Chapter 1 Script for Season 1, Episode 1 of "Péi Zǒng's Daily Life":

I glanced at my Rolex, not to check the time, but to casually let you know I'm loaded.

This day, I had a sudden urge to create a game that would make players spend like crazy.

I casually sold a Rolex to scrape together an initial R&D fund of two hundred thousand.

An hour later, when the task was handed over to the new intern, the money had shrunk by three-quarters.

Looking at the resource prices on the resource station, I felt a little relieved; at least the people below were honest.

Now, the intern was left with fifty thousand for R&D.

I heard that he was supposed to develop a game with fifty thousand. His expression at the time went from bewildered to doubtful to surprised to pleading, and finally, to resignation. It was especially amusing.

I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. It seemed that I, who had been dominating the business world, was finally about to experience a failure.

Never would I have imagined that I would actually create a game that would make players spend like crazy.

The intern made a boring game where you drive for eight hours, but it was surprisingly popular with players. In just two weeks, sales exceeded two hundred thousand.

So, I was happy and gave him a month of paid vacation, so that he could continue to explore the inspiration for game design in the scenic spots of the motherland.

Watching a future star designer rise, I felt fulfilled and gratified, having completed another insignificant small goal.

Alas, the daily life of a game design master is often so simple, unadorned, and boring.

……

Zhu Xiaoce wrote the script for the first episode like a whirlwind, and even felt a little unsatisfied.

"Brother Huang, how is it!"

Huang Sibó read it once: "Not bad! There are jokes, reversals, and dark humor. This script is good!"

"And these are all based on Péi Zǒng's real experiences!"

"The scenes are shot directly in the company, and the actors and sets are readily available. It takes at most half an hour or an hour to shoot an episode. Including the post-production time, it's more than enough to produce an episode every two days."

"However... the only problem is that Péi Zǒng actually planned the success of this game. Is it a little inappropriate for us to make it feel like an unexpected event?"

"Does it belittle Péi Zǒng's image?"

Zhu Xiaoce shook his head and said, "Hey, art comes from life, but it's higher than life! It's originally about re-processing art. I believe that with Péi Zǒng's generosity, he certainly won't care about this."

Huang Sibó thought for a while: "Well, that's right!"

The two instantly became excited.

Zhu Xiaoce continued to work on the script for the next episode, occasionally consulting Huang Sibó about some details of Péi Zǒng's daily work, as well as some interesting facts in game development.

Huang Sibó began to purchase equipment, recruit post-production staff, and so on.

At this pace, filming could officially begin in two or three days!

……

February 9th.

There are 3 days left before the Spring Festival holiday.

Péi Qián was still a little busy during these 3 days.

The final draft of the game "Game Producer" had to be written and finalized, and formal R&D would begin after the New Year holiday.

On the internet cafe side, preliminary preparations had to be made. Decoration would begin after the New Year, and we would strive to complete the decoration and layout within a month and officially open for business.

As for the name of the internet cafe, Péi Qián had already decided.

Mo Yu (Loafing) Internet Cafe!

In short, he hoped that all the staff of this internet cafe would loaf around every day and lose money as soon as possible.

This, like "Tengda," embodied Péi Qián's good wishes.

Finally, there was the short video "Péi Zǒng's Daily Life."

Director Zhu Xiaoce had told Péi Qián that the first episode would be filmed today and released during the Spring Festival.

As a show of sincerity, they had already paid Péi Qián's personal bank card all the remuneration for the three seasons in one go, a total of thirty thousand!

Péi Qián's personal property that could be freely disposed of instantly reached fifty thousand!

Péi Zǒng, who had never been so rich, felt great!

As the saying goes, take people's money and help them eliminate disasters.

Péi Zǒng was ready to appear on camera.

In the afternoon, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibó, as well as two other errand runners, arrived on time.

The most expensive of all the equipment was a SLR camera worth more than 50,000, and the other tripods, sunshades, etc., added up to less than 10,000.

Seeing Huang Sibó being so frugal, Péi Qián was instinctively a little unhappy.

He didn't look like a Tengda employee at all!

However, since Zhu Xiaoce said that all one million would be spent, Péi Qián naturally had no reason to ask more questions.

"Péi Zǒng, this episode is very simple, just a few shots. You don't even need to look at the script. Anyway, you don't need to say any lines. We can dub them in post-production."

Zhu Xiaoce was very thoughtful, for fear that asking Péi Zǒng to memorize lines would waste Péi Zǒng's valuable working time, so he took care of everything.

"The first shot is of you lying on the sofa in the reception room, raising your hand and looking at your Rolex."

"The second shot is of you holding this game magazine, turning to the new game introduction poster on it, and pointing at it with your hand."

"The third shot is of you smiling at the corner of your mouth, looking into the distance, with a bit of a meaningful feeling..."

Péi Qián didn't have many shots. In a one-minute video, Péi Qián had the most scenes, but it was only twenty seconds at most.

Péi Qián struck a few poses at random, and the filming ended in less than ten minutes.

"Okay, Péi Zǒng, filming is over! You can continue to be busy."

Zhu Xiaoce put away the equipment and prepared to shoot other people's shots.

That's it???

Péi Qián was confused.

What did they film?

A short video shot like this, without even a specific storyline, could it work?

Sure enough, this video was bound to lose money!

Péi Qián returned to his office, feeling much relieved.

He had a good eye for talent, and Huang Sibó and Zhu Xiaoce had not disappointed him!

Although losing one million wouldn't help him much, every little bit counts, and it was always a happy event.

Péi Qián looked at his Rolex and thought, these two are frugal enough. They even have to freeload my watch as a prop. They are really thrifty.

Huh?

Wait...

Péi Qián suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Rolex!

Why was the first shot of me looking at a Rolex?

Was this a coincidence?

No, there were other blind spots!

For example... why lie on the sofa to look at a Rolex!

Why show a meaningful smile...

These shots, how do they seem, a little familiar??

Péi Qián suddenly realized that the situation was not good!

Something was about to happen!

He hurriedly jumped up from his office chair and left his office.

At this time, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibó had finished their shooting work and were packing up tripods, sunshades and other equipment, preparing to leave.

"Director Zhu! Wait!" Péi Qián quickly called out to Zhu Xiaoce.

Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "What's wrong, Péi Zǒng, is there anything else?"

"Um, can I take a look at the script for this short video?" Péi Qián pretended to be indifferent and asked casually.

Zhu Xiaoce nodded and handed over a script: "Of course, here."

Péi Qián reached out and took it.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first, Péi Zǒng, to edit."

Everyone said goodbye to Péi Qián and left.

Péi Qián returned to his office with the script.

The script was not long, and he finished reading it in a glance.

After reading it, Péi Qián collapsed in his chair.

"I... I'm seeing ghosts!"

"Isn't this a combination of Zhu Yidan's Boring Life and Unexpectedly!!!?"

"What happened to not filming Unexpectedly???"
