Chapter 0623: New Movie

Between lovers, there is no problem that a passionate kiss cannot solve; if there is, then two.

Soon, Fan Baobao lost herself in Zhao Fusheng's kiss, letting out a soft moan, her whole body going limp in his arms.

It had to be said, in this matter, Zhao Fusheng knew exactly how to handle Fan Baobao.

After a long while, Fan Baobao lay in Zhao Fusheng's arms with a flushed face, glaring at him: “You’re such a jerk.”

“Haha!” Zhao Fusheng laughed heartily, tightening his arms around Fan Baobao, and said cheerfully, “When my new movie with Old Jiang comes out, you’ll see how impressive it is.”

“New movie?”

Fan Baobao raised an eyebrow: “Weren’t you blacklisted?”

Zhao Fusheng smiled meaningfully: “The one blacklisted is Fusheng, not me…”

Fan Baobao was startled, then she also smiled.

Although she didn’t know what Zhao Fusheng was up to, she trusted him, knowing her boyfriend was full of tricks, especially with Jiang Wen around.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up—Fan Baobao understood this better than anyone. In her view, as long as Jiang Wen was taking the lead, her boyfriend wouldn’t be in too much trouble.

Little did she know, when he said those words, Zhao Fusheng was practically gritting his teeth.

…

…

“So, you promised your girlfriend a role in my new movie?” Jiang Wen stared at Zhao Fusheng, dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

He had been dragged out of his warm bed early in the morning by Zhao Fusheng, only to hear such bad news; he was really about to break down.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled and said sincerely, “No, not your new movie, our new movie.”

“Ours?”

Jiang Wen was taken aback, looking at Zhao Fusheng strangely, utterly confused: “Have you agreed to write the script for ‘Warriors of Heaven and Earth’?”

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: “How could that be? I’m not crazy, I wouldn’t do something so stupid.”

“Then what do you mean?” Jiang Wen frowned, puzzled.

“I mean, let’s put together a new script ourselves, and you’ll be the producer,” Zhao Fusheng said slowly to Jiang Wen.

“Producer?”

Jiang Wen looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise; clearly, this new term was something he didn’t quite understand.

Zhao Fusheng nodded calmly: “Yes, producer.”

Then he chuckled: “They only said you can’t be a director, not that you can’t be an investor. There’s no problem with this.”

Jiang Wen looked thoughtful, never expecting Zhao Fusheng to have such a trick up his sleeve.

At first, he hadn’t paid much attention, but after thinking it over, what Zhao Fusheng said seemed to make some sense. If he couldn’t be a director, he could certainly do other jobs.

As long as he could control the crew, Jiang Wen didn’t care about the so-called title of director.

What interested him more was what kind of script Zhao Fusheng was going to write for him. This curiosity even surpassed his desire to be a director.

With that thought, Jiang Wen blinked and asked Zhao Fusheng, “Fusheng, what kind of script are you planning to write?”

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: “I haven’t decided yet.”

What?

Jiang Wen was stunned, staring at Zhao Fusheng in disbelief: “Say that again?”

“I said I haven’t decided yet,” Zhao Fusheng said matter-of-factly to Jiang Wen. “Bro, I only thought of writing it yesterday, and today you want me to tell you what I’m writing? That’s impossible, okay…”

Jiang Wen felt terrible; if it weren’t for their friendship, anyone else who spoke to him like that would have gotten up and left without a second word.

What a joke—no script at all, yet daring to talk to him about being a producer or not. Was this guy crazy?

But Zhao Fusheng seemed not to notice Jiang Wen’s anger, still wearing a calm expression, and continued on his own: “Didn’t I say? We’ll start putting the script together now. I figure it’ll be done in three to five days.”

Jiang Wen felt that communicating with Zhao Fusheng was just too exhausting.

With a sigh, Jiang Wen said to Zhao Fusheng, “Think about it—we don’t even have a finished script. How can anyone be willing to invest in us?”

“That’s no problem,” Zhao Fusheng smiled. “Huayi will definitely be willing to invest.”

Wang Zhonglei still owed him a favor, and in Zhao Fusheng’s plan, this movie wasn’t going to be a big production anyway. If worse came to worst, Future Advertising could invest. Zheng Yao had been clamoring to break into the film industry lately; giving her a chance to practice would be good, and he believed she would gladly agree.

After all, the producer was Jiang Wen, and he would also star in it—that alone was a huge gimmick.

More importantly, Zhao Fusheng had been certain from the start that this movie would succeed.

After all, it was a perk of being a reincarnator; Zhao Fusheng knew this well.

“Huayi…”

Jiang Wen rubbed his chin, thinking it over, and realized that Zhao Fusheng wasn’t wrong. Huayi would definitely give them that face.

That way, the investment problem was solved, and what remained was the issue of the cast.

For other crews, casting might be troublesome—things like whether the actors were big names or could get along with the crew. But if he served as the movie’s producer, it would actually be easier.

Because whether in terms of connections within the industry or status, few actors could surpass him.

Even with the more famous seniors, Jiang Wen maintained good relations and could have a word with them.

In other words, as long as the script was of good quality, the combination of Zhao Fusheng and himself would definitely produce a decent movie.

With that in mind, Jiang Wen winked at Zhao Fusheng: “You little rascal, did you plan this all along?”

He couldn’t help but suspect that this was an idea Zhao Fusheng had cooked up beforehand.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head helplessly: “Bro, think about it. If I really had this idea, would I need to go through all this trouble? Wouldn’t it have been better to tell you earlier?”

Jiang Wen thought about it and had to admit that Zhao Fusheng was right. If he had really wanted to collaborate with him all along, there was no need for such trouble; he could have just brought it up directly. Why wait until now?

Besides, who starts putting together a script without preparing it in advance, planning to finish it in the next few days?

With that thought, Jiang Wen suddenly laughed: “That said, who are you planning to cast in the movie? And what genre is it?”

Now, he was really interested in this movie.
