The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

Chapter 137 was released one after another, and it became a huge hit.

The hotel where the film crew of "Taken 3" was staying in Yangon, Myanmar.

It's 11 p.m.

Shen Qing sat on the sofa, with the title "Lucy" written in large font on the open document on his computer. He quickly scanned the document with the external mouse and then nodded.

Just then, the door creaked open, and someone peeked inside furtively. Seeing Shen Qing on the sofa, she came in with a smile, gently closed the door, but didn't lock it.

"Are you finished writing?"

Naza was bending over to look at the content on the computer. Her long hair fell down and brushed against Shen Qing's face. Shen Qing sniffed. Naza had just taken a shower, and her body and hair smelled nice.

"Mission accomplished."

Shen Qing only wrote the script for "Lucy" when he wanted to clear his head. He wrote it on and off for more than half a month before finally finishing the script.

"You're so good to Sister Bingbing."

In the film, both Naza and Rouba play models who are tricked into coming to Southeast Asia and suffer various forms of abuse before being rescued by the protagonist. The two are assigned to the same room by the film crew, but Naza sneaks into Shen Qing's room every night, so she knows that "Lucy" was written for Fan Bingbing. At the same time, she also knows that the "Lucy" project was aimed at the international market from the very beginning, meaning that the movie was made to make money from the film industry. She believes that Fan Bingbing will definitely use this movie to further solidify her "international" status.

"Am I not good to you?"

Shen Qing pulled Na Zha, who was bent over, closer to his arms, and smelled the scent of Na Zha's body and hair. He gradually became a little emotional as well.

Just then, the door creaked open again, and Naza struggled to her feet from Shen Qing's arms. She straightened her clothes before greeting the person who had just entered: "Sister Bingbing!"

The woman who just walked in is Fan Bingbing, the female lead of the movie.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! The door wasn't even closed! If I'd been a few minutes later, or if it hadn't been me who came in, you two would have been putting on a live sex show for everyone!"

After entering the room, Fan Bingbing locked the door first, and then started teasing Shen Qing and Nazha.

"Sister Bingbing, the novel 'Lucy' that the boss wrote for you is finally finished."

Naza stepped aside and sat down on the inside side of Shen Qing's room.

Upon hearing this, Fan Bingbing walked over and sat down next to Shen Qing, peering at the contents of the computer screen in front of her. Then she turned and stared at Shen Qing, their faces now only a few centimeters apart.

"Finished writing? You've worked hard. I'll treat you to a nice evening."

While speaking, she still couldn't help but glance at Naza beside her.

Shen Qing patted Fan Bingbing's leg and said, "Lucy will be your first blockbuster with a global market, where you'll be the sole lead. If it succeeds, you'll shed the 'sexy vase' label and establish your global box office appeal. Your commercial value will then see a significant boost."

Fan Bingbing glanced at Nazha, who was looking at her with envy, and tilted her head up to give Shen Qing a kiss. Shen Qing simply responded and then let go of her.

"Do you know when I started wanting to create a movie like this for you?" Shen Qing asked Fan Bingbing.

Still caught up in his excitement, Fan Bingbing asked, "Since when? When did you and your sister Yitong climb into your bed together?"

Shen Qing shook his head and said, "From the moment I decided to have someone else play Mo Ying."

Mo Ying is the female lead in "The Great Wall," a film with a production budget of $1.5 million. Mo Ying was a role Fan Bingbing had always dreamed of playing. Hearing Shen Qing say that she had been eliminated from the list of candidates, she paused briefly, then looked up to see Shen Qing staring at her. Realizing what was happening, she grabbed Shen Qing's arm and said, "Did you write this 'Lucy' script specifically for me because you were worried I'd be heartbroken if I didn't get the part?"

Shen Qing nodded.

Fan Bingbing threw herself into Shen Qing's arms and said coquettishly, "You're so good to me."

Shen Qing smiled too.

He originally thought that after telling Fan Bingbing, she would at least be unhappy for a moment. The Great Wall had an investment of 1.5 million US dollars, while Lucy had an investment of about 3000 million US dollars. The two were not in the same league. Unexpectedly, she was not only not unhappy, but also very grateful and started to act coquettishly towards Shen Qing.

If good resources come up in the future, we should still give her priority.

Fan Bingbing and Nazha had both finished showering before sneaking over. Shen Qing closed the laptop in front of her, then picked up Fan Bingbing and walked towards the bedroom. Nazha silently stood up and followed the two like a maid. After Nazha entered the bedroom, she closed the door from the inside.

At 4 a.m., Fan Bingbing continued to sleep soundly in Shen Qing's room, while Nazha got dressed and slipped back to her own room. She swiped her swipe to open the door, slipped inside, and quietly closed the door. Just as she was about to sneak back to her bed, she heard Rouba on the other bed mumble, "Boss, I'm willing too." Then the room fell into dead silence.

"You're back."

Rouba suddenly woke up and said, "Was I talking in my sleep just now?"

"I told you," Naza said, sitting back on the bed.

"You said it? What did I say?"

-

"What did you say, Yuan Yi? It was all mumbled, who could understand you? By the way, who is Yuan Yi? Your ex-boyfriend?"

"Huh? No, I've never heard of that name before."

Rouba broke out in a cold sweat.

She and Naza are from the same place, signed with the same magical film company, and played supporting roles in the movie "Taken 3". The only difference is that Naza became the boss's woman and would sneak into the boss's suite every night.

What was Naza doing sneaking into the boss's room? Rouba couldn't help but wonder this every time she saw Naza quietly slip away. Thinking about it, she even pictured it in her mind, and finally, her thoughts manifested in her dreams, causing her to call out the boss's name. While awake, she had those embarrassing images of Naza and the boss; while asleep, Naza in those images became her. When Naza had just slipped back, she was dreaming about the most crucial part of the dream. She vaguely felt like she had called out to the boss, but since Naza hadn't heard her clearly, it was alright.

There were no scenes with Fan Bingbing in the morning. When Shen Qing woke up, she groggily asked for a kiss and then went back to sleep. Basically, she would get up and go back to her room whenever she was full, without worrying about being seen.

After getting dressed, Shen Qing went to the living room. Soon after, her assistant Shen Ying brought breakfast. She was someone Shen Qing had chosen from her hometown; she was meticulous, quiet, and discreet. After eating breakfast, Shen Qing rushed to the film set to shoot.

At noon, Wu Jing approached Shen Qing and said somewhat nervously that he had an idea. Shen Qing listened and thought it was somewhat like the prototype of "Wolf Warrior 1".

"The script still needs careful polishing. Once it's polished, investment won't be a problem."

As she spoke, Shen Qing picked up her phone and dialed Chen Zhixi's number. She briefly explained the situation and then hung up the phone, saying to Wu Jing, "Just contact Chen Zhixi directly when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shen."

Wu Jing was incredibly moved. There were others who verbally agreed to vote for him, but Shen Qing directly called the vice president to explain the matter, which immediately increased the value of Shen Qing's verbal agreement.

Two days later, all the overseas scenes for the film were completed, and the crew moved to Dehong, Yunnan Province to continue filming.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was officially released on December 16 and achieved an astonishing box office.

首日3560万、次日4500万、第三天6700万、第四天5300万首周末四天累计票房破2亿。

With the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", the daily box office of "Our Times" dropped from more than 2000 million to more than 1000 million.

Yang Mi called specifically to complain.

"It's infuriating! Jiang Wen's movie is so amazing, our movie is being crushed."

Shen Qing laughed and said, "Mimi, I've noticed you're getting a little arrogant. Isn't it normal to be overshadowed by Jiang Wen's movie?"

""

"So what if I'm arrogant? My man is better than him, I have the right to be arrogant," Yang Mi said coquettishly. "How long until you come back? I miss you."

"Soon."

"Call me before you get back. I want to see you the day you land, the very first hour, the very first minute."

"Okay, I'll let you know in advance when I get back."

95

"That's more like it."

On December 23, the crew finished filming all the scenes in Dehong. Next, they moved to Beijing, where they will film for another day or two before wrapping up filming completely.

At 6 p.m., Shen Qing received a call from Liu Yifei.

"When are you returning to Beijing?"

"tomorrow."

"Really? What time is your flight? I'll come pick you up."

"Hmm—I have an appointment to discuss business with someone. Let's do it in a few days. I'll pick you up in a few days."

"Alright then—what kind of business is it that's so important that you're discussing it right after returning to Beijing without even taking a break?"

"A very big business, a business worth hundreds of millions."

"Then take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, you still care about me the most."

On the 24th, the crew flew back to Beijing. Yang Mi personally went to the airport to pick up Shen Qing. She greeted Fan Bingbing in a generous manner. Rouba and Nazha were just nobody, not even considered 18th-tier celebrities at the moment. However, Yang Mi's gaze still swept over the two of them before she pulled Shen Qing's arm and got into the car.

Back at Shen Qing's home, after closing the door, the two hugged and kissed. Afterwards, Yang Mi hugged Shen Qing and said, "Go take a shower, and then get a good night's sleep."

"If you take a shower and then go to sleep, what's the point of your trip? If you're going to shower, then shower together."

Yang Mi broke free from Shen Qing's embrace and said, "Wasn't I just thinking of you? You don't appreciate my kindness! I was just worried that you would get tired, so I thought I'd let you take a shower and go to sleep so you would feel refreshed when you woke up."

"How can you relieve fatigue without relaxing your muscles and joints?"

After saying that, he took her hand and walked towards the bathroom.

The next morning, Shen Qing went to the company and chatted with Chen Zhixi about the box office performance of the movies currently showing.

Their own film, "Our Times," has grossed 4.37 million yuan and has stopped growing.

"The Laughing Swordsman" has grossed 1.43 million yuan, which is also the last gasp of its power.

"The Orphan of Zhao" has grossed 1.74 million yuan, and it seems to have little potential left.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has grossed 4.68 million yuan in 11 days since its release, and it seems to still have strong momentum.

Shen Qing believed that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" would be higher than the original historical record. After Shen Qing traveled to this time, he had a great influence on the speed of cinema construction in this time. Shen Qing's movies broke records one after another, and repeatedly made people who did not have the habit of watching movies enter the cinema for the first time. He also repeatedly made investors see that opening a cinema was a good business. As a result, cinema construction became more popular. As a result, the box office of movies in this time was mostly a little higher than that in the original time.

On the 26th, Shen Qing received a text message from Liu Yifei, which read: "Has the deal worth several hundred million been finalized? When are you coming to pick me up?"

Shen Qing replied, "We're still negotiating, let's wait a bit longer."

These past few days, Shen Qing has been filming his last few scenes during the day, and Yang Mi has been clinging to him very much at night, so Shen Qing really can't find the time.

It wasn't until the 28th that Shen Qing finally saw Yang Mi off, and filming for "Taken 3" officially wrapped up. That afternoon, Shen Qing finally had time to spend half a day having fun with Liu Yifei. In the evening, he brought her home and did some unspeakable things.

September 29th was the premiere of "Back to 20", and Shen Qing personally attended the event to support director Han Yan and Wan Qian.

Many reporters and audience members who attended the premiere did so because they knew Shen Qing was likely to be there. When Shen Qing actually appeared, cheers immediately erupted. Shen Qing first answered a few questions from reporters in the media area.

When Shen Qing saw Wan Qian backstage, she sensed that Wan Qian was a little nervous, so she patted her and comforted her. Wan Qian glanced at Shen Qing and then smiled.

Wan Qian was Shen Qing's first woman in this world, but now he has indeed become somewhat distant from her. There's no other reason than that Shen Qing has many women around him, such as Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and Fan Bingbing. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't spend a few days together every month. Recently, he's also added Nazha and Gao Yuanyuan. With more time spent with these women, he naturally has less time to spend with Wan Qian.

Logically speaking, Wan Qian is now somewhere between a first- or second-tier actress, with breakout works like "Mr. Donkey" and "The Nameless," so she can make a living anywhere. She's not as dependent on Shen Qing anymore. At this point, with Shen Qing having women on one side and girls on the other, Wan Qian could easily just stop hanging out with him.

Do I need to live such a humble life? But Shen Qing's situation is indeed somewhat special. He has extremely high energy. Although he has many women, his body can handle it completely. In fact, not only can he handle it, but he can also give his women unprecedented satisfaction. His women, whether physically or mentally, are becoming more and more dependent on him. The longer they are with him, the more dependent they become.

Shen Qing spends less time with Wan Qian each month, which makes Wan Qian very upset. Not only is she upset, but she is also worried that Shen Qing will spend less and less time with her in the future. She is also worried that if "Back to 20" does not do well at the box office, Shen Qing will blame her and treat her even less well.

"Don't worry, the feedback from the internal screenings has been very good, right? There won't be any problems."

"Um."

The film screening at the premiere received a very strong response. Wan Qian's acting, under Shen Qing's guidance, was much better than in the original timeline. The script for "Back to 20" was also excellent. The original timeline was adapted into several versions, including Korean, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese versions, and the film's period feel was very well done, with many details that brought a smile to the audience's faces. Furthermore, Wan Qian's singing reminiscing about her youth was very moving, bringing many men in the audience to tears.

After the premiere, Shen Qing couldn't wait to go home. Liu Yifei was waiting for him in bed and had just texted him to ask when he was coming back. The two of them had been up most of the night last night and continued in the morning, which had really worn them out. By evening, she seemed to have recovered, but she was both a little afraid of Shen Qing and couldn't help thinking about him. Seeing that Shen Qing hadn't come back yet, she texted him again to urge him.

When Shen Qing was about to leave, she saw Wan Qian's reluctant eyes and her heart softened, so she stayed.

It's been a long time since I've spent time with her.

"Come to my place tonight."

"it is good."

Wan Qian looked at Shen Qing, her eyes slightly moist.

Shen Qing was not referring to the house where Liu Yifei lived. Neither Liu Yifei nor Liu Shishi would agree to be with another woman, and Shen Qing couldn't bear to see them like that.

He sent Liu Yifei a text message saying he wouldn't be going home that night, and then took Wan Qian to another house he frequented, where they made love passionately that night.

In the morning, Wan Qian went to meet up with the film crew for a promotional tour, while Shen Qing went back to another home feeling somewhat guilty.

I tiptoed into the living room, but didn't see anyone. I went to the bedroom, and as soon as I opened the door, a pillow was thrown at me.

Shen Qing took the pillow and apologized, saying, "Wife, I'm sorry, I really couldn't get away last night."

Liu Yifei lay on the bed and ignored him.

Shen Qing knelt down next to her and continued to apologize, gently stroking her back and whispering many sweet nothings.

"I really had something important to do last night, please forgive me this time, okay? I promise it won't happen again, I really couldn't get away last night."

"Can't leave? I bet you're so captivated by some stunning beauty that you can't move!"

Shen Qing was delighted to hear this; the fact that the person was willing to speak meant that the situation wasn't too serious yet.

"Where did this stunning beauty come from? Isn't there a more beautiful woman in the world than my Feifei? Impossible!"

"Ugh, there's no man in the world worse than you!"

Yeah, I've pretty much coaxed him.

"Back to 20" was officially released nationwide on December 31.

Audiences are still very interested in the theme of "rebirth". Coupled with the brand name of Magical Films, the quality of the script written by Shen Qing, and the fact that Wan Qian's previous performance in "The Nameless" earned her a great deal of public favor, the movie became a hit as soon as it was released.

Many viewers gave the film high praise after watching it.

"It meets expectations. Everyone can go see it without worry. The story is quite simple and touching. The movie is very sincere."

"It's such a simple movie, but many domestic directors just can't make it. You can really watch Magical Films' movies with your eyes closed."

"Wan Qian's acting is commendable. While she may not be as memorable as in 'The Unknown,' her portrayal of an elderly person inhabiting the body of a young person is very vivid."

The positive word-of-mouth for the film has drawn more and more people to the cinema. Like "Our Times," "Back to 20," a film with a budget of only 2000 million yuan, quickly became the most eye-catching dark horse of this year's Lunar New Year film season.

3018 million on its opening day, 1.35 million over its opening weekend, and over 400 million in 20 days—this is the box office performance of "Back to 20".

By the way, "Our Times" ultimately grossed 4.39 million yuan, so it looks like "Back to 20" could go even higher.

Both films had a budget of only 2000 million yuan, but the box office revenue was more than 21 times the budget. This happened for both films in a row, making everyone in the industry extremely envious. Netizens said that Shen Qing and his Magic Films have gone crazy this year.

Then, in late January 2011, the movie "Lost in Thailand" was screened internally.

This film stars Shen Qing herself, and everyone in the industry knows the significance of Shen Qing's personal involvement in the film.
