Chapter 186 Billions of Dollars
When it became clear that it was "Knife Assassin 1" that was nominated for the award, rather than "Knife Assassin 2", one could clearly feel a flash of disappointment on the faces of Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi.

Several people were indeed a little disappointed, but on second thought, the award of "The Sword Identity 1" would also be good for "The Sword Identity 2". After all, it was the prequel and could also be considered a topic that could be used to stir up popularity and greatly stimulate the box office of "The Sword Identity 2".

The huge box office success of "Knife of the Assassin 2" is still a win-win for them, with both fame and fortune.

"Congratulations! Yang Hao, Director Lu," Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Zhang Yi and others all spoke up to congratulate them.

Yang Hao was nominated for Best Actor and Lu Yang was nominated for Best Director, which is indeed worthy of congratulations.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Yang Hao and Lu Yang smiled and bowed in return.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Yang Hao's cell phone rang.

I took out my cell phone and saw that the caller ID was from Teacher Xue Xiaolu.

Yang Hao pointed at his cell phone and signaled to Lu Yang, Liu Shishi and others that he was going to answer a call. He then walked away a little before answering the call.

"Yang Hao, I have good news for you!" As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Xue Xiaolu's excited voice came from the phone.

Why do these words sound so familiar?

There is a strong sense of déjà vu.

A light bulb went off in Yang Hao's head, and he suddenly remembered, wasn't Senior Brother Lu Yang doing the same thing just now?
"Could it be that "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" also won an award?" Yang Hao thought of a possibility.

The timing was such a coincidence, almost the same time as Senior Brother Lu Yang.

"Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" has been shortlisted for the 32nd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards," Teacher Xue Xiaolu did not keep the secret like Senior Brother Lu Yang, but spoke directly.

Sure enough, Teacher Xue Xiaolu’s words confirmed Yang Hao’s guess.

Before Yang Hao had a chance to speak, Teacher Xue Xiaolu continued: "'Bridget Jones Meets Seattle' was nominated for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress."

Teacher Xue Xiaolu spoke without pause and listed all the shortlisted awards in one breath.

Wow, five awards, two more than the awards nominated for "Asian Blade 1".

After listening to what Teacher Xue Xiaolu said, Yang Hao just wanted to give Xue Xiaolu a thumbs up and say “awesome”.

But after thinking about it, Yang Hao felt that something was not right. It seemed as if this award was missing something.

Yang Hao frowned and thought, and suddenly he remembered.

In her previous life, she was nominated for Best Actress for "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle", but now she is not?
Da Mimi was not like Tang Wei in her previous life, who was nominated for the Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards for her role in "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle".

How embarrassing for Da Mimi!
The director of "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" was nominated, the actor was nominated, and even the supporting actress was nominated, but she, the leading actress, was not nominated for any award.

The competition among the 85 flowers is already fierce, the 90 flowers are on the rise, and the 95 flowers are ready to go.

The existence of Da Mimi has already blocked the way of many people. Yang Hao can foresee what will happen to Da Mimi once the Hundred Flowers Awards shortlist is fully announced.

Da Mimi is already well-known in the circle for her black and white reputation, and now, her competitors will definitely make trouble for her.

I'm going to be ridiculed by the whole network again.

"Congratulations, teacher. I wish you win the Best Director Award," Yang Hao congratulated with a smile.

"Haha, there are still several months before the Hundred Flowers Awards are announced. It's not too late to congratulate you once you really win the award." From the phone call, it can be heard that Teacher Xue Xiaolu is really excited and happy at this moment.

"By the way, teacher, why don't we take advantage of the popularity of "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" being shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Awards to start filming "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter"? If we shoot fast, maybe we can finish it before the Hundred Flowers Awards are announced."

The project of "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" has been decided a long time ago, but the start time has not been determined. Now, taking this opportunity, Yang Hao mentioned it casually.

"Now the schedules of the main actors have been negotiated, and we will probably start filming next month." Xue Xiaolu was also tempted by Yang Hao's suggestion. If he starts filming while the popularity is high, he can indeed save a lot of publicity expenses when the film is released.

"Okay, teacher, then I wish "Bridget Jones and the Lost Affair" a great success in both box office and reputation."

Yang Hao and Teacher Xue Xiaolu continued to chat for a few more sentences before they hung up the phone.

The Hundred Flowers Awards are held every two years. Logically, the films I invested in these two years, "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Tomato", are also eligible for nominations. But unfortunately, the comedies have no substance and are simply meant to make the audience laugh. Even if they are box office champions, it is almost impossible for them to win awards.

Fortunately, Yang Hao doesn’t care too much about winning awards, and box office performance is always the most important factor when investing in movies.

Now that "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" and "Knife of the Assassin 1" have both been nominated for many awards at the Hundred Flowers Awards, it is already a pleasant surprise, so Yang Hao is in a really good mood.

Yang Hao walked back to Lu Yang, Liu Shishi and the other group with a smile on his face.

"Junior brother, who called? You looked so happy," Lu Yang asked doubtfully.

Just now, Yang Hao was on the phone about ten meters away. The distance was a bit far, so he couldn't hear clearly. He just vaguely heard something about awards and movies.

Thinking of my junior brother, he has invested in many movies in the past two years, and the box office of these movies are pretty good. Could it be that this junior brother has other movies nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards?
"The movie "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" which we invested in Mr. Xue Xiaolu was shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Awards."

There is nothing to hide. Even if he doesn't say it, the Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee will announce the nomination list in a few days. Now that Senior Brother Lu Yang asked, Yang Hao simply told him everything.

"Awesome." Hearing that it was exactly the same as what he had guessed, Lu Yang could only give a thumbs up and say "awesome."

Comparing yourself to others will make you feel depressed. This junior of mine just graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. He is only 22 years old. When I was his age, I was still a junior in college and knew nothing. However, this junior of mine has already made a big name for himself in the entertainment industry.

"congratulations!"

"Awesome! Awesome!" When Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi heard Yang Hao's words, they hurried forward to congratulate him, and their attitude towards Yang Hao became more enthusiastic.

Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Zhang Yi and others all wanted to have a good relationship with Yang Hao and establish a good relationship with him, hoping that there would be roles suitable for them in the future.

In the past, Yang Hao was famous in the circle for his movie box office, and film awards were his weakness. Now it seems that this shortcoming is going to be made up, which is really awesome.

Liu Shishi had the closest relationship with Yang Hao, and her way of congratulating him was even more direct. She walked over and hugged Yang Hao, which surprised Yang Hao.

Fortunately, Liu Shishi knew the situation and just gave a gentle hug and then separated immediately. This level of hugging is very common in the entertainment industry and did not attract much attention.

"Yang Hao, when do you think I can be nominated for a film award?" Liu Shishi was standing next to Yang Hao at this time, looking at him enviously and said.

Liu Shishi also has a pursuit of art. When she saw that the movies invested by Yang Hao were both shortlisted, she was really envious and jealous.

"You?" Yang Hao was speechless when he heard Liu Shishi say that. Blind sister, you have no clear understanding of yourself at all.

If you are invited to act in Da Mimi's movie "I Am a Witness", you might win an award.

"Shishi, you will definitely continue to be popular in the future," Yang Haoyan said, avoiding the question.

In her previous life, Tang Wei was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for her role in "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle", but now it's Da Mimi who's playing the role and she didn't even get nominated. Yang Hao also realized from this incident that these 85 flowers are probably not really suitable for acting in movies. Even if he has abundant resources, he doesn't have much confidence in promoting them.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Yang Hao spoke vaguely, Liu Shishi also understood what he meant. She snorted angrily and turned her head away.

The Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee soon announced the shortlist for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

The Hundred Flowers Awards is one of the three major film awards and one of the most influential film awards in the industry.

Not only people in the circle pay attention to this award, but many people outside the circle also pay attention to it.

The announcement of the shortlist for an award of this level is definitely a feast of traffic for the media.

When the media reporters checked the list of nominees for the Hundred Flowers Awards, their attention quickly focused on "Knife of the Assassin 1" and "Bridget Jones in Seattle".

It’s not just because these two movies have high box office, the most important thing is that these two movies have one common feature, that is, they have a common investor, Yang Hao.

These two movies are already very popular, and the investor is Yang Hao, a big star in the circle, so you can imagine how much they will be talked about.

All media reporters knew that this was definitely breaking news.

Although the Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee announced the awards at around 6pm, which was already after get off work, who could miss this kind of traffic feast? Who dares to miss it?

They all returned to the company to work overtime, and before long, articles appeared on major portals like mushrooms after rain.

"Movies invested by Yang Hao, including "Knife of the Assassin 1" and "Bridget Jones in Seattle", have been nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards."

"The movies invested by Yang Hao not only have high box office, but also win awards"

"Yang Hao is only 22 years old and already has a net worth of nearly billion"

"Yang Hao was nominated for Best Actor at the age of 22, becoming the youngest nominee in the history of the Hundred Flowers Awards."

With the announcement of the Hundred Flowers Awards shortlist, Yang Hao seems to have become the biggest winner in this feast of traffic, and all media news seem to be reporting around him.

Film and television investor, big star, worth tens of billions, 22 years old, movie emperor, when these features are combined in one person, he will definitely become the focus of the entire society.

Yang Hao felt that he seemed to be established as an outstanding representative of the post-90s generation.

With this wave of traffic exposure, all the movies and TV series that he had previously invested in were turned out by the media one by one.

When the media listed a series of film and television projects such as "It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties", "Yu Zui", "The Legend of Lu Zhen", "Charlotte's Troubles", "The Richest Tomato", etc., and then carefully counted them, they were shocked to find that Yang Hao, who had only been in the industry for more than two years, had invested in film and television projects, and the preliminary estimated net profit had exceeded 15 billion.

You should know that Huayi’s net profit in 2012 was only 2.44 million.

In 2013, the net profit was only 5.9 million.

The total net profit for two years was just over 8 million, almost half of Yang Hao's company.

You have to know that Huayi is a listed company with a market value of more than 20 billion yuan, while Yang Hao’s company has just been established.

Previous media reports said that Yang Hao was worth tens of billions, but some people did not quite believe it. Now, through data comparison, all netizens shut up. The profitability of Yang Hao's company is too terrifying. As long as it goes public, it can be predicted that the company's market value will definitely not be less than tens of billions.

In fact, Yang Hao has not appeared in many movies and TV series in the entertainment industry. If you only look at his popularity, it is actually quite average.

The reason why Yang Hao is considered a top star in the circle is mainly due to his identity as a film and television investor, producer, gold medal screenwriter, and director.

But this wave of traffic reports really made Yang Hao famous and his national popularity skyrocketed.

The most direct manifestation is the number of Weibo fans, which was only over 20 million before. With the addition of this wave of traffic, the number of Yang Hao's Weibo fans has increased by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands every time you refresh the background.

After just one day, Yang Hao's Weibo followers reached more than 30 million, and the number of followers is still increasing.

After a day of roadshow, Yang Hao returned to the hotel where the crew was staying.

He took out his cell phone and opened WeChat, and found a series of message notifications. The bright red number notifications made Yang Hao's obsessive-compulsive disorder come on.

Yang Hao could only click on the information one by one by hand and make all the bright red numbers disappear. Only then did he feel better.

Yang Hao felt a headache when he saw these unread messages.

Nazha, Zhao Liying, Reba, Da Mimi, Da Tiantian, several women who are very close to him, all sent messages to him, asking him if he was really worth 10 billion as said on the Internet.

Yang Hao did not choose to hide anything from them and answered "yes" to all of them.

Yang Hao did not hide it on purpose because he wanted to show his strength in front of them. As long as he was strong enough, they would most likely not betray him.

Didn’t the scumbag say that money is not for women to spend, but for women to look at.

Yang Hao has always done this. With so many women with whom he has deep relationships, Yang Hao really didn’t spend much money on them. He just frequently showed his strength in front of them.

Not only do you not need to spend money on these women, many of them are actually making money for themselves.

Based on Yang Hao’s current practical experience, it seems to be right to only give money to women to see but not to spend it.

Yang Hao’s net worth of 10 billion is a bit exaggerated.

Just talking about working capital, the company currently has only 400 to 500 million yuan in its account.

But if we have to use the market value calculation method, he can barely be said to be worth tens of billions.

"Rich man, please support me." Da Mimi replied so quickly that Yang Hao was stunned. Could it be that this girl has been waiting for his reply?
"Haven't I been supporting you all along?" Yang Hao thought about it and replied directly with voice.

"Hmph! I haven't seen you give me any money for maintenance yet? First V me for 500 million to see how capable you are," Da Mimi said in voice chat, not wanting to be outdone.
