My buildings have attributes

"Yesterday I was planning to eat dried fish while watching the show, but I was so scared that I dropped all the dried fish."

"excellent!"

Chen Ling laughed himself to death when he saw these discussions.

However, it also shows how disappointed these people are.

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted me to shoot a blockbuster? Where's my blockbuster?" Chen Xiaoqi came to Chen Ling's side and pouted.

"Um...were you filming a movie before?"

Chen Ling remembered that his younger sister was recently filming a movie, but it was an art film, to hone her acting skills.

"We finished filming a long time ago, and now we have nothing to do," Chen Xiaoqi said helplessly.

"I see... okay, let's shoot a blockbuster."

After thinking it over, Chen Ling decided to adapt a novel into a blockbuster film.

If he hadn't watched the TV series "Battle Through the Heavens," Chen Ling would have simply paid for someone else to film it.

But now that he's finished reading Battle Through the Heavens, Chen Ling feels that he, as a reader of the novel, should act as an investor and personally oversee the project; otherwise, the final product will be truly an eyesore.

It's a great fantasy novel where the powerful characters can fly and teleport, but in the movie adaptation, everyone's riding horses.

This is too good, Chen Ling can't handle it.

Filming is easy, but framing the shot and creating special effects is difficult.

Thinking about this, Chen Ling felt that he should build a film and television city.

Chapter 81 The Entertainment Industry Has Changed

However, the film studio shouldn't rush things; they should first finalize the script and cast.

What should we film?

Chen Ling thought for a moment, and realized that apart from the few novels that had been destroyed, the only one that hadn't been filmed yet was Zhe Tian.

I looked up information about Zhetian's adaptation online.

Holy crap...

It was produced by Zhang Yimou's team with an investment of 600 million yuan and more than 300 episodes of television series.

Chen Ling was shocked when he saw this.

But after seeing the cast, Chen Ling was speechless.

What kind of actors did they hire? Their styles don't match at all.

No, we can't ruin the original work.

Thinking of this, Chen Ling picked up his phone and started looking for numbers.

"Brother Chen, I received a call from Brother Chen! I'm so excited!"

Before Chen Ling could even speak, the other party excitedly said something when the call connected.

"Don't get excited, I want to film a TV series, do you want to invest?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Absolutely, since Brother Chen is making a film, I'll definitely come."

Chen Ling pursed his lips, wondering if he would say, "What do you mean I'm going to make a film? I'm going to make a movie, not to go into the adult film industry."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I want to film 'Zhe Tian,' but a company has already invested in it, and Zhang Yimou's team is filming. However, it's only just started, and I don't know if filming has even begun. Go ask them; I want this drama, and I want them to transfer it to us," Chen Ling said directly.

"Brother Chen, don't worry. If they don't let you film this drama, even if they manage to film it, it won't pass censorship."

"Stop talking nonsense, go and contact them, then ask the others if they're interested. This time, I'll help you guys make money," Chen Ling said arrogantly.

"Okay, Brother Chen, wait for my news."

Chen Ling simply made a phone call, but the entire entertainment industry was thrown into turmoil.

The person Chen Ling called was named Feng Chuang, and his father was a big shot in Guangda.

However, he couldn't keep this to himself, so he contacted several second-generation heirs of similar status.

As a result, other second-generation individuals also received the news and wanted to participate in this film and television project.

Making money or not doesn't matter, as long as they can maintain a good relationship with Chen Ling, they'll be happy even if they lose money making the movie.

And so, a group of top-tier second-generation heirs joined forces and directly approached Good Story Film and Television Company, which owned the copyright to the TV series.

The Good Story Company, which was preparing to film the movie "Zhetian", was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?

They want us to sell the copyright so they can stop us from filming.

You're overthinking it. Our company has connections too. Even if we make a terrible TV series, we can't possibly resell it.

Five minutes later, the CEO of Good Story Company finished a phone call with his contacts and said that they would not film the show, nor would they resell it; they would give it away for free.

MMP!

I'm terrified! How could these people be interested in the film and television rights to a novel?

The next day, a group of second-generation rich kids came to Jinling to find Chen Ling.

"Why are you all here?"

Chen Ling was speechless when he saw this group of second-generation rich kids. Are you all so free?

"Brother Chen, we've had a dream since we were kids: to make movies."

Dream on a dime.

But he's here, so what? He didn't intend to make money from the movie anyway. Whether he makes money or not doesn't matter; he just wants to be happy.

Compared to the construction costs of the Mo Family's Mechanized City, spending a few hundred billion on making a movie is just pocket change.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Have you got the film and television rights yet?" Chen Ling asked.

"Brother Chen, you underestimate me too much. If I can't even get a film and television copyright, then I might as well give up," Feng Chuang said arrogantly.

Chen Ling nodded. That's right, what he asked earlier was a pointless question.

"Okay, let's go eat first and talk while we eat."

Chen Ling led them to the Sky Hotel in the Qinglong Building and they sat down to eat at the Dragon Claw Restaurant.

"My only requirement for this TV series is to respect the original work. When you find a screenwriter to write the script, don't change the plot; just follow the original story."

As for special effects and filming locations, I will build a film studio specifically for shooting movies.

Now, the problem you need to solve is the casting. In my opinion, Hu Ge will play the lead role of Ye Fan, my sister will play the female lead Ji Ziyue, Jiao Jun will play the white-robed god king Jiang Taixu, and the other actors will be chosen according to the original character settings.

You know the entertainment industry better than I do. Next, you use your connections to shortlist the actors, and then I will review them.

"You don't need to use your power to pressure people. Pay them whatever the agreed-upon fee is. I don't lack money. My only requirement is that you make a good show. You understand what I mean?"

Chen Ling spoke to these second-generation rich kids while eating.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, leave these matters to us. In the entire entertainment industry, no one has ever dared to disrespect us," Feng Chuang said confidently.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

The higher the father's position, the more cautious they had to be in their words and deeds. As for things like forcibly abducting women, that's something that only exists in novels.

In reality, which truly top-tier second-generation rich kid would do something like that? It would completely ruin their image.

Even if they wanted to do that, their dad would break their legs, lock them up at home, and then they'd run off and cause trouble for their dad.

They're working for Chen Ling now, and even if their fathers found out, they wouldn't say anything.

After lunch, the group of second-generation students made their presence known to Chen Ling before going off to help with these matters.

Chen Ling, on the other hand, went to the city's main district and asked Boss Li for a piece of wasteland, intending to build a film and television city there.

It's just wasteland, and it's not even in the city center. There are plenty of similar areas around Jinling.

Chen Ling acquired the land very easily and without spending much money.

For the next week, Chen Ling was busy building the film and television city and didn't pay attention to casting.

However, in the entertainment industry, everything changed completely because of one sentence Chen Ling uttered.

Super God Film & Television Company invites your company's artists to participate in the casting for the TV series "Zhetian". Please arrive in the north before 10:00 AM tomorrow. Failure to do so will result in consequences.

Initially, when Super God Film Company announced the casting process, they directly called the companies and agents of each star.

Attitude!

Very tough, very awesome.

Those celebrities who aren't doing well have agents who readily agree to be there on time tomorrow.

And those celebrities who are doing well have really powerful agents.

"Casting? Is it for the lead role? If it's not the lead role, I don't have time."

"Casting? Sorry, so-and-so in my family is currently filming that movie and doesn't have time to take your script."

"Casting? No way. Don't waste my time calling a small production like yours."

And the result... well... hehe.

The next morning, the companies these celebrities represented received a call from above.

Rectification!

A new batch of rectification targets in the optoelectronics industry has been updated, with two-thirds of them being currently the most popular celebrities.

For a moment, these film and television companies and entertainment companies were dumbfounded.

Company executives calling a celebrity's agent? Who the hell did you offend?

I don't know, I haven't offended anyone recently.

The company's senior management then called their connections.

As a result, they only said one thing.

"All the artists and companies on the list have refused to cooperate with Super God Film and Television Company in casting, and they have an arrogant attitude."
