Chapter 294 The New World I Created!
"My grass!"

"Is Zhou Yang serious?"

"Holy crap! Zhou Yang's actions are more fantastical than a hybrid of Calabash Brothers and Ultraman! He can even turn something Director Liang casually swore into a movie? Are you kidding me?"

"Wait, this seems like something he'd actually do..."

"Damn, they're really filming Guan Yu riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle fighting zombies?"

"So abstract?"

"I fucking can't bear to look!"

"..."

3 month 16 day.

early morning.

When countless netizens saw Zhou Yang's interview video, they were instantly stunned!

They stared at the image of Guan Yu riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and fighting zombies as if they had seen a ghost, rubbing their eyes in disbelief, somewhat dazed, shocked, and incredulous.

Immediately afterwards...

It's fucking again!

like!

It makes sense!

Zhou Yang is such a ruthless bastard, he's even made Calabash Brothers and Ultraman into movies, what else wouldn't he dare to film?
If he were to make a serious film, he wouldn't be Zhou Yang!
There is no such thing as "most abstract," only "more abstract"!

At 3:30 a.m., the hashtag #GuanYuRidingHarleyToFightZombies# shot to the top of the trending topics list at lightning speed, with the word "explosive" following the hashtag in bright red...

Below, countless netizens offered a variety of abstract and outrageous suggestions regarding the plot of "Guan Yu Riding a Harley to Fight Zombies"...

In the early hours of the morning, a time when everything is quiet, the online discussion about the movie's plot was at an all-time high!

At 3:50 a.m., the trending topic #GuanGongRidingHarleyFightingZombies# spread like wildfire, with views exceeding 1 million in just one hour!
The discussion forum refreshes with five or six hilarious and quirky ideas every second.

Guan Yu was seen wearing sunglasses while speeding, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade modified into an exhaust pipe, captioned "Hellfire Cloud Riders request to join the battle!"

Guan Yu rides a motorcycle towards the moon to chase zombies, but accidentally cuts the moon in two...

Even more outrageous, there's even a love story about a zombie bride...

……

Apocalyptic, love stories, science fiction, fantasy, Western fantasy...

There are all sorts of versions, they're incredibly imaginative and impossible to guard against!
Amidst countless discussions...

Netizens noticed that the official website of [XuanShi Entertainment] suddenly updated with a new movie poster!

The film, titled "Guan Yu vs. Zombies," was written in blood-red calligraphy, with the subtitle "Special thanks to creative consultant Liang Xiaogang."

This line of small print was the finishing touch, making countless netizens laugh hysterically, and it was widely reposted. Some even contacted Liang Xiaogang's personal website...

By 8 a.m., countless netizens across the internet were in a frenzy!

Countless media outlets were jumping around in this abstract frenzy, and there was no quiet outside Liang Xiaogang's villa after 4 a.m.

8:15 am.

The gate of Liang Xiaogang's villa was completely blocked by a swarm of media.

The sound of the camera flashes was so loud that his eardrums were constantly vibrating...

He yanked open the curtains and his face turned ashen when he saw the massive crowd of media downstairs!
"Director Liang, what is your response to the issue of screenwriter credits?"

Does a 1,000 yuan royalty constitute an insult?

"Director Liang, Director Liang, could you please come out and say a few words for us?"

"..."

The reporters' voices crept in through the crack in the door.

The villa's security guards couldn't stop him. He stayed in the villa for a long time, and even though his assistant told him to calm down and not to overthink it, he couldn't control his emotions and pulled open the door.

"This is blatant malicious marketing!"

After saying this, he suddenly grabbed a shovel from the yard and smashed it at the reporter dressed as a motorbike. The reporter dodged in a panic, his helmet tilting to one side: "I'm going to sue him until he's bankrupt! What kind of lousy creative consultant is he? This is an insult to my character!"

His assistant tugged at his sleeve desperately, but he shook her off!

"Zhou Yang is treating the film industry like a garbage dump! This man has completely lost all sense of morality and shame; this cancer is a disgrace to the film industry!"

"This kind of despicable marketing tactic is simply a desecration of art!"

"Fuck you! Tell Zhou Yang, I'm going to sue him until he's bankrupt!"

"..."

Faced with countless reporters' cameras and flashes, Liang Xiaogang, who is always outspoken and confrontational, could no longer control his emotions.

His face turned bright red, the veins on his neck bulged, and he shoved aside his assistant who was blocking his way, roaring at all the media and even threatening to slap Zhou Yang across the face!

The media, on the other hand, loved to see this kind of scene. They were all excited to the point of madness, wishing they could shove the microphone into Liang Xiaogang's mouth and record every word he said.

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

At 9:15 a.m., the internet buzz surrounding Liang Xiaogang's lawsuit against Zhou Yang remained high, with numerous directors expressing their support for Liang Xiaogang, and the situation escalating across the internet.

however……

Zhou Yang, the troublemaker at the center of the storm, sat in his office, calmly browsing the heated online discussions about "Guan Gong vs. Zombies," a faint smile playing on his lips.

He adjusted his glasses and said to Zhang Jingya, who looked somewhat conflicted, "The buzz is pretty good. It seems the audience is very interested in this innovative subject matter. Director Liang has also been very supportive, consistently helping to boost the buzz..."

Zhang Jingya looked at Zhou Yang, who had a refined and polite demeanor...

Despite having followed Zhou Yang for almost two years, she still felt a mix of emotions from his erratic behavior, and sometimes she even wondered if he had any bottom line...

This is absolutely shameless!
Just at this time……

There was a knock on the office door.

Hu Lei, the director of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman," knocked on the door and walked in. He stood in front of Zhou Yang with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Mr. Zhou, there's a lot of talk online about 'Guan Gong vs. Zombies'... Are we really going to make this movie?"

His tone carried a hint of trepidation...

Within three hours of the release of "Bao Gong's Night Trial of Ultraman", the comment section of [Movie Home] was filled with insults such as "the worst film of the year", "insulting to intelligence", and "money-grabbing"!
Hu Lei sat in front of his computer, his fingers trembling as he refreshed the comment section of [Movie Home]. Every insult, such as "worst of the year" or "insulting to intelligence," felt like a knife stabbing into his heart.

He was so afraid to even look at the comments section for a while!
Last night, he stayed in his room all night, his mind constantly replaying the moment when Zhou Yang encouraged him to be "bold and innovative" during filming. He felt so guilty that words could not describe it!
He wanted to slap himself. President Zhou had been so encouraging, and yet he had taken this picture; it was a disgrace to the company…

Early yesterday morning, his phone kept vibrating. The "concerned" text messages from relatives and friends were a bit strange, and someone in his classmates' group chat was forwarding a prank poster and tagging him...

Almost everyone was laughing at him, which destroyed his confidence and made him feel like his life was over!

A gust of wind blew by, and Zhou Yang looked up at him, his smile widening: "Of course we have to film it! The market response is so good, why not?"

He stood up, patted Hu Lei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't overthink it. The essence of a movie is to entertain the audience. As long as the audience likes it, it's a successful work. Let them criticize it. If it can provide emotional value to the audience, that's good too..."

Hu Lei hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, "But what about Director Liang..."

Zhou Yang waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "The more fiercely he criticizes, the higher the movie's popularity will be, which is not a bad thing."

He paused, then narrowed his eyes: "Besides, the film industry needs fresh blood; we're just breaking the mold."

Hu Lei remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, but his eyes still looked somewhat confused.

Zhou Yang's words clashed sharply with the artistic concepts taught by his film school teachers and the perceptions he had formed since childhood.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's expression gradually became serious: "From the moment we are born, we grow through continuous learning. Criticism isn't necessarily a bad thing; it might even be a good thing. No one is perfect, and we must continue to improve amidst the criticism. It's okay if this movie wasn't well-made; in our next project, we will address our weakest point and further enhance our existing strengths... What we need to do now is not to be defeated by criticism, but to calmly reflect on how to make a better film..."

"Director Hu!"

"【XuanShi Entertainment】aims to be a game-changer in the industry! To let all talent flourish and give every ambition a place to grow!"

"Director Hu, we are living in a passionate and transformative era!"

"In this era, the rules of the older generation? Smash them! The boundaries of the market? Break through them!"

"In the end, this world belongs to us who dare to turn the impossible into the possible!"

"..."

The warm March sun shone through the window onto Zhou Yang's face, making him glow.

Hu Lei looked at Zhou Yang...

For a moment, I couldn't open my eyes!
He subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Then, he nodded solemnly!

At that moment, for some reason, a surge of hot blood welled up in my chest.

"Go!"

"it is good!"

After Hu Lei left, his blood boiling with excitement, Zhou Yang looked out the window into the distance.

"Jingya, as long as these new directors' films don't lose money, we'll continue to support them. Through this model, we can gradually select truly talented directors from among them. Of all the films they make, only one or two might ultimately become high-quality intellectual property."

"But as long as we can produce one or two blockbuster films, it will be enough for us to make a fortune!"

"We're making these movies not for any other reason than to cultivate our own team of directors, and more importantly, to support our special effects team!"

Zhang Jingya was stunned when she heard those words.

Then, somewhat shocked, he said, "Mr. Zhou, could it be that you..."

"Yes! I'm creating a new world! A new world where even if the entire industry collapses, we can single-handedly hold up the sky and single-handedly carry the box office!"

Zhou Yang pushed up his glasses and squinted.

Zhang Jingya was momentarily dazed.

Zhou Yang, meanwhile, was staring at a movie called "Ultraman Racing" with his eyes narrowed.

After briefly glancing at the box office and online reviews, he pushed up his glasses!

The director of this film is Jiang Litao.

"Let Director Jiang come over here for a moment..."

"Perhaps he has the potential to become an intellectual property!"

"..."
