The vlog was filmed from morning until around 5 p.m.
A large portion of the time wasn't actually spent filming a vlog, but rather discussing issues such as the mecha design for "Time Standoff".
Huang Junhao, who used to forget his lines even when facing the camera, became remarkably clear-headed when discussing mecha-related design issues with Xiao He. The directors and screenwriters hardly needed to give him any further guidance, as the cameraman had already secretly captured Huang Junhao's true performance.
Of course, in the subsequent editing, they will avoid some of the more important plot topics of "Time Confrontation" and focus more on the passionate discussions between Huang Junhao and Xiao He.
To be honest, in this atmosphere, Xiao He and Huang Junhao really looked like old friends who had known each other for many years.
If this is broadcast, no one else will suspect that they are putting on an act.
That evening, Xiao He invited Huang Junhao to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and then took him to his hotel before getting into his car and having Lao Qi drive them home.

In the car, Liu Rulan leaned back in her seat, looking a little tired, while Xiao He lowered his head and nimbly flipped through the photos on his phone. Finally, he organized them and sent them to He Jinnian.
Liu Rulan, who was standing to the side, still had her eyes closed, but seemed to sense Xiao He's intentions. She lazily asked, "You want to temporarily change the mecha design and use Xiao Huang's work?"
With filming about to begin, the props for "Time and Space Standoff" are already in production. If Xiao He wants to change the mecha design at this point, the props that have already been made will have to be scrapped and started over.
This was undoubtedly a waste of time for their film crew.
“I’ve seen his design, and it’s much better than the designs our current production team uses.”
Xiao Heguan turned off his phone screen, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes to rest: "Since there is a better design, why can't we use it? Little Huang is still Huang's son, and Huang is one of the biggest investors in 'Time-Space Standoff,' so he won't have any objections."
"Moreover, Mr. Huang's factory has been producing his design works for him over the years, including models of various sizes. In other words, based on the factory's basic conditions, all the mecha prop models for our crew can be taken over by their factory."
Huang Junhao has the existing technology and techniques!
These things are interconnected, and judging from the quality of the models on Xiao Huang's phone, Xiao He believed that their factory's technology far surpassed the team the production crew had currently hired.
"But the money has already been spent." Liu Rulan opened her eyes. "You want Mr. Huang to work for free?"
"Hey, that brings us to another topic." Xiao He chuckled. "We just heard about CEO Huang's first failed attempt to make a fortune. Do you think that, given the popularity of 'Time Confrontation,' it could spark a craze for mecha figurines?"
"So you were planning this all along."
Liu Rulan raised her hand, her fingers tapping absently on the edge of the car window, as if she were pondering something.
She then expressed slight regret, saying, "Unfortunately, 'Time Confrontation' is not a work that truly uses mecha as its selling point."
Mech battles are the selling point, but the mechs themselves are not the main theme. Only a few mechs appear in the entire movie, and the main focus is on the mech used by the protagonist.
If it's a mecha, there are very few design points that can be sold. In the end, they can only use one design, which probably cannot cover the preferences of all viewers.
“That’s already pretty good.” Xiao He spread his hands. “Being able to promote a collectible figure that audiences will love through a movie is a great deal no matter how you look at it.”
Movie merchandise is essentially a business based on hype; it's a one-time way to make money. If you can make money, you've made money; if you can't, it just means you didn't try hard enough. You can't be greedy.
Liu Rulan was embarrassed: "Aren't you afraid of Xiao Huang's bad luck?"
"To put it in a more mystical way, 'Public Enemy Number One' might even carry a bit of Mr. Huang's bad luck."
After all, their previous projects had always gone smoothly, but this time, with the involvement of Xiao Huang, who has a special constitution that causes everything he does to fail, their projects are now teetering on the brink of collapse. Looking at it this way, doesn't it seem a bit mystical?
"Uh, you can't calculate it like that..."
The words Xiao He wanted to say stuck in his throat.
Thinking that he also had a bit of Conan-like luck, and that luck was really hard to predict, Xiao He's restless heart calmed down a little, but he still said, "Let's go back and discuss it first. I think if nothing unexpected happens, this matter is actually quite profitable."
If something unexpected happens... then we can only deal with it as it comes.
Xiao He still didn't believe that he, a cheat code, couldn't suppress an unlucky guy.
Liu Rulan didn't say anything more, but said with a sigh, "I've noticed that you're becoming more and more like a boss."
With plans for public service announcements and merchandise sales, investor Xiao He has already begun to ramp up his efforts for "Time-Traveling Confrontation" even before filming has started.
Previously, Xiao He only focused on studying scripts and acting skills, but now he is gradually shifting his focus to other areas.
Liu Rulan didn't know whether this was good or bad for Xiao He's future acting career, but she was certain that it was a good thing for Linghui Entertainment.
After all, a boss with real strength and a focus on making money means that all employees can continue to make money and earn more money with the boss.
Xiao He shrugged: "People always have to grow up."
Liu Rulan remained noncommittal, lazily reminding me with her arms crossed, "We're flying to Beijing in a few days, so take care of your own affairs—by the way, didn't you mention before that you were going to sign up for some kind of class?"
"Yes, I'm already learning."
Xiao He nodded, "It's just something I'm learning for fun, you don't need to worry about it."
"good."
The car finally quieted down.

The next day, Xiao Huang posted a vlog video of his day trip to Linghui Entertainment on his account.
Almost immediately after its release, it topped the trending charts on major video platforms.
The name Xiao He is familiar to everyone these days, and people # Nоvеlight # are also quite curious about Linghui Entertainment, the company behind Xiao He.
These days, there are quite a few artists who are both actors and bosses, but not many people can successfully walk both paths.
Aside from the added benefits of Xiao He's acting career, Linghui Entertainment's investments in several TV series and variety shows have all achieved remarkable results. Just like Xiao He, its existence is steady and pragmatic, accumulating strength before unleashing its potential. Every investment has been effective, and none of them have been unprofitable.
So when the video was released, Xiao He's name was simply associated with Linghui Entertainment for the first time. It was as if at that moment, everyone took Xiao He's identity seriously and treated him as the boss of Linghui Entertainment.
