I have a map editor

Yang Sheng simply booked a restaurant in the town and made a few phone calls to ask how many people there were. One restaurant didn't have enough seats, so he booked two more and treated the two crews to a meal.

The owner of the restaurant here is also his "apprentice" who came here a few years ago. The food tastes great. Another feature is that it is clean and tidy. Although the restaurant is small, there is nothing wrong with the appearance and clothing of the chefs and waiters. There is no trace of the greasy and dirty feeling of a fly shop.

You know, as his apprentice, one of the gifts he will receive after something happens is a complete set of professional tools for trimming nails. If you accept his investment to open a shop, one of the must-have items is a set of cleaning and bathing tools.

The guests who come to him are mainly directors and leading actors, as well as a few artists who have not signed artist contracts and only have a cooperative relationship with "Traveler Entertainment" for this drama. In addition, there are professionals in filming and crew, who are hired from the industry to assist in training directors and other personnel who have work contracts with the company.

There are two groups of filming crews, one from Beijing Film Academy, and the other from Shanghai Theatre Academy. The director, cameraman, screenwriter, etc. are basically all newcomers who graduated this year or last year.

Generally speaking, unless the biological father is Zheng Yanxing, even if his name is Zhang Yimou, a newly graduated directing student has to follow the crew and do chores and basic work for a few years before he has the opportunity to direct on his own. If he does not have connections and resources, he must gain fame (win awards) or the favor of capital before he has the chance to sit in the director's chair.

This is a profession that is heavily restricted by connections and resources. Of course, the director’s personal talent and opportunities are also very important.

Yang Sheng naturally had something to rely on for daring to do this. In addition to having read the graduation projects of the two main directors and feeling that they both had solid basic skills, the scripts he provided also basically limited the lower limit of the two dramas.

Yang Sheng is not a newcomer to film and television production. When he was in Mysterious Country No. 01, he cooperated with the CCTV there to shoot "Mysterious Country on the Tip of the Tongue". He knows all the ins and outs of the crew.

In terms of the script, he was so detailed that he provided a sketch of the storyboards and specific shooting requirements. After all, it was based on the finished product of the original drama... The reason why he looked for someone with solid basic skills rather than spirituality to take the lead was for this very purpose. As long as the things can be filmed according to the requirements, the finished product will not be bad.

Those who are spiritual or have their own ideas may not be able to follow the shooting requirements.

After all, new graduates can get the opportunity to direct independently with a relatively high investment. This opportunity is very rare, and the two new directors cherished it very much. They worked diligently during the filming and followed the shooting requirements in full accordance with the script.

There is nothing wrong with "Mountains and Seas", but as for "Awakening Age", when Yang Sheng had nothing to do in the past few years, he carefully checked the life stories and some allusions of the relevant historical figures of this time and space. He has no intention of glorifying some controversial historical figures or existences.

This is another reason for hiring a new director. Only a new director who is not bound by traditional forces and is a fledgling, or a person like him who has completed the material pursuit of personal life value and then seeks higher goals, will shoot like this.

In addition, in order to stimulate their personal creative enthusiasm, Yang Sheng not only signed contracts with two new directors, but also hired their "relatives and friends". It can be said that the filming team is completely tailored according to their personal needs.

The script sets the lower quality limit for the finished series, but the upper quality limit is entirely determined by how much positive and valuable creative energy they can produce.

The atmosphere in Yang Shengzan's two crews is quite harmonious, because the two chief directors and many workers are newcomers, and a lot of filming work is discussed. In fact, in actual work, this way of working is not advisable in many situations, because there is always some dark side of human nature, such as relying on the experienced to bully the inexperienced party.

However, this is a TV series and all the people are insiders. When they finally stand in front of the screen, they can see at a glance whether the filming is good or bad and what the effect is. Yang Sheng gave the two directors a lot of autonomy in other aspects. One or two times can be said to be work mistakes, but if they are deliberately making trouble... If the filming contract is terminated, they will also have to compensate for the losses caused by delaying the crew's filming progress.

Following the well-known memes such as "Nanshan Pizza Hut" and "Wanda Legal Department", in this world, it is the "Time Traveler Lawyers Team" that became famous first.

Not to mention ordinary actors, even the top domestic stars are unwilling to compete with this "luxury group" that can compete with the U.S. Department of Commerce. No one wants to do that, so the two crews generally present a harmonious atmosphere of common progress and mutual promotion, rather than just superficial.

Before this meal, most people at "Crossover Entertainment" had never seen Yang Sheng's true face, not counting D Station, "Crossover Entertainment", "Crossover Special Effects" and other

The company's valuation, just for "Traveler Technology", is rumored to be at least hundreds of billions or even trillions, and the unit is "Daole".

The reason for this valuation rather than the exact financial report is that "Traveler Technology" is not a joint-stock company, but a private company wholly owned by Yang Sheng. It has not been listed and has not issued stocks. It does not need to publish financial reports to the public at all. Therefore, the industry has not had exact data and can only make valuations based on shipments, capital flows, production scales and other aspects.

In addition to LCD screens, "Crosser Technology" also has photovoltaic panels, electric vehicles, hard disk and memory production lines, as well as numerous strange investments. LCD screens, one of its main industries, has dominated the world. It can be said that every LCD screen on the earth now requires the use of "Crosser Technology's" patents. The patent fees for this alone are as high as tens of billions each year. With the in-depth application of LCD screens in various fields, such as mobile phone screens, industrial control fields, etc., this income will only increase in the future.

There is no need to mention other things like photovoltaic panels and electric cars. Billions of dollars are already an astronomical figure in this day and age, and this is only every year. You have to know that the biological mother and godfather of Fairy Sister Liu Yifei, the godfather of the two, has a net worth of only a few hundred million, which is enough to bluff people and even make mainstream film and television companies go around in circles. This shows how powerful money is.

This is the case before the company goes public. Once the company goes public, it is normal for its value to increase tenfold. Even if most of the funds are invested in the daily operations of the company, it is unimaginable wealth for ordinary people... In fact, Yang Sheng's cash flow is much better. If he lived a frugal life, he would not have the leisure to engage in these D stations and film and television special effects industries other than industry.

In short, the meal was very exciting and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Everyone was surprised at Yang Sheng's youth and handsomeness. The employees of "Traveler Entertainment" also worshipped their boss. The few contracted actors and workers also felt honored to dine with their idol.

And most of them hold the idea that "if the production standards of this company can maintain the current level in the future, I might as well switch to it."

……

The next morning, the collective part of the family morning exercise ended, and those who needed to go back home went back home, and those who needed to go to work went to work.

As usual, Emily stayed at the back mountain venue to guide Liu Yifei to do some further physical and martial arts movement training. The young assistant usually followed along, and only when necessary would he act as a photographer to correct Liu Yifei's posture.

Yang Sheng didn't go back either, but continued to practice boxing slowly on the side.

The Yang style Tai Chi that he practiced has achieved some success. Many of the movements have been studied and practiced perfectly. Compared with the actual combat Tai Chi which is neither slow nor able to use the opponent's force to attack, his Tai Chi is the kind of martial arts Tai Chi in the movies "The Demon Cult Leader" and "Tai Chi Master".

You can use it to stir a water tank or something, and think that you can break the water tank into pieces. Then you can release a little bit of mental power to affect the wind and air, and you can also create the visual effect of making the leaves in the sky rotate along a fixed fluttering trajectory, and finally form a ball.

Compared with the supernatural powers he possessed, his internal energy and internal force were relatively low-level. Once he used [Alchemy], not only could it not be transmitted along the weapon or punched, but he could directly twist both the weapon and himself into an indescribable sphere. Or, like in the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist", he could directly extract carbon and iron elements from the soil and rub out a high-carbon steel weapon on the spot.

As the fight went on, Yang Sheng gained some insights and experiences, and unknowingly used some of his special abilities. He used wind magic and his mental power to slightly interfere with the wind direction... Oh, there is no wind now, but there can be wind.

There have always been fallen leaves on the ground in the forest. It is midsummer now, and it will not become drier until autumn when the weather is clear and cool. They will be easily blown up by the wind. However, there are always fine or drier broken leaves and grass, which are centered around him and are slowly lifted up by his boxing movements.

The first person to notice the unusual phenomenon was Emily. In fact, she had been observing her husband practicing boxing in the past few days. The two had basically the same experience. When they were in the mysterious country No. 01, Shanghai City's Shuangdan University, they knew what real boxing or Chinese martial arts were through the relationship with their senior schoolmate Hu Lili.

Yang Sheng usually exercises... just to relax his body. He prefers simple and scientific exercise movements rather than martial arts routines. Emily, on the other hand, was influenced by TV and movies and has a special liking for good-looking martial arts routines.

So she was a little confused these past two days. Why did her husband suddenly change his personality and start practicing Tai Chi, especially the slow-paced Tai Chi that the old men in the park do for fitness.

When she realized that the air was being moved slowly, she looked towards Yang Sheng in surprise. At this time, she could see countless broken leaves and grass flying in the sky. As a partner who was in tune with Yang Sheng, she could see at once that her husband was in a state of ecstasy with his mind empty and his body focused, and he seemed as if he could not be disturbed.

He immediately called out to Liu Yifei and the assistant beside him in a low voice, "You two follow me and step back. Don't make any noise."

After thinking for a while, she said, "You can record the video, but you are not allowed to show it to a fourth person, and you are not allowed to tell anyone outside the family."

Liu Yifei and the assistant didn't know what was going on and were led back. Following the direction Emily was paying attention, they saw Yang Sheng and the abnormality around him.

The two of them suddenly widened their eyes and covered their mouths, their faces full of shock.

color.

After hearing Emily's reminder, the assistant quickly took out a camera from her bag and started filming Yang Sheng while staring at him.

As mentioned before, this world also has local versions of Jet Li and Jack Cheng. Liu Yifei's last flopped Sino-American co-production "King of Kung Fu" was shot with them.

Liu Yifei knew them and had acted in a movie with them. She also had some skills in martial arts and dance. However, it was only after receiving Emily's guidance that she realized how big the gap was between herself and the top male kung fu stars.

But what made her feel the most incredible was actually Emily. The more she accepted Emily's guidance in physical fitness and movement, the more she strengthened her physical fitness and movement, and the more she felt that Emily's ability might be far superior to Jet Li and Jack Cheng.

Because after she was strengthened, she could clearly feel in her own memories and simulations that the gap between herself and the other two had narrowed. If she were to collaborate in a similar action movie again, she could perform better, even not inferior to the two action stars.

But she never felt that the gap between herself and Emily had narrowed. On the contrary, the more she accepted her guidance and training, the more she felt that the gap between herself and Emily was so great that it made her despair. For example, she once locked Emily on the ground with a cross armbar, but she stood up in an instant and lifted her up with one arm...

Demonstrated inhuman waist strength, arm strength... and whole body strength.

She was hanging under her arms at the time, feeling like a monkey hanging on a branch.

She was confident that even if she replaced two kung fu superstars, no one would be able to break free from her fixed skills.

When we were chatting before, Emily once said that everything she knew was taught by her husband.

Liu Yifei didn't believe it at that time, but now she believes it.

……

Although the trees here are common locust trees in the area, not bamboo forests, Yang Sheng is also wearing sportswear and fashionable sneakers, not kung fu clothes and sneakers.

But I have to say, not only are his boxing movements graceful and beautiful, he can also stir up the air and make broken leaves and grass foam fly in the sky, and finally gather them into a ball like in the movies. I have to say, this is really handsome, and it instantly raised the expectations of the three girls on the scene for martial arts to the maximum.

His performance was already outrageous enough. Emily suppressed her inner restlessness. She wanted to fight him for a few moves, and then she wanted to fight him for a few moves... She could see that Yang Sheng did not use any special abilities, and the flow of air could be explained by his movements.

But even if she could use some of her abilities to drive the air flow, she couldn't rely on body movements in the process to blow lightweight things like broken leaves and grass foam into the air, making them fly along a fixed trajectory and finally gather into a ball.

"Where did you learn this kind of boxing?"

After Yang Sheng threw the grass ball aside, stood still and gathered his energy to finish his practice, Emily came over and asked with a smile.

"I figured it out myself. Yang style Tai Chi. How cool is it?"

Yang Sheng came back to his senses and reacted. He glanced at the assistant holding the camera not far away and thought, "I was careless. Fortunately, I didn't use any special abilities..." He smiled and replied to his wife, "I felt something special just now. Let's sing a part of Stepping on the Snow."

Emily began to sing:

"A soaring swan breaks through the clouds and mist, thousands of rivers and mountains"

"It takes ten years to forge a sword after eating frost and drinking snow"

"Look at me, I can stand alone against all odds and make ten thousand men look unhappy."

"A flying swan rises and breaks through the glaciers, its sharp edge cuts through the sky"

"You don't see the coldness at high places, despite the frost and snow"

"Follow me and take the lead, the phoenix rises in the east and the flag is shining brightly"

"..."

As she sang this song, which had not been sung anywhere else but had a strong flavor of a mysterious country and a hint of opera, Yang Sheng performed a few more moves with an unsatisfied feeling.

The singing, locust trees and martial arts movements complement each other, like an art film with a film texture.

To Liu Yifei and the assistant standing by, this scene was like a perfect couple scene - Yang Sheng was okay, but Emily was a little out of place, but beauty is justice, and the White Dove Church can also create an ancient (forced) scene of a perfect couple.

Liu Yifei even saw ghost images of several classic roles she had played.

……

Emily was supposed to drive the children to kindergarten in the morning, but Yang Sheng was out today, so he took over the responsibility of taking the little ones to school.

After sending the child to kindergarten, Yang Sheng continued walking forward and came to the "Traveler Entertainment" building.

I met with two film crews yesterday, so today I naturally came to the company's production department to see the footage that has already been shot and how the edited film will turn out.

As the company's first works to gain popularity, Yang Sheng attaches great importance to these two works, and there are no other projects in operation, so all resources are naturally concentrated on these two dramas.

"Awakening Age" is expected to have 45 episodes. The production team has already filmed 22 to 25 episodes, and the company headquarters has also edited 15 episodes in post-production.

"Mountains and Seas" is expected to have 25 episodes, but it involves the production of green screen backgrounds, which requires the filming crew and the special effects team to discuss while filming, so the progress is slow. After shooting about 12 episodes of material, the headquarters cut out 10 episodes according to the script... But the background of the later stage has not been made, so there is a large piece of green cloth in many scenes, which looks a bit out of place. Yang Sheng plans to wait for the background to be made.

I watched the film after the scenery was completed.

So Yang Sheng watched "Awakening Age".

This is a historical drama that puts a lot of effort into costumes, props, actors' images and lines, but basically does not involve any special effects. Only the introduction to the background of World War I at the beginning uses a drawing board as the stage setting.

Yang Sheng was watching the movie and drinking tea in the company's small screening room, accompanied by the head of the distribution department.

However, the two did not communicate much. Yang Sheng focused all his attention on watching the film. He would only give clear instructions after examining the quality of the finished film.

The person in charge was also very patient and quietly watched the movie with him and drank tea, and seemed to be immersed in the plot.

The two watched three episodes of movies in the morning and had lunch together in the company cafeteria.

Yang Sheng rarely shows up even at technology companies, let alone entertainment companies. Many employees don't know him. When they see the head of their own distribution department having dinner with a young man, they all wonder if he is a prince or someone with connections.

"Old Yang, what do you think of our first work?"

The head of the issuance department and Yang Sheng are relatives, but the two are not related, that's for sure. Old Yang was born and raised in this world, so it would be impossible for him to be related to Yang Sheng.

“It feels pretty good. The costumes, props, and actors are very close to history and the original characters. The lines are also very sophisticated and well-made.”

"I think it's okay too. If you can maintain this level for the 15 episodes so far, you can take the sample to negotiate with the TV station."

"What are Mr. Yang's plans?"

"I'll call you later. He's the director of CCTV's advertising business. Just tell him that I asked you to talk to him."

Old Yang was a little surprised: "Boss Yang is planning to go directly to CCTV?"

"How fresh! If a TV series doesn't want to be on CCTV's prime time, is it a serious TV series? Since our products are good, why can't they be on CCTV? You don't have to feel inferior to them. Just talk about it. After all, you are also a ministerial-level manager of our group, although your level is lower than theirs..."

Yang Sheng shrugged and then told him some requests.

Old Yang was a little surprised: "Gambling agreement?"

"Well, although we are not short of money, we should talk about business. You can ask Manager Wang from the Artist Department. She used to work in the TV drama department of the satellite TV station and is familiar with the relevant standards. If our TV drama can help improve the ratings of CCTV's prime time, then according to the improved data, the higher the ratings, the more fees CCTV will have to pay us. Explain it clearly to them. This is a win-win situation. The higher their ratings are, the more expensive the advertisements will be. Our TV drama is an important way to help them achieve this leap forward."

Old Yang is no novice in the business world. He understood Yang Sheng's intentions after just a few words and learned to draw inferences from his own experience. "So... during the negotiation process, in order to increase the chances of a successful contract, can I make a promise on behalf of the company that if we don't achieve the ratings we expect, we can reduce the fees we need to pay in a step-by-step manner?"

Yang Sheng recalled some TV dramas he had watched in this world, and felt that even if he deviated from the successful experience of his own Space-Time Zero, at least from the three episodes he had watched in the morning, his company's production of "Awakening Age" was very impressive.

So he nodded:

"Can"

0073

For several days, Liu Yifei's mind was always filled with the image of her boss boxing in the woods in the morning light and Emily's singing.

I have to say, that scene was really beautiful, and it overlapped with some of the beautiful and pure love roles she had played, which resonated greatly with her.

Although her acting skills are somewhat lacking, her aesthetics and appreciation abilities are still online, and she is more or less an artistic girl with a bit of literary and artistic temperament.

She didn't know how many times she had watched the video footage shot by the assistant in the past few days. She liked it very much.

But that's all. One is her big boss, and the other is her boss's wife. Neither of them has any intention of making their debut. And judging from the news management in recent years, Yang Sheng has also tried his best to avoid himself and his family appearing in any media news.

Liu Yifei would just enjoy the show by herself, and at most bring her little assistant with her.

……
