Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 486 - 485 Accelerate

This recognition from Jiang Cheng filled the young director with motivation and a resolution to make an outstanding film to repay Jiang Cheng's kindness in discovering his talent.

When the director started the preparation work, he was overwhelmed by the huge budget.

A full 1 billion yuan movie budget, leaving him unsure of how to spend it.

Usually, directors worry about insufficient movie funds, but only this director worries about having too much money.

Moreover, he knew that the 1 billion was solely for shooting and did not include any special effects and post-production promotional expenses.

With this money, he could realize all his ideas without ever lacking the funding to create his desired work.

Jiang Cheng also instructed him to spend boldly without thinking about saving money, saying if the funds were insufficient, he could ask for more.

Such a tremendous level of support made the young director prepare confidently and boldly.

He planned to invite the best actors in the country, needing all those who were most famous.

Even for supporting roles, he would have seasoned veteran actors with exquisite performances, preparing a full all-star cast lineup.

Not only were his plans for actors lavish, but also the costumes, props, and other items he meticulously prepared.

For the costumes used in the performance alone, he intended to invite renowned domestic designers to create every exquisite garment to appear in the film.

In terms of scenes, a large number of personnel were dispatched for inspections across various places domestically.

He aimed to find the most beautiful environments to recreate the novel's majestic mountains and rivers.

The director prepared to perfect every detail, pursuing perfection to the point of being overly meticulous.

However, such pursuit is necessary to make a good film; only by wholeheartedly filming can an excellent work be achieved.

He wanted this film to become an eternal classic and leave a profound mark in the history of cinema.

Whether such ambition can ultimately be realized depends on the final result after the film's release.

After deciding on the film's director, Jiang Cheng busied himself with his own matters.

He entrusted all the filming-related affairs to the young director.

Regarding actor selection and storyline progression, Jiang Cheng let the director make all the decisions without any interference.

At most, he dispatched a few financial personnel to follow up for financial management within the crew.

Since Jiang Cheng chose to trust the director, naturally he would let him handle everything.

In terms of movie shooting, Jiang Cheng did not understand, so he wouldn't express his opinion or interfere in the director's filming matters.

In fields he hasn't ventured into, Jiang Cheng never liked to meddle; he believes professional tasks should be done by professionals.

Jiang Cheng would not pretend to understand what he doesn't know; in this aspect, he is considered the best movie investor.

In the Flame Country's film industry, directors' authorities are far lesser compared to their overseas counterparts.

They often have to contend with interference from investors, who generally like to meddle arbitrarily, acting in a manner of outsiders leading insiders.

Needless to mention, those actors forcibly added by investors, a situation faced by all directors in the Flame Country.

The young director now felt he was the luckiest person, having encountered a boss willing to invest heavily in filming a movie.

And this boss never involved himself in filming matters, allowing him to decide the filming independently.

During the shooting process, Jiang Cheng wasn't concerned, only needing to wait for its completion and hand the raw materials over to Lucy for post-production effects.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was occupied with laboratory matters, and after a long period of renovation, it was nearing the final stages. The laboratory's underground was transformed into a huge basement, which would become the location for the future installation of a nuclear fusion reactor.

The future energy supply for the laboratory would depend on the reactor, though currently, controlled nuclear fusion work isn't completed by Jiang Cheng.

These remain future matters, and the laboratory now still requires external power.

Overall, most of the engineering work is complete, and soon Jiang Cheng will be able to use this newly personal laboratory.

Though it is imminent, Jiang Cheng remains onsite.

Since the laboratory renovation was complete, what remained was the installation and debugging of experimental equipment and instruments.

These equipment installations couldn't be taken lightly.

Their precision during installation is crucial; even a slight operational mistake might affect the eventual equipment use.

For precise experiments, even the smallest influence can result in tremendous differences in experimental outcomes.

Also, since Jiang Cheng will use these himself, he had to adjust the equipment perfectly according to his usage habits.

These past days, Jiang Cheng has been at the lab construction site, instructing workers on machine installations.

Constantly, trucks drove into the industrial park, directly into the lab construction site, unloading the equipment they carried.

The recently transported machines varied greatly in size, each requiring different installation precautions.

Since these devices needed specialized installation and debugging methods, none could interchange.

If someone else handled installation and debugging, merely distinguishing among different machines would be challenging, let alone being clear on specific installation methods.

Thus, Jiang Cheng has been extremely occupied, overseeing the installation and debugging of all machines.

He needed to watch over the workers constantly, lest any problem arises causing trouble.

These days indeed have been tiring for Jiang Cheng, with little sleep and all other time spent onsite at the laboratory. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Though it's been arduous, Jiang Cheng found it worthwhile given he would use the lab for a long time, dedicating himself for future research ease.

Moreover, witnessing the gradual completion of his laboratory is immensely gratifying for a research enthusiast like Jiang Cheng.

Possessing such a laboratory is the stuff of dreams for many.

Jiang Cheng now owns a fully personal high-end laboratory, a stroke of fortune touting him above many scientists.

Many of Jiang Cheng's peers still have to share laboratory usage rights with others.

Time slowly passed, accelerating the construction progress of the laboratory.

Various machines for different purposes were installed internally within the lab, as the formerly expansive lab space started being occupied by equipment.
