Tangshan!

Hey~ System, something's not right.

Why not WLMQ? Shouldn't you be slapping me in the face?
I just refused someone's offer, saying, "Oh, I'm too busy, I'm not going to WLMQ, whoever wants to go can go."

If you randomly select Wrath of the Lich King as your shop, I'll have to grovel and beg you.

Seeking band!

As a result, they ended up in Tangshan, going around in circles without ever leaving Hebei Province.

That's it?

Do a better job next time.

I don't even have the chance to find an excuse to go on a trip.

Of course, Su Chao paid more attention to the items in the random store and checked out the blind boxes as soon as possible.

It's said that it's currently a protection period for new customers, with blind boxes discounted up to 90% off.

There is an upper limit but no lower limit.

I got my hands on Zhang Zhenyue's "Goodbye" with a 7.9 rating for 500 yuan.

Su Chao spent a whopping 15,000 yuan on "The Little Sun," which has a rating of 7.2, and that was even with a discount.

Even if we calculate based on 15,000, 500 yuan is roughly a 0.03% discount.

This is the power of blind boxes!
It's as if the system, in order to protect the host from dying in the early stages, gave the host an extra cheat on top of the existing one.

This cheat code is absolutely amazing.

Su Chao is very satisfied.

In his past life, he read a novel where the protagonist was like a succubus in the entertainment industry, going around absorbing other people's attributes and being called a "half-circle sleptr".

How shameless!

This kind of thing can cost a little money!
Spend a little! Even if you go to a prostitute, it won't cost much...

Su Chao remotely viewed the items in the random shop.

This blind box is clearly labeled "Attribute Blind Box" and is priced at three thousand yuan.

Damn, a blind box with special attributes that costs 3,000 yuan.

This thing is amazing!

Forget about it spawning in Tangshan, even if it spawns in Antarctica, you'd still have to steal an icebreaker and run over there to buy it.

Attributes are more valuable than experience points.

A beginner's experience point is worth about 100 yuan.

A single attribute point can cost around 100,000 yuan, and if it's a particularly high-quality attribute, the price will be even higher.

When Su Chao first saw Lü Bu, he had a stamina attribute point, which cost 160,000.

That's enough to buy a car.

The day Su Chao caught the hammer, he also gained a point in singing ability, which was like a windfall.

He wanted to throw more axes and hammers into the river and then fish them out again.

Unfortunately, you have to buy and open a blind box to find out what attributes it contains and how many points it has.

There are also two other items...

Then they won't be blind boxes anymore; there's only one blind box.

One item is the song "Betrayal Love Song," originally priced at 40,000, now discounted to 8,000.

Two-fold discount!

Su Chao's saliva was gushing down his throat.

This song is really good!
Moreover, it only costs eight thousand yuan, making it one of the cheapest songs Su Chao has ever seen, second only to Chang Chen-yue's "Goodbye".

This random store isn't offering discounts, it's a clearance sale!

System, are you done with your life?
The last item is the script—"My Sassy Girl"!
Movies starring Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun.

It is a film that has achieved great success in Bangbang, China and even in Asia.

It's a phenomenal bestseller!

Originally priced at 160,000 RMB, now priced at 80,000 RMB.

It was 50% off.

The discounts at this random store are quite good, so Su Chao definitely has to go.

"Brother Chao, run!"

Lu Bu called out and hurriedly helped Su Chao pack his things.

"What happened?"

Su Chao, who was still researching the random shop, was startled.

It hadn't even been an hour, and he still hadn't caught a fish.

There's definitely a big fish lurking around his bait underwater; now it's all about patience.

When he looked up, he saw everyone fleeing.

Could there be some huge monster in the water?

"The fishpond owner is here, with a harpoon. Run!"

Lu Bu, carrying Su Chao's stool and fishing rod, was the first to run away.

"Damn, fishing wasn't allowed in this fishpond before."

Su Chao had no choice but to run after him.

This isn't a question of whether he can win a fight; he is indeed very capable, but he's in the wrong.

Fortunately, there were some old men in the crowd.

The old men aren't fast runners; Su Chao and Lü Bu don't need to outrun the pond master, they just need to outrun these old men.

Actually, the pond owner is a middle-aged man.

He is tall and strong, and he works in the fields all year round. If he really wanted to chase, few could escape.

But he started shouting loudly from a great distance.

He chased after them for a long time but couldn't catch up with anyone, not even an old man with unsteady steps.

So, he just wanted to get rid of people.

After returning to the film set, filming continued in the afternoon.

Su Chao decided to wait until the film crew stopped work the day after tomorrow, then he would ride his motorcycle to Tangshan. The only problem was that he didn't have enough money.

There was only a little over 50,000 left, and in the morning I gave Guo Xiaofeng 5,000 yuan to pay the teacher's daily salary.

It seems I'll have to ask a friend for help.

He's so poor, he's practically destitute.

I have no choice but to get involved; even if I'm reborn, I have to get involved, and I have to get involved even more if I'm reborn.

"Director, what if I had a script..."

"no way!"

Su Chao's role doesn't have many scenes, and it's not a particularly challenging one.

Having gone through the previous analysis and discussion with Huang Jianxin about the character, Su Chao has a very accurate understanding of Yang Wei.

Therefore, the number of NGs (no good) is decreasing.

After filming a few scenes, he was no longer needed.

He would find a stool and sit next to the two directors, sometimes watching how they filmed, and sometimes asking them for advice, which deepened their relationship.

He learned at noon that there was a script for "My Sassy Girl" in the random store, and he thought about buying it and making it into a movie.

I've recently come into contact with a lot of filmmakers and projects.

The company I had the most dealings with was Xi'an Film Studio.

He thought he should ask Huang Jianxin if it was possible to make the film within the framework of Xi'an Film Studio.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jianxin didn't even wait for him to finish speaking.

"Why not? Even a good script isn't acceptable?"

Su Chao was speechless. This was "My Sassy Girl," a phenomenal movie.

"There's no money. Besides, they're still undergoing restructuring. You're not from Xi'an Film Studio, so no one will give you money to make movies. Xi'an Film Studio won't, Beijing Film Studio won't either, and as for private enterprises, there aren't any private enterprises left."

Huang Jianxin shook his head.

This is simply not something that can be accomplished with any hope of success.

For example, Kunlun Film Company, which produced the 49 version of "Sanmao the Vagabond," is a privately owned film company with an important position in the history of Chinese cinema, founded in 1947.

In 1953, it was officially merged into the state-owned Shanghai Film Studio.

Most early privately owned film studios met a similar fate.

Now, state-owned film studios such as Shanghai Film Studio, August First Film Studio, Changchun Film Studio, Xi'an Film Studio, and Beijing Film Studio dominate the market, and the films produced on the market cannot escape the background of these studios.

The Film Bureau's centralized production and distribution system has stagnated local film creation.

All the film studios are barely surviving.

The directors at home all have a bunch of people but no roles to play, how could they possibly give an outsider a chance?

When will the restructuring be completed?

Su Chao sighed. He didn't necessarily have to film it now, but the movie was released in 2001.

If it can't be released ahead of schedule, then it really will clash with other products.

"Who knows? There are a lot of vested interests involved. Even I wouldn't dare to make it into a movie. You should give up on making a movie. You don't even understand how to make a music video yet."

Huang Jianxin chuckled.

In his view, Su Chao was just a child.

I've only studied directing for two days, and I haven't even officially held the director's chair yet, but I'm already thinking about making movies.

This so-called good script might have been something he came up with while squatting on the toilet after recording a song at 2 a.m. last night.

"So, if I take it to Hong Kong to produce, do you think it will be released here?"

Su Chao quickly came up with a solution.

"Are you serious? Why would Hong Kong make a movie for you? They're struggling to survive, and the market is getting tougher and tougher."

Huang Jianxin was starting to doubt Su Chao's intelligence.

"Of course I'm serious. I talked to Wai Ka-fai in Hong Kong before, and he asked me to go to Hong Kong to be his screenwriting assistant, but I didn't go..."

Su Chao doesn't need to brag at all.

He himself is amazing.

"Wai Ka-fai from 'Peace Hotel'? He lost a lot of money."

Huang Jianxin had certainly heard of it.

Moreover, with only two years left until Hong Kong's return to China, there is still a lot of cultural exchange between the mainland and Hong Kong.

"Yes, it's him. He plans to collaborate with Johnnie To to create a label. I can ask him for help."

Su Chaoyue thought it over and over and felt it was a good idea.

In its early days, Milkyway Image's films were consistently flops.

Several old Dengs lost so much money they were urinating blood.

They've even mortgaged the house.

Later, he allied himself with the Xiang family and successfully navigated a path that combined business and art, which gradually enabled him to establish himself.

It can be considered the last glimmer of light in the glorious era of Hong Kong films.

Since that's the case, Su Chao should discuss it with them later, and perhaps they shouldn't wait until they've run into a lot of trouble before trying to do both.

Let's just take two routes from the beginning.

Su Chao's "My Sassy Girl" happens to be his first commercial film.

The script was bought for 80,000.

You can give it to Milkyway Image for free to film.

Don't ask why!
It's all love!
All that's needed is for Galaxy Pictures to give Su Chao a tiny, "insignificant" share.

For example, 25% or 20%.

It remains to be seen whether Milkyway Image has the courage to do so.

We can sign a performance-based agreement.

I'll take care of all your future commercial film scripts.

I'm a reborn person with cheat codes, why would I be Wai Ka-fai's assistant?

He deserves it too!
By then, we'll be considered veterans of Galaxy Impression.

You don't want to do it? If you don't want to do it, then go find Wong Jing.
