Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...
Chen Chen raised an eyebrow. "Old Fu, now you can relax. How does it feel to have gotten your revenge?"
Fu Ming's eyes were still slightly bloodshot. "Old Chen, I tossed and turned all night after I got back. I never thought that the once arrogant Sun Hai would end up like this. I really want to buy a truckload of firecrackers to celebrate. I hope that bastard goes in there and never comes out again."
Fang Yang and Chen Chen exchanged a smile. Looking at Fu Ming, it was clear that he had felt relieved after the mountain that had been pressing down on him had been removed. They might not have noticed it before, but now that he was free from all his burdens and no longer felt any repression, his entire state of mind had probably been elevated.
"Director Fu, what's past is past, there's no need to keep dwelling on it. It's not that justice might be delayed, but it will eventually come. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't come yet! Just think of the past as a trial, and now that the trial is over, your life is just beginning."
Fu Ming said with relief, "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I won't say much more. Just give me more scripts to film in the future, and I'll make sure they're handled perfectly for you."
Fang Yang's face darkened. Here we go again. This guy seems to want to be filming all year round. Didn't he see that Wang Jialiang has been resting for more than half a year since he finished filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? He's not in a hurry at all. Who knows where he's traveling right now?
"It's almost Chinese New Year, let's talk about it after the New Year."
Fang Yang waved his hand, wanting nothing more than to get rid of Fu Ming as soon as possible. He had no sense of propriety at all, and he didn't know how Fu Ming had managed to survive until now.
After drinking tea for a while, Yang Huajin came in carrying a folder. He wasn't surprised to see the three of them chatting and laughing while drinking tea. Yang Huajin had heard about what happened last night, but he only found out about it this morning. Seeing that Fang Yang had already handled it, Yang Huajin stopped paying attention. As long as it didn't involve the company's vital interests, no matter how big the matter was, it wasn't a big deal.
"Hey, Director Fu, it's a holiday, why aren't you going home to spend time with your wife and kids? What are you doing staying at the company all the time?"
When Yang Huajin saw Fu Ming there, he couldn't help but joke. For some reason, Fu Ming and Chen Chen had been getting extremely close lately, like they were inseparable. It was really strange.
Fu Ming smiled and said, "Anyway, there's nothing to do when I go back, so I might as well stay at the company and wait until the movie is almost over before going back for the New Year."
"I heard the reviews were pretty good last night. Have the box office figures come out yet?"
Fu Ming looked at Chen Chen, as this was a question for Chen Chen to answer. Fu Ming had come over as soon as he arrived at the company and didn't know if the box office statistics for last night had been released yet.
"It won't be that fast. It'll probably be around ten o'clock before it comes out."
Chen Chen wasn't in a good mood, and he wanted to drink a couple more cups of tea, otherwise he didn't know when he would fall asleep.
Yang Huajin smiled and glanced at Chen Chen and Fu Ming, then handed the folder to Fang Yang. "Xiao Yang, take a look. This is a movie script adapted from the novel of the gold medal winner of our website's million-dollar prize at the beginning of the year. After nearly half a year, the adaptation is finally complete. I've taken a look, and the adaptation is quite good. It can be put into filming at any time."
Fang Yang took the folder, opened it, and saw that the script was called "Super Tsunami". The story tells of a powerful tsunami triggered by an earthquake off the coast of a Southeast Asian country. Zhou Qiangyong, a citizen of Xiamen, was on vacation with his wife and children when they unexpectedly encountered this once-in-a-century disaster. The story focuses on the deeds of Zhou Qiangyong's family during the disaster, realistically recreating the damage a tsunami caused to local residents.
Closing the folder, Fang Yang remembered a movie from his previous life that documented the Indonesian tsunami. It was quite successful, and its content was somewhat similar to this "Super Tsunami," but "Super Tsunami" was richer in content and had more spectacular scenes.
Indeed, a novel of several hundred thousand words is certainly different from a movie adapted from a single disaster in my previous life. And to support a novel, the detailed explanation of the events must be much more complete.
Fang Yang pressed his hand on the script, wanting to make this movie. The filming techniques and special effects involved would be demanding, and the budget would start at least at 500 million yuan, not including the cost of special effects. With the addition of publicity expenses, at least 1 billion yuan would be needed before he would have the courage to make the film.
If filming were to be done, Fang Yang hopes to use 3D techniques to realistically recreate the scenes of a disaster movie, making the scenes even more impactful.
Seeing Fu Ming's eager look, Fang Yang handed him the folder. "It's okay to take a look, but with your current skill level, you can't film it yet. This movie really tests the director's filming skills, and the whole movie needs to be filmed in 3D. You haven't learned that technique yet, have you?"
Fu Ming took the folder and looked at it for a while before swallowing hard. He then handed the folder back to Fang Yang. "Even Director Wang hasn't filmed this kind of subject matter before. I doubt he would dare to take it on. Mr. Fang, are you confident?"
Fang Yang handed the folder to Yang Huajin and instructed, "Apply for the patent first. We'll shoot it in the second half of next year. Disaster films like this require a lot of funding, and I have other plans for the first half of next year. We'll shoot this movie after we finish that. We need to negotiate a buyout agreement with the author first to avoid any trouble later."
Yang Huajin laughed and said, "When we selected this novel, we had already bought out the film and television adaptation rights, which is why we spent more than half a year adapting it."
As they were talking, Chen Chen's phone rang. After exchanging a few words, Chen Chen hung up and laughed, "The box office figures for last night's movie are in. I've already had them delivered. Let's check how the box office did last night."
