My magic weapons are all rule-based

The hall was empty, and the leaders left the Purple Sky Sword Sect in twos and threes.

Only Xu Shan and Sun Yuanzheng were left.

Sun Yuanzheng looked at Xu Shan and smiled, "Elder Xu, I didn't expect you to do so well. Now everyone recognizes you. You shouldn't have any trouble in the sect. I can gather all the disciples you need tomorrow, and then you can select them yourself."

Xu Shan nodded and smiled, "It's hard for the Sect Master to help me today. I will be responsible for selecting the actors. There are other important matters that need the Sect Master's attention."

"What are the important matters?" Sun Yuanzheng asked hurriedly.

"Originally I thought it would take two to three years to complete all the plots we needed, but the actual efficiency was much better than I expected." Xu Shan raised a finger and said, "One year, in less than a year, I can complete all the content."

"Before that, Zixiao Sword Sect must make arrangements in advance and prepare the venues where we need to show the story."

"At that time, we will also need the help of the sect master to vigorously promote and spread this matter throughout the cultivation world."

Sun Yuanzheng was a little unbelievable: "It can be completed in less than a year?"

"That's right."

Xu Shan nodded.

Indeed, he already had a complete plot in his mind, including storyboards and so on.

There were too many materials in his previous life memories for him to refer directly, and he could just shoot and connect them together.

There was no need to shoot a lot of materials like ordinary people and then fine-tune them.

Not to mention that the ability and energy of cultivators were not comparable to ordinary people.

Sun Yuanzheng was quite excited.

The sooner it was completed, the sooner he could witness the rise of Zixiao Sword Sect.

"Okay, very good! But what's the point of preparing the venue? Can't you just throw the jade slip directly into the air? We can just pick a nice location and simply decorate it."

"When the time comes, I will find a few hundred disciples and take the jade slip to various places to release it. And what does publicity mean?"

Xu Shan shook his head: "No, it is feasible to release it outdoors. But we charge a fee, what if someone hides far away and peeks! I set the price at one medium-grade spirit stone per person in the initial stage, I think... at least tens of thousands of people will come to watch it."

"Watching it once is not enough, you have to watch it a few more times, don't you think, Sect Master Sun? What if we show it outdoors, how many spirit stones will we lose?"

!?

Sun Yuanzheng shuddered when he heard it.

"Yes, yes, yes, how can they watch it for free!?"

Tens of thousands of spirit stones, if these people watch it a second time, a third time... wouldn't it be possible to earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones?

There will definitely be more people watching it later, and there is no cost...

If everything goes well, this thing is more worry-free than digging open-air spirit mines directly!

"That's right, it has to be played in the house, and there must be rules and someone to watch over it. The audience cannot cast spells and secretly leave images, otherwise the income may drop sharply." Sun Yuanzheng worried.

Oh my god, he has considered the problem of pirated recordings so quickly?

Xu Shan praised: "The sect master is wise. The first wave will be shown to the cultivators first. After the cultivators have watched it and the heat has passed, we will show it to mortals. At that time, the sect will take the opportunity to recruit disciples... What do we call this? This is called a win-win situation, winning twice!"

"As for publicity, it is actually very simple. Our move is equivalent to selling goods. Naturally, selling goods must be advertised first. After creating suspense, there will be many talents coming. The sect master can take advantage of this to spread the word a little bit now. When the time is right, I will make a promotional video for you to promote it vigorously."

"Promotional video?"

"It's just a short video, specially designed to attract people to watch."

"I see, then I understand, I will send people to do these things as soon as possible."

......

With the collective cooperation of the Zixiao Sword Sect, subsequent actions will be much more convenient.

The next morning, Sun Yuanzheng summoned all the disciples of the sect to let Xu Shan select them as actors.

Among them were monks who had participated in the Secret Realm Competition with Xu Shan.

These people looked at Xu Shan with extremely strange eyes, and they felt uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

The last time they met, they were all disciples in the Secret Realm Competition.

They were even completely hostile to each other.

This time they met again, I was still a disciple, and he became an elder.

It was fucking weird!

We are all human beings, why is my fate so ordinary...

The selection of actors was surprisingly smooth, and it took less than two days to find the right people to use.

Then it was officially entered into the intensive filming process.

As a director, Xu Shan could only travel back and forth between the two places, trying his best to perfectly splice the content produced by both sides.

A large number of special effects props were brought back to the north from the southern border, and more than fifty face-changing pills were used.

Dozens of elders from the Zixiao Sword Sect were at his disposal, and they flattened a large number of hilltops. A group of mountains a hundred miles away from the Zixiao Sword Sect had been destroyed beyond recognition.

However, those who were called upon to exert great strength had no objection.

Seeing the finished product cut by Xu Shan, they all felt quite novel, and even enjoyed it.

After all, there is no greater honor than being able to personally participate in recreating the "glory of ancestors".

After eight months of high-intensity shooting, the entire film has been completed by nearly 90%.

At the same time, undercurrents surged in the world of cultivation, and a bad wind blew from nowhere. It was rumored that the Zixiao Sword Sect had learned the answer to the mystery of the ancient catastrophe.

The Zixiao Sword Sect also showed strange actions, and disciples of the Zixiao Sword Sect appeared everywhere in the northern cultivation world.

Neither hunting monsters, nor collecting spiritual medicine, nor exploring secret ruins, but looking for people to build houses...

The shocking news and confusing behavior have caused many masters to fly to Zixiao Sword Sect to find out for themselves.

However, in the end, the elders of Zixiao Sword Sect rejected them with a sweet smile and said that they would find a suitable opportunity to make it public.

.....

In a dark room in Zixiao Sword Sect, Xu Shan leaned back in a chair.

The light and shadow kept flashing in front of him, and a promotional video with explosions, blood, suspense, and love was born in the room.

After checking it more than a dozen times to confirm that it was correct, Xu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and put away the projection jade slip.

It's OK...The promotional video has been produced.

He still needs to carefully modify the finished film and check whether there is any soundtrack used before.

There are also some sound effects that his music library cannot perfectly fit, so he has to find mortal craftsmen to dub and modify them.

One person has to be a producer, a director, and a dubbing artist...It's really a headache.

But fortunately, the hard work has paid off.

Xu Shan pushed the door open and went out, but the next moment he covered his eyes again. The sun was blazing outside and the sunlight was a little dazzling.

He had been editing the film in the dark room for more than ten days, and he was still a little uncomfortable when he came out.

After some inquiries, he went straight to the side hall where Sun Yuanzheng was.

Met Sun Yuanzheng.

Xu Shan threw the jade slip to him and said straight to the point: "Master, the promotional video has been edited. This kind of jade slip should not be difficult to make. You can find someone to make more. Now we can officially announce the news to the cultivation world."

"Three months for promotion, and we will officially start the public screening after three months!"

Sun Yuanzheng took the jade slip and couldn't help licking his lips, and said with joy: "Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away!"
