At the filming location for Tomorrow is Beautiful…

“Cut!

Just after Director Zhu Xiaoce finished speaking, everyone present started clapping and cheering. Many people looked extremely relieved.

At this point, most scenes for the movie had been filmed.

Although they had met with problems at the beginning of filming, Boss Pei’s guidance and all the employees’ hard work had led them to overcome the problems quickly.

Lu Zhiyao and the other actors had especially developed more chemistry. Their scenes became much more interesting. In the beginning, they had to retake multiple scenes again and again, but toward the end, they only needed two or three takes.

What’s more, all of those takes would have been so exciting that Zhu Xiaoce had had difficulty picking his favorite take.

He had postponed many of those decisions to be made during editing.

Thus, filming was officially completed today.

However, Zhu Xiaoce obviously thought differently.

Once that had been decided, Zhu Xiaoce sent people all around the city, looking for new actors.

Only the judge played by Zhang Zuting and the male lead—that had become popularplayed by Li Zhiyao could star in a few commercials.

The young girl who appeared right at the end, and whom the judge had pushed up to replace the male lead, could also star in a few commercials.

Apart from them, a whole new cast had been selected to star in the commercials. They had to be new faces that did not star in the film at all.

“On one hand, that would add to the mood of the various scenes. On the other hand, it would be a metaphor and a satire of big data and privacy problems.

Zhu Xiaoce looked around at everyone and then faced one actor in particular.

“However, the drone is on fire. Just like a fireball, it flies across the night sky. You open the door, reach out, and receive the delivery. When you open the beautiful lunchbox, you find a delicious steak that looks like it has just been barbecued. It’s even emitting smoke…

“The drone collects the take-out, but its screen shows that the distance is too great and that it has insufficient charge to make the delivery. At that moment, we will do a quick zoom in on a map to show that the drone is to travel across the desert and sea to arrive at another city.

“Then, the boss of the take-out business whips out his phone and connects it to the drone with a wire, in order to charge the drone. After that, the drone takes off.

“The drone then flies across the desert and sea. Along the way, it goes through a sandstorm, a tempest, and various other extreme weathers.

“Finally, you open the door again. Now, the drone begins its return trip. When it returns, the boss of the take-out business takes back his cell phone and realizes there is still thirty percent of its battery left…”

Thus, the logos had to be done well. They had to look like real companies.

If he started from ground zero for all the logos, it would have been too difficult.

Thus, after discussing this with Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce had decided to ask the other related companies for help! Fish-Catching Take-Out had been tasked to create a logo for the take-out company by modifying its own logo. Otto Technologies had been tasked with providing a logo that was not being used for the cell phone company. That would work as long as the audience did not think the logos looked familiar.

All in all, with the help of the other departments, the logos looked legitimate.

Although the brand names had all been modified, Zhu Xiaoce had also warned the various departments to claim their modified brand names and register them in advance.

He was not hoping that the film would generate any publicity for those brands, but he was afraid that someone would register the brand names after watching the film and try to demand compensation for copyright.

If they registered the names in advance, they could avoid such problems altogether.

Only then could he say that he had truly poured his soul in creating this movie.

At Tengda Games…

Ruan Guangjian heaved a long sigh. “Alright, the concept art and animations for the first batch of heroes are done.”

Li Yada clapped her hands and said, “Thank you, Boss!”

During this period, Ruan Guangjian had been working on various concept arts and animations for GOG’s heroes. He had made several trips between Jingzhou and Shanghai.

However, research and development of the game could be conducted in parallel with concept art design. Neither one process would hinder the other.

Ruan Guangjian’s job was to modify the character IPs that Tengda Games had bought over or create unique, original characters on his own. The Guardian of Justice, Modest, was one example of the latter.

All in all, this was not an overwhelming task. After all, he did not have to create all the heroes from scratch. Most of the work only involved modification based on an existing drawing.

As long as he understood the character’s special characteristics, he could make the necessary modifications to the original images. That was much easier than starting from scratch.

Thus, designing concept art and animations was much faster than researching and developing the game itself. The game was still a long way from official release or public testing. However, the concept art and animations were more or less done.

Li Yada asked, “Boss, what do you plan to do after this? Do you want to inform Boss Pei that you’re done with the animations so that you can celebrate?”

Ruan Guangjian quickly shook his head. “No, no, no! There’s no need. Boss Pei is extremely busy. Let’s not bother him with such a small matter.

“Moreover, I’ve already been to Jingzhou’s amusement park once. There’s no other exciting activity here.

“I’m planning to rest over the next few days and tour around Jingzhou. Perhaps I would be able to find something else to do.”

Li Yada pondered for a moment and said, “That’s right, Tengda has another games company called Shang Yang Games. It’s the creator of Bloody Battle Song. Have you heard of them?”

Ruan Guangjian nodded. “I have, but I’m not particularly interested in Bloody Battle Song’s style of art.” Li Yada answered, “That’s why we need you to upgrade that company’s art standard, Boss! Don’t worry, we all work under Boss Pei. You will be adequately remunerated.”

Ruan Guangjian hesitated for a moment. “I might be distracted if I take on two projects at once…”

Li Yada waved her hand. “Don’t worry. They have a lot of art resources already. Boss, you just need to go and take a look and give some suggestions. Your primary job would be to offer guidance; you won’t have to do anything yourself.”

After some consideration, Ruan Guangjian nodded. “Alright, I’ll take a look and offer some suggestions, then.”
