Huayu Entertainment, all I can do is make bad movies.

Neptune Film & Television Company.

"I have lived for 14000 years..."

Zu Feng's calm voice shocked everyone present.

"Cut! Gao Yuanyuan, you're a student. Compared to the professors, it's okay for you to have exaggerated expressions. Don't be shy and reserved."

Gao Yuanyuan pouted at Wang Hai behind the camera to show her dissatisfaction.

Among all the actors, she was the only one who dared to be arrogant because of her favor.

She was simply unaware of it, allowing the subtle feelings of love to grow within her.

Wang Hai smiled slightly: "No need to rest, let's do it again."

Like most film scripts, "The Man from Earth" uses a three-act structure to drive emotions, and the entire story progresses very clearly.

Act One (Doubt): The bombshell statement, "I have lived for 14000 years," is dropped, creating suspense.

Act Two (Climax): During a religious discussion, the shocking secret that "I am Jesus" is revealed, overturning everyone's understanding.

Act Three (Relief): A lie that "it was just a joke" brings relief to everyone, followed by the complete collapse of the truth that "your father is me," giving the audience an extreme rollercoaster experience from tension to shock.

The difference between this film and most movies is that the source of its exciting moments is different.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon is like an action movie, and the thrill comes from Van Loon himself, as the protagonist repeatedly takes on high-difficulty and dangerous stunts in the film.

The biggest appeal of Stephen Chow's works is their nonsensical humor. Without the unexpected and hilarious quirky nonsensical humor, Stephen Chow would have to step down from his pedestal.

Other film and television works either rely on touching plots where the female lead suffers from various intractable diseases, or on explicit scenes.

The appeal of the low-budget sci-fi film "The Man from Earth" lies in its intellectual battles.

This film lacks flashy special effects and famous action scenes, but its purpose is to bring the audience the tense thrill of having their intellect manipulated.

Round after round of sharp questions and precise answers ensure that the story, which lasts for more than 90 minutes, is engaging from beginning to end.

Therefore, actors' performances on camera are very important, especially their acting skills.

Audiences in movie theaters don't delve into the plot in a short time; they simply passively accept the emotions conveyed by the actors.

Yan Danchen: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Wu: "Ancestor, you just admitted that you are 14000 years old."

"Grandpa, you'll be 900 years old at most!" Yan Danchen's words brought laughter to the room.

Wang Hai glanced at his watch: "Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone, go home and get some rest. Come back this afternoon."

Filming was concentrated at dusk and night, so Wang Hai simply let the actors rest during the day and join the crew at night, so that they could better immerse themselves in the story.

"Director, can I sleep on the sofa? It's so late, I'm too lazy to go back to my dorm." Huang Xiaoming asked Wang Hai.

It's a hassle to go back to the dorm at two or three in the morning, so Haiwang Movies is the best place to rest.

"Anything is fine, as long as they don't rummage through things."

No sooner had Wang Hai finished speaking than Chen Kun put his arm around Huang Xiaoming and said, "Then I'll stay and keep Xiaoming company. Zu Feng, please take care of Yan Danchen on the way."

Wang Hai raised an eyebrow, his gossipy nature igniting.

Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, and Zhao Wei were once known as the "Three Musketeers of Beijing Film Academy," so close that they could share the same pair of pants.

It seems that this is indeed the case recently.

But Wang Hai knew that the three of them would eventually go their separate ways.

There are two rumors circulating, one of which is a love triangle.

Huang Xiaoming has a crush on Zhao Wei, but Zhao Wei treats Chen Kun as a close friend and communicates with him more, which leads to a rift between Huang and Chen.

Another rumor is that it's because of the casting for the movie "The Message".

In an effort to secure a role, Huang Xiaoming implied to the production company that Chen Kun was too effeminate, which led to a falling out between the two.

"Director, let's go."

"Oh, oh." Wang Hai was startled awake by the greetings from Zu Feng, Yan Danchen, and the others, and then realized that someone was intentionally or unintentionally spying on him.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan follow the others out of the company like a frightened deer, Wang Hai quickly chased after her.

Zu Feng, Ma Niu, and their group of rough men rode in a van, which was fine, but Gao Yuanyuan had to personally drive her Audi to give them a ride.

A moment later, Yan Ni and the others boarded the car one after another, yawning. Seeing Gao Yuanyuan standing motionless, the driver asked curiously, "Gao Yuanyuan, aren't you leaving?"

When Wang Hai secretly hooked her finger, Gao Yuanyuan, her heart pounding, hurriedly said in a panic, "I...I forgot something in the house. You guys go first, I'll take a taxi home later."

"Take a taxi yourself?" Fang Bei asked in surprise. "Are you sure? There aren't many cars on the road at this time."

Gao Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment, and awkwardly scratched the soles of her shoes with all ten toes.

Wang Hai poked his head out from behind the door frame: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? They said they'd take a taxi, so just take a taxi. Hurry up and go, I'll make sure everyone gets to school."

"oh."

Fang Bei scratched his head and started the car, wondering what had gotten into his boss this time, that he was so angry.

As the van's taillights gradually disappeared, Wang Hai darted out of the house, grinned at Gao Yuanyuan, and said, "Let's go home."

"No...I won't go back," Gao Yuanyuan stammered.

Wang Hai said happily, "Oh... you can come to my house too."

Gao Yuanyuan's face flushed red instantly, but thankfully it wasn't too noticeable in the darkness. She quickly explained, "You... don't talk nonsense, I need to go back to school too."

"Yes, sir. Let's go, or those two inside will turn into rabbits." Wang Hai led the way towards the Audi.

Once in the car, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun turn into rabbits?"

"With your ears perked up like that, what will you become if not a rabbit?"

After Wang Hai finished speaking, the color that had just faded from Gao Yuanyuan's face suddenly returned, and she said in a voice barely above a whisper, "You...you drive quickly."

It's all messed up.

This is so embarrassing.

Wang Hai couldn't imagine what kind of expression the other person would have if he waited for the right moment to peel away the layers of the other person's skin like an onion.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Are you driving...?"

"Drive, drive to the edge of the city, roll down all the windows, and trade speed for a bit of thrill..."

Wang Hai seamlessly transitioned to singing his favorite song from the past, "You Got Me Drunk."

His singing ability is at a KTV level.

Compared to professional singers, they are insignificant.

Among the average person, their skills and emotional intelligence are absolutely top-notch.

After the song ended, Wang Hai looked at Gao Yuanyuan, who was listening quietly, and asked, "How was your singing?"

Gao Yuanyuan feigned disgust and said, "It sounds awful!"

"That's not the truth."

"No, that's not it, it's the truth."

Wang Hai laughed heartily. In the deep darkness, the two bickered all the way to the Labor College.

After a long while, the car headlights pierced the darkness, revealing a school campus.

"I...I'm leaving."

"Um."

Gao Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose. Wang Hai's tone was too bland, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She wanted to say something, or stay a little longer.

But in the end, she succumbed to the modesty expected of a girl.

"You're leaving already?"

"what?"

Gao Yuanyuan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Wang Hai, who was leaning against the car window and smiling at her.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"What did you say?"

Wang Hai said mysteriously, "Come closer, I came secretly."

"What secret?"

"Lower it a bit more."

Gao Yuanyuan lowered her upper body suspiciously, looking into Wang Hai's eyes: "Speak quickly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Hai had already planted a kiss on her lips with lightning speed, saying in rapid succession, "It's this secret, remember not to tell anyone."

"You, you, you..."

"Stop talking to me, go back to your dorm and sleep. I'm leaving." Wang Hai turned the steering wheel with a smug look on his face.
