Chapter 475

Aren't we supposed to be making a movie?

Who knew your ambitions were actually this big?

A flicker of surprise also passed through Liu Ruiming's eyes as he slowly uttered a few words.

"Cultural counter-invasion!"

Su Meng waved his hand and chuckled.

"It's not that serious."

"With my little arms and skinny legs, I can't carry such a big banner."

"Besides, I'm just an entertainer, and I don't want to get too tangled up with the military."

"But the European and American film market is so huge. Since I'm already making a movie, I want to grab a share of it and earn a bit more money."

"That should be reasonable, right?"

Liu Ruiming looked at him deeply, then slowly nodded.

"Reasonable! Very reasonable!"

"So..." Su Meng pointed at that gun and chuckled.

"In order to make a movie with enough immersion, I manufactured some movie props. That should be reasonable too, right?"

"And these props will only be used for film and television shooting!"

"There's no need to make such a big deal out of it, right?"

Liu Ruiming stared at him, an indescribable glint in his eyes, and said slowly.

"Are you sure these props will only be used for film and television shooting~~?"

"Yes!" Su Meng nodded and said firmly.

"I'm absolutely certain 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 growing tenser, Duan Jiangping hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Staff Officer Liu, didn't you come to find Su Meng to discuss making a movie?"

"Su Meng, the military side wants to invite you to shoot a modern military-themed..."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Liu Ruiming cut him off and said lightly.

"Here's the thing. I came to find you this time because I want to discuss cooperation with you."

"The August First Film Studio wants to make a sci-fi movie..."

"Huh?" Duan Jiangping was instantly dumbfounded.

"Staff Officer Liu, didn't you say modern military-themed?"

"How did it turn into a sci-fi movie..."

"You heard wrong!" Liu Ruiming cut him off directly, then turned to Su Meng and said.

"So on behalf of the August First Film Studio, I want to purchase a batch of film and television props from your prop company."

"For example..."

He walked a few steps and stopped in front of a sealed suit.

He patted a set of equipment on the outside of the sealed suit and smiled slightly.

"For example... a powered exoskeleton!"

Su Meng looked at him deeply and slowly uttered two words.

"Deal!"

"Huh? Su Meng, why do I feel like something's a bit off?"

Duan Jiangping glanced at Shi Dazhi, who was patrolling around, and whispered.

Liu Ruiming had already left, but he had left Shi Dazhi behind.

Under the fancy title of "Prop Production Supervisor," god knows how he came up with such a lousy name.

"What's off about it?"

Su Meng carefully examined the powered exoskeleton and said casually.

Duan Jiangping scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

"Our movie has already been filed, and..."

He pointed at those guns and continued.

"These guns, we've also filed them with the relevant departments, and we've gotten firearms use permits..."

"Boss!" Su Meng cut him off directly.

"I'm running such a big prop company. Isn't it perfectly reasonable to want to make some money?"

"A film studio wants to buy props, so I sell some film and television props to supplement the household income. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?"

"Are you trying to make me lose money?"

"What evil intentions are you harboring?"

"Do you want me to find Qin Jie and have her give you a lesson?"

"Don't!" The moment he heard the two words "Qin Jie," Duan Jiangping's face instantly turned green.

"Don't bother Qin Jie. She's been incredibly busy lately."

"All sorts of stars and entertainers, all the major investors and capital, are lining up waiting for her favor."

"And it has to be our Su Meng—they're all here for you..."

……

"Ring ring ring~~~" Su Meng's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the call, his mood also not bad.

"Sister Xia, I was just thinking of looking for you — who would've thought we're so in sync?"

That's right, the one calling was precisely Bilibili's CEO, Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing's tone carried a hint of grievance.

"Leader, the way you're playing this hands-off boss, isn't that a little too carefree?"

"Our web variety show has already filmed a few episodes, and we're planning to officially launch it next week."

"As the chief planner, shouldn't you show a little concern?"

Huh? Su Meng froze for a beat, then suddenly realized.

Damn, he'd been so busy spinning like a top lately that he'd completely forgotten about the web variety show co-produced with Bilibili.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.

"Sister Xia, don't rush to launch it — let me run an ad first."

"Oh my, that's wonderful!" Xia Qingqing immediately beamed with joy.

"With your popularity boost, our show is bound to be a massive hit!"

"How are you planning to advertise it?"

Su Meng chuckled and said.

"You don't need to worry about that — in a few days I'll bring a few people to show up."

"Oh right, Sister Xia, does our site have manga adaptation services?"

Xia Qingqing immediately took offense.

"Who do you think you're looking down on?"

"Our Bilibili is the largest ACG content site in the country."

"You tell me — do we have manga adaptation services or not?"

"Do you have some new work?"

Su Meng chuckled and said.

"There's a dead-beat loser called Xianyun Shisi Lang who's about to publish a new book called 'The Buddha Is the Dao'."

"I figured if the manga adaptation keeps up right away, it'd be even better."

"Xianyun Shisi Lang?" Xia Qingqing thought for a moment, asking in confusion.

"I think I have a vague impression — isn't he just some dead-beat loser who writes on Feilu?"

"Looking the way he does, what good book could he possibly write?"
