Free Web NovelChapter 438: Chapter 245: Related to Chen Jincheng Again?
While Xue Qian, Zhu Zhen, and the others looked on curiously, Sister Hong placed her phone on the table for everyone to see.
Now, Xue Qian and the others saw what was happening. In the video, the male lead was holding the female lead, grabbing onto a vine, and swinging to the other side.
It was from a foreign film, one that seemed to be a global box office hit.
The key was the novelty of the funny commentary, done in that "Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei" style. It was different from the purely comedic recaps of the past.
Those older comedic commentaries were just for laughs, completely ignoring the actual plot of the movie or show.
But this video commentary integrated itself with the plot. It was funny while also allowing the audience to follow the fast-paced story.
Even though they had seen the movie before, they were still interested enough to keep watching.
It was quite remarkable, which proved the video was a success.
Sister Hong quickly played the next video. A voiceover began, "I really can’t stand it. After watching the two most recent historical dramas, they’re calling this Dry Land Leaping ’Qinggong’?...
Xue Qian and Zhu Zhen were intrigued when they heard this.
As people in the industry, even though they hadn’t filmed a proper movie or TV show, they knew how filming worked these days.
The prices for celebrities were getting higher and higher, so productions cut costs wherever they could.
Some historical action scenes didn’t even have a martial arts director. It was all about the fan economy, milking the fans for all they were worth. As long as their idol was on screen, that was enough.
So, what’s so strange about seeing a simple Dry Land Leap when historical action scenes don’t even have a martial arts director?
The video proceeded to show several cringeworthy Qinggong scenes.
Xue Qian couldn’t help but want to complain after watching. ’Has the film and television industry really gotten this bad?’
’Well, probably not entirely...’
But the video’s criticism was so pointed that it made you believe this was the case, and you couldn’t help but want to complain along with it.
Even Xue Qian, a big star himself, felt this way, to say nothing of Sister Hong, who complained directly, "Can’t the male lead even kick his legs a little?"
Chen Jincheng saw their expressions and knew this was exactly the reaction he wanted. It meant his editing was a success.
This way, when they later saw Xiao Yuanshan’s sideways flight and Erlang God’s turn in the bamboo forest, the viewers would feel a rush of excitement.
And just as he’d expected, when the group saw the classic Qinggong clips—Xiao Yuanshan’s sideways flight and Erlang God’s turn in the bamboo forest—they all thought it was mind-blowing.
"They probably can’t film Qinggong like this anymore, can they?" Sister Hong couldn’t help but ask.
At the same time, she knew this compilation video was definitely going to be a massive hit. It was going to go viral.
After that, Sister Hong opened the third video. This one was a straight-up "venom-tongued commentary" type of video.
At first, Sister Hong, Xue Qian, and the others didn’t feel much, but as they got deeper into it, the video felt like a pot of tea. The more you savored it, the richer the flavor and aroma became, leaving a long, complex aftertaste.
It even included some reflections on life when many of the characters were killed off.
The feeling was very peculiar, completely different from the previous two videos. It had a more sophisticated feel.
If they came across a video like this while scrolling through Tiao Yin, they would definitely give it a like and follow the creator.
After watching three videos in a row, Sister Hong and Xue Qian finally understood. This was how to properly use Tiao Yin’s new video editing function.
Sister Hong also understood why her boss wanted to create three separate accounts. "Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll get the three accounts set up as soon as possible. It just means we’ll need to hire a few more people for the editing department."
Chen Jincheng nodded. "Hiring isn’t a problem. But the two plot commentary videos are quite long. You can use a three-panel thumbnail format when you upload them."
"Okay, Boss!" Sister Hong nodded.
"Alright, let’s eat first!" Chen Jincheng said to everyone, seeing that the hotel staff had brought all the dishes.
Everyone sat down and began to enjoy the delicacies provided by the hotel.
Because Chen Jincheng had truly made the Wenhua Oriental Hotel go viral by creating the Wave-Summoning Technique photo spot, Lin Sheng had spared no effort in preparing this dinner.
He also decided that tomorrow he would find someone to rebuild that reef area. At the very least, it needed to be safer for tourists going up to take pictures of the "Wave-Summoning Technique," and a surrounding fence needed to be built.
After eating for a little while, Chen Jincheng excused himself to the group, saying he wasn’t feeling well and was going back to his room to rest. But once he left the restaurant, he secretly slipped out of the hotel, got into a car, and headed for the Hyatt Hotel once again.
When he knocked on his beautiful tutor’s door, he saw she had once again dressed meticulously for the evening, a clear sign she was taking today’s "lesson" to heart.
After closing the door, Li Suwan sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to her.

Just as Chen Jincheng received a game notification, it was time for a "break between classes."
Chen Jincheng picked up his phone and found several unread WeChat messages. He opened them and saw a series of beautiful selfies sent from Jiang Xiaobai and the other girls.
Each of them was wearing a sexy nightgown, a sight that made his heart flutter. They had clearly prepared these outfits back in Coastal City.
’It’s a shame the trip to Shanya is already arranged.’
But one photo stunned him.
It was from Song Ya, the guest room manager at the Wenhua Oriental Hotel.
Her attempt to visit his room last night had failed, so today she had sent a photo of herself wearing only... a few small items.
Below it was a message: "Mr. Chen, I’m so sorry, I sent that by mistake. The time to unsend it has already passed."
Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but laugh. ’Like hell she sent it by mistake.’
’Such a transparent ploy.’
It was a common tactic girls used to seduce men. The simple excuse of "sent by mistake" achieved the seductive effect while also giving her plausible deniability. She had her advance and her retreat covered.
