Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

With a script of this quality, even top directors wouldn't utter a sound upon seeing it.

They're like mice released into a rice barn; they want this and don't want to let go of that.

But good movie scripts are very expensive.

Not long ago, a film that won first place at the Asian Film Awards had its script rights purchased for a staggering 1500 million.

The scripts posted in the group are clearly aimed at the Academy Awards, as anyone with a discerning eye can tell.

Its upper limit cannot be limited by a mere Asian Film Awards.

Xia Bo, who was added to the group, randomly clicked on a script called "The Lord of the Rings," and once he started reading, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

With just one glance, Xia Bo, drawing on his twenty years of experience in the industry, vowed that if this script was well-made, it would definitely win an Oscar!

Weiss's behavior has always been described as the 'sewer of the industry'.

Upon receiving this excellent script, Xia Bo immediately contacted Fang Ruoxi privately: "The Lord of the Rings, 100 million RMB, are you interested?"

Fang Ruoxi almost laughed out of anger when she saw the price.

The Lord of the Rings is clearly a film that fits the Oscars' tastes.

Most importantly, it's an ensemble film.

With a little maneuvering, we can find a film company in country A to collaborate with, select a few well-known actors from country A, and winning an Oscar is a sure thing.

Not long ago, the screenplay that won the Asian Golden Image Award in Country R cost a whopping 1500 million RMB to purchase the copyright.

Is the Websters willing to pay $100 million for a screenplay that could win an Oscar?

This isn't just kicking someone when they're down; this is downright blatant robbery.

Fang Ruoxi didn't tolerate the Xia family member surnamed Wei either. She directly sent a screenshot of the private message to the public chat, along with the text: "Everyone, has anyone taken a liking to this doujinshi?"

The industry veterans who were still reading their scripts immediately put down their scripts and switched back to check the message when a group message popped up, afraid that if they were a second too late, the script they wanted would be snatched away.

As a result, when the big shots rushed into the group and saw what was going on, they were almost amused by Wei Shi's antics.

Meng Guoliang: [Is Wei's going to go bankrupt?]

Xia Bo was so angry he wanted to smash his phone.

While cursing Fang Ruoxi in his heart, he immediately sent a message in the group chat.

Directors, I've taken a liking to this script. Could you please be kind enough to make way for it?

If it weren't for these industry leaders in the group, they probably wouldn't dare to compete with the Wei family.

But who are all these people in the group?

These are all industry giants who, even without joining Wechsler, would still be influential figures in the industry.

Each of them is deeply connected with the official channel, and as long as they make a film, they are at least a big shot who will be nominated for the Asian Film Awards.

Instead of giving Xia Bo any face, the big shots in the group deliberately went against him and started asking Fang Ruoxi about the price of the script.

The first bidder was 'Old Zhang, the filmmaker,' who offered 1000 for the script.

He didn't call out his work unit, but everyone knew that Old Zhang had omitted a 'W'.

Xia Bo was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't do anything about this 'Old Zhang the filmmaker'.

A master of fantasy and science fiction.

When it comes to domestic fantasy and science fiction films, if this one dares to claim second place, no one else would dare to claim first.

Old Meng couldn't stand it anymore: "Old Zhang, what's wrong? Did you go to Webster's for further studies? And you're asking this price for this notebook?"

Old Zhang was already using his second phone to try and raise money everywhere, but he still managed to squeeze in a reply to a group message: "Bullshit! I've got my eye on Avatar! I really don't have the money to buy that! Wait for me! I'm raising money!"

Nobody keeps tens of millions of dollars in liquid funds unnecessarily.

Fang Ruoxi sold the scripts without giving any advance notice. If he had been given some time to react, Mr. Zhang would have bought both of these good scripts in one go!

Old Zhang: [How about this, Xiao Fang, you package these two scripts together for 3000 million, and then I'll sign a contract with you, giving Lighthouse Entertainment an additional 7.5%.]

Fang Ruoxi calculated the box office figures based on the system's reference and realized that Zhang Lao's price was the maximum.

Immediately, a bunch of big shots in the group spammed the "fist bumping.JPG" emoji, indicating that they 'couldn't afford' this price.

At that moment, the price of the Sharp 1050W was still in the input box, but these old men capped it with just a few words.

Xia Bo almost broke through his defenses.

Meanwhile, Fang Ruoxi had already started messaging Zhang Lao privately.

Mr. Zhang immediately sent over a contract template, and as soon as Fang Ruoxi signed it, he would make the payment immediately.

Fang Ruoxi glanced at the newly activated 'Movie Special Effects Technology Support Package' from the system and then added a comment.

Mr. Zhang, these two films have relatively high requirements for special effects.

Mr. Zhang is a big name in the industry, but he showed no impatience with Fang Ruoxi, nor did he think she was showing off her limited skills.

[Of course, so I plan to collaborate with a film and television special effects company in country A.]

Fang Ruoxi: [Then how about my visual effects department makes a few clips for you to see?]

Upon hearing these words, Old Zhang's brows furrowed for the first time.

He had never heard of Lighthouse Entertainment before.

Later, I overheard Lao Meng mentioning it privately, saying that Zhou Wen was messing around with some web series at this small company...

In short, they considered him inferior.

Director Liu's apprentice...sigh, he was held back by that incident back then.

Otherwise, how could he have made a name for himself in the film and television industry by now?

That being said, how can a company that just throws things together haphazardly produce special effects comparable to those of a special effects company in country A?

Seeing that Old Zhang was silent, Fang Ruoxi immediately guessed what he was thinking.

[Consider this casting for a movie. We don't need a deposit. In return for the script, how about giving us an audition opportunity?]

Since that's what everyone said, Director Zhang readily agreed, but on the other hand, he was searching for Country A.

Knowing that Lighthouse Entertainment was in a hurry to raise money, Director Zhang immediately arranged for someone to make the payment.

Meanwhile, the big shots in the group were 'teasing' CEO Xia of the Wei family.

Sun Zheng: [Hey, you from Wei's, is Wei's alright? Why are your quotes all 110 or 120? Has Wei's boss been detained? Or has it gone bankrupt and been liquidated?]

Before Xia Bo could reply, Director Zhou said, "Director Sun, you don't understand. The police and ambulances take them in under their own names, then sell them to a third-party company for 200-400 yuan."

The third-party company then connects the product to Weiss, which then buys it back for 1000-1500.

Director Sun: [I see]

Director Wen: [I see]

Director Meng: [I see]

Xia Bo: Is this something I can say?! Is this something I can say?!

President Xia's face turned purple with anger.

The Wei family is a powerful and influential family in the film and television industry. The lower-level managers of the Wei family are always respected by outsiders.

When have I ever been treated like this?

Xia Bo turned around and privately messaged Wang Liping.

Weiss-Chamberlain: [What do you mean? What do you mean by "Lighthouse"? Don't you want to die already?]

Wang Liping: [President Xia, the Wei family has plenty of money. Last time you spent 7 million on that film, "Ascending to Immortality," and its best result was only an Asian nomination.]

Wang Liping: [The Weiss Studio acquired the script for "Ascending to Immortality" from a third-party company for a staggering 1880 million yuan.]

Xia Bo laughed in exasperation.

The head of the screenwriting team at Wei was about to leave the group chat, but before he could even press the button, he saw this message appear in the chat:

Wang Liping invited 'Chang Hong from Tianyin Film and Television Department' to join the group chat.

Wang Liping invited 'Xu Chunwen from Xinghuang Film and Television Department' to join the group chat.

Xia Bo: "..."

Good scripts can be leaked to the official channels!

But we absolutely cannot let it go to the 'Big Three'!!

If the boss finds out that he's in the same group as the rival company and ultimately couldn't beat them to the film and television department, then he should just get out of Wei's!

Xia Bo: [What's left? Price's negotiable! I'll take them all! (clasped hands.JPG)]
