After hanging up the phone with Yang Chaoyue, Yang Hao started his day's filming.

After a few weeks of running-in, Meng Ziyi, Li Xian, Chen Xiao and others have mastered the fighting style of "The Witch", and the filming has gradually entered the fast lane.

Time passed quickly and it was afternoon in a short while.

"Director Yang, Director Wu Jing is here to visit the set." The filming of a scene had just finished when the crew member standing nearby hurriedly walked up to Yang Hao and whispered.

"Wu Jing?" Hearing Wu Jing coming to visit the set, Yang Hao thought for a moment and understood. Wu Jing was most likely here to invest in Wolf Warrior 2.

"Brother Jing!" At the door of the crew, Yang Hao saw Wu Jing wearing a gray shirt, and Sister Nan was accompanying Wu Jing.

"Good boy, you become handsome again," Wu Jing came up to Yang Hao and punched him in the chest with a smile.

"Brother Jing, my weak arms and legs can't withstand a punch from a Wolf Warrior like you." After being punched by Wu Jing, Yang Hao pretended to be weak and joked while covering his chest.

"Yang Hao, don't act like that here. Don't I know your physical fitness? Remember the last time we had a shirtless drinking contest? I was terrified by your muscular body. I don't know how you trained. You look like a handsome boy when you're dressed, but when you take off your clothes, your muscles look stronger than mine."

"Haha, Brother Jing, let's not talk about this anymore. Come sit inside first. It's not right to stand at the door of the crew all the time." Yang Hao laughed and welcomed Wu Jing and Xie Nan to the crew.

"You guys, distribute the fruit drinks that Brother Jing brought to the actors here." Looking at the large cart of fruit drinks brought by Wu Jing and Xie Nan, Yang Hao instructed the two crew members behind him.

Sitting under the awning built by the crew, Wu Jing, Xie Nan and Yang Hao drank tea and chatted.

"Brother Jing, I didn't have time to attend the celebration party for Wolf Warrior 1 last time. I'm really sorry."

Wolf Warrior 1 was released several weeks ago, and a celebration party was held. Wu Jing personally invited Yang Hao at that time. However, Liu Yifei was pregnant at that time, and Yang Hao only wanted to finish filming The Witch as soon as possible, so he did not attend the celebration party for Wolf Warrior 1.

"It's okay, it's okay. The filming task of "The Witch" is more important." Wu Jing waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

"Yang Hao, is the shooting progress of "The Witch" tight? Why don't you go and get busy first, and we can get together after the crew finishes work." Wu Jing knew that the investment in the movie "The Witch" was as high as 5 million yuan, and every minute the crew was delayed would result in a huge loss, so she reminded him.

"Yes, Yang Hao, you go and host the filming first. Wu Jing and I will just sit here for a while." Xie Nan also said.

"Brother Jing and Sister Nan, the crew is now letting the assistant director take over the filming. There won't be any problems, so you can rest assured." Yang Hao said with a laugh.

"By the way, Brother Jing and Sister Nan, are you two here to visit the set for something else?"

“Yang Hao, now that things have come to this, I’ll just say it straight. This time I came here just to ask, what are your thoughts on investing in Wolf Warrior 2?” Wu Jing was still very generous. He didn’t hesitate and directly stated his intention.

“Oh?” Although he was mentally prepared, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel excited when he heard from Wu Jing that the other party was really visiting the set because of the investment in "Wolf Warrior 2".

To be honest, "Wolf Warrior 2" is really awesome, with a box office of over billion yuan.

The box office is outrageous, it seems like Wu Jing also has a system.

Wu Jing's life can be summarized by the title of a novel, which is "People Awaken to the Entertainment System at the Age of Forty" or "After Marriage, I Awaken to the Entertainment System".

"Brother Jing, how much investment do you still need for Wolf Warrior 2?" Yang Hao wanted to understand the situation first before discussing the investment.

"Yang Hao, you were the first person I approached for investment in Wolf Warrior 2." There was nothing to hide, so Wu Jing told the truth directly.

"There are some things Wu Jing is embarrassed to say, so I'll say it on Wu Jing's behalf. Yang Hao, your vision for film and television investment is recognized as good in the industry. That's why Wu Jing and I thought of you first when it came to investing in Wolf Warrior 2. As long as you're willing to invest, it'll be easy to attract investment with your reputation, brother." Xie Nan took over Wu Jing's words.

As soon as Xie Nan said this, Yang Hao understood.

It is just as Xie Nan said, Yang Hao is very famous in the film industry now. He is known as a producer worth tens of billions, and none of the movies he invested in has failed so far.

For the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", as long as Yang Hao invested 30%, Wu Jing could directly approach China Film Group and Wanda with his reputation, and the remaining shares would be easily taken up, and there were even investors willing to take over at a premium.

"Okay, I understand. Then Brother Jing, what is the cost budget for Wolf Warrior 2 and how much can I invest?" When talking about business, Yang Hao's expression became a little serious.

“Yang Hao, let me be frank. My initial budget for the movie Wolf Warrior 2 is million. Of course, this is assuming that the filming goes smoothly. If there are problems during the filming, there may be some overspending.”

"Yang Hao, do you think it's okay to invest in 30% of the shares?" After saying this, Wu Jing stared at Yang Hao, trying to read some intentions from Yang Hao's facial expression.

Yang Hao agreed with what Wu Jing said, which was basically the same as his memories of his previous life.

The initial production budget of "Wolf Warrior 2" was 2 million. The entire crew went to Africa for on-site filming, but it coincided with local unrest and crew members were hospitalized one after another due to insect bites, which hindered filming. In the end, the cost of the film was raised to million.

Now that Wu Jing said the production cost is 80 million, Yang Hao won't say much. Just go with the production cost of 80 million and wait until the budget overruns and additional investment is needed in the later stage before saying anything.

"Okay, then let's do as Brother Jing says." Yang Hao agreed immediately.

A 30% share is only 2400 million, a small amount of money.

"Thank you so much." Wu Jing was really overjoyed when she heard Yang Hao agree.

In the past, when he went out to solicit investment for Wolf Tooth and Wolf Warrior 1, he had to be humble every time, treat people to meals, accompany them with drinks, and put on a smile. It had never been so easy. It was the first time that he got investment with just a few words like today.

"Brother Jing, I invested in this movie because I think highly of you. If you have other movies that need investment in the future, you can come to me." Yang Hao said in a pretentious manner.

Wu Jing's career has really taken off since Wolf Warriors 2, with subsequent films like The Wandering Earth, The Battle at Lake Changjin, and The Watergate Bridge at Lake Changjin all costing four or five billion yuan each. Naturally, Yang Hao wants to get a piece of the pie from these films.

"Okay, Brother Yang, if I need investment in the future I will definitely come to you first." Wu Jing said this sincerely, he really wanted to cooperate deeply with Yang Hao.

Yang Hao not only has a good relationship with China Film Group and Wanda, but is also a major shareholder of Maoyan. In addition to investment, he can also provide help in many aspects such as film promotion and scheduling. He is definitely the best investor in the entertainment industry.

"By the way, Yang Hao, do you want to play a role in Wolf Warrior 2?" Wu Jing took advantage of the good conversation between the two and made a suggestion.

“Brother Jing, I’m busy filming The Witch right now. After filming The Witch, I have several other projects to follow up. I really don’t have time to play a role in Wolf Warrior 2.” Yang Hao evaded the question.

Without Wu Jing saying anything, Yang Hao knew that the role he wanted to play was definitely Zhuo Yifan, the second male lead.

When he first debuted, Yang Hao was still interested in being an actor. However, after appearing in several works, Yang Hao felt bored with the profession of actor.

It is better to be a director or a film and television investor. This way, you can not only make money, but also pick up girls. Moreover, you are behind the scenes, so even if the gossip is exposed, it will not be a big deal.

In the entertainment industry, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. For those behind the scenes, this is not a scandal at all, it can only be said to be a romantic talent.

"Okay, I see."

Wu Jing had just invited Yang Hao to star in Wolf Warrior 2. As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong. Yang Hao's status in the film industry is much higher than his. Asking Yang Hao to play a supporting role would be a slap in the face to him.

"Brother Jing, have you decided on the actors for Wolf Warrior 2?"

Although I don't want to act in it, the company's artists or my good friends can all perform in it.

After all, "Wolf Warrior 2" is a movie with a box office of over billion yuan. Even if it is a small role, it will greatly improve the actor's qualifications and will be of great benefit to his future development.

"Oh! Forget it. I have already tried to invite some actors, but only a few responded."

Having said that, Wu Jing began to complain to Yang Hao.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is not just about action scenes, it also has to be filmed abroad, in a turbulent country like Africa, and the pay is not high.

Most actors would immediately refuse this kind of job as soon as they hear about it because it pays little and is far from home.

Especially the actresses, none of them were willing to do it.

"Brother Jing, do you want me to introduce you to an actress?" Yang Hao asked tentatively.

"Okay!"

Wu Jing had also heard about Yang Hao's romantic affairs in the entertainment industry. She knew that Yang Hao had close personal relationships with several big stars in the circle, and that Yang Hao owned a lot of shares in Liu Shishi and Da Mimi's companies.

It would be best if Yang Hao could recommend popular stars like Liu Shishi or Da Mimi.

As for the fact that they have no acting skills? Wu Jing doesn't care at all.

The heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2" is just a vase role. It is enough for her to be beautiful. It would be even more perfect if she could attract some traffic for the movie.

"What do you think of Jing Tian?"

"Jingtian?"

Originally, he thought that Yang Hao would recommend Da Mimi or Liu Shishi. After all, Yang Hao himself had used these two 85 flowers in several of his movies, and their relationship should be very close. But he never expected that Yang Hao would actually recommend Da Tiantian.

After a brief surprise, Wu Jing felt that Jing Tian was not bad.

Although her popularity is slightly lower than Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, her identity is amazing.

With her joining, there is no need to worry about the investment of this movie, and the film scheduling is even more guaranteed.

"It's suitable, really suitable." The more Wu Jing thought about it, the more she felt that Da Tiantian was very suitable to play the female lead in "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Jing Tian is definitely very suitable for this role, but filming in Africa is very hard. Can this little princess endure this hardship?"

Wu Jing expressed her full support for Da Tiantian joining the film, but she was afraid that she could not bear the hardship.

"Don't worry about this. Although Jing Tian has a special status, she really likes acting. She is dedicated and hardworking. Of course, Africa is a very chaotic place. You must protect her. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to bear the consequences." Yang Hao said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, security measures will be in place. I can guarantee that." Wu Jing patted his chest and assured.

If other women followed me, they would have some other ulterior motives. But if a little princess like Jing Tian was willing to follow me, it was definitely not because she was plotting something against me.

Yang Hao had given a lot of resources to other women, but Jing Tian was the only one he gave the least.

This time, "Wolf Warrior 2" can be regarded as compensation for her, fulfilling her dream of making a movie.

"By the way, Yang Hao, would you like to recommend the second male lead as well?"

"The second male lead?" Yang Hao was slightly stunned when he heard Wu Jing actively asking him to recommend the second male lead. But then he saw Wu Jing's eyes were fixed on Chen Xiao and Li Xian who were filming not far away.

Could it be that Wu Jing likes one of them?
"Brother Jing, what do you think of the two male actors who are filming the action scenes over there?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"Yang Hao, call the actor standing on the left over to come over and take a look," Wu Jing said while pointing.

On the left? That means Chen Xiao.

"After this scene is over, go call Chen Xiao over." Yang Hao quickly whispered to the crew members not far away.

"Director Yang, Brother Jing, Sister Nan." Chen Xiao walked over and greeted the three people present politely.

"What do you think of Chen Xiao, Brother Jing?" Yang Hao asked.

"You have a strong face, with sharp edges and corners, very masculine. Not bad, very good." Wu Jing stared at Chen Xiao for a while before he began to praise him.

"It's him." Finally, Wu Jing nodded to Yang Hao, expressing her satisfaction with Chen Xiao's appearance.

"Chen Xiao, why don't you thank Brother Jing quickly? He has given you a lot of resources. When this movie is released, you can expect to become a big star."

"Thank you Brother Jing, thank you Sister Nan, thank you Director Yang." I have to say that Chen Xiao is a good person. Yang Hao clearly only asked him to thank Wu Jing, but he thanked every one of them.

Yang Hao was in a good mood after negotiating the investment and casting matters of "Wolf Warrior 2" with Wu Jing.

Not only does it own a considerable proportion of "Wolf Warrior 2", but except for the male lead Wu Jing, all other important actors are its own people. In other words, a considerable proportion of the fruits of the film's victory were stolen by itself.

"Brother Jing, let's go drink." Yang Hao was in a good mood. As soon as the crew finished work, he pulled Brother Jing to the drinking table.

"Let's go drink." Wu Jing also became interested when she heard about drinking. (End of this chapter)
