Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Jian Shuangshuang...

This is an investor delivered right to my door! A horror film enthusiast who loves a thrill; no matter what, you can’t turn away an investor who comes knocking.

Jian Shuangshuang immediately put on a gentle smile and said, ”Zang Xuan Doctor enjoys watching movies, that’s perfect. This horror film was actually shot quite crudely because I haven’t yet used many of the filming techniques I know.

If Zang Xuan Doctor is willing to invest, I guarantee I can produce even more exciting films—not just horror films, but all kinds of different genres.”

Jian Shuangshuang didn’t mention to Zang Lin just how much money could be made from making films. The reason is simple: Zang Lin’s investment is merely for the sake of continuing to watch films, not for profit.

This is a world without a formal entertainment industry, without a large-scale entertainment industry chain, so no one knows the immense profits brought by the entertainment industry.

Since no one knows, whatever Jian Shuangshuang says is just like painting a cake on paper to Zang Lin, meaningless because he has no concept of it in his mind.

Rather than wasting words now, it’s better to focus on making films seriously. Once results are achieved, Zang Lin will naturally understand the profit potential of films without Jian Shuangshuang needing to explain.

Indeed, Jian Shuangshuang had long considered Zang Lin, this unimaginably wealthy individual, as her exclusive investor. Although Zang Lin is a Mystic Doctor, he is backed by the largest medical cultivation family in Lin Country, the Zang Family.

Zang Lin didn’t hide this; everyone in Yan City knows Zang Lin is the Crown Prince of the Zang Family, the most treasured youngest son of the current Family Head. So although he’s only a First-Grade Xuan Doctor, no one dares to provoke him.

Zang Lin is someone who definitely isn’t short of money, and he’s quite generous in spending on things that interest him.

Initially making Zang Lin the resident doctor was unexpected, but Jian Shuangshuang indeed had the intention of letting Zang Lin watch a film. If he liked it, she could draw him in as an investor.

However, Jian Shuangshuang didn’t expect things to progress so smoothly. She didn’t even have to speak up; Zang Lin proactively expressed his desire to fund her films.

Although the Memory Stone can’t be edited and can only keep filming continuously, if assisted by an Array, it can achieve special effects that many modern filming equipment cannot.

But Arrays are an extremely costly thing. Whether it’s the special ink used to draw Arrays or the Array Pen, they are beyond Jian Shuangshuang’s current means.

However, with Zang Lin’s investment, Jian Shuangshuang can afford these. Her films wouldn’t be pitiably straining to switch even a single shot, or requiring her to use Mystic Energy to cheat by crawling on beams just to do a female ghost’s motion.

Being a friend of Chang Ge, who became a God in the Array Dao, and personally taught by them, Jian Shuangshuang is confident that while she might not master other powerful Arrays, researching a few movie editing special effect Arrays is as easy as pie.

Zang Lin was unaware of all the thoughts racing through Jian Shuangshuang’s mind. He only heard her mention there are many other types of films, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He looked at Jian Shuangshuang with a bit of anticipation and said, ”If I invest in you, could your future films not be so scary?”

Jian Shuangshuang found it amusing. So it wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid of horror films, but that entertainment was so scarce, and even though horror films were scary, the novelty of such entertainment was so unique that even though he was scared, he still loved it.

The investor is the key sponsor, the boss. As long as they don’t meddle in how she makes films, this small request can be met. Jian Shuangshuang immediately nodded, ”No problem, the next film will definitely be a comedy, guaranteed to make you happy.”

Zang Lin didn’t quite get the whole bit about shooting a comedy, but he understood the promise of happiness, meaning the next film wouldn’t be scary, which was a relief.

Truth be told, this entertainment method, where seemingly real events are played right before your eyes, intrigued Zang Lin greatly. He never liked watching plays before, finding them slow-paced and with fake scene changes; they weren’t to his taste.

But after watching a film, Zang Lin found this entertainment method incredibly fresh and fun, just a bit too frightening; if it weren’t so scary, he could watch it all day long.

Zang Lin, being decisive and efficient, directly took out a pouch and handed it to Jian Shuangshuang, appearing calm but unable to hide his excitement, ”I have a hundred Purple Gold Coins here; take them, and if they’re not enough, come find me.”

Jian Shuangshuang blinked; this person truly has a big heart, not worried about her running away with the hefty sum. Thinking this way, Jian Shuangshuang still reached out to take it, and in her mind, she was already pondering what to shoot in the next movie.

The entire day thereafter, films were continuously played in the tavern.

Everyone came in full of curiosity and excitement, then left with unsteady steps and pale faces, and then tried various ways to convince others who hadn’t seen it to go in for a fright.

Of course, some left with looks of excitement. Even if they were frightened, they weren’t scared off and returned for a second or even third viewing. There was even one particularly memorable to Jian Shuangshuang.

This person watched four screenings in a row and screamed non-stop during each one, yet after each, rewarded a Purple Gold Coin, embodying the epitome of lavishness.
