Zhou Rong exclaimed in surprise: "Are you crazy? You're not going to find the script and screenwriter yourself for the next movie, and film everything yourself, are you?"

"Avoid dealing with people in the industry?"

Yin Tian: "And what about the actors? You can't just use all newcomers every time!"

"If we do that, no one will come for the next one."

"Also, you can't expect all your future projects to remain unreleased forever! Your distribution channels will be gone if that happens!"

Thus, Liu Yun entered the entertainment industry, yet it was as if she hadn't, and she would be restricted in many ways.

Liu Yun raised an eyebrow: "It doesn't matter, we'll see when the time comes."

Song Xingfei was so moved that her eyes sparkled: "Xiao Yunyun, you are so wonderful. I really believe that you can do a good job in this drama. This will probably be our spiritual nourishment for the next ten years... no, the next twenty years."

"It's all up to you, Xiao Yunyun..."

Liu Yun slapped Song Xingfei's hand away: "Disgusting! If you call me Xiao Yunyun again, go slap yourself."

After the playful banter, Song Xingfei generously treated everyone to a hot pot meal.

During the meal, Song Xingfei directly called the author over.

Surprisingly, right here in the capital city, there was a petite, adorable girl, only 1.55 meters tall.

Feifei was very excited and didn't have high expectations of Liu Yun. She was relieved when someone took the director's job and they were so easy to talk to.

He handed the script directly to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun: "...So finding a director is your last resort?"

Fei Fei smiled and said, "I actually started writing this script a few years ago. When I sold the adaptation rights to my first novel, I still had high hopes that the production team would do a good job filming it."

"It would be even better if it could be filmed according to my script."

"After that, I kept making changes. I changed a lot of the storylines that were not suitable for filming. At that time, I still hoped that it would be broadcast!"

"Sigh... This industry was originally fine, but it was ruined by those capitalists, which led to its complete ban."

The more she talked, the more heartbroken she became, and Feifei was filled with regret.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "Who can blame us when these kinds of dramas generate so much traffic? The capital has gone crazy."

"It's understandable, really. Everyone's rushing to adapt BL novels for the sake of traffic. There aren't many that are actually made well. In the end, there might be a bunch of shoddy productions. To be honest, it would be better not to promote them at all."

Fei Fei: "Yeah, so I've only written three BL novels in my life. The ones I wrote later, the ones with male and female leads... were filmed like a pile of shit. I don't even want to watch them."

That's not my child.

Song Xingfei commented: "It's precisely because the romantic relationships between men and women are portrayed so poorly that everyone finds the few remaining BL adaptations so appealing."

"The traffic will come naturally."

"Xiaoyun, when are the casting calls?"

"Actually, I'm basically all ready. We're just waiting for the director to be in place so we can start filming. Fei Fei and I have also gone to scout out the actors and selected some as backups. We can start filming as soon as we set the time."

Zhou Rong and Yin Tian stopped eating, they had never seen it happen so fast.

Liu Yun: "...Have you found an assistant director? You even have an executive director?"

"Martial arts instructor, props and costumes over there..."

Song Xingfei: "Everything is really ready, which is why I said that I've been preparing for this production for a year, and we're going to film it no matter what."

"The clothes have already been specially made to fit the physique of a 1.88-meter male model. After the role is selected, minor adjustments will be made."

"The assistant director and executive director have been contacted. Everything is ready. We just need your order. We guarantee that everyone will be in place within a week."

Liu Yun gave Song Xingfei a thumbs up: "Great! Let's go for the audition tomorrow and decide on the male lead and other important roles first."

The four people: "..."

That's great, the efficiency is quite amazing.

Zhou Rong and Yin Tian exchanged a glance and chuckled awkwardly.

"This film crew is so energetic!"

"Yes, yes, it's different from any of the film crews I've been to before."

Fei Fei couldn't help but lean over: "Director Liu, Director Liu, what about me?"

Upon hearing this title, Liu Yun's smile widened: "As the only screenwriter in the crew, you'll be on set the whole time. Your fee will be calculated according to industry standards."

Even so, the cost of screenwriting won't be too high, since there's only one screenwriter.

Normally, the screenwriters for a production costing tens of millions of yuan are all from the same team.

After dinner, Liu Yun borrowed Song Xingfei's car and moved her belongings from the school dormitory to the rented apartment.

While watching dramas and gossiping that evening, Song Xingfei called with unusual excitement: "Xiaoyun, that cup of yours... is there only one?"

"The appraiser said that normally it should be a set! Is it the Four Gentlemen?"

Liu Yun looked at them and said, "There are no more sets left, only two, and one with a plum blossom design."

It's only because it's not a complete set that it's being sold.

A matching set would be too eye-catching.

Little Tongzi: ...Wasn't it during the Yunzhao Dynasty that the young emperor threw them twice, and the host was quick-witted and rescued them?

Wow, I can't believe they can make use of waste like this!

Song Xingfei's voice betrayed her regret: "Let's sell the other one too. It's been appraised and said to be from the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty. The carving is also top-notch for our time. This one is worth three million, so both of them would be ten million."

"It's a pity. If it were a set of four, it would probably cost over thirty million. If you add the wine pot, it could cost over a hundred million!"

Liu Yun grimaced, her teeth aching terribly. That's what you call a spendthrift!

"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow. Pay me back after you sell it."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yun instructed, "Xiao Tongzi, once you receive the money, file the taxes immediately."
