The Hong Kong director simply abandoned the project and left, leaving behind a mess.

Tang Qian urgently convened a meeting with the film crew.

Tang Qian knew that He Tiantian had a lot of ideas, so he specifically asked He Tiantian to come over.

He Tiantian happened to be free, so she came over.

Huo Yingjie had nothing to do on the weekend, so he took the kids out to play and waited for He Tiantian outside.

Tang Qian, Li Xian, He Tiantian, and the director of the production team were all present.

Tang Qian looked at everyone and asked, "What are your thoughts now? If you have any good suggestions, please share them. The production team spends money every day, and stopping for even a day would result in huge losses. We can't afford to wait any longer."

The young assistant directors dared not speak.

Because they had never directed an independent film before, they were hesitant and dared not speak up, since this was the company's first film and it was related to the entire company's operations.

“It’s not appropriate for us to invite film directors now. Every director has their own style, especially some of the older directors in China, who all have fixed patterns. We chose directors from Hong Kong and younger directors before because we wanted to make something different,” He Tiantian said. “Now that the Hong Kong directors have left, and we’re left with you three young directors, Mr. Tang and I don’t want to find any other directors. We really appreciate what we made before, so I hope the three of you can work together to make the second half, and ideally, continue the style of the first half.”

Tang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher He's idea is the same as mine. You three can speak up if you have any ideas. If there are any difficulties, we can solve them together."

One of the male directors, Chen Jianfeng, said, "I'm afraid we won't do a good job and will disappoint you and Teacher He."

“I visited the set before and saw how hard you all worked, staying up late every day. You must have learned a lot from being with Li Daqi in Hong Kong,” Tang Qian said. “I would rather slow down the pace than change the style.”

The Snake King, having hit the director and made a mistake, had been too afraid to speak up until he heard the young director's words. He finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Why are you three so stubborn! I saw with my own eyes on set that many of your ideas and scenes were actually yours, but that fat guy took them and used them, then reprimanded you in a sarcastic tone. You're not stupid, don't you know what's going on? It was my mistake to beat up that director, I don't deny that, but people like that deserve to be hit. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's up to you to choose."

The three of them listened, looked at each other, and saw hope and passion in each other's eyes.

Another young assistant director, Lu Yong, nodded and said, "The film we're making this time is indeed very different from our previous ones. If it's well-made, it might have a groundbreaking impact in mainland China. If the two bosses trust us, I can give it a try."

"Let's do it!" Qin Shuang said crisply. "Actually, most of the trendy parts in the movie are our own ideas. The new director just added some Hong Kong elements, and it's different from those Hong Kong movies. Since President Tang and Teacher He are so determined to make a groundbreaking martial arts film, why can't we, a few college students who haven't even graduated yet, give it our all? My father works at a film studio. You have no idea how much effort and procedures it takes to prepare for a movie. We're so young, and with such an opportunity, we must cherish it."

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, He Tiantian was very happy. She hadn't misjudged this girl; she had a lot of drive.

“Qin Shuang is right,” He Tiantian said. “This company is very important to us, but it’s also very important to you. Let’s work together to make the movie. Use your imagination and make it as perfect as possible. My cousin, who is trained by a famous master, can provide more visually appealing and aggressive martial arts moves. My friend, who is also another shareholder, will design the most elegant and stylish costumes. We have the youngest and most energetic boss and employees. As long as we use our imagination and abilities, we will definitely succeed.”

The three young people were greatly encouraged.

The Snake King laughed and said, "Alright, let's begin now and work together."

After that, He Tiantian didn't have the energy to follow up on these matters. Tang Qian and Snake King had poured a lot of energy and enthusiasm into this movie.

However, when they encounter difficulties, they will come to discuss them with He Tiantian, and when they encounter some technical problems, they will go to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie can usually handle it; if he can't, he'll help find someone to handle it.

At the beginning, the three young directors were hesitant and the progress was somewhat slow, and many actors were skeptical.

However, as the three young directors gradually improved and worked together, they were finally able to make films that were similar in style to their previous works, and even more exciting.

Tang Qian was very happy and often encouraged them.

Although Qin Shuang is a girl, she is actually the most central person among them. Her ingenious ideas always achieve excellent results, making her the de facto leader of the three.

However, Qin Shuang is very busy every day in order to do this.

Even at night, I only sleep for two or three hours.

The Snake King was impressed by Qin Shuang's small stature, yet she was able to unleash such great energy on set.

Three whole months have passed, and the entire movie has actually been filmed.

Next comes the editing.

This time, Qin Shuang and the three directors personally edited the footage bit by bit to ensure that the plot was complete and vivid, while also taking into account the vividness and beauty of the visuals.

Adhering to the principle of keeping the benefits within the family, the theme song was sung by Qi Xiaoyan, while the background music and interludes were sung by other singers.

After the sample footage was edited out, Tang Qian called over the three directors and all the board members to take a look.

If there are no problems, then we can start the review process.

The application was approved, which is just in time for the New Year's Day release.

Several people arrived at the screening room, all very excited, as this was a film to which everyone had poured their hearts and souls.

The movie screen was filled with a starry sky, and the words "Tang Dynasty Media" appeared, getting bigger and bigger. It was the name of their company.

The long takes are spectacular and grand; the close-ups are incredibly detailed; the character portrayals are vivid and nuanced…

The fight scenes, in particular, are incredibly fluid and intense... keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

He Tiantian was happy. This movie was really good, and it had reached the level of the mid-to-late 1990s in her previous life.

Everyone watched with great interest, captivated by the plot.

The 100-minute movie ended, and the lights in the screening room came on.

He Tiantian walked up to Qin Shuang and the others and said, "Very good, very good, you will become famous directors."
