Chapter 6

With the entertainment industry's ban lifted, the family's financial pressure no longer had to be solely borne by Zhou Yang.

Thinking about the changes in his youngest son over the past few days, Zhou Hong felt increasingly gratified. In just two days, the entire family had undergone a significant transformation: his wife's condition had stabilized, his youngest son had become more obedient and no longer caused trouble, his eldest son's new book had received a stunning amount of tips, and he himself was no longer banned from the entertainment industry, allowing him to continue pursuing his unfinished dreams.

What was once a family on the verge of falling apart had suddenly become harmonious and happy.

Zhou Hong still couldn't believe the changes in his family, as everything had happened too quickly. He hadn't been prepared, just like when he was banned from the entertainment industry, which had left him in despair. Now, however, he felt excitement and joy.

"Xing, Xing!" Zhou Hong called out to Zhou Xing.

Wiping his sleepy eyes, Zhou Xing asked drowsily, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Zhou Hong said, "It's not early anymore, go back to your room and sleep."

"Okay." Nodding, Zhou Xing prepared to return to his room.

But seeing Zhou Hong's wrinkled face and graying hair, Zhou Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks, a wave of sadness washing over him. Now, he had fully entered the role of Zhou Xing, both a visitor from a parallel Earth and a rebellious teenager in this world.

At this moment, he was wide awake, with only one thought in mind: "Help Dad!"

However, Zhou Hong was just a small-time director who had never directed any formal films or TV series, and had mostly shot advertisements. His status in the entertainment industry was negligible, which was why he had been easily banned. In such a situation, how could he help his father?

Invest in a movie and explicitly ask Dad to direct it?

This idea was good, but it wasn't suitable to propose right now. After all, Dad had limited connections and experience, and rushing him might do more harm than good.

After much deliberation, Zhou Xing finally decided to persuade his father to shoot a micro-movie.

And he already had a plan in mind: the first micro-movie would be "Father"!

Seeing his son standing there in a daze, Zhou Hong asked curiously, "Son, aren't you going to sleep?"

Zhou Xing, who had already made up his mind, nodded and said, "Yeah, I'll go to sleep right away. But Dad, don't rush to go out tomorrow. I'll give you a surprise." Winking mysteriously, Zhou Xing smiled and went into his room.

"A surprise?" Zhou Hong smiled, looking at the door and murmuring, "You've already given me many surprises."

In the room.

Zhou Xing took out a pen and a notebook, recalling the micro-movie "Father" that he had once seen, created by the Chopsticks Brothers.

"Father" is divided into a father-son version and a father-daughter version. To be honest, the father-son version has more comedic elements, set against the backdrop of "Old Boy," highlighting a tragedy that evokes many people's emotions. However, Zhou Xing chose the father-daughter version, which has fewer comedic elements but builds up gradually, culminating in an emotional explosion at the end, resonating with countless viewers. Especially when the father, after walking the red carpet, suddenly turns from a heroic figure to a demented one, creating a stark contrast and a strong visual impact. Coupled with the touching song "Father," even the toughest person might be moved to tears.

This micro-movie left a lasting impression on Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing was ready, but when he put pen to paper, he realized he knew nothing about screenwriting.

How to write a script, what elements to include...

What he thought would be a simple task turned out to be quite challenging. Zhou Xing's head ached as he struggled to come up with ideas.

"Host, what are you worrying about?"

The system's voice was always cold and emotionless, but Zhou Xing occasionally felt a hint of concern. Maybe it was just a delusion, but he preferred to believe it.

Zhou Xing admitted, "I want to write a script for a micro-movie I once saw, but when I started, I realized I know nothing about screenwriting."

"If it's just a problem with the script, then the host doesn't need to worry. Although the core function of the Rich System is to cultivate a generation of tycoons, as a super intelligent system, it also has some other simple functions. The host just needs to choose which micro-movie, and the Rich System will generate the script based on the host's memory, without the host having to do it manually. If the host is not satisfied with the auto-generated script, it can be modified at any time."

Zhou Xing was almost jumping with excitement, "That's great!"

No wonder it's the Rich System, it's awesome!

Even its secondary functions are so powerful, which shows how amazing it is!

"Alright, then generate the script for the father-daughter version of 'Father' for me now." Zhou Xing rubbed his hands and chuckled, "With this script, my dad can take the first step, and in the future, I can hand over all the high-grossing movies I remember to him to direct!"

Although he didn't know the exact performance of the father-daughter version of "Father," he knew that this micro-movie had once been a huge hit!

2:00 AM.

The room was still lit, and Zhou Xing yawned with fatigue, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Even with the help of the Rich System, it took Zhou Xing two hours to finish the script. The system, after all, is a system, and the auto-generated script was too rigid. While there were no errors in the script, it felt stiff and lacked a human touch, making it hard to move people. Therefore, he had to make continuous revisions, but fortunately, he managed to get it right in the end.

Placing the completed script on the wooden cabinet, Zhou Xing opened his phone and said, "System, buy me 10 million Origin Coins."

"Buying, please wait..."

"Purchase complete. 10 million Origin Coins have been transferred to the host's account. Reminder: The host still has 99.6 million RMB available for spending this month."

Logging into the Origin Chinese website, he opened the bookshelf and clicked on the "Battle Through the Heavens" page.

Zhou Xing exclaimed, "Hmm."

The "Battle Through the Heavens" tip column showed 104 tips. Strictly speaking, it was only the second day of uploading, and the third day would start at 5:00 AM. In just two days, there were 104 tips, which was quite impressive. Among them, there was a 100,000 Origin Coin tip and several 10,000 Origin Coin tips, indicating that "Battle Through the Heavens" was gradually gaining momentum.

Of course, this was also due to the author's hard work.

Currently, "Battle Through the Heavens" had been updated to Chapter 8, with four updates per day. Such a fast update speed, combined with the high quality of the story and writing, would certainly achieve good results, even if the quality was average.

This was proven by the author's previous book!

No matter what, he needed to give the author a boost!

"[Tip] Heavenly flowers falling, moved to tears, the author's talent deserves this tip! 'Zhou Xing' tips 'Dongyang' 10,000,000 Origin Coins: I didn't expect the author to update so quickly. Since the author updates so quickly, I will also tip generously. I won't let the author's hard work go to waste."

10 million Origin Coins were spent again.

Zhou Xing exhaled, feeling relieved, and wanted to say just one word: "Awesome!"

The book review section was lively, with few readers discussing the book itself. Instead, most of the discussion was about Zhou Xing, taking up about 60% of the comments. About 20% discussed the plot, 10% were casual comments, and the remaining 10% were ads.

One post was continuously replied to by many readers, effectively pinning it to the top.

"Delicious Skewers—Revelation: After investigation, it has been about 1 day, 18 hours, and 36 minutes since Zhou Xing first appeared. As of now, he has tipped a total of 30 million Origin Coins and has not subscribed to any books. In other words, Zhou Xing spent 300,000 RMB in less than 2 days, and the books he tipped, he hasn't actually read, as there is no subscription record on his personal page."

"First Floor—Lighting incense."

"Specialist in All Kinds of Troubles—LZ is a scoundrel."

"Casual Commenter—Since ancient times, the second floor has been full of fools."

"Daytime Breeze—The thread is off-topic. Who is Zhou Xing, anyway?"

"Zhou Family Chairman—Zhou Xing is indeed V587! I heard in a QQ group that he directly gave the ad-posting authors a guild leader's reward, so I came to visit and worship!"

"Truth Emperor—LZ is right, Zhou Xing is definitely a tycoon!"

Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh and cry, "It turns out I've overshadowed the author!"

The author, Zhou Yang, was probably hiding in his room, feeling quite depressed.

However, what Zhou Xing didn't know was that his name had already become well-known among the authors. After all, a reader who directly gave the ad-posting authors a guild leader's reward had never appeared before. This action only proved one thing: he was truly rich, and a mere 100 guild leaders were nothing to him!

Now, most authors were thinking about one thing: how to get close to this tycoon!

Even if they didn't say it out loud, many authors were thinking about it, just not wanting to lose face.

Zhou Xing opened his private messages and found a bunch of ads.

"Ads are quite annoying when there are too many."

Zhou Xing asked the Rich System for help again. He waved his hand grandly and said, "System, in the future, delete all the ads in my private messages that are arrogant or hypocritical, and also delete any ads that repeat for the second time. For the rest, tip 100,000 Origin Coins, but only for the first 100 books. If there are more than 100, wait until the next day. In the future, all ad-posting authors should queue up for tips. If there aren't enough Origin Coins, just buy 10 million Origin Coins for me, and don't notify me every time."

"Understood, host."

PS: Thanks to 'Wanshi Canyang' for tipping 100 Origin Coins, and thanks to 'Weisuode Wuo' for tipping 100 Origin Coins! Finally, a big supporter has tipped, and my anxious heart is at ease! Finally, I ask for recommendations and collections. During the new book period, support is needed. I sincerely ask for your help. In short, with your support, updates will not be a problem!
