Graduation Project Stolen? She Reports the Technology Package to the State Instead

(Liu Yun Series 2) No CP + Entertainment + Technology

As soon as she arrived, her graduation project was stolen, and she was branded as an imposter. She retaliated by reporting it, and...

Chapter 263 Almost Choked to Death

Improving professional skills is not only the most urgent task, but also the only thing artists can do.

There are too few external factors involved. Agents can only find out the audition time and location, and which roles are available.

Fortunately, there are only so many famous characters in the prehistoric world, so even if the script hasn't been released yet, you can still learn about them. If you're interested, you can collect some information and start preparing.

Opportunity always favors those who have it.

Soon, the news spread beyond the industry, reaching audiences and fans outside the industry.

The fans were thrilled and spread the news far and wide.

"Oh dear, why do I always feel that Director Liu has too much free time?"

"Yeah, yeah, haven't worked for two months!"

"If we all crowdfund, can we lock Director Liu in a dark room and make her film every day?"

"Director Liu, even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this. They should have been back at work a long time ago."

"Tsk tsk... You're all a bunch of landlords, but I'm different. I'm worried about Director Liu's health... So, that 'Primordial Era' thing, is it finished filming? Come on, let's rest after we finish filming!"

A group of onlookers: ...almost choked to death.

This generation of fans knows how to speak.

However, jokes aside, this group is the kind of people who blindly support it.

Even if Liu Yun's next movie is a complete mess, they'll probably still support her.

To truly bring them to their senses, we'd probably have to feed them shit countless times—what's commonly known as brainless fanaticism.

There's also a group that only cares about the artwork itself.

They also whispered among themselves in their own circles.

"Have you heard? Is it true or false? I do feel hungry again."

"I'm hungry too. What's Director Liu busy with? Is he busy with the company?"

"Yun Zhao Company is so big, it shouldn't need Director Liu to do everything personally!"

"President Liu's debut time is still too short. Although she produces works very quickly, she doesn't generate much fan content!"

"The primordial world, is it the primordial world I know?"

"Yeah, the novel's themes and settings have been overused, yet they're still a rare find in film and television."

"Tell me, there's a thriving industry right in front of us, but the domestic entertainment industry just won't pick it, always saying it's not allowed by the higher-ups. Are they just fooling the audience?"

"Yes, yes, although President Liu does have connections and background, it's impossible for him to keep changing his mind about the State Administration's policies all the time!"

"Yeah, how can the General Administration tolerate this? I don't understand."

"To be honest, after jumping around so much, some of the constraints have loosened up!"

“We outsiders will never know what’s really going on inside the industry, but at least with Director Liu around, both his works and Yun Zhao’s works seem to have gained a lot of vitality.”

"I've heard that other companies have also made significant changes, but they're not releasing their work as quickly."

"It is said that learning naked-eye 3D also took some time. Some purely perfunctory works such as TV dramas and short dramas were directly shelved. Relatively speaking, the quality has been improved and a lot more effort has been put into them, but they are not coming out so quickly."

"It was ridiculous before. The actors were not only unskilled, but their faces were also unwatchable. The plot was even worse. They paid money to buy the copyright to their own story and then insisted that the plot of the novel was unsuitable for filming. It was truly shocking."

"I really don't understand this industry."

"I guess they're just taking advantage of the fact that people outside the industry don't understand... Well, actually I think they're treating the audience like idiots."

"On the one hand, they want viewers to contribute to the ratings and spend money to make money at the box office, and on the other hand, they call us stupid and ignorant. Are we viewers some kind of cheap people?"

"Yeah, it's even less respectful than those films made specifically to make money back then."

"If someone makes a film to make money, at least it should have some merits to attract viewers. These days, they have nothing to offer, just hype. Even the promotional material is uninteresting. What kind of money are they trying to make?"

"It's a scheme to rip off fools."

"..."

As we talked, the topic drifted off course, and it took us a long time to realize it.

"No, aren't we talking about the prehistoric era? If this is what Director Liu is going to film, I'm really both excited and scared."

"I have to say, this subject matter is still new in the film and television industry; it seems like no one has filmed it before."

"Previously, we only read excerpts. We rarely talked about things like Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, or the Lich King and the Demon King. We didn't even mention the Three Pure Ones."

"Hehe, I'm not trying to criticize these entertainment companies, but even if you write a good script for them, would they dare to film it? Would they even be able to make it?"

"Even laymen can imagine how powerful the special effects need to be. Those five-cent special effects are really not worth making, so as not to ruin everyone's imagination."

"Indeed, the Loulan City in 'Hua Xia II' really stunned me, haha, it's hard to tell the difference between reality and fiction. If they were to film a prehistoric era movie based on this standard, I would have a lot to look forward to."

"Hehe, so you've got a lot of expectations. Director Liu has always been very generous with special effects. Just think, if other entertainment companies could make movies that profitable, they would be willing to spend the money too."

"Hehe, not necessarily. They might just feel like they're not earning enough."

"Don't overestimate the investment psychology of capital..."

Other entertainment companies: ...No, let's talk, why do we always have to bring them along?

Liu Yun has exposed their true colors.

They've made changes, but the production team's operations are already established. How many people have the confidence to remain undisturbed?

General Administration: ...That's right, even if they were full, they didn't impose so many restrictions. It's purely a misunderstanding by the people below.

There are too many rumors; they can't possibly clarify every single one!

Therefore, the entertainment industry today is, to put it another way, quite chaotic.

Everyone wants to be the next Liu Yun. Even if it's not as big as Yunzhao Company, at least you can make your own decisions about your own production team.

There will be people who will fight and strive for it.

However, without the financial backing and the confidence to produce good works, how can one possibly break through the blockade of capital?

There are a lot of social niceties involved, and a lot of betting agreements are signed, but nine out of ten of them fail to succeed.

The changes are only on a small scale.

Of course, many investors, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have realized that making money is indeed difficult because of Liu Yun's appearance.

They've also paid more attention to investing in the entertainment industry.

They're envious, especially since the "Huaxia" series is making so much money!

Even if I don't earn that much, one-fifth or one-tenth would be great!

Those who are eager to make a living will take the opportunity to make demands; less interference is better than anything else.

The requirements for actors' professional skills have also increased. Step by step, although slowly, the industry is indeed changing.

In particular, Yunzhao Company set a good example for them.

Some works not filmed by Liu Yun have also been released one after another, and major TV stations are scrambling to buy them, driving up prices significantly.

Of course, the viewership ratings did not disappoint.

The costumes, props, and sets are all good, the plot isn't terrible anymore, and the actors have regained much of their visual appeal, so at least the audience is willing to take a look.
