My perfect apocalyptic life

Cui Yangfan, the director of "Plant Man vs. Zombie", or the director whose official name is "Arrival", can be said to be very satisfied recently.

As the first director after the new era, under such circumstances, the box office of the film he directed reached 50 million in just two days!

You know, some directors have studied theory all their lives, no matter what their doctorate title or research president, they still make bad movies. As for himself, an ordinary college student could make such a great movie, Cui Yangfan felt that he didn't need to say anything more.

Spielberg?

Akira Kurosawa?

Quentin?

Sorry, they are all baskets.

The future world will only belong to Cui Yangfan!

Although he didn't know what Chairman Meng was going to do with him this time, Cui Yangfan was still very excited. He guessed that it might be about the financing of the next movie.

He already has a plan for a second movie in his mind, and this time he will write and direct it himself!

He thought of the plot. The story takes place in Heqing City during a period of rapid economic development. The protagonists, four boys, live, study, work and grow up in this beautiful and fashionable city. The four brothers have had a deep relationship since childhood, but each has a different personality. They live together in the same dormitory day and night, and the end of the world comes. The ensuing huge pressure to survive makes the seemingly peaceful campus life happen one after another, which makes them unprepared, don't know how to face it, and need to make choices.

At the same time, there are still four girls who are inextricably linked to them.

He was so inspired that he felt that he could make four movies in a row, each with just the right amount of money, and put himself on the throne of a world-renowned director!

There were three other people who came with me, including lighting and photography. As for the male lead Qin Baochuan and the second female lead Ji Meilun, they had already left early. The female lead did not come... because the female lead is a member of the Peace Order Group. The executive's daughter is too young and has already gone to school.

It can almost be said that everyone on the crew was brought together.

This made Cui Yangfan even more thoughtful.

Is it a celebration banquet? I heard that the company will reward meritorious officials with a quota to become a superpower. Do you think I should become a strength type or a speed type? It’s so nerve-wracking…

Cui Yangfan is looking forward to it.

But as soon as Cui Yangfan arrived at the door of the chairman's office, he heard a scream coming from inside.

At the door of the chairman's office, four commandos equipped with live ammunition stood, seemingly guarding the door.

The murderous aura on their bodies has not dissipated, and they look as if they have just been withdrawn from the frontline battlefield. Their eyes are full of murderous intent. Just one glance at Cui Yangfan made Cui Yangfan feel a little shuddered and couldn't help but shudder. .

"Name."

A harsh and murderous voice sounded in Cui Yangfan's ears. Although Cui Yangfan was a little timid, he still cheered up and said to the four people holding guns in front of him: "We are the staff of the "Arrival" crew, and I am the director. Cui Yangfan, the chairman asked us to come here."

"Go sit in the lounge for a while. The chairman has important things to do now and will summon you later."

The leading man spoke loudly, rejecting Cui Yangfan's request to come in now, and pointed to the lounge on the left side.

Seeing this situation, Cui Yangfan naturally did not dare to say anything and just did his best.

After entering, Cui Yangfan found that the first male lead, Qin Baochuan, and the second female lead, Ji Meilun, had been waiting here for a long time. Cui Yangfan couldn't hold back for a moment, and came to Qin Baochuan, and whispered: "Old Qin, what's going on inside? Really? Why did I hear some screams? It was so weird..."

"I heard that the order guard's action team captured several gangsters from Santong City who killed the liaison officers sent by our company."

Qin Baochuan said calmly, he is a contracted artist of 'Order Interactive Entertainment', and he is also a lifelong contracted artist, so naturally he should be called 'our company': "Two were sent to the safe zone, and the remaining one seems to be The culprit, or maybe he was the one who did it...anyway, the death of the liaison officer was inextricably related to him, and Director Meng arranged it himself. "

Hearing Qin Baochuan's words, Cui Yangfan felt a little breathtaking.

However, things got better when he thought that Meng Xu was his immediate superior and the boss after all.

But then he started to worry that Meng Xu would be some kind of tyrant, and he suddenly became a little worried.

But considering that I haven't heard of anyone in the company who offended Director Meng and was fired from Physics, things got better again.

However, he thought about the time when he was recruiting new people again. It was said that Meng Dong personally took action and performed craniotomy on a few stubborn guys. In addition, when he was filming, he saw with his own eyes how Meng Xu treated him. Kong Liang’s…

Cui Yangfan's current mood can be described as restless, like riding a roller coaster, and he doesn't know what to think at all.

And just as Cui Yangfan was repeatedly tangled in this feeling of great joy and great sorrow, great joy and great sorrow, until he heard a knock on the door: "You can go in."

After hearing the knock on the door, Cui Yangfan quickly stood up and walked towards Meng Xu's office with the leading actors and other photographers and lights.

Meng Xu's office is very large, occupying almost half of the floor. It can be said to be one or two hundred square meters. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a home. No wonder the office is also equipped with a series of equipment such as beds, toilets, and kitchens.

As soon as he came in, Cui Yangfan could see a long blood stain in the office. At this moment, a cleaner who didn't look like a cleaner was cleaning the trace.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but shudder again.

Others didn't react much. The second female lead, Ji Meilun, even put on heavy makeup and showed off to Meng Xu, as if she had other plans.

Ji Meilun came from short dramas, and often played the role of the female boss/eldest lady/evil beauty/beautiful young mother/cheating young woman who looks down on the protagonist. Everyone understands the size of short dramas, so Ji Meilun especially grasped this opportunity. .

Meng Xu directly ignored Ji Meilun's situation and looked at the director Cui Yangfan. Looking at this cowardly director, Meng Xu couldn't help but frown: No wonder the filming was so rubbish and the director's quality was not good!

[Name: Cui Yangfan. 】

[Occupation: student, director. 】

[Level: Level 7, Level 6. 】

At this level, is it someone's relationship? How did you get involved?

If this movie hadn't been the first one after the apocalypse, and the 'special effects' were very realistic, I'd probably have been called a fool in peacetime.

"Everyone is our minister."

Although Meng Xu was dissatisfied with the director's ability and the grass-roots team of this crew, on the surface he was still warm and warm, and he looked as cheerful as those CEOs in TV series: "The success of this movie, It would not be possible without everyone’s efforts!”

‘Well, it’s inseparable from your generous spending and relentless publicity. ’

Qin Baochuan thought in his heart, he naturally knew that this movie was rubbish except for the special effects. The reason why it had a box office of more than 40 million was because the more than 40 million was produced by Meng Xu. If he received good reviews, he would get cash back and watch the movie. , who won’t come?

This is the first new entertainment item after the end of the world. You can catch rabbits in the grass and catch a second glance.

That's it, the box office is only over 40 million to less than 50 million.

Qin Baochuan has seen the world, so he is naturally different from Cui Yangfan, a country boy who has never seen the world. He feels that if this is always the case, the film industry can only achieve false prosperity...

However, he didn't have any other ideas or good methods.

After all, the zombie crisis is imminent now. Although it seems that the company and the safe zone are thriving, they have conquered three cities and will soon take over the entire Nanjiang Province, but the lessons from the past are right in front of us, and no one knows what the future will look like.

Talking about movies and other entertainment industries in an unsafe environment is indeed a bit too disrespectful.

Even Qin Baochuan didn't know what Meng Xu wanted to do.

Why use your own money to 'brush' the box office.

It's very confusing and difficult to understand.

It is understandable to make movies to mobilize people and appease groups, but this behavior of box office and box office... is it to restore the market economy and develop the habit of everyone paying? This is not necessary. It’s not like we haven’t experienced peaceful times. Everyone still has the concept of paying.

Qin Baochuan was puzzled.

Just when Qin Baochuan was puzzled, he heard Meng Xu continue to speak: "Everyone, the movie box office has not exceeded 100 million, which shows that we still have room for improvement. We must not relax, we must work hard, work hard! "

Hearing Meng Xu's words, Qin Baochuan was about to say polite words, but saw Meng Xu change the subject and continue: "Next, we will hold a nationwide road show! In more cities, attract more audiences Are you excited to see our movie?”

Qin Baochuan:?

Everyone in the crew:? ? ?

Everyone was stunned when they heard Meng Xu's words.

What does this mean?

Did they hear it correctly?

Nationwide, nationwide road show?

This, this, this...

Everyone's expressions froze. National road shows are not a treatment that every crew can have. In the past, Cui Yangfan dreamed of having this day, but now, when this day actually comes, Cui Yangfan is full of tears. It's fear, I just feel like my sky is falling.

After thinking about this, Cui Yangfan still had some illusions, and asked Meng Xu in a low voice: "Old, boss, are we... going to Shengfeng and Zhangde City for a tour?"

"Shengfeng? Zhangde?"

Meng Xu shook his head and said calmly: "Is this still a national tour? Is there only one Nanjiang Province in the Eastern Kingdom? Our first stop is the Magic City, and we will go to Wuyang immediately, and then go to Nandu, Licheng, Tanzhou... Anyway, there are many places to go. Do you prefer the imperial capital or Yangcheng? You can also go to mountain cities, and Rongcheng is also good. If you can't, you can travel at public expense and go to the Western Regions and other places farther away, but you can't go abroad. After all, we are a global city. Tour.”

Everyone present was dumbfounded when they heard Meng Xu name out the big cities in peaceful times, including the members of the special commando who escorted the 'Biaozi' over.

Roadshow?

Are you serious, Chairman?

Magic City, Nandu, Yangcheng...are these places safe? Aren't they still under the control of zombies? Especially now that everyone knows about the existence of the Chosen One, these places are probably not as good as Heqing and Zhangde.

Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak.

When Meng Xu saw this, he slowly said: "What's wrong? I'm so excited when I know I'm going on a trip that I can't speak. OK, OK, go get ready. I won't bring too much for this road show." People, just you and Shen Zhaozhao and Luo Xinchan, this opportunity is rare, so you must cherish it. "

Shen Zhaozhao is the screenwriter, and Luo Xinchan makes a special appearance (actually a guest appearance).

Therefore, bringing the two of them is completely in line with the mission standards.

Meng Xu brought Shen Zhaozhao with him because he wanted to see what Shen Zhaozhao's abilities were and whether he could stimulate Shen Zhaozhao's abilities through other means. At the same time, he also asked the reporter Shen Zhaozhao to report the situation and let the residents of Heqing City Base Camp know about it. Meng Xu's strength: leading a crew to travel through dangerous areas at will.

After Meng Xu's announcement, everyone fell into silence.

Especially Ji Meilun, she didn't have the seductive posture just now. Instead, she was very frightened, her face turned pale, and her body was shaking, as if someone had informed her that she was going to the execution ground in the next second.

Seeing this scene, Meng Xu shook his head and said, "Which of you doesn't want to go?"

There are so many cast and crew members, you can take your pick.

There is no need to force those who don’t want to go to go with you.

It’s easy to hold yourself back.

But... everyone who goes will be rewarded heavily, and the company will favor them in the future.

Risks and benefits are equated.

However, Meng Xu soon realized that something was wrong with his words, a bit like a threat, and he immediately added: "Whether you go or not is entirely up to your own free will. There will be a lot of room for future development if you go with me. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go. After all, it’s a long journey, so I can understand if you don’t want to go.”

After hearing Meng Xu's words, everyone who was still wondering whether Meng Xu's words were true or false immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Meilun was the first to speak: "Mr. Meng, I don't want to go!"

"OK, you can go out."

Meng Xu nodded, already expecting this.

After hearing Meng Xu's words, Ji Meilun breathed a sigh of relief and left the office respectfully.

Others were hesitant.

Naturally, they could hear Meng Xu's most critical words.

Whether you go this time or not is related to your future.

Do you want to take a gamble?

Or continue to live a life like a cow and a horse?

Everyone present was clearly and keenly aware that this seemed to be a rare opportunity for them to surpass the original times of peace.

In peaceful times, they had very little room for progress, and no matter how much progress they made, it would be difficult for them to become wealthy people with tens of millions of assets. But now that the apocalypse has come, their opportunity has come.

"I'll go with you, Mr. Meng!"

The first one to agree was Qin Baochuan without any hesitation.

Although Qin Baochuan has already become famous in everyone's eyes, even if he doesn't go to star in the future, he will still be there: after all, after the apocalypse, many actors have turned into zombies, and there are not many professional actors. Even if he doesn't go to the future, he will still be there. very good.

But Qin Baochuan knew very well that what he wanted was not the best actor on the screen.

He wants a big one.

The reason why successful people are successful is that, except for those who enjoy their success and those who are mostly lucky, most people still have the courage to give it a try. They are smarter, braver, and greedier than ordinary people, so that they can achieve success!

What Meng Xu didn't expect was that the second person to go with him was director Cui Yangfan.

No, buddy, you want to go with me even if you are a little nervous looking at your own people?

Meng Xu was a little surprised by Cui Yangfan's performance, but it didn't matter. Maybe he wanted to transform? We still have to give people a chance.

Then, after much thought and deliberation, the lighting engineer chose to withdraw and gave up this position with great potential for advancement to others.

Meng Xu also understood this very well.

The chief cameraman did not leave, which made Meng Xu very satisfied.

In this way, we only need to prepare two places for this road show.

Meng Xu already had a candidate in mind.

The first choice, Li Xiang!

Li Xiang also participated, playing an unknown zombie.

At the same time, Li Xiang also served as the filming security captain for a period of time.

Therefore, from these two aspects, Li Xiang can go on the road show with Meng Xu.

The second candidate has not been decided yet, so they can make their own internal selection and select the guy who wants to improve the most.

As long as he/she abides by the rules, Meng Xu allows him/her to progress within the rules.

Following Meng Xu's instructions, everything was happy, and Meng Xu also announced the road show time: one month later.

Although he had plenty of time, Meng Xu had just come back and still wanted to rest in the base camp for a while, but he didn't want to run out casually, so a month's rest could also give these actors and crew time to prepare.

After hearing Meng Xu's instructions, everyone left happily, but before leaving, Cui Yangfan couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Meng, the person you interrogated just now..."

Hearing Cui Yangfan's voice, Meng Xu said calmly: "He went to the biological laboratory. He volunteered to become a volunteer and contribute his own strength to biological and chemical weapons."

Yes, he volunteered.

After all, if he didn't go, the other end would be execution in Lingchi.

Really Lingchi.

Therefore, he happily chose to become a volunteer.

However, Meng Xu believed that he regretted it soon, but there was no regret option in the contract.

Cui Yangfan couldn't help but trembled when he heard the words 'biological laboratory'.

When Meng Xu saw this, he couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Courage is commendable, but in the future you need to be more professional and technical, so that I can arrange work for you more easily."

"Okay, Director Meng, I will continue to study 'from scriptwriter to director, the birth process of a famous director' when I get back." Cui Yangfan nodded like garlic.

Soon, after they all left, Meng Xu was the only one left in the office.

Even Shen Zhaozhao quickly returned to work and prepared to publish the news materials he shot.

Sitting in the office, Meng Xu looked at the reports from various departments.

Regarding some reports from the internal affairs department, Meng Xu directly handed them over to An Qiuyu and asked President An to handle these trivial matters.

Among the reports, there were only three things that really made Meng Xu feel interesting.

The first thing is that the AI ​​department and the Mechanical Technology R\u0026D Center jointly proposed to establish a 'robot dog army'. They would use the current relatively advanced neuron system technology and AI technology to jointly create mechanical dogs that can be used by mentally strong users in the rear. Control the mechanical dog to handle some difficult tasks and avoid casualties.

In this regard, Meng Xu expressed his affirmation.

However, the cost of building mechanical dogs is a bit high. Unless it is a particularly elite mission, Meng Xu feels there is no need to send these things over. After all, zombies can also have the same effect. Meng Xu also has more than a thousand zombie employees under his command. Zombie employees can also cheat a wave of pensions, which is better than robot dogs.

However, Meng Xu still agreed to the proposal and was going to let his cheap apprentice go over to carry out auxiliary tasks.

Mentally powerful, no one in the entire company can control Zhang Yuqing except herself.

The second thing is that the biological laboratory has reached a new high. The plant armor has been thoroughly researched, and the experiment leader Du Mi wants to request a practical experiment.

Meng Xu thought about it and realized that this was quite simple.

Let a team of ground cleaning troops (zombie employees) who are going to die try wearing it. If it is really reliable, it can indeed be sold outside.

The third thing was somewhat beyond Meng Xu's expectations.

A secret wireless message came from Wuyang City, which was organized by a survivor. They asked for help from the peaceful order, claiming that there were some unusual scenes here.

A huge insect egg appeared near the survivor camp where they were, and it began to hatch quickly!

Meng Xu attached great importance to this matter!

Wuyang City is the only place in Nanjiang Province where the Chosen One currently exists.

A sudden change occurred in Wuyang City.

It's most likely the Chosen One's fault!

"It seems I have to handle this matter personally."

Meng Xu tapped the table with his fingers and sighed deeply: "It just so happens that Wuyang City has my villa, and the road show target can also be placed in Wuyang City... It's also convenient to find a few teams of people to wear new equipment. You can test the strength of the new equipment.”

As soon as he thought about this, Meng Xu immediately picked up the phone on the table.

"Pick An Qiuyu, Zhang Lunping, Huo Guangcheng, Adela and... well, Ge Zhichong, and ask them to come to the office to see me."

Meng Xu read out several names.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the first few. The last one, Ge Zhichong, is the actual person in charge of the current order guard.

He is a former retired military officer.

Meng Xu had met him a few times, but he wasn't very familiar with him.

It just so happens that this time, we can connect with each other emotionally.
