Although most people were filled with doubt and unease, they each prepared themselves.
The filming process they were used to was not like this. But since Xia Wen was the boss, and the boss had spoken, they had to give it a try.
Before long, everyone gradually emerged from the makeup room.
I have to say, at this moment, Xia Wen truly felt like the characters from the game had come to life in front of him.
Take Tingyun, for example.
After some light makeup, putting on the costume and fox tail prop, her naturally charming face became a powerful weapon.
Especially after noticing Xia Wen's gaze, Tingyun's lips curled into a slight smile as she coyly said, "Benefactor~"
Goodness.
A four-star character had become five-star.
Then there was Kafka.
When the scene of her in a purple uniform, purple stockings, and high leather boots came into view, Xia Wen was left in awe.
This time, Kafka did not tease Xia Wen. She simply maintained her elegance, mystery, and an impressive aura of danger.
With a barely noticeable smile, she quietly awaited Xia Wen's command.
To meet everyone's expectations, Xia Wen immediately began the filming process.
With the aid of the Great Director Module, in a space filled with green screens and props, the MiHoYo team witnessed Xia Wen's unparalleled and unique filming technique.
It was as if he knew exactly what the final product would look like.
For example, the scene where Tingyun sells Jing Yuan's photo and Bai Lu accidentally knocks it over.
The lighting, positioning, styling, and reactions were all calmly directed by Xia Wen.
With such arrangements, a short film was completed remarkably quickly.
It felt like a dream. In less than two hours, Xia Wen announced the filming was over.
He looked at the footage with great satisfaction.
After letting the Special Effects Module process the material, he awaited the final product.
A few minutes of footage typically took around ten minutes to complete in previous tests.
"Unfortunately, Stelle won't be here until tomorrow."
Xia Wen shook his head and thought privately.
The script provided by the system still centered around the nameless guest, supplemented by numerous solo character vignettes.
As for the protagonists, Himeko and Welt were present.
Stelle was also on the company's list.
There was no need to showcase Stelle's role; just a straightforward performance would be perfect.
Perfect!
While Xia Wen was considering the related filming issues, a delicate voice sounded in his ear.
"Benefactor~ Is the filming done? Do we need to do any reshoots?"
Xia Wen turned to see Tingyun tilting her head, smiling brightly at him.
The girl exuded a refreshing fragrance, which contrasted sharply with her usual charming demeanor.
"Benefactor?"
Her delicate, boneless hand waved in front of Xia Wen, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made her skin appear even whiter.
Xia Wen snapped back to reality and chuckled, "Benefactor?"
"Isn't that right~"
"Benefactor, you've saved our company, a great person."
"And isn't my character in the script supposed to be like this?"
Tingyun covered her mouth with one hand, laughing, "I really like it. But, Benefactor~ Everyone's feeling uncertain and wondering if we should continue filming to find something better."
"Oh, so that's what you're worried about."
Xia Wen smiled and glanced around.
Indeed, everyone was watching him.
"Then, it's perfect."
"Open your phones and log in to our official website."
"You can then enjoy being among the first audience to see it."
Xia Wen said with a light smile.
Just now, the Special Effects Module had completed all the special effects and, as requested by Xia Wen, uploaded the video to MiHoYo's official website and major mainstream media sites.
If nothing went wrong, it should be visible now.
"Eh?"
"So soon?"
Tingyun was stunned.
Kafka, Himeko, and the others were also bewildered.
But since the boss had said so, they quickly pulled out their phones and logged into the MiHoYo website.
On the original homepage, a video appeared.
Space Comedy
Due to Stelle's absence, the cover image featured the lively and adorable March 7th and the expressionless Dan Heng, both holding a trash can.
On it was a scribbled image of Stelle.
Without a doubt, this was something Xia Wen had deliberately had Gepard draw by hand.
Authentic and original.
And so, the entire filming site was filled with the opening theme of Space Comedy.
With the appearance of a black screen, the MiHoYo logo appeared on the screen.
A light drumbeat rose from low to high, and finally, the image of a trash can appeared.
On the trash can, an abstract image of Stelle, drawn by Gepard, appeared in the center of the screen.
March 7th and Dan Heng stood on either side, each holding a handle of the trash can.
At this point, everyone finally saw something different.
March 7th's eyes widened in surprise as she covered her mouth.
Because during the filming, they were standing in front of a green screen holding trash can props.
But now, the background in the video was a street.
It looked incredibly real.
Even the lighting was exactly like reality.
"Such amazing special effects."
Dan Heng slightly opened his mouth, his eyes filled with shock.
He was very interested in technology and immersed in research books every day, so he was even more aware of how impressive these effects were.
Before everyone could ponder further, the scene continued.
A righteous Gepard was waving his hand forward, as if he were capturing a criminal.
The screen froze.
The name "Gepard Landau" appeared on the side.
Before the scene ended, a pair of hands appeared, placing themselves on Gepard's head and pushing him down.
Serval appeared.
This scene clearly expressed the relationship between the siblings.
"Sister, look at the city background behind us, it's so realistic!"
Gepard, holding his phone, praised sincerely.
Serval, however, did not answer. Instead, she smiled, satisfied, and looked at the screen where the siblings were.
"Little brother, we really look great on screen."
Gepard was stunned, then shook his head without saying more and continued watching.
As the music became more playful, Bronya and Seele flashed by back to back.
Herta struck a shooting pose with an air gun.
The first major scene arrived.
The appearance of the Stellaron Hunter!
