Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen heard Su Han wanted to watch their filming tomorrow and prepare overnight.
The two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, immediately contacted the actors who had already been selected.
"Hello, Dongzai. Come to the set tonight. We're starting tomorrow."
"What? Starting tomorrow? Isn't the script not even finished yet?"
"Don't say so much. If I tell you to come tomorrow, then come tomorrow. Minister Su Han wants to watch us film tomorrow."
"..."
One by one, the actors were summoned overnight. At the same time, the scenes they were to film were also rented overnight.
After some preparation, filming finally began at noon the next day, before Su Han arrived.
"Artificial Intelligence Rebellion xxx Step One, Scene One..."
After the usual preparations for filming a movie, they began shooting.
However, the actors still had noticeable dark circles under their eyes while filming.
Su Han arrived at the set around noon. Upon arrival, Su Han easily noticed the dark circles under the actors' eyes.
The two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, rushed over to greet Su Han as soon as he arrived.
"Minister Su Han, welcome to inspect our work."
"Hello, Minister Su Han. We're in the middle of filming, so we don't have much to entertain you with!"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen quickly brought chairs for Su Han and offered him tea.
Su Han accepted without politeness and sat down.
Su Han said, "Yes, you've started filming. That's good. Continue filming. Don't mind me."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen quickly agreed.
Ju Xiuneng shouted to the actors who were eager to greet Su Han, "Everyone, continue filming! Continue filming!"
After shouting, Ju Xiuneng said to Yang Wen, "Assistant Director, you take charge. I'll entertain Minister Su Han here first."
Yang Wen also wanted to stay and impress Su Han, but Ju Xiuneng was the main director, so as the assistant director, he could only reluctantly go and direct.
Ju Xiuneng stayed behind to continue entertaining Su Han.
In the subsequent filming, the actors became even more focused. Every actor wanted Su Han to see their acting skills.
Su Han did not rush Ju Xiuneng back to filming because he had something to discuss with him.
Su Han asked, "How is the script coming along?"
Upon hearing this, Ju Xiuneng quickly replied, "Our dozen screenwriters also made some revisions last night. I'll go get it now."
Ju Xiuneng hurried off to retrieve a script.
"Minister Su Han, look, this is the revision for the twenty-thousand-word to eighty-thousand-word section. The rest hasn't been revised yet," Ju Xiuneng said.
Su Han picked up the script and flipped through it, finishing it all very quickly.
Su Han said, "Well, the section from twenty-thousand to eighty-thousand words still needs some revision. This part also needs to be revised. Please hurry up and finish the rest. I'll be back tomorrow. You two directors can split up and shoot on two sets. Scenes where actors and locations don't conflict can be filmed simultaneously on both."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ju Xiuneng quickly agreed.
Then, Su Han looked at Ju Xiuneng and said, "In that case, why aren't you hurrying to prepare for simultaneous shooting?"
Ju Xiuneng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Ju Xiuneng rushed back to start filming the second scene.
With both directors starting at the same time, several scenes were being filmed concurrently. The filming speed effectively doubled.
Su Han sat there watching the simultaneous filming. This time, both directors Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen had hired actors who were skilled performers, so the filming proceeded smoothly. However, due to the short timeframe given by Su Han, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen also hired a special effects company to handle the effects. They planned to film and do the special effects concurrently.
After two hours of filming, the special effects team arrived on set with their equipment.
Su Han had been sitting there watching for these two hours.
Ju Xiuneng ran over to Su Han again and said, "Minister Su Han, the special effects company has arrived. I'll go greet them."
Su Han said, "Special effects company? Alright, you go."
The special effects company set up their equipment and immediately began creating the visual effects. They used some of the already filmed footage to start producing the effects.
Ju Xiuneng watched for a while and said, "Take a look at the script. We need a large number of robots here. You need to create a large number of robots."
The special effects company said, "Okay, that can be done. We can have it ready in about three days."
Su Han listened from the side and felt that this was still too slow.
Su Han walked over.
Seeing Su Han, the special effects crew quickly stood up to greet him.
"Greetings, Minister Su Han."
Su Han said, "Yes, I just heard that a simple effect like adding robots will take you three days?"
The special effects personnel proudly replied, "That's right. It only takes us three days to create these effects with robots. With the rapid progress in technology in our Dragon Country, our speed in special effects has become excellent."
Su Han said, "Let me see the script, which part needs these special effects?"
Ju Xiuneng handed the script to Su Han.
Su Han looked at it and said, "This special effect is to show a scene of humans fighting dozens of robots. Does such a scene really require three days? You call this fast? Your special effects company is too weak! Now that Dragon Country has acquired so much technology, haven't you purchased licenses for that technology?"
Hearing this, the special effects personnel dared not lie and said, "Minister Su Han, we haven't learned those technologies yet."
Su Han said, "It's been so long since the Alien Migration! Your special effects company still hasn't learned it? Have you not been studying diligently?"
The special effects personnel fell silent upon hearing this.
Su Han continued to ask, "Show me the special effects you've made. I want to see what your special effects are like."
The special effects personnel had no choice but to play the special effects they had created before.
Su Han watched and said, "Is this the extent of your special effects? It's space exploration now, and you're still using these kinds of effects? Is this all you've got?"
Su Han's anger grew, and he directly threw a script at the face of the special effects person.
The special effects personnel then said, "Minister Su Han, this is mainly because the film's investment in special effects is too low. We can only work according to the price."
Su Han said, "Then you can't accept any shoddy work! Alright, your special effects are too slow. From now on, the film will use live-action filming with only a small amount of special effects."
Ju Xiuneng asked, "Minister Su Han, what about the live-action filming?"
