Otherworld Entertainment Guide

The number of customers in the tavern gradually dwindled. After the last person left, the waiter cleaned up and cheerfully said goodbye to Chen Xi.

Li Yao sat in front of the fireplace for a long time without moving, holding his phone and waiting for a reply.

pity,

Lin Xiaowei was never online.

"That's settled then," Li Yao put away his phone, got up, and went upstairs. He still had alchemical research to do, to analyze the circuits of spell models, and to meditate... His best friend was already Intermediate Rank Mage, while he was still struggling at the second-ring level. What if she came back to Earth and was stronger than him, and wanted to beat him up? For some reason, Li Yao felt a little guilty.

Now, his alchemy skills are sufficient for him to create magical items.

Alchemy has always held a special place in the world of mages. A mage is not necessarily a skilled alchemist, but an alchemist must possess profound magical expertise. Alchemy is also known by mages as the "philosophy of all things." It explores the relationship between matter, magic, and humanity, and imbuing mortal objects with spirituality is one of the topics studied by alchemists.

certainly,

That knowledge was still far beyond Li Yao's reach; for now, he could only follow the instructions to prepare some potions and create some magical items.

Recently, Li Yao has been researching and creating a magical item called "Mister Li Flying Blade". This item is embedded with magic stones and engraved with floating magic patterns. It can be linked to the mage's mind and its trajectory can be controlled by thought to create a destructive effect.

Mister Li Flying Blade was originally shaped like a throwing knife, but after being improved by alchemists, the knife-shaped blade became a flattened shuttle shape, with an outer ring of Mithril Saw Chain, which, when driven, had both piercing and cutting power.

Under the mage's manipulation

The flying blade has a range of 100 meters and a maximum speed of 840 meters per second. It is equipped with a silent pattern, allowing for a stealthy and undetectable ambush. One quarter of a standard unit of magic stone can power it for 15 minutes.

If one's alchemy skills are exceptional, even more magical runes can be attached.

Invisibility, illusions, and so on.

This is just a trinket for alchemists.

However, Li Yao liked it very much, because once it was successfully developed, it would be like he had another means of attack.

perhaps,

I can cosplay Magneto... kind of cool.

He had no problem creating the initial version of the flying blade; now he was researching how to attach more magical effects without affecting its power and endurance.

At present, progress is rather slow.

When the time was almost up, Li Yao studied the knowledge of potion-making for a while, and then began to work on constructing Spell Circuit by consuming magic power. When the magic power was exhausted, he entered meditation, and the day was over.

The next day, early morning.

Li Yao was woken up by his cell phone ringing.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Lin Xiaoxi: "Holy crap! That's a great idea! You're such a clever little devil!"

"The Emperor?" Li Yao frowned, thinking to himself that this guy was getting more and more arrogant.

Lin Xiaowei was clearly excited. Last time, she had casually mentioned it and it led to the creation of an "Otherworld Version Internet." What could she possibly create this time?

Cultural invasion of another world?

I'm actually a little excited just thinking about it.

Li Yao replied, "Let's talk later. I just woke up and need to wash up first."

He then got out of bed to stretch his body, took a shower and washed up before going downstairs. Chen Xi and Big Sis Feng Li were practicing again. Li Yao greeted them with a smile, "Sister, you were really something last night!"

Feng Li, attacking with ease with one hand. "What are you laughing at! What's the point of drinking if you don't get drunk? Aren't alcohol expensive?! You idiot!"

Li Yao: "..."

He finally understood that arguing with Big Sis Feng Li would never end well.

She's like a thug; no matter what you say, she'll come at you with a flurry of punches, leaving you completely bewildered before saying anything more.

reason?

Self-esteem?

Shame? That doesn't exist! Li Yao started to miss Old Man Lu.

I don't know how many days it has been since Old Man Lu left, but I miss him.

Not wanting to make a fool of himself, Li Yao finished practicing a set of "Qi Refining Technique" and returned to the fireplace in the tavern. He lay down, took a nice sip of Vitality Potion, and then replied to Lin Xiaowei, "I was saying that I provided such a great idea, do you have any shares in your huge business over there?"

Lin Xiaowei: "No, goodbye!"

Li Yao: "..."

never mind,

You understand, I spoil you.

Who told me to be your father?

Li Yao frantically tried to figure things out for himself. He even considered learning some curse magic, but the magical knowledge of this other world was in Lin Xiaowei's hands. What if his curse magic inspired her? He also didn't know if curse magic would be effective when cast across dimensions! Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to film, I'll get you a few sets of photography equipment."

High-end photography equipment is incredibly expensive! Not just the equipment, but also the props and everything else. Even post-production rendering isn't cheap... Oh, my best friend doesn't need post-production; they just use magic effects directly, and it looks incredibly realistic! If all else fails, we can hire an illusionist as the special effects artist, saving us the trouble of post-production rendering.

An American film can easily cost hundreds of millions of USD, and post-production is a huge expense.

The actors' fees are a sum of money.

The rest of the funds went to the production crew and props.

But if you think about it carefully, the actors, props, and otherworldly elements are all readily available, and the special effects don't need to be specially made or rendered. The key is the cinematographer, editor, etc... This can be handled by having your best friend send the source material back to Earth, while Li Yao takes care of the rest.

Thinking about it that way, it seems quite feasible.

Li Yao shared these ideas with Lin Xiaowei, who pondered for a moment and said, "The feasibility is indeed very high, but the problem is that I don't have any relevant knowledge. Operating the camera equipment requires specialized training, and camera techniques, skills, and crew coordination all require professional knowledge."

Not easy! Li Yao pursed his lips; it was indeed true.

Before her time travel, her best friend studied marketing and communications, so she was very familiar with the Internet, but she wasn't very good at making movies.

There is a lot of knowledge that needs to be learned from scratch.

Even if a monk has a strong learning ability, it still takes a certain amount of time.

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start with something simple... literary books, crosstalk, stage plays, how about those?"

Wherever there is intelligent life, there will definitely be a demand for entertainment! Where there is demand, there is a market! And the market is money! Lots and lots of money! Lin Xiaowei clapped her hands in amazement. "Damn! How come your little brain is so sharp!"

Li Yao held his phone and thought to himself with a smug smile: Is this a compliment?

Lin Xiaowei stomped her feet excitedly. "The plagiarism issue might take a while to show results, but the crosstalk might be very effective! Let's get on with that first!"

Crosstalk is a folk art form that emphasizes speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing. Its performance style is relatively simple, and it can be done by two people or even one person! It usually uses jokes, humorous Q&A, and rap to make the audience laugh.

This craft looks simple, but it's actually quite complex.

After all, it takes skill for just two people to stand on stage and make people laugh.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao added, "We should also learn crosstalk, open a chain of teahouses, and introduce storytelling, Suzhou storytelling, and other traditional arts... We could call it Folk Art Teahouse,' I think that's a good idea!"
