Chapter 23 New Movie: Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen!
"I do not know……"

"I don't know what I've been busy with these past two days..."

"I built many model houses out of clay..."

"I built a small moat..."

"I used some beverages to impersonate blood plasma..."

"..."

"No matter what props I make, President Zhou always praises me..."

He said, "That's amazing!"

He said, "Well done! You're the world's number one prop master!"

"He always finds ways to praise me..."

"I even suspect that he would say my poop was good even if I just took a dump!"

"..."

"..."

7 month 3 day.

The first day of filming for the movie "Love Ferris Wheel"...

An Xiaoshi sat in front of the camera, blankly for the entire day.

In this movie, she seemed to be a complete outsider.

Directing the scene was done by Zheng Yichen, while the plot development and the production schedule were controlled by dedicated personnel...

She couldn't help but offer some suggestions for the plot, but they were quickly and completely rejected.

Watching the first scene, where the female lead crashes into the CEO's luxury car, An Xiaoshi simply couldn't connect the image of the domineering CEO in her mind with the greasy, pretentious actor "Chen Liang".

The sense of incongruity was just too strong!
Moreover, when filming the first scene, for some reason, she felt that the movie was doomed.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

After filming the first scene, she returned to the crew office alone.

She called the prop master of "Monkey King vs. Superman 2" to inquire about the film's production progress.

Then she keenly realized that the prop master Liu Fang's mental state seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

"All of them were done in one take? Didn't President Zhou and Director Shen find any problems?"

"No! They were all done in one go..."

"How far along is this movie in terms of production?"

"We've already filmed one-third of the way through. Right now, we're working with some mechanics from [Siling Auto Repair Shop] on the makeup and costumes for the final big boss, the mechanical monster..."

"What! They've already filmed a third of it?"

"It's only been four days of filming, right?"

Even though An Xiaoshi was very knowledgeable, her pupils still contracted when she heard those words!
"Yes, the film was originally planned for 15 days, but it seems Mr. Zhou wants to finish shooting all the footage in 10 days... Right now, they're shooting some random footage during the day and editing it at night. I just overheard Mr. Zhou's plan; it seems the film is scheduled for release on July 11th..."

"???"

When An Xiaoshi heard these words, she didn't know how to describe her emotions at that moment.

September 7th?
Did she hear it correctly?
She checked the date!

It's already July 3rd, so there are only 8 days left until the release date is set?
and many more!

Don't their movies need to be reviewed?
Even if they took the fast-track approval route, but...

If a movie like this is released, will any audience members actually go to see it?

this moment!
An Xiaoshi was stunned! An even more uneasy thought welled up in her mind.

She had originally intended to introduce the distribution company for the film, but now it seems...

Did she just give up?
Wait a minute, they're filming this fast, isn't this going to be a complete disaster?!

..............................

"Hello? Is this Mr. Xu from [Star River Cinema]? This is Zhou Yang. Do you remember when we talked about investing in [Star River Cinema] before?"

"Yes, but I'm still considering the investment. However, I have a movie scheduled for release on July 11th... If you don't have any movies showing in theaters during that time, I can grant you the rights..."

"Yes, we'll license it to you for free... and we'll share the box office revenue with you!"

"That's right, according to the usual commodity market rates, we'll split the profits 50/50..."

"It's an Eastern fantasy and science fiction film... The investment isn't that big, only around three million!"

"Yes……"

"..."

7 month 5 day.

Who would have thought...

In just about eight days, half of the movie's plot has already been filmed?

At this very moment, Shen Long, who was in front of his computer editing footage until his scalp was tingling, had stopped thinking about the filming schedule of the movie.

He felt that these past few days had been the darkest period of his life, the most difficult chapter in his acting career!
A 1-minute action...

At Mr. Zhou's request, it was cut down to 5 minutes, and then to 7 minutes.

The plot of the movie has completely become geared towards a younger audience...

The actors' acting skills were completely undetectable; on camera, their movements were so exaggerated and overly stylish that they seemed to prioritize looking cool above all else. The dialogue was absolutely cringeworthy…

After filming, Chen Jianfeng approached Shen Long and said in the most desperate tone, "I think after this movie is finished, I suspect I'll have to go see my great-grandmother!"

Shen Long barely managed to keep his emotions in check in the face of Chen Jianfeng's response.

After finishing filming each day, photographer Zhang Yunyi would squat alone in the bathroom and smoke until midnight...

The only one who was somewhat normal was prop master Chen Fang...

Chen Fang was praised by President Zhou every day. Whenever Chen Fang took out any props, President Zhou would praise them highly and then use them in the movie as quickly as possible.

Terrible movie...

This is no longer enough to describe this movie.

It’s just...

It's so rotten it's outrageous!

After watching the half-finished episode, Shen Long felt dizzy and disoriented...

It seems he's going to see his great-grandmother soon.

And what about President Zhou?

In a rental house.

Shen Long watched as President Zhou kept making calls to various movie theaters.

These days, Mr. Zhou has been contacting cinemas in various places...

Shen Long had specifically investigated these cinemas and found that they were all either on the verge of bankruptcy or poorly managed.

Another similarity is that these cinemas are all located near schools...

……

In a rental house.

After Zhou Yang finished making the call, he looked at Shen Long, whose face was deathly pale.

"Mr. Zhou, do you think this cut is okay?"

Zhou Yang lowered his head, looking at the stunning images Shen Long had edited, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! However, I feel it's still missing a little something..."

"What does it feel like?"

"How about we add some special effects?"

"Special effects?"

"Yes, by the way, Director Shen, you should know how to do computer effects, right?"

"..."

Shen Long was shocked when he heard this. He pointed to himself and took a deep breath: "Me, doing special effects?"

"Yes!"

"I don't know how..."

"If you don't know how, you can learn..."

"Wait, I, I... how am I supposed to learn?"

"Don't be afraid! Show me some special effects... like this laser, we'll all..." Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then made a gesture of Ultraman firing a laser.

"I don't know how to do special effects..." Shen Long was shocked when he saw this scene!
"Then how about using filming techniques to fill in these gaps? For example, lens lighting or something..."

"I……"

"Why don't you talk to photographer Zhang about it? You're both so talented. Anyway, I want that effect, you understand? You can do it!"

"???"

“TVB was so poor back then, but they still found ways to solve problems. Our production crew, right? We had ways too!”

"???"

"I think with your talent, the special effects you produce won't be much worse than those 'Superman 2' movies, right?"

"..."

Looking at Zhou Yang's serious face, Shen Long was completely stunned!

Not much worse than Superman 2?

us?

or……

Mr. Zhou!
Look at the kind of things you're saying!

Is this still human language?

How the hell do you expect a salary of 100 yuan to produce the effect of 1000 million?

"By the way, after this movie was finished, I applied for another film project for us..."

"What project?"

"The Eastern martial arts film 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen'!"

"..."

"Fuck!"

The moment Zhou Yang blurted it out, Shen Long was shocked!
