On the day that ‘The Ant Queen 2’s’ filming finally wrapped up, not only did the cast and crew celebrate, there was also one man that was particularly happy – Elder Nangong.
For him, this meant he was one step closer to executing his plan.
But, originally, ‘Parasite’ should have already started screening by now if the old man didn’t keep delaying its release, so the marketing they did early on was completely put to waste. By delaying the film, Springfall did not grab onto the hype and other film agencies quickly grabbed onto the opportunity instead.
The popularity of ‘The Ant Queen’ brought the potential of sci-fi to everyone’s attention, and everyone wanted to grab a slice of this cake. As a result, sci-fi was expected to undergo a boom in the following 2-3 years.
The staff at Springfall were really unhappy with Elder Nangong. After all, they had put in so much effort to produce the film and even snatched Tangning’s post production team, but now, everything had gone to waste.
Every few days, the agency’s staff would gather to complain and vent.
During this time, Bai Junye heard the most complaints.
As the director of ‘Parasite’, he wasn’t as angry as some other people, but he definitely felt it was a shame that the film ended up this way. Whether it was production or post production, ‘Parasite’ had the most potential to go up against ‘The Ant Queen’, but Elder Nangong had now turned it into a tool for revenge.
Bai Junye went from being an arthouse director to a sci-fi director, hoping to someday hold his head high, but he still didn’t see any hope in sight.
Did he have to go back to his days of slitting his wrists to be finally set free?
Thinking about his past, Bai Junye realized how ridiculous he had been. For some reason, he now felt that it was more meaningful to continue living. At least, he had now paid off all his debts by agreeing to direct this film and he was officially debt-free.
So, he packed his things and went to look for a particular person…
…
Tangning was surprised when she saw Bai Junye return to her territory. Previously, she had tried so hard to hire him, but he refused to help. As a result, she ended up working with Qiao Man.
“What? Am I not welcome here?”
“I’m just a little surprised.” Tangning welcomed him, of course. “I thought you looked down on my team.”
“No one in Beijing would dare to look down on your team,” Bai Junye laughed. “I don’t need to be paid a lot. I just need enough to eat and stay warm and I’ll be satisfied.”
“If you’re not here for fame and fortune, then why are you here?” Tangning felt this guy was extremely strange.
But, to her surprise, Bai Junye shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Who knows? Perhaps it’s because your team feels warm and gives people a reason to continue living.”
Tangning didn’t understand how much Bai Junye needed the strength to continue living, but she still agreed to let him stay. She even arranged for him to assist Qiao Man.
Bai Junye did not put up a front just because he was a senior in the field, and Qiao Man did not dislike Bai Junye just because he came from the enemy camp.
There were no restrictions to art; Qiao Man understood this well.
Besides, she was well aware that Bai Junye was an extremely talented person!
…
After filming for ‘The Ant Queen 2’ was completed, post-production also commenced at a quick speed. As a team of non-specialist experts, the rascals in Starshine were obsessed with this new challenge, just as Tangning predicted. In fact, they were obsessed to an unimaginable level.
