In the entertainment industry, I only like making movies.

Chapter 47 New Script Finished [Please Read and Vote!]

.....

Damn it... here we go again.

That pancake, he's really good at throwing it.

Fang Yi outwardly appeared expectant, but inwardly he was filled with disgust and disgust.

They're all foxes from the same mountain, everyone knows who they are. You might as well just agree to give him more shares in Huayi.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will do my best."

Fang Yi clasped his hands in thanks and prepared to take his leave.

Uncle Long will be there soon. The following conversation is confidential, so he can't stay any longer.

"Director Fang, why don't you sit a little longer?"

Just as he stood up, Wang Zhongjun stopped him: "Brother Jackie Chan is coming soon, let's get to know each other."

"Alright, I've long admired you, Big Brother." Fang Yi nodded and sat down.

Just then, he needed Uncle Long's help with something.

A moment later, loud laughter came from outside the gate.

Jackie Chan, a world-renowned action superstar and the undisputed leader of the Chinese entertainment industry, appeared before the two men dressed in a Tang suit.

3 PM.

Fang Yi left Hua Yi and went straight home.

When Jackie Chan arrived, he took the initiative to greet him, and the group chatted for a long time in Wang Zhongjun's office.

Jackie Chan is very talkative and has very unique insights into movies. When he heard that his second movie was an action and crime film, his eyes revealed a kind of inexplicable expectation and hope.

Fang Yi quickly stopped talking about desire, not because he was afraid that Uncle Long would overhear his idea.

He was afraid that he might have bad intentions and want Uncle Jackie to star in his next film.

I'm so excited to think that Jackie Chan will be the lead actor in a new movie.

It wasn't until the topic of "The Forbidden Kingdom" came up that he made an excuse to leave, asking Uncle Jackie Chan to help him order two high-end wire harnesses overseas before he left.

Uncle Long readily agreed, saying the goods would arrive in about 20 days.

.......

Back at his little apartment near Beijing Film Academy, Fang Yi made himself a bottle of iced cola and went to his bedroom to turn on his second internet-connected computer.

Ouch...

The cool cola went down his throat, making him let out a satisfying sigh.

Next, he will go into seclusion to create and thoroughly refine the script for his new film.

The second film was extraordinary for him, even more important than the first one, "Phone Booth".

If "Phone Booth" was the key that opened the door to the world of film for him, then his second film was one of the cornerstones that laid the foundation for his future status in the film industry.

If you don't shoot, you don't shoot at all; but if you do, it has to be amazing.

Fang Yi has big ambitions and believes that he should achieve three goals after the release of the second film.

First: the old rule, use small investments to achieve big returns and generate high box office revenue.

Second: Export copyrights to foreign countries and continue to earn US dollars from foreigners.

Third: The plot is not complicated, the filming difficulty is not high, and it fits the creative ideas of a young director.

After much deliberation and comprehensive evaluation,

Fang Yi decided to bring the French film "Taken," which was released in 2008 in his previous life, to the big screen ahead of schedule.

This film has four core labels.

[A prime example of high returns with low cost].

[A Hardcore Secret Service Agent Father]

Clean and crisp combat maneuvers

[A classic one-line line]

以3500万到4000万美刀的製作成本，在全球创下2.26亿美刀票房的惊人成绩，票房回报率高达6--9倍。

The film's simple and straightforward plot, devoid of any cultural differences, makes it a near-perfect match for the mainland Chinese market.

Regardless of how you look at it, Taken is a film worth making.

……

A moment later, the sound of typing could be heard from the bedroom.

[Hurricane Rescue]

An extremely simple, efficient, and exhilarating revenge story.

Original: After retiring, former CIA agent Brian Mills tries to mend his estranged relationship with his daughter, Kim.

His daughter was granted permission to vacation in Paris with her friends, but within hours of arriving in the unfamiliar city he had warned her about, she was kidnapped by a transnational human trafficking group.

The moment Brian heard on the phone that his daughter had been kidnapped, he gave the kidnappers a warning that would go down in film history.

Then, within 96 hours, he single-handedly dismantled an entire Parisian criminal network before his daughter was sold into the underworld.

Simple, direct, and incredibly satisfying!

"The movie is very exciting, but you can't just copy it exactly. You have to take into account the current filming conditions."

"Simply saving the daughter shows a weak father-daughter bond. You could add the wife too. If the wife and child were kidnapped together, even a saint would go on a killing spree, let alone a man."

"In addition, this time we can't just let Huayi invest; we need to bring in two more big players."

"China Film Group counts as one, and as for the other one..."

"Wait a minute, the more I read this script, the more suitable it seems for Uncle Jackie to play the role."

Fang Yi muttered to himself as he wrote the plot.

Having an ice-cold cola every now and then, staying home in seclusion is so comfortable.

......

Time flies, and before we know it, it's late July.

July is a crucial battleground for the summer movie season.

Aside from "Phone Booth," which snatched a large share of the box office revenue by releasing early in June, several other films have generated considerable buzz and box office success.

The first one is naturally "Initial D," and its popularity continued throughout July after its release on June 23.

The film has grossed nearly 5000 million yuan at the box office in mainland China and is about to be taken off the screens, but it has lost 1300 million yuan compared to the previous film.

The second highly anticipated film, *Seven Swords*

It will be released three days later, on July 29.

Directed by martial arts film master Tsui Hark, and featuring stars such as Lai Ming, Donnie Yen, Sun Honglei, and Yang Caini, this martial arts epic boasts an investment of HK$1.4 million.

While writing the script, Fang Yi took a break to surf the internet and was deeply impressed by the popularity and powerful promotion of "Seven Swords".

The mere gimmick of "Xu Ke's return to the world of martial arts" has attracted countless netizens and movie fans to look forward to it.

The massive publicity campaign completely overshadowed the other two Hollywood films.

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith], [Batman Begins]

The former is a Hollywood A-list blockbuster, released globally on July 8th.

Thanks to the charm of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, one of the world's most watched on-screen couples, and the gossip surrounding their "off-screen romance," it garnered extraordinary attention in mainland China.

Less than 20 days after its release, "Smith & Fry" grossed 5200 million yuan at the Chinese box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing Hollywood films of the year.

The latter, Batman Begins, chose to be released on the same day as Seven Swords.

Two movies, ready for a showdown, a clash of titans.

Online, the media fanned the flames, promoting the debate over whether foreign Batman was more powerful or domestic swordsman was superior.

Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the news.

They're all bastards!

Impressive, awesome, it's more like a contest to see who's the biggest loser.

.......

7 month 27 day.

Fang Yi arrived at Huayi Office Building with the script for "Taken".

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Li Bingbing in a white dress and her sister Li Xue walking out of the gate, chatting and laughing.

"Hey... isn't this Director Fang?"

"I've missed you so much, it's been so long!"

Li Bingbing's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, grinning as he extended his palm.

Fang Yi reached out and touched them, looking at the two of them and saying, "Sister Bingbing, you seem quite relaxed. Where are you going?"

"Sigh...where else can I go? I'm not involved in any of the company's projects, so I have to crawl around looking for food."

Li Bingbing feigned sorrow, appearing heartbroken and pitiful.

The casting for "The Banquet" had already ended, and she didn't get a single role; Zhou Xun, who had returned to Huayi Brothers, snatched away an important part of the project.

The lead role of Empress Wan was even taken by Zhang Ziyi, their biggest rival among all the actresses.

Not only her, but Hua Yi's other Bingbing has also been sighing and fuming these days.

It feels like my period hasn't ended yet; I feel uncomfortable all over.

Fang Yi shrugged, giving a helpless look.

He can't help with this.

Seeing that Li Bingbing still had something to say, he turned and left, leaving behind a single sentence with a smile.

"Good things come to those who wait, Sister Bingbing, there's no rush."
