Chapter 565: Chapter 354: Three-Quarters (Part 2)
"It’s impossible; one must choose and give up something."
"..."
The curtain gap was pulled open a bit more, and He Yimeng, with great courage, dared to peek at the two with one eye exposed. Luckily, Zhao Qingge had her back to her and didn’t notice.
"What choice are you making?"
Zhao Qingge brought up the topic, while Li Peifeng stared for a moment, withdrew half a step, and directly lay on the bed: "I can’t give up."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
He Yimeng silently gave a thumbs-up from behind the curtain, and then the two outside the curtain remained silent for at least two minutes, without saying a word, making the room incredibly quiet.
The next sound was as if Zhao Qingge was leaving, the door opened and closed with a ’click click’ sound...
Is she leaving just like that?
He Yimeng pulled open a small gap in the curtain, peeked, confirmed Zhao Qingge was not in the room, then dramatically opened the curtain, looked at Li Peifeng still lying on the bed, and laughed: "I don’t think you’ll make it through this winter."
Li Peifeng opened his eyes and frowned: "Spring has passed for two days; everything is awakening. I made it through!"
The moon shattered, the pines sank.
Li Peifeng walked out of the cold winter, but being on the plateau, couldn’t encounter the warm spring breeze.
...
...
After two days, the filming at Moshi Park was completed, and everyone returned to the Capital on the afternoon of February 9th, immersing themselves in work.
During this time, Li Peifeng called the editor Xia Sheng to postpone the release of "Sword and Law" by a week.
Although the filming of the trailer was complete, Wu Wenyue also finished the song recording, but MOREVFX Studio needed at least four days to create post-production effects.
Li Peifeng took this time to publish a single Chapter in the book, promoting the trailer, and posted several of the main characters’ makeup test photos.
The book fans responded enthusiastically, with few negative comments. Most were satisfied with the characters, repeatedly saying the resemblance is high, looks like, looks like... Of course, it would look like them; the characters came first, then the story.
Simultaneously, Li Peifeng teamed up with Wu Wenyue and He Yimeng to release several videos on TikTok as a warm-up. Just seven or eight seconds, all edited from the behind-the-scenes clips of the protagonists during filming, set under a common topic: "The Chronicles of Sword and Law."
The studio invested some money in operations; the videos themselves were of sufficient quality, featuring better-looking people than ordinary internet celebrities, exotic scenery, and background music paired with Wu Wenyue’s newly recorded inspiring melody from "All Spirits," making them very eye-catching, providing both visual and auditory enjoyment, getting people hooked, wanting to watch it again.
These few videos naturally achieved a good number of views and likes; the topic "Sword and Law" entered the top twenty trending within three days, also gaining some traction on other social media platforms.
Thanks to this, even before the trailer aired, "The Chronicles of Sword and Law" data gradually surged.
As of 4 p.m. on February 10th, "Sword and Law" had been published for forty-four days, updated with 210,000 words, collected over 800,000 likes, and received 1.5 million recommendation votes. It hadn’t even been released yet and fiercely entered the second place on the male frequency monthly ticket list. It’s certain that once the trailer actually airs, the book’s data will hit a new level.
Even the current growth was enough to surprise the editors at Endpoint.
(Group 9 Editor-in-Chief) Yy: "The data growth of Sword and Law broke the record, right?"
(Group 2 Editor-in-Chief) Baodao: "Broken but not completely broken, some early great works had impressive data boosts, even some had 500,000 collections in just six days."
(Group 6 Editor-in-Chief) Peanuts: "(Eating lemons) Data scrubbing seems too low-grade compared to such marketing methods; the latter brings real benefits, fame reaches beyond the circle, two Golden Alliances came in three days."
(Group 1 Editor-in-Chief) Lemon: "Who’s eating me? Spit it out!"
(Group 7 Editor-in-Chief) December: "(Eating lemons) Sour, so sour. Just asked the back office, yesterday alone saw a surge of 60,000 new paying users, all registering for Sword and Law."
(Group 2 Editor-in-Chief) Baodao: "@Xia Sheng, the first subscription will certainly break records; how many tables are you setting up on the release day?"
Xia Sheng: "This is extortion; it’s too much!!"
(Group 2 Editor-in-Chief) Baodao: "You, the head of female frequency, stop babbling; if you want to stay in this group, hurry and show sincerity!"
The editors at Endpoint, due to envy, jealousy, and anger from being out-competed, wanted Xia Sheng to treat them to a meal. At the same time, Li Peifeng also sat in Xu Manning’s Audi, planning to go to her house for dinner and meet Miss Xu’s family.
"Who else besides uncle and aunt?"
"My grandpa and grandma, maternal grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt’s family, aunt and uncle’s family... about fourteen or fifteen people."
Li Peifeng acknowledged with a sound, took out his phone to play with, Xu Manning didn’t speak either, just focused on driving.
After the filming ended and they returned to Beijing, he and the two Xu sisters had an in-depth discussion, Miss Xu agreed to get ’married one by one,’ but also raised a condition.
That is; Li Peifeng must marry her first.
As long as the first marriage is with her, Wu Wenyue’s required one billion dowry, Xu Manning was even willing to help Li Peifeng pay it off through assets, equity, etc.
But regarding this, Wu Wenyue objected. She was assertive and principled, insisting that Li Peifeng must earn the money himself and give her cash to count, she wouldn’t take anything from anyone else, finally mocking Xu Manning for wanting to ’take the first bite.’
On the other hand, Li Peifeng also subtly expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Manning’s plan to be the first one to marry him, which made Miss Xu quite upset, one of the reasons for the silence in the car atmosphere at this moment.
