Hu Bei immediately became alert.
He thought that Fang Mo’er would present him with several harsh conditions.
However, she unexpectedly said, “I want you to focus all your energy on this script during this period of time.”
Fang Mo’er knew that Hu Bei was working part-time while completing this work.!!
Since he was going to do it, Fang Mo’er wanted him to give it his best.
When Fang Mo’er left, Hu Bei was left staring blankly at the contract in his hand.
For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming.
Just a few minutes ago, he had been poor and had been working several jobs to raise money for university.
However, in the blink of an eye, he had become rich.
Hu Bei took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
He took a deep look in the direction where Fang Mo’er had left. Then, he tidied up all the information that he had on Hua Mulan, held it in his hands, and began to study it.
However, very quickly, he thought of something and took his phone out to make a call.
He then proceeded to resign from all of the part-time jobs that he had been working.
The other side did not expect Hu Bei to suddenly do such a thing. When they heard that Hu Bei was going to be a screenwriter, everyone sneered in disdain.
“You, a person who hasn’t even gone to university, want to be a screenwriter? I think you must be dreaming.”
“If you don’t earn money, will you be able to feed yourself in your dreams?”
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Hu Bei became even more determined.
Because Fang Mo’er had given him this opportunity, he would definitely not let her down.
Fang Mo’er had to be a lucky star that God had blessed him with.
…
In the car.
Fang Mo’er held the copyright contract that Hu Bei had signed with her in her hands. Suddenly, a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
With this script, the plot for Hua Mulan would be guaranteed.
Fang Mo’er even had a hunch that this time, the script for Hua Mulan might be even better than the new adaptation of ‘Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai’.
Just then, Fang Mo’er received a call from the Shi family, asking her to go back to the old residence for dinner with Shi Mo.
Hearing Wu Ling’s impatient voice, Fang Mo’er frowned.
She had a feeling that this meal would not be a friendly one.
Indeed, on the way back to the Shi family residence, Fang Mo’er realized that many trolls were slandering her on the Internet.
“Fang Mo’er is famous due to her reliance on the power of money. Now, she wants to invest in her own movie. Is it really possible that she won’t be relying on a man this time?”
“The investor for ‘The High Monk’ had been Shi Mo. This time, does this mean that Shi Mo will not be helping her invest in another movie, right?”
“Who knows? But Fang Mo’er is really lucky. The moment she debuted, she was immediately sought after by all kinds of entertainment companies. Unlike other people with no background who would find it too difficult to become popular.”
“The reason ‘The High Monk’ was so popular was because of the accumulation of money.”
“This time, she actually said that she’s making preparations for a movie, even without a script. Is Fang Mo’er really not using any capital money to invest?”
It was obvious that everyone had misunderstood and thought that Fang Mo’er was trying to get investors to help invest in this movie.
Hence, they all criticized Fang Mo’er for overestimating herself.
As expected, when Fang Mo’er arrived at the Shi family’s house, she saw Wu Ling sitting arrogantly on a consort chair in the hall.
“Hmph, I heard that you’re going to ask the company for money again, is that right?”
Wu Ling had seen the news about Fang Mo’er on the Internet earlier and assumed that Fang Mo’er was waiting for Star Dream Era’s help in investing in this movie.
With Hua Mulan being the subject of this movie, it was evident that it required a lot of war scenes, which would be very expensive.
Wu Ling had immediately become distressed. So, before Shi Mo could agree to Fang Mo’er’s investment, she had found a reason to call Fang Mo’er over.
She wanted her to give up on this idea.
“How much do you plan to take this time? 100 million or 200 million? No matter how much it is, I will oppose it. The company will never invest in a movie with no prospects. I advise you to give up on this idea.”
Wu Ling’s heart ached when she thought about how the company might lose so much money just because Shi Mo agreed to it.
Her expression became stern in an effort to intimidate Fang Mo’er.
However, Fang Mo’er idly walked over and sat down on the sofa. “You believe the rumors on the Internet?”
If not for the fact that she was Shi Mo’s adoptive mother, Fang Mo’er would have lost her temper.
Her acting in ‘The High Monk’ had helped the company earn a lot of money, yet she continued to be treated like this by Wu Ling.
It was simply a reversal of black and white.
Besides, she did not intend on letting Shi Mo or the company pay for it..
