836: Chapter 836: Bai Fengling’s Ambition!

Bai Fengling was bewildered.

This moment.

Numerous questions popped up in Bai Fengling’s mind.

Wu Jie noticed Bai Fengling’s unusual behavior and immediately said with a laugh,

“I’m your brother-in-law, just giving you a bottle of medicine, did it really need to get you like this?”

Tang Xin was exceptionally clever and immediately caught the hint in Wu Jie’s words.

She glanced sideways and saw, to her surprise, that Bai Fengling was astounded, her red lips slightly parted and her eyes filled with shock.

“What’s the big deal?

When you shop online, customer service always calls you ‘dear’, so why the shyness?

Right, Fengling?”

Bai Fengling suddenly snapped back to reality.

“Oh…

Yes, there’s…

nothing!”

She quickly flashed a knowing smile to cover her embarrassment and surprise.

After all, she was a professional actor.

Be it crying or laughing, she could transform her emotions in an instant.

“One pill every three days, detoxifies and nourishes beauty…”

Talking to herself, Tang Xin opened the bottle and poured a pill into her hand.

“Hey!

This is just like what they say online, all green and cool to the touch.”

“Just not sure about the taste…”

Before she could finish, Tang Xin tossed the pill into her mouth.

“Don’t…”

Wu Jie was too late to stop her.

“What’s wrong?” After swallowing the pill, Tang Xin curiously asked, “Is there a problem?”

Bai Fengling laughed, “Didn’t you know that it will give you diarrhea after eating it?”

Tang Xin laughed, “Of course I know!

To detoxify and nourish beauty…

how else to detoxify and nourish the beauty?”

With a shift in the conversation, Tang Xin stared intently at Bai Fengling.

“Having observed the treatment here for so many days, it seems you’ve consumed quite a number of Detox Pills!”

Bai Fengling nodded.

“Of course, I’ve had my fair share.

Otherwise, the grass over my grave would be sprouting!”

Tang Xin laughed, “Do you know it’s currently marketed as an expensive miracle drug?

The auction price is about two to three hundred thousand per pill, and the black market price even soared to more than two million!”

“With more than three hundred of you hospitalized and taking medicine, just the cost of the medicine must be several billion, right?

Add in other expenses…

ha, your newly established company is probably not able to bear it!”

Hearing this, Bai Fengling showed no surprise or regret.

If the Bai Fengling who cared about fame and fortune had heard that it would cost billions, she would definitely have been scared half to death.

But now…

“No worries.

Even if I’m covered in debt, as long as everyone’s okay, that’s what matters!

After all, money can be earned back, but once life is gone, it’s gone for good!”

Bai Fengling spoke softly with a calm and composed expression.

Such a response surprised both Wu Jie and Tang Xin.

People often say, ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’…

and you, after encountering this disaster, seem to have become indifferent to fame and fortune.”

Tang Xin couldn’t help but praise.

Yet Bai Fengling laughed, “But with what you just said, I’m getting nervous again!

Coming out of the hospital with billions in debt…”

Wu Jie immediately said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, I’ve already announced that the Detox Pill is free for trials in the country.”

As they spoke, Tang Xin suddenly clutched her stomach, her expression tensing.

Her eyebrows furrowed, she quickly stood up.

“Wow!

This medicine works fast…

indeed!”

Tang Xin dared not dally and dashed to the bathroom, afraid of being a moment too late.

“Take it easy!” Bai Fengling called out with a smile on her face.

Wu Jie cast a glance, thinking to himself that Tang Xin wouldn’t be hurt even if she fell because she had a secret weapon!

That shock-absorbing feature was definitely top-notch!

Bam!

Tang Xin sprinted into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

Back in the hospital bed, Bai Fengling immediately packed away the DVD player and took out her handwritten script.

“Jie, I’ve written a screenplay.

Take a look at it!”

Bai Fengling’s clear eyes sparkled with a sweet smile.

As the saying goes, the face is the index of the heart.

Bai Fengling’s mindset had undergone a great change, becoming less mercenary and materialistic.

Her smile seemed sunnier and more amiable, her gaze all the more limpid and captivating.

“I am neither an actor nor a director, why should I look at a screenplay?”

“You’re a shareholder!

This is a huge investment of over a billion; you should take a look!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and rapidly browsed through the story summary on the manuscript paper.

Since there were no computers and printers in the hospital room, the manuscript was entirely handwritten by Bai Fengling.

The creamy paper was filled with rows of small characters, her handwriting elegant and exquisite.

Nowadays, it was rare for someone to have such beautiful penmanship.

It perfectly embodied the phrase ‘seeing the handwriting as if seeing the person’.

Of course.

The story written on the manuscript was also good.

The backdrop was an ancient dynasty.

The content was straightforward, with love stories intertwined between the struggle for imperial power and the resistance against foreign enemies.

After all, it was a commercial film, so the story was straightforward, and the plot was not complicated.

After finishing the manuscript, a scene involuntarily came to Wu Jie’s mind.

…

The beacon fires rose in all directions, and the dust clouds rolled.

On the desolate shoals, sand stretched as far as the eye could see.

The sound of the horn resonated, and instantly there were clashing arms and thundering hooves, as the horses charged across the battlefield with the might of a tiger swallowing thousands of miles.

The two armies collided with each other fiercely, fighting, hacking, blood…

***

After a long time.

Vultures screeched, and the battlefield was already a scene of carnage with bodies strewn everywhere.

The victorious invading enemy poured into the border like a flood, and a fierce defensive battle was about to ignite.

…

Such scenes were naturally common in ancient warfare.

In modern times, there have been many war enthusiasts and fans of period dramas and martial arts who are obsessed with ancient culture and adore the most primitive forms of warfare.

Judging from Western films, this genre and grand storytelling background, if made with care, do not lack box office appeal.

But the problem is…

“This movie’s production budget is going to cost a lot, isn’t it?”

Wu Jie put down the script and asked curiously.

Bai Fengling nodded with a smile, “A war film like this requires a large number of extras, horses, armor, and weapon props, and we may even need to build an ancient city.

To restore history as accurately as possible, we have to pay close attention to every detail of the costumes and props.”

“So, both the preliminary filming and post-production will certainly cost a lot.

I estimate the investment to be two hundred million yuan, but to save costs as much as possible, I dare not hire big-name stars, especially those young fresh meats and internet celebrities!”

Wu Jie laughed, “You can’t afford to hire them anyway!

I’ve heard that one actress, who hasn’t even acted yet, just by being edited in after the fact, demands a salary of eighty million yuan.

Your two hundred million won’t be enough!”

Bai Fengling laughed, “That’s why our company has always been supporting new talents!

I’ve been thinking about this movie for quite a while, and most of the actors and roles have been decided, but we’re still missing a tough guy character!”

“That is, the character in the story who fights to the death and is drenched in blood on the battlefield—the Commander!

He must be brave and masculine, imposing and domineering, with an air of supreme arrogance and an unyielding spirit!”

“Most importantly, he must have a solid martial arts foundation, able to portray the domineering feeling of ‘standing defiantly with a sword, unmatched in valor!'”

“It’s just a pity that many of today’s popular male stars, well, lack acting skills and look emotionless.

They might be better suited playing women in drag than playing a formidable and intimidating Commander…

I’m really afraid they’ll come off effeminate on screen!”

Bai Fengling spoke while fixing her gaze on Wu Jie.

“You’re not thinking of having me play the Commander, are you?” Wu Jie asked in astonishment.

“I’ve never acted before!”

Bai Fengling smiled, “But you’re excellent at martial arts, and you’re handsome and masculine, brave and charming!”

“The key point is, the Commander has very few lines and scenes; it’s mainly about fighting.

In the midst of a bloody battle, outnumbered and with no way out, he must exhibit the spirit of a soldier protecting his homeland and embracing death without fear.”

Wu Jie’s lips twitched slightly, “So I’m going to die in the end?”

“Don’t worry, you’ll get a red envelope for playing dead in a movie!” Bai Fengling said with a light laugh.

Wu Jie managed a wry smile.

“Keep looking for other actors; if all else fails, come back to me as a last resort.

As for this movie’s budget…

I’ll give you three hundred million yuan.

If you need to hire experts, then hire experts; don’t settle for actors who only know how to look cool but can’t express emotion!”

“Craft a great ancient war movie that showcases our spirit of resisting powerful enemies and never yielding.

Just don’t make a bad film that leaves the audience complaining!”

Bai Fengling nodded repeatedly, “Of course!

We have a long and splendid history, with many heroic and moving battles, yet we lack great films like ‘Braveheart’, ‘Gladiator’, or ‘300 Spartans’!”

Wu Jie sighed, “Yes!

We’ve had the desperate battle of Julu, the fight from a cornered position at Jieqiao, the repulsion of formidable enemies at the Battle of Talas, and the triumphant Battle of Yan City!”

“We’ve also had the mighty Great Qin Tiger Division that swept through the six nations, the Great Han Iron Army that ventured deep into enemy territory and fought enemies thousands of miles away, the ferocious Great Tang Sword Army that was tough as steel, and the united and powerful Great Song Qi Family Army!”

“With such a rich and splendid history, how can we not make a grand, stirring, and moving historical epic?

So, I hope your movie won’t disappoint me, and certainly doesn’t disillusion the moviegoers!”

Bai Fengling put away her smile, and replied seriously,

“Don’t worry, Jie, a large portion of the budget for this film will go towards filming and production, rather than being squandered on young pretty boys.”

As they spoke, Wu Jie’s phone rang.

It was Zheng calling.

After a few words, Wu Jie hung up and glanced at Bai Fengling.

“I’ve got one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

Which do you want to hear first?”

Bai Fengling hesitated for a moment.

“Of course you start with the bad news, it’s like bitter before sweet!”

Wu Jie said, “The bad news is, all cured patients will have travel restrictions, and they must report their health status with a regular monthly check-up!”

“Ah?

Why is that?

Then what’s the good news…”

“The medical center’s epidemic control is over, waiving all your fees.

You guys, the trial volunteers, can be discharged!”

Bai Fengling was stunned.

It took her a good few seconds to snap back to reality.

“I…

I can be discharged!!”

“Doesn’t that mean…

I’m okay?

I’m completely recovered?

I can act in movies again?”

Bai Fengling suddenly became extremely excited.

Wu Jie stood up with a smile, trying to soothe her,

“Don’t get too excited; I just said, you’ll have travel restrictions and a monthly check-up!”

“It doesn’t matter!

Just being able to leave here is good enough!”

Bai Fengling threw off the covers and immediately got out of bed to pack her things.

“Take your time packing, I have to go to a meeting!”

Wu Jie walked to the bathroom door and knocked.

“Xin’er, how are you doing?”

“Not so good.

Let me stay a bit longer.”

“Then I’ll leave the car keys here.

You can go with Fengling later!”

After tossing the Audi keys to Bai Fengling, Wu Jie immediately left.

Many cured patients were looking forward to being discharged, their friends and family eagerly awaiting reunion.

Wu Jie didn’t want to keep everyone waiting, so he left to arrange the necessary work.

Tang Xin was still in the bathroom, but Bai Fengling couldn’t wait to be discharged.

So she simply hid under the covers and changed her clothes.

Of course.

She didn’t forget to bring the other sheet of script hidden under her pillow, a plot section she had carefully contemplated for a long time.

It was very bold, related to the Commander.

Therefore, Bai Fengling had to get Wu Jie to agree to play the Commander, or it would all be for nothing!

Before long.

Tang Xin came out, looking somewhat weak, her face ashen.

After resting for a while, the loudspeaker came alive with Wu Jie’s voice.

She left, brimming with joy, after finishing the procedures.

The Audi drove out of the compound, the tinted windows keeping Bai Fengling’s face hidden.

But seeing the many eagerly anticipating fans, Bai Fengling was profoundly moved.

She couldn’t help but take out her phone, wanting to share the news with the world, but she was already in tears and didn’t know what to say.

Glancing in the rear-view mirror, Tang Xin gave a wry smile.

“You’re scheming to get Jie to act, but what secret plan are you really hiding?”
