Lin Mu became interested as soon as he heard this, "Oh, tell me, which of Qiong Yao's works do you want to buy? Name a price, and I'll consider investing!"

"Buy the work? Invest?" Director Nanny Yu slyly smiled, "In my dictionary, there's never been the concept of buying works for investment!"

"What?" Zhou Xun's little mouth, just closed, opened wide again, "Shooting a Qiong Yao script without buying the copyright, how can you remake it? How can you adapt it?"

"Hehe, what is copyright? In my knowledge, this is just a very fake and insubstantial thing bought for tens of millions. In fact, I don't need Qiong Yao's copyright; I can still make something, even a work better than what Qiong Yao herself created!"

Zhou Xun wanted to argue something, but Lin Mu stepped forward, eyes wide, "Such a kindred spirit! Come, Director Yu, please have a seat!"

Indeed, just now Director Nanny Yu's words gave Lin Mu a feeling of having met a soulmate too late. Saving those tens of millions on official Qiong Yao works already made Lin Mu, a penny-pinching miser, immensely delighted!

Director Nanny Yu then boldly sat in the middle position. From receiving disdainful looks from Lin Mu and Zhou Xun at the entrance to now being treated as an honored guest, Yu Zheng thoroughly experienced the pleasure of successfully transforming into a tall, rich, and handsome man with a rich and beautiful woman!

"My plan is this: without deviating from Qiong Yao's originals, we can merge several of her works. For instance, we could combine her 'Plum Blossom Mark' and 'Between Water and Clouds' into one script. I've already named it — let's call it 'Palace Locks Liancheng'! Of course, just changing the name isn't enough; we can also make some modifications in details. For example, the plum blossom mark on the female lead's back in the original can be changed to a birthmark on the neck in our script! Of course, the general storyline remains unchanged, so it still retains the essence of a Qiong Yao drama. Fans and audiences will surely accept it!"

Lin Mu grew more excited as he listened, snapped a cigarette and lit it, then handed one to Nanny Yu, "You're damn brilliant!"

But after saying this, Lin Mu felt he was a bit rude, "Uh, Nanny Yu, oh no, Director Yu, continue talking, what plans do you have to make Miss Zhou Xun famous?"

"Well, it's like this," Director Nanny Yu leisurely took the special cigarette from Lin Mu, "My 'Palace Locks Liancheng' is divided into several parts, do you know several parts? Uh, doesn't matter, maybe you don't understand it at once, I'll explain it to you. This play is divided into several major sections; simply put, it depicts a family's rise and fall, from grandmother to mother, then to the heroine. The main line of this play is the six dreams of Qiong Yao dramas. My plan is like this: First, we employ Qiong Yao drama's most famous Xiaoyanzi, Zhao Wei, to play the grandmother's story, partnered with Lu Yi. Then, in the next part, I plan to use the domestic popular actress Fan Ruobing to play the mother, her partner is Xie Tingfeng. Finally, in the climax of the whole script, we let Miss Zhou Xun play the primary heroine role. I have also chosen her partner, who is currently the most popular domestic leading actor, Mr. Article…"

"Clap clap clap," before Nanny Yu finished speaking, Lin Mu couldn't wait to applaud, "That's damn brilliant! Nanny Yu, you're truly damn talented! That's settled, let's sign the contract immediately. I'll handle all the preliminary investments; you just need to ensure Miss Zhou Xun's storyline is polished to perfection!"

...

The script has been confirmed, the director found, and even the celebrity heavyweights have been finalized. Next, it's time to conduct the selection contest. As long as we choose a few particularly outstanding talents, through a series of operations, they are bound to become the star faces of Flying Dragon Film and Television!

Regarding the selection, Lin Mu has also set up a series of generous bonuses and fame policies. Whether for fame or bonuses, it's sure to attract much attention!

Thus, Lin Mu extensively promotes the Flying Dragon Film and Television selection in TV ads and major newspapers. Not only are there generous bonuses to be had, but also the chance to star in TV dramas! This contest held by Lin Mu caused a major sensation in Wancheng's entertainment circle!

However, as the saying goes, a big tree catches the wind. Where there is a market, there is competition, especially in Wancheng's relatively chaotic and fiercely competitive entertainment world. At this time, in the tenth-floor office of another film company in Wancheng, Han Entertainment Media Company, a wealthy-looking middle-aged man leaned on the boss chair, took a deep drag from the big cigar between his fingers, and slowly exhaled smoke.

He already heard about the establishment of Flying Dragon Film and Television Company and its selection for a TV drama. It is said that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Originally dominating Wancheng's film industry, Han Entertainment Media Company faced strong intrusion from Flying Dragon Film and Television, undoubtedly infringing on Han Entertainment Media Company's leading position in Wancheng!

This made Han Entertainment Media owner Hodou very uncomfortable, especially since Hodou just received news that the owner of Flying Dragon Film and Television is actually Lin Mu, the person who once ruined the life of his dear nephew Huo Jiang, which made Hodou more determined to deal with Flying Dragon Film and Television!

"Hmph, wanting to enter the entertainment industry in Wancheng without paying respects to me first, and just starting openly, where does that put Han Entertainment Media!" Hodou exhaled smoke and coldly snorted.

Han Entertainment Media, whether in Wancheng or nationally, is considered a top film industry giant, with close relationships with owners of other major film companies. Therefore, Hodou is confident he has enough strength to bring down Lin Mu!

Hodou heard that Lin Mu has already invited top domestic stars Fan Ruobing and Xie Tingfeng to star in the TV drama and is conducting national selection to choose actors for a TV show!

So, to counter Flying Dragon Film and Television, Hodou decided to start with the television drama sector. He utilized his connections within the entertainment industry to immediately contact the bosses of Jiahe and Huayu Entertainment Company, asking them to ensure their stars do not participate in the TV drama funded by Flying Dragon.

The bosses of Jiahe and Huayu understand that Hodou of Han Entertainment Media holds a very high position in the entertainment industry. They also know the strength comparison between Flying Dragon Film and Television and Han Entertainment Media in the entertainment circle. They believe there is no need to offend the traditional big company Han Entertainment Media for the fledgling Flying Dragon Film and Television!

To thrive in the entertainment industry, one must have certain connections. Flying Dragon Film and Television, though financially strong, can only be considered a new wealthy entity and currently lacks the vast network of Han Entertainment Media. So both Jiahe and Huayu have sided with Han Entertainment Media Company!
