Yu Le leaned back in the boss's chair and glanced at the backend of Tencent Music.

The red curve in the background data is like a ton of chewing gum – it just won't stop.

Xue Zhiqian's three songs are a sure thing.

Just then, my phone vibrated violently in my pocket—a cross-border courier service.

As soon as the call connected, a screeching sound like a groundhog came from the speaker:

"Boss!!! We did it!!!! Five hundred facial capture nodes! Completely done!" Mark spoke rapidly, "We rewrote the underlying rendering algorithm, and the rendering effect is incredibly realistic!"

"Boss! We can start up! Avatar can officially begin filming!"

"Okay." Yu Le threw the tissue into the trash can. "Pack your things."

"No problem, boss! I've already contacted some of the biggest studios in Los Angeles! As long as the funding is in place..."

"I won't rent a shed," Yu Le interrupted him.

The voice on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped.

Mark was stuck for a full five seconds.

"Not renting a studio? Boss, how are we supposed to film if we don't rent a studio?"

Yu Le stood up and walked to the French windows.

"Package up the core equipment."

"Bring Kevin along, and bring along the core technical staff of the Light and Shadow Lab."

"Buy a plane ticket and come to China."

A heavy thud could be heard coming from the other end of the phone.

"To China?!" Mark's voice rose eight octaves. "Boss, this is a sci-fi epic with full CGI effects! China simply doesn't have the industrial base for this!"

"Who said I was going to use industrial fundamentals?" Yu Le tapped his finger twice on the glass. "I'm going to use physics fundamentals."

"Things shot entirely against a green screen look incredibly fake."

"I want a combination of live-action and CG shooting."

Mark was completely bewildered.

"Real-world scenery? Where would you find real-world scenery for Pandora's floating mountains? Anti-gravity terrain doesn't exist on Earth!"

"That's because you're inexperienced," Yu Le chuckled. "Go look up a place name."

"China, Xiangxi, Zhangjiajie."

Yu Le uttered these three words.

"You have three days to pack the equipment."

"I'll be waiting for you in western Hunan in three days."

Yu Le hung up the phone immediately.

.....

Burbank Light Lab, Los Angeles.

Mark stared at his phone, which was beeping, feeling completely frozen.

Kevin, sporting two enormous dark circles under his eyes, came closer.

"Mark, what did the boss say? When are we going to start?"

Mark turned his head stiffly, looking at the room full of expensive equipment.

"The boss told us to pack up and go to China."

"Filming a sci-fi blockbuster in China?" Kevin grabbed his already thinning hair. "Is he crazy? Filming aliens on the Great Wall?"

David peeked out from behind the computer screen.

"Mark, I just searched on Google Maps for that place called 'Zhangjiajie' that the boss mentioned."

David turned the monitor around.

On the screen was a high-resolution aerial photograph of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie.

Three thousand unique peaks rise abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds.

Clouds and mist swirl around the mountainside, cutting the vertical quartz sandstone peaks into sections.

Visually, it appears as if Stonehenge is suspended in mid-air.

The entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

Mark's mouth was open, and drool dripped onto the keyboard.

Kevin's thick-rimmed glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose.

"My God..." Mark clutched his head in his hands, "Is this even a landscape on Earth?"

"This is a complete replica of Pandora!"

"Book a plane ticket." Mark grabbed the car keys from the table. "To China!"

......

Beijing, the headquarters building of Salted Fish Entertainment.

Tang Yan sat on the sofa with her hands on her knees.

The popularity of "Summer's Desire" has made her extremely busy with job offers.

She specifically canceled two magazine photoshoots today and rushed back to the company.

Yu Le tossed a brown paper bag onto the coffee table.

"Open it and take a look."

Tang Yan unwound the wire and pulled out the documents inside.

Agreement on the transfer of film and television adaptation rights for "My Sunshine".

There was also a script underneath.

"Boss, this is..." Tang Yan looked up.

"This is for your new drama." Yu Le unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of water. "The female lead is Zhao Mosheng."

Tang Yan turned to the first page of the script.

There was no car accident, no amnesia, and no real or fake heiresses.

There is only one story of reconciliation, from campus to workplace.

"Summer Beauty let you reap the benefits of being innocent and naive." Yu Le put down her cup. "But too much of a benefit can be cloying."

"For this movie, you should lift your bangs up."

"To play a normal person who has been through the hardships of life but still has backbone."

Tang Yan nodded repeatedly.

Countless young actresses are scrambling to change their image.

Her own boss simply threw a top-tier IP in her face.

This is called a dimensional reduction attack.

"Thank you, boss!" Tang Yan stood up and bowed.

"Go and get ready. You'll be joining the crew next month." Yu Le waved his hand.

Tang Yan left with the script in her arms.

The office door closed.

Yang Nuo pushed open the door and came in, holding several itinerary forms in her hand.

"Boss, the venue in Xiangxi has been arranged. As soon as the local government heard it was a Hollywood-level sci-fi blockbuster, they directly allocated a closed area of ​​the Wulingyuan core scenic area to us."

Yu Le stood up and stuffed the thermos into her backpack.

"Let's go teach the foreigners how to make movies."

........

April, western Hunan.

Wulingyuan Scenic Area.

Several buses were parked at the foot of the mountain.

The car door opened.

Mark was the first to jump out of the car.

His feet had barely touched the ground when he froze on the spot.

Kevin and David followed closely behind.

A group of top Hollywood tech geeks have all been turned into wooden sculptures.

Ahead, three thousand quartz sandstone peaks stand vertically.

Reaching directly into the clouds.

Clouds and mist swirl around the mountainside.

The mountain peaks appear to be completely detached from the ground, suspended in the air.

"God!" Mark clutched his head in his hands.

Kevin took off his thick-rimmed glasses, wiped them frantically on his clothes, and put them back on.

"This defies the laws of physics!" David shouted, pointing to the highest peak.

Yu Le, dressed in a gray windbreaker, slowly got out of the car.

He unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of goji berry water.

"Basic physics knowledge?"

Yu Le pointed to the forest of peaks.

"That's physics."

"Your server took half a month to render, and you managed to produce this kind of natural lighting and shadow?"

Mark suddenly turned his head and grabbed Yu Le's arm.

"Boss! You're right! This is Pandora!"

"Real-view scan! Real-view scan now!" Mark shouted to the technical team behind him.

Dozens of foreigners carried extremely heavy 3D scanners up the mountain.

A makeshift command post for the film crew.

Richard, the executive producer sent by Fox Studios, sat in a folding chair.

Yu Le still intends to have them in charge of distribution this time.

Richard slammed a list of actors on the table.

"Mr. Yu, I must raise my objection."

Richard pointed to several names on the list.

"Human mercenary captain, you used a Chinese man named Wu Jing?"
