God's Ordination, Child of Destiny

Director Sun looked down silently, and after seeing Zhang Guangmu effortlessly defeat Li Xiaoxiao, he felt terrible.

He stood there like a wooden post, motionless.

The Black Small Balls beside him also trembled, not daring to move or make a sound, for fear of incurring his wrath.

Director Sun Yanwu, who had transformed into a Golden Small Light Group, pondered for a long time before finally uttering a single word.

"Damn!"

After saying this, Sun Yanwu felt like he had walked into a dead end, unable to find a way out no matter how he struggled.

"Was I wrong? Am I making a mistake? If not, how did things turn out like this?"

"This is not the filming style I'm familiar with..."

This experience, like being caught in a ghost loop, was truly unbearable!

"Hoo..." he sighed.

Sun Yanwu had a clear and deep self-awareness.

Unlike directors with artistic aspirations, he never cared about art or philosophy when directing films.

He just wanted to prove himself through filmmaking, earn enough Dragon Shields to make those who looked down on him regret it to their core!

Sun Yanwu had always thought and acted this way.

Since his subconscious wasn't strong enough, lacked unique characteristics, and he couldn't be an outstanding Subconscious Actor, destined not to go far on that path, he decided to change careers!

Become a director!

Great sages once said...

"The iron pass is like a long road, now we stride forward from the beginning!"

At worst, it would just be starting over!

Facts proved that Sun Yanwu had chosen the right path!

He not only established himself in a very short time but even gained fame, becoming the well-known "Real Director"!

"Since ancient times, true feelings are hard to keep, only routines win people's hearts."

Sun Yanwu's commercial films were formulaic, but most audiences, who weren't too picky, would praise them as "not bad" after watching.

That was enough!

For the script of this "Wolf Fortress," Sun Yanwu specifically found veteran scriptwriters he had collaborated with for many years and a Programmer Group with an excellent reputation in the directing circle. He invested heavily to Construct a relatively real world.

Setting aside other matters, just within the books in Wolf Fortress, every single one contained genuine content.

The works of professional writers, with just a few lines of text, could allow people to personally experience the unique customs and traditions of Wolf Fortress.

Those books were like puzzle pieces, and when put together, they could form a Wolf Fortress world brimming with a sense of "realness."

Originally, Sun Yanwu had planned to wait until this film was shot before releasing the content of the related books online in the form of behind-the-scenes footage and Easter eggs, to generate a wave of hype, strengthen his own reputation, and harvest a batch of fans.

Now...

He only felt agitated and distracted.

Hearing him speak, the production team staff below also chimed in.

"Director Sun, please don't be angry. It's bad for your health to get so worked up!"

"That's right, when I read the 'Wolf Fortress' script, I felt this film had the potential to explode in popularity. Now that there's a problem, you can't be blamed solely!"

"Exactly, it's all the actors' fault. They get paid more than us, and their social status is higher, but they're always the ones who mess up!"

"In my opinion, the actor playing 'Tian Guang' suddenly having a surge of potential is something no one could have predicted. Even if the film collapses, I believe the audience will understand..."

"And Yang Chi, who plays the Plot Protagonist 'Lin Xuan,' has too many issues. His Subconscious and Character Setting are in conflict, causing him to completely break down and charge headfirst down the path of villainy, beyond saving."

"We've already done our best to control the situation. We can only say that Zhang Guangmu was one step ahead."

Sun Yanwu roared impatiently, "Enough, stop passing the buck!"

"I need to organize my thoughts now!"

"Don't interrupt!"

He had invested a significant amount of energy and capital into the film "Wolf Fortress," holding very high expectations from the very beginning.

If the reviews weren't particularly bad, it could solidify his position and even elevate him, allowing him to enter the circles of those truly elite directors.

In this film, organizing the plot, pacing the narrative, and employing lyrical techniques were precisely the things Sun Yanwu excelled at!

The Plot Protagonist Lin Xuan was of Noble birth, but was abandoned by his father due to Wolf Phobia, treated as trash by others, and bullied relentlessly. He then obtained the mutated Flame Wolf King, became a Wolf Rider, and achieved Success, gaining fame and fortune, before gradually soaring. He faced assassination attempts, which led him to uncover the Big Villain, the Wolf Fortress Lord Lin Yan, culminating in a Father-son Duel, which Lin Xuan won decisively.

The entire film was structured with a gradual rise after an initial decline. It featured explosive moments of the Youth showing off and gaining respect, heartwarming scenes of Lin Xuan's bond with the mutated Wolf King deepening, and the exhilarating moments of rising rapidly after years of suppression.

The final defeat of the Wolf Fortress Lord Lin Yan, who was both the Big Villain and his father, was the ultimate explosive climax.

In Sun Yanwu's vision, the film's final scene would conclude with Lin Xuan becoming the new generation Wolf Fortress Lord.

This would be the finishing touch, reinforcing the theme and deepening the audience's impression of the "Wolf Fortress" world. It was a standard formula for a satisfying revenge fantasy.

To put it bluntly, with Sun Yanwu's years of experience, within the comfort zone of commercial filmmaking, he knew how to make this type of movie even with his eyes closed and without thinking!

The same genre, unless it's an exceptionally brilliant director with overflowing spiritual energy, is always variations on a theme.

And true geniuses...

The true geniuses in this industry are always squandering their talent and spirituality, making it difficult for them to stick to their own path.

Sun Yanwu had seen too many truly gifted individuals fall.

Qian Yiyuan recently, Cao Guan further back, were living examples!

Therefore, Sun Yanwu firmly believed his choice was correct and that a complete loss of control would never occur.

He could instinctively provide the best solutions and responses to most potential conflicts between an actor's subconscious and their character setting, even without deep thought, turning a disadvantage into an advantage!

The result?

Halfway through the plot of "Wolf Fortress," it completely collapsed, spiraling out of his control.

The one who caused the collapse wasn't any important character in the script, but a nameless extra.

Originally, Sun Yanwu hadn't paid any attention to Zhang Guangmu, considering him just a minor character added as an afterthought when creating a temporary role for Li Xiaoxiao.

But...

The nameless extra gave himself a name and then actually entered a farming and tech-tree progression mode, developing a Flame Artifact that completely overturned the entire combat power system of Wolf Fortress!

During this process, the production team members weren't just slacking off.

They were all doing their best to guide the plot back on track.

For example, through script hints, they tried to make Zhang Guangmu give up research, have relevant characters steal Zhang Guangmu's technology and blueprints, and have elite Wolf Riders clash with "Tian Guang" to directly eliminate this kid.

Unfortunately, Zhang Guangmu had already bonded with Flame Wolf Bai Yue by then, gaining the ability to protect himself. He lived nocturnally, rarely interacting with others except to buy books and daily necessities.

He stayed cooped up in that dilapidated house every day. With the door shut, how could they deal with him?

Trying to eliminate him by dropping bombs was just a pipe dream.

The Imperial Iron Law did not permit such actions.

The production team also lacked the ability to Materially Interfere with the Film World.

So...

Zhang Guangmu, who originally only had the ability to protect himself, rapidly developed. With the Flame Artifact, he gained a world-shattering combat power capable of crushing Wolf Fortress!

If it were only this...

Although "a sharp weapon in hand breeds a murderous heart," those who like to stir up trouble and cause chaos are ultimately a minority, and such people rarely live to grow up.

In reality, he was a law-abiding citizen. In the Film World, as long as no one provoked him, he should have been honest and well-behaved, right?

Unfortunately, Zhang Guangmu wasn't that kind of person.

Without hesitation, he overthrew the Fortress Lord Lin Yan, successfully took his place, and transformed into the Vice Fortress Lord, blocking the Plot Protagonist Lin Xuan's path to advancement.

"Zhang Guangmu."

Director Sun Yanwu repeated the name: "Zhang Guangmu."

He vaguely felt that for a considerable period after "Wolf Fortress" was finished filming, this name might become his nightmare.

After trying to calm himself, he made his tone as peaceful as possible: "You handled the situation well."

"Although Li Xiaoxiao's assassination failed and couldn't pull the Main Plot back on track, his scenes were already finished. The Protagonist Group's Combat Power has also increased significantly due to the Flame Artifact."

"The overall strength gap between the two Factions isn't large."

"Until the very last moment, it's still unknown who will emerge victorious!"

"Yang Chi has never disappointed me since his debut, and this time will be no exception."

Mentioning the name of the Actor playing Lin Xuan, the somewhat stubborn Director Sun felt much better: "Zhang Guangmu is strong, and he has indeed affected the latter half of the 'Wolf Fortress' Main Plot. He has even, to some extent, replaced the final Villain. But Yang Chi is the destined King of Wolf Fortress and will absolutely not lose to him!"

The current plot was like a wild horse that had broken its reins, galloping freely.

And Director Sun had completely let go, choosing to act according to his whims.

Faintly, Sun Yanwu seemed to hear the staff around him whispering strange things.

"Yang Chi's Character Setting has already collapsed..."

"Actually, it's not bad to let Zhang Guangmu take over."

"Tian Guang is definitely stronger than Lin Xuan!"

"After so many years, Director Sun is having an episode again. How rare..."

Sun Yanwu, however, paid no mind to these words, not taking them to heart at all.

He was the creator of "Wolf Fortress." In this world, he was the god who decided everything!

The god-ordained Child of Destiny possessed all the traits of a winner.

Therefore, he would never lose!

Inside the Great Hall of Wolf Fortress.

Zhang Guangmu looked at Li Xiaoxiao, who was closing his eyes and waiting to die, shook his head, and sighed, "You are still young, with infinite possibilities in the future, why do you insist on seeking death?"

In this film, whether Li Xiaoxiao was killed or not would not have a significant impact on the plot.

But Li Xiaoxiao had helped him get the role first, and then he was going to beat the person to death within the film...

He felt that if he did that, his conscience would definitely ache, and he would feel guilty.

Therefore, Zhang Guangmu continued, "To be able to create a Flame Artifact from scratch without any guidance, relying solely on your own intelligence like me, you are indeed a rare genius in this world."

This statement seemed to be praising Li Xiaoxiao, but in reality, it was shamelessly boasting about himself.

After all, if the person speaking this sentence was changed to Zhang Guangmu himself, it would not feel out of place at all.

"I won't kill you."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and met Zhang Guangmu's gaze. He realized that this person was not playing games with him, nor did he have any intention of toying with him like a cat playing with a mouse. His attitude was very sincere, and he clearly admired him.

Youths who were good at reading people's expressions were always meticulous and sentimental.

This realization deepened Li Xiaoxiao's sense of guilt.
