226: Chapter 226 The Alliance's First Movie Script
Yang Mi smiled and extended her right hand again, giggling, "Now you can let us see the script, right?"
Xu Jing also looked at Chen Shaoping with anticipation, her eyes shining.
This put Chen Shaoping in a difficult position; sometimes too many choices could be a problem.
"How about this, both of you tell me, what type of movie script do you need?" Chen Shaoping asked directly.
"Martial arts."
"Romance, preferably a tragic love story that isn't accepted by the world!"
Chen Shaoping chuckled, "Sister Mimi, you're so kinky, you like this kind of stuff."
"You're smiling so lewdly. It's not that I like it, it's that the market likes it," Yang Mi retorted with a displeased expression.
"Yes. But I happen to have a script that meets both your requirements," Chen Shaoping said confidently.
"Oh!"
"Let us see it quickly!"
Yang Mi and Xu Jing said in unison, their faces full of surprise.
Chen Shaoping no longer hesitated and began to recite in his mind.
"System, exchange for the script of the movie 'once upon a time in china.'"
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully exchanging the script for the movie 'once upon a time in china' for 15 paparazzi points.]
[Host has paparazzi points: 43 points.]
With a thought, the script appeared on his phone.
He immediately sent it to Yang Mi and Xu Jing.
Li Qian saw Tan Zhuo and the others out, then returned to the conference room.
She saw Yang Mi and Xu Jing engrossed in their phones, while Chen Shaoping, having nothing to do, was also browsing his phone.
"Hey!"
"What are you three doing?"
Li Qian deliberately shouted loudly, startling all three of them.
"CEO Li, what are you doing? Don't disturb me," Yang Mi complained.
Xu Jing glared at Li Qian, and though she said nothing, her meaning was clear.
Get lost!!!
Chen Shaoping was laughing so hard he couldn't close his mouth, but no sound came out.
Li Qian patted him and gestured towards the two.
"They're reading the script, don't bother them," Chen Shaoping said, grinning.
After getting the answer she wanted, Li Qian took her right hand off Chen Shaoping.
"Shouldn't you send me a copy too?"
"Right, right, sending it now," Chen Shaoping replied, sending a copy of the script to Li Qian.
"Why don't we go out first?" Li Qian suggested.
Just then, Yang Mi put down her phone and stood up, "No need, we won't finish reading this script anytime soon anyway."
"The script is out. Next, according to the agreement, Director Xu's team should provide the investment amount as soon as possible."
"But in this situation, it's not easy for everyone to communicate about matters."
"I suggest we create a work group, with one core member from each company joining to facilitate communication."
"Good!" Chen Shaoping thought it made sense. "I'll create this group. Director Xu, please add Hu Shou to the group later."
"Once I send the script to the group, we need to get moving immediately."
"I want to see this movie released during the Spring Festival holiday."
"Director Xu, your time is tight and your task is heavy."
Yang Mi agreed with Chen Shaoping's opinion; once the agreement was signed, they naturally had to act immediately.
Her eyes were also fixed on Xu Jing.
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Jing said, "I will work overtime to calculate the costs as soon as possible."
"With such a detailed script, tomorrow, I will have the team start immediately. Releasing it before the Spring Festival is still feasible."
"The most troublesome thing now is casting. Everyone can offer good suggestions."
He walked around Yang Mi and asked, "President Yang, are you interested in playing 'Aunt Thirteen'?"
"Yes, yes, yes! When I first read the script, I was wondering how to bring this up to you," Yang Mi said, dancing with joy.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shaoping's face hardened, "No, Sister Mimi, you're not suitable."
"Why?" Yang Mi roared as if her tail had been stepped on.
Xu Jing also looked at Chen Shaoping.
Chen Shaoping became serious and said earnestly, "I think, Sister Mimi, you have too much spunk and not enough tenderness."
Then he continued, "Director Xu, President Yang. I've already conceived several sequels for this movie. If the box office is good, I hope the main characters can continue to play together."
"Therefore, casting must be done with extreme caution. If suitable actors cannot be found in the mainland, Hong Kong can also be considered."
Although Yang Mi felt that Chen Shaoping's words made sense, she was still unhappy, "You stinky man, is it okay if I just don't act?"
"Just wait, the female lead of the next play will definitely be me!"
She was pouting angrily.
Xu Jing wanted to laugh but dared not, so she stifled a sentence: "President Chen, then we'll go make arrangements."
"Wait a moment," Chen Shaoping called out to the two who were about to leave. "Director Xu, can your team film another movie? I have another script."
Yang Mi's eyes lit up, feeling that joining this alliance was incredibly worthwhile.
When she asked him for the 'three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms' script, he was secretive about it.
Now, he was taking them out
"What type?" Xu Jing asked.
"A gambling film! Or whatever type you need, I can do it."
Chen Shaoping's expression was calm and natural, as if he was stating something obvious.
Xu Jing took a deep breath, suddenly feeling double the pressure.
When there was no script, he longed for one; now that he had it, he had to worry about how to turn it into a movie.
"President Chen, please give me two days, I will definitely reply to you."
"Okay, I'll await your good news."
After the two left, Chen Shaoping immediately created a group named "eating meat together."
Soon, Xu Jing also pulled Hu Shou into the group.
Chen Shaoping sent the script to the group.
...
After finishing all this, Chen Shaoping felt parched and had an aching back.
But today's matters were not over yet, and he couldn't slack off.
He took out his phone and dialed the number from the previous intelligence report.
"Who is this?" A majestic female voice came from the phone.
"Hello, President Yang! My name is Chen Shaoping, you should have heard of me," Chen Shaoping introduced himself.
Yang Jie, who was wearing a facial mask at the beauty salon, paused for a moment, then quickly sat up.
The beauticians stood respectfully beside her.
Yang Jie knew that Hu Shou went to talk about cooperation with Chen Shaoping today.
Before she could get a call from Hu Shou, Chen Shaoping's call came in instead.
She had a premonition that something was amiss and paid more attention.
"Young Master Ping, I really like 'actress' and 'rain flower stone' that you wrote."
"At this time, you're calling me, is there something?"
Yang Jie expressed her liking for Chen Shaoping's works, then asked.
"Thank you!"
Chen Shaoping took a breath and told Yang Jie everything that had happened today, from beginning to end.
After listening, Yang Jie's expression didn't change much, and her tone remained the same.
It was still calm, with a hint of authority.
"President Chen, thank you for telling me this. I will handle it."
Chen Shaoping heard the casualness in Yang Jie's tone, whether it was her subordinates being treacherous or the alliance signing.
To her, these were minor matters.
Chen Shaoping wasn't surprised, but he hoped that what he was about to say next...
Could Yang Jie still remain so calm?
