The studio got hot in early summer.
The studio was next door to the dressing room, and the 31st century film and television industry’s real-time post-production processing power was so powerful that the final product could be finished just five minutes after filming.
The scene was completely silent.
The little editor trembled and looked on as this big boss pushed him away from the computer and used the cursor to pull the Little Witch on the screen to the far edge of the screen. The CP sense between Wu Jin and the heroine that had originally already been very faint became even less noticeable.
The little editor felt like they’d been hit by a bolt of electricity.
Wait a minute, who was this person! Couldn’t they see that Little Witch was so scared he’d stuck himself up against the wall? How could this man enter the studio without permission and scare Little Witch!
However, before the editor could open his mouth, a young man who looked like a secretary rushed in. The gold framed glasses were elegant and gentle, and he spoke to Wei Shi in a low voice. The director stood next to the secretary, his attitude humble as he used both hands to receive the business card that the secretary handed over. They talked in low voices that only the main cameraman could hear, “This is President Wei...”
Wu Jin: “!!!”
There was a moment where Wu Jin actually thought that he’d transmigrated into an overbearing president novel. When he took a closer look, the big boss was still the same big boss, and the secretary beside him was clearly the captain of the personal guard...
The director finished talking and waved his hand towards the crowd, “Disperse, disperse. We were just testing out the camera for this segment and won’t use it for the main filming. Where’s Caesar? Get him back here and continue filming the kissing scene!”
Wei Shi stood up and nodded expressionlessly to the director before turning towards Wu Jin.
Wu Jin was instantly well behaved and followed behind the big boss. He went wherever the big boss went, and after the advertisement for the gummy candy was finished, he was very self-aware and squeezed himself into the big boss’s suspension car.
The luxury car’s winged doors descended, firmly covering Wu Jin and locking him inside.
The camera crew suddenly burst out into excitement.
“Who was that just now? Hey, the director accepted his business card but didn’t show us anything!”, “He cut out the kissing scene with a single gesture. What kind of situation is this, is he not letting us film it, or...”
The more they talked, the more excited they grew, until the director and the main cameraman, as the only ones who knew the truth, clarified––
“That’s a player from the Crosson Show, Contestant Wei. Do you guys watch the survival shows or not?”
Everyone looked at each other, and after looking it up, they realized that it really was Contestant Wei. Only the little editor girl who was peeking in from the side, looked very excited when she heard that Wei Shi had come to check in on Little Witch’s filming and then taken him away.
Inside the suspension car.
The captain of Floating City’s personal guard dutifully took over the driver’s seat, carefully raised the partition to the back seat, and played soft string music that floated in the air.
At first, Wu Jin still felt guilty over the kissing scene and sat very obediently beside the big boss.
Then, after waiting for a few minutes, he thought that the matter had been settled, and his eyes began to dart everywhere restlessly––there was a whoosh as Wu Jin quickly stretched out his paws and snatched up a business card from the big boss’s suit pocket.
Floating Entertainment Director, Wei Shi.
Wu Jin sat up straight in awe and exclaimed, “When did you––”
Wei Shi lifted up his eyelids and skillfully plucked out a test paper sticker, “Come here.”
Wu Jin raised his head, and a piece of white test paper was soon stuck to his forehead. Wu Jin immediately howled out in protest.
Wei Shi glanced at him. Wu Jin was silent even when he was injured in the game. At this time, it was clear that he’d been spoiled, protesting even when just a piece of paper was stuck on––
“Kissing scene?” Wei Shi’s lips were pressed together tightly.
Wu Jin was stabbed where it hurt and quickly turned quiet. He sat there motionless on the seat and obediently allowed himself to be pasted with the paper, explaining in a small voice, “It was a temporary addition, I didn’t know either! k2026;”
Wu Jin was still discreetly attempting to blow the test paper off his forehead as he spoke. Wei Shi’s gaze shifted, and in the back seat of the quiet, windless suspension car, Wu Jin was like a little white rabbit spirit that had been pasted with a seal, resisting a little, going still, resisting a little, going still...
Wei Shi reached out and skillfully wrapped his hands around the other party’s wrists, “Don’t you know to call me before accepting a kissing scene?”
Wu Jin retorted quickly, “I did, I did!” Then, he took out his terminal and showed the missed call to the big boss, “It didn’t go through!”
Wei Shi finally let Wu Jin off the hook and pressed a business card into his palm. Wu Jin accepted it quickly, and the seal on his forehead seemed to calm down. The Floating Entertainment Director Wei’s ability to do things was amazing! Sealing away the Wu Jin who’d been filming a kissing scene only took minutes––
Wu Jin’s brain was turning super fast as he put away the business card.
The story of one emperor with two empresses and his two big and small lovers competing for favor in his head suddenly changed! In the blink of an eye, the big boss had become an overbearing president, while he was a street idol who’d offended the tyrannical president and had been assigned to White Moonlight Entertainment. His work wasn’t guaranteed, and he had to rely on others for his advertisement work. Not only was there always the danger of being blocked, he also often had pieces of paper stuck onto him!!!
The test paper tested the Wu Jin content levels. Once the color of the test paper changed, the overbearing President Wei would abandon the poor and pitiful idol and find a Little Witch with higher Wu Jin content levels! The President would see the new Little Witch smile, and forget about the Old Witch...
Wei Shi narrowed his eyes, “What are you thinking?”
Wu Jin was moved by his own inner thoughts, and his expression was a little confused, “What? Nothing!”
Wei Shi: “What was the kiss scene about.”
Wu Jin was honest, “It’s just, the heroine eats a piece of candy, and then the positioning...”
Wei Shi reached out and pulled out a gummy candy from the back seat storage. It had probably been given to him by the director, and the man roughly removed the wrapper, stuffed it into Wu Jin’s mouth, and then pressed against the back of the youth’s head.
The two equally hot breaths met.
“!!!” Wu Jin was excited: It’s starting! It’s starting! The tyrannical president really wanted to take by force––the little idol raised his neck and swept his tongue into the equally delicious President Wei’s mouth, kissing wantonly.
Perhaps because they were both survival show trainees, but while at first, the kiss was still shallow, their interactions later became increasingly intense. Wu Jin’s kissing skills had gradually become more mature, acting like a little beast who refused to admit defeat as he tangled with Wei Shi. The palm of his hand pressed unconsciously against Wei Shi’s neck and shoulders, as though wanting to rub the other party into his own flesh and blood.
“Are you all right? Your subconscious has finished fusing together?” Soft sweetness floated between their lips and teeth as Wu Jin gasped out the question.
Wei Shi nodded, his palm sweeping up towards the youth’s waist from beneath his clothing. Wu Jin was caught off guard and yelled as he was pinched, “No, don’t...” Wu Jin was forced to look up, and the light in the big boss’s eyes seemed to shift. For a moment, he felt like he could see R-Code Base’s Little Wei, and the next moment, it was back to the fused Big Wei––
Wei Shi made a sound of acknowledgement and took his hands back like a gentleman.
Wu Jin finally relaxed, but before he could catch his breath, the man pressed in again. Wu Jin was caught again, “!!!” Why wasn’t it over!
Wei Shi once again reached out to touch the boy group main dancer’s sensitive waist, “He wants to try too.” Wei Shi’s expression was deceptively calm.
Wu Jin: “Who?!”
Wei Shi tossed the blame onto Little Wei, “Your ‘cub’.”
Then, he casually stretched out a hand––
There was a brief scuffle with limbs flying about everywhere.
Wu Jin leaned lazily against the big boss, and his eyes were still covered in a layer of physiological mist. The muscles on the arms and shoulders of the hand wrapped around the big boss’s neck were compact and smooth; although his small, round face could still deceive people, there was an extra layer of unconscious danger that hadn’t existed a few months ago. It was very eye-catching.
Wei Shi peeled off the test paper.
The white test paper was tinged with a barely perceptible pinkish-purple color.
Wu Jin looked at Wei Shi’s expression. He could see clearly that the time to harvest Little Witch was fast approaching...
Wei Shi bowed his head and dropped a light kiss on Wu Jin’s small curls, then pressed the youth into his arms.
Wu Jin was acting lovey-dovey with the big boss out in the open. He held up his terminal to look up information for the next elimination match.
Wei Shi spoke with him occasionally, but the conversation was limited information sharing between players––
Even though he was the sponsor for the game, Wei Shi didn’t give Wu Jin any hints.
The next elimination match was a battleground that he wanted to present to Wu Jin, not a pet cage padded with cotton.
“What about after the Crosson game.” The two of them chatted on and off and came to a discussion about their futures.
“Join the White Moonlight Battle Team as a reserve player!” Wu Jin’s voice was very satisfied with his success.
Wei Shi nodded, “Okay.”
After the competition, the Floating Battle Team would be officially established.
A portion of Floating City’s current industry would go under the Floating Battle Team, making a tentative transformation towards the entertainment industry. Six years ago, the underground survival shows and gambling that were the economic pillars of Floating City had officially been cleaned up and legalized. Similarly, because the underground industries had been brought out into the open, they were now officially subject to Floating City Military Base’s supervision.
Floating City, which had once only existed in the shadows, would officially be connected with the Federation, the Empire, and the vast expanse of interstellar space.
Reborn under the sun.
Wu Jin’s choice to continue his career in the survival show industry meant that he and Wei Shi would spend more time apart than together.
However, Wei Shi accepted it.
He respected all of Wu Jin’s choices.
And would give him as many opportunities as possible.
In the afternoon, Wei Shi, Wu Jin, and Caesar went to eat skewers on the street. After Wu Jin was full enough to have hiccups, they said their goodbyes to Caesar and drove to the next advertisement.
<Falling In Love In Aquila> was being filmed in the blue planet’s film and television city.
Wu Jin opened up the first page of the script and noticed that the management for the show included Floating City Entertainment.
At this time, Wen Lin had also arrived. Although they were guest stars in an idol drama––it was an idol drama with funding and a logical plot.
Because Wu Jin had been trained up by a formal entertainment company in his memories, he soon realized that ‘Aquila’ wasn’t particularly popular, but it wasn’t something that 2nd or 3rd tier trainees in the entertainment industry would pass up.
It was clear that this advertisement was something the big boss had arranged for him.
Being a guest star was pleasant, and the camera time was controlled within a limited range. The guest roles he and Wen Lin played weren’t abrupt and were also appropriate for them to fill as survival show trainees. It wasn’t overboard at all.
The make-up artist didn’t follow survival shows. When she applied powder onto Wu Jin’s face, she exclaimed, “Which company are you from? How cute... would you like to reserve a small, local hot search after the show is aired...”
Wen Lin smiled like a fox as he sent Wu Jin a message, asking him to remember to thank Wei Shi.
They joined the crew.
Because Floating Entertainment was an investor, Wei Shi’s treatment was excellent.
The captain of Floating City’s personal guard, who acted as a part-time secretary, shuttled between the crowd, and Wei Shi remained in the suspension car.
The leading actors were very curious about the luxury car, but they were only told that one of the investor bosses was sitting in the car, and the black-tinted glass blocked any curious gazes.
Nobody knew who he was waiting for.
When the shooting was over, Wu Jin asked Wen Lin to help him pass on a message to Secretary Qu, then went around the crowd and got into the co-pilot seat of the big boss’s car.
“Let’s go.”
Wei Shi settled into the driver’s seat and left the guard captain at the set, taking Wu Jin into the depths of the film and television city.
In a villa zone nearby, the lights were bright, and the sound of revelry could be heard.
Wu Jin immediately picked out the sound of Arjun, who was acting like a human-shaped dog and flattering an actress.
Wei Shi lifted his gaze.
Arjun immediately went back to work.
After Floating City Entertainment had been established, Arjun had been the first to ask for the status of an honorary president in order to chase after girls. Wei Shi and Mao Dongqing didn’t care much about this area, but Arjun was very smooth, and his social circles were very broad.
Arjun poured champagne for the two of them and led Wu Jin forward, “Little Witch, don’t be nervous. These people can be reasonable if they want to, but if they’re, then forget about them. The big boss said that we’ll be going back to Floating City tomorrow. If we’re not satisfied, there will be other producers––”
On the way, Wu Jin even saw Zhuang Fan, who’d been assigned to a group in an entertainment talent show.
The boy group team leader was very excited, and Wu Jin was also very excited.
Zhuang Fan even said hello to Wei Shi. He seemed to be treating the two of them as survival show trainees who’d come in to join the fun. “Did you guys come here to play around? You aren’t familiar with the circle, so if you run into anything, I’ve got your back! There are several famous producers in this dinner party, and they’re still on the balcony upstairs. You definitely picked a good time to come...”
“Come find me out front when you’re free. Our entire boy group came over to get close to the red carpet! Little Witch, if you want to come play, I’ll introduce you. Everyone in the boy group looks the same after putting on makeup, and you’ll definitely end up blinded when you see them...”
After they separated, Arjun led Wu Jin upstairs.
Wu Jin suddenly remembered what Zhuang Fan had said, about how there were several producers upstairs––
Arjun was very attentive as he opened the door.
Wei Shi patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, “Go in.”
Arjun brought over a guitar.
Wei Shi handed a terminal to Wu Jin.
Shown on the screen were pieces of music that Wu Jin had written in the Crosson dorms. Most of them were ballads from centuries ago.
The door opened in front of Wu Jin.
Wei Shi: “They all have working relationships with Floating City Entertainment. If you want to record, learn to compose, or become a lead dancer in a MV, it’s all up to you.”
Juurensha: Awwwww, a entertainment plot just for Little Witch!
