Chapter 1155
Ye Xingguang: "I may not have the acting skills yet, but I can learn! It’s perfect, I’m just sitting idle anyway. Director Xu, I think you have exceptional vision. I learn quickly! But just to be clear, I’ll only be responsible for the filming, not the promotion, like Shen Xingyao. I won’t participate in any pre or post film promotions!"
Xu Hai, visibly excited: "No problem, no problem, as long as you are willing to take the role, everything else can be negotiated!"
Xu Hai took out his business card: "This is my card. Although my movies haven’t gained much popularity, and I’m not a big-name director, the original story of the film I want to make is excellent. Trust me, filming this movie will absolutely be an enjoyable experience for you."
Xu Hai knew that Miss Ye in front of him was neither short on fame nor fortune. Promises of a dazzling future wouldn’t attract her. For someone like her from a wealthy family, probably only her interest would capture her attention.
Ye Xingguang was entirely in it for her idol but didn’t want to make it too obvious. She pretended to ask, "Can I see the script first? If it’s as compelling as you say, I’ll do it."
"Well, Miss Ye, there isn’t a script yet. This project is based on a web novel which is very popular right now and has just concluded. If you agree, I’ll immediately contact the author to purchase the rights and start adapting it into a script."
Xu Hai pulled out his phone, searched for the web novel, casually pulled up a chair, and sat down. While handing the web novel to Ye Xingguang, he enthusiastically explained the story summary. Despite being chilled by the combined frosty aura of Ye Junqing and Mo Yinhe, he persisted in narrating the plot to Ye Xingguang, braving the coldness like a winter’s day.
Xu Hai said: "Miss Ye, look, this story is about going to the civil affairs bureau to draw lots for a partner. The female protagonist is the manager of a mystical bookstore known as the Time Bookstore. This magical bookstore can fulfill any demand, given an equivalent price. Because the protagonist owns this bookstore, she’s privy to people’s life and death. She discovers her beloved idol has less than a year to live. To save his life, she decides to enter his world, so she hacks into the civil affairs bureau’s lottery system to ensure she draws the male lead..."
Director Xu Hai was chattering on, unable to stop once he started, while Ye Xingguang listened intently. Ye Junqing had already taken out his phone to send a WeChat message to Fu Zhuo, glanced at the script on the table, and instructed Fu Zhuo to buy the copyright for this web novel.
Fu Zhuo was bewildered, unable to figure out why Master Jing suddenly showed interest in a web novel...
Nevertheless, Fu Zhuo dared not refuse Master Jing’s request, so he immediately sought out information and eventually found the author of the web novel.
He was utterly astonished by what he discovered.
The author of the web novel turned out to be Xiao Mi Hu!
Fu Zhuo rubbed his eyes hard, was he seeing things? noveldrama
Fu Zhuo knew that aside from being a college student, Xiao Mi Hu occasionally wrote web novels, but he hadn’t expected Master Jing to be interested in her work.
Fu Zhuo promptly called Mo Fei, who was at home enjoying a barbecue with Xiao Mi Hu, concisely expressing the intention to purchase the rights to Xiao Mi Hu’s web novel.
