Global Film Emperor: I film just to finish the movie!

Chapter 13 [013] Box Office Poison

Suddenly, there was another scream.

In the quiet atmosphere, this shout startled the treasure hunting team and the staff who were trying to hold back their laughter.

The tall producer was about to curse when the female lead, who was shrieking and collapsing on the ground, started yelling again, "Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui!"

“…Here it comes, here it comes.”

A slightly plump girl, holding a bag, hurriedly ran towards the female lead.

"Sister Na, water..."

"Take off your clothes and give them to me!" The female lead was still sitting on the ground and shouting.

"Ah?" The slightly plump girl was stunned.

"I told you to take off your clothes for me!!"

The female lead screamed, her voice shrill. While shouting, she grabbed the mineral water and sprinkled it on the slightly plump girl, and incidentally, some was spilled on herself as well.

The slightly plump girl was startled and took a few steps back, but after she came to her senses, she took off her coat and handed it to the female lead.

"Useless thing, so stupid." The female lead took the clothes and put them on, shouting, "Help me up!"

"..." The slightly plump girl bent down silently and helped the female lead up. Under the gaze of others, the two walked out of the set.

"What are you looking at?"

The producer angrily scolded, "Hurry up and clean up, then..."

"it is good!"

The director, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up from in front of the monitor and shouted excitedly, "Great! That was a great show! Keep it up, everyone. Keep up the pace and atmosphere for the next show. As long as everyone works hard, I guarantee the online box office will definitely break 10 million!"

"..."

The scene was silent, and everyone looked at the director speechlessly.

This is almost like an on-set accident, and the director is still focused on filming...

However, the effect of the scene just now was really good.

Everyone was thinking about it, then they resumed their actions and got busy.

In the muddy pond, Su Ding slowly stood up, climbed ashore nimbly, and went to wash while muttering in his heart.

"It seems this skill isn't meant to be used casually."

The effect of getting others into the play is indeed obvious, but it is a bit too much.

The female lead just screamed, taking her anger out on the assistant. It wasn't because she was scared, but because she peed herself...

Although Su Ding didn't see it either, but considering the performance of the female lead, who was putting on clothes and sprinkling water on herself, it was almost certain.

This is a bit embarrassing~
"Okay, I'll just play myself."

Su Ding said in his heart.

The character of "Madman" is always startled in most of the scenes. If the "Dynamic Zone" is on every time, the male and female protagonists will definitely not be able to bear it.

I guess only directors who are only focused on filming would like it?

……

Make a decision.

When filming again, Su Ding did not use his skills again, and the male and female protagonists and others naturally returned to their original level, performing the scenes in a rigid and awkward manner.

But the director was unhappy.

"Crack!"

“Do it again, do it again.”

"Click! Click!"

"Do it again. I want that same atmosphere from before, that wholehearted dedication! Dedicated, immersed in the play, do you understand?"

"..."

“Crack! Crack! Crack!!”

"Are you all idiots? You can't even act out such a small scene? Did you eat shit this morning!?"

"..."

The whole place was completely silent. Actors and crew members alike stopped what they were doing and stared at the livid director in total silence.

Su Ding followed the crowd, hiding aside, trying to figure out the identity and background of the "madman" and gather additional information.

The online drama "Strange Tales of the Republic of China: The Mist Shadow Cave" is shoddy in production, with a mediocre world view, and most of the actors are extras with little acting skills. In this case, if you want to improve the overall score after the filming is completed, you can only work hard on the roles you play.

"It's time for lunch, everyone, take a break and have lunch first."

In the silence, the producer came over and instructed, "Pick up what needs to be cleaned up, don't leave anything behind."

"Yang Xian, come with me."

The producer was tall. After he finished speaking, he took the director, who was over 1.7 meters tall and wore glasses, and walked away.

Only then did the filming resume.

However, when everyone was cleaning up, they gathered in groups of three or four to discuss things.

"Why take it so seriously? It's just an online movie. It won't be released in theaters no matter how serious you are."

"Hey, he still thinks he's a top student and a director at the Beijing Film Academy, but he doesn't even look at how much money he's lost!"

"Exactly. It's become 'box office poison,' and yet it still acts so arrogantly."

"..."

Those who were talking did not lower their voices much.

Most people at the scene heard it, but no one spoke up for the director.

Although Su Ding was curious, he also did not interrupt.

After taking out his dentures and changing his clothes, he waited for the food truck to arrive. Then he turned on his mobile phone and searched online for the keywords "Yang Xian", "Beijing Film Director", and "Box Office Poison".

The news that popped up made Su Ding stunned, and then he suddenly realized.

Yang Xian!

He remembered that Yang Xian was a graduate of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. He had made short films while in school and won awards. Although he did not win the Golden Dragon Award for Best New Director, he was once famous and was hailed as one of the three most talented young directors.

After graduation, Brothers Media invested in a low-budget movie directed by Yang Xian. Unfortunately, it collided with the new film of the comedy king and was a complete flop.

Losing money on his first feature film naturally had an impact on Yang Xian's career as a director, but fortunately not much.

However, the second, third, and fourth parts all failed, which was strange and repulsive.

The title of "box office poison" was directly put on Yang Xian's head, and no one was willing to invest in him anymore.

The once talented director has since disappeared without a trace.

Unexpectedly, I encountered this situation this time and ended up having to film an online movie.

Shooting a web movie is not the key point. The key point is that after experiencing this series of setbacks, Yang Xian still maintains his passion for movies, and he is dedicated to it even if it is a web movie.

Unfortunately, no one admires his seriousness, but instead dislikes him for not knowing himself well.

Su Ding actually admired him very much.

Anyone who is persistent in pursuing their dreams deserves respect.

But he is just an 18th-tier artist, it's good enough for him to be able to manage himself.

……

I don’t know what the producer said, but after being pulled in for a talk, Yang Xian no longer insisted on quality and passed most of the shots in one take.

So, the entire film was completed on the eighth day after Su Ding joined the crew.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the online film "Tales of the Republic of China: The Fog and Shadow Cave". Testing has begun...]

[The online world's completeness is detected at 51%, the character's richness is 63%, the host's interpretation is 67%, and the host and character's fusion is 59%...]

[Comprehensive score: 60]

[Reward: Appearance +1, Points +52]

The rating just hit 60!

The rewards are also good, which directly improves the appearance.

Su Ding looked at himself in the mirror. His face was still the same, but his facial features had become more coordinated, the contours became clearer, and his skin had become much whiter.

"If I put on a school uniform, I wouldn't need to act to make people think I'm a high school student."
