The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 328 Miss T will make a grand appearance once again! The [Han Tianliang] formula appears again!
……

Universal Pictures also has its own digital filming facilities.

Universal Pictures' Los Angeles headquarters is even simply called "Universal City".

This shows how vast the area is.

No. 100, Guangchang Street, this is where Lu Zhiyuan works now!
Lu Zhiyuan followed his usual work schedule: he would get up at 8 a.m., have breakfast, and arrive at the company before 9 a.m.

He didn't come alone today.

Dilraba came along too!
Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Dilraba became very clingy and wanted to stay by Lu Zhiyuan's side all day.

……

"My Emperor, welcome to your temporary palace."

James was waiting for Lu Zhiyuan at the entrance of the digital shooting base early in the morning.

He was accompanied by three blonde beauties, all of whom had delicate features, slender figures, and skin that was relatively smooth for Europeans.

Most likely of Eastern European descent!

Western European women don't have this kind of refinement.

"James, who are these three people?"

Before Lu Zhiyuan could speak, Reba's eyes narrowed, a hint of murderous intent flashing within them!

James sensed danger.

Fortunately, James was a seasoned veteran, and remained calm and composed, saying, "She's my newly hired receptionist. Boss, what do you think? Not bad, right?"

Dilraba looked him up and down a few times, and couldn't help but nod in approval.

James has a really good eye. These three women are all world beauty queens, they're simply natural beauties!

Even just comparing looks made her feel somewhat ashamed.

However, Dilraba wasn't worried about anything.

Lu Zhiyuan isn't like Brother Kun. No matter how beautiful a woman of unknown origin is, she won't stir any emotion in him.

"It's a bit of a waste to have such a beautiful girl working as a receptionist. She can stay with our great artist for the next few days."

Dilraba gave a brief instruction, displaying great composure.

In fact, she knew perfectly well that this was the seductive and shameless woman that James had found to corrupt Lu Zhiyuan!

However, Dilraba trusts Lu Zhiyuan completely!
Hearing this, James was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "As one of the top figures in Hollywood, the boss certainly needs a few beautiful female secretaries to serve him, attending to his every need. Otherwise, how can he reflect his status as a big shot?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, then asked James to lead the way.

Universal City is very large and has several digital photography studios.

Without someone to guide him, Lu Zhiyuan was afraid he would get lost.

"Boss, as you instructed, Jeff worked through the night to find a team to start building the [Y-Space] studio for you."

"By the way, boss, the special water tank you had custom-made will probably take a week to complete."

In the film "Yunnan Insect Valley," Lu Zhiyuan plans to design a scene involving an underwater adventure.

Most movies don't dare to film underwater scenes.

Because the photography skills were not up to standard.

Especially 3D photography, underwater shooting had never been attempted before.

This should be the first time in history that someone has incorporated 3D effects of underwater scenes into a movie!
Lu Zhiyuan is preparing to follow the technical route of "Avatar 2".

In this day and age, his filming method is absolutely a world-leading technological innovation!
"These past two days, I've just been getting familiar with the work environment and the staff in the team."

"Once all my people have arrived and the equipment is almost ready, we'll start working!"

"James, you don't need to stay with me today. Go and do your own work."

The pre-production preparation and the post-production special effects work are the art of directing.

During this stage, actors generally do not need to appear in public.

This is the shooting process for industrial films!

Why is film production director-centric?
This is because actors have very little say in the creative process.

It doesn't look like a TV drama!
The scene could be a suitable film studio, and then a popular celebrity could be used as the main character. The character could be created and the lines changed according to the celebrity's wishes.

Even worse, if a popular celebrity has to leave early and filming can't continue... the director can have the screenwriter rewrite the plot overnight, then have the second female lead take over the main storyline and end up marrying the male lead!

For a film director, this situation is an absolute disgrace!
It's estimated that the entire directing industry will be able to tacitly blacklist that popular actor, preventing him from ever getting good film opportunities for the rest of his life!
However, in the TV drama industry, this situation is quite common!
……

Lu Zhiyuan, accompanied by Dilraba and followed by three blonde beauties of model caliber, strolled around the digital photography studio, attracting countless eyes wherever they went.

After all, their group was simply too conspicuous!

However, after the staff took a look and recognized Lu Zhiyuan, they immediately felt that this was normal.

Big shots should have the air of big shots!

Bringing four beautiful women is nothing! They've seen even more outrageous ones!

“Reba, do you see this open space? I’m going to build a huge glass water tank here and cover it with LED screens.”

"At that time, these LED screens will be able to display a variety of underwater environments."

“In the Yunnan Insect Valley instance, no matter how bizarre it is, it can be presented through these LED screens. Then, when Nazha sees a dangerous situation, she can naturally make a tense and fearful expression.”

"Isn't this more immersive than green screen filming or imagining things out of thin air?"

With this filming method, the focus of the work is entirely on the director.

Actors have it much easier.

Therefore, this filming method does not require any talented actors or any skills in acting without props.

The director can simply pick a few students from a school who fit the character image, and they can act in this movie.

This has led to a situation...

As this filming model continues to improve, directors will have lower and lower requirements for actors' acting skills, while actors can become famous overnight through movies and receive numerous endorsements!

Given this supply-demand imbalance, how much should directors pay actors?

It's foreseeable that, faced with a situation where filming is simple yet offers a high chance of instant fame, actors would likely be tempted to bribe directors, desperately seeking a role.

"Husband, thank you!"

After looking around, Dilraba suddenly whispered a thank you to Lu Zhiyuan.

"no need thank me?"

Lu Zhiyuan looked at him with some doubt.

Dilraba, fully aware of the situation, said, "Thank you for not letting me play Shirley Yang. Otherwise, I would definitely have been drinking water in the tank until I threw up."

The glass water tank is finished, and the LED screen is installed.

There will definitely be a lot of underwater scenes in this movie, and they will certainly be very exciting.

Given Lu Zhiyuan's consistently high standards, he would definitely make Nazha struggle in the water for a long time until she filmed the footage he needed!

What was Friedrich's artistic style?
The vastness of nature, the insignificance of human destiny!
Therefore, in this underground palace environment, facing numerous dangers, Nazha would inevitably struggle terribly...

As a decorative character in the movie, and as the male lead's lover, Nazha's role shouldn't be expected to get all the benefits, right?
She's definitely going to suffer a lot here!
There's a high probability she'll die once for the male lead... Of course, she's unlikely to actually die.

After all, they are an inseparable trio.

However, in order to make the audience fall in love with the female lead, Lu Zhiyuan will most likely to torture her half to death first.

This is called tragic aesthetics!
If the audience feels that the female lead has been wronged in the movie, then in reality, the audience will make up for the suffering the female lead endured in the movie in various ways!
Lu Zhiyuan has used this trick in several of his films, and it has almost always worked.

"This was suggested to me by Gulnazar."

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and revealed a little secret to Dilraba: "She said she wanted to prove herself. So, I gave her a chance! No pain, no gain!"

Ha ha!

Hearing this toxic positivity, Dilraba couldn't help but laugh a few times.

If you're willing to endure hardship, you'll have endless hardships in this life!

Look at yourself!

It was because she was willing to jump into the sea for Lu Zhiyuan that he discovered her resilient character and good health... Then, Lu Zhiyuan showed no mercy and immediately sent her to climb Muztagh Ata and to spend time in the polar region of Iceland!
Is this possible for humans to do?
Fortunately, I've finally made it through!

Now, it's Nazha's turn to suffer this hardship in her place!
Over the years, I've introduced so many fashion resources to Nazha; it's time for her to repay her husband on my behalf!
Thinking of this, Dilraba said meaningfully, "Honey, you don't need to worry about Nazha. She's quite healthy and should be able to withstand any hardship."

"I know."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded.

He has already decided that as long as Nazha works hard in filming, he will dedicate all the focus of the movie trailer to Nazha before the film's release.

Naza's beautiful face has become a global sensation.

When the movie is released and she walks the Oscars red carpet, Nazha's popularity will probably skyrocket.

Fashion endorsements can earn her at least tens of millions.

Moreover, his status in the domestic entertainment industry has risen directly to the top!
Yang Mi would probably be so jealous she'd vomit blood if she saw her!

It's just a few days in the water, Naza will get through it quickly and will be extremely grateful to herself!

……

Yanjing.

Naza is attending school.

She paid for an acting coach herself and is currently doing her final intensive training.

Two weeks later, she prepared to go to Los Angeles to meet up with Lu Zhiyuan.

Anyway, she's already a senior in college, so she's just wasting time in class.

Like everyone else, Nazha had absolutely no interest in filming TV dramas outside.

The main problem is that her acting skills are terrible.

The more you act, the more times you get criticized by the audience.

Moreover, the fame boost from those TV dramas is not as significant as the attention she receives from occasionally appearing alongside Lu Zhiyuan!
After all, Lu Zhiyuan is like a sun, radiating boundless light.

Being near the sun, one is naturally enveloped in its radiance and coated with a golden hue, making one appear extremely valuable!

However, once separated from the sun, others will soon discover that they are just a piece of rotten wood, impossible to carve at all.

Although many people think she's a bit silly, Nazha believes that she's wise in a seemingly foolish way!

Just bet on the right thing at the crucial moment.

How adorable it is to pretend to be stupid and clueless all the time?
"Teacher, how was my performance? Did my eyes convey a mix of love and hate, along with a sense of regret?"

Naza knew that "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was the best project she could ever get involved in in her life!

If I don't put in my best effort and miss this opportunity, I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life.

However, she really couldn't figure out the character of Shirley Yang.

Shirley Yang probably loves Hu Bayi, but because she is cursed and destined to die young, she cannot easily express her love until the curse is lifted.

Therefore, she feels regret when the night is quiet.

There is also some resentment towards one's own fate.

Of course, normally, Shirley Yang, as a tomboy like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, wouldn't easily show such weak emotions.

She would only occasionally reveal a glimpse of her true inner feelings when she saw Hu Bayi.

Such vulnerability is fleeting, yet it tugs at the heartstrings of the audience... Naza suspects that even if Zhou Xun were to play the role, she probably wouldn't be able to portray it convincingly.

If this could be acted out, it would be straight into acting textbooks!

"Nazha, you'd better stop posing."

The teacher shook his head very sincerely and sighed: "You can't master pantomime at all. Let's think of another way."

"what?"

Naza suddenly became anxious and said in distress, "What should I do? If I can't portray this feeling, Brother Yuan will be very disappointed in me!"

The teacher thought for a moment and said, "Nazha, after spending some time with you, I've come to understand your personality a bit. To be honest, you can't portray such complex emotions. Why don't you try to switch the character's mindset?"

How about we swap them out?
Nazha blinked, realizing what she was getting into, and became serious: "Teacher, please continue! I'm almost there!"

The teacher smiled and continued, "Nazha, you are the most innocent student I have ever met. Your thinking is quite direct. You can't love someone, hate someone, and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. You can't act out such complex emotions."

"Let's switch the roles... You've fallen in love with someone, but that person loves someone else. You want to confess your feelings to him with all your might, but he mentions someone else's name in front of you."

"Imagine this scenario, how would you feel?"

After the teacher finished speaking, Nazha mentally simulated the situation and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Then I must be very sad. Sister Dilraba just arrived a little earlier than me. I can do everything she can do. Brother Yuan is not good either. He clearly knows how I feel, but he always ignores me. It makes me really hate him."

Don't tell anyone!

I don't want to know about your relationship!

Upon hearing this, the teacher immediately interrupted, saying, "In short, just get the hang of it. Think about it more, savor it, especially late at night when it's quiet. The more you think about it, the more upset and regretful you'll feel. It's a mix of love and hate. Try to truly understand it!"

The teacher didn't want to know anything about Lu Zhiyuan's love life, lest he cause himself trouble.

She also wanted to use Nazha to let Lu Zhiyuan know that there was a teacher at the school who was not very old but had an outstanding teaching ability.

With such strong teaching abilities, need I say more about her acting skills?

Next time, if Lu Zhiyuan needs a middle-aged woman role, won't her opportunity come?

"Teacher, I think I'm getting the hang of it!"

The more Nazha pondered it, the more she felt a mix of love and hate, and regret.

At this moment, this complex emotion was directly conveyed through her eyes!

"Okay, hold on! That's the look in your eyes!"

Upon seeing this, the teacher immediately clapped and said, "Nazha, I suggest you buy a plane ticket to Los Angeles right now and show that look to Director Lu. I believe he will look at you in a new light."

The teacher just wanted to prove his teaching ability.

Naza's gaze—how long will it last? She has no idea. She'd better let Lu Zhiyuan see it while it's still fresh.

"Teacher, thank you. You teach so well, much better than Zhou Xun!"

Zhou Xun only taught her for a few days, and as soon as Lu Zhiyuan left, she just abandoned the job and ran away. When Nazha called Zhou Xun, there was no signal on the other end.

In such a vast country as China, Nazha couldn't even imagine where there would be no signal.
The only answer is that Zhou Xun must have bought a signal jammer and put her phone inside it, deliberately trying not to talk to me.

……

Los Angeles.

Lu Zhiyuan was unable to film until the LED virtual production digital studio was fully constructed.

During this period of time, although he was a little anxious, there was nothing he could do but wait at home.

Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan seemed quite happy.

Although Lu Zhiyuan couldn't be completely impartial in his heart, he tried his best to maintain a balance in terms of quantity.

For example, he would sleep with Reba on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays if she ate meat, and with Gao Yuanyuan on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays if she ate vegetarian food.

A balanced diet of meat and vegetables. On the weekend, he takes a break and eats some seafood to replenish his energy!
During this period, Jing Tian would come to Lu Zhiyuan's house every few days to have dinner together.

At first, Lu Zhiyuan was wary that Jing Tian might suddenly turn on him.

But gradually, he realized he was overthinking things.

Jing Tian's volatile temper has somehow subsided a lot lately. Perhaps she has matured overnight.

In short, Lu Zhiyuan enjoys this peaceful life!

"Ah Yuan, I've read the novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' so many times, it's driving me crazy. I still don't know how you plan to adapt it into a film?"

After dinner, the family sat in the courtyard outside and chatted casually.

Jing Tian couldn't help but wonder what special thoughts Lu Zhiyuan had in mind.

The main problem is that Jing Tian can't find any other topics to chat about with Lu Zhiyuan... If they talk about personal topics, Lu Zhiyuan will most likely turn around and leave.

Therefore, she could only talk about work.

"Honey, how do you want to film this? Tell us!"

This topic not only interested Jing Tian, ​​but also Reba and Gao Yuanyuan.

"Son, since you're free anyway, why don't you tell us what you've been up to lately?"

Even Lu Zhiyuan's mother brought over a stool at this moment.

It must be said that Lu Zhiyuan's work has aroused great interest among everyone.

Artistic creation may seem simple at first glance, but not everyone has this mindset!

And this kind of thinking is often the most valuable!
"What do you think is the most important thing in a good visual blockbuster?"

Lu Zhiyuan did not answer, but instead asked everyone a question.

"Cool special effects?"

"Is the plot particularly exciting?"

"A superstar?"

"A super IP like Marvel?"

Everyone said whatever came to mind; since they were just chatting at home, no one would laugh at them for saying something wrong.

“You’re all right. These are all important. But they’re not the most important. Most Hollywood movies have these kinds of things.”

In Lu Zhiyuan's mind, all of these elements are essential for a successful Hollywood movie.

But with so many Hollywood movies, why do some only gross $500-600 million while others gross over $1 billion?

Faced with the curious gazes of others, Lu Zhiyuan didn't keep them in suspense any longer and revealed his answer: "It's a visual label!"

That was indeed the answer!
No one was surprised by this answer.

The people present were absolutely the ones who understood Lu Zhiyuan better than anyone else in the world!
He frequently uses the term "visual label".

"Avatar is still the highest-grossing film of all time, and its success is due to the creation of the unique planet Pandora!"

"The reason why our 'Real Steel 3' was able to reach $16 billion at the box office is because we created a planetary ecosystem near a black hole!"

"And then there's 'Jurassic Park,' which created a world of dinosaurs that captivated audiences."

"These films all have one thing in common: they create a unique world for the audience. Viewers can experience a completely new way of life as if they were actually there!"

As soon as Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, everyone present fell into deep thought.

It must be said that Lu Zhiyuan's words make a lot of sense!

The movies he just mentioned are the pinnacle of science fiction cinema.

These films do indeed have their own unique visual signature.

As for the cool special effects, exciting plot, and superstars they mentioned earlier, these are all the foundation of a movie!

Movies with a production cost of over $1 million will all have these elements.

At this moment, Jing Tian raised her head, looked at Lu Zhiyuan with bright eyes, and asked with some anticipation, "So, what kind of visual brand are you planning to create for 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'?"

That jerk has a terrible personality and a bad temper, but he's really talented!

Even if the plot of his movies is unremarkable, the special effects alone can spark the audience's imagination.

It's because he always places special effects in the most appropriate places, creating a virtual world for the audience that is infinitely close to reality!
He is absolutely one of the world's top visual artists!

"I won't answer that question now. Let me ask you a few more questions."

Lu Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously and looked at everyone.

"Have you ever considered... that another civilization might have existed on Earth? For example, ancient myths might not be just legends, but could actually have existed!"

"However, this is a different form of civilization, which modern humans have no way of knowing about."

"Just like in Real Steel 3, those Apostle monsters and those dwarves coexist on Planet RT-3."

"Clearly, these are two different civilizations."

"Under normal circumstances, over time, those apostle monsters would either be kept as pets by the more advanced civilization of the dwarves, or they would become extinct."

They've all watched the Real Steel series several times!

Dilraba and Jing Tian are still among the main characters!

They were, of course, very familiar with the situation on planet RT-3.

Lu Zhiyuan's words sparked a wave of speculation among the attendees: "You mean, there might have been several civilizations on Earth in the past. Not all of them were human civilizations, but there were also some mythological civilizations?"

"However, mythological civilization is a form of civilization that we cannot understand now."

If all the Apostle monsters were wiped out.

Thousands of years later, when people discover the remains they left behind, they probably still won't be able to understand them.

Realizing this, everyone suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

"I was just using an analogy."

Lu Zhiyuan did not delve deeper into this area.

He's just making movies, not conducting scientific research. As long as the concepts are ambiguous enough and only slightly suggestive, it's enough to pique the audience's interest.

Clearly, his casual analogy sparked great interest among the family members.

"Don't look at me like that."

"The movie 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' isn't a tomb raiding story, but it's not a mythological story either... What I want to film is the trio of main characters searching for the truth of an ancient civilization."

"And what is the truth?"

"The author of the novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' didn't write it, so of course I don't know."

"I can only give the audience some hints through the movie's plot and visual tags."

"As for this visual tag... I eliminated many options and finally decided to use artifacts from the Sanxingdui civilization as the visual tag for this film!"

Since 2012, archaeological work at Sanxingdui has gradually uncovered important cultural relics, including the foundations of large houses at Qingguanshan and several sections of city walls.

However, the Sanxingdui civilization has not been particularly popular in recent years.

In another time and space, around 2021, the Sanxingdui civilization conducted a large-scale archaeological excavation, discovering six sacrificial pits and unearthing heavyweight artifacts such as a bronze sacred tree, a gold mask, a gold scepter, and ivory, which caused a sensation around the world!
The ancient Shu Kingdom, represented by the Sanxingdui civilization, existed approximately 3000 years ago.

This happened to be the era of King Mu of Zhou!

This was a coincidence for Lu Zhiyuan.

However, through the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend," he can create an ambiguous connection between the civilizations in these underground palaces and the Queen Mother of the West, who appeared during the reign of King Mu of Zhou.

How do we establish contact?

As a film, it naturally needs visual appeal!
For example, the bronze sacred tree, the gold mask, the gold scepter, and so on... These are some of the artifacts unearthed at Sanxingdui.

No text prompts are needed at all.

If viewers see the same things in two movies, they will naturally make connections.

In the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend," the three main characters discover treasures from the Sanxingdui civilization, dating back 3000 years, in underground palaces such as the Jingjue Ancient City, the Yunnan Insect Valley, and the Kunlun Shrine.

Clearly, this civilization disappeared suddenly.

So why did this unique Sanxingdui civilization suddenly disappear 3000 years ago?

The entire film will be a story about exploring a lost civilization.

It elevated the overall quality of the film countless times!
In addition, if the movie becomes a hit, people will naturally discover that the visual symbols used by Lu Zhiyuan in the movie all come from the Sanxingdui civilization.

From a certain perspective, he has also promoted Chinese culture.

"Avatar created the ecosystem of Pandora. My idea is to try to create an ancient civilization from 3000 years ago in the underground labyrinth of Mojin: The Lost Legend."

If "Mojin: The Lost Legend" were just made into a tomb raiding movie, it would be too small-minded!

This isn't Lu Zhiyuan's style!

He aims to construct a complete, mythical-like ancient civilization ecosystem through these copies.

Glowing plants, suspended deep underground, and special islands powered by magnetic fields.

There is also the [Evil Luo Sea City] inside the Kunlun Mountains, where time and space are distorted.

The scenes for exploring the underground palace cannot be created like the original movie, which depicts a dark underground tomb.

The three main characters entering the underground labyrinth simply to rob tombs or find some treasure is too petty.

Lu Zhiyuan hopes to create a fantastical, bizarre, yet magnificent underground world in the film!
Only by creating a realistic and captivating world can a large enough audience be attracted.

The most crucial element of a good work, whether it's literature or film, is that it constructs a world that looks realistic enough!
"Ah Yuan, could you add a role for me? Just a cameo, like showing my face."

After listening to Lu Zhiyuan's description of "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Jing Tian felt that the movie sounded promising.

Such a good movie should not violate the "content" formula!
1% [content of sweetness], those who know, know!

She's sacrificing her own reputation to give Lu Zhiyuan's movie a boost. Hopefully, this bastard won't be ungrateful!

Otherwise, I won't be coming to your house for dinner this week!
"sure!"

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it and realized that if Jing Tian wanted to be the female lead in his movie, he would be in a real bind.

However, as a minor, functional character, Jing Tian is very useful.

Because, through his efforts, Jing Tian has become almost the world's most high-end supporting character.

Her public persona is just too fixed!
He's a super big shot!

She can't act in any other roles at all.

The audience can no longer accept it.

Just like Wang Yaoqing, no matter what role he plays, except for playing a rich person, the audience finds it very difficult to stay immersed in the story.

Wang Yaoqing is a little better off, since he's not very well-known and can occasionally make cameo appearances in movies.

Jing Tian won't do!

If she plays other roles, audiences worldwide won't accept her!

Some viewers even came up with a formula for "content of sweetness".

This formula spread all over the world as international students went abroad, and for a time it became a laughing stock!

"Tian Tian, ​​I was still struggling with how to design the Easter eggs in this movie so that they would be ambiguous in the plot, making the audience talk about it and want to watch it two or three times to solve the mystery?"

"Seeing you gave me an instant inspiration!"

At this moment, the content of the Easter egg had already appeared in Lu Zhiyuan's mind.

After their adventure, the three main characters returned safely. Meanwhile, the Kunlun Divine Palace collapsed, and the city of Evil Luo Sea vanished.

A mysterious black stone fell silently at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and was picked up by a pair of dark hands.

Here, we absolutely cannot show specific faces.

This character must be imbued with an air of mystery.

Not long after, this mysterious stone appeared in Jing Tian's hands.

Jing Tian sat on an old, elegant high-backed chair, her back to the audience, revealing her beautiful jawline and half of her delicate profile.

In this scene, the lighting should be dimmed so that half of Jing Tian's face remains hidden in darkness.

The lighting effects in this scene should be studied in the Godfather's entrance scene in "The Godfather".

Appropriate shading can make a character appear mysterious and enigmatic.

Jing Tian doesn't need any lines.

Because in the very next second, slivers of light began to flicker on a huge wall behind her.

It turned out there was a specially made world map on the wall.

At this very moment, multiple points of light have lit up in places like Egypt, South America, and Easter Island, where lost civilizations still exist.

……

What do these highlights represent? The audience will surely keep guessing.

They might even speculate about Jing Tian's role in the film.
Is he a special figure from a mythological civilization hidden within the human world? Or does he possess some other, more prestigious identity?

Do those bright spots mean that a lost civilization exists in that place, or that there are special underground palaces?
Regardless of what the audience guesses... under normal circumstances, it can boost the film's box office!

For a film, a film that cannot spark controversy is not a good film.

Such ambiguous plot points would likely be criticized if placed in the main film, but placing them in the post-credits scene obviously helps spread public opinion!

Lu Zhiyuan had played it countless times and knew very well the effect of this kind of Easter egg!

"Want to come to my place tonight?"

After listening to Lu Zhiyuan's description, Jing Tian suddenly felt the same way she did when she played Miss T back then, and her mood was so wonderful that she felt like she could fly.

She loves playing these kinds of roles!
It exudes an aura of dominance, mystery, and boundless nobility.

Most importantly, this kind of role requires absolutely no acting skills. She just needs to sit there calmly and show her face.

Her face is the best acting in the world!

As for the rest...

Lu Zhiyuan automatically matched her with the right atmosphere, lighting, plot, and the complex emotions the characters conveyed!

That's what acting is all about!
What kind of stuff did other directors take her to make...?

In an instant, Jing Tian felt that she had fallen in love with Lu Zhiyuan all over again.

That bastard is really talented. What a miserable life I've had since I left him.

Despite working hard every day to film, every single one of his projects flops!

Jing Tian was certain that those directors weren't really playing a trick on her!

After all, she got smarter later on, and now she only gets 20% of the director's fee upfront as a deposit. How much she gets later depends on how well the show turns out after it airs.

Those directors who come to start filming aren't just after her deposit; they want to take her full salary.

Unfortunately, those directors were really not good enough!
It has to be our robot that knows the right way to open me!
