Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 797: Sheng Tang’s Confidence

After that, they didn’t talk about it anymore.

Gu Jiahui pretended not to know.

He didn’t even ask Sheng Tang for anything, like not taking Gu Shiting’s calls or not meeting with him.

Gu Jiahui never does pointless things, nor does he put himself in embarrassing positions.

All his patience for dealing with awkwardness and discomfort was reserved for Yang Mingming.

After Sheng Tang brought it up, she didn’t discuss it any further either.

When Gu Shiting called her, she didn’t answer. She still hadn’t figured out how to interact with him.

In the afternoon, Sheng Tang invited Ke Fei and Ai’ai to her home to talk about work.

She gave the script of "The Genius Girl" to Ke Fei to look at.

Ke Fei finished reading the script and quickly dismissed it.

"Can you tell me why you’re interested in this script?" Ke Fei asked.

Sheng Tang: "I think the box office will be good."

Ke Fei: "..."

Back then, she insisted on filming "The Road to the Top," everyone disagreed, but Sheng Tang was optimistic about the project, and it became a great success.

Now, she also believes "The Genius Girl" is good.

"Let me tell you why I rejected it." Ke Fei explained calmly and logically, "Firstly, the ’genius’ theme isn’t really an attraction.

In recent years, ’genius’ has been overused. Films didn’t do it justice, and audiences went in expecting a lot, only to see nonsensical character setups. As soon as they see the word ’genius’, they think of ’flop’ or ’sham’. The first impression is very bad."

Secondly, in the current society dominated by male authority, if a female movie wants good box office results, both male and female audiences want to see a beautiful and attractive protagonist, but the heroine of "The Genius Girl" is disabled.

I’m not discriminating against disabled people. I’m saying that watching a movie is a very private experience, a release of an internal desire. A disabled girl can’t provide that satisfaction to the audience. Fundamentally, it might fail."

Thirdly, biology is a high-level science that the average person can’t understand. The story’s core is too profound. Most moviegoers want a relaxed experience and won’t choose such a complex movie."

If you’re aiming for awards and want to make an artistic film, then taking this movie is fine. But at this stage, you’d better make two more commercial films."

You should know, actors in artistic films mostly live very hard lives and have little influence. If your positioning is for artistic films, then I might need to change my approach."

Sheng Tang knew Ke Fei’s vision was sharp.

Everything he said was correct.

However, the success of any film cannot be predicted.

Reliable directors and actors mean guaranteed box office, but it doesn’t mean every film they make will succeed.

In Sheng Tang’s world, "The Genius Girl" was a huge success.

It seemed to have made 200 million at the box office back then.

During that time, the movie market wasn’t as big as it is now. 200 million then could mean 800 million or even 1 billion now.

Sheng Tang wasn’t saying she believed the directors and actors in this world could replicate the film, but it did have a 30% chance of success.

At this point, it comes down to luck.

"I’m not only looking to make artistic films, Brother Fei," Sheng Tang said seriously, "I think this movie can be a big hit, a successful commercial film."

Ke Fei furrowed his brows slightly. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ai’ai also looked nervously at Sheng Tang and Ke Fei.

As an observer, Ai’ai believed Brother Fei’s analysis was more professional.

Sheng Tang also acknowledged Ke Fei’s professionalism.

She still wanted to try.

If this movie succeeded again, then in the future, whenever Sheng Tang mentioned a script, Ke Fei and Ai’ai probably wouldn’t show any hesitation.

At that time, their team would truly be centered around Sheng Tang, serving her.

She was striving for such a team.
