Chapter 116: Crossing the Player
After returning to China, Shen Mengfei did not relax because of the award, he knew that there was still a long way to go in the road of Chinese films, and the most important thing was that he would continue to launch works that could make the audience laugh.
With the continuous expansion of Shen Mengfei's fame, Mengwan Entertainment has become the No. 1 entertainment company in China.
The current Shen Mengfei is the guarantee of the box office in the eyes of investors.
Countless investors wanted to cooperate with Shen Mengfei, but they were all rejected by Shen Mengfei without exception.
In addition to rejecting investors, Shen Mengfei also rejected many so-called big names and various cream students. Shen Mengfei is a person who pays attention to the team and has good resources, so he must give priority to Mengwan Entertainment, unless the actors of other companies are very suitable for a certain role.
At the beginning of May 2025, Mengwan Entertainment began filming a hilarious movie called Crossing Player.
The time-traveling player tells the story of a thirty-four-year-old programmer who has been working for ten years, doing boring code typing work every day, he fantasizes about change all the time, talks about changing the status quo, and thinks about how to do it. But he never put it into action.
Day after day, his spirit gradually became problematic.
One day, he worked overtime until 1 a.m. to finish his work, and when he returned home, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he fell asleep in bed.
He had a dream in which he traveled back in time from modern times to the Qing Dynasty, where he was a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam.
On the way to Beijing, he and other candidates had a series of interesting stories, and during the exam, he used the views of later generations on the Qing Dynasty to write a shocking article, which won the emperor's appreciation and successfully became the champion.
After becoming the champion, he began to play all kinds of games, because he felt that he was a time-traveler and would have to travel back sooner or later, so he kept playing like crazy.
But after a week, two weeks, he never crossed back. He began to want to use his abilities to help change the Qing Dynasty.
Tick tick tick.
The wake-up alarm goes off.
The programmer was woken up by the ringing bell, and he suddenly found that it was a dream, the crossing was fake, and the champion was also fake, but he was too happy in the dream.
Traverser, champion, this dream is really done at a level, if all this is true, it will be too perfect.
Although I think so, I still have to go to work, after all, it is just a dream.
After a day of work, I came back in the evening, and after the programmer washed up, I lay in bed, thinking that if only I could continue to have that sweet dream.
After falling asleep, he dreamed again, this time, he still dreamed that he was a time-traveler, and he traveled to the future a hundred years later, the year 2125.
In the future, the population will become small, the gap between the rich and the poor will not only not narrow, but will become wider and wider, and technological intelligence will completely replace human labor.
The top rich seek eternal life, a small number of the poor seek affluence, and the middle class and most of the poor choose to entertain to death.
The programmer's identity after this crossing is a top rich man.
He can't adapt to the future lifestyle at first, which leads to a series of hilarious things.
When he got used to some of the future lifestyles, he felt tired, he began to change, and he brought his dream lifestyle into the future.
Tick tick tick.
The wake-up alarm goes off again.
The programmer wakes up and finds that it was another dream.
In this way, I go to work during the day and go home at night to sleep and dream, and every dream is a good dream.
At first, he didn't record it, and that afternoon he would forget what he had dreamed about last night, and he only remembered that he had a good dream.
In order to remember what the dream is. When he woke up from his dream on the seventh day, he began to write it down with a notepad.
Two months later, he stopped dreaming.
Some people say that there are thoughts and dreams every day, but this sentence is not entirely true.
No matter how much a programmer thinks about one thing or another, he can't control himself when he falls asleep
The brain dreams.
Another month passed, and he still didn't have a dream.
Since I can't dream beautifully, then I'll use my ability to make a dream! The programmer is determined to use the program code he is good at to hammer out a beautiful dream based on games.
A person's ability is limited, and the programmer chooses to be brave once, and he quits.
He opened a studio by himself, and he found more than a dozen unemployed coders to work with him.
Using a copy of the sweet dreams in the notepad, they worked together to create a game called the Timetraveling Player.
With its beautiful backdrop and interesting story copy, this game has attracted countless players.
These dozen or so game founders have all become rich with this game.
...
Since the place where the actor crosses is different every time, the shooting background has to be changed frequently, and the shooting time is relatively long.
After four months of filming and two months of post-production, the film took the player six months to complete.
The movie is scheduled to be released on November 1, 2025.
Why not set for the Spring Festival? Wouldn't that be more secure at the box office? Many netizens have such questions after seeing that the crossing player is set for November 1.
The reason why Shen Mengfei set the time for the crossing player on November 1 is because the time he announced is the time when all video software and live broadcast platforms release the movie for free to travel through the player.
In this movie, he is to complete the main task of the good luck system, as for how much money he can make, Shen Mengfei said that it doesn't matter.
When the people of Mengwan Entertainment contacted the heads of major video software platforms and live broadcast platforms, they were all stunned.
Free Screening? Mengwan Entertainment and the platform can share the traffic fee, and there is no need for the platform to pay Mengwan Entertainment.
The heads of the major platforms couldn't believe their ears, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing really existed.
At the end of October, when Shen Mengfei's live broadcast of the movie through the players will be released for free on major video and live broadcast platforms, all fans felt that Mengwan Entertainment sold the movie copyright to major platforms.
But when Shen Mengfei explained that the copyright of the movie was not sold, it was authorized to major platforms for free, and a contract was signed, and the platform was not allowed to charge privately, nor was it allowed to force the audience to open VIP to watch. The cooperation between Mengwan Entertainment and the platform is a model of sharing traffic fees.
Hearing this, fans called "Fei Ge heroic".
In addition to Shen Mengfei's live broadcast for publicity, major video software and live broadcast platforms are doing publicity, and for a while, the popularity on the Internet is focused on the hot search that movie crossing players will be released for free on major video software and live broadcast platforms.
During this period, a certain traffic Xiaosheng cut his toe skin while filming, and no one paid attention to who and who had any scandals.
Mengwan Entertainment and Shen Mengfei's behavior of focusing all the attention of the whole network on themselves has attracted the hatred of many capitalists, directors and actors who have not eaten the benefits.
These people who have not eaten the benefits are waiting for an opportunity, and they vow to step Mengwan Entertainment and Shen Mengfei into the swamp, so that Shen Mengfei will withdraw from the circle and the net, and let the entertainment industry return to the hands of capital.
How much this group of people hate Shen Mengfei, how much the audience loves Shen Mengfei and Mengwan Entertainment.
In the early morning of November 1, movie crossing players logged in on major video software and major live broadcast platforms.
The heat is unprecedented.
Several live streaming platforms and video software have too many viewers, resulting in lag and flashbacks.
The group of people who hated Shen Mengfei also watched the movie through the players, they tried to find fault in the movie, and then directly attacked Shen Mengfei.
But it's a pity that after watching the crossing players, they almost burst into laughter, they hate Shen Mengfei is true, but the movie crossing players are not as dark as they want to.
They watched it over and over again, but each time they couldn't hold back a smile. They really couldn't find anything to hack about the movie.
Shen Mengfei's performance is impeccable, the story of the movie
The lines and backgrounds are perfect, and the main thing is that the film is hilarious and inspirational at the same time.
Countless workers who are frustrated at work, countless students who feel powerless in their studies, and countless audiences have found the meaning of hard work and perseverance in the movie Crossing Players, and the audience has determined the direction of progress.
Shen Mengfei said in the movie (When you can't dream, then why don't you make a dream?) ), which has become a popular quote on the Internet.
This sentence gives the audience a lot of energy.
Within 24 hours of the video's release, the total number of video views across all live streaming platforms and video software combined exceeded 6 billion.
A week later, the total number of views reached 50 billion.
What is the concept of 50 billion times, the world's 8 billion people, the average number of clicks and plays per person is 6.25 times.
A month later, the movie had been viewed 162,386.25 million times worldwide.
Two months later, on January 1, 2026, the movie has been viewed 200,112.74 million times worldwide.
Although there is no box office revenue, Mengwan Entertainment has received nearly 10 billion Huaxia coins just by relying on traffic sharing.
Seeing this share of income, Shen Mengfei exclaimed: It's too exaggerated.
He didn't expect to get so much money at all, and he thought it would be good to get one or two hundred million at first.
Ding dong.
"Congratulations to the host quest: Make the world laugh for me once. The completion progress reaches 99.26%, and the main quest is about to be completed, please make persistent efforts to complete the main quest as soon as possible. Come on, host." The Good Luck system reminded.
"How much? 99.26%? Good luck elf, I heard you right, right? Are you sure it's 99.26%?" Shen Mengfei suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked the Good Luck Elf.
"Yes, master, you've reached 99.26% of your progress in completing the main quest, you heard it right." Good luck elf said.
Oh! Great, the goal is going to be completed soon, I'm too smart. This trick is too great to release for free. Shen Mengfei shouted excitedly in his office.
At this time, Ye Wange and a small circle in the next office vaguely heard Shen Mengfei's excited shouts, and the passing staff also heard Shen Mengfei's shouts.
Of course, they didn't know the specific situation, they thought that Shen Mengfei's cheers were because of the movie's traffic sharing.
...
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and after someone learned from the grapevine that Mengwan Entertainment was divided, his eyes were so red.
They thought of a bad move, an explosive move that could make Shen Mengfei and Mengwan Entertainment's reputation stink.
At this time, Shen Mengfei didn't know that a news targeting him and Mengwan Entertainment on the Internet was spreading rapidly.
A storm is coming.
