Chapter 483: Run Jie's Request

Guan Fei listened to Luo Mo's words and let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, Script Kill?"

"Back when I was most in debt, I even thought about writing one!" said 'Working-Man Fei'.

But he couldn't wrap his head around it, saying: "Can this even be made into a movie?"

"It's not exactly what you're imagining, I can only say it's somewhat similar," Luo Mo said.

The workload for 【Mist Theater】 is very heavy, and Luo Mo was still grateful that Guan Fei could come to help.

Since everyone's relationship is so good, if it were only about money... that would certainly be the best.

But people, besides seeking profit, also seek fame.

As for Guan Fei now, he is known in the film industry as Box Office Poison.

Film directors have always felt they are a cut above television series directors; seeing a big-name director among TV series directors like Guan Fei flop at making movies, there is certainly no shortage of mockery.

And what could better prove one is not Box Office Poison than trading a small budget for a massive box office return?

As for the movie Luo Mo prepared for him, it is called *Be Famous*.

This kind of film with a single setting but a plot involving multiple layers of Reversal actually requires a very keen sense of rhythm.

If the rhythm of the storytelling is right, then it is already half a success.

Luo Mo has always felt that it's not that Guan Fei lacks talent; it's just that when he makes movies, his sense of rhythm is off. He doesn't know if it's like that during filming or if it's caused by post-production editing.

The *Cat Demon* from back then gave people this exact feeling.

"When the time comes, let me be the 【Producer】 for you once," Luo Mo said to Guan Fei.

"Alright, then send me the script first so I can take a look," Guan Fei started to feel an itch.

"That won't do, focus on filming the series first, Working-Man Fei," Luo Mo was very heartless.

………

………

Five days passed in a flash, and the entire cast and crew of *Reset* wrapped up filming.

The efficiency was even higher than expected, and Luo Mo had to start post-production work.

Besides that, some publicity and distribution work also needed to follow up.

During these five days, although the box office for all movies continued to decline, *Monkey King: Hero is Back* still managed to rake in another 100 million in box office.

Judging from the current situation, the final total box office might not necessarily reach 1.4 billion, but 1.35 billion shouldn't be difficult, after all, the 【Key】 was extended for a month.

"In this way, it's already a huge chunk higher than on Earth," Luo Mo said in his heart.

Honestly, it slightly exceeded his expectations.

But there are many factors involved in this; it can be considered unexpected, yet within reason.

Compared to Earth, he has too many advantages on Blue Star.

After returning to his home in Xicheng, Xu Chujing was sitting in the living room watching a video while learning flower arrangement.

Life is sometimes like this; when living alone, one is too lazy to fuss over certain things. But if it becomes two people, there will be a lot of interests that didn't exist before.

However, after Luo Mo glanced at it, he could tell that the Heavenly Queen really didn't have much talent in this area.

"That's not how you arrange them," Luo Mo looked at the instructional video.

"Then how do you arrange them?" Xu Chujing felt slightly displeased and turned her head to glare at him.

As their eyes met and Luo Mo was about to go full speed ahead, Xu Chujing kicked him with her bare foot and said: "Go cook."

Luo Mo started to complain bitterly, saying: "I've been rushing about all the way, enduring the hardships of travel, and now I have to come back to cook..."

"Then I'll do it," Xu Chujing said, eager to try.

"Forget it, I'll do it," Luo Mo immediately became proactive.

He didn't want to test the poison with his own body again, and besides, knowing it was poison, he would still have to eat it all with a smile and praise it with sophisticated vocabulary as if he were a gourmet.

How tiring that is.

He felt like a Cat kept at home that suddenly brings you a sparrow, looking at you with expectation, wanting you to eat it.

After the meal, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing were sitting on the sofa watching a movie when his phone rang.

Luo Mo looked at the contact, and Xu Chujing took a peek.

"Director Ning Dan," she said.

"Probably something came up," Luo Mo added with a chuckle: "Speaking of which, strictly speaking, Director Ning Dan is still half a matchmaker for the two of us."

*About the time I drew double the salary on a show and incidentally hooked the female mentor*.

Xu Chujing chuckled softly and didn't continue saying anything, only saying: "Pick it up quickly."

"Alrighty," Luo Mo said.

He answered the phone, and the voice of Run Jie, which could be considered slightly low among female voices, reached his ears.

This kind of voice is a bit raspy; on Earth, there was a representative figure with this kind of voice who was the enlightenment teacher for many men.

"Luo Mo, what are you busy with lately?" Run Jie asked.

"*Reset* just wrapped up, I'm working on post-production," Luo Mo said.

"My new show here has run into some trouble; can you come and help me save the situation? Just consider it as doing publicity for your new series and *Monkey King: Hero is Back*," Ning Dan said.

"You mean the variety show *Director Show*?" Luo Mo reacted immediately.

*Director Show* is a new variety show Ning Dan put together.

She invited four film directors and a group of celebrities.

The nature of this variety show is actually quite similar to many such variety shows on Earth.

It's nothing more than directors choosing a few celebrities to join their camp, then directing some short films to be broadcast on the show.

It's just that this variety show can be considered an original on Blue Star; it counts as a very creative variety show.

By now, the program has aired one episode; the controversy is significant, but the popularity is very high.

The first and second episodes of Director Show are actually equivalent to the auditions in many variety shows, letting these celebrities perform on stage and then seeing if any directors take a liking to them.

The entire audition process has actually already been recorded; what is to be recorded next is the serious Director Show.

It is equivalent to the directors starting to direct short films and coaching the celebrities they have chosen.

Then, an unexpected situation occurred.

Among the four directors, two are veteran directors with long-standing qualifications, both having famous representative works.

There is also one who is a successful Actor who crossed over to directing; he has only made three films, one of which was a box office smash totaling 1.6 billion, while another flopped, losing everything and having terrible word-of-mouth.

The remaining one is the most controversial figure.

The currently red-hot up-and-coming director—Tian Ou!

Yes, it is that Tian Ou, whose debut work Car King once ranked first in box office for a Newcomer director.

This person is highly controversial because both Car King and his later film, the 600 million box office hit Storm Rescue, have very obvious Fusion Plot issues.

At the same time, this person's reputation is also poor, and he lacks emotional intelligence when speaking.

But it is precisely such a person who speaks recklessly who can, on the contrary, maximize the program's effect.

And the one who had the problem is him.

He will be absent from recording for a period of time; Ning Dan did not disclose the specific reason, presumably because it is very inconvenient to say.

This caused Luo Mo to fall into a brief silence.

Honestly, this job is easy to get covered in trouble.

"How about this, you send me the list of his camp first so I can take a look." Luo Mo did not directly refuse.

"Fine, I'll send it to you right now."

"Alright, I'll give you an answer in a moment," said Luo Mo.

Now that the auditions are over, he doesn't even have the power to choose people; filling in temporarily means being forced to accept the people chosen by this Tian Ou.

If it weren't for his friendship with Run Jie, Luo Mo definitely wouldn't wade into these muddy waters.

Ning Dan is very efficient and also trusts Luo Mo very much; the second episode hasn't even aired yet, and the results of the auditions for each director's camp cannot be made public.

Luo Mo picked up his phone and glanced at the list; after seeing a few names, he sent a WeChat message to Ning Dan.

"Sister Dan, I'll take this job."
