I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Suddenly, his hand slipped and he came across a video that looked somewhat familiar.

Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, and earthquakes have brought the world to the brink of destruction.

A series of disaster images appeared, causing Mo Guangyuan to stop what he was doing.

He looked at the screen on his phone and knew very well that it was a clip from the trailer for "The End of the World." However, he felt that he had never seen the editing techniques and some of the scenes before.

Who is the master editor behind this video?

Mo Guangyuan soon saw that in the conference room that appeared in the second trailer, several plans for humanity to save itself gradually emerged, accompanied by some corresponding scenes.

For example, the distorted light in a desert, the effect of gravitational lensing, the disease that causes crystals to grow on the bodies of people in some impoverished areas, or an experimenter wearing a helmet full of wires, lying in bed preparing to receive a consciousness upload.

These are all new scenes, and they are not edits from other works; they are genuine Lu Ban productions.

Mo Guangyuan only knew that Lu Ban could create such realistic special effects.

"Could this be a new trailer?"

Mo Guangyuan hurriedly tapped the screen to see the information in the short video.

The third trailer for "The End of the World" has been released.

The publisher is Silent Media.

This is the official account!

This is really the third trailer!

Mo Guangyuan immediately skipped to the very beginning and restarted the playback.

He observed that, unlike the previous two trailers, this trailer focused more on humanity's response.

There are three different options, and each one seems feasible.

Moreover, the trailer also shows that this world is different from their own, and the level and direction of their civilization are not the same.

For example, the civilization in the movie doesn't seem to have manned spaceflight technology and encountered many problems when researching wormholes.

For example, it seems that superpowers really exist in this world. Patients whose bodies have grown crystals also have certain superpowers, such as being able to control fire and water, and even bend spoons with telekinesis.

For example, the world in the movie is far more advanced in its research and development of computers than this world, and even the robots are made to look like humans, with artificial intelligence being quite mature.

"So this is a rescue trailer..."

While cleaning and washing the dishes, Mo Guangyuan muttered to himself.

After washing the dishes, he lay back down on the bed and continued scrolling through his phone.

After watching the trailer three times, he browsed the comments section.

This trailer is awesome! Human technology is so cool!

So this didn't happen in our world? I'm suddenly a little disappointed.

[I also saw superpowers. Is the ending going to be some kind of clichéd story where a few people awaken some level-five superpower and then quell the natural disaster?]

I have a feeling that robots might save the world in the end?

[There are even wormholes? I guess humans organized these superhumans and robots to go to the other side of the wormhole to find a suitable planet, and ultimately escape from Earth, which is plagued by natural disasters.]

[I don't think Lu Ban would reveal the answer directly in the trailer. These are definitely just smokescreens!]

Putting everything else aside, this movie definitely has amazing special effects; I'll be watching it on Chinese New Year's Day!

"Indeed, according to the usual formula, what's shown in these trailers is definitely not the main content of the movie. I wonder what kind of ideas Lu Ban has to come up with to save the world."

Mo Guangyuan muttered to himself.

Disaster movies usually end the same way, and Mo Guangyuan didn't think Lu Ban would be annoying during the New Year. Therefore, how to break the deadlock became a topic worth discussing.

The film's marketing and distribution inexplicably turned into a game between the director and the audience. I wonder if anyone could have guessed the ending of the story before the film's release.

Thinking of this, Mo Guangyuan couldn't help but look forward to the day when Lu Ban's movie would be submitted for review. Whether he reviewed it or not, his colleagues would definitely see it. They could then subtly inquire about the ending.

But he quickly realized that being spoiled like this would ruin a good movie, so he decided it was better not to listen to spoilers.

Just as Mo Guangyuan was filled with anticipation and hope, Lu Ban's sample was sent to the review department.

Chapter 532 I can brag about this for a year

After the October holiday, Mo Guangyuan returned to his post.

Having just returned to work, the afterglow of the holiday hadn't faded, and Mo Guangyuan was still enjoying the pleasure of sleeping in until he naturally woke up every day. Even the commute to work seemed longer than before.

But as soon as he arrived at the office, he noticed that although everyone still seemed to be slacking off by clicking the mouse and drinking goji berry tea for health, the atmosphere was clearly different.

An unprecedented tension permeated the office.

nervous?

Having worked for so long, Mo Guangyuan had no idea what the word "nervous" meant.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed like this, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"What's going on? Are we going to fire someone?"

Mo Guangyuan asked Old Li, who seemed the calmest.

"You can't fire someone even if you're joking. The footage has arrived, and the leaders are discussing who should review it."

Old Li took a sip of the goji berry and red date tea in his thermos and said leisurely.

"So serious, is it some blockbuster movie of the year?"

Mo Guangyuan pondered, even those star-studded blockbusters don't have such a grand spectacle, what kind of movie deserves such treatment?

"Lu Ban's new film."

Old Li blew air into the mouth of the thermos.

In an instant, everyone in the office turned to look.

People's eyes showed expressions of expectation, greed, and awe, which quickly disappeared.

Mo Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then his breathing became heavy.

This is Lu Ban's new movie, which has been highly anticipated and is getting a lot of attention!

If I could review it myself, wouldn't I be the first person in the world to see the finished film?

Holy crap, I could brag about this for a year!

Mo Guangyuan felt he had a great advantage.

First of all, I'm considered young at just 30 in the office, and the two recent college graduates who joined last year are inexperienced, so I probably won't hire them.

The remaining elderly men and women, although experienced, are not used to watching horror and thriller films due to health reasons. They are usually given the films by the middle-aged and middle-aged backbone, such as Mo Guangyuan.

As for the others, Mo Guangyuan felt that they didn't understand Lu Ban at all and were just box office fans who followed the trend!

At that moment, the door to the leader's office opened.

Two leaders walked out one after the other.

They glanced at their colleagues, and one of them cleared his throat.

"As you may have heard, the sample of director Lu Ban's new film 'The End of the World' was sent to the bureau yesterday. We need to review the film to prevent any content that is not suitable for public screening."

After the leader finished speaking, the people below began to murmur amongst themselves.

"I think it would be more appropriate to give this review to Xiao Chen. He is young and energetic."

"Lu Ban's movies are very damaging to one's mental health. Let me, someone who is usually cheerful and easygoing, do this job."

"I really didn't mean to refuse. I've been quite busy lately, but if my supervisor gives the order, I'll do it without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Mo Guangyuan patted his chest.

“Boss, I have read all of Lu Ban’s works. I believe I can understand Lu Ban’s creative process well and provide appropriate review opinions.”

Hearing what everyone was saying, the two leaders exchanged a glance, and then the leader who hadn't spoken before spoke up.

"We have heard everyone's suggestions. However, as everyone knows, Lu Ban's film is extremely important to our domestic market, so this review is also very important. Therefore, Lao Zhao and I have decided that the two of us will conduct the review. Everyone, go back and get back to work."

"???"

And this kind of operation?

Mo Guangyuan was dumbfounded.

As the two leaders returned to their offices, the silent crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

He's a cunning and treacherous old man!

These two people never seem to help review films before, and now they're leaking them!

In the office, Lao Zhao glanced at the computer.

I've already copied Lu Ban's new movie to my computer. It's 130 minutes long, which isn't very long.

He checked the time; there was still plenty of time before lunch, enough to watch the whole movie.

He made himself a cup of tea and then turned on the media player.

As soon as the movie started, Lao Zhao saw a helicopter with rescue signs on it, and it was swinging a rope downwards, as if it was going to rescue someone.

He saw a strong man wearing a safety rope, pulling himself down the rope.

Old Zhao then realized that he was in a volcanic crater.

The volcano has no lava, and there is even water in the crater, forming a lake, where birds sing and flowers bloom, like a paradise.

The person trapped appeared to be hiking here; she had gotten stuck in a crevice in the mountainside and was barely holding on to avoid falling.

Old Zhao had seen a lot of movies and had experienced all sorts of ups and downs, so he naturally knew what was going to happen next.

It's nothing more than a series of thrilling and exciting maneuvers, in which the man saves the woman—that's how the protagonist is portrayed.

Just as Lao Zhao had predicted, the woman nearly fell off a cliff, but the man reached out and grabbed her at the last second.

Just then, a deep rumble sounded, startling countless birds into flight.

Old Zhao moved a little closer to the screen.

The next moment, the lake in the crater boiled and turned red. Before the helicopter could fly away, scorching lava gushed out like blood gushing from a severed artery. The crimson torrent swallowed the helicopter whole, melting the woman who had just been rescued and the man who looked like the protagonist.
