She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

As the celebration banquet was coming to an end, Tang Wanhua called Su Lingxi to the second-floor terrace alone.

"Director Tang, do you have something to tell me?" Su Lingxi walked forward and keenly smelled a hint of something unusual.

Tang Wanhua paused for a moment and spoke carefully, "I have a friend who is a screenwriter. She just wrote an original script not long ago and is trying to find a way to bring this story to the big screen."

"I wonder if you are interested in this project?"

Original script? Su Lingxi's eyes lit up when he heard these four words, then he thought of something and frowned slightly.

Su Lingxi: "Director Tang, since your friend wants to film the script, has she found a basic team including a director and a screenwriter?"

"They did find one, but the director she found is very young." Tang Wanhua looked embarrassed, "So their project has not been able to start yet."

Su Lingxi fell silent when he heard this.

If a script wants to be made into a good movie, the key is not only the screenwriter but also the director. It can be said that many people who invest in film projects will first evaluate the director's ability and potential, because you can't tell anything from the text of the script alone. If the director's level is not good enough, no matter how good the script is, it will not be suitable for the big screen.

But Su Lingxi knew Tang Wanhua, so she would not come to tell her about this matter on purpose, so it would not be aimless.

Tang Wanhua lowered her head, took out a folder from her bag, and handed it to Su Lingxi.

"I have a script here. Maybe you can read it and then answer my questions." Tang Wanhua said, "I think you will like this story."

"If the project can be successfully launched, it will take your box office performance to a higher level."

Su Lingxi raised his eyebrows and looked at the document with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

There was a big title on the cover of the document - "Red Careerist".

It is undeniable that Su Lingxi was interested in the five words in the title at first sight.

Ambition, a word that is rarely used to describe women, as if women are not born to be ambitious.

But in fact, ambition is nothing more than a civilized cloak to cover up desires. Humans are animals, and as long as they are human, they will have desires, and ambitions will arise from them.

There is no difference between men and women in the pursuit of power and desire.

Su Lingxi took the documents and found a high stool to sit down.

This is a movie about women in the workplace. The plot outline briefly tells such a story: Tong Yan, a top student of the Law Department of Imperial Capital University, came to the famous law firm, Jun He Law Firm, for an interview during graduation season, and became an intern lawyer with excellent performance. After joining the company, Tong Yan was full of ambition to make a career, but after becoming a practicing lawyer, she was repeatedly harassed by Shen Yujie, a senior partner of the law firm, which made Tong Yan feel very aggrieved and worked harder to make achievements in the team.

Therefore, in the treacherous and unpredictable workplace, Tong Yan bravely fought against scheming colleagues, expanded her network through social events, and explored new sources of cases. Step by step, she became Shen Yujie's most trusted lawyer in the team, and finally became a law partner in her sixth year in the industry.

Judging from the script outline, this is an inspirational workplace film with a touch of comedy, focusing on three female characters of different ages and positions. The plot focuses on exploring women's self-growth, and the large number of indoor scenes indicates that the cost will not be too high.

Su Lingxi did a simple calculation and concluded that if the film remuneration was excluded, the money spent on filming could be controlled within 10 million.

As long as a director of above-average level can be found to shoot the film, this script can be made into a hit commercial film - with concentrated dramatic conflicts, one interlocking plot, and the thrill of the heroine leveling up and fighting monsters in the workplace, it is enough to catch the attention of most people.

"'Summer of Sixteen' is your debut work, but it's just the beginning. I think with your acting skills, you should try this project." Tang Wanhua raised her glass to her, "Don't you want to prove to the industry that you are also an actress with box office appeal?"

Su Lingxi was not overwhelmed by the compliments. She pursed her lips and showed a reserved smile: "You are right. The attraction of this script to me is beyond my expectations, but I still need you to answer my question truthfully - this project has not been successfully launched. Is it not just because the director is too young?"

For such a rare chick flick (Note: a female film, a film designed to attract female audiences in particular), if the only problem was insufficient funding and a director, the big names in the circle who have status, money and connections could help solve the problem. And they are also old enough to play the role of Shen Yujie. The only trouble is that the script needs to be changed to make Shen Yujie the first female lead. However, Shen Yujie occupies a large space in the script, and this modification is almost too simple to be worth mentioning.

Su Lingxi couldn't figure out what was preventing this script from being put on the big screen, and she had to get an accurate answer.

"The reason why this project has been shelved until now is because of the screenwriter herself." Tang Wanhua frowned, looking somewhat helpless, "Not only did she require that the film director must be Wei Jiao, she also required that Shen Man must play the role of Shen Yujie..."

"This kid has so many demands, it would be strange if he doesn't scare away other production companies."

Tang Wanhua pressed her brows, looking like she had a headache.

Su Lingxi thought it was normal. There is often only a fine line between genius and madness. Most artists throughout history have some quirks and cannot be viewed by ordinary people's standards.

However, Su Lingxi was very curious, why was screenwriter Ye so obsessed with having Shen Man play Shen Yujie?

Shen Man, once one of the famous 85 flowers, became famous at a young age. At the age of , she won the Best Actress Award at both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, becoming a household name. The following year, she was nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, becoming famous again. But unfortunately, there was no news about her in the following years. It was rumored that she returned to her family to take care of her husband and children. It was not until two years ago that her husband Lin Jinyuan was exposed for having an affair and returning home with multiple women and was caught by the media. This movie queen gradually appeared in front of people.

But in Su Lingxi's impression, Shen Man's screen image is mostly that of a pure girl. In the only black comedy film she starred in, she played an emotionally disturbed girl killer, who looks pure on the outside but vicious on the inside.

From this perspective, Shen Man does not seem to fit in with Shen Yujie's image of a shrewd and snobbish career woman.

And... Su Lingxi subtly glanced at the helpless yet somewhat loving expression on Tang Wanhua's face when she mentioned the screenwriter, and had a vague guess in her heart.
