Film/TV: Starting with AlphaGo
Chapter 1: This is the treatment a Child of Destiny deserves
"Hiss~~~"
Qin Hao rubbed his throbbing temples and opened his eyes in a daze, only to find himself in an extremely unfamiliar room.
"What's going on? I remember going to sleep at home last night. Where is this?"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for awakening the Film and Television Heavens System.]
Before Qin Hao could react, a panel appeared in his mind.
[Host: Qin Hao World: Ode to Joy Film and Television World Identity: Qiu Yan (Qiu Yingying's older brother) Strength: 8 Physique: 9 Skills: None Luck Value: 0.]
Qin Hao was dumbfounded. Does this mean he transmigrated? And into the world of a TV drama, no less?
He had watched *Ode to Joy*, but that was many years ago. How did he end up in this world for no reason?
"Cough, cough, um, can I go back?"
[System: Yes. Once the host completes tasks to earn Luck Value, you can return to the main world by consuming ten points of Luck Value. You may also choose to transmigrate directly to the next film and television world.]
"What kind of tasks are there?"
[Task List Fan Shengmei's Wish: Help Fan Shengmei completely break free from the troubles of her original family. Reward: 4 Luck Value. Qiu Yingying's Wish: Qiu Yingying requests the punishment of the "scumbag" Bai. Reward: Random Luck Value. Ying Qin's Wish: Hopes to have a flawless romance. Reward: 3 Luck Value. Dr. Zhao's Wish: Elder Tang is dedicated to saving the suffering; he does not want to be entangled by "fairies" (temptresses). Reward: 4 Luck Value.]
Well, it seems he can't go back for now. Qin Hao gradually calmed down.
"What happens if I never complete the tasks?"
[System: The host will be unable to return to the main world and will die along with the demise of this world's consciousness.]
Good grief, there's a life-threatening risk too.
Qin Hao couldn't help but complain: "What kind of crappy system is this? No benefits at all? Am I just here to work for free?"
[System: Any knowledge, skills, or attributes the host learns in any film and television world can be perfectly inherited.]
Qin Hao's eyes lit up: "Then what about the money I earn?"
[System: Any act of manufacturing or selling counterfeit currency is illegal. Law-abiding behavior starts with the system!]
Giving the system a massive eye-roll, Qin Hao asked, not giving up.
"There should at least be a newbie gift pack, right?"
[System: Newbie gift pack detected. Open it?]
"Open."
[System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining: AlphaGo Brain!]
[AlphaGo Brain: A first-generation artificial intelligence that once defeated world Go champions Lee Sedol and Ke Jie. After merging, the host will gain powerful computational ability and memory.]
Qin Hao was satisfied. This is the treatment a child of destiny should have.
"Merge."
"Ah~~~"
With a scream, before losing consciousness, Qin Hao felt like he had been scammed again.
When Qin Hao woke up again, it was already dark. He licked his dry lips and picked up a half-empty bottle of mineral water from the floor of the rental room, finishing it in one gulp.
While merging with the AlphaGo brain, the system had also conveniently poured the original owner's memories into his mind.
As Qiu Yingying's older brother, Qiu Yan was born in a small county. His mother was an ordinary worker, and his father worked in a repair shop. Qiu Yan had average grades growing up. After finishing high school, considering the heavy burden on his family, he gave up the chance to attend a third-tier university and joined the ranks of those drifting in Beijing. However, without a diploma, he hit walls everywhere in society. Because he wasn't doing well, he rarely contacted his family, only occasionally sending money home to subsidize his younger sister Qiu Yingying's college living expenses.
Qin Hao checked the original owner's WeChat, Alipay, and bank cards. There was only a little over 1,200 yuan left, and rent was due next month.
"I need to find a way to make money fast!"
The tasks set by the system required a certain economic foundation and social resources. According to the original owner's memory, Qiu Yingying would graduate in two months, and the storyline of *Ode to Joy* would unfold in a year.
He didn't have much time to accumulate, so he had to find a way to get rich quickly.
Qin Hao didn't rush to make a decision; instead, he started to summarize, which was a habit he had always maintained.
So, what was his greatest advantage now?
The AlphaGo brain.
But he couldn't make money just by relying on computational power. He couldn't exactly challenge a world Go champion, could he? Why would they play against a nobody?
Combining these points, Qin Hao locked his focus on self-media.
The background of *Ode to Joy* is 2015, which was precisely the time when self-media was easiest to succeed in.
Qin Hao started surfing the internet, analyzing Weibo trending topics and popular posts on various forums, extracting keywords.
With the powerful computational ability of AlphaGo, Qin Hao quickly obtained a lot of useful information. By combining key data, it wasn't hard to figure out what kind of content audiences liked to watch at the time.
Of course, due to limited conditions, there were many self-media genres Qin Hao couldn't do, such as food, travel, or talent showcases.
Ultimately, Qin Hao chose two directions for his self-media.
One was film and television editing. The reason for choosing this was that it was relatively easy to operate; all that was needed was a computer. Secondly, 2015 was a period of explosive growth for the film and television industry. Various film companies and long-form video platforms were flush with cash and willing to spend. By taking on some sponsored advertisements, he could easily monetize.
The other was e-commerce promotion. 2015 was also a key node where the internet era met the mobile internet era. As traditional e-commerce shifted to mobile, it required a massive amount of traffic.
With the blessing of the AlphaGo brain, Qin Hao quickly learned video editing software.
Subsequently, he began downloading the American TV series *Prison Break* from the internet. The reason for choosing this series, which launched in '05, was that it was famous enough to have a solid fan base, and at the time, most American dramas hadn't been officially introduced, so only a small portion of the audience had actually seen the original.
Plus, *Prison Break* had many episodes, and with issues like the later seasons declining in quality, many viewers had forgotten about it after ten years, creating market demand.
To download resources as quickly as possible, Qin Hao even signed up for a Xunlei membership.
Sigh, his already meager savings were dealt another blow.
After waiting for two hours, the first season of *Prison Break* finally finished downloading. Qin Hao began to watch and organize his script, recording some key points.
It wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning, when he couldn't stay awake any longer, that he collapsed onto the bed to sleep.
The next day, around twelve noon, Qin Hao woke up and found he didn't feel very tired. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted; the AlphaGo brain had such a benefit.
After a simple wash, Qin Hao went out for a fast-food meal and bought a microphone to connect to his computer. Upon returning, he began recording in earnest.
Qin Hao's voice wasn't particularly unique, but there was voice-changing software, so he didn't hesitate to choose the voice of a gentle young woman.
By evening, Qin Hao had finally finished recording the commentary for *Prison Break Season 1*. In 2015, Douyin hadn't come out yet; the main platforms were Kuaishou, Meipai, Miaopai, Xiaoying, and Weishi.
At the same time, Qin Hao didn't give up on long-form video platforms. He uploaded to Youku, iQIYI, and Tencent Video, and even registered an official account. Cast a wide net, right? In the early stages, you have to build your reputation. Just like many influencers who brag about having millions of followers across the web, in reality, they only have about a million on one platform—it's mainly to make it easier to raise their rates.
After doing all this, Qin Hao started searching for various product discount information, then used AlphaGo's powerful computational ability to calculate the best prices and purchasing methods on various e-commerce platforms, turned them into videos, and established QQ groups and WeChat groups to drive traffic.
"Two months should be enough."
Qin Hao looked out the window; the sky was already beginning to brighten.
Regarding the naming issue, it is mainly to avoid confusion. Therefore, the narration in the text will always use the protagonist's name: Qin Hao.
The characters in the text will refer to the protagonist by the original owner's name in this world: Qiu Yan.
