Two days later.
Xiao He and his group successfully saw off the assistant sent by General Manager Huang and secured a large investment.
Seeing the string of zeros following the number, He Jinnian's somewhat haggard face finally showed a hint of joy.
"Great! With this investment, our production team will be able to officially start filming soon!"
Xiao He was actually quite impatient, but he also knew that science fiction films required a lot of preparation, so he didn't dare to rush things. Now that he heard He Jinnian say this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can look forward to it."
He Wenming, who arrived later, was preparing to go to the filming set with He Jinnian to "supervise" the work.
He Jinnian, who was originally planning to continue working through the night, froze with a smile when he saw He Wenming: "Uh, forget it, you're not my manager anymore. Just continue managing Teacher Shu, he probably still has work to do..."
“I will be responsible for following you during this period. Shu Han’s work will be temporarily taken over by Manager Liu.”
He Wenming gave him a sinister smile, as if he had already seen through his next plan.
However, He Jinnian is no longer young.
If he continues to work himself to the bone, everyone is genuinely afraid that the director will collapse before filming even begins.
Liu Rulan smiled and nodded to He Jinnian: "Yes, I will manage Shu Han's work for the time being. Director He, please rest assured. Recently, the schedules of Ling Hui and the other actors are relatively free, so we can handle the work here simply."
It's no exaggeration to say that the schedules of several actors are now clear, all waiting for "Time and Space Standoff".
This includes Pan Yuerou, who just graduated this year.
Pan Yuerou was the female lead in Linghui Entertainment's investment project "Yiming". When she was signed as a contract after the show became a hit, she was still a college student. Considering her studies, Linghui Entertainment did not arrange many more jobs for Pan Yuerou at that time, and waited for her to graduate.
In June of this year, Pan Yuerou finally graduated from Peking Opera and came to Shanghai to develop her career.
As the only female artist in Linghui Entertainment, Pan Yuerou was also assigned to the crew of "Time Confrontation".
There's no other way. First, it's about saving resources, and second, it's about using experienced actors to mentor newcomers. "Time Confrontation" is a pretty good project, and with Xiao He and Shu Han in the cast, Pan Yue Rou, as a newcomer with a pretty good debut, naturally has to get a piece of the pie too.
So she's currently training at the martial arts school with everyone, while also waiting for the start of filming for "Time and Space Standoff".
Of course, no one dares to urge He Jinnian now, because He Jinnian is clearly more anxious than they are.
"Okay, you can help me too."
He Jinnian looked at his old partner but ultimately said nothing.
Finally, He Jinnian and He Wenming left Linghui together, preparing to return to the film set.
Xiao He and his companions naturally found themselves with some free time again.
This time period is rather awkward. It's not suitable for joining other film crews, and there aren't any suitable short-term gigs. If I were to just join any variety show as a guest, there aren't any particularly good variety shows being filmed recently.
Moreover, the Baiming Awards next month and the premiere of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" should also be coming soon.
Xiao He could not stay away from Shanghai for too long.
After thinking it over, Xiao He decided to stay home and stay put.
As it happened, since he heard that Xiao He's crew was going to be filming a science fiction movie that involved mecha battles and cyber machines, General Manager Huang asked his assistant to bring Xiao He a Gundam model when he came over.
Actually, Mr. Huang didn't know much about these things, but his son liked them, and he figured young people couldn't resist them, so Mr. Huang simply sent over an extra Gundam model he had ordered for his son's birthday as a gift.
—I must say, the gift Mr. Huang gave us was really to our liking.
Xiao He couldn't take his eyes off these things.
So in the days that followed, Xiao He began to assemble Gundam models day and night.
Until one peaceful afternoon, Xiao He's points once again surpassed one million.
...
Looking at the million points on the system panel, and then at the nearly three-meter-tall Gundam model he had painstakingly built, Xiao He stroked his chin in deep thought.
To be honest, he hasn't decided what he wants to draw this time.
The points were earned so quickly this time that it almost felt unreal.
It feels like 【Recovery+】 is already the highest level of ability, and it helps him a lot in daily life. If it were other abilities, he might not be able to use them, and it would just be a waste of points.
If you can save them up, it's actually quite nice...
Looking at the current rate at which his points were increasing, Xiao He thought for a moment and decided to draw a prize.
His points are increasing steadily, and reaching the next million shouldn't be too difficult.
If we can extract something useful, then it's good to get it sooner and enjoy it sooner.
After offering a sincere prayer, Xiao He summoned Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was helping Xiao He sort through the messy Gundam parts when she heard Xiao He's voice and ran over.
Finally, guided by Xiao He, Xiao Chen pointed in a direction with a puzzled look: "Brother Xiao, are you saying there's a missing part here? I don't think there is."
"Yes, this is it. You've pointed it out. Let me take a closer look."
"oh oh."
Xiao Chen pointed to the head of the Gundam model, waiting for Xiao He's reply.
In that brief moment, Xiao He swiftly pressed the button.
Immediately afterwards, a virtual digital galaxy unfolded before him, and a dazzling golden light streaked past him.
Xiao He subconsciously reached out to catch it, but unexpectedly, just as the golden light was about to approach him, another seven-colored mysterious light suddenly appeared, and together with the golden light, it landed steadily in Xiao He's palm and disappeared completely.
As expected of the upgraded system panel, even the lottery now ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) has a cutscene!
Impressive, impressive.
—If he wasn't mistaken, did something strange just jump into his lottery prize pool?
Xiao He narrowed his eyes, a look of suspicion on his face, and cautiously clicked on the panel again, and sure enough, he saw two reward interfaces.
【Congratulations on obtaining "Bone Enhancement," automatically redeemed】
【Bone Enhancement Details: Personal Bone Enhancement.】
【Congratulations on obtaining a hidden reward opportunity*1. Would you like to redeem it with points?】
Xiao He: As expected, it's still a physical enhancement skill.
But what exactly is bone strengthening?
And this hidden lottery mechanism that suddenly appeared, was it added on the spot just now?
This thing seems like it's trying to entice people to spend money.
You've learned the entire game recharge mechanism from the human world!
Just as Xiao He was about to unleash a torrent of curses, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed something, pointed to the Gundam model in front of him, and excitedly raised his voice: "Wow, Brother Xiao, you have such sharp eyes! There really is a part missing here—"
The next moment, perhaps due to the vibration of Xiao Chen's increased volume, the Gundam, missing a key part, finally lost its balance as Xiao Chen finished speaking.
The giant Gundam, over three meters tall, collapsed in front of them with a thud.
Xiao He:!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
My Gundam!!!
