Chapter 191: Too many characters and a meeting
Yang Hao has not forgotten to hype up his "lucky wife persona". It's just that some time ago, first there was the list of nominees for the Hundred Flowers Awards, and then Da Mimi was criticized. Yang Hao strongly supported it, and celebrities stood on his side, dominating the hot searches one after another.
If the hype about the "lucky wife character" was carried out during that period, the popularity would definitely be suppressed and would not create any waves.
The entertainment industry is calm now, which is the best time to hype up the "lucky wife persona".
"Okay, got it, boss. I'll arrange it," Yu Li nodded to show that she understood.
In the past, Yu Li was against Yang Hao’s efforts to establish a “lucky wife persona”, fearing that it would explode at any time, but now Yu Li has become somewhat numb.
After "Knife Assassins 2" became a hit, Yang Hao did not mention the hype of "lucky wife character" in the past half month. She was still not used to it, and always felt that something seemed to be left unfinished. Now that Yang Hao brought up the idea of hyping "lucky wife character", Yu Li's empty heart finally settled down.
Seeing that Yang Hao had no other instructions, Yu Li walked out of the office.
-
"Boss, why are you hyping up the image of a man who brings good fortune to his wife?" As soon as Yu Li walked out of the office, Yang Chaoyue jumped from the sofa not far away to Yang Hao's side, blinking her big eyes, staring at Yang Hao curiously, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Yang Chaoyue was sitting on the sofa in the office just now, and she heard everything about the conversation between Yang Hao and Yu Li.
From their conversation, Yang Chaoyue grasped the core word "lucky wife personality".
When Yang Chaoyue was surfing the Internet before, she saw that some netizens said that their boss had the "physique of a wife who is lucky in luck".
Now, after hearing the conversation between Yang Hao and Yu Li, I realized that the "lucky wife persona" was actually hyped up by her own boss.
"Why are you, little kid, asking about adults' matters? Just go and play."
Those who understand the concept of "lucky wife character" know it, but it's hard to explain to others. Seeing Yang Chaoyue's gossipy look, Yang Hao waved his hand and asked her to go away.
"Oh! Boss, just tell me, just tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."
The more Yang Hao refused to explain, the more Yang Chaoyue felt itchy and the more she wanted to know, so she held Yang Hao's arm and prevented him from getting up from his seat.
It seems to be saying, if you don't explain it clearly, don't get up from your seat today.
"Although you are young, how come you have learned so much gossip?" Yang Hao felt helpless seeing Yang Chaoyue's look.
"Hmph! I'm not young at all. In a few months, after the Chinese New Year, I'll be 17 years old."
When Yang Chaoyue heard Yang Hao say that she was young, she was very unhappy and her lips were pouted.
"17 years old!" Yang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard Yang Chaoyue say that she would be 17 after the Chinese New Year.
"But he is still too young and needs to be raised for another two years." Thinking of this, Yang Hao secretly felt it was a pity.
Maybe it’s because she joined the company and the food and clothing are many levels higher than before. The little girl’s nutrition has been supplemented and she seems to have grown up again.
Yang Hao could feel the arc coming from his arm, which was larger than the previous one.
Although her scale is not as large as Da Mimi, compared with the young stars in the entertainment industry, Yang Chaoyue is indeed quite talented.
"Chaoyue, when you make your debut in the future, your boss will also create a personal character for you. What do you think?" It was difficult to explain the lucky wife character to Yang Chaoyue, so Yang Hao simply changed the subject.
When Yang Chaoyue heard that she would also have to establish her own persona after her debut, her eyes lit up.
"Boss, if I create a personal image, I can attract a lot of fans and make a lot of money, right?" Yang Chaoyue's eyes revealed excitement when he thought about attracting countless fans and making a lot of money by creating a personal image.
"You little money-grubber!" Yang Hao felt angry when he saw Yang Chaoyue's money-grubber look and the light in her eyes.
"Hehe! Boss, I'm doing this just to make more money for you," Yang Chaoyue said this with a smile while hugging Yang Hao's arm. After a pause, she continued, "Boss, when I debut, you have to establish a better personality for me!"
"How about I create a lucky lady character for you in the future?" Yang Hao couldn't help but want to tease the cute 16-year-old girl in front of him.
"Ah! Mrs. Wang's character," Yang Chaoyue exclaimed when she heard this character.
The first thing she thought of was her boss’ lucky wife character.
The character of a prosperous wife and the character of a prosperous wife, the more Yang Chaoyue thought about it, the more she felt that these two characters were like a pair.
Yang Chaoyue looked up at her boss and saw Yang Hao looking at her with a smile.
Yang Chaoyue was too thin-skinned. She only looked at him for half a second before she blushed and lowered her head.
Although she is only 16 years old, Yang Chaoyue actually knows everything. She usually just pretends to be ignorant and uses this method to please herself.
"Boss, you are so bad!" After saying this, Yang Chaoyue shyly left Yang Hao and ran to the sofa a few meters away.
"Haha", Yang Hao laughed happily when he saw the big loli Yang Chaoyue blushing because of his teasing.

In the following days, Yang Hao had no specific work, so he stayed at home, playing games and checking Weibo.
One day, Yang Hao was lying on the bed and browsing Weibo when he suddenly saw several trending searches about himself.
"Liu Shishi, who was not known for movies, was made famous by Yang Hao"
"A list of female celebrities who became famous by working with Yang Hao"
"The careers of the female stars who have worked with Yang Hao are now developing better and better than the others"
……
After seeing several hot searches on Weibo about his "lucky wife persona", Yang Hao knew that this was probably hype by Yu Li.
As Yang Hao's movies become popular one after another, Yang Hao's "lucky wife persona" seems to be gradually accepted by the public, as can be seen from the comments under these trending searches.
In the past, Yang Hao had few popular movies, and at that time his "lucky wife character" was hyped up, which attracted many questioning voices under the comments.
But now, there are very few questioning or opposing voices in the comment section.
"Brother Hao is mighty"
"Brother Hao, please take my Jingjing with you."
"Brother Hao, Qinbao needs your help."
"Brother Hao, please take my Xiaoju with you, please."
"Brother Hao, come and look at the brand of my little ears."
……
Yang Hao looked through the comment section, which was filled with messages from fans, all of whom wanted Yang Hao to collaborate with their favorite female star and make her famous.
Most netizens have normal aesthetic tastes, and the recommended female celebrities are all of acceptable appearance.
But some netizens actually recommended Jia Ling, which made Yang Hao really uncomfortable.
"Please, Brother Hao, please collaborate with Jia Ling on a movie and make him famous."
I don’t know if it was a prank by netizens, but the number of likes for this comment is surprisingly high.
Some people even commented on this comment.
"If we can make Jia Ling famous, we will believe that Brother Hao is really awesome"
"As long as Brother Hao and Sister Jia Ling make a movie, I will definitely support them with a movie ticket"...
Seeing these silly comments from silly netizens, Yang Hao is really speechless.
When seeing these netizens mention Jia Ling, Yang Hao immediately thought of "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot Spicy Hot Pot".
Putting aside prejudice and looking only at the commercial value, "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot Spicy Hot Pot" are actually very good. These two films have firmly grasped the female market.
You have to know that the mainstream audience for movies is women, and as long as the female psychology is captured, the movie is basically halfway to success.
But from a male perspective, the two movies "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot Spicy Hot Pot" seem very bad.
Especially the scene in "Hot Spicy Hot Pot" where Lei Jiayin lay on Jia Ling made Yang Hao vomit his overnight meal and felt extremely uncomfortable.
It’s really eye-catching!
Yang Hao shook his head vigorously to expel the scene from his mind, and then he felt better.
The thought of myself and Jia Ling collaborating on a movie like this, and having a sex scene with Jia Ling, it feels like a horror movie.
Yang Hao does not have the fearless spirit of Lei Jiayin who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of art.

Continuing to browse the hot searches on Weibo, Yang Hao later found another hot search related to Zhao Liying.
"Zhao Liying's Foodie Collection"
"Zhao Liying is so cute as to be a foodie in "Shan Shan Comes to Eat""
……
Seeing these trending searches on Weibo, Yang Hao remembered that "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" had been bought by Mango TV and would be broadcast soon.
The current hot searches should be warming up for the drama "My Sweetheart, My Sweetheart".
But from these hot searches on Weibo, Yang Hao saw a tendency that Yu Li seemed to be creating a foodie persona for Zhao Liying.
Yang Hao once mentioned Zhao Liying’s future development plan to Yu Li. At that time, he mentioned the foodie personality. Unexpectedly, Yu Li remembered it so clearly.
"Legend of Lu Zhen" only made Zhao Liying emerge in the entertainment industry. After the broadcast of "Shan Shan Come to Eat", her image as a foodie really made Zhao Liying gain a lot of fans.
Thinking of Zhao Liying's foodie personality, Yang Hao could only sigh,
"Absolutely".
Although my company is small, it has many people.
His own “lucky wife persona”.
Zhao Liying’s “foodie personality”.
Later on, Yang Zi’s “Mrs. Wang character”.
Yang Chaoyue’s “koi character”.
There are four types of characters in total, so much so that the dragon and the phoenix can form two pairs.

A week later, in the meeting room of Haori Film and Television Culture Media Company in Sohu Building.
Yang Hao, Zhang Ying, Li Guoan, Han Yan, Han Jianu and Yu Li, six people held a meeting.
The film project "Detective Chinatown" has been in preparation for nearly two months. Almost all the preparations have been completed, and it is time to hold a meeting to summarize them.
"Senior Sister Han, have the actors already agreed on their schedules?" Han Jianu was the producer and was in charge of negotiating the actors' schedules, so Yang Hao asked her directly.
"Director Yang, the schedules of the main actors have been negotiated." Now it was a formal occasion, Yang Hao could politely call her senior sister, but she couldn't really be polite and call her junior brother.
"You, President Yang, personally negotiated with Baoqiang and Liu Shishi. As for Chen He, Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Yang, Zhang Zifeng, Liu Haoran and others, as soon as they heard that you wanted them to act in the movie, they all agreed without saying a word. The schedules have all been agreed upon," continued Han Jianu.
Upon hearing that the schedules of several main actors had been negotiated, Yang Hao smiled and nodded, showing great satisfaction.
This was actually all expected. With Yang Hao's undefeated record in the film industry in the past two years, no one would refuse to be invited to act in a movie unless they were fools.
Even if it is only second or third place, it is definitely something I would love to have.
Anyone who is a little smart will understand that the movie "Detective Chinatown" was filmed at this time because it was definitely aimed at the Spring Festival.
Moreover, this is Yang Hao's best comedy, and everyone knows that this movie is definitely the strongest contender for the Spring Festival box office championship.
If Yang Hao's movie wins the championship again this year, it will be a triple crown.
This is the Triple Crown!
This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Chinese cinema.
If "Detective Chinatown 3" really wins the Triple Crown, the names of these actors will be remembered in the history of Chinese film along with this movie.
If they miss this opportunity, they probably won't have such an opportunity again in their life.
After Han Jianu finished speaking, Han Yan continued, "Mr. Yang, the casting for Detective Chinatown is definitely the easiest in recent years. As soon as your name was mentioned, the actors all agreed immediately without saying a word, for fear that if they delayed for even a second, they would lose the role."
"But Mr. Yang, I want to ask, is the casting too hasty this time?" Han Yan asked with a frown.
Yang Hao understood what Han Yan meant. For the casting of "Detective Chinatown 3", the main actors were all directly decided by Yang Hao. In other words, Chen He, Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Yang, Zhang Zifeng, Liu Haoran and others did not audition at all.
These assistant directors only need to select supporting roles, group actors and special actors.
This type of casting made the workload light, but it made Han Yan feel uneasy. He had been an assistant director in other crews and participated in casting. Other crews were not extremely cautious in selecting actors.
Actors not only take part in the preliminary audition, but also have a second audition and an audition with makeup. For stricter crews, it is not uncommon to audition four or five times.
However, none of the leading actors in "Detective Chinatown" had any auditions and were directly invited to perform. Can this method of selecting actors lead to a good movie?
At this moment, Han Yan had great doubts in his heart.
Yang Hao really had a hard time explaining Han Yan's doubts.
These actors have all been tested in the previous market, and their image, temperament, and acting skills are definitely in line with the requirements of the movie.
There is another reason, that is, Yang Hao felt that the last audition for "The Richest Tomato" was a pure waste of time. After auditioning many times, he finally found that the original cast was the most suitable.
Therefore, Yang Hao didn’t even bother to audition for “Detective Chinatown” and just let the original actor do the role without wasting time.
Of course, the most important thing is this movie. He plans to use the system to get cash back, so success is inevitable.
Yang Hao couldn't explain these reasons to Han Yan.
“Believe me, the biggest reason why my investment in movies is successful is that the casting is very accurate,” Yang Hao began to fool Han Yan with his past record.
If a person is successful, then others will think that whatever he does is right.
This is the case now. Han Yan really believed Yang Hao's explanation and nodded in agreement.
After chatting with Zhang Ying, Li Guoan, Han Yan, Han Jianu and Yu Li about movie-related matters for a while, the meeting ended.
One of Yang Chaoyue’s pictures has been rejected for a long time. I don’t know why. Is it because it’s too white or too big?
