How did I become famous?

Two days later, Fang Bie, whom Wu Kai hadn't seen for two days, handed him a thick notebook.

"Give"

"Uh, thanks." Wu Kai took the notebook, his eye twitching slightly. "Old Fang, why don't you go take a break?"

Fang Bie, who appeared before him, had a stubble beard, dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

Even if this were a comic or anime, everyone else would be in color, but he would have turned gray.

He has burned to ashes.

"Well, I'm taking my misplaced talent back with me." Fang Bie staggered away.

There was no other way; he rediscovered his long-lost passion.

That was the passion of a boy who stayed up all night working hard to create beautiful illustrations when he was still a trainee artist!

The only thing Fang Bie is confident about, or even proud of, right now is his painting skills.

While working on the storyboard last night, he even considered becoming a professional cartoonist.

But he gave up, because he absolutely could not accept the idea of ​​working himself to the bone every day, or even being hospitalized.

Becoming a manga artist like Togashi is something he doesn't want to accept.

So he just gave up.

I'd rather make games.

If he makes a few good games and then creates a "parallel world version of Steam," he can spend all year vacationing in Hawaii and still make money while lying down.

Just think about Gabe Newell (GabeN) in his past life and you'll understand.

STEAM is a platform, while Valve is a privately held company.

Its owner, Gabe Newell (G胖), has a net worth exceeding five billion US dollars.

Isn't this making money while lying down?

They don't even need to develop games!

Therefore, making games is the right path!

As long as I give it my all, with my knowledge as a transmigrator and my own skills, plus Lao Wu and Xiao Lin, I really won't have to worry about the rest of my life!

And if there really is that much money.

He could afford to spend six figures on clothes in one go.

Thinking of the young lady reminds me of the song.

When did Miss finish watching the songs?

If not, you could release an album with ten songs first.

ZZZ

Fang Bie, back at the company, quickly fell asleep.

"Skinny monkey, what are you doing?"

Liu Mang slapped Wu Kai on the back with his chubby hand: "Hey, let me see Lao Fang's storyboard draft~"

"Here you go." Wu Kai handed it to him, then muttered to himself, "Old Fang is really amazing! I feel like this storyboard is even better than those currently popular comics!"

He had also heard that Liu Mang was the executive director of "Shadow of Light".

However, he also mentioned the legendary storyboard to Liu Mang and the others.

Rumor has it that as long as you strictly follow Fang Bie's storyboard, any professional film crew can shoot scenes that can win awards in the international film industry.

He didn't believe it before, but now he truly believes it.

Old Fang is indeed a genius!

You can see his control over the visuals just by looking at his storyboards.

With such a rhythmic and visually striking storyline, coupled with his wildly imaginative script, it would be strange if the movie didn't become a hit!

Liu Mang beckoned Zhao Qiumei over, handed her the storyboard, and asked her to make copies for the photography team, post-production team, and all the main actors.

Then he shook his head and laughed, "Skinny Monkey, this movie is really going to be a huge success for you."

However, he was not discouraged.

Do not!

Rather, this only fueled his arrogance!

He's going to take on the challenge!

The person he challenged was not Wu Kai, but Fang Bie!

He wanted to test how far he was from Fang Bie's original idea in making a movie based on a script he wrote based on Fang Bie's idea, compared to a movie made strictly according to Fang Bie's ideas!

Even if I can't catch up with him yet, I will try my best to see his back!

And one day, I will stand at the same height as him!

When Ip Man and his team received the storyboard, they were deeply impressed by it.

"Did Director Fang really not know any traditional Chinese martial arts before?"

Is there really such a genius?

Just because I demonstrated it once yesterday, I can directly grasp the essence of Wing Chun?

The Wing Chun techniques depicted in this storyboard are all perfectly presented, showcasing the unity of hands, waist, stance, mind, intention, and strength. Techniques such as striking, intercepting, sinking, striking, shoulder, wrist, fingers, sticking, touching, ironing, stealing, leaking, and the body movements and footwork of the "two-character clamping sheep stance" are all depicted.

Moreover, he can even perfectly execute the corresponding techniques when fighting against others?

Even Ip Man, who had practiced Wing Chun for over a decade, could gain a lot of insights from this storyboard.

In fact, it wasn't just him; other practitioners of Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, and other schools had the same idea.

Could it be that Director Fang is actually a martial arts prodigy living in seclusion in the city?

Moreover, he is a polymath with expertise in various fields.

Rather than believing that Fang Bie could grasp the essence of various martial arts styles after only one viewing, they preferred to believe that Fang Bie was a super martial arts prodigy who combined the best of all martial arts styles.

Unfortunately, Fang Bie is neither of them.

As for those moves and such, he had only heard of techniques like Wild Horse Parts Mane, White Crane Spreads Wings, Crushing Fist, Cannon Fist, and Iron Mountain Lean.

And it's just something I've heard about.

The reason he was able to draw such a perfect storyboard was actually due to his years of painstaking study of painting in his previous life.

How did he study back then?

First, trace the image; then copy it; next, find some movie scenes to draw and study the storyboard; and finally, create your own original work.

He has watched movies like "The Grandmaster" and "The Master" countless times.

Although the specific details were already blurred, when they performed and explained the routine yesterday, all the memories that had been hidden deep in Fang Bie's mind, as well as the physical memories he had imitated thousands of times, all came flooding back.

In addition, the paneling techniques he learned from manga with explosive paneling, such as "Dragon Ball" and "One-Punch Man," led to his nicknames such as "Yusuke Komurata" and "Ken Obata II."

Although this nickname is limited to the internet.

But he's really good at it, especially when it comes to drawing.

In his previous life, he didn't have a team, and the adaptation of novels into comics was basically monopolized by comic studios, so he couldn't come up with any good stories on his own.

In addition, comic studios operate on an assembly line basis, and he looks down on their quality; the salaries are also lower than those offered by game companies.

That's why he became a concept artist at Koei Tecmo.

While everyone was still marveling at it, Liu Mang laughed: "You really haven't seen anything like this before, Skinny Monkey. You'd better keep this storyboard safe. I have a feeling that Lao Fang might draw comics again in the future. Once he has another title as a comic master, you'll understand how valuable this storyboard is."

Actually, he had a premonition ever since Fang Bie started making movies.

So Fang Bie kept all those trashy songs he wrote at the very beginning, as well as the storyboard drafts for "The Shadow of Light".

Decades later, he can also go out and boast that he watched Fang Bie become a master step by step.

Maybe when I get old and can't film anymore, I can use this skill to make a living on variety shows and earn some easy money. That sounds pretty good.

Ignoring Liu Mang, Wu Kai began explaining the play to Ip Man and the others.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts after seeing Director Fang's storyboard?"

Their answers were largely the same.

"Stunning, to be honest, I've never seen such a good comic."

"I've heard that directors don't draw storyboards in such detail. After seeing the storyboards, I feel that as long as I shoot and act according to them, I can also make a good movie."

"Director Fang is truly a martial arts prodigy! I happen to be short one disciple to close my own school. If he doesn't mind,..."

Ignoring the last one, Wu Kai nodded: "You're all right, but you haven't grasped the essence of the matter!"

He held up the storyboard in his hand: "Director Fang stayed up all night to draw such a detailed storyboard, just to show us how good his storyboarding and drawing skills are?"

"No!"

"He put everything he wanted to say into this tiny storyboard!"

He pointed at Ip Man: "Ip Man! Tell me! What do you see in this storyboard?"

The stunning art style and panel layout, the sharp and imposing atmosphere, and then there's Ip Man raising his head: "I see indomitable spirit! And unwavering determination!"

Wu Kai nodded, then pointed at Gong Ruomei: "Miss Gong, what did you see this time!"

Gong Ruomei narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, "The bitterness of a martial artist."

Wu Kai then looked at Zhang Tian, ​​the middle-aged cool guy who was the successor of Bajiquan and the one who had everyone on the crew talking: "Teacher Tony, what about you?"

Zhang Tian's eyes sharpened: "Blood and guts."

Wu Kai then asked Ma Yuan, the head of the Xingyi School, "Where is Master Ma?"

Ma Yuan closed his eyes and sighed, "The tradition is still declining."

"That's right!" Wu Kai clapped his hands. "I've seen all of that! But what I saw wasn't the martial arts world, it was the film industry!"

"Traditional martial arts have declined! And isn't the film and television industry the same?"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "But at least there are people in the martial arts circle who dare to try this! What about the film and television industry?"

"I've also felt lost and despondent before. But Director Fang's appearance gave me a glimmer of hope for change!"

"Therefore, this film carries hope! It represents the hope of traditional Chinese martial arts! And the hope of the film and television industry!"

"Only when it succeeds will more young people truly understand traditional Chinese martial arts, instead of just mistaking those charlatans and performers' routines for genuine martial arts! Only then will the capital involved in the film and television industry not be blinded by false popularity! Only then will they truly invest in films that are worth investing in!"

"So everyone! Director Fang is telling you not to think of yourselves as actors filming a movie! You need to learn to understand the inner world of the characters in the film!"

"Isn't the world in the drama just like reality? It also faces the decline of traditional martial arts! It also faces the challenges of emerging trends! Everyone should put themselves in that world and use their genuine emotions to become the character in the film!"

Wu Kai found it increasingly reasonable as he listened.

He also asked Liu Mang how Fang Bie instructed Chen Yongren and the others on acting.

Liu Mang's advice is, "Keep a calm mind and play your role well."

Wu Kai felt that Fang Bie meant exactly that!

Immersive experience!

As long as you immerse yourself in the role, you'll become the character you're playing!

How could such acting skills not be strong?

Moreover, Fang Bie may have guessed his thoughts but was too embarrassed to say them directly because of his pride. That's why he stayed up for a day and a night to draw this emotionally charged storyboard to guide him!

At that moment, Wu Kai felt he was getting closer and closer to Fang Bie.

Perhaps I have already understood Fang Bie's way of directing!

He became increasingly confident in the film's success.

In the distance, Liu Mang murmured, "I understand now."

He's suddenly realized something again!

He felt that Fang Bie was not only instructing Wu Kai, but also himself.

If casting Wu Kai in a martial arts film opened the door to commercial films for him, then this was the case.

That idea he gave himself, wasn't it just opening the door to teen romance films for himself?

Perhaps I'm going to use this romance film to put an end to the melodramatic nature of domestic romance films and the nonsense of youth-themed movies!

At this moment, he had forgotten that it was Miss Su who suggested adding the element of romance.

If two chapters are 7 words each, can the third chapter be considered an extra chapter?

If everyone says no, then just pretend I didn't say anything...
