I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Master Mao, the only one who can fight zombies, has been imprisoned. Chu Qi and Ying Chun are also unable to subdue the zombies. What should they do?

Is this what you call clickbait?

It's terrifyingly so.

The movie is called "Anaconda," and I thought it would be something like a python or a giant snake that's the main villain. But the movie only has about three to five minutes of snake scenes. So it's a complete rip-off.

This is actually a minor issue. The biggest problem is the illogical plot, which is riddled with loopholes and is unbearable.

The opening scene shows Master Mao appearing and killing the zombie when the father is killed by a zombie on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. It is later discovered that the zombie was an imposter.

If it's a fake zombie, how can it fall from the sky and be invulnerable to weapons? Even if the fake zombie is indeed invulnerable, how could Master Mao kill it with just a few punches and kicks?
This is so unreasonable!

And finally, it was said that Tian Zhen was a zombie in disguise, so why did Captain Zhu and Tian Juan, who were bitten, get infected with the zombie virus?
And that giant python—it's just a plot device; we have no idea what its purpose is. Actually, the movie might be better if the python element were removed.

This movie is Jing Tian's directorial debut.

The acting was visibly immature, and the character was visibly brainless.

However, it's good that he didn't hesitate to make himself look ugly and get sausage lips for the role, which shows that he still has the ambition to make this movie well. It's just that the script is so bad that it wouldn't be any better no matter who takes over.

"Do you know what the script is called?" Cheng Sheng asked.

“Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry!” Da Tian Tian said.

Pfft! Haha!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Unexpectedly!

I really didn't expect that!

This really is a masterpiece.

While Bi Dao couldn't fool the principal, he managed to fool Starlight Brilliant Company and Road Administration.

If I don't interfere, then Director Bi will definitely be able to fool one person after another, since Lu Zheng and Da Tian Tian's judgment in choosing scripts is unreliable.

Noticing Cheng Sheng's strange expression, Da Tiantian said unhappily, "What kind of look is that? I feel like you're looking at an idiot."

Cheng Sheng's lips twitched. Da Tiantian was right; he had indeed been treating her like a moron.

Given Jing Tian's ability to choose scripts, if she weren't brain-dead, she wouldn't have starred in so many bad movies in the early stages.

Cheng Sheng suspected that the people at Starlight Brilliant Company were trying to scam Da Tian Tian.

Or perhaps the person behind Jing Tian is trying to use this to undermine her career and prevent her from entering the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, even if a large company has so many people and no discernment, it's impossible for them to select so many bad movies for Jing Tian.

"How could that be! I was just saying you're smart and rational, and you didn't fall for it," Cheng Sheng tried to argue.

If you were to openly call Da Tiantian brain-dead, she probably would have turned the principal's office upside down.

"Fooled?"

Da Tiantian was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes darted around and she said, "You mean that person named Bi Zifei is a fraud?"

"He's not a fraud, but he wasn't lying. That Director Bi is a talented student from the Beijing Film Academy, and he is indeed trying to secure investment to make a movie, but..."

As he spoke, Cheng Sheng paused.

"But what?"

"Da Tian Tian said anxiously."

"That's a huge pitfall. Anyone who invests in it is a fool. They'll definitely lose everything they own," Cheng Sheng said calmly.

"A huge pitfall? Cheng Sheng, you haven't even read the script, how do you know this movie will lose money?" Da Tian Tian said suspiciously.

“I haven’t read the script, but before Director Bi went to see President Lu, he had already contacted Principal Xu. He originally wanted Xu Xiaozhong to recommend me and then ask me to raise investment, but Principal Xu didn’t agree. Do you know why?” Cheng Sheng explained, then looked at Da Tiantian with a strange gaze.

Da Tiantian was completely stunned.

She never expected that this Director Bi had actually contacted Principal Xu Xiaozhong and wanted Cheng Sheng to invest in the film.

Yup!

Why didn't Xu Xiaozhong agree?

Is there something about it that I don't know?

"Why?" Da Tian Tian asked curiously.

“Because Xu Xiaozhong read the script and thought it was terrible,” Cheng Sheng said.

"The script is bad? No way! Uncle said it's very profound!" Da Tian Tian blinked her eyes and said.

Cheng Sheng rolled his eyes.

"Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" is indeed profound, so profound that no one can understand it.

It has to be said that Director Bi is quite remarkable. According to past experience, Director Bi has sought many investors, but no one was optimistic about his script.

But what about Director Bi?
With a tenacious spirit, he started filming the movie "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" despite opposition from those around him and the hundreds of thousands of yuan he borrowed from various sources.

After filming wrapped, he only had two hundred yuan left in his pocket.

After learning that the film would also require publicity and distribution costs, he chose to crowdfund.

While countless aspiring directors were still struggling to secure funding, Director Bi managed to raise 1900 million yuan from 121 shareholders using only his persuasive skills. This enabled him to revise and refine his film until its release, and he even held an expert seminar at the China Film Archive.

All I can say is that Director Bi has a really sharp tongue.

Keep in mind that this was back in 2012. To be able to borrow tens of thousands of yuan just by talking, you really need to have some real skills.

What's most shocking is that he was able to swindle another 1900 million.

If Director Bi hadn't made movies, but instead gone into sales, he would definitely have become one of the top salespeople in the country.

If Director Bi could be as quick-witted as he is with his mouth when making movies, his achievements in the film industry would definitely surpass those of Zhang Yimou.

Unfortunately, after its release, "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Circle" received a 2.0 rating on Douban, the lowest ever, which made Director Bi question his life choices.

Why did this happen to the movie I meticulously prepared for eight years and put so much effort into making?

There is definitely someone maliciously smearing their own movie.

In response, Bi Dao published an article criticizing Douban and even threatened to sue it.

In an instant, Bi Dao became the target of ridicule and attacks across the internet.

It is for this reason that Bi Dao, a talented student from Beijing Film Academy, transformed into the 'foolish son of a landlord,' an image that has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Then various conspiracy theories began to spread online, with many believing that he must have had unfathomable connections behind him to be able to attract investment and find so many experts to endorse him.

Even his ability to obtain master's and doctoral degrees was due to manipulation.

Immediately, the entire internet was condemning him.

Even the Beijing Film Academy was implicated.

After all, the Beijing Film Academy has been endorsing Bi Dao to become a talented student.

Now that the myth surrounding Bi Dao has been shattered, the Beijing Film Academy will certainly be questioned as well.

Actually, Cheng Sheng didn't have any conspiracy theories; it's just that people find it hard to believe that someone who isn't particularly talented could obtain resources that are unattainable for ordinary people simply through hard work. (End of Chapter)
