Chapter 87: A Party of Three and Shanhe Games Studio

The May Day holiday ended, and with *Lost on Journey* having been in theaters for 10 days, the box office had already reached over 96 million. It was another classic case of a small investment yielding big returns, and many companies in the industry were already planning to follow the trend and learn from it.

Ning Hao was also very happy; seeing another film surpass 100 million at the box office, his status in the industry had become even more secure.

The happiest ones had to be Xu Guangtou and Wang Baoqiang; for an actor, the boost from being the lead in a 100-million-box-office film was truly immense.

With two consecutive small-budget blockbuster films, Wei Jin Fengliu Film and Television Company had also attracted the envy and jealousy of many companies in the industry. However, Wei Jin had no time to care about the thoughts of these green-eyed monsters; at this moment, he was on his way to visit the set of *The Temptation of Going Home*.

Arriving at the set, Wei Jin saw that filming was in progress, so he instructed the floor manager not to disturb them and sat quietly to the side, taking the opportunity to observe Sun Hao's level of skill.

Not long after, a scene finished filming, and he saw Yan Danchen, dressed somewhat plainly, looking at Wei Jin with a face full of surprise.

"Junior, why are you here?"

Yan Danchen thought Wei Jin had come to visit her, and she felt a little warmth in her heart.

"I thought I had some free time, so I came over to check on your filming progress."

Looking at his senior, who remained beautiful despite her plain attire, Wei Jin was reminded of her gentleness once again.

"President Wei, you're here."

Sun Hao, who had been staring at the monitor for a while, finally reacted and hurried over to greet him.

"Yes, Senior Brother, how is it? Is the filming going smoothly?"

Wei Jin did not doubt Sun Hao's ability, especially since he had done the storyboards himself; Sun Hao was just a tool man. He was mainly worried about situations on set that he couldn't control.

"It's going quite smoothly. The actors are all very cooperative, and the crew members are all from our company, so they are easy to work with."

"That's good. Go ahead and greet everyone; I brought some fruit and snacks for everyone."

Wei Jin nodded and said; after all, when visiting a set, one must have a gesture of goodwill.

"Everyone, come over here. President Wei is here to visit the set. Let's take a half-hour break."

With the director's call, the other actors walked over one after another.

"Hello, President Wei. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Ling Xiaoshu was a bit reserved; the gap in status between the two was simply too large.

"Hello. You acted well just now; keep it up."

Wei Jin didn't have much of a friendship with Ling Xiaoshu and couldn't say much more, so he could only chat politely for a few sentences before turning to Yang Rong:

"Sister Rong, are you getting used to the set?"

"It's quite good, President Wei. Everyone is taking good care of me."

Although she was playing a villain, Yang Rong had no objections to the company's arrangements.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Wei Jin left the set temporarily, not wanting to affect their filming.

In the evening, Wei Jin took the crew to a hotel for a meal; it was only right for the big boss to treat the crew to a good meal when visiting the set.

After they were wined and dined, Wei Jin did not leave; Liu Yan had already booked a room at the hotel where the crew was staying.

After arriving at the room, Wei Jin took a nap on the sofa, while Liu Yan, being very observant, went to the bathroom to run a bath; she knew Wei Jin liked to soak.

Before long, Liu Yan's voice came from the bathroom:

"President Wei, the water is ready."

Wei Jin strode toward the bathroom and stopped Liu Yan, who was about to leave: "Join me."

Hearing this, Liu Yan did not refuse; it wasn't the first time, after all.

Soon, Liu Yan removed her clothing and entered the bathtub with Wei Jin.

Playing with Liu Yan's peaks, Wei Jin felt a bit of emotion; once this woman gave her heart, she was truly obedient.

"Next month, you'll be going off to host a show. Where will I find an assistant as good as you in the future?"

By now, steam was rising in the bathroom. It was unclear if it was the high temperature or Wei Jin's overly skillful technique, but Liu Yan's face was already flushed. She twisted her body slightly and said, "If you put out a notice to recruit an assistant, how many girls from art schools would be lining up to come? Besides, where am I that good?" Wei Jin's hand moved downward, feeling the woman in his arms tremble, and he whispered in her ear:

"You are very good right here. I like it very much."

"You're annoying..."

The two were whispering and nuzzling in the bathtub, just about to take things further, when a knock sounded at the door.

Wei Jin had a guess, stopped his movements, got up to wrap his body in a bath towel, and opened the door to see Senior Yan Danchen, who had changed her outfit, standing prettily at the entrance.

At this moment, Yan Danchen was in a white silk slim-fit short skirt and black stockings with high heels—a proper city girl. Where was even half the plainness she had on set during the day?

Wei Jin poked his head out, looked left and right, then pulled his senior directly into the room, closed the door, and began to kiss her.

His senior responded passionately as well. Seeing the clothing on her body becoming less and less, and feeling that she was already aroused, he heard a sound from the bathroom.

Yan Danchen turned her head to look, and Liu Yan was slowly stepping out of the bathtub, water splashing all over the floor.

Never having expected a third person in Wei Jin's room, Yan Danchen was both ashamed and angry. Just as she was about to break free, Wei Jin, possessing immense strength, scooped her up horizontally around the waist, showing no mercy, and pinned her to the bed.

One had to know that Wei Jin had not yet tried a "three-person journey." With such a good opportunity today, how could he let it pass? Wei Jin knew that Liu Yan would likely not refuse him; for now, he just needed to bring his senior to heel. Before Yan Danchen could make a sound, Wei Jin had already exhausted his repertoire of methods. Before long, Yan Danchen was unable to resist, and half-pushed and half-yielding, she could only accept it.

That night, Wei Jin was one dragon with two phoenixes, his combat power unparalleled; truly, "in a party of three, there must be one who is my teacher." Waking up early the next morning, only Liu Yan was still fast asleep beside him; Yan Danchen had already left early. The bashful look from last night had been seen by Liu Yan, and she was too embarrassed to stay and face her.

Waking Liu Yan up, the two washed up and began their return journey. Just as they were about to reach the company, Wei Jin received a call from Xiang Wenlong. He gave Zhu Wei an order and arrived at the investment company.

"Wenlong, are you saying that *Zhu Xian* is already finished?"

What Wei Jin was referring to was not a script, but a game.

In his past life, Wei Jin had played many games, but there really weren't many from this era.

The one that left a deeper impression was *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*; in his past life, Wei Jin was a veteran player and had spent nearly 100,000 on microtransactions.

It was a pity that the game rights to the novel had long been sold by Mr. Jin Yong, and Wei Jin could only sigh in frustration, so he could only set his sights on another game he had played, *Zhu Xian*.

"Yes, after nearly a year of research and development, the studio has finished production, but it still needs to undergo a few tests before it can be launched."

Since joining the company, Xiang Wenlong had known the boss's ambition. Over the past two years, he had been digging for talent related to the gaming industry, and early last year, he had officially established Shanhe Games Studio.

"Alright, take me to see it. I want to test how it turned out."

Hearing this, Xiang Wenlong took Wei Jin downstairs. The game studio was also in the same building as Qingtian Capital, just not on the same floor.

This was only the second time Wei Jin had come over. After returning from North America in May last year, he had met with the management of the game studio once; that was when he had given the instructions for the R&D of *Zhu Xian*.

After a few pleasantries, Wei Jin did not say much more and proposed to try out the game; after Du Bo, the person in charge of the Studio, performed some operations, Wei Jin had been in the game interface for nearly an hour before he put down the mouse in his hand.

"There are no problems with the style and design, the fluidity is also quite good, and the production is quite exquisite, it just seems to be lacking some places where one can spend money."

Ever since Wei Jin became a capitalist, he had truly changed his face; in his past life, he was the one who hated microtransactions the most.

"You can add some in-game clothing items, mount appearances, and even limited-edition weapons and equipment; these can all be included, and also..."

Wei Jin proposed over a dozen suggestions in a row, all aimed at expanding the players' desire to spend, leaving the several high-level executives of the Studio dumbfounded for a moment—is this guy even human?

Wei Jin had no time to care about the thoughts of these tech geeks; making money is not shameful, and there are plenty of people willing to spend money playing games—without microtransactions, how can distinguished VIP customers feel the service of a god? "Right, how is the contact with the operation channels going?"

A game cannot become popular just by relying on research and development; it relies more on operations, and currently, the Studio does not have channels in this area and can only cooperate with others.

"We are currently in contact with Shanda and Perfect; both have some interest, but there are some disagreements regarding the revenue-sharing ratio."

Although Du Bo came from a technical background, he also knew that the game operation company was the key to whether a game could become a hit, and the partners he chose were all among the top in the industry.

"By the way, President Wei, President Chi from Perfect has proposed wanting to meet with you."

"Sure, no problem, arrange it for next month; I'm going to the Cannes Film Festival in two days."
