Chapter 122: Take Action to Intercept Blind Sister"The Richest Tomato" is still making great strides. After half a month, the box office has accumulated to billion. After 15 days of release, "The Richest Tomato" broke the box office record of last year's "Charlotte's Troubles". For a moment, the media reporters were in a collective climax. "The Richest Tomato Sets a New Box Office Record" "Cross-border director Yang Hao creates new miracles" …… The two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei of Huayi were the ones who felt the most uncomfortable with the success of "The Richest Tomato". "Zhonglei, last time I told you that we were going to try to poach Li Guoan, what's the situation now?" Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were sitting on the sofa in the office and talking. "No, I really don't know what benefits that grandson of Yang Hao promised him. I promised that as long as he helps us direct a movie, he doesn't need to do anything, and he can get 5% of the net profit as a reward." When talking about the progress of poaching Li Guoan, Wang Zhonglei was furious. "I get angry when I see Yang Hao's grandson being so proud of himself. Should we continue to snipe him next time his movie is released?" Wang Zhonglei was still very dissatisfied with Yang Hao's success this time.
Compared with Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun is much more mature. After listening to his brother's words, Wang Zhongjun shook his head decisively and said, "Forget it. Yang Hao is a bit weird. I have carefully inquired about his background recently. He has invested in five or six movies and TV series in the two years since his debut, and all of them were big hits. It is better not to offend such an investment vision. Didn't Yang Hao also invite Huang Xiaoming to invest in "BJ Meets Seattle" directed by Xue Xiaolu? Let's find an opportunity to let Xiaoming mediate and repair the relationship with Yang Hao, and see if Huayi can also participate in Yang Hao's future projects." Wang Zhongjun is a mature businessman after all, and he doesn't act on impulse. Since he can't beat the other party at the moment, he might as well join them. - The entertainment industry is big, but it is actually also small. It is small because news cannot be hidden in the entertainment industry. Yang Hao recently heard that Liu Shishi will collaborate with Wu Qilong on a new play "The Sharp and Kind Teacher". If I remember correctly, Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong first collaborated on "Startling by Each Step" and "Scarlet Heart", and "The Sharp Teacher" was the third drama they collaborated on. This third play must be interrupted and they cannot continue to work together. If they continue to cooperate, the child will probably be born out of cooperation. What can you think of? Suddenly Yang Hao had an idea. Originally, Xia Jie was supposed to play the role in "The Blade Strikes 1", but Yang Hao replaced Xia Jie in order to win over Da Mimi. So is it "Blade Identity 2", can the heroine Hokusai be replaced by Blind Sister? If Sister Xia takes on this movie, it means she has a chance. It’s time to take action to intercept Blind Sister. - Ever since Xie Nan and Wu Jing treated him to a private meal last time, Yang Hao now also likes to treat people to meals, so he invites people to private restaurants. The location is remote, elegant and quiet, and most importantly, the private dishes are also delicious, which is really suitable for public figures like them. In the private dining room, Yang Haozheng and Lu Yang were eating and drinking while chatting about interesting things in the entertainment industry. "Junior brother, what's the urgent matter that made you invite me out for dinner in such a hurry?" Although the taste of this private dish is indeed excellent, the food will not taste good unless I know what the matter is. "Well, senior brother, the post-production of "The Blade of the Assassin" should be completed!" Yang Hao did not directly answer Lu Yang's question, but asked a question first. "The post-production of 'Blade of the Assassin' has been completed. Junior brother, just tell me what you want to say. You're hesitating like this and the food isn't even tasty anymore," Lu Yang said with some complaint. "Okay! Then I'll tell you directly, senior brother, have you ever thought about starting filming "Assassin 2" now?" After hearing Lu Yang's words, Yang Hao no longer concealed it and directly told him the purpose of this meal. "Cough! Cough!" Lu Yang was startled when he heard Yang Hao's words. A mouthful of food choked his throat and he kept coughing. It took him a long time to catch his breath. "Junior brother, did I hear you right? You just said "Blade Master 2"?" Lu Yang asked uncertainly. "Yes, it is "Blade Master 2"," Yang Hao nodded and answered with certainty. "No, Junior Brother, you don't have a fever, do you? The 1st Blade of the Assassin hasn't been released yet? And you're going to shoot the 2nd Blade of the Assassin now. If the 1st Blade of the Assassin flopped, the 2nd Blade of the Assassin won't even have a chance to be released."
As Lu Yang was speaking, he was about to touch Yang Hao's forehead to see if Yang Hao had a fever. Yang Hao waved away the hand that Lu Yang extended and said seriously: "Senior Brother, I am very sober now." "If you are sober, then what are you talking about..." "Brother, just tell me a number. Just tell me how much investment budget is needed to start filming "Assassin 2" now? I will pay it all," Yang Hao interrupted what Lu Yang wanted to say just now, and said arrogantly that I would pay for it. "Uh..." Lu Yang was originally planning to persuade Yang Hao, but was stunned by Yang Hao's arrogant words. When making movies in the entertainment industry, some people shoot two parts at the same time because it saves money if one crew shoots two movies. But no one is making a second part before the previous one is released. Isn't this just a complete injustice? "Junior brother, the script hasn't been written yet?" Lu Yang explained. "I'll add money." "Um, Junior Brother, this..." "I'll add money" …… The simple three words "I'll add money" made Lu Yang unable to say the countless words in his heart. I could only secretly complain in my heart: "In "The Blade of the Assassin", are you playing Shen Lian, or the monk Ding Xiu who charges extra money?" Most things in the world are not done, and the reason is that people are not paid enough. Under Yang Hao's domineering aura, Lu Yang quickly surrendered. "Junior brother, it's just a script. It can be written quickly. We can prepare for it now and start shooting next month," Lu Yang said loudly, patting his chest. "Junior brother, do you have any other requests?" Yang Hao paid so much money by himself. If the other party didn't make some requests, Lu Yang would always feel uneasy. This money is too hot to handle. "I have only one request, senior brother, go talk to Liu Shishi right now, she must be the heroine of 'Knife Assassin 2'" This play was made possible because of Liu Shishi, it is a typical case of where there are talented people, there are plays. "Oh..." Hearing Yang Hao's words, Lu Yang said "Oh" meaningfully. His junior brother is good in every way except for some minor flaws that all men have. However, these are not big deals. Lu Yang can understand this and he likes such investors with simple motives very much. In Yang Hao, he seemed to see the shadow of the coal boss from more than ten years ago. Both Yang Hao and the coal boss invest in movies purely for the sake of art. Such people are worthy of admiration. (End of this chapter)
