Chapter 828: Production of “Wandering Planet”
When the Clown Sea Serpent woke up, Su Yang was on the phone with his parents.
Previously, when Su Yang and Wang Jiang were fighting, in order to prevent any accidents from happening to his parents, he bought a plane ticket and signed up for a travel agency, allowing the couple to travel around the world.
Shark One, on the other hand, had been following the old couple and protecting them in secret as a bodyguard.
The old couple did not know how dangerous things were with Su Yang back in the country. They only felt that Su Yang had earned a lot of money and was trying to be filial to the two elderly.
In fact, they did not even know how much Su Yang had earned.
Due to the lack of news in the village, Su Yang was most famous for his wealth being exposed on the rankings board. However, he was ranked in the top 100, which was not eye-catching.
At that time, there were only a few media outlets in Shanghai and a few public accounts that took advantage of the situation to make a name for themselves. Coupled with the fact that there were very few young people in the village and they did not pay much attention to these matters, the old couple did not know that Su Yang had become a billionaire.
They, including the villagers, only knew that Su Yang seemed to have set up a company that was in full swing. Apart from that, he was also involved with some celebrities and even filmed a movie.
However, they did not know what the movie was called.
That’s right. In that day and age, news on celebrities was more eye-catching, so Su Yang was still basking in Han Yi’s glory.
Therefore, the old couple had a lot of fun on that trip to the twenty European countries. After their fun was over, Su Yang even let them fly to America to stall for time so that they could have fun all over the world.
Therefore, the old couple only returned to their village after three to four months.
When they returned to their village, the old couple looked like they were celebrating the new year with four big boxes filled with specialties, and they went from door to door to deliver them to their villagers.
Firstly, it was a tradition, and secondly, they wanted to flaunt as well. ‘Look, we brought these back after my son paid for us to travel overseas. Do you have such a good son?’
Needless to say, they did receive many envious looks.
On the other end of the phone, the old couple was telling Su Yang about the interesting things that they had encountered when they went to their neighbors, as well as sharing their experiences overseas.
Su Yang did not have many merits, but he was definitely filial. Hence, even though the old couple had been nagging for more than forty minutes, he did not show any signs of impatience. He just sat there and listened to their conversation while occasionally agreeing to their requests.
After they were done talking about their own matters, Su Yang’s mother started to care about Su Yang’s matters. “Son, I saw on the news that you seem to be with that big star in your company. What’s her name again?”
Su Yang replied, “Han Yi?”
Su Yang’s mother replied, “Yes, yes! Han Yi, I heard that you two are dating?”
When he heard what his mother said, Su Yang stopped flipping the pages and said with a smile, “Mom, everything you see online is fake. There’s nothing between Han Yi and I. It’s just a normal working relationship.”
When Su Yang’s mother heard this, she let out a sigh of pity. “Aww, why is it just an ordinary relationship?”
Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.
‘Why did she sound like she has high hopes for Han Yi?’
However, Su Yang did not want to argue with his mother, so he pushed the blame to Han Yi without any hesitation. “Mom, Han Yi is a female celebrity. She has to pay attention to scandals so that she can develop her career. So, how would she have the time to date when she’s so busy?
“Furthermore, we are in a superior-subordinate relationship. The company has made it clear that office romance is banned.”
Su Yang’s mother was speechless.
Even though she did not know what sort of office romance an actress who flew around outside everyday would have, after hearing her son’s words, she decided to put it past her. Hence, she pondered for a while before asking in her native accent, “Oh, is there a girl you like then?”
Su Yang stopped what he was doing and the image of Chu Xia appeared in his mind.
He smiled and said, “Yes.”
On the other end of the phone, Su Yang’s mother’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll come over with the family someday!”
Su Yang felt a headache coming on. He said, “Mom, don’t you know how old I am? I’m only 20 years old. There’s no hurry. At least wait until we’re stable.”
Su Yang’s mother said angrily, “There’s no hurry! Xiao Hu from the south side of the village gave birth last year. Also, that girl from the east side of the village is having her second child this year. So, can you put in more effort?!”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘If I do put in the effort, Chu Xia’s mom is probably going to cook me up…’
The people of the same age in his village were good in every way, except that they got married and had children too early. This gave Su Yang too much pressure. After all, as parents, their greatest hope was to have a grandson or granddaughter to play with. Correction, to pass down their legacy…
However, it was impossible for Su Yang to give birth at the age of 20.
At that thought, Su Yang’s eyes lit up. ‘Should I throw Tang Xiaomi to the old couple to play with? Perhaps she would really be like their own granddaughter.
‘However… Judging by how the villagers would “brainwash” the kids, I’m afraid that if I send the little princess there, she would become a mini Arya in a month.’
Hence, Su Yang quickly used the excuse that he was still in school and that the school rules forbade him from dating.
As for the girl he said he liked, he told his parents that it was just a crush.
Su Yang’s mother had nothing else to say after hearing Su Yang’s words. She could only mutter under her breath, but Su Yang could not hear her clearly. He could only vaguely hear things like “dating is restricted in university?”, “it seems like that would happen in high school, so it might actually be possible in university”, “this brat is such a let down”, “he doesn’t inherit his father’s character at all”.
Anyway, Su Yang could only pretend that he did not hear it. However, he was extremely elated inside.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang heard Little Deeny’s voice. “Master, the Clown Sea Serpent just crawled out from the ground.”
Su Yang nodded and continued reading. “Let him rest for a while before having him come see me.”
“Yes, Master.”
After a while, the Clown Sea Serpent came before Su Yang.
After not seeing him for a few months, Su Yang took a good look at him. From his appearance, he did not seem to have changed much. He still had a thin figure, his face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his hair was messy. Even after washing up, he still looked a little messy.
If he had only seen him for the first time, he would not have associated him with danger, but he would have suspected that he was mentally unsound like a drug addict.
Even after experiencing “death” once, there was still no change in the Clown Sea Serpent’s personality. He grinned at Su Yang and knelt on one knee. “Master.”
Su Yang said, “Get up.”
The Clown Sea Serpent stood up.
Su Yang looked at him and said, “When you were bathing just now, Little Deeny told you about the situation in Central Asia, didn’t she?”
When he heard Su Yang say that, a dangerous aura appeared on the Clown Sea Serpent’s smiling face. His eyes shone with a cold light, and he looked like he was ready to kill.
“Master, Sister Little Deeny has already told me about it. Actually, I did notice it earlier and made some preparations, but I did not expect them to be so cruel and savage.”
Su Yang could not help but smile when he heard what the Clown Sea Serpent said.
‘The Clown Sea Serpent has actually said that others are cruel and savage?
‘Is this still the same Clown Sea Serpent that killed a whole yacht full of people?
‘It seems that the attack has taught the Clown Sea Serpent a lesson.
‘That’s good.
‘At the very least, he would understand that the problems of this world cannot be solved by a single little monster alone. No matter how strong a little monster is, humans still have large tanks to cleanse the land. No matter how strong a little monster is, they would still not be able to escape from actual heavy firearms.
‘Well then, this can be considered as a lesson to the little monsters in the family, especially someone as lawless as the Clown Sea Serpent.’
The Clown Sea Serpent did not know that Su Yang thought so much just because he said one sentence. He said with hatred, “As for who it was that launched the attack… I’ve got an idea. It’s Martha’s organization.”
When Su Yang heard this, he was a little curious. “Martha’s organization?”
“That’s right. They’re a very powerful force in Central Asia. I attacked their base and stole the researchers, including Martha. They probably found some clues, so they followed it and came looking for me.
“It’s my fault for being careless. I didn’t expect them to attack me so openly. Otherwise, we might not actually know who will emerge victorious.”
Upon hearing that, Su Yang waved his hand. “Don’t keep saying empty words. Since you’re confident, you should return to Central Asia.”
The Clown Sea Serpent nodded and knelt on one knee again. “Yes, Master.”
After standing up, the Clown Sea Serpent made a military pledge. “Master, unless I unite Central Asia in secret, I will not return to you.”
Su Yang lowered his head to read his book and waved his hand again.
The Clown Sea Serpent nodded and left the virtual space.
Su Yang was not surprised by the Clown Sea Serpent’s choice. After all, if he himself had suffered such a huge loss and almost died, Su Yang would not let these enemies off.
However… Unifying Central Asia was no longer important to Su Yang.
Just as Zhao Licheng said, with the country backing him up, Su Yang’s development no longer required Central Asia.
However, Central Asia was, after all, a nail in the coffin for the international situation. It was important for Su Yang to unify the entire world in the future.
Furthermore, after experiencing so many things, Su Yang knew that he could not put all of his eggs in the same basket. He might end up losing everything. Therefore, it was important to leave a piece of land in Central Asia.
New Year’s Day passed by quickly. Su Yang did not idle around during this legal holiday. He was still reading books and accumulating servers to speed up the production of “Wandering Planet”.
While the Clown Sea Serpent was dealing with the matters in Central Asia, Su Yang did not forget to settle everything in the country before leaving.
Amongst them, the release of “Wandering Planet” was his top priority.
After all, the movie was related to Su Yang’s Platinum Mission.
In order to complete his Platinum Mission and obtain Platinum Points, Su Yang had to make “Wandering Planet” the top box office in the country.
Hence, Su Yang worked overtime and finally completed the production of “Wandering Planet” after the New Year’s holiday.
On the first day after New Year’s Day, Su Yang, Guo Fan, and the special effects producers from Jiadian Pictures watched the film together.
When they saw their own carefully designed cameras and special effects appearing on the big screen one after another, both Guo Fan and Jiadian Picture’s special effects producers were moved to tears.
Not only did they feel like they had achieved their dream, but they also knew what this movie meant. This meant that a sci-fi blockbuster that had never been seen before was finally born!
In the future, all Chinese could openly say to others, “Our country also has sci-fi films and special effects films.”
Looking at the whole situation, this confidence that originated from five thousand years of history was fully displayed. Other countries ran away when Earth was in danger, but China was the only country who took Earth with them and wandered together.
This was like a replica of Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood of China. This movie, which was filled with the spirit of China, was the one that truly belonged to the Chinese!
After the internal screening, Su Yang quickly contacted the National Films and personally brought the film to the Imperial Capital with Guo Fan to show the results. As one of the producers of “Wandering Planet”, National Films placed a lot of importance on “Wandering Planet”.
That day, the chairman, general manager, and several directors of the film department all came.
After watching the entire movie, these big shots could not hide their shock and smiles.
Because they knew that this time, they might actually witness a miracle.
This was the best domestic movie that they had ever seen. This kind of special effect, this kind of plot, this kind of spirit, no one would doubt it if it was Hollywood.
This was especially true about the core of this movie, it’s a collective heroism unique to China, where they haven’t got any heroes, but in times of danger, every Chinese person would become a hero who saves their country! Thus, they would have millions of heroes in the end!
Even if a hero falls, thousands more would emerge!
This was the true national pride that China had built up over five thousand years.
Therefore, after watching the movie, the few big shots did not hesitate. They immediately gave the green light and sent the movie out for approval.
With the protection of National Films, the movie got approved very quickly without a single scene cut off.
Of course, this might also be due to Su Yang’s presence.
After all, now that the Wangs had turned cold, no one was willing to offend Su Yang.
So very quickly, “Wandering Planet” passed the audit, and all that was left was to edit, promote, film, and officially air.
There was almost no need to set a schedule. The reason why Su Yang had to work overtime to complete “Wandering Planet” was so that he could catch up with the Chinese New Year schedule.
One had to know that “Wolf Warriors 2” was still a huge box office hit during the summer break. Based on the potential that Little Hus sniffed from it, that movie was even better than “Wandering Planet”.
Hence, Su Yang did not want to fight head-on.
Therefore, “Wandering Planet” was set for the first day of the new year without hesitation.
So, after the documentation, it was time for publicity.
Whether a movie’s box office earnings were high or not was actually directly proportional to the amount of publicity it could get.
A good movie did indeed have “natural fame”, but if they did not promote it well, it would definitely affect the total box office.
Therefore, Su Yang, who was wealthy and wanted to reap the entire country, decided to invest a huge sum of money to promote “Wandering Planet” without any hesitation…
