Reborn in the Millennium, What to Do When Returning to the Mountains at the Start?

Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.

After her rebirth...

Chapter 453 is his backer!

Chapter 453 is his backer!

As she uttered those three words, she suddenly looked up at Shen Xuewei and exclaimed in surprise:

"Weiwei, you've decided to adapt this novel into a film or television series?"

The role of Feng Shuang, which brought her initial fame in the entertainment industry, was created by Shen Xuewei.

After learning that Shen Xuewei was also an online writer, she made a point of reading all of Shen Xuewei's works.

This novel, "The Immortal's Tale," is an ensemble fantasy story. Perhaps because I was so immersed in it, when I read to the end and only the female lead was left alive, I cried so much that I wanted to send Shen Xuewei a knife.

A group of spirited people eventually scattered, and the words they didn't have time to say became a complete regret.

She saw Shen Xuewei several times afterward and wanted to beg her to give them a better ending.

However, Shen Xuewei was not in a good state at that time, and her mood was obviously low. Compared to the virtual character, she did not want to make Shen Xuewei's mood even lower at this time.

After Shen Xuewei calmed down, Xu Yue thought about the matter again, but the novel had already been completed for more than half a year.

She reread the novel and suddenly felt that the tragic ending was already predetermined and there was no need to change it.

After signing with Tide Media, Shen Xuewei told her that she would consider adapting her works into film and television when the time was right.

Clearly, with a good start, Shen Xuewei turned her thoughts into action.

Seeing her joyful expression, Shen Xuewei smiled and said:

"Yes, it's going to be adapted into a film or television series. I told you before that if this novel is adapted into a film or television series, I'll let you play the female lead."

When Shen Xuewei first started writing this novel, she based the female protagonist's appearance on Xu Yue.

Therefore, choosing her as the female lead meant that she was a perfect match in terms of appearance.

"Once you finish filming this drama, you'll be joining the production team for post-production work, and you won't need to look at any other scripts for the time being."

"However, I have to tell you first that there are a lot of fight scenes in this movie, so you all need to learn the fight scenes from the martial arts director in advance. It's best not to use stunt doubles if you can avoid it."

This is Shen Xuewei's own novel, and she is also the main investor in this drama, so she has a great deal of say in it.

She spent several years revising the novel for film and television adaptations on her own whenever she had free time.

The novel adaptation has been completed for almost three years, but it has just been sitting in the office collecting dust.

Even though more than one film and television company wanted to buy the copyright during this period, she never considered selling it.

She now owns a large amount of assets, and even if she does nothing, she will have a steady stream of money coming in every day.

She was happy to invite a group of handsome men and beautiful women to film a movie, just for the sake of her own dream.

Besides, it's not like you can't make money this way. Didn't you make money in the previous game, "On the Thorns"?

Xu Yue was naturally happy that she was finally cast in the role she had long wanted to play.

But then she asked:

"Has the director been decided yet?"

Shen Xuewei nodded. "It's settled. The director is someone you've worked with before, Xiang Guoping."

"It's him."

Overall, the collaboration between Xu Yue and Xiang Guoping was quite pleasant.

Of course, just as I had actually met the director, he was too mild-mannered... and the actors could easily get over his head.

When filming "A Story with You," if it weren't for screenwriter Yu Minghua being on set the whole time, and her husband, who owns a Muay Thai gym, always by Xiang Guoping's side, no actor would have dared to cause trouble.

It should be noted that the male lead, who had a past with you, was a rising star heavily promoted by a certain company.

When she joined the crew, she not only brought two assistants, but also a screenwriter.

Before the director could even speak, Yu Minghua gave an order, and her muscular husband, arms crossed and silent, appeared beside the male lead and kicked the chair next to him away.

After the demonstration, the male lead didn't dare utter a single word on set.

He acted exactly as the director told him to, and even when he was "cut" dozens of times because he didn't perform well, he didn't dare to show any displeasure.

To be honest, this was the most enjoyable and smooth collaboration that Xiang Guoping has directed in recent years.

So much so that on the day filming wrapped, he was reluctant to let Yu Minghua and his wife leave, and he really wanted to take them with him wherever he went to film in the future.

These two people are his backers!

When there is no interference, the play directed by Xiang Guoping is indeed good.

However, the problem is that if he were to direct the film "The Legend of Immortality," the investment in this kind of fantasy drama would be much larger than that of "With You," and the actors he would work with would be even bigger names.

Yu Minghua and his wife would not follow him to the film crew again, so where could Xiang Guoping find someone who was both tough and hard-hearted to follow him to the film crew?

“…Weiwei, I’m not saying the guide is bad, it’s just that his temper makes him easy to upset, and it can also affect the filming of the movie…”

Shen Xuewei knew what she was thinking, adjusted herself to a more comfortable position, and then spoke.

"I won't be mistreated, and it won't affect the filming. This time, I will join the crew with him."

Xu Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You money-making maniac, do you really have that much time to stay on set all the time?"

"You have so many companies. What if one of them has an important matter and needs you to resolve or discuss it?"

Shen Xuewei rolled her eyes at her. "Have you ever heard of something called remote work?"

"Besides, I paid them such high salaries, and I even gave some of them shares. If they can't even handle this little thing, what use are they to me?"

Shen Xuewei no longer interferes in the company's daily affairs. Which person she promotes would want to be demoted? How can they gain a foothold without some ability?

These companies are large enough that they already have a well-established operating process.

Shen Xuewei has been letting go for quite some time now, and there haven't been any major problems. All we need to do is report the company's situation to her periodically.

Shen Xuewei has been busy for so long just to allow herself some free time, to focus on the upcoming film, and to enjoy life.

In this state, she naturally had time to stay with the film crew and watch them film.

Upon hearing that Shen Xuewei would be accompanying the film crew, Xu Yue was no longer worried.

Despite Shen Xuewei's smiling face, once she's made up her mind, no one can change it.

Moreover, she is both the screenwriter and the investor, and she has the most say in the production team. Who would dare to step on her head?

Shen Xuewei glanced at the night outside. "It's so dark. Let's go back to the hotel first. Get some rest tonight; you have filming tomorrow."

"Okay, whatever you say."

After confirming that Xu Yue had been cast as the female lead in the company's fantasy drama, Ying Song smiled so broadly that his teeth couldn't be hidden behind his lips.

Upon hearing this, he quickly stopped grinning foolishly, told his assistant to pack their things, and the group headed out.

An actor dressed in ancient costume and wearing a mask stood outside. When he saw the group come out, he quickly greeted Xu Yue.

"Hello, Sister Xu."

Xu Yue replied politely, "Yes, hello to you too. The filming is finished for today, so hurry home and don't catch a cold."

"Okay, thank you for the milk tea today, Sister Xu."

Xu Yue and her group had already walked away and ignored him.
