Chapter 25: Audition for Your Highness the Monster! This is the smell of burning money!

In the dimly lit living room, the ending song had already started playing on the TV. The girl Xiaoxiao snuggled in her mother's arms, crying until her voice was hoarse.

She asked her mother with tears in her eyes whether her father would not come back like Jamila, and whether Jamila's family would be very sad too.

In the empty room, Xiaoxiao's crying and questioning echoed for a long time.

Xiaoxiao's mother sat stiffly on the sofa. The only thing she could do was to hug her daughter tightly and give her a little sense of security.

Xiaoxiao was obviously completely immersed in the sadness of Jamila's story, and even forgot the gift she had agreed with Shen Ming.

So when the ending song finished playing, instead of the usual advertisement, a piece of text appeared, Xiaoxiao was stunned.

The TV screen read: "This is a last message from astronaut Jamila to his family at the last moment of his life."

A recording then plays quietly.

"Looking out from where I am, it's like a universe dotted with fireflies. It's so beautiful. I really want you to see it too."

"This may be my last message. I don't know what will happen next. I'm sorry, my family."

"Xiaoxiao, I hope you can hear these words when you grow up. I think you will understand me."

At this point, the voice in the recording suddenly became intermittent, as if breathing had become difficult, but he still forced himself to continue leaving behind the last few words.

"I don't want to leave you and mom either."

"I really want to see you again and say... I love you"

When Xiaoxiao's mother came to her senses, the recording had already ended, and her vision was a little blurry for some reason. She raised her hand and wiped it, and her hand was cold.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao tried clumsily to wipe her mother dry, when the doorbell suddenly rang.

The mother and daughter, who were stuck together, went to open the door together. Outside the door, there were several familiar faces. They were all wearing police uniforms. They stood straight and greeted them with a smile.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoxiao."

"You're one year older now. What's your wish, Xiaoxiao?"

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to see the little bunny cake your uncle bought for you?"

"."

Everyone celebrated Xiaoxiao's birthday with great enthusiasm. The cold house was lit up by the lively crowd, and also lit up Xiaoxiao's mother's eyes, which were still filled with tears.

Now, she can finally answer Xiaoxiao.

Her father, her husband, has not been forgotten.

Although he is gone, there will always be people who remember him and everything he has given.

So, he still lives in their hearts!

While Jamila's story in the 23rd episode brought relief to Xiaoxiao's family, the blatant irony in this episode also caused an uproar on the Internet.

This is simply stepping on the political bottom line and going too far!
Many big Vs on major platforms took the opportunity to gain traffic, asserting that director Shen Ming openly mocked international peace and that his drama was not far from being banned.

At this critical juncture, the marketing account "Juanzi, who watches TV series" that had previously collaborated with Shen Ming stood up.

#Ultraman#Jamila#Human nature is sometimes more difficult to look at than the glaring light.

A post with the above title immediately left those pessimists speechless.

"Everyone is saying that the show Ultraman won't last long. I want to ask you, have you got the prophet's card? A film or TV show that is just about expressing your own opinions has scared you all?" "The show Ultraman, whether it is the script or the shooting angle, is groundbreaking. Please prepare your ears, Juanzi's class is about to start."

"All the popular TV series on the market are using camera rotation, shaking, tilting and other techniques to guide the audience's emotions. This is the simplest camera language and the most superficial. There is no technical skill involved."

"But do you know what the real camera language is? It is to use lighting, props and other external objects to present the character's settings and psychological state, for example! The dispute between Team Yinchu and Team Kurt in the Jamila episode."

“The entire dispute took place under the harsh floodlights, with the headquarters commissioner’s face completely hidden in darkness, while the rest of the Kote team members were half-lit and half-dark, symbolizing their inner struggles.”

"Only Tian Jin firmly denied the decision to hurt Jamila. He faced the glaring light. At that moment, his back was so great in front of me, just like an omniscient and omnipotent god."

"Before this, Director Shen's portrayal of Team Member Tian Jin was not even as good as Team Member Yin Chu's. He looked like a tool who could only transform, but in this episode his image is simply brilliant!"

"This kind of development of camera language should be a model for the film and television industry to learn from. If such a work is to be rejected simply because it satirizes the cruelty of reality, it will be a cold winter for the film and television industry."

"If that's the case, then I can only say that Director Shen is the prophet. After all, human nature is much harder to look at than a glaring searchlight."

"."

By the time Shen Ming saw the video from the marketing account "Juanzi, who watches TV series", it was already the next day.

Looking at the rising popularity of the comment section, Shen Ming suddenly had an idea.

So that afternoon, the official Weibo account of the Ultraman crew, which had been registered for a long time, released its first Weibo post:

"The Ultraman crew will be casting a young actor to play the role of the Monster Prince. Anyone under ten years old can participate. Hope you can support us."

The marketing account "Juanzi, who watches TV series" subsequently reposted the video, and the attention it received instantly skyrocketed.

Joanna, who is in charge of operating the crew's Weibo account, is so busy looking at the soaring number of fans and red dots for private messages that she wishes she had two more hands.

While registering the applicants, she chattered with Shen Ming who was drawing the design next to her.

"Director Shen, why do we have to hold auditions?"

"It's not that I dislike children, it's just that children under ten are too disobedient. It's easy for naughty children to break the props."

"I know a lot of child actors at the movie studio, and their performances are much more stable than theirs."

Seeing that Shen Ming had been ignoring her, Joanna went over to him angrily, wanting to scare him, but she accidentally saw the design draft drawn by Shen Ming and was immediately attracted to him.

"Pfft, what a cute monster! Is this the protagonist of our photoshoot next week?"

Shen Ming took off the earphones and asked in confusion: "You think this monster is cute? I clearly drew it to look ferocious."

Joanna stared at the design draft carefully for a while and gave the same answer.

Shen Ming then drew the tail on the drawing a little longer, hoping to enhance the monster Gomora's abilities.

Seeing Shen Ming put away the design draft and prepare to leave, Joanna chased him and repeated the same question. Her perseverance made Shen Ming look at her with admiration.

"You ask why we have auditions? Because funds are limited, we don't have the funds to hire child stars yet." Shen Ming said slowly.

Joanna's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother, you are lying! Last time I heard everyone say that you allocated 5 million for the two episodes this week! 5 million! It's enough to buy a lot of me."

Shen Ming was amused by her analogy. "Then you have to keep your eyes open and watch carefully during this shoot, otherwise you will miss many scenes where you are destroyed."

When Joanna heard this, she sensed a hint of money-burning in Shen Ming's words.
