Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Self-created and self-performed!

This is an even more impressive skill than a singer creating and performing their own songs.

Writing a novel takes more than three to five months, and writing a drama series takes more than a day or two. Nie Mingzhu stared at Jiangxi Heng in horror, as if he were getting to know his young friend all over again.

Xu Wenyi closed her laptop, ultimately swallowing the words that would ruin the atmosphere.

Offending an actor is no big deal, but offending a screenwriter can cause endless trouble, and Jiangxi Heng is now both an actor and a screenwriter.

From her professional perspective, it's not hard to see that as long as "Life and Death Loop" is filmed normally and nothing unexpected goes wrong, Jiangxi Heng can break into the screenwriting world with this work.

Xu Wenyi opened the contract and said, "The role of a police officer is acceptable. However, Mingzhu is currently filming and won't have time until a month later. Shall we talk about the remuneration now?"

Jiangxi Heng nodded: "Because it's a web series, it's expected to have only 10 episodes. Nie Mingzhu's scenes will be spread across three of those episodes. She doesn't have many lines. If all goes well, it can be filmed in three days. I'll give Nie Mingzhu 300,000 yuan based on her daily rate of 100,000 yuan. I'll transfer the money on the day filming wraps up."

His gaze swept over the shrewd agent and the bewildered Nie Mingzhu, and he said in a slightly deep voice, "After all, a small temple cannot accommodate a great Buddha. I need to take the risk of Nie Mingzhu quitting the performance halfway through."

Still astonished by the 300,000 yuan figure, Nie Mingzhu slammed his fist on the table: "You're insulting my professional ethics!"

Jiangxi Heng laughed and said, "It's not you, it's Fengmang Entertainment."

Nie Mingzhu paused. If Fengmang Entertainment interfered, there was really nothing he could do. So he turned and looked at Xu Wenyi with a pitiful gaze.

Xu Wenyi couldn't stand it anymore: "Alright, I'll handle it. Three days, right? I'll arrange three days for Mingzhu."

As for whether the payment would be made sooner or later, she didn't care. If they defaulted, she could just sue them and ruin the production team.

She was just a little surprised that Zhengxue Entertainment, which had already gone bankrupt—no, it should be called Huanyu Entertainment now—would actually pay Nie Mingzhu 300,000 yuan for his film, at the standard price or even higher.

This Jiangxi Heng is nothing like his parents, who were narrow-minded, short-sighted, and insatiably greedy.

After everything was settled, Xu Wenyi led Nie Mingzhu out of the world. Only then did Nie Mingzhu realize something: "This is a web series? Sis, you actually let me film a web series?"

Xu Wenyi gestured to her assistant to drive, saying, "The script is good, the investment is low, and it's a web series you haven't worked on before. You've been focusing on historical romance dramas and modern romance dramas all these years, so taking on a web series would be a good idea."

"What's so good about it?" Nie Mingzhu pressed for an answer.

Xu Wenyi rolled her eyes: "The company has already fixed your image to a certain extent. You're always the kind of young general, prince, younger wolf dog, or sports student... This won't help you change your image in the long run. Even though some haters will criticize you for taking on web dramas and pushing your image downwards, with Jiangxi Heng around, your popularity won't be low."

Seemingly remembering something, Xu Wenyi waved her hand, letting Nie Mingzhu play by himself.

She needs to find the marketing accounts she's been working with to prepare for the upcoming collaboration between the "Gemini" stars.

Nie Mingzhu sat alone in the back seat, arms outstretched, legs crossed, like a young master.

He was still thinking about the 300,000 yuan paycheck.

What a coincidence! He had previously invested 300,000 yuan in Jiangxi Heng, and this guy returned the same amount as his acting fee. If it weren't for the fact that not many people knew about his alternate account, Nie Mingzhu would have almost thought he had been exposed.

"Tsk, forget about it. Let's hurry up and finish filming that prince drama. This kind of lovey-dovey, gay-themed plot is disgusting. When is the company going to take on some normal dramas?"

Nie Mingzhu flipped open the script he had read several times and muttered, "It's not as good as Jiangxi Heng's."

……

After Xu Wenyi and Nie Mingzhu left, Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid making it seem like Universal Entertainment has few employees, the two of them are pretending to be staff.

They were sitting right next to me just now. One of them was helping to serve tea and water, acting as President Jiang's assistant, and the other was helping to print and hand out papers, acting as a working-class person.

He didn't dare utter a single word the entire time, even though Jiangxi Heng had said beforehand, "Relax, if we can't reach an agreement, then forget it."

However, these two were afraid that they might say something they shouldn't have, which would affect Jiangxi Heng's negotiations. In this respect, they were similar to Nie Mingzhu in their approach.

Because of Fang Weiyang's ordinary appearance and Chi Ziyou's merely cute appearance, Xu Wenyi and Nie Mingzhu didn't really notice the two of them.

"Heng-ge, is it done?" Chi Ziyou asked excitedly.

Jiangxi Heng nodded as he opened Weibo.

Fang Weiyang said in a daze, "I'm going to film a movie with Nie Mingzhu..."

Jiangxi Heng looked up at him and laughed, "You still say you're not his fan?"

Fang Weiyang paused awkwardly, then said, "...Really, no."

Chi Ziyou poured out the tea they had drunk, washed the cups, and laughed: "We won't laugh at you since you're a fan. Nie Mingzhu is really good. He's so handsome, and his acting is also very good. The dramas he's in are all quite good."

Fang Weiyang retorted instinctively, "Handsome? I think Heng-ge is more handsome, right?"

Jiangxi Heng, who is currently setting up the official Weibo account for the drama series: "...Ah, thank you?"

His eyes were glued to the screen, multitasking as he created the official Weibo account for "Life and Death Loop" and posted his first message: "[Produced by Universal Entertainment, the web series "Life and Death Loop" will meet everyone in three months.]"

Then it suddenly occurred to me that the original company's official Weibo account had not been updated.

After switching accounts and changing 【Zhengxue Entertainment】 to 【Huanyu Entertainment】, they released another statement, simply explaining the bankruptcy, debts, recruitment, and filming of their new drama in a single Weibo post.

The fans who follow this account are basically die-hard fans of Jiangxi Heng.

For example, Guo Licheng saw the Weibo post from someone she was following and was a little unfamiliar with the account, wondering when she had followed "[Huanyu Entertainment]". When she clicked in, she was surprised to find that it was actually Hengbao's crappy company.

Has Hengbao changed companies? Is she finally getting rid of that unprofessional and unqualified company? Great news!

No, it looks like the company changed its name?

Longtime fans are aware of the original owner's family-run workshop. Even if they dislike Zhengxue, they can't criticize their idol's parents. They could only suppress their anger before, but now that they see the situation has changed, they quickly try to find out what happened.

This exposé revealed the truth behind the company's bankruptcy: the heartless parents abandoned their child and went abroad, leaving behind millions in debt, all of which was laid bare in the comments section.

The fans were absolutely furious.

How can there be such parents in the world? I thought they were just unprofessional, but it turns out they never treated Hengbao like a son at all.

[Use him when you're making money, abandon him when you're losing money—it turns out there really are parents in this world who don't love their children!]

What sins did Jiangxi Heng commit to deserve such parents?
