Chapter 210 Contract Couple
"Fei Fei, are you saying that Yang Hao is going to introduce a movie resource to you?" Liu Xiaoli was a little suspicious whether she had heard it wrong.

Yang Hao's film resources are now in high demand in the entertainment industry, but Yang Hao's films rarely have public auditions, otherwise they would definitely be snatched up by various big stars.

Her daughter had just talked with Yang Hao for ten minutes, and she got the resources for a movie? This surprised Liu Xiaoli. Could it be that Yang Hao was interested in her own Feifei? Apart from this reason, Liu's mother could not think of any other explanation.

"Tell mom quickly what this movie is about." Yang Hao's record is so brilliant that Liu Xiaoli really wants to know what story this movie is about.

"The name of the movie is "Go Away, Tumor Man". It is adapted from a comic book. The male lead is played by Yang Hao..." Liu Yifei roughly told Liu Xiaoli the plot.

"A romance film?" Not long ago, I planned to let Liu Yifei take over "The Third Way of Love", which is a romance film. I didn't expect that the movie resource introduced by Yang Hao was also a romance film. This is really a coincidence.

"It's a pity that it's not a comedy." Yang Hao is best known for comedies, which made Liu Xiaoli a little disappointed.

"Mom, romance movies are also good. I like this movie "The Third Way of Love" very much. Can you please recommend it for me?" Liu Yifei said coquettishly, holding Liu Xiaoli's arm.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you push it," Liu Xiaoli touched Liu Yifei's head and said lovingly.

Although "Go Away Tumor" is a romance film, it was produced by Yang Hao after all, and it is much more reliable than the Korean film "The Third Way of Love". Liu Xiaoli is certainly not stupid and knows how to make choices.

After the celebration banquet, Ci Peikang, Yang Hao, and Mr. Jiang went to the teahouse outside the West Third Ring Road, just like last time.

In this quaint, quiet and elegant environment, it is extremely pleasant to listen to the sound of string instruments played by cheongsam girls, sip tea and talk about business.

"Mr. Ci, Mr. Jiang, you should have read the script of 'Dying to Survive'," everyone tasted the fragrant tea, sobered up a little, and then got down to business for today.

"Already seen it."

President Jiang and Ci Peikang both nodded, then looked at Yang Hao, waiting for Yang Hao's next words.

The script of the movie "Dying to Survive" is indeed well-written, the story is touching, and it has strong practical significance. Overall, it is more literary, but it is this literary style that makes Ci Peikang and Mr. Jiang a little unsure.

Both of them have been working in the film industry for decades, and they both know one thing: a good script does not equal a box office hit.

Every year there are countless movies that are critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.

The most important thing is that the investment budget for the movie "Dying to Survive" is as high as 1.5 million yuan. When seeing this investment budget, Ci Peikang and Mr. Jiang were stunned.

Since when did art films require such a huge investment?

1.5 million?
The scale of this investment is almost catching up with special effects blockbusters. Only this movie was put together by Yang Hao. If it were someone else, Ci Peikang and President Jiang would both want to slap him in the face.

"China Film Group and Wanda each have a 20% investment share. What do you think?" This time, Yang Hao took the initiative to give up a larger share to thank China Film Group and Wanda for their help last time. Of course, the deeper reason was that the drama "Dying to Survive" needed the help of China Film Group to pass the review.

"Okay, let's follow this ratio." Ci Peikang and Mr. Jiang were both very satisfied with the 20% investment share.

With a 20 percent investment share, plus the revenue from cinemas, if the movie becomes a big hit, the money they make won't be much less than Yang Hao's.

"We still need a lot of help from Mr. Ci to get this movie approved," the investment shares have been roughly agreed upon, and the only thing left is the issue of getting the movie approved.

"No problem, I'll take care of the approval of this movie," Ci Peikang said proudly, waving his hand.

In fact, before coming, Ci Peikang had already used his connections to inquire and knew that there would be no problem with the film passing the censorship, otherwise Ci Peikang would not have dared to make such a big promise.

After leaving the teahouse, Yang Hao went straight to the airport. Liu Shishi was already waiting for him in the VIP waiting room. Yang Hao and Liu Shishi planned to fly back to the crew overnight.
-
The next day, Yang Hao came to the crew early and checked the film shot by Li Guoan yesterday. After confirming that everything was fine, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the crew's break, Yang Hao walked over to Han Yan.

"Han Yan, who are you going to ask to play the male and female lead in the movie Go Away Tumor?" Because it was just a short break after the crew finished a scene and time was tight, Yang Hao didn't waste any words, just greeted him and got straight to business.

Han Yan was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Hao asking about the male and female protagonists of the movie "Go Away, Tumor King".

But then he realized that Yang Hao attended the celebration banquet of "Assassin's Blade 2" yesterday, and came to him early this morning to discuss the male and female protagonists of the movie. He must have reached some agreement with others at the celebration banquet yesterday.

Han Yan is not a newcomer in the entertainment industry and knows the rules. Although he is the director of the movie "Go Away Tumor King", he only has the right to make suggestions on the male and female protagonists. The real decision is made by the investor Yang Hao.

After all, the investment talent in the entertainment industry is the daddy.

"Director Yang, we haven't decided on the male and female lead roles for the movie Go Away Tumor. Would you like you to make a decision?" Han Yan said tactfully.

Hearing Han Yan say this, Yang Hao nodded with a smile on his face.

"What do you think about letting Liu Yifei play the female lead?"

"Liu Yifei?" Han Yan was stunned when he heard Liu Yifei's name. To be honest, he really didn't expect that Yang Hao would propose that Liu Yifei play the heroine of the movie.

The heroine of the movie "Go Away, Tumor King" is suffering from a tumor, and she has to appear bald on the big screen. Liu Yifei's screen image is really totally incompatible with this.

The actress he preferred was Bai Baihe, but since Yang Hao had said so, Han Yan couldn't object.

"Liu Yifei is good, her acting is very smart and fits the temperament of the heroine very well." Every good director is a good actor. Han Yan said these words against his will without blushing or beating his heart.

Although he knew that Han Yan was speaking against his will, Yang Hao had to give him a thumbs up.

Yang Hao likes this kind of director.

"Then Director Yang, do you have any opinions about the male lead?" Han Yan continued to ask.

"Do you think I'm suitable for the male lead?" Yang Hao said this lightly.

"Director Yang, you?" He was already surprised that Liu Yifei would play the female lead, and he was even more surprised that Yang Hao would play the male lead.

But after a turn of his eyes, Han Yan felt that this was really suitable.

Not to mention Liu Yifei, the Fairy Sister, no star can surpass her in terms of national popularity. Yang Hao is the most famous actor, director, and investor in the entertainment industry in recent years.

The combination of Liu Yifei and Yang Hao as the male and female protagonists, with this lineup, which director would not be moved?
This is Liu Yifei + Yang Hao!
And it's also a romance film.

Just release the news that Liu Yifei and Yang Hao are starring in a romance film. Without any promotion, the film will surely become extremely popular. It is foreseeable that the box office will not be too bad.

"Director Yang, you are really suitable to play the male lead. You and Liu Yifei are definitely a match made in heaven. Your CP feeling is off the charts," Han Yan kept praising him.

He had been thinking of Bai Baihe + Wu Yanzu before, but now this pair has been thrown into the trash by Han Yan. Han Yan now thinks Liu Yifei + Yang Hao are the best choice.

"Director Han, for the success of the movie 'Go Away Tumor', I feel I need to make some sacrifices," Yang Hao said righteously.

"Sacrifice?" Yang Hao's words confused Han Yan. What sacrifices are needed to make a serious movie? This is not "Lust, Caution", "Apple", or "Brokeback Mountain".

"Director Han, what do you think about Liu Yifei and I hyping up our relationship?" Yang Hao felt it was necessary to hype up the relationship in a romance film.

The more Han Yan listened, the weirder his expression became. Did you sacrifice a lot to hype up your relationship with Liu Yifei? No matter how I look at it, I feel like you're taking advantage of me.

At this time, Han Yan also figured out something. Yang Hao's decision to cast Liu Yifei as the heroine of the movie this time did not seem to be a simple one.

Having been in the crew of "Detective Chinatown 3" for such a long time, Han Yan has long known that the relationship between Yang Hao and Liu Shishi is not normal, and that Yang Hao is not a pushover. Could it be that Yang Hao is planning to use the movie "Go Away, Tumor King" to create something between him and Liu Yifei?
"Will Liu Yifei's mother agree?" Han Yan has also been in this circle for a long time and has heard some rumors about Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli. He knows that Liu Xiaoli keeps a close eye on Liu Yifei. When Liu Yifei is acting, she has to use a body double for kissing scenes, and hyping up a relationship is not allowed.

"This?" Han Yan's question really stumped Yang Hao.

Yang Hao didn't know that Liu Xiaoli was actually very satisfied with Yang Hao and was hoping that he and Liu Yifei could get married.

Yang Hao suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Liu Yifei in "The Third Way of Love" was rumored to be in a relationship with a Korean. It didn't make sense that he couldn't hype up his relationship.

"When the time comes, talk to her mother and sign a love contract directly," Yang Hao said after thinking for a while.

"Love contract? Contract lover?" Han Yan's eyes lit up when he heard Yang Hao say this. This was a good idea.

Many movies or TV shows in the entertainment industry will hype up romances. In order to avoid trouble, it is better to sign a contract directly and clearly list the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.

It was stipulated in the contract that they would meet a few times each month, express their love on Weibo a few times, let paparazzi take pictures of intimate actions a few times, etc., and break up immediately when the contract expired.

Although the idea was a good one, Han Yan always felt that Yang Hao seemed to have ulterior motives.

"Director Yang, you're not planning to turn your fake play into real one, are you?" Han Yan teased with a smile.

"How is that possible? I am very loyal in my relationships." Yang Hao would definitely not admit to such a thing that defamed his reputation.

Of course, Yang Hao didn’t think he was lying. He was indeed very loyal in his relationships, and he was loyal to beautiful female stars.

Although the lineup of Liu Yifei + Yang Hao is very attractive, it has a fatal problem for a new director like Han Yan.

The actors are too big to be easily directed by a new director. Liu Yifei is still okay, but the most critical person is Yang Hao.

He is not only a first-line actor, but also a director and an investor. With these three identities combined, even if it is Master Zhang's crew, if Yang Hao does not give him face, the other party still can't do anything to him.

"Well..., well..., Director Yang, if you play the male lead, then whose decision will this movie make?" Han Yan hesitated for a long time. Finally, Yang Hao realized that Han Yan was afraid that he would sideline him in the crew.

The feud between Lu Tailang and Jiang Wen is still circulating in the entertainment circle and is talked about by many people. Han Yan should not be afraid.

"Don't worry about this. I've only acted in one or two movies. Has anyone spread the rumor that I was giving orders blindly on the crew? If you don't believe it, you can ask Yan Fei and Peng Damu."

Yang Hao's words dispelled Han Yan's doubts. Indeed, Yang Hao had acted in many movies, and there was no news that he used his status as an investor to pressure the director.

"Director Yang, that's great. When the filming starts, I will add a few more kissing scenes and boat scenes for you and Liu Yifei."

Yang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard Han Yan's words, and he said in his heart, "This kid is really smart and has a future."
-
After reaching an agreement with Han Yan, Yang Hao sent the script of "Go Away Tumor" directly to Liu Yifei via WeChat.

When she is not working, Liu Yifei is very idle. At this time, she lies on the bed with her white and tender feet bare, flipping through the comic book "Go Away, Tumor".

"Too touching!" Halfway through reading the comic, Liu Yifei's eyes turned red and she stopped flipping through the pages. She was very afraid to see the heroine's death in the end.

Just when Liu Yifei was deeply moved, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Yang Hao on her mobile phone, and Liu Yifei quickly clicked on it.

What caught my eye was the file sent by the other party. After opening it, it turned out to be the script of "Go Away Tumor".

Liu Yifei could choose not to read the ending of the comic, but she couldn't do that for the script. Liu Yifei finally burst into tears, buried her head in the pillow, and cried loudly.

"Bad guy, why do you have to have such a tragic ending? Can't the heroine defeat the disease and have a happy reunion with the hero?" Liu Yifei muttered to herself, very unhappy with the ending of the script.

On the other side, Han Yan called Liu Xiaoli.

"Hype about a relationship? Contract couple?" After hearing what Han Yan said, Liu Xiaoli fell silent.

In the past, she did not allow her daughter to hype up scandals, but today is different from the past. In recent years, Liu Xiaoli can clearly feel that the film and television resources for her daughter are getting worse and worse.

"Go Away, Tumor Man" is a movie produced by Yang Hao. Based on his past performance, this movie has a high probability of becoming a hit, which is definitely an opportunity for his daughter to turn things around.

The most important thing is that Liu Xiaoli has a great affection for Yang Hao, and she really hopes that Yang Hao and Liu Yifei can get married.

In the end, Liu Xiaoli agreed to Han Yan's request.
