89: Chapter 89 Film Shooting Preparations

...

On the top floor of the Third-Party Technology Building,

After Ye Yunjie carefully signed off on the documents on his desk, he leaned back in his executive chair to enjoy the prosperity of Binhai City. He thoroughly enjoyed this job; at only 25 years old, he was already the general manager of a branch office, with over a thousand people under him. He was truly a winner in life.

Ye Yunjie felt extremely fortunate to have joined this company during its startup phase a year ago.

At the time, his graduating classmates had even tried to dissuade him, saying this enterprise was unreliable and that it would be better to accept an offer from a large company together. But now...

Thinking back to last week's class reunion, Ye Yunjie couldn't help but feel a secret surge of satisfaction; he had been the star of that gathering.

It was too fast; the company's rise had been too rapid. Just as he had gone from head of the marketing department to general manager, the company had gone from being obscure to a hundred-billion-yuan enterprise. This speed was enough to shock anyone, and it was still developing and expanding. Ye Yunjie had also heard that the company had established a branch in Switzerland and that the CEO had gone there, but he didn't know the specifics.

In Ye Yunjie's view, his company was very mysterious. Even from his position, he could only see the tip of the iceberg.

Just like the founder of this enterprise.

Ye Yunjie recalled the afternoon he had reported the data of the Fangzhi Browser to him. Truth be told, he had only met the big boss twice so far.

But Ye Yunjie knew very well that the young entrepreneurs or leading figures reported by the domestic media were nothing compared to that young man!

Few people knew that such a behemoth was hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake.

Beep—

While Ye Yunjie was still dreaming about the future, a notification sound chimed from his office computer.

It was the Star Hub system. Could the head office have a task? Ye Yunjie straightened up. As a general manager, he naturally had access to this system. Generally speaking, unless it was something important, this system that secretly managed the entire company wouldn't make a sound.

"I'll be at the company in ten minutes."

Huh? It wasn't a task instruction. Ye Yunjie looked at the message displayed on the system in surprise. Who was so powerful that they could send a message using the Star Hub system?

Lin... Lin Fang?

Who is this? the young manager muttered.

A few seconds later, as it dawned on him, Ye Yunjie's pupils dilated and his mouth fell open. A hysterical scream rang out from the office. Under the surprised gaze of his assistant, a madman ran out of the office, looking as frantic as if he were about to jump off this 52nd floor.

"What's going on? Is the sky falling?"

...

The first-floor lobby was very spacious, and its decoration style indeed matched the innovative nature of Third-Party Technology—simple and sharp, yet pulsing with a strong sense of the future. It must have been working hours, as there weren't many people in the lobby. Aside from the two receptionists behind the counter and the panting general manager, Lin Fang didn't see many figures.

The moment Lin Fang stepped inside,

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the two receptionists, Ye Yunjie struggled to steady his breathing, fine beads of sweat still hanging on his forehead, but his face was filled with a respectful smile.

"Welcome, Chairman Lin, for your inspection!"

Ye Yunjie's solo applause echoed in the lobby, followed by the two receptionists who were slow to react. It wasn't until the two men stepped into the elevator that they realized what had happened.

One of them clutched her head, her face contorted:

"Nannan, did I hear that right? Was that the big boss who just walked in? No one notified us! Oh my Buddha, why was it only the manager welcoming him? Is the management team too full from lunch to function?"

"Workplace politics are terrifying. I have to quickly leak this in our little group chat."

The girl called Nannan just looked at the elevator doors and sighed, "Sigh, when he walked in, I even thought of what our children's names would be. Now there's no hope."

"It's always got to be you, you little flirt."

The elevator doors had already closed, cutting off the two girls' whispering.

In the enclosed space, looking at Lin Fang, who was wearing a black turtleneck shirt and exuded an overwhelming pressure, Ye Yunjie looked somewhat uneasy, especially since he didn't know the purpose of the boss's visit today.

But a qualified subordinate needs to know how to read the room. Ye Yunjie took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Boss, you haven't been here before. Would you like me to give you a tour of the company first?"

"No need,"

Lin Fang's expression remained unchanged as he asked directly, "Does the company have any film and television-related business right now?"

Film and television?

Ye Yunjie's mind raced, and in just a moment, he answered truthfully, "Boss, short dramas adapted from novels have been quite popular recently. The company has invested in a few short dramas that are currently filming, but they're all small-scale operations."

Ye Yunjie answered cautiously, "Does the boss want to enter the film and television industry?"

Third-Party Technology had the qualifications now. If they really wanted to do it, a capital shark would easily tear into this circle.

Lin Fang nodded. "Make it a bit better."

Ye Yunjie's heart tightened, and he hurriedly made a guarantee. This would be the area he focused on most in his subsequent work.

—

"Have you seen the wandering earth? Buy its rights and we'll film the third installment. Try to bring in the original studio's director and actors as well."

In the conference room, several high-level executives showed surprised expressions upon hearing Lin Fang's words. Even if they hadn't seen the movie that was said to have opened the doors of Central Continent science fiction, they had at least heard of it. They hadn't expected the company's first movie to cause such a huge stir.

But no one had any objections. The few people present were all smart enough to understand who the company's decision-maker was.

Not to mention, Ye Yunjie was glaring at them intensely.

"Who is the person in charge?" Lin Fang took out a freshly printed script, one written by himself and Little Black.

"Chairman Lin, it's me!"

An anonymous person who had just been promoted said excitedly.

"One last requirement: the movie can only be filmed according to the script I provide."

After Lin Fang gave him the script, the meeting ended hurriedly. This was Lin Fang's attempt; he wanted to see if filming a sequel could affect the direction of the wandering earth plane. If it could, then there would be many more possibilities.

The "the wandering earth III" script provided by Little Black had completely departed from the original work. If the original was a human space tragedy, the new script was instead a happy, harmonious ending.

On the basis of the plot not collapsing, humanity strove for self-improvement, technology levels increased greatly, and many black technologies appeared. It only took 100 years to find a suitable new home and flourish, becoming a true interstellar colonial civilization.

Uh...

If Da Liu could spend 2,500 years pushing the Earth along, Lin Fang felt his adaptation wasn't too outrageous.

As for the protests from the original fans of this movie, who would care?
