"really?"

Yan Huan exclaimed excitedly, "I want to see the Clockwork Boy who becomes the Prison Watch Boy!"

"..."

Chapter 836 What are you doing?

"...!"

Almost within ten seconds of Yan Huan sending a message to the board's group chat, Topa and Old Aodi, among others, responded.

[Topa: Huh? Croker Pictures? Isn't that from gold dust...?]

[Gold Sand: Ha, how can you blame me?]

[Gold Sand: I would have sent the bill to that winged guy a long time ago.]

[Otto: Heh heh, it seems I did forget about that.]

[Otto: Alright, I'll approve the funding immediately. In the meantime, Mr. Yan Huan, please keep a close eye on the reconstruction work at the Kroc Film Park.]

The approval process for the alfalfa lineage was extremely fast; almost at the same time Yan Huan was looking at her phone, a Dream Building Engineer arrived at the ruins.

"Ah... what a huge place. Are the Memory Masters of the Flowing Light Memory Court still there? I really don't want to take on this kind of work... I guess I'll just outsource it."

"Stop yelling and get to work."

Staring at the large group of dream builders who were starting to get busy around him, the Clock Boy hooded man was shocked:

"Such high efficiency."

"Mr. Yan Huan, I don't know how to thank you enough."

"So, are you interested in making movies?"

"Making a movie?" Yan Huan pondered, stroking her chin.

"Forget it, aren't you guys making animated films? I can only make live-action films at most."

"I have absolutely no interest in cartoons or anything like that."

"Ah, Mr. Yan Huan, I think you've misunderstood," the hooded man with the clockwork kid's head laughed.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Pease, and I'm the [producer] of the Watch Kids animated series. Welcome to Crook Film Park!"

"As you just learned, the copyright to 'The Watch Kid' is with us."

"Our cinema was about to reopen, but unexpectedly, we suffered an extremely severe blow from the family..."

Thinking about this, Piss felt an urge to ignite the explosives on his body.

"Damn it, why isn't it being repaired here?"

"Cough cough..."

"Well, it's definitely being repaired now. Thanks to you, Mr. Yan Huan."

Pix said with great gratitude:

"By the way, regarding the damage to Crocker Studios, our film industry has suffered a major blow."

"Our funding problem... do you think we could try to find someone relevant to resolve it?"

"Oh, then I'll ask again."

Yan Huan immediately started typing on her phone screen.

[Yan Huan: The producer at Crocker Films is demanding compensation for lost work time.]

[Audi:...? ]

[Audi: Hehehe, if I miss work, I definitely need some compensation.]

[Otti: However, according to Pinocchio's relevant rules, this subsidy won't be much.]

[Yan Huan: Sending, sending, sending... Even a small mosquito is still meat.]

"Ding-dong—!!"

The next moment, Pix's phone rang.

"Huh?!" He quickly checked the message that popped up on his phone.

Received a transfer of 500000 credits from ***.

"We're here! We're here! That was fast!" Piss exclaimed excitedly, looking at Yan Huan.

"You guys are the saviors of Croker Films!"

March 7, who had been listening the whole time, scratched his head: "Only 500,000... is that really enough for you guys to make an animation?"

"I remember, making animated films costs a lot of money."

"Yes, but this is just lost wages, which is already a lot by industry standards."

Piss said embarrassedly:

“We do have some…minor funding issues, but please believe me, Croker Films will not be defeated so easily.”

"probably not."

"As you all know, Crocker Films was founded by that mysterious [watchmaker]."

"This tycoon has been guiding the film industry from behind the scenes. Thanks to his business acumen and boundless creativity, 'The Watch Kid' is what it is today."

"Ah... a watchmaker?" March 7th was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Crocker Films is indeed a product of Watchmaker.

But the problem is... the watchmaker is no longer alive.

Pease continued:

"But now we've lost contact with him, the film company is leaderless, and it's repeatedly suffering setbacks in market competition..."

"So, what was that Iris family member here for?" March 7th asked.

“Her,” Pease said irritably.

"She came to me proposing to buy the rights to Watch Kid, claiming it was to save Crocker Films—"

"Bah! That's utter nonsense! Without Watch Boy, what's the point of Croker Pictures?"

“The family loves to erase the existence of watchmakers; I know their character.”

"If even the Watch Kids animated series is affected by them, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Pix's gaze was grave:

"Perhaps one day, Pinocchio will no longer have any legends about watchmakers, and will only have the family's history of self-praise."

"Although we are currently facing funding problems, we are sure we will find a solution!"

"How do we solve this?" Yan Huan asked.

"The compensation is only 500,000. Do you want to take on some other work?"

"No, no, no... Croker Pictures doesn't have that kind of time to spare."

Pease explained:

"We have been preparing a commemorative work for the 500th anniversary of Watch Kid – the 'Dreamy Memories' film series."

"This is a long-awaited work by the audience, and it is also a collection of stories from the hundreds of years since the beginning of 'The Clockwork Kid'."

"If the film is successfully released, the film industry will be able to reverse its decline through box office revenue, and the funding for its resurgence will also be resolved."

Pease said dejectedly:

"But unfortunately... the film reel was severely damaged in the previous accident."

"We tried our best to repair it, but we could only restore some messy fragments, which were mixed with scrapped plots, so we had to re-edit it."

"Alas, who could have predicted that the director, [The Watchmaker], would disappear without a trace?"

"Everyone in the crew knows that the story of the Watch Boy was inspired by his experiences."

"But none of us knew his background, and we didn't dare to take over the director's job without authorization."

"For the future of the Watchmaker, if you have any news about [The Watchmaker] or know any stories about [The Watchmaker], please be sure to let us know!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan crossed her arms and said confidently:

"If that's the case, then it seems we've come at just the right time."

"To be honest, we not only knew [the watchmaker], but he also personally welcomed us into Pinocene."

“?” Piss raised an eyebrow:

"Really? You can't joke with me at a time like this."

Yan Huan remained calm:

"Why would I lie to you? We, the nameless ones, have always been honest, kind, and innocent people."

"Emmmmmm..."

“This… Mr. Yan Huan, it’s not that I don’t want to believe you, but there are too many false things in dreams. Please at least provide some proof.”

"Proof? No problem, no problem..."

Immediately, Yan Huan pulled out a meme life form from her bosom.

It turned out to be the bewildered clock boy.
