The story of “Necropolis Hospital” conceived by Luo Ning told the story of the male protagonist who was the chief resident physician, and the supernatural events he encountered in various departments of the hospital. Since he had published two novels before, Luo Ning felt he was even more handy when it came to writing new books.
He regularly posted a chapter on Weibo every morning. Gradually, many readers who liked supernatural and suspenseful themes had followed his Weibo. These readers did not know his relationship with Qin Yize, nor the previous photo incident, but simply liked this novel with a special style, so they were always urging him to update on Weibo every day.
Until the end of May, the day when the first “Vanishing Corpse” arc ended, Luo Ning’s Weibo suddenly became popular.
Because his novel was retweeted and recommended by many Weibo public accounts. These people were not the troopers invited by Luo Ning, but the “tap water” who thought it looked good after reading it and consciously reposted it. A large number of reposts made the topic of “Necropolis Hospital” actually go on the hot search.
Although it couldn’t compare to “Qin Yize, Xiao Zhuo’s film scene”, “Lin Su’s new film release” or other entertainment stars’ topics, but a work written by a newcomer could be ranked in the top 30 on the hot search list. It had greatly exceeded Luo Ning’s expectations.
Countless new readers flooded in, Luo Ning struck while the iron was hot, and posted the beginning of the second part that night.
If the first “Disappearing Corpse” was horrifying, then the second “Death Elevator” was a thriller. As soon as the opening chapter was published, many readers commented; “I’m so scared that I dare not take the elevator!” “Luoluo, are you a genius? Don’t you feel afraid when you write these plots?” “I’m shivering under the quilt and still chasing the text, must have true love for little Luoluo!”
There were also many reminders. Readers left messages one after another: “Another ten chapters if you can!” “I haven’t read enough, how about a few more chapters?” “An author who doesn’t update is not a good writer!” “If you don’t update, I’ll let hackers hack your optical brain!”
Luo Ning looked at the increasingly lively comment section on Weibo, feeling extremely excited – he never expected that his work would be liked by so many people.
For the whole month of June, apart from following up with Director Yu on the post-editing of “Digital Code”, Luo Ning spent the rest of the time writing a new book.
Qin Yize was busy filming on the set, but he would still have video chats with Luo Ning on time every night. The content of the chats was very casual. Qin Yize would share with Luo Ning any interesting things he encountered on the set. When Luo Ning thought of funny plots while writing the book, he would tell Qin Yize and the two of them would talk about everything. Although they were far away, their hearts were always close.
Until the end of June, when the post-editing work of “Digital Code” was finally successfully completed, and the soundtrack was also produced by IDO Studio. Then Luo Ning and Director Yu watched the entire movie together.
Yu Cheng used all the saved funds for post-processing, and the post-editing and special effects production he invited were all highly rated teams in the circle. The materials they shot totaled about 250 minutes, and finally after editing and splicing, only the essence of 120 minutes was left.
In just two hours, the complex case was presented in front of the audience in a neat but full manner. With the addition of post-production special effects and a soundtrack that fit the scene, the whole film was interlocking and suspenseful from beginning to end. With an extra minute of plot, the hearts of the audience would be firmly grasped by the tense and exciting rhythm, and they couldn’t help but follow the actor’s analysis to uncover the mystery layer by layer.
Luo Ning and Yu Cheng were very excited after watching it, and Yu Cheng sighed: “This is the most tense and exciting suspense movie I have seen in recent years!”
The teacher in charge of post-production smiled and said: “Director Yu, what are you saying? It’s really narcissistic!”
Yu Cheng laughed and said: “No, I’m confident! Our movie will definitely be well received, Xiao Luo, what do you think?”
Luo Ning smiled and nodded: “Of course, I’m also very confident.”
Luo Ning finally let go of the uneasiness and apprehension at the beginning when he saw the final product. He knew that no matter what the final box office collection of this movie was, at least the audience could feel the crew’s intentions, at least the story he wrote was presented on the screen in the most perfect way, as a new director and screenwriter’s first cooperation, this was enough.
On June 30th, Zhou Jinyun suddenly invited Director Yu and Luo Ning to dinner.
After not seeing Xiao Zhou for a while, Luo Ning almost didn’t recognize him. Compared with the young boy when he first joined the crew, Xiao Zhou was much more mature now, and his taste in clothes had also improved a lot. He looked young, handsome and energetic in casual clothes, but seeing the two when they were alone, his smile was still a little shy.
Xiao Zhou said: “Brother Li accepted a youth idol drama for me, and I’m about to join the group to film the drama, so I wanted to treat the two teachers to dinner before leaving.”
Yu Cheng praised: “Not bad, not bad! So fast there is a new drama, it seems that Li Xin is quite attentive to you?”
Zhou Jinyun blushed and said, “Well, Brother Li is very kind to me.”
Luo Ning encouraged him with a smile: “Xiao Zhou, Brother Li is a very capable agent, he has a lot of resources, you should listen to him more in the future, and follow him to film well, with your image and talent, you will definitely become famous.”
Zhou Jinyun blushed even more, exerting force, he nodded and said, “I know. Thank you, Director Yu and Teacher Xiao Luo for giving me this opportunity. If it weren’t for you, I would never have played the leading role in “Digital Code”, and I wouldn’t have gotten to know Brother Li. ” He raised his glass and said with a shy smile, “I would like to offer a toast to the two teachers! I wish our Digital Code to become a big hit at the box office!”
The two raised their glasses cooperatively and clinked it with him.
Many entertainers in the entertainment industry would gradually walk away from their old friends after becoming popular, but Xiao Zhou was a person who knew how to be grateful. Before joining the group, he specially invited Director Yu and the screenwriter Luo to dinner. They did not misjudge the wrong person and had not helped him in vain.
At the dinner, Xiao Zhou took the initiative to ask about the progress of the movie “Digital Code”, and Yu Cheng said excitedly: “The post-production is completed, and it has been submitted for review. If there is no problem with the review, it should be released by the end of this year. By then, Xiao Zhou you will also need to cooperate with the publicity.”
Zhou Jinyun nodded excitedly: “Definitely!”
After the dinner, Director Yu took a step ahead, and Zhou Jinyun and Luo Ning came out of the restaurant together. While there was no one around, he quietly leaned into Luo Ning’s ear and said, “Brother Li asked me to tell you something, he said the filming of Teacher Qin’s new drama is going well, if you want to visit the crew, he can arrange it for you.”
Luo Ning smiled slightly: “Got it.”
After seeing off Xiao Zhou, Luo Ning returned to the villa alone.
During this period of time, he would return to the villa every night to write novels. The third floor had a large space and an independent study room. He was used to conceiving plots seriously in this quiet environment without anyone disturbing him. And he could write the most plausible plot with peace of mind.
But when he walked into the house today and looked at the empty villa, he suddenly felt a little lost.
Qin Yize was not there, and he always felt that something was missing. Xiao Zhou mentioned Yize, which made Luo Ning suddenly miss that person even more.
Although video chatting was done every night, no matter how realistic the video was, you could only see the other party, but not touch the other party. He really wanted to hug his Alpha, wanted to sleep in Qin Yize’s arms, and wanted to hear Qin Yize say good morning to him in a low and gentle tone when he woke up in a daze in the morning.
The more Luo Ning thought about it, the more upset he became.
After returning to the third floor, he turned on the optical brain, but he couldn’t calm down to write.
So, he randomly typed a paragraph, and finally deleted it in dissatisfaction.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ning simply issued an announcement: “I’m sorry everyone, the updates for Necropolis Hospital have been closed for two days, as I have some personal matters to deal with.”
Most readers understood that, and asked him to deal with personal matters first, and adjust his mood before writing a big ending.
Qin Yize was also a member of the following readers. He habitually read the new chapters written by Luo Ning every night before going to bed. Today, he suddenly saw Luo Ning’s leave note and was puzzled, so he immediately sent a private message to Luo Ning: “What’s the private matter? Could it be that the palace asked you to go back?”
Luo Ning said, “No. My father has been very busy recently, so he doesn’t have time to take care of me.”
Qin Yize was even more puzzled: “What is that because of?”
Luo Ning typed back: “Because of you.”
“I miss you.”
Qin Yize: “…”
Looking at the two lines that popped up in the private chat window, Qin Yize’s heart suddenly started beating violently. Luo Ning was never reserved, always so direct, which made Qin Yize very upset.
Luo Ning said: “Yize, I miss you so much, let me see how you are?”
In fact, Qin Yize also missed Luo Ning very much, and was thinking about him like crazy, but as an “Alpha who supports his wife’s career”, he was too embarrassed to bother Luo Ning. He heard from Li Xin that “Digital Code” was in post-production for the past two days, and Luo Ning and Director Yu had been overseeing the whole process. At this critical juncture, it was impossible for him to ask Luo Ning to visit the crew. Now that Luo Ning had offered to come and see him, Qin Yize was so happy that he couldn’t describe it: “When will you come, I’ll let Li Xin arrange it in advance.”
Luo Ning thought for a while and said, “Tomorrow.”
Qin Yize called Li Xin immediately and asked him to help Luo Ning arrange a place to live. Li Xin sighed softly and said to himself: A manager like me who has to worry about my artist’s work and your relationship at the same time is more tiring than being his own mother.
However, seeing Qin Yize so happy, Li Xin was also very happy for him.
