After Lin Xiaoxiao assigned the task, Secretary Zhao sent her information about islands with suitable prices the next day.
She used to be a wage earner with an annual salary of less than 100,000 yuan. This was the first time she had ever seen various islands. Thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had never been to the sea or gone on a trip. She thought she might as well choose a place with good scenery and have some fun while filming and surveillance.
Finally, she chose a small tropical island surrounded by beaches. The island was small, less than ten square kilometers. It had a port and some local residents.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at a small mountain range near the port on the island, facing the sea. Along the slope, layers of white houses were stacked on the cliff, scattered in a well-organized manner, looking like an ancient tribe from a distance.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This is great! By renting this island, I can save time building accommodations. I can just go directly to the island. It's such a beautiful island. Since I've already rented it, why not build a big house and go there for vacation every now and then? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
She's someone who enjoys island vacations now.
After receiving confirmation, Secretary Zhao inquired about the style of Lin Xiaoxiao's large house.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. She didn't seem to have much experience in decorating, since she didn't even own a house before she transmigrated. However, since it was going on vacation, she still needed to think it over carefully, but her limited life experience didn't offer much to draw upon.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she hadn't lived in her large apartment for very long. She spent most of her time in hotels for work, so why not decorate it like a hotel? After thinking about it again, she figured that since it was a vacation anyway, the hotel style would be quite suitable for a vacation.
He Yue and Wang Li were able to take a break because their previous film had just finished. Zhang Fan, an office worker who never did any outdoor sports, had no idea about the survival game and just had to force himself to finish it. Finally, he completed the project plan before the deadline given by Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it briefly; the rules, well, they were obviously a live-action version of the Werewolf game. Zhang Fan probably had no experience with escape games; it was too much to ask.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think about making any changes. After all, Werewolf is a niche game in this world, and it would be good to combine it with the relatively unpopular Escape mode to create a double buff.
Once the plan was finalized, other departments got busy. The film crew had already gone to the island to mark out the area, prepare props, and set up cameras.
Lin Xiaoxiao needs to wait for the participants to be confirmed before she goes to the island. After all, she needs to personally oversee the selection of participants.
Sheng Yiyi, the only artist in the company, had nothing to do after playing a victim in "The Murderer". Lin Xiaoxiao could only let Sheng Yiyi serve as a narrator and host for variety shows.
Sheng Yiyi looked bewildered. "Director Lin, I wasn't hosting."
Lin Xiaoxiao was also helpless. She didn't have any other projects recently, so she could only bite the bullet and try to fool people. "As an actor, you have to know a little bit of everything. Do you think you can play a host and then say you've never been one before? Believe in yourself, you can do it. There's still some time before filming starts, so you can prepare properly."
Lin Xiaoxiao watched Sheng Yiyi leave the office. Sure enough, Sheng Yiyi was quite easy to fool.
Lin Xiaoxiao's next project is an escape reality show, and everyone already knows about it after she started recruiting contestants.
Some netizens also spontaneously left messages for Lin Xiaoxiao on Feiyang Entertainment.
[No way, Director Lin, what about "The Murderer 2"?]
[Was Director Lin kidnapped? If so, blink twice. How did a TV drama director get dragged into filming a variety show?]
[The person upstairs is overthinking it. They can check the actual controlling shareholder of Feiyang Entertainment; it's Director Lin himself.]
[The Murderer is so good! I love Yiyi, her acting has improved!]
Of course, there were also netizens who were excited by the high prize money—
Wow! Fifty million! I want to sign up, I can do it! I'm going to the gym right now to book a personal trainer.
[Upstairs, you're starting training way too late! Just wait and see how I spend my prize money. (Image: biceps)]
[These competition rules are so broad, and the age range is so wide, let's give it a shot! If we win, we can just relax and enjoy life!]
You're all too naive. Do you really think this bonus will reach ordinary people like us? It's probably already been decided beforehand.
[I agree with the comment above. I have inside information; some veterans in the survival game community have already received invitations.]
[Where did you get this inside information, upstairs? Why don't the bloggers I follow have insider invitations?]
[An insider revealed that there were no pre-arranged results for this competition.]
[Pshaw, only a fool would believe that!]
The online buzz didn't affect Lin Xiaoxiao, because she knew that people would only pay attention at first and then completely ignore it.
And now she has to go to a TV lecture, the very lecture that almost made her a thorn in her brother's side.
Upon arriving at the scene, just as Lin Xiaoxiao had predicted, she was hypnotized and drifted off to sleep when she suddenly heard her name called.
Lin Xiaoxiao was immediately jolted awake. Seeing the smiling eyes of the leader on the stage, she smiled back, unaware of the situation.
Director Zhu, who had previously advised Lin Xiaoxiao to avoid the Zhang family's second-generation rich kid, chatted enthusiastically as usual after the event, "Tell me, how come there's always a quota for war films every year? Luckily, I just got my turn, but Director Lin, you're in a bit of a predicament. You just started this year and it's your turn right now, and judging from the way the leaders are acting, they'll probably be paying close attention..."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. "What? How come it's my turn?"
"Didn't we just call your name? And you've already had three hit dramas since you entered the industry, with 'The Murderer' even receiving praise from higher-ups. Of course, they have high hopes for you and are paying close attention to you."
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little incredulous. "Huh? How could this be? I already have a big project that's about to start filming! I don't have time to work on this war movie."
Director Zhu looked at her with a helpless expression. "I've heard about your escape competition, but there's nothing I can do. You'll have to put the project aside and focus on this war film first, and make sure it's done well. After all, it's your priority."
Lin Xiaoxiao was devastated. Her carefully planned island vacation was gone in an instant.
No, she would never give up. If it didn't work, they would film together on the island, and it didn't matter how it turned out. She was going to mess it up anyway, not to achieve anything.
The film crew is also on the island. They've brought the other two screenwriters, who are on vacation, to the island to film a war movie. The actors can be reused, which is a good plan.
It seems a beach vacation is definitely hers! Nothing can interrupt her plan to laze around on the island!
