Chapter 76 It's better to develop his own...
"Love is Not Blind" is a very simple movie. With sufficient pre-production work and strong performances from the actors, filming was completed in just 45 days.
Lin Feng is personally quite satisfied with the film. It is a comprehensive upgrade based on Wen Zhang's version of "Love is Not Blind" from his previous life. Moreover, with the addition of Deng Shuang's theme song "A Little Happiness", Lin Feng believes that his version of "Love is Not Blind" can achieve better results than his previous life's version!
Moreover, during the entire filming process, Lin Feng discovered that his assistant Xu Wenjia indeed had the talent to be a producer. Not only was she able to coordinate various daily tasks such as on-site shooting and financial management, but she also brought in a sponsorship of 200 million yuan, which was the GG product placement.
In particular, the most important GG merchant, "Zhenai.com", has signed a GG premium agreement. If the box office of "Love is Not Blind" reaches 100 million yuan, the corresponding GG fee will increase by another 33 million yuan.
Internet companies have money, and they dare to burn it!
Xu Wenjia performed well this time, and Lin Feng sincerely praised her, saying, "Wenjia, you really have a talent for producing! How did you come up with this agreement?"
"I got all the sponsorships by using your name. As for that GG box office premium agreement, I have faith in you. You never fight a battle you're not prepared for. Last time, even your art film grossed over 100 million, so how could this commercial film not gross over 100 million?"
"Even so, you did a great job. Director Xue Xiaolu was very satisfied with your production this time. I also think you have a talent in this area. From now on, I will entrust the production work to you for the films and TV series that I invest in."
"Thank you, boss!"
"That's a good title!"

After "Love is Not Blind" ended, Raymond Lam attended a few brand events and then made a cameo appearance in two scenes of "Palace 33". After all, Yu Zheng had been kind to him, and he felt he had to repay him.
Of course, Lin Feng's cameo appearance this time is with Yang Mi, after all, the two of them are also a couple in this second installment of "Palace 2".
When Lin Feng arrived, Yang Mi had not yet arrived; he met Yu Zheng first.
Yu Zheng was in high spirits this time. Previously, he could only be considered to have achieved some success in the industry. However, the great success of "Palace" not only made Lin Feng and Yang Mi famous, but also completely launched "Yu Zheng Studio".
Moreover, Yu Zheng is currently preparing to upgrade "Yu Zheng Studio" into a film and television company. He has already thought of a name, "Huanyu Film and Television". However, this name is somewhat similar to "Huanrui Film and Television". Could it be that he copied it as well?
Yu Zheng is indeed very powerful now, with a wide network of connections. For this drama, "Palace 2," he invited many big names and promising stars to make cameo appearances. Putting aside everything else, just look at the beautiful women in it!
Such as: Bai Bing, Shu Chang, Yang Rong, Zhao Liying, Hai Lu, Xue Jianing, Li Man, Zhang Jiani, Sun Feifei, plus Yang Mi who did not arrive, all of them are well-known beauties in the entertainment industry.
But what's with Shu Chang, who plays the "second female lead"? Why is she only looking at me? Do I owe her money? Lin Feng has never had any dealings with her before, which he finds very confusing.
The reason Shu Chang glanced at Lin Feng a few more times was because she had been hearing his name frequently lately, not on television, but from her best friend Liu Yifei.
This was the first time Shu Chang had ever seen Liu Yifei so attentive to a man; in fact, she had seen Liu Yifei watching Lin Feng's videos and following his activities more than once.
This is still the "fairy sister" she knows. This is completely a "fairy descending to earth" who has fallen in love with mortals!
Therefore, Shu Chang was very curious about Lin Feng, the man who could make Liu Yifei's heart flutter. When Lin Feng made a cameo appearance, Shu Chang couldn't help but take a few more glances. This Lin Feng is just a little more handsome, taller, and more charming, nothing special!
What methods did Lin Feng use to make Liu Yifei fall for him? Shu Chang didn't quite understand.
Just then, Yu Zheng arrived, and when he met Lin Feng, he was accompanied by someone else, Chen Xiao, an artist he had just signed.
Chen Xiao is only one year older than Lin Feng. He's handsome, a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, and has decent acting skills. He just terminated his contract with Huayi Brothers, so he's a very good candidate in all aspects.
Then Yu Zheng signed him because he saw a resemblance to Lin Feng in Chen Xiao, like a "miniature version" of Lin Feng. Since he couldn't sign Lin Feng, he signed someone similar to Lin Feng.
Chen Xiao also plays the role of "Nineteenth Prince" in "Palace 2: The Lock of Pearl Screen". Upon meeting, Chen Xiao greeted Lin Feng very politely, saying, "Hello, Teacher Lin Feng! Please guide me in the future!"
"We're the same age, no need to be so polite. We'll have opportunities to collaborate."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yu Zheng pulled Lin Feng aside and revealed his purpose.
"Lin Feng, actually I'd like to work with you again. Last time, 'Palace' wasn't very satisfying, and the female lead's role was too prominent. If we work together again, I'll definitely prepare a drama where you're the male lead!"
There are just too few suitable scripts right now. After thinking it over, the only one that seems right is Huanrui's "Zhu Xian". It's not only a male-centric drama, but also a top-tier fantasy production. Only a novel of this caliber is suitable for you!
I've mentioned it to Ms. Zhong of H&R Century Pictures several times before, and even publicly stated my intentions, but she hasn't shown much interest. However, she would really like you to act in "Zhu Xian".
I think you're perfect for the role of Zhang Xiaofan, the male lead in "Zhu Xian," and I've almost finished developing the script. If you think it's suitable, we can talk to Huanrui together about a collaboration!
Yu Zheng has always been nostalgic for "Zhu Xian," but Huanrui Media just won't budge.
Huanrui owns many big IPs and has invested in all of Yu Zheng's film and television dramas, including this "Palace 2". However, Huanrui just won't let Yu Zheng touch its IP copyrights. It's just waiting for the day when it can completely break away from Yu Zheng and go it alone!
Yu Zheng hadn't noticed yet, but Lin Feng didn't point it out. He simply explained it subtly:
"Mr. Yu, do you know why Ms. Zhong agreed to let me act in 'Zhu Xian'? Actually, she had invited me before and mentioned this matter, but the condition was that I had to join Huanrui. Now you know why I didn't act in it!"
"I see! Huanrui's idea is excellent! Then we're a bit disappointed. Let's have another chance to collaborate in the future." Yu Zheng could only express his regret in the end.
The main reason Lin Feng refused, besides the franchise offer, was the sheer size of the "Zhu Xian" IP and its massive fanbase. Any misstep could easily provoke discontent among the readers.
In her previous life, Yang Zi, who was known as the "top of the four ordinary women," was criticized by many book fans for playing the role of "Lu Xueqi"!
Lin Feng doesn't yet have the ability to adapt "Zhu Xian." Putting everything else aside, the role of "Lu Xueqi" alone is not a good choice. Besides Liu Yifei, Lin Feng can't think of anyone more suitable.
Yang Zi is indeed too "ordinary girl", Yang Ying's acting skills are too poor, and Li Xin in the movie version of "Zhu Xian" seems good, but the overall effect presented in the end seems not as good as Yang Zi's version!
The least doubtful one is Zhao Liying, who plays "Biyao". If it's a combination of "Lin Feng + Liu Yifei + Zhao Liying", it's still acceptable. If they follow the original plot step by step, the final result should be good.
However, these were just Lin Feng's own thoughts. Instead of racking his brains to adapt "Zhu Xian", he would rather develop his own copyrighted "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
After they left, Lin Feng thought about it and decided that once "Love is Not Blind" was a success, he could invest in and film "Swords of Legends," since producing TV series is easier than producing movies.
However, some tasks can be done in advance.
