Chapter 573 - The White Fox
Chapter 573: The White Fox
When Yan Huan opened her eyes the next day, the sky was already bright. She sat up feeling somewhat groggy but still thinking about ways she was able to accept more brand endorsements and advertisements. If she could film more advertisements, then she could collect enough money for the film expenses as soon as possible.
Logically speaking, she was considered a rich woman, but for now, she was still short of money. However, things would be better after Chinese New Year as she would earn back the money spent on the company and once she endured two more years until the Ye family airport was up and running, everything would become more desirable. In fact, she did not need to wait until the Ye family built an airport because, by that time, Linlang would already have its own structure.
“Mhmm, all the best,” She clenched her fist as she encouraged herself.
Regarding the issue of lacking funds, she would never beg others for help unless she really had no other alternatives. There was no other way to go about it since superstar Yan wanted to keep all the profits for herself. Therefore, the consequence of not sharing profits caused her to be stuffed, and now that she wanted to digest her profits, it would not be easily done.
“You’re awake.” Lu Yi walked in and bent down in front of her to gently tidy up her messy hair.
“It’s time to eat. The housemaid made your favorite steamed dumplings and ravioli.”
Yan Huan lifted her face and smiled at Lu Yi. Lu Yi gently brushed his lips against her forehead and grabbed Yan Huan’s clothes, helping her to get changed. He would be going to work in a while, but he had woken up early to arrange everything beforehand.
Yan Huan was still feeling tired, yet when she thought about her company, all the hardship she went through was worth it.
She stood up and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face just to refresh herself to prevent wallowing in sloppiness.
When she walked out of the bathroom, Lu Yi had already arranged all the food on the table. There were some delicious-looking steamed dumplings, ravioli, a plate of chilled cucumber salad and a serving of Eight Treasure Spinach.
Although the steamed dumplings were made of meat, they were not greasy. Hence, the meat that Yan Huan liked the most was probably the meat that had been wrapped in the steamed dumplings. She could finish up approximately six to seven whole dumplings.
“I’m going to work now.” Lu Yi grabbed his coat, wore it, then took his notebook, and ready for work.
Yan Huan ran to him and tiptoed to help him straighten the clothes he was wearing. “I might be very busy today. So, I’m unable to eat with you but no matter how busy you are, you must fill your stomach.”
“I know.” Lu Yi smiled gently as the corner of his eyes was painted with warmth.
He kissed Yan Huan’s forehead before leaving.
After Lu Yi had left, Yan Huan’s shoulders slumped down as she carried all the plates to the kitchen. After she was done with cleaning, she changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
They still needed to read through the scripts and select the cast.
Other than that, they would still need to confirm the placement of the production team and she was required to discuss the various aspects of styling with Yue Ran as well.
She wanted to film a 3D movie this time. The investment for the 3D film alone had already cost more than 2D film and the production aspects of it were going to be more complicated as well but Yuan Huan already had a script for it.
It was called White Fox.
Actually, someone had already filmed this movie before but it was only in 2D. At that time, she had watched it once before and felt that it was a pity that its graphics were not detailed enough and that there were some minor problems with the selected actors and actresses. They were not beautiful enough and did not look like the fairies or demons they were supposed to play in the movie. Furthermore, it was a low-cost online movie. However, as a whole, the visual effects were delicate and of course, the storyline was very touching too.
She had filmed numerous series and movies before and for a movie to be successful, there were some important elements needed to be included.
She had thought about it previously, thinking if the movie of the White Fox could be filmed in 3D and the image quality could be more detailed, then it would be an amazing film.
Of course, as mentioned by her, a media company that remade the film and the profit they made at the box office was quite impressive. However, in her opinion, the film was still not good enough. The White Fox she perceived in her mind was also not of the same kind.
Even though the film was shot in 2D at that time with slightly more atmospheric and glorious images and an improvement in terms of the cast’s acting skills, but most importantly it was not in 3D. Hence, there were still many details that could not be portrayed.
Even so, they had managed to sell up to a million tickets at the box office.
As for Yan Huan, her target was not merely a million, but she wanted a few millions or even billions.
However, she was still short of funds even after she had tossed all the money she could get together and was still a large amount away from obtaining enough funds. Let’s just film it first. In any event, it won’t kill anyone to tough it out. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going, there’ll always be a way.
It was not that she had thought through it, but it was just that she knew that regardless of what happened, these issues could be solved and there would always be a way to solve them.
If worst comes to worst, she would just have to cooperate with other media companies. However, the profits she could get from the box office would then lessen. Therefore, she was unwilling to do so unless she really had no other alternatives.
Yet again, it was still the same issue, her company was still lacking funds.
Yan Huan flipped through the script for White Fox of which she had bought it from someone else. There was no issue about the formalities of the process as she did not wish to see someone raising potential trouble for her after the movie became famous.
Trouble always lingered around well-known people.
A famous film would attract even more trouble.
Thus, she had to make sure that the pre-production work was done well without a hitch.
The movie of the White Fox told the story of a Little White Fox which was cultivating in the mountain. The Little Fox was naive, cute and obviously very kind as well, but the Little Fox also had some secrets that could not be told. For instance, the Little Fox loved life amongst humans and admired humans. Therefore, the Little Fox went to beg the tribe’s female elder, saying that she would like to transform into a human and go to the human realm for once.
The elder claimed that all humans were cunning and evil, yet the Little Fox still longed to go to the human realm from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to go and take a look at the human realm the elder had talked about.
She did not want to be a fox and instead, she wanted to be a human even though a fox would have a lifespan of up to hundreds or even thousands of years and humans would only live up to a hundred years. To her, the days living within the mountain were too boring. When she opened her eyes, all she could see was the snowy mountain and when she closed her eyes, countless years had long gone.
She had begged the female elder for a few days but the elder only sighed softly.
Then, the elder muttered something with implied meaning, this is life.
She was right, this was life, how could it not be? When the Little White Fox was born, she was already unusual as she carried a love mishap in her.
The Whitey was born on the snowy mountain as a fox, pure without a trace of sin with the predestined fate of cultivation into an immortal. At worst, she would only become a local deity but the thing was, she happened to be born with a love mishap.
The one that was born with a love mishap, once fallen in love, would mean death.
Unfortunately, the Little White Fox was born with a love mishap where no one could stop it; only she could endure the mishap herself.
