Liu Yan was at a loss for words.
She stood there with her mouth wide open as if she could not close it anymore.
That was the expression she maintained as she watched the entire thing.
‘Wait a minute, what was that just now? Such a cool thing, is it really made by our company and not someone else?
‘Oh my god!
‘Am I dreaming!’
She clutched her forehead absent-mindedly.
That was unbelievable. How could a director who had never filmed anything and a group of actors who had never acted in a movie produce something so incredible?
Moreover, it was completed in less than three months!
How could they achieve all that in three months? Where did the cool special effects come from?
“Is… is this really our movie?” After a long time, she gulped and asked softly.
Tang Hao laughed and replied, “Whose could it be then?”
Liu Yan opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Then, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she revealed a bitter smile.
She did not even plan to go to work that day. She did not want to look at the trailer, thinking that it would be terrible, but the reality was opposite from what she expected.
The trailer was simply amazing.
If she had to give it an honest score, it would be ten out of ten.
After her initial shock, she became excited.
Although it might only be a trailer and might not completely represent the quality of the actual film, she could tell from those clips that it would definitely not be a terrible movie. In any case, it was better than what she expected.
At least it would not be a disgrace to Haotian Group.
Manager Zhuo also had the same reaction as her.
He did not manage the production crew for the past few months, and he did not bear any hope for the movie.
He could not believe what he had just seen.
“How is it? Not bad, right?” Trendy Taoist Master laughed heartily and said.
The other people in the hall, including the Taoist masters, the assistant director, and the other crew members, all laughed with joy and pride.
In the past few months, they had been keeping their heads down and working hard so that they could show the world what they could achieve!
“It’s not only ‘not bad’!” Manager Zhuo smiled drily and shook his head.
“I was impudent in the past. I didn’t realize that you were a talented person! I’m really ashamed!” He walked forward and shook Trendy Taoist Master’s hand apologetically.
“Don’t worry about it!” Trendy Taoist Master waved his hand and chuckled.
“All of you have worked hard!” Tang Hao said to the Taoist masters.
“Ha, don’t mention it! I had fun!” The Taoist masters laughed.
To them, filming a movie was a chance for them to show off.
“You’ve all worked hard too!” Tang Hao addressed the crew.
After they shook hands, Tang Hao sat in front of the computer, and with a click of the mouse, he posted the trailer on Weibo.
Everyone in the office cheered and applauded.
Someone said weakly, “Will anyone watch it? Our Weibo account only has a few hundred followers!”
The office instantly fell silent.
“Ahem!”
Then, there was an awkward cough.
Tang Hao took a closer look. Indeed, the account only had a little more than three hundred followers, and many of them were bot accounts. It was quite pathetic.
“When was it registered?” Tang Hao asked.
“Well… it’s been quite a while. The account was registered not long after the movie started production. However, no one paid attention to it,” a crew member said.
“…” Tang Hao and Trendy Taoist Master were speechless.
“Haha! That’s fine. We have money. We can buy influencers and paid commenters to advertise for us!” Liu Yan said with a smile, but her expression was awkward.
On the Internet, “Mao Mountain Taoist Master” had a bad reputation. People had labeled it as a bad movie even before the movie was filmed. No one would pay attention to their Weibo account.
“That’s true!” Tang Hao nodded.
They immediately started discussing how much money they should spend on advertising.
Meanwhile, in a university classroom somewhere in Huaxia, a male student sitting at the back was scrolling through Weibo with his head lowered.
“Tsk tsk, another divorce? It’s like there’s one every day! The entertainment industry is messy!”
He quickly scrolled through Weibo with his thumb, completely engrossed in it.
He was a veteran Weibo addict. If he did not scour Weibo for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
As he scrolled through Weibo, he was surprised by an unfamiliar Weibo name suddenly popping up on his screen.
“The official Weibo account of ‘Mao Mountain Taoist Master’? What the hell is that? Since when was I a follower?” He cursed under his breath.
He did not recall that he had followed the account.
After thinking for a while, he remembered.
“Oh, ‘Mao Mountain Taoist Master’? isn’t it that big piece of cow dung from Haotian Pictures?”
He remembered the ruckus on Weibo a few months back.
“What? The movie is done in a few months, and the trailer is out? Is that even watchable? What nonsense!”
He curled his lips contemptuously.
“I’d better unfollow this piece of sh*t!” He muttered and was about to unfollow them.
He hesitated. He was quite curious about how bad the movie might be.
Once his curiosity was aroused, he could no longer suppress it.
He hesitated for a moment, took out his earphones, and played the video.
He was stunned by the rousing music and the explosive battle scenes.
As he watched it, his mouth opened wider and wider. The shock in his heart grew to an extreme degree.
The action-packed scenes and passionate music were too impactful. It made one’s blood boil.
Eventually, he could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and exclaimed, “F*ck!”
The drab classroom was instantly alarmed by his exclamation.
Everyone turned around and looked at him in surprise.
On the podium, the teacher adjusted his glasses and looked at him. He knocked on the table and said, “Students, focus on the class. Don’t play with your phones!”
The student came to his senses and quickly sat down.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a wet dream?”
A few boys from the row in front of him turned around and teased him.
“Look at this!”
He excitedly handed his phone over.
“‘Mao Mountain Taoist Master’? What’s that? It doesn’t even have a single comment. How pathetic.”
They mumbled while playing the video.
Then, they were all shocked.
“F*ck… F*ck! This is awesome!”
“It’s so awesome!”
After watching it, they could not help but exclaim.
More people came over, and the excitement spread. Half of the classroom was in an uproar.
“Quick! Retweet it!”
They were extremely excited. They took out their phones, followed the account, and retweeted the video.
Soon, the excitement spread out of the classroom.
The retweets and comments spread like a wildfire.
