Qingqing was surprised. "Xiaomeng, is this your own account? You have quite a few followers, over a hundred thousand! Are they all real followers? If they are, then this account is incredibly powerful. Are all the short stories here written by you?"

“That’s right. These stories of mine are all short pieces of tens of thousands of words or less, and I haven’t signed with any websites. This is perfect. If Xiao Cheng can use them, it will save him the trouble of looking for scripts everywhere.”

Xiao Cheng followed Xiao Meng's account on his phone. After reading a few posts, his eyes lit up. It was a ready-made IP database! The author had personally opened the database and let him choose whatever he wanted. For a director, this was like falling into a rice bin!

Although they are all short stories, judging from the writing skills, adapting them into a screenplay should not be a problem.

If that's the case, the project could save at least one-tenth of its expenses, which is an extremely rare opportunity.

"Great! I see you have a really good ancient Chinese revenge adventure story here. Boss, why don't you turn this story into a script and let me film it? Let's make a short drama to test the waters first." Xiao Cheng then called on the boss.

The onlookers watched as the two of them arrived, and in just a short time, the director and screenwriter of the short drama were already in place, and even the script was being finalized.

The onlookers were also very excited; the project was almost ready to launch.

Among the onlookers, a girl jumped out and volunteered, "Me, me, me! I love doing those ancient costumes the most! Can I join you for something this fun?"

I studied fashion design in college and I can make clothes. I'll come to your film crew and do your costumes, makeup, and props.

As long as you provide me with the fabric, I can bring my own cutting and sewing equipment.

"Just consider it an internship on your film set, just give me a stamp of approval."

Someone who knew the girl asked, "Zhenzhen, doesn't your family own a clothing factory? Isn't that enough for your internship?"

The girl named Zhenzhen had a rebellious look on her face. "Making clothes for the film crew is so much more fun. It's like cosplaying. You don't have to worry about trendy designs. You can do whatever you want. Isn't that much more interesting than working in a factory?"

"Yay! I love cosplay the most! Can I help design the character's look? I just want to be a background character in the show. I'm so excited!" A young man with dyed white hair seemed eager to join in.

But the guy sitting next to him wasn't having it. He slapped him down and said, "Cosplay my ass! You'd better go home and do some manual labor this year. If you dare to skip out, I'll have the finance department suspend your card, and no amount of pleading will help."

After calming his younger brother down, the older brother turned to everyone and said, "I really envy them for being able to do whatever they want and pursue their dreams. It's not like that in our family. There are so many things at home that need someone to keep an eye on. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving everything to outsiders."

Several other colleagues who also worked in the family business patted the man on the shoulder in understanding.

Someone started soliciting business, saying, "By the way, if you want to rent photography equipment, I know someone who runs an equipment rental company. Mention my name and you can get a discount."

"Look at how sneaky you are, this photography equipment rental company isn't something you secretly set up behind your old man's back, is it?" His cronies dug up his secrets.

"What do you mean secretly buying these things behind my father's back? I've done everything openly and honestly. This equipment rental company isn't really my business; I just have a small share in it. It's mainly because I like to use some equipment myself, and when the rental company buys the latest models, someone has to try them out, right?"

"That's impressive, that's awesome!" Everyone admired his ability to turn his hobby into a career.
