"I was so stupid, really! I thought that I could boost the box office with that popular young actor."
But as it turns out, if the audience doesn't like it, they just don't like it. The Great Xia sci-fi is a complete disaster, it's utterly awful.
Wu Leilei, a well-known director in the industry, was muttering to himself at this moment.
However, when his gaze fell upon the trending topic, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself:
"Come on, stop struggling. Since you chose to make a sci-fi film, it's destined to be a box office flop."
Even with the most popular young male stars right now, my movie couldn't be successful, so don't tell me you're just using the DaXia Research Institute for publicity.
But that's fine too. Once Xu Lu's Iron Man flops at the box office, I, Wu, can make a comeback..."
As he thought about it, Wu Leilei's mood gradually improved.
Looking at the trending topics, he felt as if he were seeing someone about to step into the same deep pit that he had stepped into before.
He squatted down patiently and waited for the other person to fall into the pit and come out covered in mud.
Of course, not everyone dismissed this trending topic.
In fact, Zhao Xiaomeng, who also expected 'Iron Man' to flop at the box office, felt a pang of anxiety at that moment.
In fact, just last night, she received a phone call from the United States.
The purpose of the phone call was to contact Daxu Culture through her to see if they could buy the prop armor from them.
What Zhao Xiaomeng didn't expect was...
She hadn't even figured out how to handle this yet, and the related trending topics had already appeared.
"What...what exactly happened?"
Zhao Xiaomeng looked completely bewildered.
She was already puzzled that the American agency wanted to buy a prop from the Iron Man movie.
But because he was worried about involving some secrets, and also didn't want to offend the other party.
So Zhao Xiaomeng didn't ask any more questions.
But now, seeing the trending topic, she realized that the prop armor from the Iron Man movie had actually been collected by the Great Xia Research Institute beforehand.
Moreover, judging from the announcement released by the Great Xia Research Institute, it is not difficult to see that this prop armor seems to have a high level of technological content.
This was something Zhao Xiaomeng found hard to accept.
Based on her previous understanding, it was usually the Great Xia that wanted to acquire new scientific research technologies from the United States.
But this time, the situation is completely reversed.
Research institutions in the United States actually want to acquire this technology from Great Xia.
What's even more distressing for Zhao Xiaomeng is that this involves the 'Iron Man crew,' whom she considers her rival.
She has always believed that without a strong technological foundation, it's impossible to make a good science fiction film.
The box office flops of previous science fiction films in the Great Xia Dynasty seem to prove this point.
Zhao Xiaomeng was also very clear about this.
The sci-fi films made by the directors and film companies in Daxia are primarily aimed at making money; they don't really pay much attention to the presence of sci-fi elements.
These things are less like science fiction movies and more like all sorts of random films disguised as science fiction.
This is why she has always emphasized that science fiction films are best made in the United States, and that Great Xia simply cannot produce good science fiction films.
But this time, Zhao Xiaomeng suddenly felt a little uncertain.
Because she discovered that the 'Iron Man crew' organized by Da Xu Culture seemed quite different from other sci-fi film crews!
If you're going to make a sci-fi film, then fine, just focus on some sci-fi elements.
Isn't it a bit excessive that you developed such amazing technology while filming?
...
Compared to those who don't want to see the Iron Man crew do well.
The crew members themselves were also quite shocked after seeing this trending topic.
Because they themselves experienced the scene of the prop armor being taken away today.
However, our great director Xu was rather vague at the time.
After listening, everyone was confused and didn't think deeply about many things.
But now I see that news on the trending topics list and the announcement in the content.
I then discovered that things were far more amazing than I had imagined.
It's unbelievable that an ordinary prop from our own film crew involved such advanced scientific research technology.
So, privately, the employees had already started discussing it in the group chat:
"At the time, I really thought they were just going to take it over for a bit of research."
Who knew it wasn't research at all, but just a training exercise!
"Yes, that big thing has been sitting in our crew's warehouse for quite a few days. Who would have thought it would be so important?"
"It has to be our CEO Xu. He can make big news out of nothing. You have to admire him."
"I wonder who dares to say that what we filmed isn't science fiction now?"
"A single prop is enough for the Great Xia Research Institute to study? This sci-fi is way too hard-hitting."
...
"By the way, I actually deserve some credit for the fact that the Great Xia Research Institute took a liking to that set of steel armor."
"What credit do you have? It was all created by President Xu, okay? All the credit belongs to President Xu."
"Because...because I uploaded the video of President Xu walking around in his steel armor to the internet, does that count?"
After all, if I hadn't posted it online, it wouldn't have trended on social media. And if it hadn't trended, would the Great Xia Research Institute have even bothered with it?
"Um... okay, what you said does make some sense, so I'll consider it a small contribution from you."
But even if you have made a contribution, it won't do you any good. You won't be rewarded with money, because Mr. Xu didn't make any money from the sales in the first place!
