Chapter 55: Film Series

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Its a good script.

The storyline was packed with content. There were also grand spectacles of street racing, pursuit, and melee combat.

The female protagonist was quite a brilliant character.

Xue Yu had to play two different characters on his own. One of them was a hypocrite who looked impartial but was actually someone who could do anything to gain fame and glory, including destroying his own brother.

The other was forced to be a dead man without any identity because of his brother. In the end, he could only become a thief. However, he was a thief that contributed to society.

It would be a wonderful film if the actors acted remarkably.

This film is still unnamed. The shooting should start next year. The female protagonists ending is an open one. The company plans to make it into a film series.

He Wei said to Yun Xiangxiang, I hope that you can take the whole series.

There was a meaning behind a series of films. It meant that it wasnt as simple as a single masterpiece.

Yun Xiang roughly looked through the scenes of the film. It was absolutely a high-end big production. It wouldnt lose out to any Hollywood movie series if it was done well.

It was true that the female protagonist went into the flames. However, nobody could say for sure whether she died.

This was also a stroke of brilliance from the screenwriter. Changing protagonists was a big no-no for a film series. The female protagonist would die if she did poorly in the first film.

The male protagonist could change to another place in the second film where he could meet new partners or a female confidant.

If the actress did spectacularly in the first film and was acknowledged by the audience along with the male protagonist, then it would work better in raising the box office for the second film.

I will not make any mistakes. Yun Xiangxiang was full of confidence. She was fired up by the script.

This theme was actually quite popular a few years back. For some unknown reason, however, everyone seemed to forget this theme in recent years.

It could be a mystery; a thriller; a comedy. It was a very flexible theme.

Perhaps it was because there were a lot of classics. It was hard not to be accused of being a copy of the classics if it was done. That was why people were afraid to make these kind of films.

Even so, Yun Xiangxiang was still optimistic.

Um, Brother Wei. Yun Xiangxiang glanced at Xue Yu who was playing games at the side, Is it confirmed that the female protagonist and the male protagonist are father and daughter?

Tiantian lost her father since she was little. She was craving for paternal love. Even if she took care of her grandmother since a young age, she still hoped to receive fatherly care somewhere deep in her heart. That was why Lu Rong compromised her with pampering, love, and attentive care.

Ahem He Wei choked on his own saliva.

He Wei glared at him briefly before saying to Yun Xiangxiang, The first film is just testing the waters. Everything depends on the reception of the first film.

Yun Xiangxiang nodded in understanding. Everything depends on the audience. She understood that.

At any rate, Tiantian actually had some kind of expectation. It was because she received paternal love from Lu Rong. Coincidentally, Lu Rong was also a thief, just like her father.

She expected her father to also be someone as respectable as Lu Rong. That was why she sided with Lu Rong and preventing him from turning to what her father became.

However, the relationship between Tiantian and Lu Rong in the second and third film was absolutely negotiable.

No matter father and daughter; best partners; flirtationship; even becoming lovers. It was all possible.

As long as Yun Xiangxiang took the character of Tiantian and kept her alive, then Tiantian would forever be the main female protagonist for this film series.

The benefits wouldnt be restricted to the male and female protagonists if this series succeeded. Lots of people would be clamoring for a spot in the series. It was little wonder why the company valued this script so much.

He Wei wanted her to figure the script out herself in her own time. That was why he let her see it beforehand. She would have more ideas and a more ideal presentation of the character when the time to fight for it came.

Your competition is very fierce. We will shoot for international talents. The company intends to choose young actresses from foreign countries to raise their international clout.

He Wei said to Yun Xiangxiang sternly, Your competitors will include those who the foreign distributors and the investors that have high hopes on. I can only give you a chance to compete for it. Whether you can make it to the next step is all on you.

When will the filming start? Yun Xiangxiang hoped to know the specific time of it.

Definitely impossible in this year.

The company only purchased the rights for the script. Everything else was a blank aside from Xue Yu being confirmed as the male protagonist.

The company was still discussing about their cooperation with foreign companies. There was also controversy over who would be the director. However, it was either the nations top director or a famous director from foreign countries. Of course the company hoped that they could hire a foreign director.

Their international clout would be sufficient this way. It would be more advantageous to Yun Xiangxiang too. However, the dynamics of interest were very volatile. He couldnt know how things would play out specifically, given the current situation.

Then what kind of preparation should I do? Yun Xiangxiang enquired seriously.

I have it all arranged for you. You have the basics in dancing. Even if it is a bit late to learn some boxing right now, it isnt impossible. Youll have to get your driving license. Work hard in your studies. He Wei exhorted, Take one more film this year at most.

Okay. Yun Xiangxiang looked like she would follow whatever He Wei said.

Lots of people thought that He Wei was quite authoritarian and not easy to get along with. They were of the impression that being He Weis actor or actress meant that they were his puppets.

Yun Xiangxiang was enjoying this state. Everything was arranged by someone else. As long as she did not have too many ideas and trusted him completely, it was actually easier than banging her head on the wall and getting herself bloodied.

I understand a little of why hes treating you better than he treats me. Xue Yu rubbed his chin.

Because she was obedient.

Which newcomer didnt want to do their best to climb the ladder like Yun Xiangxiang? They would work for the whole year if they could. They would produce new works and raise their level of fame continuously.

The wouldnt be able to endure and learn all sorts of skills for half a year just for a character they might not be able to get.

He went into arguments with He Wei about the lack of jobs when he was younger.

He Wei had just entered Huan Yu Century Entertainment then. The company gave him four actors. Xue Yu was one of them. However, he was the only one that followed He Wei until today. The others only followed him for two years at most. They requested a change of agent after their big break.

Nobody realized that He Wei was He Zhens nephew at that time. He Weis identity was only made known after Xue Yu became the pride of Huan Yu Century Entertainment. The other three could only bow to him when they saw him now.

I have always been a well-behaved girl. Yun Xiangxiang immediately switched into a lovely pose.

She looked absolutely adorable. He Wei couldnt help but smile a little. He looked at his watch, Its almost time. Lets go and meet Qiao Guan. We might as well have a meal together while we are at it.

Qiao Guan was a wealth management expert. He was also He Weis classmate. He was also managing Xue Yus money currently. There was no point in finding another person to do the same thing. He Wei trusted Qiao Guans ability. Naturally he let him manage Yun Xiangxiangs pitiful sum of assets.
