My game is depressing worldwide.

Meanwhile, the Mingcheng short drama filming base.

"Brother Xuan, you're really good at directing?!" Yu Xiaoming looked completely bewildered.

"I really only have a basic understanding of this."

Yu Xiaoming looked around: lighting, set design, acting direction, camera positioning...

"Is this what you call 'having a basic understanding'?"

"I really only have a superficial understanding."

Chen Xuan was somewhat helpless. "You don't believe me when I tell you the truth?"

The knowledge in my head is given to me by the system.

Its strength lies in its comprehensiveness, but it still can't compare to some professional directors.

Fortunately, he's a cheat code.

The script and storyboards for "The Invisible Guardian" are all in his head, and he also has an amazing memory, so controlling the set shouldn't be a problem.

Today is the third day of filming, and the filming progress is proceeding in an orderly and stable manner.

Short dramas have the advantage of a short production cycle and a low barrier to entry for creation.

In the current context of overcapacity, to put it dramatically...

Any nouveau riche with money in their pocket can walk into a short drama filming base, assemble a crew on the same day, and start filming the next day.

In addition, although "Invisible Guardian" is a live-action interactive film and game, its presentation is actually 90% images and 10% video.

This further reduced the difficulty of filming.

Firstly, it can cover up the actor's lack of acting skills.

Short dramas emphasize structure and emotion, but the actors' performances are visibly awkward.

Especially serious subjects like espionage, when filmed as videos, are simply unwatchable.

Moreover, in traditional film and television shooting sets, not to mention the retakes due to acting problems, even the basic positioning on set sometimes requires a long rehearsal.

A photo-based mode can effectively avoid the above drawbacks.

Finally, it saves costs. Using photos as the primary method is very economical, as it's a level below videos.

A computer was set up in a corner of the film set.

Shen Qingtu sat there, staring intently at the computer.

Once she has filmed some good footage, she will make a rough cut and combine it with the program to see the final effect.

If there are any problems, they need to be identified promptly and the filming reshot.

If problems are discovered only after filming is finished, restarting and reshooting can be very costly.

Therefore, although Chen Xuan was appointed as a director, he was different from a normal director. He also had to work with Shen Qingtu to determine how the materials would be presented in the game.

Therefore, another director who frequently collaborates with the eccentric cat was also assigned as an assistant.

Well, actually I came here to learn from others.

Come and learn about the filming of interactive movies and games, and what the difference is between them and traditional short dramas and bad movies.

Once the actors finished their makeup touch-ups, filming resumed.

Chen Xuan stared at the monitor and directed, "This scene needs to highlight the antagonism between Zhuang Xiaoman and Xiao Tu amidst their ambiguous relationship, so this gesture of touching the cheek can't be the kind of flirtatious behavior between lovers; it needs to be somewhat aggressive... Yes! That's it."

Okay, this scene is a side story for when the favorability rating isn't high enough. It's no longer ambiguous hostility, but rather the prelude to a predator's attack. Make your eyes fierce, tighten your eye muscles slightly, and imagine the other person owes you money and isn't paying it back. Alright!

The script supervisor stood not far away, looking completely bewildered.

Although he participated in the filming, he had almost nothing to do.

The episode where you can make the most money...

Filming is progressing rapidly.

Chen Xuan glanced at the time, clapped his hands, and said, "That's it for today's filming. Everyone go back and study the script carefully."

Yu Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, asked, "Is it ending so early?"

"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"The date... oh right!" Yu Xiaoming's eyes lit up, "The date Brother Xuan is going on stage to receive his award!"

To promote the healthy development of the industry and support independent games and low-budget studios, the Game Committee holds an award selection for outstanding independent games every six months.

The Game Committee, officially known as the Game Publishing and Content Review Committee.

It is a position in China specifically responsible for game industry publishing approval, content review, market supervision, policy formulation, macro-control, and promoting industry development, etc.

Therefore, although the award is not large in scale and is awarded frequently, it is of great significance.

The main benefit is that you can get a free featured spot in the official store.

Many excellent works have been created by award-winning genius game developers over the years.

Chen Xuan was nominated once before, but unfortunately he did not win.

He is most confident of winning the Best Screenplay award this time.

Other awards are not impossible, but they are more difficult to obtain.

I glanced at the system panel.

My defense penetration value was already a full 10, but it dropped to zero after I redeemed "Invisible Guardian". Now it has accumulated to more than 4.

Unfortunately, online public opinion issues affected subsequent sales, causing the speed at which the defense value was obtained to slow down considerably.

System, ten consecutive draws!

This was the first time Chen Xuan had drawn a card after the system upgrade, and he was genuinely excited.

What will I get?

Blue, white, blue...

After the upgrade, the chance of getting a blue item increased significantly.

It's just that the items you get are randomly obtained, and most of them are useless.

Finally, a splash of purple appeared amidst the blue sky and white clouds.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a useful intelligence card (purple quality)] x1

Not bad.

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then did another ten consecutive draws.

This time, however, a dazzling golden hue appeared amidst the blue sky and white clouds.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained +1 to your character attribute Luck (Orange quality)]

hiss!

Chen Xuan gasped.

A little is called luck, a lot is called destiny.

This thing is invisible and intangible, but its effects are very real.

If he had a bit more luck, Chen Xuan suspected that he could easily win the Game of the Year award for a random game like Getting Over It.

Both of these gacha pulls were quite successful.

[Use a useful intelligence card (purple quality)?]

use!

[1. Cui Jing, deputy director of the Industrial Development Office of the Lincheng Tourism Committee, is under pressure from her superiors due to poor performance in the first half of the year.]

2. Mr. Xiaomeng and other content creators are acting under the direction of Wang Hongguang and are doing everything they can to smear the Go to the Moon campaign.

Upon seeing the second item, Chen Xuan frowned.

Wang Hongguang is an old acquaintance; they had a conflict in the school cafeteria before.

The ghost lingers.

Thinking about it, Chen Xuan walked to a corner of the set and asked, "Any new developments?"

Shen Qingtu nodded: "I was just about to call you. Zhou Qian sent me a message. He's now certain that the most arrogant content creator was acting under someone else's orders."

Chen Xuan leaned over to look at the screen.

The above is a forwarded chat log.

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: To be honest, I'm just here for fun, I don't want to get into any trouble.]

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: Besides, how can I believe you? Do you, a content creator with 100,000 followers, have that much money? You just casually mention spending 20,000 yuan to buy my information.]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: Dude, don't ask too many questions]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: I can only tell you that the Asylum Studio has messed with some people we can't afford to mess with]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: Do you think I could possibly owe you this little bit of money?]

The person who is supposed to be someone you can't afford to offend is, without a doubt, Wang Hongguang.

If it's something that content creators do spontaneously, then it's really hard to target them.

Since they accepted bribes, they were courting death.

"What should we do? Should we make some targeted responses?"

"No need, it will be fine after tonight." Chen Xuan shook his head. "At that time, great scholars will be there to debate the classics with me."
