I Told You to Make a Web Movie, So Why Did the Audience End Up in the ICU?

[Film and Television Production]+ [Harvesting Emotions]+ [Subverting Expectations]+ [Emotionally Wrecking the Audience]

Chen Ye transmigrates to a parallel world, inherits a film company on the brink of bankruptcy, and awakens the [Emotional Box Office System].

The more the audience cries, curses, and keeps thinking about a film afterward, the higher its box-office conversion rate.

And so...

Scene One: The company is making a low-budget streaming movie called A Day at the Office. Chen Ye rewrites the script around the life of an overworked office drone.

After the male lead dies from working overtime, he becomes the boss's dog, getting walked every day. Somehow, he ends up living a pretty good life.

Scene Two: They make a feel-good urban fantasy called The City's Greatest Tycoon. The male lead uses his tycoon System to slap faces left and right, and the audience loves it.

Then a hidden rule pops up: Every ten thousand yuan he spends takes a day off his mother's life.

By then, the male lead has already spent over a hundred million yuan, costing his mother the equivalent of forty years of her life.

On her deathbed, his mother lies in the hospital and says, “Mom doesn't blame you. I'm just afraid there won't be anyone to cook for you anymore.”

Scene Three: They make a sci-fi thriller called 365 Days of Redemption. The male lead is trapped in the same day, and every day his son dies in a car accident.

He tries 365 different ways to save his son, and the audience thinks it's a story about a father's boundless love.

Until his final attempt succeeds. His son survives, but looks at him and says, “Dad, you were the one who hit me with the car that day, weren't you?”

It turns out that day, the male lead drove drunk, ran a red light, hit and killed his son, then fled the scene.

My name is Zhao Ming. I invested in Chen Ye's film company, thinking it was a front for laundering money through terrible movies.

Now the pharmacy downstairs from my office has sold out of its emergency heart pills. How am I supposed to explain this to the audience?

Anyone there? It's urgent.
