Chapter 88: Chapter 88: I’ll give you 1 billion!

Translator: 549690339

“But there’s a problem, this concept is incredibly brilliant, but if we were to shoot it as it is, it would cost a tremendous amount of money!” Cao Zheng said seriously.

He was right.

The story Xue An wrote was about a woman who, in search of her original purpose, ascended to the ninth heaven to commit murder.

It featured a vast number of grand scenes.

If these were to be filmed, it would all be money!

Xue An smiled, “Tell me, how much do we need?”

Cao Zheng took a deep breath, furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then held up two fingers, “At the very least two hundred million!” Before Xue An could finish, a cold voice came from the entrance.

“I’ll give you one billion!”

Cao Zheng was stunned.

Following the voice, Qin Yu walked in.

She had rushed over overnight, and upon arriving at the hotel, learned that Xue An had gone to seek out a director. So, she hurried here without stopping and just so happened to hear Cao Zheng’s quote at the door, thus she blurted it out.

After Qin Yu walked in, she first nodded towards Xue An, “Mr. Xue!”

Xue An seemed to have anticipated her arrival and simply smiled faintly.

Qin Yu then turned to look at the dumbfounded Cao Zheng and spoke firmly, “One billion, what’s your account? I can transfer it now!” Cao Zheng was somewhat dumbfounded.

Is everyone in the movie business this generous now?

He remembered when he used to make films, he would often run out of money during production. Back then, he had to go from pillar to post to pull in investments.

Now, things were looking up!

The money was about to be deposited into his account even before shooting started?

However, Cao Zheng’s heart gradually filled with excitement.

Before today, he had actually given up hope completely.

He had even made plans that once his loved one died, he would jump from a building.

Because there was nothing in this world worth staying for!

But in the blink of an eye, his beloved had recovered, and he could return to his cherished profession.

And all of this was because of this man with the nonchalant demeanor!

At this moment, Cao Zheng made up his mind.

A man will die for those who appreciate him.

Since the other party had saved him, he would spare no effort, even to the point of extreme sacrifice, to make this movie the best it could be! Wang Wenjian opened Weibo, habitually checking Fan Mengxue’s page.

This had become a routine for him over the past year.

Wang Wenjian was a devoted fan of Fan Mengxue.

He appreciated the understated elegance she possessed.

She was nothing like the other gaudy and cheap characters in the entertainment industry.

Fan Mengxue had never been involved in any kind of messy headline-making scandals.

But recently, Fan Mengxue ran into trouble.

It was said she offended some wealthy young master, and as a result, she was blacklisted, even replaced in the film she was shooting.

This made Wang Wenjian furious.

But he was just an ordinary person; there was nothing much he could do. The only thing within his power was to speak up for Fan Mengxue in the fan club he had created.

That’s right.

Wang Wenjian was also an admin of a large fan group, where almost everyone was a fan of Fan Mengxue.

As soon as this incident surfaced, these usually inconspicuous fans all stood up, wanting to do something for their idol.

But their power was too feeble; they could not make any real difference.

Today, Wang Wenjian came to Fan Mengxue’s Weibo to leave a message, though he doubted it would be seen. Nonetheless, he wanted to tell Fan Mengxue.

There were still many fans silently supporting her behind the scenes!

Huh.

On the previously quiet Fan Mengxue’s Weibo, there suddenly appeared a new message.

Looking at the date, it was posted today!

Wang Wenjian felt a surge of excitement and immediately clicked on it.

The Weibo post was brief, with just a few words.

Tomorrow, a press conference awaits you!

A press conference?

What press conference?

Many question marks popped up in Wang Wenjian’s mind.

At the same time.

Fan Mengxue’s Weibo post, like a bomb, sent shockwaves throughout the entire entertainment industry.

Upon seeing it, many people had the same reaction.

Fan Mengxue was at the end of her rope!

Could it be that she was going to announce her retirement at the press conference?

That might be exactly the case!

Upon seeing the news, Hua Ruyue couldn’t help but sneer in satisfaction.

She had felt somewhat anxious over the past two days.

After all, not a single one of the men in black she had sent out had returned!

But looking at the situation now.

It seems like Fan Mengxue has chickened out!

Hmph, once you’re out of the picture, I’ll find an opportunity to destroy you!

Hua Ruyue thought bitterly.

Her jealousy for Fan Mengxue had seeped deep into her bones.

She wished nothing more than for Fan Mengxue to fall into disgrace immediately!

In just half a day, Fan Mengxue’s Weibo post had already reached the top spot on the trending searches list.

Countless people left comments below.

There were those who questioned, mocked, and teased, but even more were the encouragements from her fans!

Wang Wenjian was the first to message in the group.

“Who will come with me to support Mengxue at her press conference tomorrow?”

The group chat immediately exploded with responses.

“I’m going too!”

“And me!”

“I can’t go, but I can donate money!”

“Same here!”

Wang Wenjian, looking at these messages, couldn’t help but tear up.

Unlike the boisterous and domineering fans of other stars, Fan Mengxue’s fans were always gentle and understanding.

But when something actually happened, these lovely people would be the first to step forward.

And those reporters, like sharks smelling blood, flocked over.

Despite the early hour, the venue for the press conference was already packed.

Countless reporters set up their long and short cameras, all waiting for Fan Mengxue’s arrival.

Wang Wenjian and others were holding banners and slogans in the outfield.

Written on them were: Through wind and rain! Mengxue, we will stand by you!

Finally.

A stir went through the crowd.

Fan Mengxue appeared, dressed in a neatly tailored outfit, her face adorned with a touch of an elegant smile, gracefully walking up to the stage.

The flashlights below created a sea of light.

Countless reporters were eager to rush to the front.

“Ms. Fan, there are rumors that you’re retiring, is that true?”

“Ms. Fan, your movie was replaced by Hua Ruyue, and she claims that she pushed you out with her ability, what do you have to say about this?”

“Ms. Fan…”

A multitude of questions seemed to be about to drown Fan Mengxue.

At that moment, Han Yao walked over, shielding Fan Mengxue from the reporters as fierce as tigers and wolves, then she loudly said, “Please, quiet down.”

The venue gradually fell silent.

With a smile, Fan Mengxue said, “Thank you all for coming. Today’s press conference is not to announce my retirement, but to tell everyone that I… am preparing to shoot a new movie! ”

After a brief silence, the reporters went wild.

Fan Mengxue was going to shoot a movie?

How could that be?

The Xie Family had issued a statement; who would dare invest in her now?

Several times Han Yao called out loudly, but she was unable to calm the reporters down.

Among them, there were also some with ulterior motives deliberately squeezing forward, causing a complete disorder at the venue.

Just then, Xue An, who had been observing from backstage, strode to the front and said coldly, “Silence!”

His voice wasn’t loud, yet everyone heard it loud and clear.

Moreover, Xue An’s voice seemed to carry a magical power that made everyone pause.

Xue An then looked around the venue, and wherever his gaze fell, many people instinctively lowered their heads.

Xue An then said indifferently, “I know what you all want to ask. I am the investor for this new film.

The crowd stirred again.

This handsome and imposing man, he’s the investor?

What’s his relationship with Fan Mengxue then?

Xue An continued, “I decided to fund a movie simply because I heard there is a film currently in production called ‘War of the Gods’.”

Xue An paused, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “But in my opinion, gods are just more powerful beings, so I’m not interested in the war of gods.”

“The story I want to film is about defying the heavens and conquering fate, so the name of the movie will be…

“God Slayer!”
