I Told You to Be a Director, Not to Make a Terrible Movie, Niu Lai'a

[Making movies, not singing + lighthearted]

Ling Tian transmigrates to a parallel world and discovers that its entertainment industry has developed very differently from the one in his previous life. He figures he can become a plagiarist and reach the pinnacle of life, but at that very moment, he gets bound to the [Infuriating Entertainment System].

Ling Tian: "A Popularity Entertainment System? Not bad. I've read novels like this. I just need to put out entertainment works to earn popularity points, then get better works in return and keep moving upward!"

System: "Host, I'm an Infuriating Entertainment System, not a Popularity Entertainment System!"

Ling Tian: "..."

He opens the beginner's gift pack and gets all the production files for the movie Bull Comes. With nothing to lose, he contacts an old friend and releases it in theaters.

Unexpectedly, it becomes famous because people can't stop trashing it!

Ling Tian also earns a huge amount of infuriation points and gets a new movie, Zootopia.

Ling Tian soon figures out how the System works: once he earns enough infuriation points, it rewards him with a profitable box-office hit.

First, he makes Atlantic Rim, infuriating a huge swath of viewers. Then he makes Pacific Rim, winning both box office and acclaim.

First, Sharknado, then Jaws...

First, Transmorphers, then Transformers...

Years later, audiences sum up Director Ling like this: "Director Ling has real talent, but he likes to reward himself!"

"After every hit, Ling Tian likes to make a terrible movie to reward himself!"

Ling Tian thinks to himself: You've got the order backwards! I have to make a terrible movie first to get a good one!
