Venerable White: I Hope We Can Film Tomorrow!
No, I feel like I can still be saved!
"Senior White, I don't think the role of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' suits me very well." Song Shuhang pointed to his face. "I feel I'm better suited to play a kinder character. For example..."
For example, which character is good?
Holy crap, in this story written by Gao Moumou, it's not easy to find a kind male character among the characters that appear at the beginning.
The only character who could be considered a 'kind male character' seems to be the one who married his senior sister and then died with her in the end, a character who doesn't even have a name.
Moreover, this character was initially quite hated because he married his senior sister.
Song Shuhang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any role that would suit him best.
Seeing Song Shuhang hesitate for a long time, Venerable White said, "I feel that this Senior Brother Gao Sheng needs to have a very kind appearance. In this way, a kind appearance combined with his actions can bring a strong sense of contrast."
The Venerable White's words made perfect sense; Song Shuhang couldn't refute them at all!
Venerable White looked at Song Shuhang: "Shuhang, don't you want to play this role?"
Song Shuhang chuckled dryly, "Senior White, actually... I wasn't prepared at all to play this Senior Brother Gao Sheng. I'm afraid I won't be able to portray the role well."
"Don't worry, while the movie hasn't started filming yet, you can study the role more. Besides, we'll have audition opportunities when filming begins. If it really isn't suitable, we can find another role," Venerable White comforted him.
Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. "That's right." -- There's still an audition opportunity. If he doesn't perform well, they can replace him.
Venerable White asked again, "Shuhang, when will filming for our movie begin?"
"I think we should at least Gao Moumou finishes writing the story, and then have Master Cloud-Swallowing adapt it into a script before we start filming," Song Shuhang replied.
Venerable White: "How long will that take?"
"Gao Moumou once said that the script would be finalized by the end of this month, and then filming could begin. That would coincide with the start of my school term," Song Shuhang murmured.
This summer vacation went by so fast, yet it also felt incredibly long—because he experienced so much during this time. Plus, the 'Jadewater Pavilion' Time City added almost a month to his summer.
"It takes this long?" Venerable White said in a low voice.
"There's no other way, after all, the script needs time. And it will also take some time for the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' to contact the production team and for the production team to prepare and come over for filming," Song Shuhang replied.
"So, it will take even longer?" Venerable White murmured. "I really hope the script can be finished soon. If only we could start filming tomorrow."
The Venerable White felt his 'actor's soul' was burning brightly, and he couldn't wait to act in a movie.
"It won't be that fast. Besides, Gao Moumou and Master Cloud-Swallowing both drank too much and are sleeping and resting. Tomorrow, I'll ask them to finish the script as soon as possible so we can start filming sooner," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Although Cloud-Swallowing was always called a 'master,' he was just a lay disciple who ate meat and drank wine as usual. So he drank a little too much and got drunk.
"That's the only way," said Venerable White.
******************************
August 10th, 7 PM.
Gao Moumou, who had been drunk, suddenly woke up and couldn't fall back asleep.
Deep within him, something called 'inspiration' exploded like a nuclear bomb, filling his mind with countless ideas.
For an author, inspiration is the most important thing in writing. Without inspiration, even with world-class writing skills, what is written is nothing more than a pile of fancy words, lacking soul.
At this moment, Gao Moumou was experiencing a burst of inspiration, couldn't sleep at all. He quickly got out of bed, grabbed paper and pen, and scribbled down the inspiration that came to his mind.
These precious inspirations, once organized, can all become the plot of Gao Moumou's story.
After writing for a while, Gao Moumou wanted to turn on his computer to record these inspirations—but as he was about to turn it on, he saw his girlfriend Mei Yi beside him.
Gao Moumou is a considerate boyfriend.
So as not to disturb Mei Yi's rest, he carefully left the room, taking his paper and pen with him, intending to go to Song Shuhang's or Tubo's room to create something.
When Gao Moumou pushed open the door, he saw a figure walking towards his room.
He is Master Cloud-Swallowing, a 'National First-Class Screenwriter'.
"Oh, young friend Gao Moumou, you're awake?" Master Cloud-Swallowing said with a smile when he saw Gao Moumou.
"Master, you're awake too, aren't you?" Gao Moumou chuckled softly, waving the paper and notebook in his hand. He said, "For some reason, while I was sleeping just now, I suddenly felt a lot of inspiration in my mind. There were so many that I was afraid I would forget them when I woke up, so I got up to write them all down."
"Young friend Gao Moumou, you're in great shape!" Master Cloud-Swallowing chuckled. "Actually, I'm the same way. I was sleeping just now when I suddenly woke up and felt full of energy, always wanting to find something to do. Then I remembered your story, young friend Gao Moumou. So, I thought I'd take advantage of this energy to turn your story into a script as soon as possible."
Gao Moumou and Master Cloud-Swallowing exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
For some reason, at this moment, the two of them suddenly felt as if they had found a kindred spirit.
"Master Cloud-Swallowing, why don't we find a place to complete this story?" Gao Moumou waved his notebook.
"That's exactly what I was thinking," Master Cloud-Swallowing said.
"Then why don't we go to your room, Master? My girlfriend is still resting," Gao Moumou said again.
Master Cloud-Swallowing: "That suits me perfectly."
Thus, the two original authors and screenwriters, who had inexplicably experienced a burst of inspiration and were full of enthusiasm, met in Master Cloud-Swallowing's room and began their scriptwriting process.
Gao Moumou felt that his inspiration hadn't exploded like this in years—so many ideas, countless plot points, were constantly bursting forth in his mind. These ideas and plot points were more than enough for him to finish writing the script!
The Cloud-Swallowing Monk also felt that he had never been so motivated before. His inexhaustible energy was enough to allow him to complete the adaptation of several scripts in one night!
In any case, Gao Moumou and Master Cloud-Swallowing had a sense of confidence.
Tonight, today!
They are determined to write this story perfectly!
******************************
On the other side.
At the confluence of the Eastern Sea and the Pacific Ocean lies a Mysterious Island that has never appeared on any world map. The entire island is shrouded in supernatural forces, and even the most advanced technology cannot detect its existence.
Countless colorful butterflies flutter above the small island—this is the home of Miss Soft Feather, 'Spirit Butterfly Island'.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly sat quietly in a pavilion, instructing her daughter on how to construct the formation for her Tribulation Transcendence.
The construction of the Tribulation-Transcending Formation is also very particular. The Heavenly Tribulation is not a one-time event. In addition to the Tribulation Lightning, the Fourth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation will also include various other Heavenly Tribulation such as Water Tribulation, Fire Tribulation, and Earth Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation are unpredictable, so when constructing Tribulation-Transcending Formation, various preparations are necessary to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Soft Feather wiped away her sweat; constructing such a massive and complex array on her own was exhausting. However, these arrays had to be constructed by her alone; her father, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, could not interfere, otherwise the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would be amplified.
"Almost there, don't rush. Today I'm being incredibly patient, 'Young Feather'. Once I complete the formation and successfully Tribulation Transcendence, I can go find Senior Song to make a movie together. Father has promised me too. Go for it, Young Feather!" Soft Feather murmured.
"Senior Song, wait for me! You must prepare an interesting role for me!" Soft Feather clenched her fist secretly and continued to stubbornly construct the formation.
She definitely couldn't miss out on something as fun as making movies.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly in the pavilion took a small sip of tea.
At that moment, a colorful butterfly landed on the shoulder of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly.
"Master, I have contacted an elite film crew. They are currently filming at Ox Summit Mountain in Wenzhou City, China. I have reached an agreement with them, and tomorrow they will head to the Jiangnan Region to begin preparations for filming Song Shuhang's movie." The colorful butterfly transmitted the information to the Venerable Spirit Butterfly via Secret Voice Transmission: "Also, Master, I have sent people to infiltrate the film crew. This will enhance their efficiency and ensure the movie is filmed in the shortest possible time. As instructed, Master, I have assigned an Illusion Butterfly to each member of the crew. With the Illusion Butterfly present, even if some surprising scenes are captured during filming, the crew members will not be surprised."
Because the movie's actors will be a group of powerful cultivators, they might suddenly Earth Escape or use some kind of magical attack during filming.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the meticulous Venerable Spirit Butterfly assigned each member of the film crew an Illusion Butterfly. In the future... if these members of the film crew see the supernatural power of cultivators, their minds will automatically block out or fill in the blanks with those images.
For example, if a cultivator uses the "Palm Thunder" technique, the Palm Thunder will be blocked. If a cultivator is flying Earth Escape, various props will be automatically generated in the mind.
"Well done." Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled and nodded. "Furthermore, our Spirit Butterfly Island will take over the catering for the entire crew. We'll add some 'Vitality Potion' and Diluted Blood Qi Pill Elixir's to every meal, and add some Spirit-Vein Jade Tea leaves to their drinking water. We'll ensure that the entire crew, from top to bottom, is full of energy and vitality."
"No problem, Master," the butterfly replied, flapping its wings.
"Let's leave it at that for now," Venerable Spirit Butterfly nodded.
