I SIGNED-IN FOR A BILLION DOLLAR MANSION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING - Season 2 Episode 45

Lu Benkai continued, “Brother Fan, your directing ability is second to none among everyone I’ve seen.”

“You know which position an actor should be in to show the best effect. Your mastery when it comes to the transition of scenes, controlling the cameras, and location changes is top-notch. You’re also a true scriptwriting master. All of us admire and respect you a lot.”

“Even though Yuehua Entertainment has encountered an unprecedented crisis this time, and no investor is willing to invest in ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’, I, Lu Benkai, believe in you.”

“I also believe that this television drama will definitely become popular. It might even be more popular than the television dramas filmed by Huace Pictures.”

Lu Benkai had long since admired Lin Fan from the bottom of his heart.

He had been in the directing industry for so long, when had he ever met a director as strong as Lin Fan?

This was not an exaggeration. This was what Lu Benkai had felt for a long time.

In his opinion, if Lin Fan said he was second, no one would dare to say that they were first.

There was a reason for the popularity of Joy of Life.

The key was Lin Fan!

“Tell me. If you have anything to ask of me, there’s no need to flatter me,” said Lin Fan with a smile. He handed Lu Benkai a bottle of mineral water.

After Lu Benkai took the mineral water, he looked at Lin Fan and said seriously, “Brother Fan, I hope that one day, you can enter the movie industry. That is a brand new field.”

“Moreover, filming a movie is even more profitable than filming a television drama. I’m an ordinary person who only knows how to be a director. I know that my ability isn’t good enough, but I have a dream. I want to film a few outstanding movies. I hope they can be released domestically, but also receive good reviews from foreign audiences.”

“China has 5,000 years of history. 5,000 years of broad and profound history. Furthermore, China is the second-largest economy in the world. I’m proud of this.”

“Brother Fan, I don’t know if you’ve heard of this saying before. If the youth are strong, the country will be strong.”

“Movies, as an industry that can promote our country’s cultural heritage, are of vital significance. However, it’s difficult for our domestic movie industry to produce a good work in a year. Even if some works can be produced, they will be completely defeated by foreign movies, let alone classic foreign films.”

“Now, not only do foreigners look down on us, but even the people in our country look down on our country’s movie industry. If this goes on for a long time, our domestic cultural industry will be infiltrated by foreigners, and the final outcome will be even more terrifying than war!”

“If foreign countries influence the development of our country through movies, television, and other cultural industries, this cultural invasion is the most terrifying thing.”

Lu Benkai’s expression was serious as he continued, “Brother Fan, you might not understand what I’m saying. Let me give you a simple example. Since ancient times, festivals in our country, such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and so on, have special meanings.”

“But do you know what festivals young people like more nowadays? Foreign festivals like Valentine’s Day, White Day, Black Day, Carnival, and so on are more popular in our country instead.”

“This is the effect of cultural influence. In the next few decades, the children in our country might like Ultraman, Marvel, and Iron Man. There’s no problem with that, of course.”

“But where did the domestic things in our country go?”

“Where did our five thousand years of Chinese cultural inheritance go?”

“If it’s all infiltrated by foreign culture, how much of our Chinese culture can be passed down?”

“Brother Fan, I know what I said might be too grand and unrealistic, but this is what I really think.”

“Only you have the ability to enter the movie industry and change the stagnant water of the movie industry. There’s also the stagnant water of animation. None of our domestic movies, cartoons, and television can compare to foreign countries.”

“Take war films for example. The domestic war films are divine dramas. They tear the Japanese apart and catch bullets with their bare hands. But foreign war films make people feel the fear of war.” Lu Benkai said a lot to Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan heard that, he smiled and patted Lu Benkai on the shoulder.

“Lu Benkai, you have to have confidence in our domestic culture.”

“The movie industry is indeed a pool of stagnant water. I’ll remember what you said. If I have the chance, I’ll go to the movie industry to take a look. After all, it’s my wish to film a good movie too,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

Lin Fan thought that the entertainment industry was all about popularity and money.

There were indeed many people like that.

However, there was also such a good person beside Lin Fan.

This made Lin Fan very happy.

If he had the ability, he would also enter the movie industry.

Putting aside those cultural industries, just based on earning money, if he could film a popular movie, the money he would earn would definitely not be lower than that of television dramas.

Lin Fan felt that he wasn’t someone who could save the world.

If he could earn money, he would definitely give it a try. At the same time, it would be good to promote China’s traditional culture.

After all, if he wanted to promote Chinese culture, he definitely could not do it alone. This required the efforts of a generation or even generations.

The next day, another day of filming for “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” began.

And today’s plot was very sweet.

Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s sweet acting skills made everyone smile.

“This is too sweet. Lin Fan and Xia Wangiu acted too well.”

“What godly acting skills. I’m already impressed. The key is that in such hot weather, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s condition wasn’t affected. Instead, they were so engrossed in acting.”

“Love at first sight, getting married on the spot, and having sex scenes… Are Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu monsters? How can they act so well in such a plot?”

“Ah ah ah, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu are kissing again. It’s another kissing scene. I’m already stunned…”

“This is called acting skills. I think Brother Fan and Xia Wangiu’s acting skills are definitely not inferior to Lin Kexin’s.”

“Of course. Brother Fan’s acting skills are not something that ordinary people can compare to.”

After filming this relationship scene, everyone cheered.

In the film crew, they had already tacitly accepted Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s relationship.

No one would peek at Xia Wanqiu and want to woo her.

If Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were sweet in the drama, they would be even sweeter in real

life.

In Joy of Life, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu didn’t have many relationship scenes and kissing scenes.

But in this “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s acting skills made everyone feel deeply shocked.

In their hearts, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were the true Best Actors. They were impeccable!
