Chapter 45

Film crew.

"What kind of trash script is this, how dare they send it to me?! Scripts these days are getting worse every year!"

Director Zhang Jizhong flipped through the first few pages of the script on the table and threw it into the trash can.

His face showed obvious displeasure.

Yu Min, the producer sitting on the sofa, glanced at the waste paper occupying most of the trash can.

The titles "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" and "The Cold-Faced Prince and His Pretty Princess" on the covers were eye-catching.

Shaking his head, lamenting what kind of vulgar taste this was, Yu Min nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, scripts these days can't even meet the most basic conditions; the stories are simple, the characters are one-dimensional..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jizhong drank several mouthfuls of tea to calm his mood, then said with a sense of "iron not becoming steel."

"A good script needs a perfect plot, full characters, and a theme that fits the mainstream; we only have these three conditions!

But why can't we find one that fits?"

As soon as this was said, Yu Min on the side also sighed heavily.

However, while sighing, his gaze never left his phone.

"Rather than watching current TV dramas, I'd rather read Ye Xuan's *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* a few more times.

This *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* is always fresh, every time I read it, I find something new..."

Hearing his friend mention his beloved novel, Zhang Jizhong also nodded subconsciously.

"Yeah, I'd rather read *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* than watch these idol soap operas..."

But halfway through his sentence, Zhang Jizhong suddenly froze.

"*The Legend of the Condor Heroes*?!"

Muttering to himself, Zhang Jizhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Perfect plot, full characters, and it fits the trend?!"

Although he was talking to himself, Zhang Jizhong's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his voice grew louder.

At this moment, he had subconsciously matched these three conditions with *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.

And with this matching, the sorrow on his face was swept away, and his expression was faintly filled with excitement.

In terms of plot, the click count of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* published on the blog had already exceeded one hundred million!

Wasn't this enough to explain everything?!

In terms of character development, Zhang Jizhong thought of the Weibo super-topic.

Once *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* was released, the daily activity of its super-topic jumped into the top ten of the popularity list.

In a list full of entertainment stars' super-topics, it had carved out a place for itself!

And what was even more incredible was that a large number of fans had established super-topics for each character in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.

Guo Jing super-topic, Huang Rong super-topic, Yang Kang super-topic, Hong Qigong super-topic, Huang Yaoshi super-topic...

Not to mention these hot characters, even Guo Xiaotian, who died at the beginning of the book, had a separate super-topic established!

This was enough to show the countless netizens' love for the characters in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*!

It was precisely because they were so reluctant to part with the characters in the book that they didn't want the story to end there!

As for fitting the trend.

Ye Xuan had already been affirmed by official media, how could it not fit?!

At this time, Yu Min on the side also understood the implication, his mouth opening and closing, slapping his thigh several times, and finally blurted out!

"Condor is simply an excellent script, how could we have forgotten it?!"

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and simultaneously saw the light of excitement in each other's eyes.

*The Legend of the Condor Heroes* had pioneered a new world of martial arts!

It was neither as empty as previous martial arts works nor as boring as just telling history!

Instead, it combined martial arts and history, adding a unique weight and aftertaste!

It not only had love, hate, and grudges but also the righteousness of the family and country!

If this book could be adapted into a film or television work, the popularity would be unimaginable!

Once the thought occurred, Zhang Jizhong took action immediately.

"I'm going to call Ye Xuan right now!"

After going through various connections in the industry, Zhang Jizhong finally got Ye Xuan's phone number.

At the moment of pressing the phone number, Zhang Jizhong subconsciously swallowed to soothe his nervousness.

When a clear voice came from the other side of the phone, Zhang Jizhong couldn't wait to state his intention for cooperation.

"Hello Mr. Ye Xuan, I am Zhang Jizhong.

I really like your three books, especially the third one, *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.

I want to adapt your *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* into a film and television drama..."

Zhang Jizhong excitedly talked about all the matters related to the cooperation, and then he talked at length about the beautiful blueprint for the success of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* on screen.

This would absolutely be a huge breakthrough in the history of film and television!

And just as he was incredibly excited, he heard the voice on the other side seem to carry a bit of surprise.

"This matter... is not impossible."

As soon as the voice came out, Zhang Jizhong's hands holding the phone trembled.

Not impossible?!

That meant there was hope?!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jizhong immediately made a guarantee.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, it is our great honor that you are willing to give us the copyright..."

However, just after Zhang Jizhong said a lot, he heard Ye Xuan's voice on the other side again, his tone seeming a bit helpless.

"Why don't you all come and talk in person?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jizhong was stunned for a moment, and then his focus immediately fell on the "all" in "you all."

You all?!

The alarm in Zhang Jizhong's heart immediately went off.

Was he not the first person to contact Ye Xuan?!

Thinking that the copyright of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* might be snatched away by others, Zhang Jizhong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, I will come to find you immediately, you must wait for me..."

And once the phone was hung up, Zhang Jizhong immediately opened the ticketing software and bought the fastest ticket to Qiong Village!

At this moment, only one thought remained in his heart.

He must win the script of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*! ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
