163: These people can always spot their own retribution at a glance among a group of people.
"I'm really fine, don't worry."
"Mm, you should also rest early." Tang Chen reminded him a few more times, hung up the phone, and just happened to see Shen Si coming out of the restroom.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."
"Let's go." Tang Chen smiled and left the restaurant with Shen Si, walking towards the company parking lot.
On the other side, Chen Fang hung up the phone and stretched his shoulders.
He decided to check the system. He had turned off the system notifications tonight, so he didn't know how things were going.
Before evening, he had checked and there were 3.2 million negative emotion points.
After exchanging for Eight Extremities Fist, he still had 1.7 million. Then he spent 200,000 on two ten-pulls.
Later, on the set of "legend of fong sai-yuk," facing the connections in the film industry, he was more restrained. After all, negative emotion points were just a tool; the ultimate goal was to climb higher, and he couldn't go against the natural order by using his future connections to gain negative emotions.
Because of this, he specifically came to "the adventures" to gain experience.
After joining "the adventures," the data finally surged rapidly, reaching 3.2 million by this evening.
After a night's gala, how was the effect of "cant learn"?
Chen Fang clicked on the system, and saw the panel displaying [Negative Emotion Points: 3.712 million].
The next second, it jumped to [3.713 million].
The data was slowly climbing.
However, currently only short versions of a few dozen seconds could be found online, so the growth rate wouldn't be very fast in the next few days. It should only surge after the full version of the song is released.
It's really easy to gain data by appearing on variety shows and releasing songs.
Chen Fang said to the system in his mind, "Check the negative emotion point growth data for these people in the last two hours: Liang Yan, Yue Qingzhu, Xie Yunxuan, Bai Wenbin…"
Chen Fang listed the names of the guests and program staff he could remember, then added, "Exclude data below 20, and sort from high to low."
Because low values were likely from audience members or passersby with the same name.
[Host is truly...]
As soon as Chen Fang heard the system's impassioned loyal servant voice, he immediately interrupted, "Shut up, just check."
[Xie Yunxuan Negative Emotion Points + 6212]
[Yue Qingzhu Negative Emotion Points + 5111]
[Bai Wenbin Negative Emotion Points + 2333]
[Shen Wantang Negative Emotion Points + 2100]
[Sun Zhiyuan Negative Emotion Points + 1981]
...
A group of people troubled by love.
Xie Yunxuan having over six thousand is easy to understand. He always focused on others, was played by himself in the afternoon, and then saw himself steal the spotlight tonight. His resentment could absolutely sustain the Evil Sword Immortal.
Thinking of this, Chen Fang paused slightly.
Oh my god, I'm not the Evil Sword Immortal, am I?!
[No, you are a clear stream in the entertainment industry, a stabilizing force radiating immense light amidst the filth!]
A stirrer, then. Well, a stirrer is at least a stick.
Chen Fang continued to look down.
I didn't realize Teacher Yue's resentment was so strong too.
It couldn't be just because she lost that she generated such strong negative emotions. It must be that "cant learn" awakened her past heartbreak, right?
I didn't realize Teacher Yue had also experienced heartbreak.
5111 negative emotion points, how long ago did this happen for her to have such strong resentment towards this song?
Indeed, heaven never treats devoted people well; it usually torments them to death.
These people who get into relationships always manage to spot their own karma in a crowd.
Chen Fang scanned downwards and suddenly realized a problem.
He asked in his mind, "Where's the director? Director Liu."
[Total is 15.]
It seems the director is very happy.
After roughly understanding the emotional reactions of those around him, Chen Fang closed the data page and said to the system, "As per usual, let's do a ten-pull."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Advanced Singing Technique (Swallowing Mountains and Overlooking the Masses Style)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Novella and Short Story Gift Pack.]
A double yolk egg, not bad.
With the 'Swallowing Mountains and Overlooking the Masses' style, he would now be in his element singing Wuxia and fantasy-type songs.
The system's classification of singing techniques, like the system itself, was a bit abstract, not a regular division.
But he found that these singing techniques and acting techniques were all interconnected. For example, after previously acquiring the 'Evil, Ruthless, Terrifying, and Supernatural' acting skill, his muscle control improved, and his performance level for other types of roles also slightly increased.
For songs with a tender and flowing style, he could now sing them quite well with diligent practice.
A nice reward.
Chen Fang continued, "Open the Novella and Short Story Gift Pack."
[Novella and Short Story Gift Pack, contains "`leaping special`," "The Mist," and "The Computer of the Gods."]
Oh my god, three short stories by Stephen King.
Stephen King has a very famous novella called "The Shawshank Redemption," which was adapted into a movie that ranks first on film rating charts in many countries. "The Shining" also came from his hand.
Although these three are not as famous as "Shawshank," they are also excellent works.
"The Mist" is considered a novella and was adapted into a movie called "The Mist."
Although jump special has not been adapted, it is considered a very excellent and classic work among his short stories. "The Computer of the Gods" is also good.
What surprised him most was that all three contained elements of horror and suspense!
Finally! He had finally entered this field.
Since it was meant to scare people, the more readers, the better, of course.
This time, he wouldn't participate in a competition like with "ghost blows out the light." Firstly, the audience wasn't broad enough, and secondly, people who enjoyed horror and suspense works already had considerable courage, so their defenses were too high.
He needed to change his approach, preferably by expanding the audience.
Chen Fang pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on his backpack.
Among the rewards from the program team just now, there seemed to be a 'Conference Theme Designation Card' that could be used to host a storytelling session.
To hear him tell this story for the first time in person, wow, the other six were in for a treat.
However, "The Mist" wasn't quite suitable for airing on a variety show. He would tell jump special first.
Perfect, next weekend, he was going to announce that he was Dongfang, so he would use this short story to warm up.
jump special is a sci-fi horror short story. Set in the future interstellar colonization era, humans invent a instantaneous space teleportation technology called "`leaping special`." The protagonist's family is preparing to teleport to Mars. While waiting for the `leaping special` to begin, the protagonist tells his wife, son, and daughter the history of this technology's development to help them relax. During the narration, he gradually reveals the hidden cost behind this technology...
Neither the process nor the ending is bloody.
Common horror novels rely on concrete descriptions to deliver sensory impact to readers, such as gore, violence, and monster bites.
This one, however, relies on the reader's imagination of abstract concepts. It will make readers imagine "eternal conscious imprisonment and solitude." Reading it might leave a strong lingering effect.
To tell this story, two things needed to be done in advance.
First, he had to write it tonight. It's a short story, and he could finish it quickly by using voice typing. Also, the original work is foreign, so it needs slight modifications to avoid a strong sense of incongruity. But he doesn't plan to make major changes; after all, there are Western fantasy novels in China, so the overall structure can remain unchanged, ensuring the core meaning is preserved. However, some parts must be modified, such as units of weight and volume like ounces, which need to be replaced with common units to prevent listeners from having no concept after hearing them.
Sigh, another night of outworking his roommates.
The second thing is to communicate with the director in advance tomorrow.
But tomorrow's theme is suspense and reasoning, so it should be fine. Good luck.
Chen Fang closed this gift pack.
