.
Among them, the most comprehensive script content is in Youtu Forum.
Because the timing of posting was too tricky, Weiyi's network operation monitoring took almost an entire night from discovery to contacting relevant platforms to delete posts.
It's a pity that the effect of unposting is not obvious, and it is difficult to guarantee whether users will save and repost.
Gu Jianshen shook his head, "Not yet, the account that posted the original post was newly registered, and the ip address was specially encrypted."
Pei Yi frowned slightly, "Special encryption?"
Gu Jianshen added, "From the effect of the exposure channel in this short period of time, we now initially suspect that there is a push from 'Xunya Technology' behind it."
The relationship between the two families was always fighting openly and secretly, and the situation was like fire and water.
A while ago, Xunya Technology suffered a loss in the investment of the original game design competition, and now it uses this method to make up for it.
Although harsh, it is also the law of competition.
Qiao Dong opened his mouth cautiously, "Even if the people from Xunya Technology did it, the script is always leaked from within, right?"
How could Pei Yi not know this, and his eyes became darker again.
Looking at the slowly ascending elevator floors, he picked out the most important and said, "The most urgent thing is to think of remedial measures."
Gu Jianshen nodded, "Boss Ning is already waiting in the office, we will talk in detail when we meet."
— ding dong.
The elevator doors swung open.
Under the leadership of Gu Jianshen, Pei Yi and Qiao Dong walked straight into Ning Jing's office.
Ning Jing had already prepared some tea and invited them to sit down, "Mr. Yi, you already know the specific situation?"
Pei Yi nodded, speaking sharply, "Mr. Ning, I have to trouble your company to investigate the inner ghost about the script."
Ning Jing and Gu Jianshen looked at each other, then turned their attention back to Pei Yi, "Is Mr. Yi sure that there is something wrong with our staff?"
"if not?"
Pei Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he resolutely safeguarded the interests of his own studio when it came to related interests.
"The contract has been signed, and the funds have been invested in proportion. Before the official shooting of the movie game, we ywy are the ones who pay more in the script."
"Ning always thinks that my studio and I will do something harmful to ourselves in this situation?"
Pei Yi pointedly pointed out, "Mr. Gu also told me just now that Xunya Technology is behind this matter."
Ning Jing sighed and admitted, "Yes, I will have someone investigate this matter, but the most urgent thing is to discuss how to solve it?"
"Before your arrival, I have asked Director Kong to suspend the next filming."
Pei Yi had anticipated the possibility of "stop shooting" and acquiesced.
What does such a script leak represent?
It's like putting the complete customs clearance tips and game stories in front of the players!
In this way, where is the game strategy at all? It will only greatly reduce the player's interest level.
Ning Jing laid out the facts, "Mr. Yi, the crew and actors have already hired and signed contracts. The current situation is—"
"If we continue to shoot, the follow-up benefits will not meet expectations in all likelihood, and if the script is exposed again, our visible benefits will only be less."
"But if the filming is not stopped, the crew will spend an extra day's lost work fee if they stop for one more day."
"Moreover, I think Xunya Technology will definitely make some moves, and even rush ahead of us to seize the title of "Huaguo's First Movie Tour" for publicity."
From filming to production to obtaining distribution rights, it is conservatively estimated that it will take four months.
If you continue to progress, your benefits will definitely not meet the standard. If you give up and start over, you will easily miss the market. Now it is a dilemma!
Pei Yi is a smart person, and understood the hint in Ning Jing's words, "Ning always wants to shoot with a new script?"
Ning Jing told the truth, "The crew can only wait until the 15th at most, but I don't know if Yi Zong and ywy can come up with the script..."
Number fifteen?
In other words, counting today, there are only twelve days left?
Qiao Dong calculated the time and couldn't help but say, "A brand new game structure script will be completed in twelve days? How is this possible?"
Pei Yi's eyelids drooped slightly, silently casting a dim light.
Gu Jianshen looked at Ning Jing, hesitant to speak.
He knew how difficult this request was, but as a member of Weiyi, he couldn't ignore the company's interests and spend more time for Pei Yi to lobby his own senior management.
Ning Jing's voice slowed down a bit, "Mr. Yi, I know that the new script is a bit difficult to handle, but if the whole production crew is postponed to the 15th, all the lost work expenses incurred in it will be borne by our Weiyi. This is already the company’s maximum concession.”
She paused, "Or, I have another proposal."
Pei Yi looked over, "What?"
"Actually, before accepting ywy's cooperation, we also had a well-formed game script, which can be used directly."
Ning Jing further explained, "If this is the case, we, Weiyi, will be in charge of everything from the script to the filming to the post-production. Except that the promotion and operation section remains unchanged, Ywy's identity is equivalent to investing in shares."
"If this is the basis, then the original 46 points will be changed back to 28 points."
Gu Jianshen frowned, and looked at Ning Jing with suspicious eyes—
The other party never told him about it!
This time the fault party is clearly not Ywy Studio, how can the other party bear most of the losses?
As an assistant, Qiao Dong looked directly at Pei Yi, feeling unfair and aggrieved for him.
Obviously he has put in all his efforts, but now he is forced to accept a new profit share because he can't hand in a new script?
Weiyi is indeed a big game maker, the water may not be clear, and the heart may not be clear! If you cheat people out of profit, you won't even blink your eyes!
Pei Yi rubbed the rim of the coffee cup, suppressed the coldness in her heart and asked, "A finished script? Who wrote it?"
As soon as the words fell, the knock on the office door rang again.
After receiving Ning Jing's "please come in" response, Gao Pingfeng pushed the door open and entered, his eyes glanced slightly at the people in the office.
Gao Pingfeng and Pei Yi looked at each other, suppressing the malicious gloating in the depths of their pupils.
Before coming, Ning Jing said on the phone that there might be changes in the movie and game projects, and asked him to prepare for the possible handover.
Gao Pingfeng walked over, pretending to be confused, "President Ning, what can you do with me?"
Ning Jing seemed to understand his choice from Pei Yi's silence, and after hesitating for two seconds, she started the topic, "Mr. Gao, it's like this, our..."
"Boss Ning."
Pei Yi interrupted her, and responded lightly, "I will hand over a brand new script before the 15th."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback.
Pei Yi was in the center of her eyes, and continued to express her attitude, "I need to have daily handovers with Director Kong and the film crew. As for the cooperation and share that ywy has negotiated with your company, nothing will change."
twelve days?
Complete a brand new game scenario?
If there is no absolute strength, who would dare to accept this job?
Ning Jing really gave in to Pei Yi's courage, and asked again and again, "Mr. Yi, are you sure?"
All terms of cooperation are negotiated.
If it can be carried out according to the plan and the current losses are minimized, Ning Jing is naturally willing to have a long-term cooperation with Pei Yi.
"Sure, please also ask your company to find out the person who leaked the secret within this time."
Pei Yi pushed back the untouched coffee, and there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes, "After all, we have to give Ywy an explanation for this matter."
"..."
Ning Jing and the others sensed Pei Yi's dissatisfaction, and fell into silence in embarrassment.
Pei Yi got up, "The time is urgent, so I won't delay any longer. I will contact you after I write a new version of the structure, and I will leave."
After speaking, he walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, Qiao Dong hurriedly followed.
…
The two quickly returned to the car.
Qiao Dong finally expressed his worries, "Brother Yi, don't you need to discuss this matter with President Li again?"
Pei Yi shook her head, "Even if I tell Liyuan, the result will be the same. If I don't agree to write a new script, then the terms negotiated before will be in vain."
Still the original consideration, their studio has only been established for less than a year, and they must rely on the cooperation of major factories to expand their popularity.
Pei Yi closed the door and said, "I think it's too strange that the script leaked."
Qiao Dong started the car, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yi explained to him, "Think about it, even if Xunya Technology is behind the scenes, they must not be the ones who took the initiative to 'leak' the script."
"Qiao Dong, tell me, if we are enemies, if Xunya Technology has Weiyi's script in hand, how can we maximize the damage?"
Qiao Dong thought for a while, "Filming is halfway through? Or just before the movie and game are finished and about to be released?"
In this way, the cost of shooting can cause greater losses.
Pei Yi showed a gratified expression of "children can be taught", "Smart."
Xunya Technology is not a fool, how could it not even understand the most basic "combat tricks"?
Since the person who broke the news chose to make it public in the early hours of this morning, before the filming started, it can only show that he is not from Xunya Technology.
"Having access to Weiyi's internal script files, and gaining self-interest after the incident..."
Pei Yi clicked so far, Qiao Dong quickly enlightened.
"Brother Yi, you mean Gao Pingfeng's hands and feet? That's why you agreed again before President Ning could speak?"
Pei Yi was not arbitrary, "There is no way to be 100% sure about this."
After all, Gao Pingfeng can stay in Weiyi for fifteen years, so he shouldn't ruin his future easily.
"I just look annoyed at him, and I don't want to give up the opportunity that should belong to us ywy."
Qiao Dong vaguely glimpsed Pei Yi's ambition and ambition, but his tone was still worried, "Brother Yi, but we only have twelve days, can we make it in time?"
"Work hard and make it in time."
Pei Yi didn't agree blindly, but had a general idea.
"Now it's just the first script leaked, isn't the second one still there? I plan to change to an infinite stream game format and write backwards from the second one."
This can not only reuse unexposed content, but also free up time for subsequent new game plots, and the actors and venues of the crew do not need to be rearranged.
"Write upside down?"
"Well, what 'you' thought was the beginning of the story was actually the end, and 'you' thought the strategy had reached the end, but it was actually the beginning of the game cycle."
The inspiration in Pei Yi's mind came as soon as he said it, "Qiao Dong, come to the hotel later to contact Xiao Zhou and Sister Ling in the studio, and have a short online meeting."
"Let them work hard for the past two weeks. In the face of difficulties, they have to cooperate with my work needs at any time."
Qiao Dong responded immediately, "Okay."
"There is more."
Pei Yi remembered one more thing, "Don't talk to Mr. Bo about this. He has a new project in his hand recently, and he's busier than me. Don't let him be distracted."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Dong replied in a low voice, "Got it."
…
Pei Yi returned to the hotel, first made a video call with the relevant employees of the studio, and then sat in front of the computer to re-launch the document and write the specific game plot framework.
This busy, busy until half past nine in the evening.
It wasn't until Bo Yueming's unstoppable evening video came in that Pei Yi ran to the bed in a hurry and connected the phone.
"Hello, second brother."
Bo Yueming asked at the beginning, "I heard that the script was leaked on the Internet?"
Pei Yi was not surprised by his lover's question, and answered lightly, "It's not serious, just rewrite it."
Bo Yueming's eyes flickered slightly, "Really?"
"Of course, what did I lie to you for?"
Pei Yi changed the subject without any trace, "I heard from Lin Zhong that you have a transnational video conference tonight?"
Two months ago, the Bo Group established a new branch overseas. As the executive director, Bo Yueming had to take care of all aspects.
Bo Yueming explained in a warm voice, "Ten minutes later, tonight's meeting may last for an hour or two."
"Okay, got it."
Pei Yi didn't fail to mention his work pressure, but just said with a smile, "I'll be busy this week, and I'll message you back when I'm free, okay?"
Bo Yueming hesitated to speak, and gently coaxed him, "Little cat, if you encounter difficulties, please tell me, okay?"
A trace of warmth poured into Pei Yi's heart, "Okay."
The two chatted briefly but intimately for ten minutes, and they didn't end the call until the last moment before Bo Yueming was going to have a video conference.
Pei Yi took the opportunity to take a shower, wrapped in a bathrobe and sat back in front of the computer again, looking at the progress plan listed during the day—
When I thought that I might have to rush through the night tonight, I felt my temples twitching.
No matter how relaxed the surface should be, the inner pressure is still heavy.
Pei Yi suddenly had a craving for sweets, but it's a pity that on this big night, the dessert shops are probably closed, so she can't be as self-willed as at home after all.
Thinking of this, Pei Yi had no choice but to get up and open the drawer of the bedside table.
There was still a box of cigarettes and a lighter quietly placed inside, which was borrowed by Li Yuan last time and forgot to return, and the quantity has not been reduced until now.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yi took out a cigarette, opened the ventilation window and leaned against the window to light it—
The lingering smoke numbs the tiredness in the nerves.
He took advantage of the night to settle his mind, but within three to five minutes, he regrouped and sat back at the computer desk, continuing to work.
Pei Yi's ability has been honed in the real world.
The new round of game structure has been approved by Weiyi's senior management, and it has successfully entered the adaptation stage.
In order to avoid complications, Pei Yi only discussed and docked with the director Kong Li in addition to the remote assistance of the studio staff for this adaptation of the script.
In order to reduce Pei Yi's burden, the other party personally helped with everything, and he is a very sincere and serious director.
A group of people were busy spinning around, and finally completed all the handover in the early morning of the 15th.
…
"Well."
Pei Yi woke up with a headache.
He woke up with his brows furrowed, only to find that he had slept all night lying on his stomach in front of the computer desk, and his neck was also frozen.
"..."
Pei Yi fumbled to look at the phone, it was only past eleven noon, and Qiao Dong sent a WeChat report at 7:30 in the morning—
"Brother Yi, take a good rest. I'll go to the film crew meeting for you. I asked the hotel to arrange food delivery at noon. Remember to eat when you wake up. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
Pei Yi slowly smiled from his exhaustion.
The nearly two weeks of high-intensity and overloaded work not only tested him, but also made Qiao Dong grow up rapidly as an assistant.
Thinking about it this way, it's not a waste of time.
The headache and dizziness that accumulated over the past few days continued, Pei Yi only wanted to drink some warm water, and he just opened the locked room door—
Suddenly, the doorbell rang
Pei Yi thought of Qiao Dong's report in the WeChat message, and only thought that the hotel staff delivered the meal on time.
He forced himself to open the hotel door, but froze in place in an instant.
The figure who thought about it day and night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Pei Yi blinked uncertainly, and the accumulated exhaustion in her heart changed at this moment.
Sour and astringent.
At the same time that Bo Yueming stretched out his hand, Pei Yi almost slammed into it headfirst, and the voice that had just woken up was still full of grievance, "Second brother."
