—

An investment this massive, auditions this detailed, scripts this carefully refined — every single step polishing the final product.

Casting, script, costumes, props, set design, even stunt training — every item showed how seriously Sang Zong was taking The Demolition Office.

And on top of all that, sparing no expense to bring in Yao Yingbo — !

In Chihong Chen's eyes, this crew was a full hexagon. Great director, great actors, great staff, great scriptwriter — ahem.

All top-tier!

Sang Zong had already walked ninety-nine steps. As an actor, all you had to do was take one step — show up and perform — and it'd be perfect.

But in a once-in-a-lifetime crew like this, would anyone really be satisfied with just one step?

Xuan Leron grabbed both armrests: 'Sang Zong's career map is definitely huge! The Demolition Office hasn't even started filming and the buzz is already this high!'

Sang Zong had laid such a solid foundation — if they couldn't keep up with the expectations and momentum that came with it, they'd just be dead weight.

Ouyang Changyi listened with a stunned expression, then let out a breath. 'Even though Sang Zong handles everything, I can't just sit around waiting to be fed. I'll give it everything I've got going forward. Let's work together and try not to let Sang Zong down.'

Give two hundred percent on set, hustle hard on promo when it airs — all in.

Xuan Leron felt it too — he'd caught a great tailwind onto this ship, the future was wide open, and he absolutely would not be dead weight.

'Same. I have to give Sang Zong's career map a strong start. Gotta make Sang Zong feel it was worth it.'

And if that happened, Domestic Entertainment would only keep getting better work.

An actor nailing a role, a script telling a story well, a crew delivering a finished product — the difficulty scales up at every level.

But for most people, even the first two steps are hell mode.

A Demolition Office Is Not Ordinary — with Sang Zong leading the way, this was a golden shot at actually changing things.

·

For Sang Yu, making The Demolition Office had zero goals like 'saving Domestic Entertainment' or 'letting good coins drive out bad.'

Where did that kind of grand meaning come from?

Whether Domestic Entertainment was a mess or not — it was already rotten to the core — didn't really affect her, so whatever. Sang Yu didn't know why she wasn't more bothered; she just genuinely felt it had nothing to do with her.

The reason she started making a drama in the first place was pure petty spite — a way to 'get back at' that fan circle that had been trash-talking her.

That celebrity — right, Huang Yunwen — Sang Yu had a great memory when it came to grudges.

Then she found The Demolition Office purely because she wanted to make something she'd actually enjoy watching.

If you're making something to please yourself, shouldn't it meet your own standards — something that feels good to watch, something satisfying? Otherwise what's the point?

But other people didn't see it that way.

The next time Sang Yu visited the set after a while away, the vibe felt weirdly off.

Was everyone running on pure adrenaline?

Could feel the hype, couldn't explain the hype .jpg

Anyway, that was all future stuff. As for right now — might as well find something to kill time.

At the start of next month, The Demolition Office's production schedule smoothly hit its next milestone: it was time to start filming.

The crew, just like Wangsan Shi, was waiting for Sang Zong to have a free moment to attend the filming launch ceremony.

[Garden Group | The Demolition Office has started filming — set leaks are here, what does everyone think?]

————

[OP]

rt.

Feeling like Pork Rong's outfit is kinda slay

[Floor 2]

?

Walked in and got hit with a thunderbolt quote

[Floor 3]

OP's not lying, it really is slay (complimentary)..

[Floor 5]

They're filming this? Isn't it an urban supernatural fantasy? They've got him looking like a long-legged, slim-waisted secret agent

[Floor 7]

That uniform is actually really nice, art department ate

[Floor 10]

The crew was clowning on the art department for hiring random college students before — now they're hyping them up again?

[Floor 14]

Because it genuinely slaps... the art department is huge, right? Costumes, sets, props — there's a whole team. Who even knows which section that girl was responsible for

[Floor 21]

Omg, Pork Rong's physique could literally carry a tokusatsu show,

[Floor 28]

They started filming already?

[Floor 31]

Modern dramas don't need that long to prep. I saw the filing — three months of shooting, short cycle too, so couldn't it air by year-end?

[Floor 36]

Year-end?

That's a head-on clash with Stormy Night?!

[Floor 41]

Stop making me laugh — Stormy Night is S+, and this thing, if it's even real, won't crack B+. The platform might not even buy it

[Floor 47]

Pork Rong's fans brought swine fever into this group — blowing things way out of proportion? Every other post is about his body

Already decided they're going the thirst-trap route?

[Floor 52]

Ummm, so what if they are?

[Floor 56]

Thirst-trapping requires something to thirst over

[Floor 67]

I'm actually starting to feel bad for Pork Rong — male celebs who've had their bedroom photos leaked by exes get treated like humans in this group, but Pork Rong doesn't

[Floor 69]

Swine fever carriers better not play innocent or lightning will strike them

[Floor 74]

Can't stand this label-slapping anymore — can the [Cloud] stans stop having a meltdown every time someone compliments Pork Rong? Maybe they're just telling the truth?

[Floor 77]

Not allowed to compliment him, that's so controlling. ?

I looked at the butt, gave two sentences of feedback, sis is so generous!

[Floor 78]

I'm done... hahaha...

[Floor 85]

Normally novel fans lose their spoiler powers once a drama starts filming, but I think I remember a bit —

That uniform should be the Demolition Office work outfit, and that fitted piece underneath — which underworld character wears that? I forgot. It's given to the main character as a magical soft armor,

[Floor 91]

Omg, one set leak on Douyin already has over 300k likes

[Floor 92]

Horniness is truly the number one productive force of our era...

[Floor 94]

At this rate it might hit a million

[Floor 96]

I saw a high-quality one — it's ship content. The female lead glances at Pork Rong's chest, then quietly pulls her own collar lower. The female lead couldn't hold it together, laughing while pulling it back up for him

[Floor 101]

Selling it THAT hard?!

[Floor 107]

The industrial sweetener smell is hitting

[Floor 111]

I watched it, and honestly the manufactured vibe isn't that strong — that easy familiarity between them and the way they're both cracking up together is actually really shippable...

Not 'performing fun' at all, just genuinely having fun

[Floor 120]

Okay now I actually watched it, who's the female lead

[Floor 131]

Some under-the-radar girl from Huajing Entertainment, has a pretty distinctive double-barreled surname — Ouyang Changyi

[Floor 137]

The female lead's figure is great too, the two leads standing together is a treat for my eyes.

[Floor 142]

I compared it to earlier posts from the group — the costume looks like that fan-art design from before. The original design was solid, clearly they spent money on it

[Floor 148]

Haven't read the source novel in like a hundred years and barely remember the plot, but just looking at the two leads they really do fit...

Every time I see some skinny, dead-eyed actress or actor (I get filming is exhausting, but looking like you're clocking in during every scene is genuinely immersion-breaking) trying to do fight scenes, I can't even roast them — feels like their arm's about to snap

[Floor 150]

Who are you subtweeting? Acting is an actor's job. Do you actually want female actresses to build muscle? They won't fit into gowns anymore — what about commercial value then

[Floor 154]

?

Feeling personally attacked? So why take strong female roles? Got a system strapped to you that says you'll die if you don't play xx?

Novel fans already have it rough — actors ruin the source material, and now the fan circles won't even accept criticism?

[Floor 156]

Stop playing innocent — isn't this forum also a fan circle?! Everyone's got an agenda!

[Floor 163]

Okay stop fighting!

...

[Floor 168]

Both leads' costumes clearly had money put into them — this crew is way more legit than I imagined,

[Floor 170]

You can tell the costume quality just from the set leaks. Really impressive — that Sang Zong definitely doesn't mind spending

[Floor 173]

Not legit? They hired Yao Yingbo. ?

[Floor 179]

Such a waste to just watch and move on... if you're rich, instead of investing in a low-return drama like this, why not put the money into Stormy Night

[Floor 183]

Now you're admitting that whoever it is has money?

[Floor 190]

Nobody ever denied it!

[Floor 196]

?

Wasn't everyone saying that account was a new marketing tactic? Am I losing my mind?

[Floor 201]

Do what you want — the scholars will come defend me

...

[Floor 464]

Omg, they're online

[Floor 475]

?

[Floor 479]

Thought it was gonna set off another fan war — turns out they just posted 'so bored, need something to do,'

[Floor 482]

Bored? Send me some money then!

[Floor 487]

I hate rich people — got time to be bored, got time to be bored but won't go get a job

[Floor 512]

Forget it, I'm going to pitch myself!!!!!

[Floor 536]

Pitch what?

[Floor 542]

Pitch myself, pitch my art, pitch my comics, pitch my studio — what if they notice me,

[Floor 551]

Novel fan raising my hand — the author's gotta eat too, and honestly selling the rights to this Sang Zong beats selling them to some capital that'll turn it into a girlboss rewrite or a male-lead power fantasy by a factor of ten thousand...!
