Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Being niche means having fewer competitors.

Perhaps in a year, not a single nonsensical movie will appear in the world.

This is a perfect opportunity for me to showcase my skills.

"System, I want to customize a movie script!"

[Ding! Ready to open the movie script customization section!]

[New mission issued – King of Comedy!]

[King of Comedy: Please write a comedy script with a budget under 500 million and participate in the filming!]

[Completing the task will officially unlock the film and television work customization section and reward you with a film and television work blind box!]

As the system issued the task, Bai Qianqu was surprised to find that a brand new interface had appeared in the customization section, which was full of various types of film and television works.

Comedy, action, science fiction, thriller, romance, and animation—it has it all!

However, he is currently unable to customize most movies. According to the system's task requirements, he can only customize movies with a cost of less than 500 million.

For movies, those with a budget of less than 20 million can be considered low-budget films, let alone those with a budget of 5 million.

There's no expense that doesn't go into the actors' salaries, the purchase of props, and the rental of sets.

Some celebrities earn tens of millions just from their film and television fees!

Five million isn't even a fraction of what others make!

It's fair to say that compared to music, novels, and paintings, movies are practically money-burning furnaces.

Without sufficient funds, throwing money into it is practically throwing it down the drain.

The difficulty of making a movie with only five million is unimaginable.

Of course, this doesn't mean that low-budget films can't be good. Many excellent films cost less than five million, yet they have achieved far greater success than films with investments of hundreds of millions.

Take, for example, the movie that Bai Qianqu is watching right now.

Crazy Stone!

Released in 2006, this film cost only 350 million yuan to make, making it a truly small-budget film. However, it achieved remarkable success, grossing over 2300 million yuan at the box office alone!

It can be said that a miracle was created!

With its excellent and unique multi-narrative style and vivid character development, this film stands out as a unique gem among comedy films.

Without much hesitation, Bai Qianqu spoke directly.

"System, create a custom movie script called 'Crazy Stone'!"

[Customization successful! The script for the movie "Crazy Stone" has been sent! Please check your inbox!]

As the system's voice faded, a wealth of information about the script instantly flooded Bai Qianqu's mind.

He was surprised to find that it not only contained a complete movie script, but also a lot of knowledge related to the script.

Anyone who has written a screenplay knows that writing a qualified screenplay requires a great deal of knowledge, including but not limited to historical, cultural, geographical, and culinary knowledge.

In short, to recreate the movie's scenes in real life as completely as possible, thorough preparation is necessary, and some movies even hire consultants for advice.

Bai Qianqu, on the other hand, obviously didn't need to worry about these things. At this moment, he had all the necessary knowledge about movies in his mind.

Take "Crazy Stone" for example. The city where the movie takes place is a mountain city. The city's characteristics, such as the cable car and viaduct across the river, the unique dock culture, and the "porters," are now fully in Bai Qianqu's mind.

He was very knowledgeable about the cultural and historical landscape of the mountain city.

At this point, he could even speak fluent Chongqing dialect perfectly. If he wanted, he could even impersonate a native of Chongqing, and be even more like a local than the locals.

Some parts of the original movie script might have conflicted with this world, but the system has made reasonable adaptations to make it more in line with the background of this world.

Therefore, the script doesn't need any changes; it can be used directly.

Now Bai Qianqu only needs to consider one thing.

How should actors be selected for a film?

This world doesn't have Huang Bo, Guo Tao, Xu Zheng, or Wang Xun.

Without these people, it would be almost impossible to recreate "Crazy Stone" in this world.

The reason why "Crazy Stone" became a hit, besides its excellent plot and cinematic storytelling style, is mainly due to the actors, who brought the "ordinary people" in the film to life.

If the same movie had a different cast, it might not have reached the same level of success.

In other words, the original cast's performances elevated the film to a whole new level.

Bai Qianqu was quite troubled. He was not familiar with the actors in this world, nor did he know who was good at this kind of comedy.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the props in his shopping mall system.

Singing, dancing, and rapping props can not only enhance a user's singing skills but also their performance abilities!

Just in time to come in handy!

[Ding! The system has detected that the host is preparing to enter the film and television industry. To better provide high-quality services, the system store is undergoing an upgrade!]

[System store upgrade complete!]

Bai Qianqu's spirits lifted. The mall had finally received new merchandise, and he couldn't wait to enter the mall to take a look.

He was stunned when he saw it.

There are definitely some good things, but most of them look flashy and overly complicated.

For example, there's something called "Jade Potion." After drinking it, a person becomes taciturn and their tears flow freely, like a tap.

Bai Qianqu was speechless.

What is the purpose of this thing?

If we have to say something, this thing might be useful when filming movies, but the key question is, what professional actor can't cry like that?

How unprofessional must this actor be to not even be able to cry?

Besides, if you want to cry, just hide a few slices of onion or some eye drops in your hand, and apply them to your eyes when you feel like crying, and that's it.

Who would want to buy this thing of yours?

Okay, this stuff is indeed better than onions and eye drops, but the price is just outrageous!

A single bottle of [Jade Potion] costs a whopping 100,000!

It's only a small bottle, you can't even taste it!

Anyway, Bai Qianqu won't buy this thing; only a sucker would!

Of course, besides these seemingly useless goods, one item called "Memory Bread" caught Bai Qianqu's eye.

This thing only requires you to print the contents on bread, then eat it, and you'll remember the contents!

Chapter 310 Learning makes people happy

Bai Qianqu had a very deep impression of this thing!

From the famous anime "Doraemon"!

When he was a child, he saw this episode and fantasized more than once that he could obtain such a magical artifact one day.

If you print everything from the book on it before the exam, wouldn't it be awesome during the exam?

And this stuff has no side effects! You'll never forget what you've ingested! Plus, you'll automatically learn by analogy!

It can be described as an enhanced version of [Memory Bread PLUS!]

Bai Qianqu was delighted.

Memory Bread has arrived just in time!

Isn't he going to make a movie? Although he has acquired professional screenwriting skills, the entire filmmaking process requires not only screenwriting knowledge but also a lot of other professional knowledge.

He had long planned to read some books on film and television to fill in the gaps in his knowledge, not only about screenwriters, but also about directors, actors, cinematographers, and all sorts of other things.

However, studying alone is very inefficient.

Sometimes I feel like I understand, but when I think back on it, it seems like I don't understand anything at all.

When filming a movie, he can probably only provide the script and can't offer much professional advice on the rest of the filmmaking process.

Such a screenwriter is clearly incapable of becoming the core of a screenwriter-centric system.

To become a core member, you must become an all-around screenwriter!

However, becoming a versatile screenwriter requires a significant investment of time.

What he lacks most right now is time, and he also knows himself well; when reading, as soon as there are a lot of words, he immediately feels sleepy.

They are completely unsuitable for studying.

But now with the memory bread, things are different. He only needs to eat a few slices every day to quickly learn all the knowledge!

One slice of Memory Bread costs 100,000!

Very expensive!

But it's worth it!

Moreover, Bai Qianqu still had a lot of money at this time, and he became arrogant!

He bought ten slices of bread without batting an eye, even though each slice cost 100,000!

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad.

When has he ever been so extravagant and wasteful?

So Bai Qianqu kept reassuring herself while making the purchase.

You have to give up something to gain something!

"Only by suffering the greatest losses can one rise above others!"

You can't take anything with you when you die.

"Smart guys know they need to invest in themselves."

Money is an external thing.

"That little box is your eternal home—that doesn't seem right."
