The number of trolls increased, like a tsunami. Aside from Mihoyo's official site, protected by Silver Wolf, other platforms had been completely overrun.
New viewers saw a flood of negative reviews as their first impression.
This made the three young women increasingly anxious.
----------------------------------------
Xia Wen and Ganyu arrived. Ganyu was holding storyboards and scripts specifically prepared for Furina.
"Boss! You're finally here!"
"Look, these guys are obviously organized to attack us!"
Seeing Xia Wen return, March 7th seemed to see her lifeline and immediately handed her phone to Xia Wen.
A quick glance showed nothing but negative reviews.
Xia Wen frowned and checked platforms like AC, AD, and Bilibili. He found the situation to be the same on all three major platforms, with negative comments flooding the entire comment section by early morning.
However, many of the negative comments had replies from the "Fan Trio": "I eat pasta, I eat small cakes, I eat, eat, eat."
Xia Wen chuckled when he saw this. It was definitely Furina's alternate account.
Despite the amount of negative reviews, Xia Wen wasn't concerned. He smiled and reassured them, "Don't mind them; I already have a plan."
"Don't worry!"
With Xia Wen's promise, the three beautiful girls finally put down their phones.
"By the way, Boss, can we continue shooting today?"
March 7th quickly forgot the earlier unhappiness.
"Not only can we shoot, but we can also speed up the progress!"
Xia Wen smiled mysteriously.
"Why's that?"
March 7th looked at Xia Wen with curiosity.
"Well, we have a new assistant director."
"Ta-da!"
Xia Wen made a show of presenting with his hands, pointing to Furina.
"Ah?"
Furina was taken aback. Many thoughts quickly popped into her head.
"Starting right away as the assistant director?"
"Not even planning to test my skills?"
"This… this is so embarrassing."
But under the gaze of her new friends, Furina cleared her throat, raised her head slightly, and said proudly with modesty:
"Of course! I originally came to discuss cooperation with the boss."
"Becoming the assistant director is only natural!"
"I'll perform well!"
In the end, Furina added a slightly anxious note.
"Very good! Very spirited!"
Xia Wen gave a thumbs up and handed a large stack of paper documents from Ganyu to Furina.
The thick stack almost made Furina drop it.
"These are the relevant materials for Beloborg."
"There are also storyboards and additional shooting guidelines I've prepared."
"And some notes."
After hearing Xia Wen's explanation, Furina gazed blankly at the documents, which were almost as tall as her nose. But she still stubbornly said:
"Just a small thing!"
"I'll understand it all soon!"
Xia Wen believed in her capability.
Originally, the rapid shooting was based on modules from the system and the experience of directly producing finished products.
For Furina, the task was simple.
Just hand over the completed storyboards to Furina.
With Furina's experience, shooting these segments was not a problem.
The important parts would still be handled by Xia Wen himself.
These storyboards were mostly additional content.
After Furina finished filming, she would hand the footage back to Xia Wen for post-production at the Special Effects Module.
This standard process saved Xia Wen a lot of effort, allowing him to advance the series project more quickly.
"With Furina's addition, our shooting progress will be faster."
"And since these little black fans have appeared, a weekly episode, I feel, is already not enough for our production capacity."
Xia Wen snapped his fingers and smiled faintly.
"Boss, won't this be a bit rushed?"
"Can such a production really achieve a weekly episode? I just heard from March 7th that we haven't even finished filming Belobog yet."
Ayaka asked with some concern.
She hadn't seen Xia Wen's shooting methods or the Special Effects Module's production capacity.
From a normal person's perspective, she thought that with the quality of the first episode of "Honkai: Star Rail," it would be normal to take several months for each episode.
But she didn't know her boss had an advantage.
"Don't worry."
"Most of Beloborg has already been filmed."
"I originally planned to use this week to shoot the supplementary scenes."
"But now I can shift my focus to the storylines in the Xianzhou Luofu."
In Xia Wen's plan, the transition from Beloborg to the Xianzhou Luofu storyline was the best opportunity to release "Thousand Star Era"!
"Thousand Star Era: General!"
Using this as a prelude, the overall history of the Xianzhou Luofu, which originally existed only in various texts in the game, would also be released in the form of "Thousand Star Era."
Xia Wen had already thought of the name.
"Thousand Star Era: Xianzhou Luofu General History."
From then on, a major challenge in shooting series was resolved.
That is, what to do with stories that originally existed only in vast texts.
From now on, everything would be done in the "Thousand Star Era" format!
For stories like the "Cosmic Locust Disaster" and "Imperial Wars," the "Thousand Star Era" would be a great supplementary source.
...
With the next strategic goals set, Mihoyo Entertainment's operations were running efficiently.
In the first few days, Xia Wen focused on filming the main important parts.
Furina filmed additional fragments.
The progress was rapid.
At the same time, the Special Effects Module was fully engaged in adding the special effects.
The first episode of Beloborg was also completely finished.
In this orderly filming process, days passed quickly.
Soon, it was Saturday again.
In Mihoyo's screening room, a group of beautiful girls were already sitting there, extremely excited.
They whispered with anticipation.
"After this episode, it will be Belobog!"
"I'm looking forward to our appearance, Seele!"
Bronya and Seele were sitting together, both anxious and excited as they imagined their presented story.
"Well, it's not bad."
"We've only been filming indoors; I don't know what the lower city actually looks like."
Seele folded her arms and said slowly.
Then she smiled, "But yesterday, I just finished filming my PV! I'm really looking forward to this."
While Bronya and Seele were chatting, on the other side, Himeko, Kafka, and Little March 7th were also talking.
But they were curious about the fact that the main storyline of the space station only had the doomsday beast left.
The next episode still had seventy minutes.
They wondered what would be covered.
"During filming, didn't the script content fall short of the seventy-minute runtime?"
Kafka leaned back in her chair, asking curiously.
"It seems so."
"A lot of our additional scenes have already appeared in the first episode."
"For those that haven't appeared, based on the pacing of the previous episode, I estimate it would be at most thirty minutes."
March 7th recalled.
"Exactly what Little March 7th and I thought."
"Just don't know what kind of content can fill the remaining forty minutes."
Himeko sipped her coffee, reflecting slightly.
