Chapter 307: Happy Dog Theory

"Woof!" From today on, Bo Ge begins his life as a dog.

……..

"How could anyone not watch this!" Bo Ge felt that no fan of the Immortal Sword series could resist the temptation of the second installment!

"It is very obvious that these two parts are connected."

"At the very least, the world-building is definitely consistent."

"Plus the original cast returning, and the many regrets left behind by the first part…….."

"Ah, integrity, what is that worth anyway! Laozi is definitely watching!" Bo Ge thought to himself.

At this moment, a problem arose.

When the show airs, if one watches it in secret, then naturally no one will know.

Being a dog in private where no one can see, what is the big deal about that?

"But…….. can I really hold back from making a video for the second part of Immortal Sword?" Bo Ge began to doubt himself.

The answer is—I cannot!

Being an UP-master is actually just a hobby for him.

Although he became popular, he rarely relied on this to make money.

Nothing else, just money!

In the entertainment industry, it is common knowledge that many children of the wealthy debut as stars.

But in reality, there are also many children of the wealthy in the industries of internet celebrities, UP-masters, and even web writers.

They pour their heart and soul into it because of interest and passion, not caring how much profit they make from it.

Otherwise, since Bo Ge became popular because of his Immortal Sword 1 videos, how could he have vowed that watching Luo Mo's show again would make him a dog?

Of course, he must take advantage of the hype and continuously update content on Luo Mo's future works!

This way, they can also drive traffic to each other.

"Since I can't help but cheer for it, and I can't help but be a dog in front of the Masses, then why not…….. hehehe!" Bo Ge had a new idea.

He decided to make a trailer video for Immortal Sword: Jingtian Chapter.

Although this is equivalent to slapping his own face at the speed of light, what does that matter?

It is better for everyone to be a dog together than to be a dog alone!

One person being a dog is called shameful.

A hundred people being a dog, a thousand people being a dog, ten thousand people being a dog…….. that is called a carnival of the Masses!

Once there are many people, it instantly stops being shameful, doesn't it?

On the contrary, one might even find it very stress-relieving and happy.

The above is Bo Ge's—Happy Dog Theory.

………

………

As soon as the promotion for Immortal Sword: Jingtian Chapter was released, it sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Countless people expressed extreme anticipation, Want to Watch the original cast continue to write the Myth of immortals and heroes!

Industry insiders reacted keenly, all seeing that Luo Mo was extremely ambitious; he never intended to film just one part from the beginning, which is why everything progressed so rapidly.

Many people sighed with regret because of this: "We were too slow to suck up to him!"

Everyone is currently waiting for an opportunity, wanting to find a chance to get close to Luo Mo and then participate in his new project.

But who would have thought that just as Immortal Sword became a massive hit, instead of enjoying the fruits of victory and basking in the glory for a while, he would actually start filming the next part already!

One must know that by now, probably half of the entertainment industry wants to join Immortal Sword: Jingtian Chapter!

With Immortal Sword 1 as a masterpiece, even the supporting roles were fleshed out; playing a little Butterfly spirit in it could gain a crazy amount of fans and skyrocket one's popularity. Who wouldn't want to reach the top in one step and courageously climb to a new peak in their career?

But his casting was clearly already finished, which meant that no one else had a chance.

Unless one used some hidden rules to replace someone halfway and snatch the role away.

Suddenly, many people developed all sorts of messy ulterior motives.

This is also one of the reasons why many Actors turn to become directors after achieving success.

Writing and directing one's own work means possessing supreme authority.

Going from being manipulated by others to manipulating others.

Some ambitious and greedy people would do anything to compete for a role or to add scenes for themselves.

If you are both the screenwriter and the director, aren't casting, replacing actors, or adding scenes for a certain character just a matter of a single word?

Precisely because of this, Luo Mo plunged into the film and television industry and created a phenomenal work with multiple identities, and his status after crossing over was instantly solidified!

Quite a few people with ulterior motives were already inquiring in various ways.

They all wanted to see if they could participate in Immortal Sword: Jingtian Chapter and see if they could get a piece of the pie.

As for those monsters and demons who had previously mocked Luo Mo to ride his coattails, they regretted their actions somewhat.

This was equivalent to cutting off their own path to advancement!

At the same time, many people noticed that there were some changes in the creative team of Immortal Sword: Jingtian Chapter.

Comparing it to Immortal Sword 1, the second installment of the series could be described as one person forming an army; Luo Mo held multiple positions, and the entire creative team actually only had his name!

At least back then, Guan Fei was written in the Producer column, but this time, even Guan Fei was gone!

This sent a signal to many people—Luo Mo is going to continue to prove himself!

Everyone had heard a little bit of the gossip from the outside world.

Because Immortal Sword was too popular and the entire work was too mature, it didn't look like it came from the hands of a Newcomer director at all, so there was "inside information" claiming that the director's work was actually mainly handled by Guan Fei, and Luo Mo was just a figurehead.

These people spoke with such certainty outside, feeling that only die-hard fans would believe that someone who had barely acted in a play could suddenly become a director.

In the creative team for the second installment, Luo Mo dared to list only his own name; this in itself was already a powerful response!

Of course, he never thought about making the trolls shut up.

Because there are some people who, even if the facts were slapped in their faces, would still find another way to argue stubbornly and use a different narrative to bash you.

And look, someone on the internet is saying again that Luo Mo is discarding the Ox after the work is done, claiming that once "Celestial Sword 5" became a hit, he kicked away Guan Fei, who contributed the most, to go solo.

It was clearly Guan Fei himself who volunteered to withdraw, and clearly Guan Fei was also doing it to slap these people in the face. Yet they don't feel any pain in their faces; instead, they act as if they want to make decisions for Guan Fei, bashing Luo Mo for having no conscience.

"Young people really only think about proving themselves."

"Heh, let's see what kind of mess you can make of this second installment!"

"Laughable, do you really think you're a genius?"

"Tragic, Guan Fei is truly tragic! I feel pity just looking at it, I feel it's so unfair!"

Regarding these remarks, Luo Mo has never once thought about paying them any mind, nor has he ever thought he needed to prove himself to this bunch of monsters and demons.

His mindset is very simple:

"To become a great tree, do not contend with the grass.

A General has a sword, not to slay flies."

He runs too fast to hear these messy, chaotic noises; he only stirs up a clamorous wind in the process of his running.

As for you lot...

——Just listen to the wind!

……..

……..

As soon as the character Poster and filming information for "Celestial Sword 5: Jingtian Chapter" were released, the popularity of "Celestial Sword 5 1" soared once again.

When Octopus TV aired the finale, the ratings closed at 1.51, successfully breaking 1.5!

This phenomenon has never occurred among second-tier satellite channels in recent years.

The massive hit of "Celestial Sword 5" meant that the station head Xu Guan no longer had to worry about what Drama to air after "Celestial Sword 5."

With the backlog of Dramas currently at the station, do any of them even deserve to follow "Celestial Sword 5"?

"Someone come here! Air 'Celestial Sword 5' for me one more time!"

Yes, they actually chose a seamless second round of broadcasting!

On Blue Star, according to the rules, when a show is sold to a regional satellite channel, there are two possible models.

One is the buyout model, where you can air it as many times as you want; it's fine to take it out and air it every summer vacation.

The other is selling only the first round of broadcast rights, and the second round must be purchased again.

"Celestial Sword 5" followed the latter.

Although Xu Guan had originally gone against the crowd to buy "Celestial Sword 5" at a price others considered high, he did not go for a buyout.

Because a buyout is more expensive!

Now, although it is the second round of broadcasting, the amount paid is not much different from the first round!

This is the benefit of a show becoming a hit!

Selling a show before was like selling a raw stone with potential during stone gambling. Now that the stone has been cut and the jade inside can be seen, it can be sold at a high, clearly marked price.

Octopus TV gave the price according to market rates, while other regional satellite channels were scrambling to contact Luo Mo Studio, lining up with cash in hand, just thinking about buying the second round of broadcast rights!

The three major satellite channels were among them, and Octopus TV suddenly seemed to have no competitive edge.

It's just that Luo Mo is a person who values old ties; when others didn't think much of it, only Xu Guan dared to buy it, so as long as the price was reasonable, he would definitely prioritize Octopus TV.

Before "Celestial Sword 5" started airing, Luo Mo could only be considered to have made a small profit.

But it doesn't matter; there are still plenty of ways to make follow-up money now.

For example, the second round of broadcasting, the third round of broadcasting...

And various merchandise, as well as game adaptation rights, etc.

Adding all the miscellaneous things together, making a small target is not too easy!

And this is only the revenue brought by the show itself, not counting the follow-up income that a group of Actors can earn after becoming famous from the show!

It can be said that although the new year has just begun, Luo Mo Studio is already overflowing with wealth.

……….

……….

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Bo Ge, an UP-uploader who had already abandoned all integrity, finally finished producing his video to build hype for "Celestial Sword 5: Jingtian Chapter."

He had actually finished this video as early as yesterday afternoon, and only chose to upload it after hesitating for a full day.

"From now on, integrity is a stranger," he sighed, then directly shut down his computer, unable to bear looking at the bullet comments on the video.

Until... his WeChat exploded!

A group of peers were frantically sending him messages, saying that this video of his had become a massive hit, even more so than the series of videos he made for "Celestial Sword 5" earlier.

This left Bo Ge a bit stunned: "Why?"

Nothing else, it was just too silly!

In the video, Bo Ge recorded it while wearing a mask, wearing a husky mask.

In the video, he let his imagination run wild, making predictions about the Drama within "Celestial Sword 5: Jingtian Chapter" and the connections between the two shows.

Every time he said a sentence, he would follow it with a "woof."

In the bullet comments, at first everyone was spamming: "A real man!"

A real man must have the courage to be a dog!

Others expressed that they had always thought Bo Ge was very talented, but he was just too ugly. Before, they only listened to the audio when watching his videos and didn't want to see his face, but now that he had turned into a dog, they suddenly loved the whole person!

But as I scrolled further, I didn't know if it was because everyone's expectations for the "Jingtian Chapter" were truly too high, or if they had also undergone Assimilation... one by one, they all started to fulfill their own promises.

How could one not watch this show?

This Bo Ge makes it sound so tempting; I wish I could watch the new show tonight, I wish I could be a dog tonight!

A terrifying scene appeared just like that.

Every time Bo Ge "woofed" in the video, the barrage comments were flooded with the character "woof."

This video eventually even startled Luo Mo.

When Luo Mo watched this video, his entire face twisted together.

"There's no need, there's really no need..."

In an instant, a nationwide frenzy of anticipation for the "Jingtian Chapter" was set off on the internet in all sorts of strange ways!
