Although Jiujiu's video was only three minutes long, it shocked Sean and his manager.
Although there had been a few movies with good special effects in the past few years, they were still the same.
Although they claimed that most of the movies were produced by a domestic team, how could industry insiders not know that the best special effects were done by a foreign team?
Most of what they claimed was just a cover-up of the concept.
Although Jiujiu's video was only three minutes long, it was already better than the foreign special effects team.
If they could maintain this standard, when the movie was released, it would be promoted as the best special effects in the country. Coupled with the hype of Director Zhang and Sean working together again, it would definitely attract a large number of people to the cinema. They would definitely make a lot of money. Even if the box office wouldn't be a hit, it wouldn't be low either.
His manager wanted to make money, so he instantly fell silent.
Sean was already prepared to take on this movie. After watching the special effects, he was even more satisfied and quickly signed the contract.
After signing the contract, it was time to prepare.
As this movie was a martial arts drama with a Xuanhuan theme, it was naturally better to shoot in an antique location.
After Jiujiu asked Steamed Bun to find a suitable location for filming, she brought Director Zhang to inspect it. Both of them felt that it was a good place, so they decided on the location.
However, when they talked about the casting, Director Zhang turned to Jiujiu and said, "Do you have a suitable candidate for the female lead, Xiao Xue?"
Director Zhang's words reminded Jiujiu that she hadn't told Director Zhang that she was going to be the female lead.
Jiujiu laughed and asked, "What do you think, Director Zhang?"
"There are many good-looking actresses in the industry, but after thinking about it carefully, I still can't figure out who is more suitable for the role of Xiao Xue. When you screenwriters write the script, you must have a rough idea of the main character's appearance and personality. Can you help me think of someone in the industry who is more suitable for Xiao Xue?"
As Director Zhang liked Jiujiu's script very much and this was the second time he and Xiao En had worked together, Director Zhang placed extra importance on this shoot. Even if he couldn't win a big award, he wanted to set a box office record.
Therefore, Director Zhang was extra careful when it came to casting.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. "What does Director Zhang think of me?"
"You?" Director Zhang was stunned by Jiujiu's words. He turned to look at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was indeed good-looking and had a good temperament. But, Jiujiu was too flirtatious. Plus, wasn't she a screenwriter? Why do you want to be an actress now?
Are people so talented these days?
"To be honest, I actually like acting a lot. If Director Zhang doesn't mind, I can audition for the role on the spot."
Director Zhang was not very satisfied with Jiujiu, but because she was an investor and editor, and he could not find a suitable candidate to play Xiao Xue in the industry, he decided to give it a try. "Then you can act out the scene where Xiao Xue is confronted by Jiujiu after her identity is discovered."
The script was about a feud between two generations.
The female lead, Xiao Xue, was the daughter of the leader of the Demon Sect, Shangguan Yue, and the Holy Maiden of the Holy Maiden Sect, Sheng Yue.
The leader of the Demon Sect, Shangguan Yue, was extremely handsome, but he was cruel and merciless. He was notorious in the martial arts world.
On the other hand, the Holy Maiden, Sheng Yue, was not only beautiful, she also had the heart of a Bodhisattva. She was famous in the martial arts world and had countless suitors.
Just when everyone thought that Sheng Yue would marry the son of the leader of the martial arts world, Nangong Xuan, she married Shangguan Yue.
Sheng Yue had countless admirers, but who would have thought that Sheng Yue would marry Shangguan Yue in the end?
The righteous people and the Demon Sect had a deep grudge against each other. Sheng Yue and Shangguan Yue's relationship only intensified the conflict.
On the day that Sheng Yue gave birth to Xiao Xue, the righteous people gathered to attack the Demon Sect.
Shangguan Yue was worried about his wife who was in labor and did not have the heart to fight. As a result, more than half of the Demon Sect members were killed. Sheng Yue also had a difficult labor due to the shock. After giving birth to Xiao Xue, she passed away.
Before Shangguan Yue met Sheng Yue, he had done many bad things. But after marrying Sheng Yue, he gave up the darkness and turned to kindness. He even wanted to help others.
But what did his kindness get in return?
Not only did he not receive a good reward for his good deeds, but he also received the tragic death of his wife and child. In a fit of anger, Shangguan Yue swore on Sheng Yue's corpse that he would kill all the martial artists who besieged the Demon Sect that day to avenge Sheng Yue.
As for Xiao Xue, she inherited Shangguan Yue's talent in martial arts. With Shangguan Yue's careful guidance, she was already a first-rate expert at the age of sixteen.
During one of her missions, Xiao Xue met Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu was the only son of the leader of the martial arts world, Nangong Xuan.
Back then, Nangong Xuan was one of Sheng Yue's many suitors, and he was the most famous one.
Unfortunately, King Xiang had the heart, but the goddess did not.
Sheng Yue turned a blind eye to his suitors. She even often advised him not to waste his time on her, which made Nangong Xuan very distressed.
Then, Sheng Yue met Shangguan Yue, married him, and had a child.
On the day of Sheng Yue and Shangguan Yue's wedding, Nangong Xuan completely gave up and married the wife his parents had chosen for him. Then, Nangong Yu was born.
Unlike Xiao Xue who wanted to avenge his mother, Sheng Yue, Nangong Yu was born to eradicate the Demon Sect and bring peace to the martial arts world.
When Xiao Xue met Nangong Yu during her mission, Xiao Xue's identity was a courtesan in a brothel, and Nangong Yu was someone who was brought to the brothel by a friend.
Nangong Yu fell in love with Xiao Xue at first sight, and spent a lot of money just to talk to Xiao Xue.
In the ten years before Xiao Xue met, although there were people who loved her, they all wanted her body. There had never been anyone who loved her so purely. Thus, Xiao Xue was moved.
Nangong Yu had always liked Xiao Xue. Seeing Xiao Xue so charming, she was even happier. Gradually, she had the idea of marrying a wife and having children.
However, Xiao Xue was not the pitiful girl that Nangong Yu thought she was. She was an avenger with a mission.
Very quickly, Xiao Xue killed someone in order to complete her mission. The person that Xiao Xue wanted to kill was the person that Nangong Yu wanted to protect. Thus, the two people who used to love each other confronted each other.
Seeing that the person who was fighting with her was the Xiao Xue that she had been longing for, Nangong Yu's face was full of surprise. "Xiao Xue, why is it you?"
Thinking about the scene that she had described, Jiujiu looked ahead as if Nangong Yu was standing in front of her. At first, her eyes were evasive, but then they became stubborn and she said, "So what if it's me? Do you want to kill me?"
Jiujiu's words caused Nangong Yu to hesitate.
Nangong Yu was silent for a moment, and then she said softly, "Xiao Xue, you have your difficulties, right?"
"Difficulties?" Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "If I don't have my difficulties, what will you do to me?"
Nangong Yu licked her dry lips and said softly, "Xiao Xue, the sea of bitterness is boundless. As long as you stop, I'll treat it as if nothing happened. If you come back with me, I'll beg father to agree to our marriage."
