Yamamura adjusted his tie and calmed himself down:
"Well, let's not drink. How about I treat you to dinner? The steak at our restaurant is pretty good."
Then, Yamamura said to his assistant, "Order two of the most expensive steaks."
As the assistant turned, he kept winking and gesturing towards the backstage, making stepping motions.
However, the sound of footsteps didn't come for a long time.
Yamamura: "I told you to order food, what are you dawdling about?"
The assistant said with a smile, "Sorry, my leg is a little numb."
He desperately winked at the backstage again, shaking his head repeatedly. After a long while, the sound of footsteps finally came from backstage, and the assistant went offstage like a puppet on strings.
While waiting for the food to be served, Yamamura smiled and said, "Why does such a busy Detective Matsushita have time to visit me today?"
Detective Matsushita: "President Yamamura, stop it. Stop committing crimes. We already have the details of your insider trading."
Yamamura slammed the table angrily: "Detective Matsushita, I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to worry about it."
"It will be impossible to end this peacefully, you know."
Da da da da da da...
The sound of footsteps rang out on the stage again.
Yamamura said smoothly, "Let's eat first."
The assistant walked onto the stage carrying the steak. He said triumphantly, "This is a special high-end steak only available today, Detective Matsushita. You're in for a treat."
However, as the assistant passed by the table, the sound of footsteps from the speakers did not stop playing.
He had no choice but to continue walking forward, passing the table.
Yamamura and Matsushita stood up, wanting to take the plates, but the assistant walked further and further away.
"Hey, wait, where are you going? Hey?"
The two anxiously called out, but the sound of footsteps continued, and the assistant had no choice but to carry the plates and exit from the other side of the stage.
The audience in the live stream went crazy:
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. He withdrew a steak."
"This newbie is too funny. When he was supposed to play the footsteps, he didn't. When he wasn't supposed to, he couldn't stop."
Yamamura said to Matsushita awkwardly, "Looks like the steak isn't cooked enough."
Matsushita quickly chimed in, "I see."
Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling!
At this moment, the sound of a phone ringing came from the speakers.
Detective Matsushita took out his phone from his pocket: "I'll take this call, hello?"
Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling!
Detective Matsushita was helpless and made a sliding motion on his phone towards the backstage, then put the phone to his ear to answer.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling!
Detective Matsushita had no choice but to put down the phone and pick up another phone on the table.
"Hello, it's me, who are you?"
Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling!
Detective Matsushita had no choice but to put both phones to his ear and shouted towards the backstage:
"I answered, I answered!"
The audience in the live stream laughed: "I'm dying of laughter, hahaha."
Detective Matsushita talked on the phone for a while, then hung up.
Matsushita: "President, I heard your subordinate is Secretary Nagasawa?"
"Secretary Nagasawa?"
"Secretary Nagasawa has agreed to testify for us. What tricks do you have left, President Yamamura?"
"Oh, what a pain..."
Yamamura clicked his tongue twice, then suddenly took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Detective Matsushita:
"If I'm in trouble, you can't think about living! If you don't want to die, don't mess with me, understand?"
Detective Matsushita smiled calmly.
Just then, the sound of police car sirens blared from the stage speakers, getting closer and closer.
Yamamura panicked and pointed his gun at Matsushita:
"What's going on? What tricks are you playing?"
Matsushita smiled calmly: "Did you really think I'd be stupid enough to come alone? Before I came, I already notified my teammates to back me up. Now you're finished!"
Yamamura said in exasperation, "Damn it..."
However, the sound of the sirens faded away, disappearing completely.
This time, both Yamamura and Matsushita were dumbfounded.
Hey, wait, what if the script doesn't say what to do when the police car drives away?
"Hahahahahaha!"
The audience in the live stream commented: "Looks like it's a fire truck."
Helpless, Yamamura and Matsushita exchanged glances. The self-discipline of actors made them decide to continue improvising!
They looked at the backstage with complex expressions, silently praying:
"Newbie sound engineer, you have to be on your game! You have to understand our actions!"
Yamamura gritted his teeth and continued to point the gun at Matsushita:
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
He was waiting for the sound of the gun firing, but suddenly, the sound of the air conditioner starting rang out!
He had no choice but to turn his head and awkwardly point the gun at the air conditioner.
The audience in the live stream: "Good lord, is that a gun or a remote control?"
Yamamura gritted his teeth again, pointed the gun at Matsushita, made a shooting motion, and shouted at the backstage: "I'm going to shoot, I'm going to shoot!"
With a crisp crash, the sound of a glass bottle breaking rang out!
Yamamura had no choice but to throw the bottle on the table to the ground.
The audience in the live stream laughed: "The sound engineer backstage is definitely looking for the sound of a gunshot, but can't find it, so he can only try one by one."
He winked at Matsushita, meaning that the damn sound engineer was constantly messing things up, so they should quickly improvise and end this painful skit!
He shook his gun and provoked:
"I'll count to three, crawl between my legs! Then I'll let you go."
"Three, two..."
Detective Matsushita adjusted his collar and just as he was about to squat down.
Bang!
A deafening gunshot rang out.
Matsushita said in shock: "You... you didn't even count to one yet..."
Then, he fell to the ground clutching his back.
Yamamura, who remained standing, laughed:
"Hahahaha, that's why, don't be arrogant in front of me."
Just as he was about to tuck his gun into his belt, suddenly—
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out.
Yamamura had no choice but to shout "Ugh, my leg!" while clutching his thigh and falling to the ground.
The two men lay motionless on the ground, and bursts of laughter erupted from the audience.
The audience in the live stream laughed:
"This skit ended so abruptly."
"I can't wait to see the full version of the TV series. The daily life of this skit crew must be hilarious!"
"Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I'm going to order the game right now!"
...
The TV series clip officially ended.
The game popped up the settlement interface, and the drama's Douban score soared to 8.5!
The game prompted: [Total number of viewers exceeds 10 million, task failed again]
This time, the company's revenue directly earned 30 million!
The sunglasses man rushed in fiercely:
"You kid, what the hell is going on? You're really an undercover agent, aren't you? Now our company is getting more and more famous, and the inspection agency has set its sights on us. Look at what you've done!"
Yin Zi looked at the other party taking out that gun from his suit pocket again, and swallowed hard:
"I swear, I really wanted to make a terrible drama, do you believe me?"
"You kid, I believed your lies!"
Just as the sunglasses man was about to grab Yin Zi's collar, suddenly, the sound of police sirens blared outside the window!
A group of armed police officers broke into the door: "Put down your guns, your boss is suspected of money laundering and has been arrested."
The sunglasses man raised his hands in a daze and glared fiercely at Yin Zi.
After that, the game popped up subtitles:
[Under your efforts, the original management of Miraculous Pictures has been completely wiped out, and you have become the new management of this company]
[After that, Miraculous Pictures continued to film all kinds of bizarre dramas, becoming a mudslide in the film and television industry]
[Unlock Ending Three: Take Over]
The audience in the live stream was shocked: "There's a hidden ending?"
...
After the live broadcast ended, Yin Zi posted a review of this game on his live broadcast feed:
"Yo, brothers! Today I'm here to share with you another game called 'Miracle Drama Director Simulator'.
This game is just too amazing!
At first, I thought it was just an ordinary business simulation game, but I never expected that it would be full of surprises!
First of all, the game's plot is quite anti-routine. The protagonist plays a producer who covers up for a shell film and television company, but accidentally keeps making popular dramas.
I thought the setting of 'audiences like to watch miracle dramas' was a BUG left by Peach Garden Township.
Now it seems that this is not a BUG at all, but a game feature that was set from the beginning!
Moreover, each drama produced is an unexpected surprise, full of laughter and fun.
For example, the emperor falls in love with a palace maid who wants to assassinate him, a scumbag lying in a hospital bed is scrambled to have his oxygen tubes pulled out by his relatives and friends, and a cleaning worker ruins the entire skit performance...
Moreover, the production of the game's script is also quite flexible. Players can influence the direction of the plot according to their choices. This interactivity is just too interesting!
Finally, the game's sound effects and graphics create an immersive experience!
Whether it's the imperial palace in a costume drama or the skit theater in a modern drama, watching the performance in VR is quite immersive!"
This review feed, once published, was hotly debated all over the internet!
"I went, I've never seen Yin Zi give such a high rating to a game!"
"Hahaha, this game is full of laughs. Every time I watch Yin Zi's live broadcast, my stomach hurts from laughing!"
"After watching the live broadcast, my definition of miracle drama has completely changed. So miracle dramas can be so wonderful?"
"Don't you think that the ending Yin Zi played is a bit like a miracle drama itself? This game is all drama inside and out!"
"The most awesome thing is that Peach Garden Township seems to be using an artificial intelligence large model to randomly generate content based on the labels selected by each player. This ensures that very few players can produce the exact same miracle drama. This undoubtedly greatly increases the game's playability!"
After Yin Zi's live broadcast clips spread, it quickly set off a wave of filming miracle dramas with games all over the internet!
In the game strategy forum, many players frantically exhausted every label branch in the game, wanting to find all the miracle drama easter eggs and hidden endings!
Some players began to create their own miracle drama script MODs and uploaded them to the game platform's creative workshop, directly boosting the game's popularity again!
Some players even moved the miracle dramas in the game to real life, held a scene drama competition for 'Miracle Drama Director Simulator', which once caused heated discussion in the entertainment industry!
As the game broke out of the circle, the game's sales on the Peach Garden Illusion platform skyrocketed, reaching 12 million sets in its first week!
And it drove the sales of the Peach Garden God Tour console. The total installed base of this VR game console in the domestic market has reached 40 million units!
...
Many players ran to the Weibo of Qin Ming, the principal of Daqin Media, who had previously ridiculed the game, to mock him:
"I almost believed your game review. You call this an ordinary simulation game? It's simply redefining ordinary!"
"Haha, Qin Ming, are you stimulated by the success of this game and feel unbalanced? Or did a TV series in the game hit your sore spot?"
"It just hit his sore spot. What are you pulling, a broken MCN organization, afraid that you can't even film a bloody eight o'clock bad drama?"
"Too lazy to go through the process, just say who your gold master behind you is!"
"I heard that the five Central Plains editors under your MCN have completely disbanded because of Peach Garden Township. What, are you going to stand up for the old employees? I'll send you four words: ask for humiliation!"
...
Imperial Capital, Qin Ming's apartment.
Qin Ming was playing Daji's house dance video on his laptop as usual.
"I like my brothers the most!"
Daji's靡靡之音 came from the amplifier, and Qin Ming's eyes gradually blurred.
"Daji junior sister... oh, junior sister..."
A few minutes later, Qin Ming threw the tissue into the trash can with a lack of interest.
Just as he exhaled and wanted to browse the news casually, he was swamped with comment notifications constantly popping up in the Weibo backend.
He sat on the sofa, his phone seeming like a heavy stone, staring blankly at the strings of sharp comments on the screen, a trace of confusion and astonishment revealed in his eyes.
What's the situation? Isn't 'Miracle Drama Director Simulator' a bad work with BUGs, how did it become popular?
Continuing to scroll down and read the comments, Qin Ming's teeth tightened.
The various accusations and sarcasms in the comments made him feel extremely painful and frustrated!
These netizens' comments undoubtedly hit his sore spot!
Over the years, Daqin Media has tried to enter the film and television industry more than once, but each time it returned in defeat.
As a result, a TV series randomly generated by a large model in a simulation game that he had once ridiculed was better-looking than the ones filmed by his Daqin Media. Who the hell can he reason with?!
Qin Ming's hands trembled unconsciously, he forcibly stabilized his phone, a fierce look flashed in his eyes!
Okay, Peach Garden Township, we've formed a bond.
Counting the previous conflicts between you and Junior Sister Daji, we'll settle the new and old scores together!
Qin Ming paced back and forth, starting to plan his next plan.
Soon, a piece of news on the computer caught his attention:
"Peach Garden Township is about to participate in the Tokyo Game Show, and a mysterious new work is attracting attention all over the internet"
"Got it, isn't this the theme?"
Qin Ming immediately dialed his phone: "Assistant Ma, can you check and see if any of the KOLs we've signed have a relatively high profile in the card game vertical? Yes, yes, find me a few people."
After giving the instructions, Qin Ming laughed:
"This time, I will definitely make you look like fools at the Tokyo Game Show!"
……
At the same time, Hengdian World Studios, Taoyuan Township Film and Television Studio.
At this time, the set of a Shinkansen carriage was slowly being built inside the studio.
Looking at the studio that had been initially built, Lu Yu was quite satisfied. Very good, with Director Shi's blessing, let's sprint wildly on the road to bad movies!
In this cycle, he personally went to the front line, no longer having to worry about being backstabbed by his employees.
This feeling of having everything under control is just so great!
Before he could enjoy the thought for too long, he suddenly saw the Taoyuan Township employees in the studio smiling and nodding at him:
"Congratulations, President Lu, another one of your games has become popular!"
