As the moonlight deepened, the sounds of snoring rose and fell in the dormitory of the educated youth. Some people covered their ears, unable to fall asleep. But no matter what, the educated youth's life in the countryside had just begun.

With a rooster's crow, the sun rose as usual.

[Haha, go watch the live stream from Wujia Village!]

【what happens?】

[In Wujia Village, there's a cow, and an NPC is specifically assigned to manage it. The other educated youths find the work incredibly tiring and think watching the cow plow the fields is an easy job, so they want to take its place. Hahaha]

【Then what?!】

[While the NPC was being called away by the village chief, one of the educated youths tried to herd the cow, imitating the NPC. The cow completely ignored him, so two other educated youths came to help, and the three of them pushed the cow from behind. Then the cow farted, covering all three of them in poop! Hahahaha!!!]

[Hahaha, I just saw three people covered in poop, they were so pathetic, hahaha, they even had poop on their faces, I feel like I can't even keep my face.]

The three little poop-loving children, who had been the focus of much attention, were standing by the roadside, being splashed with warm water in ceramic basins by the village chief and other NPCs. They looked down and smelled their clothes, wishing they didn't have them anymore, but these were all the clothes they had. It was heartbreaking.

They never imagined this cow would be so difficult to handle; the NPC seemed so easy to control.

Meanwhile, Fang Hongxia, who raises pigs in Xiejia Village, has been flattered by countless contestants recently, because the novel describes digging pig feed as an easy and lucrative job!

As a result, Fang Hongxia became the most sought-after contestant among the educated youth who went to the countryside. Fang Hongxia was so bothered by the constant stream of people that she felt even the pigs in the pigsty couldn't keep up with their noise.

Why not just open recruitment and have a competition to see who can find the most and best pig feed?

Now the educated youth were eager to compete, and Niu Baoguo joined the competition amidst the glares of the other educated youth.

"Just kidding, who hasn't heard of this good job?" Niu Baoguo thought to himself. He was used to pastoral life, but he didn't like doing such heavy farm work every day. Okay.

Fang Hongxia looked at the baskets of these people and sighed deeply. None of these people recognized pig feed. What was in all these baskets?! Some even had poisonous mushrooms mixed in, and herbs that would hurt if touched. No, the village NPCs would go up the mountain to clear these poisonous mushrooms and herbs every now and then. She really didn't know where these people had picked them from.

Unsurprisingly, no one was accepted.

The educated youth kept turning back as they left, trying to move Fang Hongxia with their eyes.

Fang Hongxia dared not be moved at all; if even one of these people were let in, her workload would increase dramatically.

[Haha, Fang Hongxia looks so worried. Out of all these older people, there's not a single one who's capable.]

[Haha, that goose on the mountain is really something! It single-handedly fought off the educated youth, and not a single one dared to approach. Even the newly hatched goslings, still trembling as they walked, already showed signs of ferocity.]

I saw someone in the next village who's really good at it; he hit several rabbits with a slingshot. I'm so envious!

[A few people in Li Family Village are planning to build a brick factory, just like in the novel! It seems quite interesting, but it's a bit too noisy. The village NPCs are visibly looking haggard, hahaha.]

Just as the "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" segment was in full swing, with educated youth going up and down mountains and rivers in a chaotic mess, Lin Xiaoxiao's brothers and sisters had already started calling to urge the progress of the big project. Although the investment funds had been mostly spent, and the M platform hadn't made any moves yet, she still chose to hold on for now.

"The scene is still under construction, don't rush, slow and steady wins the race."

But they were in such a hurry that Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to run around to both sides at the same time, starting to look for actors in horror movies.

How can a TV series appear to have a huge budget? Lin Xiaoxiao has some experience in this area, and here are three tips: the filming locations should look expensive, the actors should look expensive, and the post-production should look expensive.

The island was specially rented for filming, so the price is bound to be higher, which is normal since it's a custom-made project.

They've also been the go-to post-production team for many blockbuster TV dramas (Feiyang Entertainment's own productions), so it's normal for their prices to be a bit higher, considering they're all well-known.

If there's an unsustainable budget, the only option is to allocate it to the actors' budget.

Lin Xiaoxiao's "big project" naturally needs to appear expensive but be actually cheap. The main point is to make it look expensive to investors; she's not some altruistic wretch who helps Lin Ruizhe make money out of kindness. She's there to drain his financial resources.

"They need to be mixed-race, preferably looking a bit foreign. But their nationality must be domestic." After all, a foreign monk is better at chanting scriptures, and a few investors would probably feel that the money was well spent just because they saw a foreign face. But they couldn't let foreigners make the money. Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she was really smart.

As for whether investors would discover the actress's nationality, she didn't believe they would be so idle as to not have preconceived notions about her foreign face and would actually investigate her nationality. Even if they did find out, she would have arguments to defend herself.

It makes investors feel like their investment has been well spent, saves Feiyang Entertainment money, and allows the lead actors in foreign dramas to be Chinese actors—it's a triple win.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then added, "We need actors who are good at foreign languages, and domestic actors also need to be good at foreign languages. If we're going to film it overseas, we won't do post-production dubbing of the Chinese version; we'll just film it directly in the foreign language."

How's the script coming along?

Zhang Erdai, He Yue, Wang Li, and Zhang Fan all nodded. "Don't worry, everything is written exactly as you said, President Lin. Let foreigners experience Chinese horror. Just you wait and see. The scripts for the first two seasons are already written, and we've divided the work so we can take turns writing the rest."
