Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo! - Chapter 983
Chapter 983: Simple and Rough
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Fanxing more or less understood why no one responded to the script he sent.
It was the age of capital now. Not many directors would spend time, energy, and capital to film a movie that was likely to fail.
“Classics are classics. I’ve never thought of surpassing them.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then what are you thinking about?”
“It’s a movie suitable for the current society.”
“The current state of society?”
The man nodded. “Yes. Just like you. Simple, violent, smart, clean, and unkind.”
Shen Fanxing stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him with a cold smile.
“You’re saying that I’m simple, crude, and unkind?”
“Yes. But there are many people who like you, right?”
Shen Fanxing tilted her head slightly and asked, “Are you trying to flatter me?”
“I’m just telling the truth. It’s rare for CEO Shen to think that she’s ‘not kind’.”
Shen Fanxing chuckled and said, “There’s no place for kind-hearted people in this society.”
People could be kind, but not too kind.
Otherwise, some people would bully you unscrupulously because of your kindness. They would never stop asking you for anything. Then, when you can’t satisfy them one day, you will become the most unforgivable “villain” in the world.
“I agree with CEO Shen,” the man said softly.
Shen Fanxing walked to Chu Yi’s production team. After all, some of them had seen the world.
When she saw Shen Fanxing, she recognized her immediately.
Shen Fanxing greeted them. Not long after, Xiao Zhao called for a few people to bring in a few boxes of coffee and milk tea for everyone.
Everyone on set looked flattered.
Shen Fanxing couldn’t stand the atmosphere. Chu Yi brought her around the filming set.
Coincidentally, she met Liang Xuer, who was filming.
Liang Xuer was surprised to see Shen Fanxing.
“Sister-in-law?”
Shen Fanxing looked at her in surprise.
“Miss Liang.”
“Sister-in-law, why are you here?”
“Just strolling around.”
Liang Xuer nodded at Chu Yi. She had a Xianxia drama to collaborate with Chu Yi in the future. They had already seen it twice during the publicity.
“Xu’er, someone sent flowers again.” Someone shouted from behind. Shen Fanxing looked at the huge bouquet of red roses and smiled. “Go ahead and do your work. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Liang Xuer hurriedly signed and accepted the flowers. When she saw Shen Fanxing and Chu Yi’s backs, she chased after them.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Yes?”
Liang Xuer bit her lips and asked in a low voice,
“Sister-in-law, do you know where Tingshen is now?”
Shen Fanxing frowned and said, “Miss Liang, you’re his girlfriend.”
Asking her about this?
Was it appropriate?
Liang Xuer bit the corner of her lips, looking delicate and aggrieved.
“I’m just asking. I’ve been filming these few days. I want to know what he’s doing recently…”
“It’s a pity that I don’t have the habit of prying into other people’s men. If you really want to know, you can call him.
Liang Xuer took a deep breath in frustration. “I… threw a tantrum with him not long ago.”
Shen Fanxing paused and asked, “So you’re waiting for him to coax you?”
Liang Xuer didn’t answer.
Shen Fanxing suddenly recalled Linlin at the orphanage and Ye Qingqiu at Mansion Number 8. A chill ran down her spine.
She didn’t know why, but she was really curious. Even though Li Tingshen looked well-dressed and elegant, she could tell at a glance that he wasn’t a good person. He was full of evil tricks, heartless, and chauvinistic.
How could he take the initiative to coax a woman?
Shen Fanxing had no intention of staying with Liang Xuer any longer.
She bid farewell and was about to leave when Liang Xuer seemed to have read her mind. She said softly,
“You also think that someone like him doesn’t know how to please women?”
“…”
Shen Fanxing didn’t reply. Liang Xuer said firmly in a cold voice,
“He will.”
He would skip a meal because of a woman who threw a tantrum at him. He could go through half of Ping Cheng City in the heavy rain and bring back a dish from a restaurant that she liked. He would either threaten her or comfort her in a low voice.
Regardless of the truth of their relationship, this didn’t mean that he didn’t know how to please women.
That woman was probably the most unreasonable person in the world.
Correspondingly, he was probably the only man in the world who knew how to please and coax women.
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips calmly.
“I don’t know him well. Since you say he knows how to do it, you might as well wait and see.”
Clearly, Liang Xuer had been waiting.
She was in no position to say so much to her.

After driving back to the company, she only received a script.
On the title page was the name and phone number of the author who wrote the script. Her gaze flashed past and she opened the script. She leaned back in her chair and read it casually.
However, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Her train of thought was interrupted when her secretary came in to deliver the documents.
Shen Fanxing closed the script and massaged her temples.
This script…
Her starry eyes stared at the phone on the title page as many things flashed across her mind. The characters in the script, the scene inside, and Zhao Zimo’s cheongsam…
After a long while, she picked up her phone and dialed the number on the script.
The call was answered almost instantly and an expectant voice sounded.
“Hello? I’m Tang Yazhe.”
Shen Fanxing stared at the signature on the title page and said,
“I’m Shen Fanxing from Stars International. I’m very interested in your script today. I suggest signing the contract immediately. Also, how about I give you the position of producer?”
Producers were the masters of the production team. They had the right to decide which director and actors to use. The quality and progress of the filming, from the formation of the film to the release of the film, were the core of the entire film.
There was a long silence on the other end. After nearly a minute, there was a low and bitter laugh.
“… CEO Shen, your success is not without reason.”
Shen Fanxing didn’t respond and her voice was cold.
“It doesn’t matter to you whether I succeed or not! What matters is that you only have this one chance to make a comeback.”
“I know.”
After hanging up, Tang Yazhe was stunned for a long time before he smiled.
It didn’t matter what happened to others. What mattered was how she was.
It was human nature to be selfish!
Hence, Shen Fanxing’s success was not without reason…
