Chapter 11: How Ultraman's Strongest Special Move Was Created
In the conference room of Star TV.

Everyone stared at Xiao Chen, feeling both excited and afraid of the ratings report in his hand.

Chu Tai took the report and his brows suddenly frowned, as if he was very conflicted.

At this time, Xiao Chen, who had already caught his breath, reported to everyone: "The live broadcast rooms on Weibo and Douyin platforms have good interactivity, but the popularity is only 2,000, not even as good as ordinary bloggers."

Hearing this, the eyes of the people in the Starry Sky Platform dimmed, and the expectant light in the eyes of Shen Ming and the other two slowly faded.

Even a wonderful work like "Ultraman" cannot reverse their predicament. Is this their destined ending?

Unexpectedly, Chu Tai, who had been silent nearby, suddenly laughed.

His laughter gradually became cheerful and bold, echoing in the conference room.

Now, even Shen Ming, who was standing next to him, was a little confused.

“It’s broken!! It’s finally broken!!”

Amid everyone's puzzled looks, Chu Tai shouted loudly.

Then, he handed the report in his hand to Shen Ming to read, "The first broadcast ratings were 1.01%!! This is really the best result our Star TV has achieved in recent years!! Shen Ming, on behalf of the entire TV station, I thank you."

Star Channel has been on a downward trend, with its ratings hovering around 0.2 in the past two years.

As soon as Shen Ming's Ultraman was broadcast, the ratings increased tenfold! !

Chu Guoming was so excited that he almost cried. He held Shen Ming's hand tightly.

Without Shen Ming, they would probably have really disbanded now.
Shen Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the 1.01% viewership rating. It was finally a good start.

With this good news, the conference room that had been deserted for several months finally became popular, and everyone at the TV station contributed a lot of snacks for celebration.

When everyone was immersed in the happy atmosphere, Shen Ming was quietly called to the window in the corner by Chu Guoming.

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

The world that has not yet completely entered darkness is gray, like the screen on a black and white TV.

Chu Guoming held a cigarette in his mouth and looked outside quietly.

Shen Ming stood nearby, watching the darkness deepen little by little.

After an unknown amount of silence, Chu Guoming's cigarette burned his mouth, and he whispered, "Shen Ming, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have much money left."

Chu Guoming's tone was very light, but it was not a question, but an affirmation.

Shen Ming was not panicked at all, he just said "hmm" lightly.

Seeing Shen Ming's attitude, Chu Guoming's anxious heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Shen Ming has obviously noticed the funding problem, and there is a high possibility that he has already thought of a solution.

But he thought too much.

Chu Guoming was just about to encourage Shen Ming when the sudden ringing of a cell phone interrupted them. Chu Guoming waved his hand to signal him to do as he pleased, and turned around to join the celebration.

When Shen Ming answered the phone, his eardrums were immediately struck violently by Xiao Hai.

"Brother Ming!! You are my God!! I love you so much!!"

Shen Ming held the phone a little further away and rejected him expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business." "Oh, yes, get down to business. Business means we are here to do business! Just now several bosses said they wanted to sign orders, and they are all long-term large orders. One order is worth 30 million, 30 million!!"

Xiao Hai has been in business for quite some time, but this is the first time he has received such a big order. He was so excited that he felt like flying into space.

Shen Ming was also cheered up when he heard that he had received an order worth 30 million.

He quickly calculated in his mind that after deducting the production and transportation costs, the amount of dividends he could get would be at least 10 million per order!

In this way, the crew's capital chain can operate stably for a long time in the future.

Shen Ming took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then reminded Xiao Hai: "Don't be too eager to accept orders. We must control it within our production quota. If possible, expand appropriately. Don't be impatient."

Xiao Hai agreed immediately, "Brother Ming, don't worry. I only care about one word when it comes to business: stability! I understand the principle of losing the big by being greedy for small gains, and I know my limits."

That night, there were several more zeros on Shen Ming's bank card.

The next day, Shen Ming arrived at the set early.

The actors were first paid weekly wages, and then the script was distributed to everyone, ready to start filming.

Just when everyone was busy making preparations, Ultraman's skin actor Gumin came to Shen Ming.

"Director Shen, I saw that the Spacium ray was not used in the latest episode. Does this move only appear once?" Gu Min asked, pointing at his action storyboard.

Shen Ming was surprised at Gu Min's sharp mind. Most of the actors in the crew just followed the action instructions because filming consumes a lot of energy and they have no time to pay attention to other things.

But this Gumin is very different.

"No, quite the opposite." Shen Ming explained to him patiently, "I want to design it into Ultraman's strongest ultimate move, and I will use it every time I fight monsters in the future."

Gu Min nodded in understanding and left.

So from that day on, Shen Ming would always see Gu Min practicing the Spacium light posture in the corner when he had no scenes to act. Sometimes he would ask someone to help him correct it, and sometimes he would practice in front of the mirror.

Sometimes, Shen Ming would explain to him the hand movements, such as not covering the face and having to look handsome, and even the strength of tensing the fingertips was very particular.

After he had practiced the standing posture, Shen Ming taught him how to perform the moves more smoothly after rolling over. For this reason, his clothes were clean every time he walked in and dirty every time he walked out.

The serious look on Shen Ming and Gu Min's faces as they practiced over and over again was seen by Joanna who came to visit them.

Joanna came to visit her father Qiao Jin at work, but from the moment she walked into the crew door, her big, round eyes were glued to Shen Ming and never left.

She couldn't help but be infatuated with him. Brother Shen looked so handsome when he was working seriously.

Letting my dad play the leading role of Senior Brother Shen was definitely the right decision!
Qiao Jin couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw his daughter being infatuated with him.

But there is no doubt about Shen Ming's excellence. If his peers had such talent, they would have been proud of themselves long ago. Shen Ming's steadiness and calmness are most valuable.

"Nana, don't be obsessed with others all the time. Learn from them." Qiao Jin taught his daughter at the right time, "Don't you want to act in Director Shen's play? Then you have to study hard. Excellent people will only see people who are as excellent as themselves."

Joanna waved her hand perfunctorily at her father. "As for studying, I can learn the most on the set. And I haven't missed any classes! The teacher praised me!"

Joanna naturally understood her father's intention, but since they were both students, wouldn't it be better to ask the seniors for advice at close range?

While the father and daughter were chatting, Joanna glanced at them and saw something, but she burst out laughing.

"What kind of monster is that leather suit? It looks so funny."
