Great Entertainment Era
Lin Qi has been incredibly busy these past few days. He had just finished inspecting the club and seeing off the very excited Baron Reynolds when the Fox told him that James's script was finished.
It was a script that perfectly suited the needs of "Modern People"—aliens, gore, beautiful women, and a non-stop thrilling plot. Just by seeing this script, the Fox father and son realized how terrible the scripts written by their former classmate, Little Fox, were. They really were just like Lin Qi said, there to scam money.
James's script also contains a large number of storyboard shots, which is a scriptwriting style that is gradually becoming popular. In the past, many scripts only had simple text descriptions.
However, as more and more failed films are shifting blame among their producers, screenwriters have undoubtedly become the most severely affected group, as they can shift the blame to the screenwriters no matter whose fault it is.
If Director doesn't make a good film, it can be said that the script lacks depth in its expression.
If an actor doesn't perform well, it can be said that the script's portrayal of the character doesn't meet the needs of the plot.
Even if the official makeup photos are unsatisfactory, the makeup artist can still say that they did the makeup on the actors according to the script.
Therefore, more and more screenwriters are beginning to incorporate their own ideas into their scripts. They add storyboards to express their perspective on certain plot points, and they also include character designs to prove that sometimes it's not their descriptions that are inaccurate, but rather the makeup artist's misunderstanding...
In short, it's a good script, and they plan to start recruiting actors.
This is just a low-budget film. As one of the shareholders of the investors, Lin Qi was naturally approached by the Fox family to discuss the relevant details. Lin Qi said that they could proceed as planned, with open auditions as before.
I don't know if it's related to the economic downturn, but there are more and more beauty pageants and bodybuilding events appearing on the market now, and some board games have also become popular overnight.
Even in the second-tier city of Sabine City, some related clubs have begun to appear, which gives people a very contradictory feeling, yet it is also very harmonious.
People started spending more time on television and games. Starting Monday, the City Hall began distributing Food Stamps and Supply Stamps to unemployed families, which immediately calmed the city's anxiety and significantly improved public safety.
It can also be said that people are gradually accepting this way of life and no longer need to worry about survival, since the government will distribute Food Stamps and the Television Station has added free channels starting this month. Some people are content to stay at home and watch TV.
Various simply dressed beauties and muscular men, their bodies covered in shiny lubricant, appear on television, creating a stark visual impact and occupying more of people's time. Fitness seems to have become a very trendy topic.
Some unemployed people, inspired by television programs, have started exercising. They use simple tools they have on hand to turn them into Fitness Equipment and work up a sweat in their spare time.
In this rapidly sweeping Tidal Wave across society, besides men's fit bodies, women's bodies have also become the most eye-catching focus.
Women had only recently won the opportunity to wear short skirts from men and society, yet they were already appearing in front of people in the simplest of clothes, which undeniably attracted a lot of attention.
Whenever these bodybuilding and beauty pageants are broadcast, the viewership ratings are always incredibly high.
During this period, a very interesting big news story also emerged: a female bodybuilding enthusiast broke up with her boyfriend, which even made it to the media.
Her boyfriend tearfully told the media that they had known each other for more than half a year, and the amount of time she showed him in private was less than the amount she showed on television...
While there are some interesting little news items, they cannot shake the pulse of the times and the trend. Some things are becoming popular in ways that defy common sense, such as hair removal.
After a week of preparation, the Fox family has reached an agreement with the Sabine City Television Station to broadcast the audition for the female lead in their film. The Television Station is willing to provide them with a broadcasting fee, not a large sum, but around tens of thousands of dollars.
However, all advertising and related expenses during the broadcasting process are pocketed by the Television Station.
It was the weekend again, Lin Qi was sitting in the Living Room scribbling on the newspaper. The Crossword Puzzle Crossword Puzzle, which had recently become popular, was all the rage, even surpassing some board games that held national competitions.
In order to boost newspaper sales, some local newspapers would reward the first 100 readers who completed the latest Crossword Puzzle. This led to large crowds gathering outside the newspaper office to do Crossword Puzzle whenever a new issue was released, and Crossword Puzzle became very popular.
This was clearly a very simple game, yet it unexpectedly became a craze throughout the entire Bayer Federation. Television Station across the country even dedicated an hour each week to explaining how to play these Crossword Puzzle! Entertainment began to spread rapidly in an unprecedented way. Many people may not have realized that this was entertainment and the entertainment industry, which had already quietly invaded people's lives.
In front of the television, Lin Qi watched as the host on the screen explained the Crossword Puzzle on the background board in an emotional voice. He wrote down a "standard answer" for the crossword puzzle on the newspaper in his hand.
This was actually the standard answer to the previous Crossword Puzzle. Every week when a new issue of the newspaper was released, the Television Station would announce the answer to the previous issue. After writing and drawing on the newspaper, Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction. He had completed this Crossword Puzzle and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Not long ago, Crossword Puzzle weren't this popular, but starting this month, they've become increasingly attractive, likely due to the newspaper's offer of cash prizes for the top 100.
In today's society, any way to earn extra income quickly becomes popular, such as beauty pageants and bodybuilding competitions. The reason they cause such a sensation is not only because of people's sexual fetish of peeping at other people's bodies, but also because of the generous prize money.
Just like the audition broadcast that has already started on TV, the Fox father and son, who used to be able to hide in the sewers, are sitting openly behind the stage. They are commenting on one young and beautiful girl after another, and even asking them to show a certain body shape.
This audition program for the female lead in the movie has become the ratings king of Sabine City, and has a certain viewership base in the surrounding areas and state. It's not just men who watch it, girls also watch it, they want to know what makes that lucky slut better than them, which gives them the courage to participate in similar events in the future.
There were also some audience members present who often whistled to express their excitement. The girls also let go of their inhibitions and showed their best side. Of course, they were all wearing full clothes and did not expose any parts that should not be exposed.
This is probably one of the most talked-about events in Sabine City right now. In addition, there is a women's Rugby team audition, but the audition is not as popular as the audition for the movie actress. But in general, people have learned about these things.
These viewers seem unaware that the final female lead has already been chosen, and Lin Qi has even met the girl.
She was a nineteen-year-old girl who had already made two adult films, much like most girls who entered the industry—for money.
She was born into a very ordinary family with four siblings. The family could only afford to support them through high school, after which they had to find their own way to the future.
This is a common phenomenon in society today. After graduating from high school, people have to plan for their future. They first move out of their homes, then find a job, and eventually become part of society. They have no fame or status; they only exist for a moment in the vast background when people talk about the word "society."
Society is indeed not fair at times, because there are not many jobs available for girls, and they often face harassment.
After trying two office jobs, the girl resolutely decided to devote herself to the art world.
She has a young and beautiful appearance and a good figure, but the two adult films she starred in received a mediocre response, and the adult film Production Company did not sign a new contract with her.
There are many girls like her in this industry, and there have been even more recently, which has increased the competition in the industry—it sounds ridiculous that even taking off your clothes has become competitive, but that's the reality now.
Every day, there are fresh bodies waiting to be discovered. If a girl can't quickly make a name for herself in the adult film industry, producers will give the opportunity to others, since they're not having an easy time either.
However, the Fox father and son still chose her. On the one hand, the girl's appearance met James's requirements, and James was also one of the judges. On the other hand, she had no objection to the renewal and transfer of the contract.
So after Lin Qi made the final decision, the girl got this opportunity that many people thought was a bit...
Some adult film producers have already contacted the Fox family, offering to buy out the girl's contracts for the next five films, regardless of rating. However, Lin Qi told the Fox family to wait and not to rush things.
Just as Lin Qi was watching the girls on TV vying for attention but destined to fail, the phone rang. The maid handed the phone to him and then left the Living Room.
Qiao Geliman's voice came through the phone, sounding a little tired, but it was good news: Lin Qi's land had a new buyer.
A developer is willing to buy Lin Qi's land for 1.65 million. Lin Qi's land is worth at least 2 million according to market value, but the problem is that market value does not mean transaction price.
As the economy continues to decline, the price of this land will only decrease further. Lin Qi is no longer willing to wait, nor can he wait any longer.
