Lin Xiaoxiao woke up from a hardworking office worker to a rich second generation in another world. She thought her wonderful life was about to begin.
However, before her new life arrived, it...
Lin Xiaoxiao herself went to the cinema to watch it. Even after the screen went black, she was still a little dazed. No, how did it get stuck here? They said they would leave an ending for the sequel, but she never expected the ending to be here!
She looked around and heard a series of wails. She quickly put on a mask and sunglasses, covering herself up completely, and walked out of the movie theater.
Soon after the film's release, Li Chuan called to congratulate him.
Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, and almost broke down when she saw the box office figures.
Seriously, doesn't anyone have any other movies to watch?! Can't the film industry step up their game?! This is a disaster movie with practically no plot!!! And so few special effects, don't back down!!!
The film industry: Speechless! Who can go toe-to-toe with the industry's top dog?!
After being speechless, Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that Li Chuan's older brother, Li Yishan, actually wanted to release the movie overseas.
Although she had planned ahead, it was for the sake of 5 billion, and she didn't want to seem too perfunctory.
"Mr. Lin, you're really amazing."
Lin Xiaoxiao's mood was anything but pleasant as she listened to Li Yishan's slightly teasing congratulations on the other end of the phone.
She was unhappy with herself, so she decided to postpone the opening of the fully-built amusement park.
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't been upset for more than a few days when she learned that the overseas distributor contacted by Li Yishan had rejected "Yinggu" because it was suspected of smearing Country X.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. "Your country X also makes this kind of film, so why the double standards?!"
This immediately stirred up her rebellious streak, and she directly contacted NEX, a company she had previously collaborated with.
NEX also refused. Lin Xiaoxiao sneered, "Fine, fine, so you want to play this game? There are no unsuitable products, only unsuitable prices."
"Add in the footage of the X country experiment that was previously cut."
After instructing the post-production staff, Lin Xiaoxiao quoted a package deal that NEX Company couldn't refuse. Unlike the previous profit-sharing collaborations, this was a one-off deal, and the quality of the film was guaranteed to be up to standard.
As expected, NEX immediately signed the contract. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the contract on the table, took a sip of milk tea, and thought to herself, "Really, why are they arguing with me about all this now? It's just that the price isn't right. Now, I'm offering an extra version in the hopes that they'll like it."
But even so, Lin Xiaoxiao still couldn't swallow her anger. How long had it been since she, Lin Xiaoxiao, had seen such double standards and such treatment?
She will definitely retaliate, before she could even think of a solution.
Lin Xiaoxiao overheard the gossip Lin Tianxue was spreading: many key personnel had left the He Group, some of whom had been poached.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the copy of "The Secret of Penglai Island" made by He's Group and told Feiyang Games to ignore it, but the lawsuit still had to be fought. It was a free lunch for the opponent.
It was that time of year again for the headquarters meeting, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt that her position was so prominent that there was absolutely no chance for her to lose focus!
Not to mention she's constantly being asked questions and asked to share her success stories. How can she possibly share that? She can't exactly share how to get freebies, can she?
Does Feiyang Entertainment have any war film projects planned?
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at all the eyes on her and was a little confused. "Not recently."
She noticed that several people in charge visibly relaxed.
Fortunately, Flying Entertainment doesn't have any war films coming out recently; their movies still have a while to finish.
"You can think about it some more. How many viewers like Feiyang Entertainment's war films? Don't you all agree? I'm a fan of Feiyang Entertainment too."
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little dazed. Was it going to be a war movie or not? The people in charge were in their throats again.
"Speaking of which, we should also promote it to overseas audiences."
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately thought of the recent rejection of her film for overseas release. So, they wanted her to make a war film for international screening? But those hypocritical people, even if she actually made it, it might not be released overseas.
However, after returning home, Lin Xiaoxiao still caught up on some foreign war movies. Well, the scenes looked quite grand, but it felt like a large-scale idol drama, and the relationships between the characters were particularly messy. This one with that one, that one with that one, this one with another, and many relationships that couldn't be shown. Compared to it, "Eating Melon Battle" seemed rather ordinary.
She suddenly had a brilliant idea: it's just double standards, right? As long as it's well hidden, there's no such thing as double standards. Their generation might lack imagination in this area, but their ancestors were no less imaginative! It's just melodramatic!
"The next drama will be a family drama with love and political intrigue. The political intrigue will be simple and straightforward. It will be 60 or 70 episodes, divided into 6 or 7 seasons. It will have a lot of family ethics and love scenes, plus some content about foreigners being beaten. That's about it."
These are the key points that Lin Xiaoxiao painstakingly came up with. Those foreigners can understand political intrigue, can they? They can distinguish family ethics, can they? They don't even know what love is.
That's right, Lin Xiaoxiao is planning to produce a period drama that will only be shown overseas to annoy foreign audiences. It's a hit-and-run tactic, with the main message being: if you reject my movie, I'll annoy you!
"By the way, the setting is fictional, and there is no absolute protagonist in the whole series."
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly added a patch: "Isn't individual heroism the most popular thing abroad? That's off; absolutely no individual wish-fulfillment stories. Besides, if we don't create a fictional world, those foreigners might apply double standards and just create a fictional world altogether."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Fan, the "King of Scrolls" screenwriter, in the conference room. After all, the goal was to shoot sixty or seventy episodes, which would be a long-term battle, so it was indeed necessary to have a "King of Scrolls" in charge.
She looked at Zhang Erdai, who had just returned from vacation. If period dramas and variety shows can be filled with so many melodramatic identities that could be the subject of a novel, how could family dramas be complete without Zhang Erdai!
Her gaze swept over He Yue, who was deep in thought; the elements of a romance drama were there. Then she looked at Wang Li, whose face had become rounder and whose jawline was no longer visible; he was now the one responsible for fixing the logic.
But Wang Li looks much fatter than when I first saw him! And he seems to be in much better spirits too!
You can already see the simple-mindedness on Wang Li's face, and his smile is even more endearingly simple-minded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I guarantee I will complete the task."
After hearing his reply, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy. Wasn't Wang Li always the most passive and reluctant to work? How come he had already started replying while everyone else was still thinking?!
Wang Li was very satisfied. The Feiyang Community was about to be handed over and the apartments were allocated. It couldn't be better if a big project came at this time. Maybe he could get a bigger apartment then.
The more Wang Li laughed, the more creeped out she felt. What was this kid up to?! She took a big gulp of milk tea to calm herself down.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao left, the four screenwriters started pulling their hair and frowning.
