Chapter 288 Transoceanic Call

“Expedite the contact with Xuan Yao Company.”

Just as a foreign director was trying to get a piece of the pie, Charles' phone call went directly to Lu Xuan's mobile phone.

“My dear Lu, I contributed to the box office of your *Hero*! Congratulations, you already have a lot of loyal fans here!”

Lu Xuan listened to the somewhat familiar tone on the phone.

But for a moment, he couldn't remember who it was.

After all, he had a rather low recognition rate for foreigners.

“Is that so? That’s great.”

Lu Xuan said perfunctorily, while trying to figure out who it was.

Su Yao, who was beside him, handed him a piece of paper with amusement.

"Charles" was written on it.

"This is Charles. This call is probably about *Ip Man*."

After Su Yao's reminder, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered.

Charles, seeing that Lu Xuan hadn't responded for a long time, jokingly said in an exaggerated tone, “Lu, my friend, you haven't forgotten me, have you? If you really forgot me, I would be so sad!”

“I am far away, but I have been thinking about my friend. When your movie was released, I took my family to the cinema to support it. If you forget me, I think we need to have a good chat about my mental damage fee.”

Listening to Charles' playful voice on the phone, Lu Xuan really thought this foreigner had a pretty good personality.

At least within the range he could accept.

He said, “How could I? My friend, I am still dealing with the aftermath of *Hero*. You know the current situation of the movie, so I still have to handle the ending well.”

Charles' tone was tinged with envy.

“Lu, I really don’t know how your brain is structured. Did God secretly add something extra when he created you? My God, you are really the most perfect person I have ever seen, so perfect that I can't even feel jealous.”

“If I could make these works of yours, I would die without regrets, but now there is no such opportunity.”

Charles' words were somewhat flattering, but the meaning in his words pointed to the movie.

It seemed that he hadn't learned Chinese for nothing.

He didn't have that blunt feeling of foreigners, which Lu Xuan liked very much.

Lu Xuan had previously promised Charles that they would work together to film *Ip Man*.

But he was too busy, so he forgot about it.

Now, seeing that the performance of Chinese kung fu movies in the overseas market exceeded everyone's expectations, Charles finally couldn't sit still.

He took the initiative to call his dearest friend.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, “Charles, you didn't just call me to congratulate me, did you?”

Charles laughed on the other end of the phone and said, “Ahem, of course, congratulating you is the main thing.”

“Then I'll hang up now.”

“No, no, no, Lu, that’s not fair!”

Charles' tone was somewhat ingratiating, and he said, “Do you remember that great idea, *Ip Man*? Now is the time to film it!”

“You are in China, you don’t know how obsessed the market is with kung fu, this ancient and mysterious thing. This is the best time for us to enter the market!”

“We can take advantage of the path blazed by your movie *Hero* to create more glory!”

“Lu, this is our common cause!”

Charles' tone was very impassioned. It could be seen that he was already a little excited just thinking about the movie.

But Lu Xuan was not very interested.

He couldn't spare so much time to film *Ip Man* right now.

Moreover, after the settlement of the films he had made, the rewards given by the system were also very good, and he had many more choices.

Being able to choose the script himself, then *Ip Man* would have to be postponed!

“Charles, don't be so excited, calm down first, now is not the best time.”

“Think about it, *Hero* has caused this upsurge, then there will be a group of followers in the market now, but our *Ip Man* is not the kind of shoddy result!”

“So we have to wait quietly until the market returns to calm, and then throw a bomb into it!”

Lu Xuan knew that he couldn't impress Charles just by saying this, so he simply took out some dry goods to persuade this stubborn foreigner.

“The script is already in my head. When to shoot depends on when this trend blows over.”

“But before that, I can tell you about the current plan.”

Charles' attention was drawn to the script by Lu Xuan.

He quickly asked, “Then tell me, what are your plans?”

“First of all, this movie is a pure kung fu movie. Chinese kung fu will face martial arts masters from all over the world, so I will find some martial arts actors who really have unique skills.”

“You have to know that only I know how to make an authentic kung fu movie.”

“So this is a process that needs to be polished. I need to find suitable actors, find a venue, and even our extras must have some kung fu skills. Charles, this is a big project!”

Lu Xuan felt that he should draw a big pancake for Charles, the kind that would make him full in one bite.

This would dispel his current speculative thoughts.

“You also need to find some boxing masters, or foreigners from other schools. We need to present a visual feast of fist-to-flesh combat for everyone!”

“For example, boxing champion!”

“And we have to stand up to scrutiny. Every detail can be actually replicated in reality.”

“Do you know what this means!”

“We will become the spreaders of kung fu. This ancient and mysterious heritage will be unveiled in our movies!”

“So this matter can't be rushed!”

Lu Xuan's words made Charles feel a little congested in his head.

He had yearned for mysterious kung fu since he was a child, and even hoped to come to China to learn kung fu.

But for various reasons, this matter was put on hold.

However, the prospect that Lu Xuan painted for him made him feel that his childhood wish seemed to be realized in another form!

This sense of accomplishment made Charles a little obsessed!

“Lu, then I will start preparing now!”

“You are right, our goal is far-reaching, so we have to take it slowly now!”

“I believe that treating this matter so carefully will definitely reward us with unimaginable rewards!”

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth.

“Charles, if you can really understand my thoughts, that would be great!”

“I believe that in the future, you will definitely feel fortunate for the decision you made today!”
