“As soon as the man heard it, he immediately became furious, ‘What? I spent fifty million star coins just to open a resurrection round channel?? Is it a resurrection round that I wanted? What I wanted was to let that waste advance!’

The assistant was in a dilemma, ‘But this time, there’s really no way. Yan Yue didn’t get Miss Su’s work as per your instructions…’

The man was almost driven to death by anger, ‘Waste! They’re all worthless!! How did I pick someone like Yan Yue in the first place? If Su Manman really wins the competition, both you and Yan Yue will die!’

The assistant didn’t dare to respond.

After the man calmed down his anger, he slammed the water glass in his hand onto the table and glared, ‘Keep a close eye on Yan Yue for me. On the show’s side, let our people be prepared.’

The assistant replied, ‘Yes.’

The next day at 9 a.m., the official competition topic for the resurrection round was released.

In this resurrection round, after the elimination of seven people from the finals among the twelve contestants who passed the thousand-person sea selection, these seven contestants had to create a complete work within 24 hours. The length of this work was only twenty minutes.

In other words, in twenty minutes, you had to create a complete work.

Yan Yue narrowed her eyes, looking at the competition topic before her—

[Background: Interstellar.]

[Keywords: War, Hatred.]

666 hadn’t fully recovered from the excitement of coming back to life, and when it saw the topic, it eagerly asked, ‘Boss, do you have an idea of what to write? War and hatred! Simple! Didn’t we fight before? Let these novices of interstellar netizens see the charm of ancient battlefields!’

Yan Yue nodded, ‘You’re right.’

Then, she quickly linked her mind, creating—

666: [‘??? Coffee shop???’]

Ten minutes later—

A crisp slap sound was heard, followed by a woman’s harsh voice, ‘You? You’re worthy of being with my son? Here’s five million! Leave my son immediately!’

666: [‘?’]

666: [‘??????’]

Having finished the first scene, Yan Yue curved her lips, ‘Why doesn’t a mother-in-law conflict count as war?’

Chapter 3

Yan Yue had previously undertaken tasks in the interstellar world, giving her some experience with the basic settings of mechas and such in the interstellar context. Combined with the memories of the original host that had been transferred over, even if it was her first time using the creation pod, she quickly figured out how to operate it.

In this world, the so-called ‘screenwriter’ was, in reality, a conglomerate of ‘director, planner, producer, prop team, lighting artist, art director,’ and more. Here, a ‘screenwriter’ not only wrote the script but also produced the film. A ‘screenwriter’ could create a new world.

This setting would be quite challenging in an ordinary world. A single screenwriter taking on multiple roles would be nearly impossible to achieve.

However, in the interstellar world, in this age of holography, all that was needed was a neural interface, a creation pod, and psychic power ranked A or above to achieve it.

Of course, someone like Su Manman, who could use her creations to ascend from B-grade psychic power to double S-grade, was extraordinary and not recommended as a reference.

First, she needed to secure the creation process, then she would focus on the content.

Yan Yue had spent the previous afternoon roughly understanding the trends of the film and television industry in this world. According to the statistics, war-themed content was currently popular.

In the past century, the interstellar realm had been in a period of great peace. Perhaps it was too peaceful, causing the people of the stars to revere and yearn for interstellar battlefields.

On the Empire Entertainment website, interstellar war films and shows were in abundance. As long as one had psychic power at grade A or higher and could afford a creation pod, citizens of the stars with these abilities were eager to try their hand at creating in this field. However, most of these films were rough, although they met the first two criteria, creating a high-quality film wasn’t something that could be achieved with just A-grade psychic power and a creation pod.

Currently, the most popular films on the Empire Entertainment website were three. The screenwriters for these three films were: Yang Xin, a specially appointed screenwriter for Empire Entertainment; Xiao You, a participant in “Strongest Screenwriter”; and the other was the female lead, Su Manman.

Yan Yue had read the works of these three individuals. Whether it was the battle layout, character strategies, or overall perspective, they were exceptional and far surpassed others. The quality of their scripts was impeccable and would likely even win awards in the modern era. Compared to those crude scripts, their superiority was evident at a glance.

In simpler terms, if it weren’t the interstellar era of peace, these three would probably be battlefield commanders.

With these three brilliant figures around, achieving the original host’s goal of being the strongest screenwriter would naturally require diverging from similar themes. Furthermore, with someone as uniquely talented as Su Manman…

Yan Yue hardly needed to think much. She had a rough idea of the popular themes by now.
