I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 25: A Outrageous Promotional Poster! (Second Update!)
night.

It's too deep.

In a rental house.

Shen Long smoked one cigarette after another.

In the blink of an eye, I've already smoked almost two packs of cigarettes.

but……

But his eyes were fixed on the copy of "Monkey King vs. Superman 2", his gaze bloodshot.

Ten days, this movie...

Oh shit!

Let's just call it a movie for now!

Strictly speaking, that's nearly 50 minutes of video footage; it's going to be expanded to an hour and a half...

How outrageous are these materials?

The filming was a complete mess, it was so bad it gave me goosebumps!
You're talking about the lead actor's acting skills?

joke!

We should be thankful that the plot was edited to be at least somewhat coherent!
The key is to extend it to an hour and a half...

The playback repeatedly shows various actions, and also inserts various close-up slow-motion shots, in addition to that...

The key is!
The movie will be released on the 11th!

Give them three days!

What should I do in three days?
The editing needs to be done well, the special effects need to be improved, and all sorts of post-production dubbing corrections and subtitle reorganizations need to be done...

"Oh shit!"

"I can't do it, Mr. Zhou, I can't do it!"

"..."

In a rental house.

Shen Long completely lost his composure!
Well! He's had countless mental breakdowns since making this movie.

At that moment, he kept grabbing his messy hair, and finally made a phone call to Zhou Yang, almost bursting into tears.

"Director Shen, I believe in your talent. On the road to pursuing your dreams, you will inevitably encounter some setbacks and twists and turns, but gold will always shine!"

“Mr. Zhou! I used to think I had talent, but ever since I made a movie with you, I'm not even worthy of being called gold. I'm just a rock in a latrine. I feel like I want to switch careers and go back to farming…”

"Director Shen, you need to be confident! Okay, I'll give you a big bonus after the premiere of this movie. I'll hang up now, I'm discussing business here!"

"..."

Zhou Yang hung up the phone.

Shen Long stared blankly at the phone, then blankly at the mess of materials scattered all over the computer screen...

The more he looked, the more he felt that his life was probably over!
Just then, my phone rang. It was photographer Zhang Yunyi calling...

"Director Shen, I can't do it, I can't do special effects..."

"Director Shen, I suddenly feel like I have absolutely no talent, I'm just a pile of shit..."

"Aaaaaah, Director Shen, a job that pays 100 yuan is asking me to create 10000 yuan worth of footage? How am I supposed to do that? I feel like I'm going bald... Director Shen, you know what? I feel like I'm going a little crazy..."

"..."

The familiar sound of collapse echoed in Shen Long's ears.

For some reason, Shen Long blurted out Zhou Yang's comforting words, "Gold always shines..."

"I'm just a pile of dog shit, I'm not gold at all! You're overestimating me! Aaaaaah!"

"..."

On the other end of the phone.

Photographer Zhang Yunyi's mental state seemed to be starting to deteriorate.

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

night.

It got deeper and deeper.

[Feihe Cinema]

Instead of carrying his guitar and begging under the overpass as usual, the wandering singer Shen Hu followed Zhou Yang to the office of Feihe Cinema.

There was nothing he could do; Zhou Yang had already requisitioned the loudspeaker he used for begging. Without the loudspeaker, the wind howled across the overpass, and nobody knew what he was listening to.

"The movie is released on the 11th? Where are the sample copies?"

"Cut it now..."

"Finished in three days?"

"Yes, all done!"

"So, Mr. Zhou, what brings you here today...?"

"I'm here to plan the promotion. I hope that over these three days, Feihe Cinema can cooperate with the film to do some promotion!" "Promotion?"

In the office of [Feihe Cinema].

Zhang Muxue looked at Zhou Yang, and at this moment, she was somewhat dazed.

I don’t know if it’s her imagination...

It seems like Zhou Yang's movie has just started filming?
It's only been a short time since filming started, and it's already wrapped up?

"Yes, propaganda. I brought a cassette tape. Please listen to it..."

"Ok?"

Zhang Muxue watched as Zhou Yang silently handed her a cassette tape. After hesitating for a moment, she finally put it into the tape recorder.

A moment later...

"Good news, good news! Filming's wrapped! Filming's wrapped! Our movie's wrapped!"

"Great news! Great news! Starting tomorrow, buy your movie tickets at [Feihe Cinema]! Half price! Half price! Yes, half price!"

"Great news! Great news! China's first blockbuster fantasy sci-fi film is about to premiere! It's about to premiere!"

"Visually stunning, cool kung fu, ultimate special effects, cosmic battles!"

Don't miss it! Don't miss it!

"..."

Upon hearing the rough, loud voice, like someone selling vegetables at a market, playing repeatedly on the tape recorder, Zhang Muxue was slightly startled!
"Is this how you advertise it?"

"Yes!"

"Also, I've had a suit custom-made for you—yes, the battle robes for our movie! Try them on to see if the size fits..."

"???"

Zhang Muxue watched as Zhou Yang smiled and took out one bright red garment after another from Shen Hu's bag.

Zhang Muxue instinctively took the clothes!
What came into view was a huge sign that read "Superman 2"!

Then I saw a line of large, eye-catching words written below!

[Global blockbuster, July 11th, "The Longest Nite 2" premieres!]

and many more!

Superman 2!

After watching for a while...

Zhang Muxue always felt that the "super" in "superman" was a bit strange!

and many more!

What the hell!

Superman?

A distant person?

What the hell!

He's a human being, not a superman!
This is "The Man Who Leapt Through Time 2", not "Superman 2"!
"Starting tomorrow, this loudspeaker will be placed at the entrance of the cinema and will play the same song on a loop!"

"The entire staff of the cinema wore this t-shirt from the premiere, and the poster for 'The Longest Nite 2' was displayed in the most prominent place in the cinema!"

"This is a poster I prepared carefully!"

"..."

Zhang Muxue stared blankly as Zhou Yang finished speaking, then smiled and took out a large poster!

The poster slowly unfolded in front of Zhang Muxue...

The poster looks so familiar!
Zhang Muxue was shocked!

She jumped to her feet, then turned on her computer and started searching for promotional posters for the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster, *Superman 2*...

On the computer poster, a muscular Superman is flying through the sky with one hand raised and the other bent!
The poster on the table also features a muscular Superman, with one hand raised and the other bent as he flies through the sky.

The poster looks like it was completely copied and pasted from a computer and then enlarged!
The only difference is...

and many more!

The only difference is...

The people on this poster look different...

The actor on the computer is Christopher, a famous Hollywood star, a handsome man described as a "goddess magnet" in Hollywood...

As for Zhou Yang's Superman poster, it's just that an Asian face that looks 9% similar to the original was photoshopped onto Christopher's face. If you don't look closely, you really can't notice it!

Does this work too?
Zhang Muxue gasped and stared intently at Zhou Yang.

But then Zhou Yang pushed up his glasses with one hand, revealed a smile, stood up slightly, stared into the distance, and said seriously.

"From now on, we're going to crush Hollywood!"
