In the entertainment industry, I only like making movies.

Chapter 68 Fishing Shadows

……

Five thousand years after Journey to the West.

The Heavenly Court is vast and boundless, where immortals and gods observe the heavens and comprehend the Dao, roaming freely in the void and attaining great freedom and unrestrained joy.

Demons and monsters have infiltrated the human realm, wreaking havoc on all living beings.

Fortunately, the ancient goddess Nuwa left behind protective measures. When the Holy Mother created the human race, she established a guardian for the human race.

Over millions of years, in the process of protecting the human race time and time again, the guardian clan was wiped out, leaving only a few dozen people.

Jin Fengyi.

The most talented descendant of the contemporary Guardian Clan, she defeated all the younger generation in the clan as a woman and became the Holy Maiden of the Guardian Clan.

In a time of chaos caused by demons and monsters, the Golden Phoenix, following the clan chief's decree, was sent out to investigate the human world and vanquish demons.

The story of "The King of Kung Fu" begins here.

Demons are not scary; what is scary is the invasion of external demons.

The universe is vast, containing countless heavens and realms, and an endless sky.

Under the instruction of their progenitor Satan, the demons of hell wantonly invaded the heavens (planetary planets) and even extended their demonic tentacles into the human world (Earth).

The demons sought out the reclusive monsters, seized the Heart of the World, and attempted to control the laws of the human world through it, aiming to overthrow the entire human realm (both Eastern and Western worlds).

During her exploration of the human world, Jin Fengyi encounters Hall Xingrui, a Westerner who has come to the East seeking the elixir of immortality.

The two exchanged information and learned that not only were demons rampant in the Eastern world, but the Western world was also invaded by demons, causing suffering to all living beings and displaced civilians.

Hall Xingrui admired Eastern culture from a young age and was obsessed with Eastern myths and legends. He lamented that if the Monkey King were alive, he would surely be able to sweep away the demons and save the world.

Jin Feng's last words: The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, dissatisfied with the strict rules and regulations of Buddhism, secretly descended to the mortal realm to travel the world, and is likely to be playing among humans in some corner of the world.

Hall Singrei also recalled a story he had heard as a child. An old man said that he had seen an extremely beautiful monkey on the west coast with eyes that shone with divine light. The monkey wore divine armor and held a seven-colored iron rod. It killed an eight-horned monster at sea.

but..

That was a story from over two hundred years ago. Whether the Great Sage is still alive or not, no one knows.

The two then decided to find the Great Sage and join forces to eliminate the demon.

Along the way, the two trekked through mountains and rivers. Jin Fengyi, guided by telepathy, found a peach orchard on the west coast and discovered the long-forgotten seven-colored iron rod.

The Great Sage was nowhere to be found, and in the Peach Garden there was only a drunkard who loved to eat peaches and drank heavily all day long.

Meanwhile, the demons and monsters also learned that the Great Sage was in the human world. In order to prevent the Great Sage from disrupting their conspiracy, they prepared to strike first and eliminate their great enemy in advance.

The demons said: When the Great Sage first came to the human world, they poisoned him with a secret celestial poison.

The longer it goes on, the deeper the poisoning becomes, and one must drink alcohol every day to activate the divine power.

On the west coast of Taoyuan, demons attack, and a great battle ensues. At the critical moment, a Buddhist monk and a Western missionary appear to help.

The five defeated the demon, and after some discussion, they decided to work together to eliminate the demon and save all living beings.

However, the demons and monsters are powerful, and only by finding an extremely powerful magic weapon can they have a chance of winning.

The group looked at the seven-colored iron rod, but unfortunately, the Great Sage's divine power was less than one percent, making it difficult to unleash the full power of the seven-colored iron rod.

The missionary recalled a legend that the world contained a heart, called the Heart of the World, which possessed infinite divine power and could sweep away the might of all demons.

Jin Fengyi took out a copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and based on the descriptions in the book, the group found a place that could be considered the center of the world.

The group set off, unaware that demons and monsters were following them.

What they didn't know was that the missionary was a demon in disguise, intending to get a closer look at the Great Sage's strength and to use Jin Fengyi's telepathy to find the Heart of the World.

A great war between good and evil, involving the entire world and affecting hundreds of millions of ordinary people, is about to begin.

The story continues...

*Slap slap slap...*

With focused expression, Fang Yi's thoughts flowed freely, and his fingers flew across the page as he wrote a brand new synopsis for the story of "King of Kung Fu" in one go.

.......

The next day.

Fang Yi printed out the story and drove to China Film Group.

It would be difficult for him alone to persuade Hua Yi, Chen Jingfei, and others to acquire shares in Hongxingwu.

There needs to be a supporting element, and the director of "The Forbidden Kingdom" is a perfect fit.

But becoming the director of a $7000 million production is no easy feat; you need someone to help you.

They have to be true industry leaders!

As for the candidates...

Fang Yi had notified Chen Ran in advance about China Film Group, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw her waiting at the entrance of the lobby.

"Sister Chen!"

Fang Yi jogged a few steps forward, grasped Chen Ran's hand, and said with a smile, "How could I let you come to greet me personally? I'm so sorry."

"Director Fang, you're too kind. It's my pleasure."

"Let's go, Chairman Han is waiting for you."

Chen Ran glanced at him and said with a hint of curiosity.

After receiving Fang Yi's call saying he was coming to her door, she told Han Sanping, guessing that he had something important to say.

After all, the "Taken" team is flying to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, and she will be going with them.

If it wasn't important, Fang Yi could have talked to her on the way instead of meeting Chairman Han.

Chen Ran suppressed her thoughts and led Fang Yi to the elevator door.

A moment later, the elevator doors opened.

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses came out, carrying a briefcase and looking gloomy.

The three of them were slightly taken aback when they met face to face!

Oh...

Isn't this Lao Lu? You're here at China Film Group to beg for donations too!

Fang Yi's eyes lit up, and he extended his hand, saying, "Senior Brother Lu, it's been a long time."

Screw you, I don't want to see you.

Lu Chuan, with a gloomy face, didn't look at Fang Yi, but forced a smile to greet Chen Ran.

"Director Chen, I'll head back now. Could you please speak to Chairman Han for me?"

With that, Lu Chuan stepped out of the elevator and quickly left.

Fang Yi glanced at his retreating figure and said, "Is my senior brother here today to seek investment from China Film Group?"

"Yes, it's a war-themed film, and Chairman Han doesn't think it's a good one."

Chen Ran made a comment but didn't say anything more.

Fang Yi smiled to himself, thinking to himself that Lu Chuan was still persistent. After being politely rejected by the two kings, he was trying to fool Zhongying again.

Not a son of man!

"Hello, Chairman Han."

"Director Fang is here. Please have a seat. Xiao Yun, bring out the Da Hong Pao tea that Director Lin gave me last time."

In the office, Fang Yi greeted Chen Ran respectfully and followed her to the sofa area to sit down.

Han Sanping asked his secretary to make tea, then took out cigarettes and came over with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries...

The secretary made tea and left, leaving only three people in the office.

Han Sanping smoked a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "The crew of 'Taken' is flying to Hong Kong Island immediately. Chen Ran will be going with them. If there's anything that needs to be done during filming, just let Director Fang know. She will be responsible for coordinating with Sil-Metropole Organisation."

"Understood, thank you, Chairman Han."

Fang Yi offered the tea as thanks, took a sip, and found the tea to be fragrant and delicious, similar to the tea brewed by Lin Yi.

After a few seconds of thought, he spoke, "Chairman Han, Director Chen, have you both heard of the major project that Huayi is preparing?"

"What big project, the [Night Banquet]?"

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow, glanced at Han Sanping in the main seat, and asked in a relaxed tone.

This movie has already started filming?

Don't say China Film Group has no ideas; even if they did, it would be too late.

"It's not 'The Banquet'."

Fang Yi shook his head and slowly told the two what he knew.

"As far as I know, Huayi Brothers has approached Casey Silver Productions, Columbia Pictures, and Relativity Media, and is preparing to collaborate with one or two of these companies to create a large-scale co-production."

"In addition, Jackie Chan has agreed to star in the film, and Huayi Brothers is currently in contact with Jet Li, trying to get the two kung fu superstars to collaborate on a blockbuster film."

"I've read the first draft of the script; it's just so-so, but the production budget is very generous."

"Oh, how much is Huayi's initial budget?"

Chairman Han couldn't sit still any longer and asked in a deep voice, stirring up his deep-seated love for blockbusters.

"At least $7000 million!"

Fang Yi announced a number and then fell silent.

A rapid breathing sound and a gasp of cold air were heard at the same time.

Han Sanping and Chen Ran were both shocked by this sudden news.

Han Sanping, in particular, suddenly became incredibly sharp in his eyes.

Holy crap!

Hua Yi is really good at hiding his true intentions!
