Chapter 38 Now do you think I can act?
After receiving another clear rejection from Lin Feng, Jing Tian was genuinely angry. Being rejected twice in a row made her lose face.
What drove Jing Tian even more crazy was that she really couldn't understand why Lin Feng refused. A good script, a big cast, a big investment—how dare he refuse? Jing Tian really wanted to confront him directly!
Could Lin Feng really think she's interested in him?! What a fool! No way! No way! I'm so angry!
In the end, Jing Tian comforted herself and could only swear fiercely, "What's so great about Lin Feng? Even if you don't act, many other people will want to. When the box office explodes, you'll regret it!"
On the other hand, Lin Feng lost one film, but he still has to find another one. Thinking back to 2011, that film is undoubtedly the dark horse that was "Love is Not Blind".
Therefore, Lin Feng directly said to Hu Shan, "Sister Hu, is there a movie called 'Love is Not Blind' that's been approved and filed recently? I'd like to try to get an audition for it."
Unlike "Palace," "Love is Not Blind" seems to have been directed by Teng Huatao from the start, with Wen Zhang being practically Teng Huatao's go-to actor.
This time, Lin Feng faces even greater competition. He might not be able to snag the male lead role through the audition, but even so, he'll give it a try.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Hu Shan continued, "You're talking about 'Love is Not Blind,' right? It's a novel, isn't it? I've read the novel, but I haven't heard anything about a movie being registered."
"No? Hasn't the movie even started pre-production yet?"
At this point in time, Lin Feng suddenly realized that Teng Huatao might not have obtained the rights to "Love is Not Blind" yet. He had only thought about acting in the movie and hadn't considered getting the rights in advance!
That was a mistake!
This not only ensured the male lead's safety but also allowed them to make a fortune from this success, which resulted in a phenomenal box office miracle!
This has potential!
However, to confirm whether "Love is Not Blind" was still in the author's possession, Lin Feng quickly contacted the author, Bao Jingjing, through her teacher, Cui Xinqin, at the school.
Bao Jingjing was a student in the Literature Department of Beijing Film Academy, class of 04, two years ahead of Lin Feng. Lin Feng got her contact information and called her immediately. After a brief self-introduction, they got down to business.
"Are you Lin Feng, the one who acted in 'Meteor Shower'?"
"Yes, senior sister, I'm calling about this: do you still hold the film and television rights to your novel 'Love is Not Blind'?"
"Yes, do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, senior sister, can we find a place to talk? I really like this novel and want to adapt it into a TV series."
"Sure, I happen to have time right now."
So the two agreed to meet at a coffee shop on campus. As soon as they met, before Lin Feng could even say anything, Bao Jingjing started gossiping and kept chattering away.
"You really are Lin Feng! I've seen your 'Meteor Shower,' so I guess I'd call myself a half-fan."
"By the way, are those rumors circulating online about your relationship with Deng Shuang true? Are you two really together?"
Lin Feng was speechless, and quickly interjected, "Um, senior sister, let's talk about the copyright issue of 'Love is Not Blind' first."
"Oh, right, let's get down to business. I just don't understand why an actor like you would want to buy the rights to 'Love is Not Blind'?"
"I like your novel and think it deserves to be adapted into a film. I'd like to bring it to the big screen. Of course, another reason is that I also want to play the male lead, 'Wang Yiyang.' Do you think I'm suitable?"
Although Bao Jingjing cannot decide the male lead, she can decide who owns the copyright. If Lin Feng gets the copyright, it means he has secured the male lead role, which can be considered an early audition.
"You! You're no good, you're too handsome, and you're neither cheap nor effeminate!" Bao Jingjing immediately waved her hand and said.
Without saying a word, Lin Feng gave Bao Jingjing a performance on the spot, transforming himself from a sunny and handsome young man into a effeminate and sharp-tongued cross-dresser.
"Let her go! What's wrong with you! What's wrong with you! Blocking her way to work, then waiting outside her door on her way home. She won't answer your calls, so you start writing letters? You're so old-fashioned! Even if you don't know the law, there's someone right next to her, are you blind?!"
Lin Feng's performance, which was a mix of cheekiness, effeminacy, and masculinity, truly captivated Bao Jingjing. She hadn't expected someone's aura to change so drastically in an instant. Lin Feng's acting was superb; he was the leading man of her dreams.
At this moment, Lin Feng asked again, "Senior sister, do you think I'm suitable to play the male lead now?"
Bao Jingjing sincerely praised, "Yes, absolutely no problem, you performed wonderfully! But adapting a novel into a film or television series is not an easy task."
"Don't worry about that. I guarantee I can attract investment. I do have some connections. If no one invests, I'll invest myself."
"That's not the case, I believe you. But how long do you plan to keep filming going?"
"Senior sister, I promise that filming will definitely begin within two years, or even within one year, and we'll strive to bring it to the big screen next year."
"Really?" As a literature major, Bao Jingjing certainly hoped it would be as soon as possible.
"Absolutely no problem. We can put that in the contract. By the way, aren't you a literature major and a novelist? Then you should adapt this work, because you know your own work best."
Lin Feng's offer was too tempting for Bao Jingjing, and she agreed immediately. After all, how many literature graduates can participate in film and television projects? This was indeed an opportunity for Bao Jingjing.
"I can give you the film and television rights, but I have another condition. In addition to me joining the screenwriting team, I also want my boyfriend Wang Ran to join the crew. He is a 04 graduate of the Fine Arts Department majoring in directing."
Although this novel was created by Bao Jingjing after a heated argument with her boyfriend, in the form of a diary to vent her anger and "pass the time,"
But how do you explain relationships between men and women? "They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed." The novel wasn't even finished being serialized when the two made up, and it seems they eventually got married.
Moreover, it seems that Wang Ran has acted in quite a few works later on, but most of them were written by Bao Jingjing.
"Sure, we can give Brother Wang an assistant director position to enhance his resume. By the way, do you have a suitable director in mind for this film?"
"No!"
What do you think of Xue Xiaolu, the director of "Ocean Sky"?
"Of course she's no problem. She's a professor in our literature department and a master's thesis advisor. The question is, can you actually get her to agree to this?"
This film, "Love is Not Blind," is a chick flick, so it would be best to have a female director. The female directors Lin Feng can think of are probably Li Yu, Xue Xiaolu, and Shao Yihui.
Li Yu is an art-house film director, and Shao Yihui is too young now, he seems to be younger than Lin Feng. Neither of them is suitable. It seems that Xue Xiaolu is the most suitable.
Besides, Xue Xiaolu is at most a new director, so how could she not be invited to join? The movie that really made her famous, "Finding Mr. Right," is still in the works.
"What about the female lead?"
"No, not at all!"
You answered quite readily!
In these kinds of chick flicks, the female lead can't be too beautiful or too aggressive; she has to be the ordinary girl next door. This way, ordinary female viewers can relate to her.
Besides Bai Baihe from her previous life, there's also Wang Luodan, who resembles her. Lin Feng couldn't think of anyone else for the female lead right now; he'd think about it later.
