Showbiz: You’re Making a Sci-Fi Film, So Why Are the Props Real?

Some say Cheng Fei is a mad director, a fanatic for practical effects. Others say it's a waste for him to be a director.

After all, when making Ex Machina, he actually built a beautiful robot: Yaoji.

After Iron Man premiered, the Eagle Sauce started wondering if Cheng Fei wasn't a filmmaker at all, but someone working in the defense industry.

The Rabbit hurried out to dispel the rumors: "It's fake, all fake! Cheng Fei is just a filmmaker. What would he know about cutting-edge technology? The Nantianmen Project is nothing but an entertainment IP. Eagle Sauce, don't take it seriously!"

At the annual entertainment gala:

Host: "Director Cheng, why do you insist on using practical effects in every one of your productions?"

Cheng Fei: "Because special effects are too expensive."

Host: "I hear your next film is going to be The Wandering Earth. Surely you'll use special effects this time?"

Cheng Fei: "..."

Host: "You will use special effects... right?"

Eagle Sauce: "Rabbit, get out here and dispel the rumors already!!!"
