Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 922: Tomb Robbing

Sheng Tang is about to start repeating her previous work again.

Filming is very enjoyable, but before filming, selecting scripts and preparing character analyses, this process is tedious.

Sheng Tang reads scripts at home, Wang Sisi and Cheng Lichuan curiously gather around.

"Do you always read by yourself?" Wang Sisi asks, "Doesn’t your agent help you?"

"He helps, but I feel at ease only after I’ve read them myself," Sheng Tang says.

Cheng Lichuan teases, "Then why do you need an agent? Is he doing assistant work?"

Sheng Tang laughs.

"That’s how agents are. At the start when you’re not famous, they need to use connections and even humble themselves to get you work opportunities.

Once you succeed, they can enjoy the dividends. It’s not fair to make agents do so much, he’s already done what he needs to do," Sheng Tang says.

Later, Wang Sisi tells Cheng Lichuan that Sheng Tang is a very tolerant person.

She quite likes Sheng Tang.

After the New Year, Gu Jiahui goes to headquarters again; there’s a project there he’s surprisingly involved in.

Cheng Lichuan doesn’t understand this and thinks it’s an easy task.

He always says, "My uncle has only Jiahuai as his son. Letting him get involved in company matters isn’t it to be expected? In the future, everything will be Jiahuai’s anyway."

But Sheng Tang feels it’s not like that.

For Gu Jiahui to reach where he is today, it should not have been easy.

Sheng Tang spends three days and reads over a hundred scripts.

Afterward, she feels a bit tired too.

"Better not think about finding a diamond in the rough, like ’Who Fears Who in the Workplace’, ’White Snake’. It wasn’t a blockbuster film in another timeline, yet wasn’t it quite good?" Sheng Tang sighs.

She should listen to Ke Fei and pick a high-quality, big-budget movie to take on, just like ’White Snake’.

However, she’s not entirely willing.

Just as she’s worn out, she finally finds a script.

’Kunlun Snow Jade in Tomb Raiding’.

Seeing this project, Sheng Tang’s eyes light up.

In her previous world, ’tomb raiding’ was a hot IP; back then, ’Candle in the Tomb’ was a hit all over the country and made the genre popular.

Later, many imitations emerged, turning this genre from a niche into a hot topic.

Countless works derived from this foundation were turned into TV dramas, web series, and movies, countless in number.

Sheng Tang remembers the best film having a box office of about 1.7 billion.

Yet in this world, there’s absolutely no tomb raiding-related genre.

A genre hidden underwater hasn’t been explored, hence the market doesn’t know its value.

Sheng Tang quickly goes to look at this project: "Adapted from the novel ’Kunlun Snow Jade’, it tells the story of the protagonist Liu Bai who obtains an ancestral feng shui tome. Using feng shui geomancy and other skills, he excavates undiscovered ancient tombs, thereby sparking a series of mysterious adventures."

It’s quite similar to the genre in Sheng Tang’s previous world.

She checks the production company and producer, both are unknown.

After some hesitation, Sheng Tang searches online for this book.

The book has minimal attention; Sheng Tang uses a delivery service to find a nearby bookstore with a physical copy and receives it half an hour later.

The book isn’t thick, roughly 150,000 words, so Sheng Tang quickly starts reading.

She previously read the first two volumes of ’Candle in the Tomb’ and has her own appreciation for such stories.

She pulls an all-nighter that night.

The whole story is very smooth, with a full-circle ending leaving suspense; it can become a major IP, continuously filmed.

The story itself is very interesting and professional; it’s just a pity that even good wine fears a deep alley. Due to inherent limitations, and without publishers willing to promote it, the author only released this one novel and then turned to write other ghost stories.
