Divine Lucky Star
Chapter 280 - Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Laughing Proudly in Jianghu

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Laughing Proudly in Jianghu! Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Laughing Proudly in Jianghu! The main characters of this Kung Fu story were mostly established, and Wang Hao began to describe the plot to everyone. “Initially,” he said, “the Sect Leader of Song Mountain, Zuo Lengchan, summoned the Five Mountains Sects to the Feng Mountain Platform to discuss nominating the Alliance Hierarch, aimed at dealing with the invasion of Ren Woxing from the Demon Sect. However, Ren Woxing suddenly appeared, intending to annihilate the Five Sects. None of the four sects could match him. Fortunately, when he was competing with Zuo Lengchan, he had to stop and leave due to a backlash from his True Qi. Everyone thought Zuo Lengchan matched him evenly, so they chose Zuo Lengchan as the Five Mountains Swords Sect Alliance Hierarch.”

“On the other hand, to recover from his injuries, Ren Woxing handed over the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to the Vice Sect Hierarch, Dongfang Bubai, who then started to eliminate dissenters. Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Bright Right Envoy, Xiang Wentian, and the elder Qu Yang, both masters, were forced to leave…”

Wang Hao’s introduction of this plot stemmed from his favorite version by the big star Lv Songxian from his previous life on Earth.

This version of “Swordsman” was quite closer to the original work, and the characters matched perfectly with the original. Therefore, it was the best choice to use directly here.

Otherwise, speaking directly from the original would require considering adaptations, which would be overly troublesome.

“…Later, Lin Pingzhi persuaded Yue Lingshan to take medicine, and the two began to develop feelings,” Wang Hao continued, seeming to find his stride as he spoke through more than a dozen episodes’ worth of plot. “Soon, the two started to pair up, which displeased the other disciples. One day, Linghu Chong accidentally knocked her prized sword off a cliff while sparring with Yue Lingshan, causing her to deeply resent Linghu Chong…”

He spoke to this point, and the audience below gritted their teeth in rage!

“That Lin Pingzhi is really despicable, the protagonist saves him and he even steals the protagonist’s wife!”

“Exactly, exactly, such a villain! That woman is no good either!”

At that moment, Lan Zihuang threw a flirtatious look at Wang Hao. “Brother Hao, is it almost my turn to appear?”

“Hehe, when our Purple Phoenix appears, it has to shock the heavens and move spirits!” Wang Hao chuckled decisively. “You’re about to appear! At that moment, Linghu Chong at Repent Cliff encounters Tian Boguang challenging him, unable to defeat him after several attempts. Then, an old man appears–He spends a day and a night teaching the protagonist a swordsmanship technique named Dugu Nine Sword, which was created by the world’s number one swordsman, Dugu Qiubai!”

Wang Hao’s narration astonished everyone!

The plot had already captivated them completely, and who would have imagined that the real brilliance was only beginning!

Because it was only here that the protagonist, Linghu Chong, began to learn the top swordsmanship in the world!

“Awesome!” Boss Ren slapped the table hard, gasping breathlessly, “This plot is simply sublime and intensely intriguing! Look at this! Look at this! We haven’t even started filming, and just describing the plot is this exciting! This is what you call a script! This is a masterpiece!” He said as he hugged Wang Hao’s neck, laughing, “Brother, what’s the name of this series?”

Wang Hao responded cheerfully with four words–

“Swordsman!”

“Swordsman!”

Hearing the name of the series, the crew members below, already spellbound, instantly erupted into cheers.

“This is truly a fantastic series! If this gets filmed, it’s sure to be a hit!”

“Exactly, exactly, this is what you call thrilling twists and turns, this is pace, this is climax, this is anticipation! Compared to this ‘Swordsman,’ that previous ‘Swordsman of the Martial World’ is just trash!”

“That’s right, look at the plot arrangement here, simply unbeatable!”

The crowd below buzzed with discussion, and Boss Ren, filled with surprises, emphatically patted Wang Hao’s shoulder. “Swordsman! Good! This name is good! It’s high-end, classy, and top-notch! This is it, absolutely no issues!”

“Brother Hao, I’m truly impressed!” Lan Zihuang was full of admiration, those little eyes sparkling, “No wonder you could write such a good book like ‘Fight Breaker’! This is the script I want to shoot!”

Everyone on-site was exhilarated!

If this script were to be filmed, not to mention anything else, just the plot alone would definitely make it explosively popular!

Director Yang Shoulin even specifically asked, “Brother Hao, with such a great plot, you have to make sure the theme song is good too! Don’t let a divine series be ruined by the theme song! Do you have any ideas now?”

Upon hearing Director Yang’s words, everyone present suddenly quieted down again.

Sure, this film is excellent, but did you know Wang Hao is also a songwriter and composer?

Oh my god, this guy is seriously an all-rounder, isn’t he?!

Novels! Screenwriting! Songs! Skilled in everything!

“I actually have a song that’s perfect for this,” Wang Hao said with a sly smile, “but I can’t reveal it now because I want to keep it as a surprise. Wait until I finish the music, and then you’ll see. Everyone will be satisfied!”

As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, Boss Ren roared loudly in approval, “Great! With Brother Wang’s word, I can rest assured this film will definitely be a hit!” He said, grinning at Wang Hao, “Brother, considering the plot and set up are so great, when can you have the script ready?”

“Well…” Wang Hao scratched his head…

Boss Ren didn’t wait for a reply, he slapped an invoice on the table, “Just fill in whatever amount you want for your fee! I promise you won’t be at loss. The only requirement is that the script must be done quickly! I can hardly wait to start acting in ‘Ren Woxing’!”

“Wow!” When the others heard what Boss Ren said, they were all incredibly envious!

Just fill in the numbers on the check–what kind of treatment is this? Unheard of!

It does seem exaggerated, but given the plot and setup, any price would be worth it!

“Speaking of which, it’s not really about the money,” Wang Hao said looking a bit troubled, “The issue is I’m just too busy. I can come over to help, but I might not have the time to write the script…”

“What?!” Boss Ren was instantly shocked, “You really don’t have the time? Oh, what can we do now!” He quickly turned to Xia Xueqi, “Hey, that lady, yes, you, you’re Brother Wang’s agent, right? Can you check if he can make some time?”

Xia Xueqi quickly took out her phone to check the schedule, then shook her head helplessly: “Brother Hao could help for a day or two, but anything longer won’t work! He is already booked for the next half month, and the bookings keep increasing…”

Everyone around gasped in disbelief!

Now they had the plot and setup, everyone was thrilled, but Brother Hao had no available dates!

What to do?!

“Though I don’t have time, isn’t Mr. Meng still here?” Wang Hao looked at Meng Zenan and said with a smile, “I think with Mr. Meng’s experience, writing this script shouldn’t be a problem.”

Previously, it was like knocking out Meng Zenan and Hou Yu, the two screenwriters, with a cudgel. Now was the time to offer them some sweet dates–after all, Wang Hao knew his own situation. He was busy with various things daily, so it was impossible for him to focus on writing the script. Therefore, the best course of action was to leave the plot up in the air and find someone else to write the script.

And whom to approach at this moment? Obviously, it was best to find the master-apprentice duo of Meng Zenan and Hou Yu.

But the problem was, Wang Hao intended to give them two a way out, but unexpectedly, Meng Zenan started to bargain hard!

“I definitely can write the script,” Meng Zenan, seizing Wang Hao’s lack of time, boastfully crossed his arms and grinned, “But regarding the terms, they still need some discussion.”

“How much do you want?” As soon as Boss Ren heard this, he instantly became unhappy, his eyes narrowing slightly, “Name your price!”

Meng Zenan proudly said, “Three million, not a penny less! And the script must be credited under my name!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao was infuriated!

Damn, I kindly give you a way out, and you take that as a chance to be insatiable?

You’re just writing a script based on my plot and setting. Not only are you demanding an outrageous amount, but you also want your name to be credited as the screenwriter? Whose copyright would it be then?!

“Mr. Meng, isn’t this a bit too much?” Even Boss Ren was displeased, “You know very well how much work you need to do. To directly ask for three million is truly extortionate!”

As soon as Boss Ren finished speaking, the rest of the crew nodded in agreement.

Just to fill in some lines, and he asks for three million? And the screenwriter has to be listed as him?
