I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 290 His mother is so abstract!
3 month 14 day.

[Feihe Cinema]

Hu Lei stood at the entrance of the movie theater, staring at the poster for "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman," and his lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

On the poster, Bao Zheng is wearing a crescent-shaped hat, holding a gavel, with a red and silver Ultraman standing behind him, and an alien monster under their feet.

The magical composition made him feel as if he were dreaming...

Even now, he still feels a bit bewildered!
Fuck!
He couldn't believe his eyes!

He was a senior in college, still in school, majoring in screenwriting, from an ordinary family, and practically invisible at school...

He couldn't believe his eyes!

An ordinary senior screenwriting student, who was unknown at school and whose academic performance was mediocre to the core, actually became a director.
Even more incredibly, the movie he directed is about to be released!

The past three months felt like a dream to him, and he pinched his thigh hard.

A piercing pain surged through me; this was no damn dream!

A gust of wind blew by, and he took a deep breath!

Three months ago, he had just drunk too much and casually submitted a script to the director support program at [Xuan Shi Entertainment]...

Even he himself couldn't remember what he wrote. He only vaguely remembered randomly piecing together "The Case of Chen Shimei" and "Ultraman," and adding a scene of "Bao Gong fighting aliens."

But who would have thought that three days later he would receive a job offer, and the other party would warmly call him "Director Hu"!
When he received the call, he initially thought it was a scam, until he went to [Xuan Shi Entertainment] with some skepticism, and then tentatively dialed a few numbers, and then...

When Director Che came out, he was very enthusiastic, offering tea and exchanging pleasantries, and occasionally chatting with him about movies. During this time, Mr. Zhou also came by occasionally...

The moment he saw President Zhou, his mind went blank. He didn't even know what they had talked about. He only knew that the conversation drifted to the dream of making movies, and then, inexplicably, he ended up touring the temporary film crews that [Xuan Shi Entertainment] had set up...

In the makeshift film crew, from the cameraman to the actors, then to the script supervisor, production assistant, art director, and so on...

Besides the director, the entire crew was present. As he sat down, they chatted with him about the script, the filming methods, and how to design a handsome look...

After a day of chatting in a daze, he inexplicably joined the film crew and became one of the directors and key members of the creative team for "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman"...

Then, suddenly, filming began...

……

"This is actually possible?" Hu Lei's hand, gripping the director's contract, trembled slightly.

The words "Hu Lei" in the "Director's List" in the lower right corner of the poster stung his eyes.

At this moment, the line from the trailer, "Today, I will execute you, you monster!" is playing on a loop in the theater.

Damn it, I didn't feel anything while filming, but after filming, after post-production, the moment the movie sample came out, Hu Lei suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed, and he felt terrible!
He recalled the surreal scenes on set—Bao Zheng's crescent hat being knocked askew by a monster, Ultraman's suit actor suddenly fainting, and him shouting through a megaphone, "Make the guillotine effects even more exaggerated!" Even more absurdly, when Zhou Yang visited the set, they actually seriously discussed "what color temperature should be used for Bao Gong's beam of justice"...

Seeing Zhou Yang's serious expression, Hu Lei lost his mind and started shooting randomly, trying to make things as abstract as possible. The plots were completely unrestrained, including mythology, science fiction, urban life, and apocalypse...

Surprisingly, after showing Zhou Yang a few clips, Zhou Yang thought he filmed them quite well and found them very creative...

As he was thinking about it, he saw Bao Zheng's magical appearance in the trailer again, and suddenly his legs went weak. He even leaned against the wall and muttered to himself, "What the hell did I film?"

"Even though I filmed this, Mr. Zhou said it was good..."

"Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"

"..."

....................................

The morning of November 3.

There's about an hour left until the premiere of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman"...

[Feihe Cinema]

Liu Jiasheng's fingers trembled slightly as he held the movie ticket.

"I must be crazy..." He repeatedly checked the movie title on the ticket stub.

The six large, gilded characters of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ao Teman" stung his retina. Even though he was prepared, seeing such a bold name still made him involuntarily clench his anus.

He stared at the huge poster of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman" and his body trembled slightly.

In the poster, Bao Zheng's official hat and Ultraman's silver breastplate blend eerily under LED lights, while the alien monster he stands on bares its teeth...

He held the ticket stub and checked the movie title repeatedly. Damn, this thing actually passed the censorship?

He specifically looked through the brochure while checking tickets—

Director Hu Lei? Never heard of him! Cinematographer Ma Xiaoqiang? I think he was the production assistant who kept focus on "Wu Hun 3"!
The screenwriter section is even more outrageous, directly stating "Original work by Bao Qingtian, adapted by Hu Lei and Zhou Yang".

When he saw the words "[Spectacular Special Effects] Meticulously Created," he took a deep breath. Finally, something decent...

At least, the special effects in this movie shouldn't be too bad...

should……

Right?
He subconsciously glanced again at the glass cabinet next to him!

Sure enough! A Bao Zheng doll, a plastic guillotine, and what appears to be an Ultraman figure with the timer on the left, the head pattern on the right, and the large eyes replaced with small eyes...

Seeing this, he took a deep breath. He seriously suspected that Zhou Yang was just here to make easy money...

but……

There is something to say...

Zhou Yang has probably got the audience's psychology figured out a long time ago!

The more absurd something is, the more people want to see just how absurd it can get...

Besides, this isn't the first or second time Zhou Yang has gone into abstract art; some of his movie titles are incredibly cheesy, but the plots seem pretty okay...

Naturally, quite a few people came to see it!

However, when a long queue suddenly formed at the ticket gate, Liu Jiasheng realized that he had underestimated people's curiosity.

The long queue at the ticket gates snaked all the way to the cinema lobby, and bursts of laughter occasionally erupted from the throng of people.

Someone held up a camera, the lens sweeping across the poster showing the mesmerizing image of Bao Zheng high-fiving Ultraman...

Several boys in school uniforms crowded in front of the shop window, pointing at the "Kaifeng Prefecture Limited Edition Ultraman" figurine and shouting "outrageous", but they emptied their pocket money to pre-order three sets.

Reporters set up their cameras and microphones, the flashes turning the LED screen of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman" a stark white...

Everyone wants to know what kind of epic mess Zhou Yang will pull off this time.

Just then, a sign appeared at the ticket booth not far away that read "Premiere sold out"...

Today, all the tickets for "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman" are sold out!
He took his movie ticket, silently walked into the screening room, and sat down in a chair...

The screening room was noisy for a moment, then fell silent as the lights suddenly went out.

When the lights on the screen came back on, the movie "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman" was finally released...

..............................

A crimson energy storm tore through the night sky, and the color timer on the chest of the giant of light, "Kadeothman," was flashing wildly.

The giant somersaulted in mid-air, narrowly dodging the lava behemoth's sweeping bone tail, then crossed his arms into a cross shape...

Then, the blinding [Kelda Beam] burst forth, blasting the ferocious monster hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily into the ruins of the evolution factory, kicking up clouds of dust...

……

This is the opening scene of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman". The visual effects at the beginning of the film are amazing, especially the action scenes, which are very realistic and exciting.

then……

On the screen, a bronze vortex suddenly splits open in the sky, and then the remains of a giant beast are sucked into a distorted spacetime rift. Kledo is about to give chase, but is ultimately sucked in by a spacetime turbulence...

Immediately following, after a dazzling and realistic special effects sequence!
The style on screen has suddenly changed!

The modern scenery suddenly switched to an ancient one!

Next!

[Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture at Night]!
then……

During the Qingli era of the Northern Song Dynasty, a wormhole suddenly appeared in the sky above Kaifeng Prefecture, and a 50-meter-tall "Giant of Light - Deckard Ultraman" fell onto the Imperial Street, crushing several buildings of Fanlou.

Bao Zheng detained him for "disturbing the order of Bianjing," but during the court session, he discovered that the defendant was too large; the roof of the yamen was pierced through, and Wang Chao and Ma Han needed to use a ladder to put shackles on the defendant.

"Boom!"

The gavel slammed down, causing the candlelight in the courtroom to flicker violently.

Bao Zheng's face darkened, and he pointed at the unconscious red-silver giant below the hall: "You audacious fiend! How dare you impersonate the God of Literature descended to earth!"

Wang Chaomahan, trembling, raised his torch: "My lord, this monster's chest glows red!"

……

Liu Jiasheng watched as the scene suddenly changed!
He saw Zhan Zhao use his lightness skill to leap onto Ultraman's shoulder armor, and tap his ear with his embroidered spring knife as evidence: "This fiend glows in the middle of the night, causing the people of Kaifeng to mistakenly believe it was a celestial phenomenon and collectively kneel down to pray for a child!"

He saw Gongsun Ce holding the "Records of Injustice Rectified" and scanning the Ultraman energy core, and exclaimed: "My lord! Its internal organs are forged from the plasma spark tower. According to the 'Song Criminal Code,' it should be punished as 'manifesting a demon'!"

Bao Zheng ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to bring the "Mirror of the Underworld" to reflect Ultraman's past life memories, but after reflecting for a long time, nothing came out...

Especially the moment when Bao Zheng suddenly slammed his gavel, during the interrogation of Ultraman at night!
"boom!"

Liu Jiasheng's anus suddenly contracted, and he suddenly felt that he could not breathe!

You fucking gave me a problem to solve?
Night interrogation of Ultraman!
Is that what you mean?
At this moment, Liu Jiasheng was completely bewildered!

"Holy crap! Bao Zheng arresting Ultraman? Is this a plot that carbon-based life forms could come up with?"

Back row...

Some people were stunned when they saw this!
