Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

After hanging up the transoceanic call, Dr. B sat in his office, the ashtray on his desk overflowing with cigarette butts, and his Black brothers sitting on the sofa for guests.

“You did the right thing, BB. You know the people who live in Beverly Hills. Movies are a golden goose, and they’re not going to let foreigners have them.”

“If your movie features that yellow-skinned girl, then in their eyes you’re a ‘traitor,’ BB, you’ll be cursed to death.”

One of the people was holding a script and reading it.

Even in the office, this person wears exaggerated black sunglasses, and has long hair styled into dreadlocks and then tied into a ponytail.

"Eggy, what do you think?"

“This script has a very high chance of winning an award.” Eggy, with her long ponytail, paused. “First of all, it’s conducive to racial harmony, which beats many white-dominated, white-starring movies.”

"The Oscars need a film that promotes racial harmony."

"But what are our Black brothers filming?"

“Gangster shootouts, gangster racing, gangsters… no, those white judges don’t want to see that.”

"This, a black boss and a white driver from the bottom, hmm, just seeing this premise makes me want to watch it."

“Our Black brothers are all over many countries, and this film will likely see a growth cycle at the box office after winning awards. My opinion is that investing in this film is a sure thing.”

Everyone was excited after hearing this.

"Hey, how much money can we make?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely more profitable than rap."

The man with the long ponytail tossed the script lightly onto the table, silencing his brothers.

"But this foreign girl and her foreign company are going to be a big problem, BB. If you want the movie to go smoothly, kick her out."

"Look! Even Eggy said so. He's the only one around here who went to college!"

Dr. B took a cigar from the cigar box beside him.

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Give 23M to that Fang. The white community in Beverly Hills is not as simple as those foreigners think."

"The Princess Cruises is a special case, and special cases are not replicable. In short, BB, you don't need to feel guilty. This is business. Besides, she probably knows how difficult it is to deal with the Beverly Hills film industry oligarchs when she asked you to cooperate."

Another person chimed in, "Yes, aside from those actresses who are subjected to unspoken rules, all they do is trip up others."

The fat man next to him laughed and said, "And male celebrities too, those perverts."

"Haha, you're right."

Dr. B listened to these things.

“Okay, we’ll do as Eggy says. Eggy never makes a mistake.”

Dr. B picked up the contract on the table, hesitated for a moment, then tore it up and threw it into the trash can.

"OK, OK, we'll do it your way."

……

Fang Ruoxi is not a passive person.

She doesn't like to wait. Whether things are going well or badly, if she just waits for the result without doing anything, she can't blame anyone if she fails in the end.

Therefore, after hanging up the phone, she prepared for the worst, realizing that it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

Since she couldn't rely on the people from country A, she decided to do it herself.

Fang Ruoxi wrote down the questions as she thought about them.

First, for a film to be considered a 'legendary film,' it must be a classic in film history.

Second, in order to reap global box office rewards, the subject matter cannot have cultural or regional restrictions.

Third, the production budget should not be too high (ideally, most of the money should be spent on the lead actor's salary).

Zhang Xiaomeng craned her neck to watch, and after seeing the three lines, her eyes widened in surprise.

"What kind of capitalist streetlight-hanging clause is this? Ah, it was proposed by Country A? I knew capitalist countries were no good!"

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

Fang Ruoxi: "I wrote this."

Zhang Xiaomeng didn't even stammer, "Our Ruoxi is strict with herself!"

Fang Ruoxi: "…………"

Zhang Xiaomeng immediately became worried, "Wasn't the script already given to Country A? Why do we need to find a new one?"

Fang Ruoxi slowly took a sip of soup. "They changed their minds over there."

Zhang Xiaomeng participated in the Lighthouse Entertainment meeting and knew that Lighthouse's subsequent plans were closely related to this film co-produced with Country A.

The contract was signed, and no one thought the project would go wrong. Before leaving, Dr. B was so eager to make them sworn brothers, but as soon as they arrived in Country A, he changed his mind.

Zhang Xiaomeng was furious. "Tell them to pay me back!"

"I should have written an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract in the contract! I could have made them pay until they were bankrupt!"

She was like a pufferfish about to explode with anger, her cheeks puffed out, circling around Fang Ruoxi like a little hamster.

Fang Ruoxi drank the soup spoonful by spoonful, showing no signs of anger at all.

“No need. At worst, we can still get back the money we paid for the script rights. $2300 million, we won’t lose out.”

Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes widened. "What? That script can sell for that much money?"

Fang Ruoxi said, "It's generally impossible, but you can check the global box office of 'Princess Cruises' now."

Zhang Xiaomeng took out her phone and searched, then almost turned into a screaming groundhog, "Ten...ten billion US dollars??"

"Director Liu posted it."

But Zhang Xiaomeng immediately realized that they wouldn't get any of the money. "We didn't sign any contracts because Director Zhou helped us back then. Ruoxi, maybe Director Liu will have a change of heart and give us some?"

"It seems Director Liu donated all the box office revenue from this movie." Fang Ruoxi paused and added softly, "He donated it to several well-known cancer foundations, and also to a church abroad, the one where his ex-wife is buried."

Fang Ruoxi ate a couple of bites, but with something weighing on her mind, she really didn't have much of an appetite.

"I'm going into seclusion here. Go and urge Brother Wang to bring the person over as soon as possible."

Female celebrities already have to manage their figures, and Fang Ruoxi also needs to take care of her voice, so her diet is even lighter.

Tonight's dinner looks green all over, mostly raw, and there are no cooked dishes, just boiled in water with a little salt and vinegar.

But for female celebrities who have to diet to maintain their figure, this is a hard-won meal. However, Fang Ruoxi barely ate anything except the soup.

"I'll leave it here. You can eat it when you're done with your work." Zhang Xiaomeng was even more concerned than a personal assistant, nagging as she left.

As soon as she left, Fang Ruoxi immediately began to browse the system, searching for scripts that met the criteria.

As soon as I logged into the system, I received several message notifications.

[Global box office achievements unlocked.]

[A milestone achievement in film and television has been reached.]

The film "Princess Cruises," adapted from the story of "Titanic," has grossed over $5 billion worldwide.

[The film and television script library has been unlocked to Lv.2.]

The film "Princess Cruises," adapted from the story of "Titanic," has grossed over $10 billion worldwide.

[The film and television script library has been unlocked to Lv.3.]

It turns out it was the achievement reward from "Princess Cruises" that arrived in my account.

Fang Ruoxi was worried because she had sold all her Lv.1 script inventory a few days ago.

The reward is a timely boon, it came just in time.

She simply started browsing through the script library at level 3.

The first step in making a choice is to start with the movie title.

This is also the first thing that global audiences will encounter in the future; a good name can pique their interest.

However, most film directors will choose film titles that are relevant to the content of the film and have relatively subtle names.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is an interesting title, but once you open it, you'll find it's associated with a blue-blooded luxury brand.

Fang Ruoxi thought about it and felt that this movie was not classic enough, so she could leave it on the list and watch it at the end.

Then there are action movies. Kung Fu movies are suitable for domestic filming, while hero movies are suitable for filming in Country A.

The market for action films is huge, but the production costs are also very high, which doesn't meet her core requirements, so it's out.

With the Lv.3 film inventory nearing its end, the movies that make it onto this list are all pretty good and guaranteed to be box office hits, but they're either too expensive or the story backgrounds aren't suitable.

Second to last, "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Fang Ruoxi was very interested in the script, but unfortunately, the film was too 'personal'.

If a legendary band like Queen, which influenced a generation, cannot be found, the film's box office performance will be greatly reduced.

With the system around, it's not impossible for her to create a 'Queen' band. Wait, write this down, and I'll have Wang Liping find a way to poach people from abroad later.

When she got here, Fang Ruoxi was about to give up. She thought that if all else failed, she could try to use her connections to negotiate a cooperation with Blue Blood Luxury.

As it turned out, the last movie title caught her eye.

"godfather".
