Everything seems to be going smoothly, and if it continues to develop like this, it is estimated that in less than two years, Xue Yiren's sub-tasks in variety shows and movies will be completed.

When the time comes, with the strong popularity accumulated by these two areas, and then pick a good book for the TV series, you should be able to complete all the ultimate tasks of your cousin.

The only thing to worry about is the mess up with the dungeon system, which clearly wants to wipe out all the ultimate tasks in the world that have a huge span of challenges. Then Xue Yiren will never be let go.

Now, he's hiding, most likely doing quests to earn quest rewards in exchange for more cross-quest ability mapping components. Or something more powerful to deal with you.

However, this seemingly smooth start has just begun, and it came to an abrupt end.

Originally, it was time for "South China Sea Sharks" to enter the group, and some changes took place at this time.

Before, Gao De led a group of people to infiltrate the country with the ultimate copy, and was beaten away by Tang Li and them. The identities of these people have recently been confirmed.

Among those who were shot down by Tang Li and them, several were caught by the security department. After interrogation, it was confirmed that they were soldiers stationed in Pamir.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the government and the people.

Although the United States quoted the copy agreement, claiming that this was just a game, and the relevant personnel entered the country as the player's private identity, without carrying real weapons, nor did they have any intention of violating the sovereignty of China, but because of this, it caused public sentiment and affected all aspects.

"South China Sea Shark" is a co-production with the United States, and it has naturally been spontaneously boycotted by the public.

Xu's Pictures is not an iron-headed baby, and when he saw that the wind was not in the right direction, he immediately shelved the project indefinitely.

As soon as the announcement came out, Xue Yiren's sunspots immediately became high. All kinds of schadenfreude remarks immediately flooded the Internet, mocking her dream of borrowing the old Hollywood gilding was shattered.

This melon is yellow, Xu Pictures does not have any suitable roles for Xue Yiren for the time being, and the grades of the films that several other crews came to contact are also a little insufficient, which does not match her current high starting point, so this aspect has stopped.

Xu Xinger can only help her pick up a few variety shows first to maintain exposure.

After staying at home for a few days, Tang Li suddenly received a call from Xu Youling and wanted to invite him to dinner.

This Xu Gongzi's banquet always made Tang Li feel unsteady, and he didn't want to stay away from his cousin, so he directly declined.

But Xu Youling did not give up: "Da Li, what are you nervous about? Are you afraid that I will eat you? And I didn't want to invite you myself this time, someone asked me to invite you." ”

"Who's please?" Tang Li was a little curious.

"You'll know when you're here, good thing. ”

"It's okay if you don't come? ”

"No, no, it's really good, it's about movies, and there's a director who wants to meet you. By the way, I would like to meet your cousin. ”

Tang Li went because he had heard of this director.

This person's name is Gao Hang, a young director, who has had two films before, small productions, but his reputation is not bad. He wants to see himself, is there a role to find him, and he also wants to meet his cousin, indicating that there may be opportunities for female characters. This is where Tang Li is interested.

Another reason for Tang Li to go with confidence was that the place to eat was not the restaurant outside, but Xu Youling's house. Xu Youling has never been married, so he still lives in his father's mansion, and Xu Xing'er, who has not been out of the cabinet, is also there. In this way, if there is really any cooperation in film, it will bring together all the relevant personnel.

Xu Mansion is located in the Tang Palace on the west side of Hongfei Road, and there are only twelve villas in the entire villa area, which is the first mansion in the magic capital, and it is ranked first in China.

The villa is built on the surface of a lake, shaped like a palace, and the exterior wall of the local tyrant is almost like the four words of wealth and compelling people are engraved on it. Although Tang Li has become rich almost overnight in the past few months, he is not inferior to the first-class rich people in China in terms of cash flow alone, but psychologically, there is still no change, and the dead house is still a dead house. Looking at the building in front of him that exudes the atmosphere of a local tyrant from the inside out, he can only shake his head secretly like the last time he came:

"It's really rich. ”

Entering the gate, through the small bridge over the lake, is the wide courtyard in front of the golden palace. Xu Youling had been waiting there for a long time, and beside him was a handsome young man. Tang Li had already searched for pictures on the Internet, and this was Gao Hang.

"Ouch, Da Li, it's finally here, our Gao Dao is in a hurry, and we've been mentioning you. ”

Xu Youling said as he strode forward, looking like he was about to give Tang Li a bear hug, but at the last moment, he still gave up such an intimate expression, turned sideways, stood on his left, and grabbed his shoulder with one hand.

"Come on, Da Li, by the way, and Cousin Yiren, let me introduce you to you. This is Gao Hang, a talented new director who is currently filming a sci-fi blockbuster. ”

"Mr. Tang, Miss Xue, I'm Gao Hang. The other man held out his hand.

"Sci-fi blockbuster?" Tang Li held his hand, and couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, the development of domestic commercial films is very uneven. The action and comedy categories are relatively good, and there have been many works with good word-of-mouth and box office. Recently, the military action theme has also exploded, and several phenomenal blockbusters have appeared. But only the science fiction theme has always been a shortcoming. Many people joke that the Chinese people always look up at the starry sky when making movies, and the Chinese people always stare at the one-third of the acre of land in the emperor's harem.

Not only did the industry dare not do this, but even the audience has formed a preconception, thinking that Chinese people are too fake to shoot science fiction, either cheap five-cent special effects, or the pattern is too small, and the plot is kindergarten. Some people even think that people who don't have white skin save the world, but they just can't get used to it.

Therefore, it is somewhat unbelievable that a rookie director dares to make a sci-fi blockbuster. Aren't you really afraid of losing?

Thinking of him coming to invite himself to dinner at this time, is it just for this film?

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they entered the house together.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Xu Xing'er who was going downstairs.

"Xiao Tang, Yiren, are you all here?"

The two greeted Xu Xing'er, but they didn't see Boss Xu. When I asked, I found out that Boss Xu had a meeting in the imperial capital recently and was not at home.

"Don't stand, just start eating, let's talk while we eat. As she spoke, she turned her face to a forty-year-old elder sister on the side and said, "Sister Huang, let's serve the food." ”

So everyone sat down separately and began to eat.

The family banquet of this big family is not as good as Tang Li imagined, in addition to being finely made and the ingredients are fine, they are basically home-cooked dishes that can be seen every day. When you eat it, you don't have much sense of ceremony.

After one round, business begins.

"Da Li, Gao Hang and I are old friends, and this project started two years ago. It turned out that I also helped him pull the strings and pull my dad to invest. At that time, Xu's Pictures invested 200 million, but the project became bigger and bigger, and I found that 200 million couldn't be beaten, so my father pulled Huaying to invest 50 million. ”

"Two and a half million? That's not a small investment. Tang Li frowned. When domestic science fiction is still a desert, it is already commendable courage to dare to invest so much money into it.

"What kind of content are you filming?" Xue Yiren also asked curiously, she knew very well that with such a budget, it was not a small fight, it had to be a big scene.

Gao Hang smiled a little shyly at this time and said, "It's about the copy." ”

"Copy?" Tang Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the other party's mission system, Blue Diamond System? Even if it's not completely overhead, you'll have to change the settings drastically.

"Yes, it's based on Dayu's award-winning novel "Angel Space". There is no direct copy written in the novel, and it is changed to a virtual game space. But when a discerning person looks at it, he knows that he is alluding to the world of dungeons. ”

"I see. Tang Li nodded, he hadn't read this novel, but he had heard the name, and it was still a little famous. It is said that there are many fans in the small circle. At least, he had seen the original of this novel in the small village of the Truth Society.

"How far has this film been filmed now, and why did it suddenly come to us?"

"Why?" Xu Youling grinned: "Of course I can't shoot anymore." ”

"Can't shoot anymore?, why?" Tang Li asked.

"There is a lack of money, and there is also a shortage of people. Gao Hang was almost blunt: "The difficulty of this film was underestimated by us, and many aspects could not be done with the original budget, especially the special effects." Therefore, we had to pull down our faces and go to Mr. Xu to ask for money. ”

Tang Li immediately turned his face and asked Xu Youling, "Your father didn't agree?"

Xu Youling shrugged: "My dad is willing to chase a little more." However, the other directors disagreed, saying that the risk was too great. There has never been a success in science fiction before, and whether the previous two hundred million can be recovered or not, I don't dare to hope for it, and I am afraid that I will lose all my money if I invest again. ”

Gao Hang continued: "So, we have no choice but to change the script, cut off one of the main lines in the play, and prepare to make a castrated version, let's talk about it." ”

At this time, Xu Xing'er suddenly said: "Which of you are cutting off a main line? The angels are gone, what is it called angel space?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Li became more and more curious: "What is the role of an angel, why did you cut her?"

Gao Hang smiled bitterly and said: "The theme of this story is an NPC in the game space, a virtual character called the Soul Angel, because he suddenly has a soul and falls in love with his creator, that is, the owner of the game space. When the master entered the game space and was infected by the virus generated in the space, he was unable to return to the real world, resolutely destroying the entire game space and letting the master return to the real world at the cost of his own demise. ”

Hearing this plot, Tang Li and Xue Yiren couldn't help frowning and glanced at each other.

Xue Yiren couldn't help but ask, "How could you cut down such an important person?"
