Lin Xiaoxiao told Zhang Nan, who was about to start working, to go back and prepare for her graduation defense.

When Zhang Nan returns and finds the company gone, it's perfect timing for her to find a job. She'll be a recent graduate, so it won't delay her job search. Perfect.

After Lin Xiaoxiao had everything arranged, she called her brother in advance to boast, since the dawn of victory was just around the corner. She'd even fallen asleep watching the survival show's security cameras; surely no one was watching.

"Brother, just you wait and see this time."

When Brother Lin received the call, he raised an eyebrow. She was already asking for credit before even getting any results. Did Lin Xiaoxiao really have no interest in the Lin Group? Had he really misunderstood her before?

Meanwhile, before Lin Xiaoxiao could even rest for two days on the comfortable island, filming for the comedy war movie "Waves and Fire" was about to begin.

Lin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the title of the show. It sounded corny and didn't have any potential to be a big hit.

Looking at the actors Lin Yang and Zhang Chenxi again, the handsome man and beautiful woman looked very modern, without a trace of down-to-earth human touch, which made Lin Xiaoxiao even more satisfied.

Although she has been spending most of her time on escape reality shows lately and hasn't paid much attention to this themed drama, she still hopes that the drama can ride the wave of the two popular stars' popularity, be thoroughly criticized, boycotted by everyone, and jointly removed from the platform.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought about it. When the machine started, everyone was infected by her laughter and all showed smiles.

Lin Xiaoxiao only received the script after sitting behind the monitor when the camera started rolling. Fortunately, the production assistant and the assistant director next to her handed her the script for today's shoot. She glanced at it and felt something was off.

Didn't she request a naval battle? Why are all the scenes set in schools? Although her budget wasn't large and she didn't require big scenes, the scale of these scenes is just too small. Eighty or ninety percent of the scenes were filmed in a small school and dormitory. She's even better at saving money than her.

Saving money is good, after all, this film is invested with Lin Xiaoxiao's personal money. Every little bit saved is a little more for her. He Yue and Wang Li handled this matter very well. When the company goes bankrupt and she goes back, she will definitely find a good place for the two of them.

As Lin Xiaoxiao thought, she stared at the monitor, watching a group of young actors performing in the cramped classroom. She wondered where the teacher had come from, but the content was really good, explaining things in simple terms. He talked about the naval configurations of various countries, how to operate ships, how to load ammunition, how to lock onto targets, and so on. It was like a lecture series, which made the audience listen with great interest.

Lin Xiaoxiao even had a feeling that if she were given a warship at this point, she could already operate it herself.

The actors below also took out their vintage notebooks and quickly took notes with fountain pens. Lin Xiaoxiao felt that these people played the role of focused students very well, at least they looked convincing.

At this moment, the protagonist Lin Yang raised his hand and asked the teacher when he could practice.

Lin Xiaoxiao checked the script. It was perfect, word for word, and the timing was just right. As for her somewhat stiff body, she simply ignored it.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched as the other actors began to discuss their lines. Although there were many people and a lot of talk, none of them had made any mistakes. She nodded in satisfaction, thinking that she could leave work on time today. At this rate, the film could be completed within the expected timeframe.

The teacher's lecture was really good. She was even tempted by warships and wanted to conquer the ocean. She wondered where the extra came from. The lecture was excellent. The content of the script was exactly correct, and the teacher could even extend it to things that were not in the script, but it sounded very interesting. Even Lin Xiaoxiao, who was always very strict about the script and lines, couldn't help but relax her rules for the other party.

Of course, she wouldn't admit it; it was what she wanted to hear.

She's a rich kid now, and she might be able to buy a ship or warship in the future. So she definitely needs to learn about these things in advance, since she now has a real chance to get her hands on a warship.

Lin Xiaoxiao was even thinking that after she went back, she would buy a warship and bring this extra along. Maybe the other party would think they were experts because they spoke so knowledgeably, and give them a discount. She would be very happy.

Lin Xiaoxiao only finalized the main actors for this drama. Other extras were to be found by the production crew. After all, there are quite a few extras in every drama, and Lin Xiaoxiao certainly wouldn't review them all.

Soon the next scene began. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden benches placed on the playground outside the classroom, and then watched the students go up one after another to operate on thin air. She was a little confused. She glanced at the script again, and then at the ship made of benches.

Did she allocate such a small budget? The practical simulation class is so rudimentary? Using wooden stools for the simulation?!

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of conscience as she watched these people sit one after another in their imagined driver's seats, imagining themselves equipped with different types of shells, and then, based on the teacher's simulation of how many nautical miles ahead they spotted the enemy, simulating teamwork to engage them.

Lin Xiaoxiao's conscience was truly aching. She felt that this kind of virtual simulation was too magical. She had a premonition that it would be criticized after its release, and even guessed that some people would compare this show with the survival show across the street.

One investment is 100 million, while the other is less than a fraction of the other's. The audience will surely criticize this director to death.

Sure enough, once she thought about it, Lin Xiaoxiao's conscience stopped hurting. She even secretly laughed to herself, thinking that she was finally safe now and could go back to this wealthy family and relax!

Looking at the actors now, Lin Xiaoxiao saw them frantically trying to operate the same instrument, but each person was doing it in a different position. Coupled with the fact that the actors had never been in contact with a warship before, it looked like a silent play with sound. Everyone was trying their best, but the position of each instrument was different in the actors' imaginations, making it seem like all their efforts were in vain.

Sure enough, as the script suggested, the male lead proposed to try it out himself again, but was rejected by the practical class teacher.

Both sides presented their evidence and argued their points, but the teacher's statement that the ships were valuable and could not be used by them at will ended the conflict.

Lin Xiaoxiao had to admit that she felt the instructor's words were a subtle hint to her, suggesting that her investment was insufficient and that she should add more money.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked away from the monitor, avoiding eye contact with the teacher. It wasn't that she was afraid of the teacher's gaze, but rather that the teacher's gaze was rather intimidating. This extra was really something, trying to talk to the director. Did he even want to get a role?

Once the filming is over, we won't use her anymore. No, wait until she goes back home after filming, then we'll let her off the hook.

The scenes in the first few days mostly consisted of classes. Although they sounded interesting, Lin Xiaoxiao felt they were too wholesome and lacked any entertainment. She estimated that the audience would find them boring after the film's release.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who didn't want to go to work, would only get up by listening to interesting open lectures every day. She would start listening while eating breakfast, which made her feel like she was back in college when she encountered an open lecture at 8 a.m. She and her roommate encouraged each other to get up, bought breakfast, and arrived at the classroom on time. They would open their breakfast and start listening to the old professor on the podium talk about everything under the sun, occasionally interspersing some of the old professor's life experiences or his experiences in educating his own children.
