Chu Xiao transmigrated to a parallel world and bound himself to the [Hardcore Money-Losing System]. As long as he made a terrible movie that lost money, he'd get a hundredfold cashback!
To take a massive loss, he decided to make The Deep Sea Rescue, a disaster movie absolutely no one would watch.
How could he lose money? By doing everything backward!
No special effects, only on-location shooting! He bought a rusty fishing boat that was practically ready for the scrapyard, then insisted on taking it to sea during typhoon season in the Pacific!
No pretty young stars! He specifically recruited a group of marginalized “old, weak, sick, and disabled” people: a one-legged retired coast guard officer, an old sailor with one arm, a blind sailor with an illness…
The whole internet laughed at him: “Taking a bunch of cripples out to sea in a wreck to die? Even dogs wouldn't watch this trash!”
But during filming, a once-in-a-century super typhoon with winds reaching force fourteen erupted! Just as Chu Xiao was preparing to wrap up and take his losses, a distress call came from ahead: a luxury liner carrying a top-tier star and a nationally renowned academic had lost all power and was about to sink!
The official fleet was hundreds of nautical miles away. The only ones who could save them were Chu Xiao's livestreaming “wreck of a film crew”!
Facing the howling winds and towering waves, Chu Xiao wanted to back down, but then he saw the disabled veterans aboard staring with red-rimmed eyes.
The one-armed veteran clamped the towline between his teeth, while the one-legged older man resolutely leaped into the raging black sea…
On the liner, the usually arrogant top-tier star wet himself and scrambled for a life jacket. On the wreck of a boat, the forgotten veterans descended like sea gods and stood their ground against the typhoon!
That day, the national fleet sounded its horns across every channel in tribute! That day, a trash movie made to lose money raked in ten billion at the box office and brought the whole country to tears!
As money poured in and official commendations came his way, Chu Xiao broke down: “Please, stop praising me! I really just wanted to lose a little money!”
