My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 241 - 215: The General and the Heroine_2
"3, 2, 1... Aikeshen!"
Li Peifeng strummed the strings, quickly going through the intro, and started in a deep voice: "When the moon of Qin shines on the Han frontier~ The long journey goes on, and the people have not returned~ If only the flying general were at Dragon City~ He would never let the Hu's horses cross the Yin Mountains..."
The video script was simple. Li Peifeng sang "The Bridge of Fate" here, while Wu Wenyue wielded a treasure sword there, doing some sword tricks and moves, collecting enough material to edit into a thirty-second video and taking a dozen beautiful photos to complete it.
Wu Wenyue's father, Wu Ankang, deputy director of Ningyuan City's sports bureau, was a martial arts athlete on the Liaozhou Team in his youth. He never won top three at the national championships but did earn a national top ten medal.
Therefore, Wu Ankang was skilled in Changquan, Paquan, Hongquan, and various weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds. Wu Wenyue learned diligently from her father when she was six or seven. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Li Peifeng heard from Wu Wenyue herself that her father initially wanted to train her to become a martial arts athlete, hoping she could make a name for herself; if not, she could at least use this specialty to gain extra points in the college entrance exam.
However, when Wu Wenyue hit puberty, her height shot up to 178cm and didn't stop. Wu Ankang wisely gave up on this idea because martial arts routines, similar to gymnastics, require various high-difficulty moves, and excessive height makes it difficult to perform leaps and jumps, appearing uncoordinated and unattractive compared to shorter athletes.
But Wu Ankang did not give up on the sports path after stopping her martial arts practice. Instead, he explored her other talents and eventually found pole vaulting, a sport that doesn't limit height. Even if Wu Wenyue reached 185cm, her height and long legs became an advantage.
Indeed, after two years of training, Wu Wenyue achieved good results and received a first-class athlete certification.
Her early martial arts training also gave Wu Wenyue quite a foundation of "fancy fists and embroidered legs," making her sword dance during filming appear very authentic.
The group filmed for less than an hour, and this video was successfully completed.
"You and I shed our battle robes~ Dreaming of the Great Wall ballad..."
"Cut!"
"Perfect, that's enough for editing!"
"Actors, change clothes for the next shot."
"Phew~ It's so damn... heavy, hurry up and help me get it off!"
Wu Wenyue exhaled deeply, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and quickly walked toward the arrow tower, with Mu An'an and another girl following to help her change clothes.
The second video was also a collaboration, with Li Peifeng still singing and playing guitar, not even needing to change clothes, just switching songs. But Wu Wenyue would change into a black wanderer outfit, holding different weapons like swords and knives, performing martial arts moves either inside or outside the Great Wall on a mountain peak.
The third video didn't involve Li Peifeng; it featured Wu Wenyue solo. She needed to wear two outfits from [True Self] and her own casual clothes, mimicking martial arts moves of the three protagonists in the old animation "Chinese Heroes" with different starting poses for each outfit.
The difficulty of these two videos was much simpler than the [Female General] short video. Wu Wenyue found it easier; at least she didn't have to wear that 23kg armor. The entire suit wasn't just tiring but troublesome to put on, taking up at least over twenty minutes.
At noon, the group ate some bread, milk, and other snacks they had brought, and after a short break, they continued working. By three o'clock in the afternoon, all filming tasks were completed, and they collectively headed home—but first, they had to... descend the Great Wall!!
"I'll hold you."
"Mm."
After this round of turmoil, main character Wu Wenyue appeared slightly exhausted. She was fine under normal circumstances, but her back was injured, and she hadn't rested well after last night's row with Xu Manning.
So, she looked pale, holding the railing with one hand and Li Peifeng's arm with the other, slowly walking down.
Mu An'an followed from behind, feeling intensely jealous in her heart.
Who in North China Teachers University doesn't know the reputation of the most affectionate? How could she be in such close contact with her crush?
Let go of your paws! Not worthy!
But Mu An'an could only grind her teeth in impotent rage, finally pretending to be puzzled and asking, "Brother Feng, I heard Sister Yue say earlier that we'll be operating your account too in the future, right? Does that mean you two will be collaborating often?"
Li Peifeng didn't even turn his head: "That's right, but this video account's purpose is not to take ads or livestream for profit, but to attract traffic to my book. So when we eat later, we'll have to discuss my account's positioning and direction properly at the table. It should combine my identity as an online writer to maximize traffic for my work."
Li Peifeng had tasted the benefits of web novels + short videos and planned to market himself well. Because of that collaboration video, his 'Li Dafeng' TikTok account's followers skyrocketed from twenty-five thousand to two hundred thirty-six thousand. Last month brought him an extra eighteen thousand yuan in manuscript fees, and it'll be even more next month... Li Peifeng conservatively estimates this wave of traffic will bring him at least fifty thousand yuan in extra manuscript fees!
This is real money, and bear in mind, Li Dafeng's account hadn't been updated for over half a year, except for a few self-uploaded videos by Li Peifeng. He hadn't specifically posted anything on TikTok.
Which means the twenty thousand followers increase and fifty thousand yuan manuscript fees came just from the collaboration video with Wu Wenyue. Is the commercial value of the pen name 'One Ounce Wind' also significantly increased?
