Chapter 472 The Richest Man in Xihong City

"Shaolin Soccer?" Zhou Xingxing frowned and said, "Although football is the world's largest sport, the domestic football environment is not good. This is bound to affect the audience of this theme!"

Shen Lang nodded. Chinese football was in such a mess that even the parallel universe seemed to be affected, which was despairing!
A good football market can attract many non-hardcore fans to pay attention to football and related industries.

And movies are also affected by the market.

The most intuitive example is "Goal: Fame" in another time and space.

This football-themed movie, released in 2005, became a worldwide hit. What year was 2005?
Batistuta has only just retired, but the well-known superstars are still pouring their passion and sweat on the court.

The subsequent sequels did not perform as well as expected in the market. On the one hand, this was because the film lacked the excitement of the little people’s struggles, and on the other hand, it was also related to the decline of the global football market.

Therefore, Stephen Chow is not optimistic about movies with football as the theme.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is not football, this is Shaolin football! Combining Kung Fu and football, do you think it will work?"

"Yeah?" Zhou Xingxing was originally a Kung Fu fan, and he was immediately excited when he heard this.

When he opened the script and started reading, he was immediately attracted by the content of the script.

The movie is full of the "comedy style" of screenwriter Shen Lang, a cripple who once had a glorious life and a Shaolin disciple who makes a living by picking up garbage.

It's a story about how he remained unyielding in the face of suppression from the villain Qiang Xiong, and ultimately succeeded in reaching the pinnacle of his life.

It's simple, but the details are outstanding.

"If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and salted fish?"

"The Earth is very dangerous, you should go back to Mars!"

"I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a second. I'm sorry for playing football with you losers for no reason. You know I'm such a straight person. I'm sorry for playing with you, a cripple, for no reason. Please forgive me for being so straight. And I'm sorry for winning the game for no reason. The probability of this is lower than zero!"

Before getting off the car, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help laughing out loud.

This scared the driver so much that his eyes almost popped out.

He knew very well what his boss was doing these days, and he looked like he didn't want anyone to come near him.

What kind of magic does Mr. Shen have that makes him so powerful?

……

Shen Lang was born to be a hard worker. Not long after returning to China, he started filming "Shaolin Soccer".

Zhou Xingxing tried hard to invite Shen Lang to play a role in the movie, but Shen Lang refused.

In a movie about Stephen Chow set in another time and space, the script is built around the protagonist Stephen Chow.

It is too difficult to stand out in the play. In order to pay tribute to Uncle Da, Shen Lang is determined not to play the roles played by him. As a result, Shen Lang looks down on other roles and has to give up.

However, what really kept Shen Lang busy was another movie.

"Brother Lang, do you know that the entire crew has been idle for more than a month waiting for you to join the group!" Peng Mo was so excited that tears fell when he saw Shen Lang rushing back from Hong Kong Island.

"You have the time to perfect the script! What do you think? Last time you said you found another theme about a loser's counterattack and asked me to play the role of a loser. Do I really look like a loser?" Shen Lang glared at Peng Mo.

Peng Mo nodded: "Yes!"

"Hahahaha!"

Only old brothers can afford to take a joke. Although Shen Lang admires Stephen Chow's comedic talent, he is too much like the Star Master in another time and space. He is extremely dull and a paranoid on the set, making everyone panic.

It’s more fun to come here with Peng Mo and his brothers.

"Come, let me see what the script is like. What role will I play?" Shen Lang opened the untitled script and saw the first page read: "A remake of 'Burnust's Millions'!"

"Bunust's Millions"?
Why does Shen Lang feel so familiar with this name at first glance?

Turn to the next page!
Damn it...

white paper.

"No, Brother Peng, I call you Brother. You have assembled the crew and rented the equipment. This is your script? A remake of "Burnust's Millions"? What is this?" Shen Lang was speechless.

I rushed back from Hong Kong Island in a hurry, but who knew I would end up joining a fake crew.

Peng Mo hurriedly said, "Brother Lang, don't worry. You've won the Oscar for Best Screenplay twice. You have to write this script!"

"Ah? So it's my fault?" Shen Lang was speechless.

Peng Mo smiled and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Brother has already set up two tables at Honglang. When the time comes, you can wash your feet while writing the script. Inspiration will burst forth and ideas will flow..."

"Fuck!" Everyone around me knows about this little hobby!
Joking aside, Peng Mo had already prepared the movie "Burnust's Millions" and started playing it as soon as everyone sat down.

This is an old movie from the 80s, about the same age as Shen Lang.

The story is about a second-rate baseball player, Monty, who needs to spend $30 million within a month before he can inherit a legacy of $300 million.

When Shen Lang first saw this setting, he was completely stunned.

No, isn’t this fucking “The Richest Man in Xihong City”?

Co-authored…

Is “The Richest Man in Xihong City” a remake?

Looking at Shen Lang's surprised face, Peng Mo asked in confusion: "Brother Lang, what's wrong? Do you have any inspiration?"

Shen Lang turned to look at him in astonishment: "I want to say that I saw the beginning and the script is already there. Do you believe it?"

The assistant directors behind the two looked at each other and saw a sentence in each other's eyes: "Are you not afraid of biting your tongue in the strong wind? You are the Oscar-winning screenwriter, but you can come up with a script just by looking at the opening? That's not how you brag, right?"

Others didn't understand Shen Lang, but his own director seemed to be brainwashed: "Brother Lang, I believe everything you say. I believe you even if you say you can finish the script in half an hour with every detail perfect!"

"It's over, it's over!"

Crazy, this crew is too crazy, the mouse is the bridesmaid for the cat, the screenwriter is an idiot, and the director is also infected.

Without saying a word, Shen Lang asked for paper and pen and wrote five big words on the paper.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City"

"Great!" Peng Mo cheered immediately after seeing the five big words, "Brother Lang, this is a tribute to "Charlotte's Troubles", right? The school that Charlotte attended was named Xihong City by Mr. Gu at the time! No matter how wild Brother Lang is, he still has his sister-in-law in his heart!"

Shen Lang ignored this guy and started writing on the paper:

1. Empty shot

From a bird's eye view of the entire Xihong City, there are tall buildings everywhere, and the streets are bustling with traffic.

2. High-end restaurant, daytime, indoors

Wang Duoyu, wearing a suit and tie, sat far away from the dining table, staring at Mr. Jin, who was sitting opposite the table, with wide eyes.

Wang Duoyu: The older a goalkeeper gets, the better he becomes. I don’t know which leader of your team picked me out of the crowd. Although I’m 37, I’m in my physical prime now because I developed late. Plus I’m young, so I’m confident I can play until I’m 60, which is exactly in line with the legal retirement age in our country…
