Chapter 235: I sell movie props, that should be very reasonable, right?
"You say this... is a movie prop?"
In the warehouse, Liu Ruiming looked serious, checking them one by one.
"Yeah." Su Meng said nonchalantly.
"I'm preparing to film 'The Wandering Earth' next, it's a sci-fi blockbuster, these are all props I prepared."
Liu Ruiming took a deep breath, his voice sounding complicated.
"Your props... are too realistic..."
Duan Duan Jiang walked over, looking resentful.
"Su Meng, you didn't even give a heads-up, look at what happened today..."
Su Meng glanced at him and shouted in surprise.
"Eh? Boss, why did you change your pants?"
Duan Duan Jiang stiffened, almost cursing out loud.
Damn it, why do you have to bring up the sore spot?
How could I possibly tell you that I just wet my pants because I was scared by you?
Do I still want my dignity as a boss?
"Staff Officer Liu, I've verified it!"
Shi Shi Shi Dazhi walked over, carrying the sci-fi-looking gun.
"This gun is just a prop, not a real thing, and it has no lethality!"
Oh? Su Meng subconsciously glanced at Wang Xiaofei.
Wang Xiaofei secretly winked at him, making him understand instantly.
Clearly, Wang Xiaofei's props were measured; he didn't bring out the real things.
Yes, Su Meng now had no doubt that Wang Xiaofei definitely had the ability to do so.
After all, the system warning wasn't something to mess around with!
Liu Ruiming heard him say this, and his expression finally relaxed a bit.
"However..." Shi Shi Shi Dazhi hesitated and continued.
"These guns are built... if they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, and are slightly modified, they could possess considerable lethality!"
What? The expressions of the few people became serious again.
Su Meng was also a bit numb.
"Big Brother, I'm just making some props to film a movie, do you have to be so serious?"
Liu Ruiming looked at him, his expression still very serious.
"After I go back, I will report to the higher-level departments."
"My personal opinion is that it's best for the military to participate in this movie."
Ah? Su Meng was stunned.
Liu Ruiming shook his head and continued to explain.
"Although they are fake guns, their appearance is too intimidating; it already involves the suspicion of privately manufacturing imitation firearms."
"And if someone really wants to smear you, just based on the fact that they possess lethality after modification, it could count as illegal manufacturing and storage of firearms!"
"According to our country's current laws, it starts at three years!"
What the hell?
Su Meng was completely confused; I just wanted to film a movie, how did it end up starting at three years?
Duan Duan Jiang was also anxious.
"Staff Officer Liu, don't scare me."
"Su Meng is still young, he can't bear such a big charge!"
Liu Ruiming nodded and continued.
"So my personal opinion is to let the military participate."
"With the military backing you, some things will be easier to handle."
"Of course, the decision is yours."
Su Meng lowered his head to think, then slowly shook his head.
"This movie is a bit special, it's better if the military doesn't come forward."
Seeing Liu Ruiming looking puzzled, Su Meng laughed.
"I want to impact the European and American markets with this movie."
"Let them know that Dragon Country people can also save the world."
"If the military participates, with the attitude of those foreigners, this movie might just... hehe..."
What? Duan Duan Jiang was instantly dumbfounded.
Aren't we just filming a movie?
Who knew your ambition was actually this big?
A flash of astonishment also crossed Liu Ruiming's eyes, and he slowly spat out a few words.
"Cultural counter-invasion!"
Su Meng waved his hand and laughed.
"It's not that serious."
"With my small arms and legs, I can't carry such a big flag."
"And I'm just an artist, I don't want to get too involved with the military."
"But the European and American movie market is so big, since I've filmed a movie, I also want to get a piece of the pie and earn more money."
"That should be very reasonable, right?"
Liu Ruiming looked at him deeply and nodded slowly.
"Reasonable! Very reasonable!"
"So..." Su Meng pointed to the gun and laughed.
"In order to film a movie with enough immersion, I made some movie props, that should also be very reasonable, right?"
"And these props will only be used for film and television shooting!"
"Shouldn't need to be so serious, right?"
Liu Ruiming stared at him, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes, and said slowly.
"Are you sure these props will only be used for film and television shooting~~?"
"Yes!" Su Meng nodded, saying firmly.
"I am very sure that these props will only be used for film and television shooting!"
"I understand..." Liu Ruiming nodded and fell into deep thought.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming increasingly tense, Duan Duan Jiang quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Staff Officer Liu, didn't you come to discuss filming a movie with Su Meng?"
"Su Meng, the military wants to invite you to film a modern military theme..."
"*Cough cough cough!*" Liu Ruiming interrupted him and said indifferently.
"It's like this, I came to see you this time to discuss cooperation."
"The August First Film Studio wants to film a sci-fi movie..."
"Eh?" Duan Duan Jiang was instantly dumbfounded.
"Staff Officer Liu, wasn't it a modern military theme?"
"How did it become a sci-fi movie..."
"You heard wrong!" Liu Ruiming interrupted him directly and turned to Su Meng again.
"So I represent the August First Film Studio, wanting to purchase a batch of movie props from your prop company."
"For example..."
He walked a few steps and stopped in front of a sealed suit.
He patted a piece of equipment on the outside of the sealed suit and smiled slightly.
"For example... individual exoskeleton!"
Su Meng looked at him deeply and slowly spat out two words.
"Deal!"
"Eh? Su Meng, why do I feel like something is a bit wrong?"
Duan Duan Jiang looked at Shi Shi Shi Dazhi, who was patrolling around, and whispered.
Liu Ruiming had already left, but he left Shi Shi Shi Dazhi behind.
Under the guise of "prop production supervisor," heaven knows how such a crappy title came about.
"What's wrong?"
Su Meng carefully examined the individual exoskeleton and said nonchalantly.
Duan Duan Jiang scratched his head, looking confused.
"Our movie has already been filed, and besides..."
He pointed to those guns and continued.
"These guns, we have also filed them with the relevant departments, and obtained firearm usage permits..."
"Boss!" Su Meng interrupted him directly.
"I have such a big prop company, isn't it reasonable to want to earn some money?"
"If a film studio wants to buy props, I sell some movie props to subsidize the household, isn't that very reasonable?"
"Do you want me to lose money?"
"What kind of bad intentions do you have?"
"Do you want me to find Sister Qin and have her give you a lecture?"
"Don't!" Upon hearing the words "Sister Qin," Duan Duan Jiang's face turned green instantly.
"Don't bother Sister Qin, she's been busy to death lately."
"All kinds of stars and artists, all kinds of major investors, are lining up waiting for her favor."
"It has to be said that it's our Su Meng, they are all coming for you..."
"*Ring ring ring~~~*" Su Meng's phone suddenly rang.
Answering the phone, Su Meng was in a good mood.
"Sister Xia, I was just looking for you, who would have thought we would be so in sync?"
Yes, the person calling was none other than Bilibili's CEO, Xia Xia Qingqing.
Xia Xia Qingqing's tone was a bit resentful.
"Cult Leader, you are being too carefree as a hands-off boss, aren't you?"
"Our web variety show has already accumulated a few episodes, and we are preparing to launch it officially next week."
"As the chief planner, shouldn't you care about it?"
Ah? Su Meng was stunned, then suddenly realized.
Damn it, I've been working non-stop lately and forgot about the web variety show in cooperation with Bilibili.
Thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea.
"Sister Xia, don't rush to launch it yet, let me run an ad first."
"Oh my, that's great!" Xia Xia Qingqing beamed with joy instantly.
"With your popularity, our show will definitely explode!"
"How do you plan to advertise?"
Su Meng laughed and said.
"You don't need to worry about that, I'll take a few people to show support in a few days."
"By the way, Sister Xia, does our station have a manga adaptation business?"
Xia Xia Qingqing was instantly unhappy.
"Who are you looking down on?"
"Our Bilibili is the largest ACG content website in the country."
"You're asking if we have a manga adaptation business?"
"Do you have any new works?"
Su Meng laughed.
"There's a loser named Xianyun Xianyun Shisilang who is preparing to release a new book called 'Buddha is Dao'."
"I'm thinking it would be better to follow up with a manga adaptation directly."
"Xianyun Xianyun Shisilang?" Xia Xia Qingqing thought for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"I have a vague impression, is he a loser writing books on Feilu?"
"With his loser style, what kind of good book can he write?"
