Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 538 - 540 Smart Camera

Qin Hao looked at Zhao Yuying's expression and asked, "What's going on? Is he still coming or not? If not, tell him to get lost as soon as possible."

The people nearby heard this and were full of frustration—Mr. Qin's temper was quite big indeed.

Nowadays, which big-name star doesn't throw their weight around? When making a film, you have to beg them, and there's nothing you can do about their diva behavior.

Zhao Yuying coughed lightly and said, "You're a public figure after all; it won't look good for your reputation if word gets out."

"What are you saying?"

Zhao Yuying replied, "Speaking of which, he's probably trying to raise his price."

Qin Hao's brows furrowed, "Raise his price now? Wasn't everything agreed upon at the start?"

Zhao Yuying explained, "It was agreed upon at first, but this is a common tactic for many; because everything else is ready and we can't film without him, we have no choice but to pay up."

Qin Hao asked, "What about that female supporting lead? What's her name and where has she gone off to?"

Zhao Yuying spoke, "The female supporting lead is Wu Sinuo. She agreed to come only after the male lead, Yang Feng, confirmed his participation. She also has quite a following in the entertainment industry, belonging to the top-tier popular stars. If Yang Feng doesn't show up, she probably won't either."

By 8:30, the person still hadn't arrived, and the others were also becoming impatient, their gazes increasingly turning this way.

Qin Hao was even more impatient inside. He took Zhao Yuying's phone and then called Yang Feng.

The call was quickly connected, with Yang Feng's agent picking up as usual.

Qin Hao directly said, "Let Yang Feng take the call."

"Who is this?" The person asked curiously, not recognizing the voice as Zhao Yuying's.

Qin Hao said, "My name is Qin Hao. I'm the boss of Yuhao Media."

The person paused for a second, and after a few seconds a male voice came through, "Mr. Qin, hello."

Qin Hao said, "You don't need to come anymore. And that Wu Sinuo can go stay wherever the hell she wants, acting all high and mighty and bringing it to my door."

After finishing, Qin Hao hung up the phone, "Do we have alternative choices for the male lead and female supporting lead?"

Zhao Yuying answered, "We don't, but I think you'd fit the role of the male lead quite well. Why not give it a try? Finding someone else might take days of negotiation, and if they know we're in a rush, they might ask for even more."

Seeing the smile at the corner of her mouth, Qin Hao felt like he was being played, "Ying, isn't this something you set up, aiming to have me play the male lead?"

"How could that be? Am I that bad?" Zhao Yuying looked at him discontentedly.

Qin Hao followed up, "What about the female supporting lead?"

With a frown, Zhao Yuying said, "The female supporting lead needs to be sweet and pure-looking; it's not easy to find."

An idea flashed through Qin Hao's mind, "I actually have someone in mind, but I'm not sure if she's available."

"Who?" Zhao Yuying looked at him curiously.

The more Qin Hao thought about it, the more suitable it seemed. He took out his phone and called Xia Qing.

The call connected quickly, and Xia Qing's pleasant voice came through, "What's up, Qin Hao?"

Qin Hao asked, "Xiaoqing, are you busy right now?"

Xia Qing answered, "Not busy. The school is almost on break, and some people have already gone home."

Qin Hao inquired, "Are you interested in filming a movie? We hit a snag and need a female supporting lead."

"Filming a movie? You're making a movie?" Xia Qing expressed her surprise.

Qin Hao chuckled, "Yeah, I had some free time these days, and the film company just happens to need help."

Xia Qing sounded unsure, "Can I do it? I've never acted in a movie before."

Qin Hao said with a smile, "Xiaoqing, come over and give it a try if you're free."

Xia Qing agreed, "Alright then, just tell me the address and I'll head over."

After hanging up, Zhao Yuying looked at him with an annoyed expression. "Your little lover?"

Qin Hao coughed, "Ying, I was on the phone with the big brother from Xinghai Company."

After finishing his sentence, he made a call to He Tingting. He remembered the lab was researching many products, and it seemed there was a smart movie camera among them.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Qin Hao asked, "Hello, Mr. He, does the lab have a smart movie camera?"

He Tingting replied, "Yes, after the high-level intelligent surveillance was researched, Mr. Liu and his team developed a smart camera. However, it's not widely used, and it's a bit costly—not like household appliances and computers and such."

Qin Hao's face lit up with joy, "Just send that stuff over to me, and also send twenty AI robots, have 001 lead them."

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll arrange it right away."

It was just past nine in the morning when Xia Qing almost arrived with the people from Xinghai Company.

The 001s had come by the company shuttle bus.

The employees of Yuhao Media Company widened their eyes when they saw these robots.

001 walked in the front, carrying two smart movie cameras on his shoulder, with nearly twenty AI robots following grandly behind him.

"Wow, is that the 001 from the videos? It looks so cool."

"So smart, it's just like the future intelligent robots from a sci-fi blockbuster."

"This is the AI robot that sells for five million Federation dollars?"

The place instantly bubbled with excitement. Almost everyone was watching the 001s. Even though they had seen them in videos, the shock of seeing them in reality was still profound, and the visual impact was intense.

001 placed the cameras on the ground. "Master, this is the smart movie camera Mr. He asked me to bring you. Are you making a movie, Master? Can you give me a role? Hehe."

Xia Qing looked at 001 with a stunned expression. This thing was too intelligent, right? It was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.

Qin Hao said, "I called you here to make a movie, get ready, we'll start filming in ten minutes."

Everyone was already prepared. Qin Hao checked the smart movie camera. It was an intelligent camera that could freely move and adjust its height.

He uploaded the script into it, and the camera would then be able to shoot autonomously according to the script, eliminating the need for director's control and even post-production editing and dubbing. The smart camera could handle everything on its own.

"The filming is about to start; everyone, please get ready," suddenly a voice came from inside the smart camera.

Everyone was startled and looked towards the speaking smart camera. Was that machine really speaking?

Smart camera: "What are you dazing for? Get ready to shoot."

The group snapped out of it, open-mouthed. Damn, it really was the camera speaking!!

"Xiao Hao, hasn't this camera become sentient?" Zhao Yuying was shocked. They could understand AI robots talking, but this damn camera could talk too?

Qin Hao explained, "It's a simple principle. If you install the voice mechanism in any smart device, it can converse with people, like household appliances, phones, computers, and so on."

Xia Qing swallowed hard, "Isn't this a bit terrifying?"

...

A few minutes later, filming started. The initial scene was of 001 and the group of robots working at the space station.

They didn't have an actual space station, which would need to be created later with special effects software.

Smart camera: "001, you're supposed to be working, not posing. What the heck are you doing?"

001: "Screw you, I've been carrying you all this way, and now you're talking back to me? Believe it or not, after we finish filming, I'll tear you apart."

"Brother 001, I was just joking with you. Your pose is not bad, really cool. It's sure to attract countless beautiful women."
