Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

“Sci-fi movie?” After listening to Hong Dali’s words, Ding Chengzhi said strangely, “Our film has always been a martial arts film. Didn’t you see the promo clip that we gave you?”

“I thought it was a transmigration-type drama. Who thought you would name an ancient martial arts film‘Wind Pursuer’!” Hong Dali frantically said, “I thought it was some kind of special person who can control the wind! That’s why I said I wanted to change the name to‘The Gale Flash’!”

“This… what should I do?” Ding Chengzhi was also depressed. “Then what should we name it?”

“Where is your director?” Hong angrily said, “Ask him to see me.”

They were eating and living off Young Master; therefore, they had to do whatever he asked. Ding Chengzhi shouted to a bearded man whose clothing had a lot of pockets. “Director! Young Master Dali is here and has something to say!” After saying so, he hurriedly introduced. “This is our director, Lin Hao, Director Lin.”

“AHHH—” Upon hearing that Hong Dali had arrived, Lin Hao, who was lecturing an actor, ran over. When he saw Hong Dali, he immediately grabbed Hong Dali hands and kept shaking them. “Oh, Young Master, I was really dying to see you! I have heard your name long ago, and I have finally seen you in person today. This is an honor, an honor indeed!”

“…” Hong Dali: “My hand has gone numb…”

“Oh, sorry, sorry.” Lin Hao hurriedly let go of his hand, embarrassed. “I’m too excited, too excited, hehe.” He shouted towards the filming scene, “Young Master is here. Everyone, take a break. You and you, bring over some stools and the umbrella over!”

Mu Zixiao remembered his master’s words and rushed out and pulled out the sunshade directly. He ran back to Hong Dali’s side and stood like an iron pillar, his attitude was full of solicitously and sincerity. The nine lackeys at the side saw this and took in deep breaths. He was fighting with them for their job!

By this time, some actors who moved over a few stools. After Hong Dali pulled Tang Muxin with him to sit down, Lin Hao actually took out a bunch of snacks from his pocket and smilingly said, “Young Master, these snacks were brought back from all over as per my request. Please taste it.” Hong Dali was an authentic God of Wealth—he could easily throw out millions of yuan with just a word. As a director, Lin Hao naturally understood what to do.

“Reward!” Hong Dali said. “5000!”

The lackey walked forth and again—PAPAPA—counted out the money. “Young Master’s reward!”

“Thank you, Young Master!” Lin Hao smiled till his eyes folded and kept the money, then obsequiously asked, “What commands do Young Master have for me?”

“Well, nothing much, just that this movie is not in line with its name.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “This way, shoot a scene. I will see if there is anything that can be changed.”

“OK!” Lin Hao took the script and introduced today’s plot. “We’re filming the outdoor scene today. The protagonist escaped, fainted in this forest, and halfway along the way, he will be rescued by a female hero. So then it would make sense for them to fall in love.”

“What an old fashioned plot…” Hong Dali twitched his lips and muttered, “No wonder the box office couldn’t go up…”

Since it was the God of Wealth who spoke, the whole crew naturally did not dare to neglect, so they started shooting.

This was a naturally grown forest, silent and quiet, and there were occasional screams of beasts around. And from time to time, there were roars of wild wolves, causing the atmosphere to appear empty yet dangerous.

As the camera moved slowly on the track, shooting the surrounding environment, a guy whose forehead was covered with sweat held a whiteboard, which was to make the light more inefficient during refraction so that the pictures would not produce chromatic aberration.

After a while, the protagonist, who was wearing ancient times costume, stumbled out into the picture, panting heavily. With his clothes stained with blood, he looked very discomposed as he ran and covered a part of his body with his hands. That must be the place in the plot where he was injured.

The actor was quite handsome, but his handsome face was carefully dressed in make-up. Combined with his messy hair, he looked depressed and down. This was obviously to please the female audience—after all, women were all very sentimental and easy to raise the mind to protect the weak.

At this time, Director Lin Hao whispered, “His name is Shen Guanghe. Before that, in some TV dramas, he acted as the younger brother of the heroines, or the protagonist’s trusted friend, and so on. I think he has the face, which is quite suitable for this film. So, I asked him to be the protagonist.”

“I see. He’s acceptable.” Hong Dali cocked his legs and sat on the stool. Touching his chin, he said, “His looks are OK.” Saying so, Hong Dali turned his head and looked Mu Zixiao who was standing holding the sunshade. “Old Xiao, I think you’re much more handsome than this kid.”

Mu Zixiao smiled and said, “Not really, not really.”

Lin Hao also carefully looked at Mu Zixiao and nodded. “He is indeed a lot more handsome than Shen Guanghe, but he does not match the character of the protagonist. A pity, a pity.” Saying so, he shook his head, not forgetting to pick one of the snacks on the table.

At this time, Shen Guanghe ran a few more steps, and then fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

A braided man at the side shouted, “OK. Bao Feng, you’re up next. Go!”

“…” Hong Dali went silent. The female lead was called Bao Feng?

Sure enough, a woman with a heroic spirit ran from a distance, saw a man on the ground, and suddenly yelled, “Ah!” Then, she rushed forward to help him, not forgetting to shout, “What happened to you? Wake up, wake up!”

She shook him for a while, then Shen Guanghe slowly opened his eyes and weakly said, “Thank… thank you, miss…” and then passed out.

Lin Hao shouted, “Okay, that’s it! Stop!”

“…” Hong was stunned. In the end, he turned to look at Lin Hao. “This is what you filmed for 15 million?”

“Ah?” After listening to Hong’s words, Lin Hao wiped the cold sweat on his head and carefully asked, “Not… not OK?”

“It’s not only not OK!” Hong Dali angrily rapped the table. “Do you thinking you’re fooling some children? Is this story for people to see? Is this something that you suddenly thought of and decided to start filming just like that!?”

Lin Hao was a well-known big director. After listening to Hong Dali’s words, he was quite dissatisfied. He thought in his mind,If you don’t have any money, do you think that you can be better than me in filming?

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but couldn’t say it out loud. Lin Hao carefully asked, “Then, according to Young Master, how should we change the plot?”

Hong Dali said, “The man ran here. It’s OK to faint, but did the woman drop out of the sky? She happened to meet the protagonist just like that? The man has to at least struggle for a while, meet a little fox and the like, follow it and find a cave, and then in there, find a statue of a fairy, leave the cave, and just happen to see the fairy take a bath in the lake or something, right!?”
