Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 179 Confirms Release Date
In the laboratory of Rubik's Cube Technology, Li Boda and a group of people are researching and making mobile phones.

Actually, making a mobile phone is quite simple if you don't have any particular ambitions.

Go buy a ready-made motherboard, a ready-made CPU, a ready-made battery, etc., then make a few minor adjustments and assemble it directly.

However, since Li Boda already possessed a large amount of future technology, he didn't want to buy those ready-made things, but instead made them himself.

The CPU architecture, motherboard settings, and so on all need to be carefully studied and planned.

If Li Boda did it all by himself, it would be much faster. However, Li Boda didn't want to shoulder all the work alone, so he spent more time cultivating the thinking of his subordinates and providing them with ideas.

The people recruited by Li Boda initially didn't think much of him. After all, in their eyes, even though Li Boda was the boss of 'Magic Cube Technology' and even though he claimed that the Silly Girl mobile phone system was created by him, they simply didn't believe it.

After all, Li Boda is just a celebrity. Celebrities are good at acting, but what about high-tech gadgets? That's a joke.

However, once they were recruited and arrived at the laboratory, they were all completely won over by Li Boda, looking at him with nothing but admiration.

Li Boda didn't put all his energy into the laboratory. Besides teaching these people, improving their abilities, providing them with ideas, and occasionally helping them solve problems, Li Boda also frequently went to the editing room.

After all, Li Boda had high expectations for the movie "One Cut of the Dead".

Although Li Boda knew nothing about editing, he still paid close attention to it frequently.

In order to improve the speed and quality of editing, Li Boda even promised to give them a big red envelope if they could edit fast enough while ensuring quality.

Then these editors, one by one, were like they were on steroids, eager to stay awake, just to finish editing the show as quickly as possible.

The reason the editing room was so excited was not only because of the red envelopes promised by Li Boda, but also because Li Boda had used some underhanded tactics, just like what he had done to director Ye Weimin before.

This allows the editors to focus, so that even afterwards, the editors will at most feel that they worked hard for the red envelopes, rather than that someone used any underhanded means.

And so, a month later, the editor, with tears in his eyes, finished editing the scene from "Don't Stop the Camera!"

Li Boda, Sister Wang, and even director Ye Weimin all watched the finished film. After watching the edited version, Ye Weimin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, thinking that the editors had done a fantastic job!
Not only is the editing speed fast, but the quality is also so high!

After receiving their red envelopes, the editors went home and slept for three days and three nights straight.

The film has been edited into a final cut, and Li Boda, Zhao Liying, Jiang Wenli, Li Xiaoran, and others have reunited.

They've come to do the voiceover for the movie.

Although sound recording is done on location during filming, there are inevitably some places where the sound recording is not good, or other factors that result in poor sound quality, so some parts need to be dubbed again.

There wasn't actually much voice-over work, since the sound recording on location was already quite good in many places. Only a portion of the work required voice-over.

The dubbing work took about a week from start to finish.

After the voice-over was completed, post-production work such as adding background music was carried out.

Although Li Boda didn't understand much about these post-production tasks, he still devoted some of his energy to overseeing them. He treated the voice actors and others the same as the director Ye Weimin and his team, using a few tricks to motivate them to do their best in the film's post-production work.

Once all the post-production work is completed.

Li Boda, Sister Wang, director Ye Weimin, and others watched the finished film of "One Cut of the Dead!" Li Boda was relatively calm, but the others stared wide-eyed, as if they hadn't expected their film to be of such high quality.

Whether it's the picture quality, the actors' performances, the plot transitions, the smoothness of the editing, the background music, or almost everything else, it's all just right.

Putting aside the quality of the story itself, the visual quality, the smoothness of the editing, the quality of the soundtrack, and other aspects directly elevate the quality of this film to a whole new level.

If a movie is rated out of 10, the plot twists and other aspects of this film might earn it 6 to 7 points. The remaining factors, such as the quality of the visuals, the smoothness of the editing, and the coordination of the soundtrack, are enough to elevate the film's quality to 9 points!
Therefore, even the director of this film, Yeh Wei-min, was excited and even felt incredulous after seeing the final cut. He seemed unable to believe that this film, which scored as high as nine points, was actually made by him.

Ye Weimin was overjoyed and held Li Boda's hand, repeatedly saying that they must continue to cooperate in the future.

After the film was completed, Li Boda submitted it to the State Film Administration for final review.

When a film project is first approved, the script must be submitted to the State Film Administration for review. After the script is approved, the finished film must also be submitted for review.

Because the script had already been reviewed once when the project was initially approved, the State Film Administration didn't deliberately make things difficult for the film "One Cut of the Dead" during its final review. They simply pointed out some flaws and offered suggestions for revision. Although Li Boda thought this was pointless, unnecessary, or nitpicking, that's how that department works. No matter how clean your film is, they'll find something to criticize and make you change it during the review process. Otherwise, they'd seem incompetent.

So, after Li Boda made some adjustments to the film, it passed the review!

The movie "Don't Stop the Camera!" has received its film license and can be released!
However, the movie's release date also needs to be carefully chosen.

Before confirming the release date, Sister Wang inquired about the release dates of movies like "If You Are the One." She discovered that the release dates for movies such as "If You Are the One," "Forever Enthralled," and "Red Cliff Part II" were all scheduled for December.

While the December slot is indeed very competitive, the competition is fierce.

Therefore, Sister Wang's advice is to avoid December.

“Then let’s release it in November.” Li Boda clapped his hands and made the decision.

"November? Isn't that a bit too rushed? It's already October. If it's released in November, won't the promotional period be too short? Besides, there's another Harry Potter movie coming out in November," Sister Wang said, a little worried.

"Actually, we can just stagger the dates. As for the publicity, you don't need to worry. Many people's phones are using the 'Silly Girl System' now. When I get back, I'll write some code to send an ad to all these phones. As long as the phone is using the 'Silly Girl System,' users will see the promotion for the movie 'One Cut of the Dead!'" Li Boda waved his hand and said.

"..." Sister Wang was stunned. She never expected that movie promotion could be done like this.

Although Sister Wang didn't know the exact number, she did know a little that at least a third of mobile phone users in China were using the SNAP mobile operating system. Li Boda's actions would definitely make a huge number of people aware that the movie "One Cut of the Dead" was about to be released.

Thinking about the potential promotional effect, Sister Wang was overjoyed, but then she became a little worried: "Boss, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this? After all, mobile phone users—"

"Don't worry, it'll only happen once. As long as we don't use this trick again, there won't be any problems," Li Boda said, waving his hand.

In fact, Li Boda had also considered the impact, since no one likes having ads pushed to their phone.

However, regarding the movie promotion, this movie is very important to Li Boda, and Li Boda only plans to use this method once and will not use it again in the future, so it should not have much impact.

After all, the mobile phone market is currently experiencing rapid, unregulated growth, with all sorts of phones and problems emerging one after another. If such an advertisement suddenly pops up, mobile phone users might think that their phones are malfunctioning.

If this method is no longer used in the future, fewer people will consider mobile phone operating systems.

Seeing Li Boda's firm attitude, Sister Wang stopped talking about it.

Furthermore, she was quite looking forward to sending advertisements through the mobile phone system. Who knows, Li Boda might actually be able to boost the box office of the movie "One Cut of the Dead" by using this method to cheat.

I checked the release dates of various movies.

Finally, Li Boda and Sister Wang decided to release the movie "One Cut of the Dead" on December 1st.

This way, you can avoid the release of "Harry Potter" on November 15th, and also avoid the release of "Mei Lanfang" on December 7th.

In fact, Li Boda wasn't very wary of the film "Mei Lanfang" because it was a biographical film, which is generally difficult to achieve high box office returns, even if the director was Chen Kaige.

As for movies like "If You Are the One" and "Red Cliff," their release dates were even later; one was in mid-December, and the other wasn't until 09.

It doesn't compete with the movie "One Cut of the Dead" at all.

And so, the release date for the movie "One Cut of the Dead" was set.

After learning the film's release date, Zhao Liying, Jiang Wenli, and the others were filled with anticipation and nervousness, especially Zhao Liying.

This was her first time playing the lead role in a movie, and she was even more excited and thrilled than Li Boda. To this end, Zhao Liying even asked the "Meteor Shower" crew for three days off and had a good time with Li Boda. In the end, she forced herself to return to the crew to film.

During these three days, Zhao Liying even took the initiative to ask Li Boda for the first time whether she should invite Jiang Wenli and Li Xiaoran to come over and play mahjong.

This made Li Boda burst into laughter.

Initially resistant, then passively accepted, and now actively bringing it up.

Zhao Liying's change prompted Li Boda to tease her quite a bit.
