I'm A Baller

An Xiaofang glanced at the cover carelessly and was instantly stunned by the handwriting on the cover.

What beautiful handwriting!

[Demoness: Powers out of control]

There were only six words on the snow-white cover, half a line and half a regular script. It carried a strong personal style and was extremely impactful.

It was rare for young people nowadays to be able to write such a master level calligraphy. Young Master Wang’s upbringing was much better than the average mining second generation.

An Xiaofang secretly praised in her heart, but she suddenly caught on to another detail

Under normal circumstances, the main title of the script was to draft the title of the movie. If it wasn’t a series movie, there wouldn’t be a subtitle at the end.

And there was a colon after ‘Demoness’!

So..

Could it be a series?!

An Xiaofang finally got some interest, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

She flipped to the first page of the script, and after a cursory glance, she immediately came to a conclusion — the format was rigorous, and it was a real script, not some nonsense.

The first scene, bloody night.

In the base room, night, inside.

A black-clothed secret service agent stood with a gun in his hand, and a child was lying on his back. He was close.

A second later, the secret service agent pulled the trigger and fired at the child under his feet. Three silenced gunshots rang out.

The camera zoomed in on the child. His body twitched, and his chest was bleeding. His eyes were filled with hatred but indifference.

The child suddenly launched a counterattack. The cement floor on his shoulder cracked like a spider web.

The captain fired another shot, hitting the child’s forehead. His life was gone. Close-up.

The camera zoomed in on the captain.

The captain chewed gum (a bloodthirsty smile) . “If you don’t want to die, then aim for my head. Do you think they are scum like you?”

..

It was only the beginning, but the impact was already overwhelming.

Simple, direct, and fierce. The style of the entire movie was very strong.

Moreover, there was a hint of suspense in the nervousness, which made people unable to wait to read it.

A good script could directly form an image. An Xiaofang quickly outlined the scene of the opening in her mind, and Goosebumps rose all over her body.

Fresh!

There was no such type of film in the country!

If a director who was good at composition and atmosphere was hired, the opening scene of the film would give the audience a strong thrill!

No matter what the plot was like after the opening scene, this script was definitely above the standard.

An Xiaofang could not help but raise her head to look at Wang Yan. She nestled her body deeper into the sofa and leaned against the back of the sofa.

“I need to look at it for a while. You guys can talk about your own stuff.”

The previous contempt was an inherent prejudice. Now, the emphasis was on her true level.

Wang Yan smiled and raised her glass. “Sister An, please do as you please.”

An Xiaofang began to read the script seriously. The more she read, the more shocked she became.

The entire script was very complete in terms of structure. It was so mature that it didn’t seem like a novice’s work.

Especially the final climax. An Xiaofang only had one feeling — she was completely satisfied!

That kind of mysterious and magnificent imagination was simply amazing.

For example – the demoness’s lightning-fast kick (the torso was stable, the body was still, and the right foot was fast-forwarding four times the special effect) , Chen Xiao blasted through the wall (like a cannonball) and flew ten meters away. She smashed a human-shaped dent on the mechanical and electrical box and raised her head slowly with difficulty.

This was the Marvel, DC level of Impact!

Because Hollywood blockbusters paid more attention to special effects, in terms of actions alone, ‘Demoness’ had a chance to win!

Especially that kind of dynamic contrast, it was the essence of traditional Chinese culture.

If it could be shot well..

It would be the first of a new generation of Action Movies!

Strong style, outstanding selling point, controllable cost, high ceiling, with a sequel plan..

This movie was worth doing!

The only question now was what Young Master Wang planned to do.

An Xiaofang suppressed the excitement in her heart and turned to look at Wang Yan.

“Young Master Wang, the script is still okay. Have you confirmed the amount of investment?”

An Xiaofang was very calm. Li Yixu could not see through her actual attitude.

Wang Yan also could not see through this real big shot in the entertainment industry, but he had confidence in his script — to be more precise, he had confidence in the quality of Demoness’s completed film.

There were so many problems with the original version, but it still exploded. Moreover, it had won excellent reputation worldwide. An Xiaofang, as a senior producer in the industry, would definitely be able to see the value of the script.

Moreover, Wang Yan’s modified script was more than a notch better than the original.

One doesn’t even need to have high intelligence to be a normal movie fan. After watching the entire movie, he should at least complain about the parts that he wasn’t satisfied with, right?

The parts that caused strong complaints were deleted, and the parts that felt good were strengthened. It was a simple matter to change the parts that were looking forward to feeling good but didn’t feel good.

Anyway, Wang Yan felt that the new script wasn’t slow, and it felt good enough. It was a good batch.

Now, they only needed a good director and a batch of good actors to realize it.

Would An Xiaofang not be moved by such a rare good script?

Whoever believed it would be foolish!

Wang Yan was confident, so he smiled calmly. “I don’t know how to plan a budget, but I can accept anything less than 100 million.”

Li Yixu was shocked and blurted out, “Brother, are you serious?”

“What’s there to joke about 100 million?”

Young Master Wang laughed lightly and asked back. His acting was off the charts.

Although he couldn’t fork out 100 million now, the young master was confident!

Wasn’t it just nine months of breathing wages?

Wasn’t it just picking up one-fifth of the two floors for free?

Wasn’t it just a matter of lying to He Miaomiao’s little treasury?

If the system could be upgraded before December, there was no need to lie to miss he. Four months would be enough!

An Xiaofang was stunned for a moment. She scanned Wang Yan up and down. The shock in her heart was indescribable.

Whose child was this?

He is so generous. He dares to invest 100 million in his first movie?

After thinking about it, she revealed a little bit of the truth.

“It’s not that exaggerated. Leave this movie to me. It’s worth 30 to 40 million. It’s enough to produce the best results. I’ll throw in another 60 million for marketing. It’s not easy to snatch the new year slot. It’s more than enough to get a good ranking film for the summer slot.”

Young Master Wang laughed lightly. “My guess is pretty accurate. It’s about 100 million.”

The other party was a big shot. It was not easy to fool him, and he could not stop pretending.

Li Yixu had seen Wang Yan’s heroism when he organized the big eater competition. However, it was an investment with a relatively clear return. The risk was controllable, and it was completely different from the current situation. Therefore, he was so shocked that his throat was dry.

“Brother, isn’t the risk too high? Movies are different from live broadcasts. If it’s not done well, there’s a chance that 100 million will be lost.”

“Then make it well.”

Wang Yan was still as calm as ever. His words revealed his determination to press forward.

“If it’s not done well in China, I can invite the Hollywood team to film it. In short, I personally wrote the script. My best friend will be the lead. It must be done beautifully!”

The lead was a girl.

An Xiaofang and Li Yixu ‘understood’ in an instant. This movie was meant to flatter people.

“Brother, you’re awesome!”

Li Yixu gave a sincere thumbs up. He had never seen such an infatuated seed that flattered a woman so much.

Eh?

That’s not right. In society, my sweet sister seems to be flattered like this too?

There was a precedent. Wang Yan was not the first.

From the looks of it, Young Master Wang’s behavior was not abrupt. At most, he could be considered rich and wilful.

An Xiaofang thought a little more and began to evaluate the bottom line of this movie.

Action movies were best at making a big deal out of a small amount. The investment was not high, and the risk could be controlled.

If she were to control the project and produce the basic quality, it should not be a problem for her to get 180 million box office earnings.

With a production cost of 40 million, 120 million box office earnings would be enough to cover the cost. The marketing cost of 60 million was rather complicated, and it was not convenient to talk about it in detail.

But in short, the possibility of losing money basically did not exist. She could vote for it!

Once the upper limit was reached, the box office would explode..

That would be another masterpiece in her career!

An Xiaofang was moved. She wanted to get into the car from the bottom of her heart because she couldn’t bring herself to read the script.

However, the driver had the final say when the car couldn’t drive.

Wang Yan really needed a good producer, but An Xiaofang wasn’t the only good producer.

The last person who felt that he could take advantage of Young Master Wang was Chu Hong. Now, President Chu was arranging for him to lie down obediently in the list.

In order to stand up, Chu Hong gave up some flowers to feed the hooligans.

President An, what do you intend to give up?
