Chereads / Demon Director is out to film again / Chapter 3 - 3. First short movie

Chapter 3 - 3. First short movie

Ji Liyue walked to the door and opened to get the delivery.

After getting the nutrient solution. He went to his elder brother's room and injected A pack of the nutrient solution into his body 

Ji Lixue was stunned when she grabbed one and saw Ji Liyue using the last to pour them into the glass of Mumu and Xinxin and in the milk bottle of Xiaobao.

"Wait! What will you do?!"

Ji Liyue raised his eyebrow.

"I am not hungry yet."

Hearing this, Ji Lixue frowned.

"Let's divide mine-"

"No. You need to think of the baby too. Go and rest."

After being forced back by Ji Liyue, Ji Lixue had no choice but to drink the last one.

Ji Liyue opened the light brain and focused on searching for the entertainment industry in this interstellar era.

After half an hour, he was quite interested in the entertainment industry.

As it was the interstellar era, There were no such rigid processes to become a director or producer.

You just need a good story, actors, and a set and log in to a virtual platform to shoot the scenes.

His light brain was of the cheapest quality and he could only log in to a virtual platform for 30 minutes but that was enough for him to shoot a short movie.

After searching for some more time, he found the Short Movie competition going on the Tianxi Platform, It was a video-watching platform ranking 4th in the interstellar era.

There was a small note that the main leads must be children.

This competition had already been ongoing for 10 days and there were still 15 days before the deadline.

Some people used short movies in 4 or 5 parts to keep the audience and rank high while some just made masterpieces to rank first.

To make movies, Ji Liyue first needed to know the current level of the interstellar directors.

He opened the ranked one's short movie named 'Blue Moon' which was just 30 minutes long. 

But Ji Liyue frowned in the first 3 minutes.

This...is not even close to a novice director on the earth!

Though the camera handling and actors' acting were somewhat bearable the scenes were a mess, the story, on the other hand, was complete shit!

A girl was born on the blue moon and was seen as a curse, her parents abandoned her to save their rich family. Then the whole scene is her struggle. How she was bullied in the orphanage how she saved the small Male lead from another little kid and the two ran away to save their lives.

The ending is on the same Blue Moon's day, the little girl awakens her S-grade mental powers. There will be a part 2 soon but this was the end for part one.

Ji Liyue sighed somewhat tired.

This was just a simple and regular face-slapping story.

After looking for some more videos, he was even more mentally disturbed, some people used children to show slums, some used the royal family to show their internal struggles and some used school-based stories however all had one thing in common: Nonsense stories and no correct camera work.

Ji Liyue first made his account and then looked at the Tianxi platform's actor-hiring site. After looking for a while he turned his head and looked at his two babies.

Mumu and Xinxin both had beautiful blue eyes and dark black hair, Mumu had a ger mole under his left eye while there was a beauty mark under Xinxin's right eye.

The twins looked similar but had obvious differences showing that they were fraternal twins.

Now he has the actors, he only needs a good story.

He suddenly recalled a memory in his mind, in the cultivation world he learned about the story from those children's parents...it was a natural calamity but nothing could be worse than that short-lived life that destroyed their village.

Ji Liyue decided to use that.

After coming to the Actor-hiring site, he saw the free actor platform. These free actors were just graduate students waiting for their debut while some were 100th line stars.

After selecting five of them which matched his memory and characters he started to make the movie.

Using AI to control the five actors who were just selling their images and using the data of Mumu and Xinxin he constructed the movie in a day and his debt increased suddenly.

He could only use the virtual platform for 30 minutes a day and excess use would be credited and he had to pay it back in a week.

After using the virtual platform for 7 hours, he already owed 200-star coins to the virtual platform...

Ji Liyue sighed and uploaded the short Movie's first part and closed the platform to get it out of his mind.

Then he went to accompany his kids to sleep.

While he was sleeping, All Interstellar-era people were active. The night was meant to be used for surfing online.

Rayan was used to watching new short movies in the Tianxi platform's competition but for now, no one could beat 'Blue Moon' in his heart.

Suddenly a new movie caught his eye.

The thing except the title that caught his eye was the thumbnail. It was an extremely beautiful place in the mountains with several light bulbs floating in the night sky. Extremely breathtaking.

The title was 'The Lantern Festival-Dreams.' After clicking the video what caught one's eye was the first scene.

Colorful banners swayed in the gentle breeze, and the scent of traditional festival treats wafted through the lively marketplace.

The ancient atmosphere with fresh air and warm natural sun, the whole scene was full of softness.

A normal house was seen from afar and two cute kids walked hand in hand out of the house.

"Brother, When will mom get better?"

A sweet voice was heard and the little girl in the scene looked at her brother.

The little boy seemed no more than 4 years old and had a mature look which made him even more cute.

"MiaoMiao, Mom said she will get better when Daddy comes back."

The little girl pouted and her eyes became teary.

"But daddy went to buy lanterns for mom..."

The little boy frowned and sighed like an adult.

"Miaomiao, Lanterns are bought in the town which is so far, Daddy will be late."

When saying this, the little boy looked confused as if he didn't understand this. 

Is the town so far?

Are Lanterns really beautiful?

Why have they never seen one in their village?

"But brother...Uncle Ji said that mom...she..hic.."

The tears finally fell and the little boy looked panicked, he quickly put down the basket of eggs in hand down and hugged his little sister and patted her.

"hush. hush, Nothing will happen to mom, Brother will not let anything happen to mom."
