How did I become famous?

Chapter 14 "Captain China"

"Old Fang, is this formula really okay? Something feels off about it."

"If you're not going to learn, then get out."

"Don't be like that! I've already paid your tuition!"

"Old Liu, you still lack talent."

"Drink my blood! Do you think I, Liu Mang, lack talent?"

"But what you wrote really wasn't very good."

"Then why the hell don't you teach me?!"

"Get lost! I'm busy writing a script!"

The above is a summary of Fang Bie's daily conversation with Liu Mang a few days later.

Fang Bie was indeed busy writing the script, because ever since that incident, Su Mulin had been urging him to produce the script as soon as possible.

It can only be said that the young girl is still young. She always felt that Fang Bie might abandon her and run away, so she thought of using this method to keep him here.

But now the question is, what should we film?

It's easy to deliberately make bad movies; just use your real talent to make random, terrible films.

But Fang Bie cannot do that.

According to Old Man Su, he had to complete the filming of the bad movie without anyone noticing, meaning he couldn't let Su Mulin realize that he was deliberately sabotaging it.

Although he would definitely be terrible if he were to film normally, Su Mulin didn't know that; she still thought Fang Bie was a genius.

Therefore, you can't just take pictures anywhere.

Of course, those classic films shouldn't be made either, because that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, after much thought, Fang Bie's only option was to create something that was completely opposite to the mainstream of film and television in the world.

For example, filming Yan Shuangying in a world where only serious war films are made.

Or in a martial arts movie, the protagonist could pull out a gun.

And so on.

So here's the question: can this kind of film be made with an investment of three million?

Obviously not.

Looking at the half-finished script of "Flying Tiger and Divine Eagle" on the table, Fang Bie fell into deep thought.

"Fang Bie".

Su Mulin walked in carrying a bowl of soy milk and two fried eggs.

"A freshly ground soy milk shop opened downstairs, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

"I prefer thinner soy milk; this freshly ground soy milk is too thick," Fang said, expressing his disapproval.

"So, are you going to drink it or not?"

"Drink it."

Fang finished the fried egg in a few bites, and then drank the soy milk in big gulps.

The soy milk wasn't hot; it seems Su Mulin let it sit for a bit before bringing it in.

Tsk, Fang Bie is getting more and more fond of this girl.

Su Mulin sat quietly to the side, waiting for him to finish eating, before asking, "Is that a script on the table?"

"That one," Fang Bie pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I guess so. Actually, I'm also torn about which one to film."

"May I take a look?"

"Whatever." Fang Bie leaned back in his chair. "You're the investor, you call the shots."

Su Mulin looked at the scripts and finally picked up one that was titled "Captain China" and started flipping through it.

Ten minutes later, she closed the script.

"Is this... really okay?"

This script deeply moved her; it wasn't just stunning, but rather a different kind of feeling that was hard to describe.

First of all, this is a film about suppressing bandits before liberation, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the underground anti-Japanese war films that have appeared on the market.

But... unlike those films, this script has a strange, detached feel from reality.

Su Mulin felt something was off, but she had more faith in Fang Bie's talent.

"I think, why don't we film this?"

"This one?"

Stop laughing, Fang.

This was the idea that popped into Fang Bie's mind after seeing Yan Shuangying.

It's not a remake of the classic films like "Hero," "Falcon 1949," or "Flying Tiger Eagle."

After all, those TV dramas were able to maintain a top ten rating on the same TV station during the same period.

This shows that the quality of these TV series is not bad. Even in a world where there are only serious war dramas, Fang Bie believes that these scripts can be made into blockbuster movies.

But now there are a few problems.

First, Fang Bie had hardly watched those TV series in their entirety. What he knew was just some clips from the internet. Apart from a few characters, a lot of pretentious lines, and the general plot, he didn't know anything about these TV series.

Secondly, his goal was to make a movie that was both critically and commercially unsuccessful. If he wanted to be a hit, why go through all this trouble?

But we can't just release a really bad movie.

Because if Su Murin notices the problem, his lurking "sea serpent" will probably be rendered useless.

Therefore, he made extensive modifications to the script of "Captain China".

First, the story's background and Yan Shuangying's series of pretentious scenes are retained.

After that, he used the template from Captain America.

In his script, Yan Shuangying was originally a kind and simple young cowherd.

That's right, Fang Bie used Yan Shuangying's original name directly here.

One day in the 1940s, his father, a veteran of the Anti-Japanese United Army, sacrificed himself and his wife to protect Bu Ying, the number one hero of Jiangdong, known as "Divine Arrow Hero". They were killed by bandits supported by the Japanese puppet army led by Ke Zhendong, known as "Jade-Faced Poison Bat".

Yan Shuangying narrowly escaped death and was subsequently taken away and trained by "Divine Archer" Bu Ying.

Under Bu Ying's meticulous guidance, Yan Shuangying's strength improved by leaps and bounds. He had learned almost 99% of Bu Ying's skills, and even surpassed Bu Ying's unique skill, "Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows".

After that, Yan Shuangying went around doing good deeds under the name of "Avenger".

Until that day, he found the murderer who killed his parents, "Jade-Faced Poison Bat".

In no time at all, he killed the five men under his command who were known as the "Four Heavenly Kings".

After less than three rounds of fighting, he declared that he would do as he pleased, whether you wanted him to kill or torture him.

But under Yan Shuangying's methods, he didn't last long before confessing everything.

Only then did Yan Shuangying realize that his mentor, the "Divine Archer" Bu Ying, was actually a traitor who betrayed the country for his own benefit!

Yan Shuangying's underground anti-Japanese alliance was betrayed by him!

He even killed Yan Shuangying's parents!

Yan Shuangying decides to avenge his parents.

So he overcame numerous obstacles and killed nine of Bu Ying's men, known as the "Eight Heavenly Venerables".

He later gained the upper hand in the battle against Bu Ying, but due to carelessness, he was defeated by Bu Ying's "Nine Stars in a Row".

So this was Bu Ying's ultimate move! It completely overwhelmed the "Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows" technique he had been taught!

Just when he was in despair, the girl he loved, Bagelle, sacrificed herself to shield him from the ninth arrow shot by Bu Ying.

Yan Shuangying fell off a cliff and his life hung by a thread.

Afterwards, the newly established Anti-Japanese United Army rescued him and treated his injuries.

His injuries were healed, but his skills were rendered useless.

But Yan Shuangying was resolute and did not despair!

During the day, he worked hard to help his fellow villagers with farm work, and then he would get up at four in the morning to exercise.

Two months later, he was summoned by the organization.

It turns out that everything he did was being watched by the organization.

So the organization decided to give him a chance and invited him to join the "Super Soldier" program.

After several weeks of testing, he was injected with "Houyi Serum" and finally possessed the most perfect body that a human could possibly have.

But he also learned a fact: his teacher, who was also his enemy, "Archer" Bu Ying, was also a super soldier who had been injected with "Hou Yi Serum," but the organization he betrayed had betrayed the country.

Yan Shuangying knew that even in this state, he was still no match for Bu Ying.

So he temporarily put aside his personal hatred and focused on helping the Anti-Japanese United Army to suppress bandits.

That day, when he was wiping out a bandit stronghold, he saw that familiar figure again: Bu Ying!

It turned out that Bu Ying was representing the Japanese at this time, providing weapons to the bandits to fight against the Anti-Japanese United Army.

The two fought, and Yan Shuangying was defeated and injured, so he fled.

In a panic, he fled into a temple.

The monks at the temple took him in.

Bu Ying did not pursue them, but his puppet troops stormed into the temple.

At the critical moment, the abbot lightly tapped the wooden fish, and the group of martial monks who had been sitting cross-legged chanting scriptures turned around, drew their submachine guns, and opened fire on the puppet troops...

Yan Shuangying seemed to have discovered the truth.

So he focused on practicing his marksmanship, and combined it with his superhuman physique. After months of fighting, he was revered by the bandits and called "Half-man, Half-ghost, the number one marksman."

At this time, the organization received intelligence that Bu Ying had brought puppet troops to deliver weapons again.

Thus, the final battle broke out.

After a series of battles, Yan Shuangying and Bu Ying returned to the cliff.

Yan Shuangying's "Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows" was once again defeated by Bu Ying's "Nine Stars in a Row".

But this time, he pulled out a gun...

After saying his final line, "You have failed this country."

Yan Shuangying ended Bu Ying's sinful life with a single shot...

Closing the script again, Su Mulin murmured, "This is a movie plot I've never seen before..."

Although her rational mind told her that the script was utter nonsense.

But her emotions told her that this movie would be a hit...

For some reason, Su Mulin, who was used to watching traditional serious war films, felt... very cool after reading this script with its strong sense of individual heroism, combined with the lines that the author had deliberately written in.

Fang laughed.

This is a hodgepodge of a script that he made up himself. If it doesn't flop when it's filmed, he'll change his surname to Su Mulin.
