She shuddered just looking at the name, knowing that the aftereffects of "A Hundred Years of Silence" hadn't worn off yet. To joke about it being a hundred episodes long was like dragging someone down with a dull knife.
If a script in a normal setting details a character's past, that character is likely to die.
However, "A Hundred Years of Silence" is different. After a brief introduction of the characters at the beginning, you think it's going to be a tragedy, but no one is killed off. It's not until a character dies that the protagonist pieces together the character's past experiences from their belongings and clues from other characters.
These individuals don't know each other, but they do know a few others, and they haven't revealed their past experiences to anyone else. This makes it impossible for the audience to predict who will be next, but they can sense that someone will definitely die—is it one? Two? Or all of them? It's like a slow, insidious death.
After just one holiday, Lin Xiaoxiao felt like she hadn't sat behind a monitor in a long time, and it all felt a bit unfamiliar.
Looking at the script and the actors waiting to go on stage, she realized that she had been slacking off lately.
Because several production crews were supervising the work, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't read the script carefully. She only glanced at it and noticed that the male and female leads were indeed quite miserable, so much so that she felt a little guilty.
Modern romantic comedies are filmed very quickly; it was finished in less than a month. There weren't many scenes; they were just standard locations like home and school.
After filming wrapped up, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stop. She was busy checking the domestic online release of "Chinese Horror," keeping an eye on the filming of the latest season of "Chinese Horror," and also inquiring about how much money the Li Group planned to use to acquire the M platform.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao was particularly motivated to do the last thing, since it was about doing something bad.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was supervising the construction with a smirk while simultaneously messing things up with a smirk.
After the online version of "The Sundial" was released, its reputation soared once again.
Digital TV stations even bought the copyrights to broadcast the content on television for free, and the foreign company NEX suddenly appeared and wanted to buy it.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Wasn't this supposed to be a low-budget sci-fi movie?! Why did it seem so popular?!
There must be an antidote within three steps; Lin Xiaoxiao found the answer online.
So the space station where the five astronauts were trapped in "The Sundial" was actually borrowed from the space agency?! She was wondering why that space station model looked so familiar!
Seriously?! Her staff is that capable?! They can even borrow a model of a space station?!
Lin Xiaoxiao finally understood how the second wave of popularity for "The Sundial" came about.
The cinema also called Lin Xiaoxiao hoping to bring the film back online and continue showing it in theaters.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao refused.
The Feiyang Film and Television platform has also been launched, and with such a short interval between re-releases, it seems unnecessary.
The hype is coming in waves.
She looked at the blog post from the space agency, which explained the model used in filming "The Sundial" and mentioned that they would be hosting a live broadcast to introduce the latest space technology, which would be broadcast nationwide on digital channels.
Lin Xiaoxiao also watched the live stream, which mainly introduced the construction process of the model and the main engineering designers came out to explain the difficulties encountered, etc. The whole live stream was both educational and entertaining. There were also many primary and secondary school students in the audience, and the children's questions were full of childlike fun, making the whole live stream very joyful.
Some children even asked if they might end up like the sundial, trapped in space.
Lin Xiaoxiao watched the live broadcast and saw that the model being filmed was a one-to-one replica of the real space station model. However, during filming, none of the buttons on it could be pressed; only the lights were flashing, and the only thing that could be adjusted was the lights.
My heart was pounding. Seriously? A low-budget sci-fi movie is going to be this big?
Lin Xiaoxiao's investigation into the source of the discovered model revealed that it was related to the game department.
Lin Xiaoxiao then discovered that the "Dark Cuisine" mini-game had been updated with a new paid map—the Space Station.
The space station is also a one-to-one replica of the filming location, making it a truly complete loop. However, the game's art style leans towards cartoonish, and the windows on the outside of the space station, just like in the movie, allow you to see Earth and shooting stars, with Earth also changing appearances.
Many fans of the movie "The Sundial" can also find some Easter eggs on the game's minimap. Players control a character to collect ingredients and cook dishes in the space station's planting and cargo areas.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt like vomiting blood. Seriously?! Y Platform, you scoundrel! You only sold this game for tens of millions, you're losing money hand over fist!
But are the people in the game department really that idle? No, we need to find some work for the game department, otherwise, after a few more minimap updates, the Y platform will start making money.
Her initial goal was to gain an advantage when the enemy was weak, not to actually strengthen her opponent.
On the other side, Li Chuan began to doubt his older brother's decision for the first time. He said that President Lin was definitely a good person, but his brother didn't believe him. The culinary disaster game they were working on with Lin Xiaoxiao was about to recoup its costs and turn a profit.
What a good person President Lin is! His older brother had doubts about him, but President Lin repaid evil with kindness and diligently updated the map. If this isn't a good person, then what kind of person is?
According to Li Chuan, it didn't matter whether he bought the M platform or not. With Lin Xiaoxiao, a good friend of the Y platform, there was no need for the M platform's team.
His older brother is really something, guarding against his best partner in the industry and even thinking about building a team. He's starting to despise his older brother. Could it be that someone has said bad things about Lin Xiaoxiao to his older brother? That's how it's always portrayed on TV.
It seems he still needs to try to persuade his older brother.
Meanwhile, "Never to Meet Again" and the revised first season of "Chinese Horror" have also officially launched in China. The only difference is that "Never to Meet Again" premiered on Penglai TV after the news, while "Chinese Horror" is streamed on the Feiyang Video APP.
[Seriously? Feiyang Entertainment is making another sweet romance drama?! Are you trying to fool me with a different genre?!]
[I'm a little scared too. Director Lin, you've used the same trick so many times already. I won't fall for it again.]
[Agreed. They always lure viewers in and make them suffer. I'm definitely not falling for it this time.]
[I have a feeling that Feiyang Entertainment might have changed things up? After all, wasn't "The Love of Penglai" supposed to have a happy ending? Right?]
I only watched "The Love of Penglai" after everyone else had already seen it and confirmed it was a sweet romance. I've been fooled too many times. I'm completely disillusioned now.
Is everyone so pessimistic? Well, I'll go scout things out first.
As an annual member of Feiyang Films, I chose "Chinese Horror".
【Seriously? I remember the ID upstairs. Didn't you dislike horror movies?】
[I don't like them, but I didn't like suspense dramas before either. It turns out Feiyang Entertainment has really brought things back to life! It's not that I don't like them, it's just that none of the dramas I watched were from Feiyang Entertainment.]
【So you really do have a Schrödinger-like love for reading.】
[This is probably the "fried chicken theory" from upstairs: what to do if your kid doesn't like to eat? Try this fried chicken. If they eat it, then the food at home isn't good enough.]
[However, I heard that many exciting scenes were cut, which is a bit of a pity. After watching it, I'd rather see the original version of "Chinese Horror."]
[Where's the person who said they'd go to "Never See You Again" to help everyone out? Why aren't they back yet?]
