488 My Story

The reed was seen first, then the spear appeared like the speed of a dragon! Once the video ended, Director of Caiwei Entertainment, Zhang Cai, officially announced the release date for "Holy Warriors of the Goddess" to be on September 15. Before she could announce other details on the premiere screening, sci-fi movie lovers from all over the world started a cheering storm.

The time of the screening was not important as long as the date was announced.

As the executive director of Caiwei Entertainment, Zhang Cai was again voted to be the cutest person of the year online.

On Weibo, it was already lively on usual days. It was even more lively on this day.

Lin Hao, Film Director of Caiwei Entertainment: "Dear viewers, thank you for your support. I believe everyone has watched the video on Young Master's Mechanical Holy Garment. I'm glad to announce that the Mechanical Holy Garment that appears in 'Holy Warriors of the Goddess' is the same as Young Master's Mechanical Holy Garment. Other than its exterior looks, the only difference is that it's not equipped with real weapons. After all, we need to consider the safety of our actors. It will be terrible if the weapons were discharged accidentally."

So Cool's Sheng Wenshi: "Unable to express my shock. In fact, as one of the first persons to know about the Young Master's intention to invest 50 million in the movie, I'm still in doubt. After all, in the movie industry, it's rare that the investment amount in one movie exceeds 10 million. Young Master actually wanted to invest 50 million! My first thought was whether to get back this money. Now I think differently. With the Mechanical Holy Garment, Young Master has gotten more than what's measurable by money. I worship the Young Master. If there's a deadline to this worship, I hope it's 10,000 years."

Veteran film critic Wang Qiong: "Although the movie is not out yet, just by the look of Young Master's Mechanical Man, we can tell the quality of this movie. Dear viewers, see you at the cinema."

All these messages were just the tip of the iceberg.

The real heavyweight news appeared the next day at 8 AM. Source: Ding Chengzhi.

Music Director of Caiwei Entertainment, Ding Chengzhi: "If there's anything that excites me, other than the much anticipated 'Holy Warriors of the Goddess,' it's the song composed by the Young Master, sung by Young Master and super martial arts star Liang Yifeng. Everyone, please enjoy—'My Story.'"

"My Story," composed by Young Master, sung by Young Master and super martial arts star Liang Yifeng! Such a gimmick was sufficient to attract everyone's attention!

A graceful prelude, followed by Young Master's slightly off-tune RAP, a song with a rather nice rhythm.

"Three months ago, I was still a young man. I have houses and I have money, I have fun every day. I love soaking in internet cafes, I love watching TV. My dream then was to become a Saint Seiya!!"

"I really wanted days like that to last, But heaven never considers one's opinion! Every day I play Diamond Star Boxing at home, one day without play is like a year!"

"But mum, dad, I've still got her. In pursuit of a happy marriage. I finally understood, love, is just a joke!"

"Marriage allows me to believe in love. Fulfilling dreams is not ice age. I'm living my dreams drinking Might and Xiao Tai!"

Hong Dali shouted this part with his hoarse voice, next was the super martial arts star Liang Yifeng's singing. He sang in Cantonese with electronic music. Although there were only two verses, it sounded super catchy—

"Happiness, it's buried in the deep winter cold, my heart is only left with bitterness and pain, it's already frozen and sealed."

"Dreams, they flew away like the kite, I want to stretch out my hand to stop and save it, but I have already lost my freedom…"

Then, it was Hong Dali's turn again—

"I'm not in denial, Dali creates miracles. I won't be helpless, I won't lose my confidence or courage. I won't retreat. Don't think about the unbearably sad memories, don't think about it anymore. Just drink Might, forget everything. Numb your heart, continue living."

The first half of the song depicted Hong Dali's glamorous life. The second half was about Liang Yifeng's hesitation. Followed by Hong Dali cheering him on. "Drink Might, don't retreat!"

The lyrics were mediocre, but the key was their catchy singing.

Hong Dali's hoarse voice depicted the vicissitudes of life and Liang Yifeng's electronic sound was irresistible.

Soon, following Ding Chengzhi's Weibo, the entire internet seethed with excitement! The replies reached 40,000 within two hours, and it was forwarded over 70,000 times.

The internet users replied—

Emperor this is good news: "Must listen, feels uncomfortable if I don't listen to it!"

This Weibo is a little awkward: "I never thought our Brother Yifeng is the Prince of electronic music!"

Researching world beauty: "Young Master, I find you especially handsome while kneeling to you!"…

Not only were the moviegoers interested in the song, many singers, actors, and higher management of various companies also found Hong Dali's song very interesting. In an instant, Brother Dali's "My Story" ruled the internet. Countless internet users implied: "I feel uncomfortable if I don't listen to it every day!" The promotion for "Holy Warriors of the Goddess" heated up—Liang Yifeng was the lead male actor of this movie!

While the internet was busy, Hong Dali's number one lackey Ling Xiaoyi was utterly busy—

"I'm really sorry, our Young Master feels averse to any type of advertisement. Yes, thank you for your understanding. Even with the ten million in endorsement fees, there's nothing I can do. What? Others will do? As long as they wear the Mechanical Holy Garment? Yes, I can check with Young Master on that. The final decision still lies with the Young Master. Okay, bye."

"Hello, I'm Ling Xiaoyi. Endorsement for Cadic car advertisement? Yes, okay. Endorsement fee of thirteen million? Okay, I've noted it down. As for the results, I need to check with Young Master."

"Yes? You're Director Zhao from Heavenly State Animation? Yes, you want to buy the exclusive license for the anime adaptation of Mechanical Man? Yes, thirty million. Okay, I will pass your message. I can't say for sure the results."

"Hello, I'm Ling Xiaoyi. Yes? Heavenly State Military website wants an exclusive interview? This… I can't promise anything now. I need to check with the Young Master. Yes, thank you for your understanding."

After rejecting all the endorsement requests, Ling Xiaoyi returned to report to Hong Dali.

"Young Master, there are 32 companies requesting for endorsement. They're big companies within the country. Those with assets exceeding hundreds of billions. The total endorsement fees add up to… 345 million." Looking at her recorded notes, Ling Xiaoyi was straightforward after following Hong Dali for such a long period of time.

The investment for "Holy Warriors of the Goddess" was only fifty million. It had not even screened yet. Just by showing his face, Young Master had received offers for endorsement fees as high as 345 million—all legitimate offers. Once Young Master agreed, he would get all this money.

Even if Ling Xiaoyi's heart was strong enough, it was racing—it was too easy to get this money?

But it was clear Hong Dali did not fancy endorsing anything. But thinking it through, he had spent too much recently. If it didn't require much effort, he could just do a slipshod job.

Lying on Li Nianwei's soft and supple thighs, Hong Dali turned his body reluctantly. "I cannot be bothered. Ask them to check with my dad. See what he thinks." Then, he went back to sleep.

Ling Xiaoyi's forehead was full of sweat. She asked carefully, "Oh yes, Young Master, there was a call from Heavenly State Animation. They want to buy the exclusive license for the anime adaptation of Mechanical Man. Will you agree to this?"

"Eh? They want to make an animation? I can consider!" Hong Dali rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "Tell them to use Sister Zishan as the illustrator. Otherwise, there's no room for discussion! I can't trust anyone else!"

To do an anime adaptation, without Jin Zishan as the illustrator, it'd be a waste of talent! Hence, Hong Dali stated that without saying anything else.

Jin Zishan was extremely unlucky before she met Hong Dali. The comics that she released previously had all failed. This was an opportunity for her to fulfill her dreams.

Hong Dali added, "If they dare say anything about it, I'll open my own animation company!"

"Okay!" Ling Xiaoyi nodded vigorously. She would not let anyone that messed with Young Master go easily.

With this matter settled, Ling Xiaoyi asked again, "Young Master, also, Heavenly State Military website asked for an exclusive interview…"

"No, I'm not free!" Hong Dali rejected instantly. "I don't have any free time until 2114."

"Okay." Ling Xiaoyi held back her laughter. "As for the other companies, I'll have them contact Master directly?"

"Yes, don't bother me. I'm preparing to nap…"

…

Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven.

Hong Weiguo stood by the window looking down at the crowds of people and took a deep breath.

The situation was grim. Qian Guangzhao gathered nearly forty members with the intention to impeach him. With such pressure, Hong Weiguo could feel the pressure even though he was usually unmoved.

To be impeached at the Resource Chamber of Commerce was not a joke.

As he thought this, his secretary Xiao Liu ran in in a rush. Once he entered the room, he shouted, "CEO Hong. Something happened! Something serious happened!"
