Chapter 519: [519] This movie is sure to be a hit! _1
Just as Lou Wanyu was quietly calculating whom to target next, the office door was suddenly knocked.
“Come in.”
He suppressed the rage in his heart, regaining the demeanor befitting a president.
The door opened, and Wang Longbin, the deputy manager of the investment department, walked in carrying a document bag.
“Deputy Manager Wang, what’s the matter?” Lou Wanyu asked curiously.
“Mr. Lou, our investment department received a sample film and script from a small company yesterday, which I found quite impressive, and I’d like you to take a look,” said Wang Longbin as he placed the document bag on the table.
Lou Wanyu immediately frowned, “If you think it’s good, you can discuss it with Mr. Liu; there’s no need to bring it to me.”
The thing he hated the most was when people went over their superiors’ heads.
If everyone did so, wouldn’t he, the president, be worked to death?
Wang Longbin sighed helplessly, “Mr. Liu has already seen it and told me to throw it in the trash. I thought it was a pity, so…”
“So you came to tattle? Deputy Manager Wang, I hope you can focus on your work, not these kind of office politics.”
Lou Wanyu’s tone became somewhat stern. He loathed those who stabbed their superiors in the back and were unscrupulous in their efforts to climb the ranks.
Wang Longbin’s face turned white with fear, “Mr. Lou… I… that’s not what I meant, I genuinely have the company’s interests at heart…”
“Humph, don’t let it happen again. Go back to work,” Lou Wanyu said coldly, dismissing him.
Left with no choice, Wang Longbin reluctantly left, but he didn’t take the document bag with him.
After Wang Longbin left, Lou Wanyu glanced at the document bag but didn’t pay much attention to it.
Liu Chuanxiang, the manager of the investment department, was a college classmate of his. Although not particularly capable, he was reliable.
If even he had no confidence in this movie, then it was likely another dud and unworthy of investment.
Lou Wanyu then pushed the matter aside and started on other work.
Not until he felt a bit hungry did he have his assistant bring in some takeaway.
At that point, he noticed the document bag on his desk again.
With some free time while eating, he thought he might as well take a cursory look to see just how terrible the movie was.
He opened the document bag and pulled out a stack of the script, project proposal, contracts, and other materials, as well as a USB drive.
He tossed the project proposal and contracts aside and casually flipped through the script.
At first, he was just skimming, but inadvertently, he became engrossed in the plot.

He felt for the characters, joyous with their joys and sorrowful with their sorrows.
He even forgot to eat and started to read the script with full concentration.
When he finished the script, more than two hours had passed, and he hadn’t touched his food.
At the corners of his eyes were two lines of tears he didn’t even realize had fallen.
“This is a good script, such a good script!” he exclaimed.
He couldn’t remember the last time he had come across a script that touched his heart like this.
As someone who had struggled in the film industry for many years, his instincts told him that once this movie was made, it might not be a blockbuster, but it certainly wouldn’t bomb.
But why had such a good script been rejected by Liu Chuanxiang?
Could it be that the sample film was poorly made?
He knew that the final presentation of a movie is affected by many factors.
Sometimes, a good script, if burdened with a bad director, bad actors, or a bad investment party, would still result in a terrible film.
He picked up the project proposal and saw that the investor was a company named “Goosegrass Entertainment,” a name he had never heard before.
That made sense to him.
It was probably a lousy company that haphazardly took part in the shooting, leading to a poorly made sample film, resulting in Mr. Liu’s rejection.
Thinking this, he connected the USB drive to his computer and began to watch the sample film.
The folder contained several video files, which he randomly clicked on one.
Like the sample film Tang Feng had seen, it, too, was a piece without any post-production.
The sequence depicted officers from Public Affairs Hall seizing smuggled counterfeit Yindu medicine.
An elderly woman was begging for mercy from the officials.
“Sir, I have a favor to ask of you,” she pleaded.
“I… I just want to beg you… Please stop chasing after the Yindu medicine, okay?”
“I’ve been sick for three years. The genuine medicine that cost forty thousand a bottle, I’ve taken it for three years…”
“My house has been consumed, my family devastated by my illness… and now we finally have an affordable medicine, but you insist it’s counterfeit… Don’t we know whether the medicine is fake or not?”
“That medicine sells for just five hundred a bottle, and the merchants are hardly making a profit. Whose family doesn’t have someone fall ill?”
“Can you guarantee you’ll never get sick in your lifetime?”
“By taking him away, you’re sentencing us all to death.”
“I don’t want to die. I want to live… Is that okay?”
This sequence, just a monologue by the elderly lady, moved Lou Wanyu to tears.
Whether from the perspective of filming or the actress’s performance, the sequence was simply stunning.
He quickly clicked on the other video files, each intensely moving.
After watching them all, he came to a conclusion—this film was destined to be a hit!
How many years had it been since the film industry produced a gem like this with a realistic theme?
If the entire movie could maintain this quality, it would surely be a blockbuster.
Then, a wave of anger suddenly surged in him.
Whether the script, the proposal, or the sample film, this project was flawless.
Why, then, had Liu Chuanxiang turned away such a great movie?
He immediately picked up the phone and called his assistant, “Get Liu Chuanxiang from the investment department to come to my office.”
He wanted to ask Liu directly what the reason was.
But the assistant quickly replied that Liu Chuanxiang had gone out to discuss a project and was not in the company.
Lou Wanyu had to temporarily suppress his anger and wait for his return to settle the score.
Lucky for him, he had discovered the project in time, or else he would have missed a great opportunity.
At that thought, he immediately searched the proposal for Goosegrass Entertainment’s contact information and called them.
Hopefully, it wasn’t too late to mend matters.
