After Yinzi clicked 'Start Game,' he found himself in an office.
Looking at the furnishings and layout, it was clearly a film company.
The game popped up a prompt: 【Starting today, you will join 'Miracle Pictures' as a professional producer. Please enter your name】
Yinzi waved his VR glove, picked up the notebook on the desk, and quickly wrote the characters "Yinzi."
Just as he put down the notebook, a man with a beard and sunglasses walked in.
“Welcome, dear Director Yin, I hope you have a pleasant work experience at our company. I only have one requirement for your work—you need to keep our productions as low-profile as possible.”
Yinzi asked curiously, “Keep it low-profile? What does that mean?”
The sunglasses man leaned closer to Yinzi and whispered:
“I’ll tell you quietly, our company’s behind-the-scenes financier has many other businesses. This film company is, at best, just an insignificant side business for him, so he doesn’t care about the company’s revenue.
The only purpose of this film company is that we will invest in newly established film projects. The money invested by the financier is dirty, but after the project goes online, it will be bought back by the financier, so the money becomes clean. Do you understand?”
The live stream chat chimed in: “Good heavens, so this company is doing this kind of thing?”
Yinzi thought for a moment, guessing this was the main storyline, and nodded.
“So, our company’s film projects should be as low-profile as possible, so as not to attract the attention of regulatory authorities. The lower the ratings and reviews, the better, understand?”
Yinzi explained to the audience, “In other words, I’m being asked to deliberately make bad films and terrible dramas. No wonder it’s called 'Terrible Drama Director Simulator.' If that’s the case, the game is simple. It’s hard to make good films, but who can’t make bad ones?”
Immediately afterward, the game popped up a new task objective:
【Take on an ancient costume short drama. The player rating must be below 5 points, and the total number of viewers must be below 100,000】
【Reward for achieving the goal: Company funds of 500,000】
【If the company is discovered by regulatory authorities, the game will fail】
【Please pay attention to the company's financial situation. If the company goes bankrupt due to insolvency, the game will also fail】
Chat: “With this setting, it’s a bit difficult.”
The game continued to teach:
【First, click 'Staff Room' to hire a screenwriter】
【Each screenwriter has different 'talent skills.' Please choose the right talent based on the project】
Immediately afterward, a virtual screen appeared in front of Yinzi, with a long list of candidates.
Each candidate had different growth tendencies and salary requirements.
Yinzi flipped through the list and first saw a screenwriter with ten years of experience who had written historical dramas before.
He shook his head: “According to normal game thinking, this person is the most suitable, but since he’s so professional, the possibility of making a good film is high, which wouldn’t be low-profile.”
PASS!
Yinzi continued to look and found an old professor from the Chinese department of a certain university with five years of teaching experience.
“Isn’t the Chinese department all about studying ancient Chinese literature? He might be unexpectedly good at screenwriting, PASS!”
Yinzi flipped through for a while and found a down-and-out young screenwriter.
His name was Hushuo. He dropped out of high school and had been working in a third-rate small theater, writing sketches and second-rate erotic stage play scripts.
“Sketches and third-rate awkward dramas, this person is terrible, and he doesn’t ask for much money. He’s the one.”
The chat laughed: “Yinzi, take it easy, don’t bankrupt the company.”
Immediately afterward, the game prompted: 【Please add genre tags for the new work】
Yinzi thought for a moment. He was afraid that he might encounter a genre that the Great Screenwriter Hu was good at, which would be a disaster.
So, he first clicked the 【Employee Talk】 button to call the other party to the office for a chat.
Yinzi smiled and said, “Screenwriter Hu, don’t be nervous. Tell me, what type of ancient costume drama are you worst at and most afraid of filming?”
Screenwriter Hu’s expression was obviously a bit dazed.
Other producers ask screenwriters what they are good at writing, but this one is asking the opposite?
He had to answer honestly:
“To be honest, I’m worst at palace dramas in ancient costume dramas because this genre requires delicate expression of characters’ emotions…”
“Mmm, mmm.”
Yinzi nodded while adding the 【Palace】 tag to the script.
“Anything else? What else are you not good at writing?”
Screenwriter Hu scratched his head: “Oh, I’m also not good at writing power struggles and assassin-type action scenes, such as Jing Ke assassinating the prince. I always handle this scene awkwardly.”
Yinzi also selected the 【Assassin】 tag.
“Anything else? It’s okay, don’t be restrained, just say it.”
Screenwriter Hu’s expression was obviously full of gratitude. He didn’t expect to meet such a reasonable producer!
He nodded honestly again: “Oh, I’m especially not good at writing romance dramas, such as the emperor’s harem vying for favor, or the emperor’s incognito encounters with commoner girls, because I haven’t even been in a relationship myself, where would I have the experience to write these things?”
“Got it!”
Yinzi selected the three tags he had decided on and then said:
“Then create an ancient costume short drama for me with the themes of palace, assassin, and romance.”
Screenwriter Hu was dumbfounded: “Eh, no, I, I this…”
The chat laughed:
“Hahahaha, the streamer is so bad.”
“Poor Screenwriter Hu, he hasn’t experienced the beatings of society. Can you easily believe what the leader says?”
After the script was set, the game popped up the shooting schedule interface.
On this interface, players can set the 【Script Writing Speed】, with three options: “Super Fast Rush Work,” “Standard,” and “Slow Work Produces Fine Work.”
The more you rush the writing task, the lower the cost, but the quality of the script will decrease.
And vice versa.
Yinzi almost hesitated and immediately chose “Super Fast Rush Work.”
Immediately afterward, the game popped up a time progress bar, and soon the script was completed:
【Script Name: The Legendary Assassin Moon Shy Flower】
【Script Features: Twists, Counter-Common Sense, Awkward】
Yinzi said happily, “Great, with this script evaluation, it’s definitely stable!”
The chat had already started planning to buy villas in advance.
……
After that, the game popped up the 【Hire Director】 interface.
Yinzi flipped back and forth through the candidate list and found that these directors basically all had works they could show off.
Continuing to flip through to the back, although he could find some young directors without much experience, they were basically all from film school.
Yinzi finally found a candidate who looked pleasing to the eye:
【Young Independent Director: Lone Wolf】
【Previous Positions: Timi Media (5 years)】
【Specializes in shooting romance films and action films】
The audience was instantly dumbfounded:
“Timi Media? Is that the Timi Media I know?”
“Good heavens, an action film director has come ashore?”
After Yinzi hired Lone Wolf, the time progress bar continued to advance, the crew preparation work was completed, and the game prompted:
【Please allocate the total casting budget】
In front of Yinzi appeared labels such as “Female Assassin,” “Emperor,” “Empress,” “Concubine,” “Maid,” “Minister,” etc. These were all the characters in this TV series, and players needed to decide which characters to spend the budget on.
Yinzi said:
“If I analyze it according to the logic of watching dramas, for historical dramas like assassinating the emperor, the real protagonist must be the emperor. His power struggles and worldview are the key to determining the fate of everyone in the drama.
And the assassin is more about using his perspective to show the unknown side of the emperor. We should spend a lot of money to find a good actor to play the emperor, but we must do the opposite!”
Yinzi dragged the funding bar and directly maxed out the hiring budget for the female assassin, and reduced everyone else to the lowest.
【Please select the female actor's ability tendencies】
【Suggestion, distribute each tendency as evenly as possible】
Yinzi can choose from three aspects: “Appearance,” “Acting Skills,” and “Dedication.”
“We want to shoot a terrible drama, what do we need acting skills for, what do we need dedication for?”
Without saying a word, Yinzi directly maxed out “Appearance” and minimized the other two.
The chat laughed:
“My God, what kind of bizarre TV series are you going to shoot? The kind that will poison people to death?”
“I’ve already started laughing, hahaha!”
After deciding on various shooting plans, the game officially entered the shooting process.
In the studio in front of Yinzi, various crew members were constantly busy.
The chat exclaimed:
“I used to be an extra in Hengdian. You can’t deny that this game is really like the real thing. It has a bit of the taste of a film set.”
“I heard that the employees of Peach Blossom Spring recently all ran to Hengdian for tourism and team building. Many passers-by have photographed them.”
“Good heavens, are they taking advantage of developing the game to travel and play everywhere again?”
“I’m jealous, another day of envying the employees of Peach Blossom Spring.”
When the shooting progress bar was about to reach the end,
Suddenly!
The game popped up an event prompt:
【The actor playing the executioner, because he was having an affair with someone else's wife in Hengdian, was caught in bed and cannot continue shooting】
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.com!
【You need to temporarily select someone to replace him. Please choose one of the following three people】
【A down-and-out actor who hasn't received a notice for many years】
【A performing arts graduate from an unknown art school】
【A lewd drunk found at the entrance of a bar】
The chat frantically complained:
“Good heavens, does the crew even know this kind of thing about the actors so clearly?”
Yinzi chose the third one almost without hesitation.
After that, the shooting progress bar finished.
【The 12-episode ancient costume TV series "The Legendary Assassin Moon Shy Flower" has been completed and will be released soon】
【Generating the most exciting climax of the TV series for you, please enjoy】
The TV in Yinzi's office began to play the main film of the TV series.
Yinzi was surprised: “What the hell, can this game really generate a film from the script you defined?”
The chat was also surprised:
“Damn, I’ve played a lot of simulation management games before, but none of them really presented the works made by the players. Peach Blossom Spring is awesome!”
“It should be using an artificial intelligence large model to generate it in real-time. The Peach Blossom Kaiwu engine is awesome!”
“Peach Blossom Spring is a company full of hidden talents. How many technical geniuses are still hidden?”
……
On the screen, the recap first appeared:
“The fifteenth year of the Great Qian Dynasty, the world is in a great drought”
“The people eat their children, and life is miserable, while the Great Qian Emperor Jingtai is extravagant and ignores the suffering of the people”
“The people have risen up in revolt, resisting the oppression of the imperial court, among which the assassin organization [January Fifteenth] is the most active”
“And the leader of the January Fifteenth organization is Moon Shy Flower, known as the legendary female assassin of the Great Qian”
“Moon Shy Flower disguised herself as a palace maid, sneaked into the palace, intending to assassinate Emperor Jingtai, but was arrested by the Imperial Guard”
“Today, the angry Emperor Jingtai centrally executes death row inmates, including Moon Shy Flower. Can she escape this disaster?”
“Episode 12, Moon Shy Flower’s Ending”
In the picture, a magnificent palace appeared.
Emperor Jingtai sat on the dragon chair, with the Empress and a group of concubines next to him, looking anxious.
On the emperor's left hand, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice said:
“By order of His Majesty, escort the next batch of death row inmates to the hall for immediate execution!”
The Imperial Guard escorted a batch of death row inmates with their faces covered.
Emperor Jingtai said coldly: “You lowly people, do you know your crimes?”
One of the men crawled to Emperor Jingtai's feet:
“Your Majesty, I only slept with the concubine of the neighbor Zhao Jinshi, it’s not a capital crime!”
The live stream chat laughed:
“Good heavens, is this the actor who was caught in bed in Hengdian?”
Emperor Jingtai kicked him aside:
“Shut up, you people who disrupt the moral order, what’s the point of keeping you? There’s no need to bring these people here, just kill them!”
With a click, Emperor Jingtai pulled out his sword, raised his hand and dropped it, ending the other party's life.
However, Emperor Jingtai just made a few gestures with the knife in the air, and before he could cut the other party, the other party screamed and fell to the ground.
The actor playing Emperor Jingtai was stunned, but the director didn't call stop, so he had to continue acting:
“Someone, drag him down.”
The crew's supporting role budget was limited, and there were no extras to drag people. According to the arrangement, the actor playing the death row inmate should find a way to move out of the shot himself.
As a result, the camera switched slowly for a few seconds,
So, in the picture, everyone watched as this death row inmate, who should have died, rolled out of the hall.
“Pfft.” Emperor Jingtai and the Empress couldn't help but laugh, but quickly returned to normal.
At this time, the live stream chat had gone crazy:
“Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, you’re not calling stop even like this?”
“Maybe Director Lone Wolf has his own ideas?”
“I think it’s purely because the streamer spent all the crew’s budget on the back of the knife, hahaha.”
After that, Emperor Jingtai executed several more death row inmates in succession.
At this time, the Empress cried:
“Your Majesty, you have killed more than a dozen death row inmates today. Your sword has been dyed red. If you continue to kill, I’m afraid you will offend the heavens!”
Emperor Jingtai has also been in a marital crisis with the Empress recently, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically:
"Since the Empress is such a model of virtue, why not withdraw first? Why stay here and risk being tainted by bloodshed? Quickly take the concubines of the harem and leave."
The Empress and the concubines all knelt down, pleading, "Your Majesty, Heaven values life. Please reconsider! Do not kill anymore!"
At this moment, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice pointed to the last remaining woman in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, this woman is called Yue Xiuhua. She is the leader of the January 15th organization and the mastermind behind various assassinations and rebellions!"
Guards from the Imperial Guard, looking fierce and menacing, stepped forward and removed the mask from her face.
"You are a person deserving of ten thousand deaths! Do you have any last words?!"
However, the moment the mask was removed, everyone present was stunned.
Yue Xiuhua possessed a face that could topple empires. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her eyes were bright and clear, with a profound depth. Her long eyelashes outlined a unique charm.
Her cherry lips were slightly parted, like a budding peach blossom, delicate and alluring. Her nose was straight and shapely, like a carefully crafted jade platform.
She wore a simple white dress, and her hair, like clouds, gently brushed her shoulders. Her figure was slender and graceful, charming and enchanting.
Yue Xiuhua, kneeling on the ground, gently raised her head, looking at Emperor Jingtai with a pitiful gaze.
At this moment, the comments section exploded:
"Woah, brothers, I really like this one!"
"I knew she was innocent the moment I saw her!"
"No wonder the director is from Tianmei Media; they know how to cast!"
"Is this the benefit of the production budget being spent entirely on looks?"
Seeing Yue Xiuhua's face, Emperor Jingtai's old face flushed red, and the murderous aura instantly disappeared, replaced by a youthful blush.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was also stunned by Yue Xiuhua's beauty, subconsciously biting his hem.
The other men in the hall were all drooling.
Seeing this scene, the Empress was instantly filled with jealousy and cursed, "son of b……"
Emperor Jingtai adjusted his dragon robe, walked down from the throne, leaned over, and greedily inhaled the fragrance from her body, asking with concern, "Young lady, how old are you? Where do you live?"
Seeing the dog emperor approaching, Yue Xiuhua was filled with anger.
"Tui!"
She spat a mouthful of saliva on Emperor Jingtai's face.
Emperor Jingtai was not angry, but stood up shyly, and like applying face cream, thoroughly smeared the saliva left on his face.
