Chapter 435 Secret Operation
On the other side, Xiao Mengxu couldn't wait to reach out and take the script handed to him by Yue Hanzhang.

The more "sacrifice" he had made before, the more painful it felt.

At this moment, I feel more and more that the movie role I got is precious.

He looked down at the cover of the script, saw the four large characters "Wind and Shadow", and began to flip through it impatiently.

That's right.

This is exactly the localized adaptation of "The Bourne Identity" by Yue Hanzhang.

It was probably Master Fangda's "debut" that inspired Yue Hanzhang. When "The Grandmaster" had already opened up the market, "The Master" followed closely.

Yue Hanzhang did not put all his focus on in-depth exploration of the martial arts genre, but instead planned to expand into more different fields first.

Taking advantage of the explosion of enthusiasm and the momentum of everything being as raging as oil, Yue Hanzhang should first finalize a few major basics, and then he can withdraw most of his energy from it.

At that time, he only needs to write a script to reproduce some classic achievements of the previous life in this life, and Yue Hanzhang will not need to worry about the rest of the filming and release process.

The first genre film decided to be developed by Yue Hanzhang was the localized "Modern Spy War".

The classic work in the uncle circle, the rescue series has been handed over to Shi Fangda by Yue Hanzhang.

As for the first step of the localized version of Mission: Impossible that can become a series, Yue Hanzhang has given the main role to Jiang Ziran.

The patrol team's mission in the north failed because of the existence of a traitor from the Church of the Saints. The team members died tragically one after another. After the protagonist was framed as the traitor, he searched for the truth and found the traitor.

As the pioneering work of this series of films, the protagonist at that time was not yet able to fly and do anything under Tom Cruise's interpretation.

Not to mention the protagonist's green and immature side.

Being framed at the beginning not only fits the story's commercial narrative, but also makes the protagonist more passive, as if everything he does is a counterattack when he is forced into a desperate situation.

This kind of charm that goes beyond the plot is exactly what Jiang Ziran needs to create for himself now.

In addition, the localized and modified version of "The Bourne Supremacy" was handed over to Xiao Mengxu by Yue Hanzhang.

The protagonist is also from the Patrol Wind Division, but he is a monk from the Patrol Wind Division who loses his memory and needs to rediscover his true identity under the siege of the Saints’ Churches and some fallen family forces.

Compared with Jiang Ziran's role, the character played by Xiao Mengxu has a much more fierce style of doing things.

The edges and corners are sharp from beginning to end.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the character's setting, all of his top attack and killing skills have been integrated into his instincts, but because of his amnesia, he is in a state of out-of-control and stress.

Apart from Yue Hanzhang who has an acting skill, perhaps only the monks from the Zhuse Lian Mansion who constantly devour the minds and memories of "their own people" can interpret it vividly.

After reading the entire script, Xiao Mengxu nodded repeatedly in satisfaction and had similar thoughts.

This is indeed the script that Yue Hanzhang wrote for his "own people".

Moreover, Xiao Mengxu understood the "aftertaste" of the ending.

"Brother Yue, this ending——"

Before he finished his long words, Yue Hanzhang nodded calmly on the spot.

“Yes, Yue has plans to make sequels, and more than one, but let me be clear, having a plan does not mean you have to do it this way. You get what you pay for.

What Brother Xiao just instructed me to do is only enough to play the role in the first film.

At worst... Yue will change the plot and let Luo Xingqian play the second part. Maybe he can offer a better price.

But Yue has always been loyal and will not easily change the first-come-first-served principle.

As long as you can offer a price that is similar to mine—no—even if it’s slightly lower, all the roles from now on will still be yours!"

Damn it, you want to bait the same place for the second time? The third time?!

At that moment, Xiao Mengxu seemed to have all kinds of emotions surging.

But in the end, none of these violently surging emotions showed up on his face.

There is no way, when Yue Taigong fishes, all he needs is a willing fisherman to take the bait.

Yue Hanzhang never forced anyone to buy or sell anything from the beginning to the end.

The truth was that Xiao Mengxu just needed help from others.

It was seen that Xiao Mengxu fell into deep thought again because of this.

This time, Yue Hanzhang did not wait for him to think it through, but spoke again decisively.

"There is no rush. Yue is only talking about the long-term plan. The first part hasn't started yet. Brother Xiao can just wait and see for a while.

But then again, the first part will start very quickly, and will probably be completed during the finals. You are the protagonist, and your schedule will follow yours. On the day of the competition, you will have time free.

But in the intervals between rounds..."

Hearing this, Xiao Mengxu nodded decisively.

“It’s alright, I’ll save it.

The accumulation of foundation of the cultivators in Zhuse Lianfu is different from that of ordinary people, and the gaps between rounds are of no use to me.

As for the subsequent projects - Brother Yue - let me think about it -"

The more hesitant Xiao Mengxu was at this moment, the happier Yue Hanzhang felt. What did hesitation mean?
Hesitation means weighing the pros and cons, and weighing the pros and cons means that Xiao Mengxu really still has bargaining chips to trade with himself.

What he weighs and hesitates about is not whether it exists or not, but whether it is worth it.

I think that's the truth.

The demon tribe's troops have set foot on the lands of the Dao Alliance states, creating a turbulent situation that has not been seen in a hundred years.

The war of blood and fire has become increasingly corrupt in the northern states.

At this critical juncture, Yue Hanzhang did not believe that the various saints' sects hidden in the northern states, as well as the monks of the various lotus palaces hiding behind the various saints' sects and moving like ghosts, would not take any action.

If he doesn’t come to the world now, when will he come to the world?
In Yue Hanzhang's opinion, these strange and evil monks are like mantises.

By the time you have discovered one or two in front of you, there may already be piles of them behind your back.

In other state contestants, maybe... no! There will definitely be a second or third Sun Jinghua!
They do not kill people, nor do they deliberately reveal the uniqueness of their souls. They are all in the "blind spot" of Yue Hanzhang's unique vision.

They can only distinguish each other through the inheritance of memory.

This is Xiao Mengxu's unique advantage.

He won't say it now, but when he sees the revenue of the film after it is released in the future, he will be tempted.

At that time, the rounds of the finals were still ongoing, and it was not too late.

"Brother Xiao, please think about it carefully, but - don't think about it for too long -

You know, some words are worthless if they are said too late.

Some things, if delayed for too long, will no longer be the same price as before.”

Yue Hanzhang had just sent Xiao Mengxu out of the villa shortly after leaving behind these meaningful words when Grand Duchess Katya, dressed in a long dress that looked like leaping flames, came to the door again.

Speaking of which, I don't know why, ever since Yue Hanzhang started to build a crew to shoot "The Grandmaster", or to be precise, from the preparatory work a few days before the shooting, Katya, who used to appear by his side often, became secretive.

Although, a great cultivator at the Nine Seal Golden Elixir realm is naturally like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail, and he probably has a lot of things to do.

But an inexplicable intuition told Yue Hanzhang that she might be busy, but at the same time, Katya seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

Thinking about it this way, he had just sent away Xiao Mengxu, who had been hiding from him for a long time, and now he was greeted by Katya, who had also been hiding from him for a while.

People who I haven't talked to for a long time came to my door today.

What is going on——

Team building with “old friends”?

Moreover, Katya's expression seemed very serious, without the refreshing and bright smile she had before.

But even so, Yue Hanzhang's eyes still seemed out of control. They swept across Katya's unfathomable career, and finally fell on Katya's face.

"Katya, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Familiar eyes, familiar voice, familiar name.

As soon as the words came out of Yue Hanzhang's mouth, the strange feeling of not talking for a long time suddenly disappeared.

Katya's eyes, like bright fireworks, were flickering with waves.

No, it shouldn't be said that the unfamiliarity disappeared.

Instead, with Yue Hanzhang's words and actions, some more ambiguous emotions that did not belong to Katya collided with the truly seamless bodies that far exceeded the gaze.

At this moment, along with Yue Hanzhang's words and actions to her, all began to truly connect with Katya's body and spirit.

The senses that were suppressed in the past were awakened because of the real master.

What disappeared into smoke was the invisible barrier of seeing flowers in the fog.

At this moment, Katya completely resonated and empathized with Ye Yishui's previous feelings from the inside out.

Then, the bright smile and the blazing eyes that seemed to seduce people like flames all returned to Katya's expression.

This is the "dispute over morality" between her and Ye Yishui!
"Is there nothing I can do if I can't come to see you——?
However, this time there is indeed a serious matter. The Wuzhou Sang family, yes, the family behind Sang Mingqiong, contacted me secretly and entrusted me to convey Sang Mingqiong's thoughts to you.

She hopes to put your fight in the next round of the finals.

I wonder if you would like to do that?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood the reason why Sang Mingqiong did this.

It is true that Sang Mingqiong gained a huge amount of fame due to the great success of "The Grandmaster", but she also understood that this meant that there was almost no chance of failure for "The Master".

However, the only project she was deeply involved in was "The Grandmaster".

This also means that the longer the time drags on, the more reputation Yue Hanzhang can gain outside of the finals.

As a result, the longer the time goes on, the more disadvantageous the dispute will be.

The only time we can still be considered evenly matched is now!

"It's fine if you agree. Dao Zheng has no reason to refuse. However, the Wuzhou Sang family must do me a favor, a small favor..."
