Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 594 Let me give you something good to eat!
The atmosphere on set was harmonious in the early morning. After breakfast, the staff felt full of energy.

Everyone began to devote themselves fully to their work, while Zhou Yang took a group photo of them from a distance.

He then posted the photo on social media with a caption.

#Actress Zhou Yang: Hope everyone has plenty of energy after breakfast! Filming for the horror thriller 'Alien' has officially begun!! The crew is working very hard! Go team! Hehe!#

This post quickly garnered over a million comments and more than ten million likes.

"Oh my god! Yang Ge is already working so early, and I'm still in bed!"

"I saw Brother Yang's update as soon as I woke up!"

"We haven't had breakfast yet, we're so hungry! Yang brought them breakfast, that's amazing!"

"Brother Yang is so handsome, he looks like he's wearing a spacesuit!"

"Horror movies? Those kinds of movies are so outdated now, I don't want to watch them!"

"Anything produced by Brother Yang is bound to be good!"

"Yes! Brother Yang, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you!"

"Brother Yang, although I want to support you, I'm still a little scared of horror movies!"

"..."

Zhou Yang shook his head inwardly at the comments he saw online; indeed, domestic horror films had outdated plots and lacked seriousness in their production.

He observed the set before him and realized that the lighting was not dim enough. Their goal this time was to simulate the atmosphere on the Covenant spaceship.

To enhance the sense of oppression within, Zhou Yang immediately communicated with the team responsible for art design.

Next, Zhou Yang asked the staff to deliberately lower the ceiling so that the corridor would appear more imposing in the darkness.

For Zhou Yang, making the bridge functional was particularly important, as he hoped to create a realistic experience for the actors.

Old Li from the technical department rushed over, panting, and said, "Brother Yang! Achieving this level of realism will be a huge undertaking!"

Zhou Yang frowned, looked at the blueprints Lao Li brought, and said firmly, "Manpower and funding are not problems! It must be perfect! Every switch and instrument must be effective!"

Old Li looked up in surprise, and sure enough, his nouveau riche air was evident. "Okay! I'll take care of it right away!"

Zhou Yang provided on-site guidance, and in order to create a more realistic effect, he decided to schedule the shooting of all scenes for the evening.

Seeing Zhou Yang's meticulous attitude, some staff members posted their opinions on Weibo during their breaks.

"#SummerIsNotHot: We're filming in New Zealand right now! Zhou Yang is so dedicated! To ensure the best results, he sets up the scene during the day and only starts filming at night! So professional!#"

"#ForeverLoveYangGe: As a member of the crew, and also a big fan of Yang Ge! He took such good care of us! He's working hard on the movie, looking forward to 'Alien'!#"

"#SummerSummerEatingWatermelon: Yang Ge is so charming when he's working! My god! Even I, a grown man, am almost attracted! He tried over 100 different routes for the sake of the effect, I really admire him!! Alien will definitely be a success!#"

"..."

Soon after, many people saw the related comments on Weibo and became "sour grapes".

"I never doubt Brother Yang's work! But please tell me how I can become a member of the crew?"

"I want to know too!! That way I can see what Brother Yang looks like when he's working!"

"This is so sour! I'm such a lemon! Waaah!"

"Brother Yang is really hardworking! Do those young idols still dare to call themselves hardworking?"

"Oh my god!! Are you the staff who get to eat Yang Ge's breakfast?" "Yang Ge's hard work has finally paid off!! I love Yang Ge!"

"..."

Discussions about Zhou Yang filming a horror movie are becoming increasingly frequent online, while Zhou Yang is busy from morning till night.

He was very careful about the set design, knowing that the layout of a film would affect the overall effect.

As night fell, Zhou Yang finished his dinner and rushed to the scene, where the actors were already in place.

When Gal Gadot saw Zhou Yang arrive, she immediately went up to him, winking mischievously, "Zhou, why didn't you have dinner with me today?"

Zhou Yang responded with a laugh: "Damn it! I'm incredibly busy!"

Gal Gadot greatly admires men who are charismatic at work, and Zhou Yang is not only exceptionally talented but also has a captivating personality.

However, as an actress, Gal Gadot remains very dedicated to her acting skills.

Zhou Yang immediately explained the secret to her, and Gal Gadot quickly understood.

The Alien movie mainly revolves around Gal Gadot's character, telling the story of a female sailor who encounters an alien on a strange planet and embarks on a life-or-death escape.

The first scene depicts the Covenant ship capturing a signal from an unknown planet during its return voyage, prompting the expedition team to decide to travel to that planet to explore.

This scene primarily showcases a mysterious spaceship on a planet. Against a dark background, the crew discovers a massive alien wreckage and numerous alien eggs in this gloomy environment, subsequently encountering attacks and parasitism from the alien eggs.

Zhou Yang realized that achieving the desired effect would be very challenging, because current CG technology often cannot provide a realistic viewing experience.

He came up with a solution while brainstorming: using physical effects.

Physical effects have unique advantages in both aesthetics and practicality.

Guo Fan was commissioned to participate in this project and accompanied Zhou Yang to New Zealand as the assistant director. He was once again amazed by Zhou Yang's creativity.

"Wow! This will require a lot more effort!" Guo Fan exclaimed.

Zhou Yang glanced at him and replied earnestly, "I just hope to make an excellent thriller!"

Guo Fan was deeply moved by Zhou Yang's determination. He learned a lot of new knowledge while filming movies with him.

Once everything was ready, Zhou Yang adjusted the camera and shouted, "Alien, Act III, Shot I, Action!"

All the actors quickly got into character, and the dim atmosphere on set added to the sense of horror.

The captain led the three men into the dimly lit cabin, where the faint light made it almost impossible for them to see the way ahead.

Soon they saw the huge wreckage and their faces showed horror.

This was also specially designed by Zhou Yang; the so-called physical effects must rely on real models.

Next, the three arrived at the underground ovary.

At this point, the actor playing the first mate should be attacked by the alien egg, while the two people next to him should show expressions of fear.

Seeing his performance on camera, Zhou Yang noticed that many muscle details were not shown, so he shouted, "NG!"

Since no physical effects were used afterward, the actors had to express fear in front of a green screen, but their performances were clearly overly exaggerated.

The result appeared very artificial.
