I Made Modern Times, and They Said I Was Satirizing Capitalism

Ye Leng transmigrates and awakens the Silent Film System. He can only earn rewards by making silent films.

So Ye Leng makes Modern Times, but online viewers mistake it for a revolutionary film criticizing capital, one that tears off capitalism's fig leaf. It causes a sensation and sparks a wave of moviegoing,

while the capitalists strike back one after another, naming Ye Leng their number-one enemy and boycotting his filmmaking.

After that, Ye Leng spends a week making a short film, and mobile combination homes become all the rage. Housing prices nearly buckle, leaving property speculators in tears...

With the release of The Balloon Seller, a fitness craze sweeps the entire era.

"Don't ask me why I work out. I just want to become that man in the movie, swift as the wind!"

"Ye Leng's movies have an incredible charm. They've made people who are always glued to their phones look up at the sky again~"

"Though he makes silent films, it's no exaggeration to say his movies have transcended cinema itself. Their significance is simply immense~"
