Chapter 140: Cangyuan Film Studio, Let's Go!
Amazing!
Ran Ge thought, "Editing videos, I'm good at that."
For him recently, slacking off at work was simply too easy.
Not long after Executive Officer Liu returned from his tea break, he was fired by the board of directors. The matter was well-known in the industry, which led to other companies not daring to hire him, and his fate was quite dismal.
As for his new superior in the company, he hadn't arrived yet.
Ran Ge boldly guessed that no one would dare to take over the former producer's "tea break" project now. He either had to switch project teams or start sending out job applications.
If only he could be a professional player of "Star Ocean"!
As Ran Ge thought this, he swaggered and began editing the video.
During lunch break, after finishing the video, he couldn't wait to go online, submit his work, and then immediately move on to the next task.
Serving as the cameraman for the corporate promotional video.
Coffee Cat and Hammer Girl had already directed the new players to set up a photography studio in the camp. The filming of the promotional video was about to begin there, with the most important being the cancer special medicine promotional video.
"But I can't act—"
Nan Guo de Xue sat in front of the mirror, being made up by three other female players.
Having left her research comfort zone, she appeared small, pitiful, and helpless, her hands resting uneasily on her knees,
Her posture was as stiff as could be.
Guo Li Cheng: "Oh, don't you Americans usually watch live streams much? As long as your face is pretty enough, you don't need acting skills. Just read the lines!"
Nan Guo de Xue: "Really—"
"Really~"
A player named Midsummer Night said to her, "The audience will forgive beauties! Come on, hurry and put these on."
Midsummer Night is a game artist in reality, specializing in character design, especially female characters; during college, she participated in both anime club and drama club. This time, she volunteered to be the director of the corporate promotional video.
"But, in the pharmacology lab, we don't wear these—"
Among those clothes, the polymer lab coat was still normal.
The rest were a black tight-fitting chemical fiber sweater, a black narrow skirt, and plain gold-rimmed glasses, high heels, and gray stockings.
It made her a little embarrassed, mainly because the skirt was a bit short.
"Miss, the audience has absolutely no interest in what should be worn in a laboratory."
Dan Ta reached from behind and held Sister Xue's slightly slender shoulders.
"You have to dress to fit the public's stereotype, and you have to be pleasing to the eye. You have to be responsible to the audience!"
"Prop team~ How are the props coming along?"
Midsummer Night shouted outside.
"Almost done!" Ma Lou responded loudly.
He led a group of his subordinates, meticulously arranging a pile of newly printed "instruments" in the photography studio, setting up a laboratory scene. Although the "instruments" looked high-tech, they were actually pure film and television props that consumed almost no production capacity.
After all, producing special medicine didn't require building a laboratory or a factory. Lu Yuan had summoned a high-precision 3D printer deep in the cave earlier.
It was enough, although the synthesis process was very power-intensive.
"Alright, hurry up and put them on. We're waiting for you, big star."
"But, but..."
"Do you want us to help you put them on!"
"Ah!"
Screams and playful noises came from the dressing room, causing many big men outside to silently look sideways.
A few minutes later, Nan Guo de Xue walked out of the dressing room, somewhat embarrassed, and appeared on set.
Dan Ta poked Guo Li Cheng next to her.
"Do you feel like she's more nervous now than when she self-destructed?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes!"
Director in position, camera in position, lighting in position,
"Ooh!"
The audience atmosphere group was also in position, letting out a gasp of admiration for the lead actress.
The players put down their tasks and specially rushed over to watch the fun. There were both male and female players, and the female players were even more excited, constantly pushing forward.
Especially the new players, since Nan Guo de Xue had been a troglodyte before, this was their first glimpse of her true appearance.
"Much prettier than what I saw in the previous video. Cangyuan is so strong!"
"Someone write a blood letter demanding she wear this outfit normally. The combat uniform really affects actual combat effectiveness!"
"I want to switch to Scholar! I want to be her assistant—ah, no, her assistant!"
"So frustrating—how did she sculpt her face—I worked all night and couldn't get this effect."
"I heard she and Guo Li Cheng both used their own faces as models."
"('。*)））Eh?! Their real faces? Really?"
Because of the face-sculpting system, players' appearances were generally much higher than in reality, far exceeding the human average, including their figures. Chang Kong was a typical example.
But sculpted faces more or less had a technological feel. The "living person" feel of Guo Li Cheng and Nan Guo de Xue was very difficult to achieve.
"Alright, stop arguing! Quiet down!" Midsummer Night shouted behind him, "Action!"
"You can do it—"
Nan Guo de Xue took a deep breath, elegantly holding the medicine bottle, and timidly walked to the camera position.
"...This special cancer medicine is a dedicated work from Cangyuan Future Technology, with a thousand years of history,
It applies the most cutting-edge nanotechnology and genetic engineering—"
She gazed affectionately at the teleprompter, speaking in her characteristic slightly cool tone.
"Ooh!! That's enough, that's enough. Even though I don't need it, I've decided to buy it."
"Ordered a whole box."
The onlookers expressed that they were captivated.
Midsummer Night gave a thumbs up, also quite satisfied with the effect.
And she said she hadn't acted before, isn't she very talented? "Her image is truly good!" Male God, who was watching, said, "But these lines—which little genius wrote them?
The quality is exactly like a health product that's a scam!"
"Haha—" Ma Lou laughed, "That's because the words 'nano' and 'genetic engineering' have been stigmatized by unscrupulous merchants in reality. They are good technologies themselves."
Sister Xue continued: "...It is widely applicable to all types, including early, mid, late, and even terminal stages. Regardless of whether cancer cells have spread, as long as the patient can take the medicine, it can be cured."
"Ooh!!!"
"Take one tablet daily, and it will take effect the next day. Complete recovery within 7 days."
"Ooh!!! Sister Xue, we are your movie fans, F,
"After taking the medicine, sweating, dehydration, hunger, and increased body temperature may occur. These are all normal reactions and no need to worry. If you are concerned, you can prepare clean, light salt water, food, and changes of clothes for the patient in advance."
Based on the information brought back from the grassland, Lu Yuan promptly updated the drug's side effects.
Although the sample was temporarily only Cheng Yun, it currently seemed that the side effects were negligible and sufficiently safe.
Because Nan Guo de Xue performed exceptionally well and showed no stage fright, the filming concluded smoothly.
"Excellent, I declare it a one-take! The final cut looks very good!" Midsummer Night turned to announce the completion of the task to everyone.
"Really?" Nan Guo de Xue, holding down her skirt, ran over with small, tapping steps to see the final cut, her movements graceful with a hint of playfulness, instantly captivating the hearts of many young men and women.
She was almost ready to debut as an idol.
Seeing herself on screen for the first time, Nan Guo de Xue was clearly very happy, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Midsummer Night: "There's no need for reshoots for this segment. Everyone, pack up the equipment. Next stop, Red Iron Town! We're going to film a video showcasing Cangyuan's industrial strength and working environment! A-Xue, you come along too~~"
"Eh? Didn't you say we'd only film one?"
"Oh, plans have changed. You'll have to trouble yourself to play an interviewing reporter again. Look how great this final cut is!"
"Well, alright—"
"That's right~ Even if you say no, your body—"
"Stop, stop! Don't say any more!"
In the distance, the captured Apollo transport plane was already warming up. Who would have thought that this behemoth's first mission would be to transport a film crew?
Four days later, with the players' efforts, the filming concluded amidst laughter and joy. Almost all employees made an appearance.
Over 200 videotapes were also produced.
On the morning of the fifth day, Cheng Lei also sent a radio communication from Oasis City, informing them that the city's power supply had been restored,
And over eighty percent of the video rental stores had resumed business.
In the afternoon, Grassland drove an all-terrain vehicle and met Cheng Lei's two trucks, which had driven out of the city, in the vast Desert.
"Take these back with you." Grassland moved the boxes containing videotapes and medicine onto Cheng Lei's truck. "Start the operation tonight. We can't delay any longer."
He then handed over an envelope.
"Inside are the plans and timetable written by the Executive Officer. You can flexibly adjust according to the various plan stages within."
Cheng Lei: "Don't worry, Big Brother Grassland! By the way, aren't you coming with us?"
"No."
Grassland shook his head somewhat mysteriously.
"We'll meet again later. When the time is right, remember to look up!"
