We humans are so awesome.

Another fantasy-themed film that was also very popular was "Transformers". The story mainly takes place in hell. It tells the story of powerful adamantine golems from another dimension killing each other and their battle of wits and courage with the authorities of hell.

The "Transformers" movie series has not yet been completed, but after five consecutive films, its reputation has become extremely bad and the input-output ratio is completely unbalanced, so the rights to shoot the sequel fell into the hands of Don Juan.

"Askor is more valuable and relatively inexpensive, so there is no need to spend a huge amount of money on special effects. However, it is more difficult to shoot and requires excellent action design and guidance. Metamorphosis is relatively more friendly to novices, and only requires piling up special effects. It is hard to say what its market potential is."

Sylvia introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the two copyrights and then asked Don Juan for his opinion.

"Which one are you going to choose for the movie, sir?"

"…You can only choose one?"

"Of course!" Sylvia said affirmatively, "You know the reason too."

The biggest resource they have is the free trial of the Bard, but each person only has one.

There are so many bad movies on the market now, and there are so many famous bards who are invited to make guest appearances. If we use them scattered, we can't open up the gap with them. It's better to use them in a concentrated way. With so many familiar faces, we can at least make millions or even tens of millions of box office.

Moreover, the Masonic Film and Television Company was established less than a month ago and has no background or talent. It is really greedy to start two film projects at the same time.

But if you only choose one and discard the other, it would also be a waste.

Don Juan really couldn't give up his love, and after considering for a long time, he finally came up with a way to have the best of both worlds.

“Then let’s shoot this!”

He spread out a piece of paper and wrote the title of the movie in flamboyant letters.

"Askor's Legend: Transformed Steel"

Chapter 49 The Miser

It’s not like Sylvia hasn’t seen works of mixed bag before, but even the pirated comic books she read as a child would pay attention to the balance of combat power. How could this be ridiculous!

She tried to fulfill her responsibility as an assistant and pull back Don Juan's unruly imagination.

"Sir, the essence of the Ask series of Shadows is the wonderful fight between the human protagonist and the powerful alien enemy..."

"Isn't the Transformed Steel considered an alien race?" Don Juan asked in surprise.

"Of course..." Sylvia tried her best to stay calm, "The problem is, they are too powerful!"

She simply couldn't imagine how the monk's fighting skills could be applied to a deformed steel body that was more than ten meters tall.

“Art always originates from life, but is higher than life.”

Don Juan sighed. He had been trying to inspire his female assistant's sense of innovation and reform ideas with his patient persuasion for some time, but now it seemed that the effect was not very significant.

"You might as well think about it. Can Ask really beat ten halflings?"

Sylvia thought about it seriously, then shook her head.

Halflings are at most a little shorter, and their strength is not much inferior to that of humans. Let alone ten of them, even if there are only three or four, as long as they work together, even the strongest monk will be captured.

Unless you unleash the strength of a bull, the grace of a cat, and the tenacity of a bear beforehand... but then you're not a monk. You might as well just take out your wand and shoot wildly.

"Then in theory, can the devil army of hell deal with deformed steel?" Don Juan asked again.

Sylvia could only shake her head again.

According to the setting, each deformed steel has the power to destroy the world and can release a black hole by raising his hand. The density of the body is hundreds of billions times higher than the highest known substance and is almost immune to all attacks.

But in Shadow of Demon, even a small fireball can blow their eyeballs apart.

"So, Ask can beat the Halfling, and the Halfling and the Demon are evenly matched. The Demon once beat the Transfiguration Steel so hard that it couldn't fight back. So Ask can definitely beat the Transfiguration Steel. Not only can he beat them, he can beat ten of them!"

Don Juan's words were so reasonable and well-founded that Sylvia was speechless and had no choice but to surrender.

"Okay, let's fight... So what do we need to do now?"

"The most important thing in filming Magic Movie is of course to hire a director first. By the way, make sure you choose one that is of high quality and low price!" Don Juan reminded.

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

As soon as the news that Freemasonry was going to film The Magic Shadow was released, it immediately attracted the attention of countless directors inside and outside the dimension.

They were all in the industry, so they knew how much human resources the Freemasons had. As long as they could become the director of Magic Shadow, their network of contacts would definitely expand greatly.

As for the quality of the film, it doesn’t matter. Which director hasn’t made a bad film?

In less than two days, Sylvia received hundreds of resumes, many of which were from well-known directors at home and abroad. She carefully selected them and finally decided on Mr. Clement from the south.

Clement is known for his fast-paced work, never delaying the production schedule, staying within the budget, and bringing his own team. As long as the money is invested, he can start working at full speed in an instant, making him the most favored cornerstone director by investors.

After meeting Don Juan, he didn't say a word and immediately threw himself into his work with full enthusiasm.

"Mr. Don Juan, just tell me your ideas. As for the script, special effects, storyboards, art design, costume design... don't worry about it. Leave it all to me!"

"Is it so smart?" Don Juan was surprised and happy, but also a little uneasy. "By the way, I also wrote a script myself, I wonder if it is suitable."

Clement snapped his fingers and said, "It's suitable. It's very suitable. If it's convenient, can you give it to me now?"

"of course can!"

In Don Juan's conception, the main content of "The Legend of Ask: Transformed Steel" is roughly the same as other magic shadows.

The story takes place in the ancient chaotic era when the magic network had not yet been established. The deformed steels fought fiercely with each other, causing the energy blocks they cherished to fall into the human world.

In order to pursue the energy block, the deformed steel leader named Megaden came to the human world from another dimension, but was attacked by the most powerful warlock Bryson at that time and was sealed in the tomb of the first emperor of the human world. The energy block was also made into a royal seal, which was passed down from generation to generation.

Thousands of years later, the war between humans and halflings broke out. The halfling captain loved martial arts, so he sought a human monk to learn from him in exchange for the imperial seal that he had plundered.

The young monk named Ask wanted to live his life peacefully, but seeing the greatest treasure in the world fall into the hands of the enemy, he no longer concealed his strength. The two fought until the road was wiped out and the galaxy collapsed. They both fell into the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and activated the sleeping Megaden.

After Megaden was resurrected, he absorbed the energy block carried by the team leader, and his strength increased greatly. He easily defeated his nemesis Optimus. Under Megaden's leadership, the Transformed Steel was about to rush out of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and destroy the world, but suddenly a man appeared at the exit. He was seen squatting on one leg, with his hands clasped together, and his eyebrows were full of pride.

"I want to hit ten!"

Ask let out a long roar, shaking the underground palace to the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere. Countless enemies swarmed over him, but they still couldn't hide his majestic figure. His legend will surely be passed down through the ages.

"How is the quality of the script?" Don Juan asked with some anticipation. "This is my first time writing a script. Oh, and I left the last part as a tail to facilitate the filming of a sequel!"

Clement swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat and nodded reluctantly.

"It's, it's not bad... No! It's a very good script!"

Of course, investors are always right. As long as they pay enough money, anything can be changed. After all, there are plenty of screenwriters under their command.

Moreover, from the script given by Don Juan, Clemente did not gain nothing. He could at least see the other party's sincerity in using money.

It must be a big production!

The rental fee for the giant golem alone is no small sum. Add to that the Emperor's underground palace, the other-dimensional scenery, and the war scenes, each frame is an astronomical figure. Even the imperial seal would cost at least several million.

After a little calculation, Clement was overwhelmed with emotion. Such a large order was actually given to a second-rate director like him. What a favor!

As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for his friend. He put aside his previous negligence and vowed to do his best to save money for Don Juan.

If it were any other director, it might be difficult to make a decent work without three or five hundred million yuan, but in his case, it would only take two hundred million yuan at most and half a year to complete it.

"By the way, I wonder how much money Mr. Don Juan is going to invest?"

"Is five million enough?" Looking at Clement's expression, Don Juan gritted his teeth and added a little more, "Six million! Oh, by the way, time is tight. I wonder if it can be released within a month?"

Chapter 50 The Call of the Wild

Don Juan's business was big, he made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot, especially since he had just bought a new house and Grena took a full 40 million from him, so the balance in his account was almost gone.

Of course, if you force it, a small goal will be no problem, but Don Juan is not crazy, so how dare he invest all his funds in Magic Shadow.

In his opinion, six million was enough, and he wouldn't feel too bad if he lost all his money.

In an instant, he fell from heaven to hell. Clement's smile was still frozen on his face, and blood was slowly oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Don Juan was shocked.

"…It's okay! Do I look like I'm okay?!"

Clement thanked Don Juan for his concern. Even if he had many complaints, he dared not show them in front of Don Juan who had Zhuo Er's support.

"Six million, um... six million is fine, but then we can't shoot a big production, we have to go the art route!"

Clement is also very good at this. The reason why he never postpones the production is that he can add emotional scenes to any seemingly impossible place.

Romance scenes are so great. They don’t require fancy special effects or extras. Two people can just chat face to face, then chat in the cafe and then in the bedroom. When their feelings heat up, they can even have an action scene to liven up the mood. It’s so convenient to make up the running time!

Clement began to think about what kind of couple to arrange for Ask.

The halfling captain must first rule out the possibility of deep hatred between humans and halflings, not to mention that same-sex love has too small an audience in the human world after all. He has to consider the investors' wallets.

Optimus is a good choice. Since the devil can spark love with the giant gorilla, humans can certainly have a soul collision with the giant golem.

This kind of considerate and caring older sister image is no longer popular in the world today. Audiences now prefer beautiful female villains who are dark, cruel and brutal.

...It has to be McGrady after all!

The script in Clemente's mind was almost taking shape, and Don Juan began to express his opinions again.

"I don't think the arty route will work. This film has to be an action movie. It has to have big scenes!"

How could such a big scene...

Wait, you want him to pay out of his own pocket? ! !

Thinking of the rumored Don Juan's usual style of behavior, fear suddenly surged into Clement's heart. He couldn't hold back the blood in his throat after all, and it all sprayed onto the ground with a "wow".

"Are you okay?!!!"

Seeing Clement slowly falling to the ground, Don Juan was shocked and quickly asked someone to send the director to the hospital.

Of course, he was not trying to make things difficult for the other party, but he had to let the nearly a thousand bards under his command appear in order to create some heat.

So a grand scene is essential. You can't let others watch and comment on the hero and heroine making love, right?

"How about we change a director?" Don Juan asked Sylvia.

"I think we should wait a little longer. At least Mr. Clement has prepared himself mentally, and the others..."
