Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"Yes, what I mean is, I can guarantee these things with my own integrity. I say yes, you know, we Celestial Dragons have extremely noble character. We are the noblest race in the world and we never exploit anyone."

David said.

In fact, Xia Yuan really took his habit of smuggling in his own agenda to the extreme this time.

Although the original version also contained a lot of personal opinions, and although it made a lot of satire on the Celestial Dragons, there was still a problem: it wasn't very obvious.

The world has changed.

Filming continues, conversations continue, and now it's time to introduce the theme of the film.

As the title suggests, "Desperate Treasure Hunt" naturally revolves around a game played by a group of wealthy Celestial Dragons.
"And today, you will have the opportunity to play a game, which will be a one-in-six chance."

At this point, the hotel owner emphasized, "One-sixth!"

Having said that, he threw a die.

As the dice rolled on the table, he said, "It's like rolling dice."

"Hahahahahaha!"

James Carey gave a good-natured smile.

At this moment, another actor appears in the conference room, wearing a suit and holding a document bag.

"Come on, let me introduce you, everyone. This is my lawyer, Chrysomor."

It's another name that's very characteristic of Celestial Dragons.

The owner explained, "But he doesn't like to smile because he was born with a poker face. Chrisso insists that anyone participating in our games must sign a statement."

As they talked, thick agreements, almost as big as a book, were placed in front of everyone present, along with a box of inkpads.

"This hotel will not bear any responsibility or obligation to compensate, etc."

Meanwhile, Xia Yuan was also monitoring the filming locations through another director's monitor.

This shot is a complex two-scene shot, which will be filmed simultaneously on two sets to achieve the effect of different scenes and plots unfolding at the same time and having a connection.

The original version presented this scene via live television broadcast, with a group of capitalists watching the scene from another room, which then revealed that the game was actually just a gamble between wealthy capitalists from the very beginning.

However, Xia Yuan changed this part.

In his view, the original version's presentation was not direct enough, or to put it bluntly, it lacked sophistication and failed to convey the sense of control that wealthy capitalists had over everyone, treating them like toys and domesticated livestock.

He opted to change it to using one-way glass to separate the two spaces.

On the other side, in the conference room, were game participants eating very ordinary food, or even food with technological and grueling elements, representing the general public.

On the other side, separated by glass, lies a completely different scene.

Although it's the same hotel, under the same roof, they are worlds apart.

The people here drink top-quality wines worth millions of dollars a bottle, eat the most luxurious food, and use only the finest ingredients. Even the water is air-freighted directly from Fiji, and the spring water is kept alive throughout the entire process, from spring water to crystal glasses, taking no more than three hours.

The cost of a cup of water is beyond the imagination and accessibility of ordinary people.

Each of them was accompanied by a beautiful woman on a dog leash. These women were scantily clad and crawled on the ground like dogs, their faces, even their eyes and noses, covered by hoods.

And all of this was separated by just a pane of glass.

A pane of glass separates two worlds; from here, you can clearly see the other side, their every move, and even control them.

On the other side, however, they can never see or touch the world behind the glass. And they will go mad and fight to the death for even the smallest scraps of flesh that these people casually throw away, or even the thick phlegm that smells slightly of celestial oil.

In fact, when Xia Yuan decided to film it this way, some of Chu Zhongtian's friends, such as Zhou Yisen and Liu Guang from the five-person group of the club, had tried to dissuade him, suggesting that he should just give up.

It's not for any other reason than that it's too explicit.

If you're just making it up, then so be it.

But what Xia Yuan is showing us now is exactly how things really work behind the scenes in the Heavenly Palace; it's the truth.

They were also afraid that Xia Yuan's actions would inevitably arouse the suspicion of some people.

However, Xia Yuan did not back down.

To put it bluntly, he himself has now earned his place in the Heavenly Palace through his own efforts, and the people of the Heavenly Palace now recognize him as one of them.

He has seen many things.

However, he did not feel that he should go along with the corrupt practices, firstly because it was incompatible with his values ​​and way of doing things.

In addition, he was indeed not afraid.

His decision was to film, and to film even more boldly and recklessly.

Meanwhile, in the separate film set, a group of actors wearing melon-shaped hats and long robes or suits were chatting and laughing.

"So, who do you think has the best chance, Clark?"

"A young woman dressed in black, she looked very strong."

"Yes, but she also brought her mother with her, which will affect her speed and efficiency."

"Maybe, anyway, I think I'd be willing to take a gamble on her."

"Yes, how much are you planning to play?"

"Two fresh female slaves from Ballerstein."

"Wow, you're so funny."

The two film sets resembled a control group.

The experiment is being conducted in batches, which aligns well with the core technique of modern literary and artistic works: contrast.

By using contrast to create an extreme sense of collision and a dramatic difference in plot, the storyline often becomes more captivating.

In fact, anyone who studies enough works of art will easily discover that no work of art can escape the theme of contrast.

In novels, the protagonist, who has failed, suddenly gains a cheat-like ability to defy fate, show off, and slap others in the face.

A normal dance video won't go viral; you need to wear Old Deng's clothes to create a contrast and become popular.

The current shooting scene also uses the same technique, highlighting the contrast between the two groups of people through two contrasting sets of filming locations.

On one side are the rule-makers, and on the other side are the toys being cruelly manipulated by those rules.

To put it bluntly, they are just scraps in this society. It doesn't affect the operation of society if they come to us more often.

Main set, at the same time.

"Alright, there's a small city in New Mexico, 563 miles from here, called BY. That's your target; your chance to become rich overnight is hidden there." (End of Chapter)
