Chapter 471

~6 min read 1,064 words

Su Meng's prop team was a reward from the system—could there be any doubt about their professional ability?

The system even issued a special warning regarding this prop team!

"Props made by the prop team can only be used for film and television shoots!"

So reading it the other way around... ahem, ahem, ahem...

In his previous life, the props for this drama were already extraordinarily refined.

But one could still find a few continuity mistakes here and there.

For instance, phone models that didn't match the era, records and coins that didn't match the year, and so on.

The all-powerful netizens even managed to find a full 21 continuity mistakes.

Of course, even the most refined TV drama will occasionally have a few flaws—that's unavoidable.

Besides, the fact that netizens could find these continuity mistakes actually proves the plot was so gripping that viewers didn't want to miss a single detail.

But in Su Meng's version of "Kuang Biao," you want to find BUGs in the props?

Heh, do you have some misunderstanding about the power of the system?

……

Thinking of the prop team, Su Meng suddenly remembered something, pulled out his phone, and made the call.

"Xiaofei, how are the props coming along?"

From the other end of the line came Wang Xiaofei's voice.

"Boss, don't worry, everything is moving forward according to the planned schedule."

"We've already made a batch of props—do you want to come take a look?"

"If anything's not right, we can change it anytime."

Su Meng thought for a moment—he had nothing going on right now—so he agreed.

"Sure, where are you now? I'll come find you guys."

"We're at the warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Boss. Just come on over."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

Su Meng hung up the phone and turned to say to Duan Jiangping.

"Boss, I'm heading to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city to check on the prop production."

"You should make the most of your time lately... what are you doing?"

Seeing Duan Jiangping pick up the remote again, Su Meng was instantly taken aback.

Duan Jiangping said with complete self-righteousness.

"What else? I'm watching it again!"

"You... sigh... do whatever you want." Su Meng was also helpless.

"Watch it all you want."

"Just don't let it get in the way of real business!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know!" Jiang Ping has already sunk into it.

……

"Drive steady, I'm going to catch a nap."

Su Meng patted the driver on the shoulder and said.

"Got it, Brother Su." The driver agreed readily.

Su Meng turned off his phone and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Working non-stop for this stretch had worn him out completely.

It took over an hour to get from the company to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city, so naturally he was seizing the moment to nap.

He just hoped Boss Yang and the others wouldn't come find him in his dreams to play.

After all, playing in dreams... is also pretty tiring...

……

"Still no answer."

Duan Jiangping's face was full of helplessness.

"I reckon he's asleep in the car right now."

"He's been busy nonstop lately—it's really worn the kid out."

Standing before him were Liu Ruiming and Shi Dazhi, dressed in plain clothes.

Liu Ruiming nodded.

"I understand, and it's our fault for being too abrupt—showing up at the Deng Sect without an appointment."

"We're not outsiders, no need for such formality." Duan Jiangping thought for a moment and said.

"He went to a prop warehouse on the outskirts of the city."

"How about I take you guys straight over?"

Liu Ruiming thought for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Is that convenient? I heard you guys need to keep things confidential when filming movies."

"Bah, what's there to keep confidential?" Duan Jiangping said, completely unconcerned.

"They're just some movie props—do we need to keep them secret from you?"

"By the way, Staff Officer Liu, what brings you here this time..."

Liu Ruiming smiled, looking a bit embarrassed too.

"The last 'Drawing Sword' played a huge role in promoting the army's image."

"So… hehehe… Director Duan, don't blame us for being too greedy."

"The chief's meaning is, he wants to ask if Su Meng has any thoughts on making a modern military film."

"If so, our troops will definitely give our full support!"

Huh? More business coming through the door?

Duan Jiangping's eyes lit up at once.

The military is actively seeking cooperation with Su Meng?

Being able to maintain a good relationship with the military—that would be fantastic!

As for whether a modern military film would make money… heh, anything Su Meng makes wouldn't make money?

Before he knew it, Duan Jiangping had already started becoming superstitious about Su Meng.

"Let's go, Staff Officer Liu, Captain Shi—I'll take you to the warehouse to find him!"

Duan Jiangping suddenly came alive, grabbing Liu Ruiming and Shi Dazhi as he headed out.

……

The moment the warehouse's great door was pulled open, Su Meng was utterly stunned.

What appeared before his eyes was a world brimming with a sci-fi feel.

Su Meng pointed at these things, his lips trembling a little.

"Xiao… Xiaofei, you guys made all these?"

Wang Xiaofei nodded, looking completely calm.

"Yeah, isn't that what we do?"

"We discussed it with Dayou, and based on their special effects, we made these models."

"Boss, what do you think of these? Can they be used?"

"Can they be used… damn right they can!"

Su Meng stared at the things filling an entire warehouse, his eyes going glassy.

"With props like these, I have absolute confidence to take The Wandering Earth to reach a higher level!"

Yes, the film Su Meng was preparing to shoot this time was The Wandering Earth!

He even had a plan to bring both films out together!

Way back when he told the two stories of "The Village Teacher" and "The Wandering Earth," he had already had this idea.

Especially since both novels had caused a huge sensation online, laying plenty of groundwork.

He had originally thought making these two films would take a very long time.

But the system had actually exploded out a special effects team and a props team!

One had to know that the key to this film's success or failure lay entirely in the special effects and props!
