“Where’s the script? You told me to call you ‘Dad,’ I did. You told me to rub your back, I did. You told me to feed you milk tea, I did. If you don’t have a script, humph…”
Back at the hotel, Fan Ye pushed Fang Yuan into her room and clenched her fist.
“I’m sending it to your phone~”
Fang Yuan stopped teasing Fan Ye.
He casually lay down on Fan Ye’s bed.
He sent the script for "Eternal Love" to both Fan Ye and Yang Mi.
Fan Ye sat on the edge of the bed.
She clicked on the script’s electronic file and started flipping through it.
“Emperor Donghua, the Wing Lord, instigated war against the gods. The gods paid a heavy price to seal Donghua. In the same year, Crown Prince Yehua was born. Seven thousand years later, Donghua broke free from the seal. Bai Qian, the youngest daughter of the Qingqiu Fox Emperor, sealed Donghua again. She lost her power, memories, and appearance, falling into the mortal realm and meeting Yehua…”
Fan Ye silently read the synopsis.
Speaking of TV drama roles.
The kind she liked.
Either a powerful Empress like Wu Zetian.
Or a stunning legendary beauty like Yang Guifei or Daji.
As for ancient costume, idol, and Xianxia dramas.
She wasn’t really interested.
Fan Ye took off her shoes and got on the bed.
She leaned against the headboard and skimmed through the script.
“You’re pretty good, kid. You not only write realistic movies but also ancient costume fantasy dramas, and the script styles are completely different. Impressive, impressive~”
Fan Ye’s admiration for Fang Yuan grew threefold.
“You like it? Then will you film it?”
Fang Yuan was certain she wouldn’t take this project.
“No, no. The script quality is good, but it’s not suitable for me. The female lead’s personality is a bit mischievous. I think it’s perfect for Yang Mi. She acted in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3," so she has experience with Xianxia dramas.”
Fan Ye declined, as expected. “But I plan to invest in this drama. Now, young girls love this kind of ancient costume romance drama.
Yang Mi has been incredibly popular since she starred in "Palace." If she takes the lead role, the market response won’t be bad.”
“Of course, the script I write is definitely top-notch.”
As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking.
Yang Mi called a video chat.
“Fang Yuan! Quick, quick, quick! Ask your boss!”
“Will she take ‘Eternal Love’?”
“If she doesn’t take it, this project is mine!”
“I only saw up to the fifth episode, but I’m already hooked!”
“This drama is literally made for me!”
Yang Mi was incredibly excited.
Her signature youthful voice was highly recognizable.
Fan Ye leaned towards the camera and smiled. “Darling~, sister won’t compete with you. This drama is yours. How about our two companies co-produce it?”
“Amazing!!!”
Yang Mi cracked her voice. “Sister! I love you to death~”
“That… can I chime in?”
Fang Yuan had something to say.
Fan Ye felt something was off about Fang Yuan’s words. “Go ahead~”
“Which of you will buy my script? How much?”
He spent 12,999 hard-earned points to buy this script.
There should be some kind of return, right?
“Haha~” Yang Mi chuckled. “Sister, your Fang Yuan is quite humorous~”
“Humorous? You call this humorous?”
Fan Ye kicked Fang Yuan. “You’re embarrassing. You just saw the script, and you’re asking for a reward.”
“Honey, I swear, I’ll be driven crazy by this guy one day. You have no idea how annoying he can be.”
“He’s acting like a weirdo today, constantly provoking me.”
“He even made me call him ‘Dad.’ When have I, Fan Bingbing, ever suffered such humiliation?”
Hahahahahaha…
Yang Mi burst out laughing. “Fang Yuan made you call him ‘Dad’? Really? So brave?”
“Don’t mention it. My blood pressure skyrockets every time I think about it. This bastard is relying on his talent and showing me no respect. I’m truly speechless!”
Fan Ye got angrier the more she thought about it.
She squeezed Fang Yuan’s arm hard.
“Stop it, stop it. Let’s talk business. When are you guys planning to film ‘Eternal Love’?”
Fang Yuan grabbed Fan Ye’s hand.
Fan Ye asked Yang Mi’s opinion. “Honey, what do you think?”
“Of course, the sooner the better! We need to establish the project, plan and prepare, which will take at least three months. I’m currently filming the suspense movie ‘I Am a Witness.’ I can wrap up in two months, and I can start filming ‘Eternal Love’ right after.”
Yang Mi had just signed a gambling agreement.
She was in need of a big project.
“Eternal Love” was like a godsend for her.
“Okay, I’ll have my manager contact your Zeng Jia. They can meet and plan in detail: how to film, who to film with, who to cast. We’ll discuss it together.”
Fan Ye looked at Fang Yuan. “Do you want to act? The male lead is yours?”
“No, no, no. You didn’t read the script carefully. The male lead is a ‘Master’ role. He’s a bit older. It’s not suitable for a young guy like me.”
Fang Yuan analyzed rationally. “Besides, I’m a new, unknown actor. If I play the male lead, it will definitely affect the copyright revenue. The male lead needs a famous, seasoned actor. Hu Ge, Wallace Huo, Mark Chao, they all work.”
“Oh, I didn’t know you were so considerate~”
Fan Ye actually wanted to promote Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan was being realistic.
Yang Mi quickly said, “Then you’re not going to act? Bingbing just praised your acting yesterday. I want to work with you.”
“I’ll play the supporting male lead, Donghua Di Jun. Let your Dilraba play the second female lead, Bai Feng Jiu. I’ll work with Dilraba.”
Fang Yuan had already chosen a role for himself.
“Alright! Deal. You’re the screenwriter, you created the characters. You decide who plays each role.”
Yang Mi was full of anticipation.
The three of them chatted until late at night.
They had a great time.
