Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 923: Deeply Enchanted

Sheng Tang rarely chooses to stay up late.

For a female star, staying up late is a brutal affliction on her skin.

Tonight, however, is an exception for her.

She read a brilliantly crafted story.

It’s just that the entire story revolves around the male lead brothers, the older brother Liu Bai, the younger brother Liu Mu, their tomb-raiding team, and a few expendable friends they brought along.

In this story, female characters don’t play a major role, but there’s a mysterious woman throughout — Kunlun Goddess, whose burial snow jade is the main clue.

As the story progresses, Liu Bai gets caught in an illusion and meets the Kunlun Goddess, learning her story.

This character is very likable, appearing for only about ten minutes in total, yet her presence permeates the entire novel.

She has to be beautiful enough, breathtakingly beautiful, beauty never seen before and never to be surpassed, to be convincing.

There aren’t many recognized beauties in the market, Sheng Tang is considered one of them.

So, the small producer, without knowing what he’s thinking, threw this project proposal at Sheng Tang, perhaps not even realizing that he couldn’t afford her.

Sheng Tang thought instead: "This must be fate."

The bond between her and this story has already been established, or else she couldn’t explain why this producer would pitch the script to her.

Sheng Tang stayed up all night, but her spirit was exceptionally high.

At five in the morning, she went straight to knock on Gu Jiahui’s door.

Over there, Gu Jiahui was sleeping soundly, and it took him a while to get up and open the door, asking her what was going on.

"Gu Jiahui, didn’t you say last time you wanted to start a film production company?" Sheng Tang asked, "Let’s grab this IP!"

Gu Jiahui was utterly confused.

He hadn’t quite woken up, his voice a little hoarse: "In the middle of the night, what kind of madness is this?"

"It’s not the middle of the night, it’s five already."

Gu Jiahui: "..."

He almost wanted to strangle Sheng Tang.

Nonetheless, Sheng Tang was indeed in high spirits, despite the bloodshot eyes.

She handed the project proposal and novel to Gu Jiahui, then went to order takeout and brew coffee.

Half an hour later, Gu Jiahui and Sheng Tang were sitting in the study, each with a cup of coffee by their side.

Gu Jiahui had to drink half a cup before his mind began to function smoothly.

"Supernatural films have low market value," Gu Jiahui said, "You actually fancy this?"

"Yes."

"Same feeling as the time with ’Genius Girl’?" Gu Jiahui asked again.

Sheng Tang recalled the best tomb raiding film from the previous timeline with a box office of 1.7 billion, due to different times and economic developments, she felt it could double.

After all, films proven to be masterpieces in the previous timeline were all successful.

"Genius Girl" was released earlier, combined with monetary inflation and economic growth, it quintupled, so it’s reasonable to expect the tomb raiding film to double.

"Even better!" Sheng Tang said, "I think it can be made into a major IP!"

"Supernatural novels as a major IP?" Gu Jiahui sneered, "Are you out of your mind?"

Sheng Tang: "When I took on ’Genius Girl’, you said the same, many people did, but what happened?"

Gu Jiahui: "..."

"Let’s seize this!" Sheng Tang proposed, "Not just the film, we could sign the author, and this IP will be exclusively ours to develop, sequels could be made, even ten or eight films wouldn’t be a problem."

Gu Jiahui fell silent once again.

Sheng Tang’s words struck a chord with him.

Sheng Tang continued: "I can take the ’Genius Girl’ contract to the bank to secure a loan, let’s prepare the film first."

The box office shares of "Genius Girl" might arrive by July if that’s the soonest.

Now it’s just after the New Year, the initial filming and preparation for the movie might not require that much spending, it’s the post-production special effects that are costly.
