Chapter 143
Upon opening the trending topic, what greeted her eyes was a video resembling a promotional trailer.
The footage showed a valley with dense grass resembling chives, but with blue flowers blooming on top.
The mountain walls concealed rich metal minerals and jade, emitting faint light in the night.
The valley was dimly lit at night, with only clear stream water originating from this mountain and flowing slowly westward. White specks of light rose and fell with the waves in the stream.
Clearly, many special effects had been added to the footage, making the entire forest appear dreamlike and mysterious.
Wе̂ b̂ n о̌v̈ е̇ l Е̇ṅu̇ m̈a
Yao Bianliang instinctively felt this scene looked familiar, but she couldn't immediately recall where she had seen it before.
In this forest, a cloaked young woman holding a torch walked cautiously through the woods, showing only her back to the viewer.

Under the shadow of towering trees dozens of meters high, her figure appeared extremely small, like a speck of dust in the vast desert.
Everything around was very quiet, with no sound other than insects chirping.
In the forest shrouded by darkness, everything was frighteningly silent.
With a "swoosh," the camera suddenly blurred as the young woman, struck heavily, fell violently to the ground.
Е n̄ú ḿ ä . і̄d̈
The camera followed her perspective and turned, revealing a creature shaped like an ape but with a pair of white ears.
It first crawled on all fours, examining the girl, and then stood upright.
With this movement, Yao Bianliang realized this was actually a large animal standing two meters tall.
The modeling was exquisitely detailed, down to each clearly visible strand of fur. When the white ears on the giant ape's head twitched slightly, Yao Bianliang's heart skipped a beat.

In the footage, the girl finally seemed to recover from her shock. Gritting her teeth, she slammed her torch violently at the animal, then turned and ran into the deep forest.
This was an intense chase.

As the pulsating background music intensified, the camera shots continuously switched. Wind, rustling leaves, running footsteps, and panting all blended together.
Yao Bianliang watched, entranced, feeling tense along with the character's emotions in the film.
But... this plot seemed somewhat similar to the script of the film she was shooting?
Had such forest escape scenes become so common?
As Yao Bianliang pondered this, the camera revealed the girl's face—
A face she knew all too well.

Yao Bianliang: "..."
Wait, hold on.
This promotional trailer that had captivated her was actually for her own film?!
Yao Bianliang's hand trembled, nearly dropping her phone.
How was this possible?
She certainly remembered the segment she filmed—just an ordinary forest chase scene, utterly unremarkable.
Ёǹ u mа
Was there even the slightest resemblance between that and what this promotional trailer presented?
Yao Bianliang's mind was bewildered as the trailer continued.

After some time, the giant ape finally stopped pursuing, and the girl halted, panting heavily.
Without the torch, the nighttime forest was terrifyingly quiet, darkness all around.
Darkness always evokes the deepest fears, especially in this unfamiliar and perilous jungle, where darkness was like deadly poison.
Unknown, panic, helplessness, despair—various negative emotions began to spread in the darkness, heartbeats becoming increasingly audible.

Unable to see the path clearly, the girl finally stumbled and fell.
With this action, the grass parted.
She slowly raised her eyes—
The darkness receded, revealing dazzling light ahead, suddenly bright and clear.

Nearby were luminous unknown plants, fireflies hovering around, emitting a soft glow.
Further away, a babbling stream flowed, with small silver-white specks of light rising and falling with the waves.
Ẇѐ b̊ n̆ о̌ v ѐ ľ Ё ňũ m̊ ӓ
On both sides of the stream stood tall trees resembling paper mulberry, with golden light gleaming from their black patterns, brilliantly illuminating everything around and dispelling the night.
In the dark environment, the sudden appearance of light, this contrast between darkness and light, accentuated the dreamlike beauty of the entire scene to the extreme, making it impossible not to feel stunned.
The background music also changed to a light, soothing melody, and in the romantic and beautiful atmosphere, the camera slowly pulled back.
"Swoosh——"
Like a drone flying over a canyon, various scenes flashed by quickly as the camera rapidly pulled away.
On a barren mountain, a crimson beast resembling a leopard stood on a cliff, its five tails swaying slowly behind it. It raised its head and let out a long howl like rolling thunder, echoing through the valley.

In the deep sea, a creature with a fish body but bird-like wings swayed its tail. With its arrival, a tsunami rose on the sea surface. The huge wave roared forward like a whirlpool from hell, engulfing everything around.
Deep in the dense forest, a massive beast resembling a qilin stood at the mountain peak. Its body was covered in thick, dark fur, with horns on its forehead gleaming cold light in the moonlight. Its round eyes were bright and spirited, majestic and solemn, as if they could see through human deceit and goodness.

Finally, the camera quickly pulled away, flying toward the sky.
The screen darkened, with flowing embossed golden text appearing.
"Welcome to the World of Mountains and Seas"

—"Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas"
[Holy shit, this is incredible!]

[Is this Mountains and Seas? After musical films, Sister Liang is starting another...]
[These special effects are absolutely amazing, every frame could be a wallpaper. What kind of divine film is this?]
[Ahhh I'm already incredibly excited. When will the film be released? I must see it as soon as it comes out.]
The quality of the preliminary promotional trailer was so stunning that the comment section was already boiling, with danmaku completely flooded.
Ẁ е̃ bn̄ǒv е l̈ Eṅ ū m̈а̃
In recent years, most domestic films had cheap special effects, numbing everyone to such quality.
Suddenly seeing such an excellent film, how could people not be excited?
Moreover, the theme of this film was Mountains and Seas, not only with great special effects but also full of Chinese elements.
A proper Chinese blockbuster!

[The last one to appear was Xiezhi, right? Majestic and powerful, I absolutely love this modeling!]
[So exquisite, just for these special effects alone I must see it in the theater.]
Ẽnù_m̆a
[Who says our domestic films can't have good special effects? This is great, already comparable to Hollywood, right?]
In fact, some of Hollywood's special effects were also produced in China.
China had the technology and capability to complete world-class special effects.
The reason most domestic films had cheap special effects was simply due to insufficient budget. Leading stars took most of the money, and film promotion also required significant expenses, leaving little to spend on special effects.
But "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" had explosive trailer effects. Whether it was the modeling of mythical beasts or the environment of the mountain and sea world, everything perfectly matched the descriptions in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas."
This directly awakened everyone's deep-seated recognition and love for the Chinese mythological world.

More and more topics entered public view.
Even those not interested in Mountains and Seas couldn't help but look forward to this film after seeing the trailer.
Of course, in such an environment, there were also quite a few skeptics.
Ĕ n̆ ŭ m̄ ӑ.іd̆
[Dream on, this level of special effects wouldn't cost less than a billion.]
[Did the production team put all their funds into the promotional trailer? When the actual film is released, it will probably be full of cheap effects. *dog head emoji*]

[The promotional trailer looks okay, but that's about it, can't compare to the grand scenes of international blockbusters.]
These comments were mixed among the positive ones, and while not as numerous, they weren't few either.
After all, this was just a preliminary promotional trailer, produced rather hastily without careful polishing, and indeed had many issues.
However, Yao Bianliang didn't relax because of these comments; instead, she felt somewhat anxious.
W̄ е̃.ḃṅ_ӧ v́ е́l̂ Е ṅû m̌ӓ
Something wasn't right.
Just as those netizens said, the special effects were too exquisite, and with their budget, such quality effects were simply impossible.
Forcibly enhancing the special effects quality of certain shots would inevitably mean that other parts could only use cheap effects to get by.
This wouldn't benefit the film's quality!

Or were they deliberately creating beautiful promotional materials to deceive viewers, only for audiences to discover the film's quality didn't meet expectations after being lured into theaters?
Yao Bianliang couldn't figure it out.
En̆ u ṁ ã.. і̂_d
She could no longer sit still and immediately stood up, walking toward the photography studio.
Jiang Dongting had just finished his boxed meal and was scrolling through his phone when he saw Yao Bianliang approach, and quickly stood up.
"Sister Liang?"
Yao Bianliang took a deep breath and pointed at her phone screen: "That trending topic online, was it your doing?"
Jiang Dongting was taken aback, then smiled somewhat sheepishly: "I suppose so. Brother Fu and his team worked overtime and finally produced this preliminary promotional trailer today."
Yao Bianliang looked around but didn't notice Fu Yandong.

She belatedly realized that this film post-production director had left the crew at some point and hadn't appeared for several days.
So he had returned to his own studio to lead others in creating the promotional special effects?
Understanding this, Yao Bianliang almost couldn't catch her breath.
The curve of her lips became somewhat bitter: "Why didn't anyone mention making a promotional trailer to me?"
Why was she, as the film's producer and lead actress, the last to know about this?
Jiang Dongting appeared even more bewildered than Yao Bianliang.
W̊.ė b n о̌v е l̊ E n̊ǔm а
He scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly: "Sister Liang, wasn't... this your intention?"
Yao Bianliang: ??
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
When had she ever said they should make an exquisite promotional trailer? She didn't even know about it herself.
Jiang Dongting: "Sister Liang, when you deliberately said those things to Deputy President Huang, wasn't it because you felt the 20 million investment wasn't enough and hoped he would contact other investors for more funding?"
He paused, a bit embarrassed: "Deputy President Huang understood your meaning and was quite willing to help us connect with others."
"Brother Fu and I figured that since we were seeking investment, we couldn't do without a decent concept trailer, so... we created a preliminary promotional trailer."
W̄еb̂ǹ оv̌еĺ Еn̈ü m а́
Yao Bianliang: "..."
She recalled her conversation with Deputy President Huang.
She had said the funding gap was large and that a 20 million investment would be like pouring water into sand.
Those words could indeed be interpreted as her hoping the other party would invest more funds...

System: "Host, Jiang Dongting's explanation seems more logical."
After all, any normal person would want their project to receive investment.
Wẽ b̄nо̊ v e ĺ Ě n̂u m̂ а̀
Who would think in the direction of "the producer hopes the film will flop"?
It wasn't really anyone's fault there had been a misunderstanding.
Just then, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a crew member lifted the door curtain and entered.
His face was full of joy: "Director Jiang, Sister Liang, Deputy President Huang is back!"
Yao Bianliang paused, her voice containing a barely perceptible tremor: "Deputy President Huang... is back?"
The unease in her heart infinitely magnified, and Yao Bianliang felt that things were gradually exceeding her expectations, racing uncontrollably in an unwanted direction.

The crew member nodded: "That's right. Don't worry, Sister Liang, this time, Deputy President Huang has brought more than just a 20 million investment."
The film promotional trailer had trended online, with netizens discussing it extensively, naturally also catching investors' attention.
Combined with Yao Bianliang's reputation and Deputy President Huang's connections, many investors were moved.
As a result, the total investment amount had naturally increased significantly.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Yao Bianliang's vision darkened, nearly losing her balance.
Ŵ е̃b̃ṅо v́е̂ l Е̇ ňūmа̃
Indeed, she had initially successfully persuaded Deputy President Huang to withdraw by citing insufficient investment amount.
But who could have imagined...

Not only had Deputy President Huang not given up, but he had returned with an even larger group of investors!
