I Have to Spend Fifty Million a Day in a County Town? I'll Build One!

After refusing a wealthy investor’s demand for sexual favors, genius director Su Mu is blacklisted by his former girlfriend, a movie star, and the industry’s biggest financiers. His reputation in tatters, he has no choice but to retreat to a poverty-stricken county in the northwest, so small it barely registers on the map! His ex calls to taunt him: “Su Mu, without me, all you’ll ever do is shovel manure in some village!” The moment she hangs up, Su Mu binds himself to the [Entertainment Empire Spendthrift System]. Ten million yuan in designated funds lands in his account every day, and he has to spend it all in this backwater county, where even getting to KFC takes an hour by car! No one will invest? Su Mu splashes two billion yuan on the project, levels an abandoned pig farm, and recreates the Epang Palace exactly as it was! No actors? He offers a hundred thousand yuan a day, and the village’s chain-smoking Second Uncle plays a crime boss so convincingly that he sweeps the international film awards! Need a leading lady? Su Mu turns to the icy beauty CFO, who’s been sent to the county to audit the books, wearing a tight skirt and high heels. “Director Shen, put on a qipao and come to my room tonight. We’ll go over the script by candlelight.” Later, Hollywood directors beg to shoot films at the village guesthouse, while international superstars plant corn by the village entrance just to land a supporting role. His ex’s blockbuster bombs at the box office, and she kneels in the muddy village street, begging him to take her back. Su Mu points toward the corner. “Go on. They still need someone to play a corpse. The pay is fifty yuan a day!”
