"Mr. Yang, I have seen all the movies you directed. They are so brilliant," Ma Yun continued.

"Then Mr. Ma, which movie is your favorite?" Yang Hao asked back.

“Of course it’s ‘Zhu Xian’. Although this movie is a fantasy film, it also has elements of martial arts.” Ma Yun said firmly.

"When I was a kid, I loved Jin Yong's martial arts novels so much that I always had a dream of becoming a martial arts hero. I always wanted to be a martial arts expert and experience the world of swords and sabers, but unfortunately I never got to do so."

"When the filming of "Swordsman" started in the early 2000s, I went to interview Feng Qingyang, but I was not selected because I had no acting experience." Talking about her dream of becoming a martial arts hero, Ma Yun fell into memories of the past.

"Mr. Ma, you can invest in a martial arts film, play the leading role yourself, and fulfill your childhood dream of being a martial arts hero." After listening to Ma Yun's martial arts dream, Yang Hao gave some advice.

"Hmm?" Ma Yun was quite interested in Yang Hao's suggestion of investing and starring in the film herself.

"How can I do it without any acting experience?" Ma Yun was really touched by Yang Hao's suggestion, so she asked humbly.

"Boss Ma, strictly speaking, when it comes to movies, acting is the least important. As long as there is enough money for filming and enough time, you can always get good results by slowly polishing it."

What Yang Hao said was not false. If NG once is not enough, just NG ten or a hundred times. No matter how bad the acting is, the desired effect can be achieved. It's just that this will extend the shooting cycle and increase the production costs, which a normal crew cannot afford. But this amount of money is just a drizzle for Jack Ma.

In her previous life, Ma Yun starred in a micro-film called "Kung Fu Yoga". In this film, Ma's acting skills were remarkable.

With the payment palm, ant leg and Huabei punch, Leng Feng was beaten to his knees by the powerful force of Yi Liang to defeat a huge force, and the master Ip Man was defeated, and he could even pin Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng to the ground and rub him.

To sum it up in one sentence, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of Yuanzi.

"Boss Yang, since you said that, I really want to invest in a martial arts film."

"Then I wish that the movie starring Mr. Ma will be a big hit at the box office." Yang Hao complimented.

"What are Mr. Yang, Mr. Ci, and Mr. Ma talking about together?" Just when Yang Hao, Mr. Ci, and Ma Yun were chatting enthusiastically, Ma Huateng and Wang Jianlin came over.

"We're talking about movies." Yang Hao had the youngest seniority among the group, so he was the first to say hello.

"Mr. Yang, I think the project you sent me a few days ago is pretty good. On behalf of Wanda, I agree to invest."

Wanda has made a lot of money from Yang Hao's movies in recent years and has no doubts about Yang Hao's abilities.

Wang Jianlin had read the Honghuang Universe project book and knew that this project was not a simple film investment, but rather a comprehensive real estate project. Real estate is Wanda’s main business, especially the construction of China Disneyland and Wanda Plaza, which were somewhat similar, which made Wang Jianlin very interested.

"I agree on behalf of Tencent." The Honghuang Universe project includes diversified IP operations such as film investment, TV series production, animation adaptation, game adaptation, etc. Many of these are Penguin's strong businesses, so Tencent naturally cannot give them up to others.

"Ali is also willing to work with Mr. Yang to create a vast universe." Jack Ma also expressed his opinion shortly afterwards.

Alibaba just established an entertainment group last year and has invested in many movies, but the results have been minimal. Now that they have finally caught up with Yang Hao, Ma Yun doesn’t want to miss it.

Moreover, this project aims to create China's unique primitive universe to compete with the Marvel Universe. The project also involves real estate, tourism and many other aspects, and has a very bright future.

Ma Yun likes this kind of project that seems to be bragging.

With the statements made by several bigwigs present, the Honghuang Universe Project has reached a preliminary intention for cooperation. As for the details of the cooperation, they will be discussed by subordinates.

Has the Honghuang Universe project been negotiated?
Is it that simple?
Yang Hao was originally planning to give a passionate speech with a PPT, but he never expected that the cooperation was reached with just a few words from the big guys.

Ci Peikang waved to the waiter beside him, and the waiter was quick and brought five glasses of red wine.

"Happy cooperation!" Yang Hao, Ci Peikang, Wang Jianlin and the two Mr. Mas, each holding a glass of red wine, raised their glasses to celebrate.
-
The place where Yang Hao, Ci Peikang, Wang Jianlin, Ma Huateng and Ma Yun were was the center of the celebration banquet, and countless people's eyes were fixed on this place.

The five people raising their glasses to celebrate was naturally seen by everyone.

Today is the celebration banquet for the movie "Zhu Xian". It is normal for Ci Peikang and Yang Hao to appear on this occasion. As Wanda is an investor, it is understandable that Wang Jianlin would appear.

But the appearance of Tencent's Ma and Alibaba's Ma is not in line with common sense. Coupled with the action of the five people raising their glasses to celebrate, people with sharp minds are wondering, have the five of them reached some new cooperation project?
Since Yang Hao is involved, the most likely collaboration is a film and television project.

It is hard to understand what kind of film and television project it is that would require the three richest men in China, Ma Yun, Alibaba Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin, to personally show up.

You should know that the total investment in the "Zhu Xian" project is as high as more than ten billion yuan, and Tencent's Ma, Alibaba's Ma and Wang Jianlin did not show up in person.

For a moment, many people were whispering in the corner of the celebration banquet venue, speculating on what kind of cooperation Yang Hao had reached with the richest people.
-
Da Mimi, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and Da Tiantian knew about the Honghuang Universe project because they have a close relationship with Yang Hao.

But they also don’t know that the three richest people in China, Tencent’s Ma, Alibaba’s Ma, and Wang Jianlin, will attend the celebration banquet for “Zhu Xian” today.

Seeing Yang Hao chatting and laughing with the three richest men, the four girls were a little dazed. Is this still the Yang Hao who usually laughs and jokes and doesn't take things too seriously?
Yang Hao's status in the underworld is so high? He can be on par with the richest man?
The girls were all proud of Yang Hao. They all felt that they had made the right decision by following Yang Hao and that they had not made a mistake in choosing him.
-
Zhou Ye was signed to Liu Yifei's company, and at the celebration party for "Zhu Xian", Liu Yifei brought her out to see the world.

Zhou Ye, who was sitting in a remote corner, stared blankly at Yang Hao and several richest people chatting and laughing in the center of the venue, inexplicably absent-minded.

She recalled the conversation her agent had with her some time ago.

"Zhou Ye, do you know what is the most important thing in the entertainment industry?"

“Is it acting?”

"No."

“Is it the appearance?”

"No."

"What is that?"

“It’s the sponsor.”

"I'm signed to Sister Feifei. Sister Feifei said she helped me get the female lead role in Detective Chinatown 2. This is the female lead! Sister Feifei is my financial sponsor."

"Think again about who is your sister Feifei's financial sponsor?"

"Uh! It's Senior Brother Yang Hao."

"Following Liu Yifei, there will definitely be no shortage of resources like the second and third female roles, but it will be extremely difficult to really stand out."

"And look at Meng Ziyi, Zhao Liying, Yang Zi, Yang Chaoyue, these female artists who signed directly with Yang Hao are now all thriving in the entertainment industry."

"Except for Dilraba Dilmurat, all the artists signed to Liu Shishi and Da Mimi are doing much worse than them." The agent stopped abruptly here, but the meaning was already very clear.

Zhou Ye naturally understood what the agent meant for him to steal Sister Feifei's financial sponsor.

Sister Feifei was really good to me. Not only did she help me get the female lead role in "Detective Chinatown 2", she also arranged a personal agent for me before I made my debut.

Zhou Ye really couldn't do such a thing as trying to steal Sister Feifei's financial sponsor by himself.

But what the agent said is indeed correct. There is no comparison between Liu Yifei and senior brother Yang Hao.

Although Liu Yifei is more than ten years older than himself, her acting style is exactly the same as his. Any role that he can play, Liu Yifei can also play. If he is signed to her, she will definitely get the best resources first, and he will only get the leftovers.

If he really wanted to become famous, he had to break away from Liu Yifei, the middleman, and get directly close to his senior brother Yang Hao.

I was so confused. Should I report this agent to Sister Feifei for being a traitor or should I just follow his instructions? —
After a while, the celebration banquet officially began.

After the main creators gave speeches, smashed the ice sculptures, and interviewed by reporters, today's banquet began.

The celebration banquet for "Zhu Xian" was held in the form of a buffet, and the Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe was invited to perform on the stage on the right.

Yang Hao found a seat, ate two pieces of cake, and enjoyed Bai Shanshan's singing and dancing performance for a while.

It's really an eye-opener!

Bai Shanshan is truly worthy of being the director of Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe. The squat dance she performs on the big drum is so graceful that even if Zhao Feiyan were still alive, she would probably be no better.

"Yang Hao!" Just as Yang Hao was eating pastries, a shout came from beside him.

As soon as the voice came into his ears, Da Tiantian sat next to Yang Hao.

There were too many celebrities who came to Yang Hao to say hello and make friends with him. Da Tiantian's actions did not attract much attention.

"Hey, Yang Hao, you really got it right. The Great Wall is really a flop."

Yang Hao had mentioned to Da Tiantian before that "The Great Wall" would most likely be a flop, and Da Tiantian was skeptical at the time.

After all, this movie has such a strong cast, and the global hit of "Zhu Xian" has established a good reputation for Chinese-language films. With the right time, place and people, "The Great Wall" actually flopped, which makes Da Tiantian still a little unbelievable.

The total investment of "The Great Wall" was 1 billion RMB. It has been released for three weeks now, and the global box office has just exceeded 1.2 billion. According to the current box office trend, the maximum box office will be 1.3 to 1.4 billion by the time it is released. It is such a terrible flop.

After hearing what Da Tiantian said, Yang Hao really wanted to complain. "The Great Wall" had a box office of 1.2 billion in three weeks, and that was all thanks to himself. If it weren't for several of his other films selling well internationally and expanding the audience for Chinese-language films, the box office would probably have only been 1 billion like in his previous life.

"Yang Hao, my family no longer supports my movies." Da Tiantian said pitifully.

Although the movies starring Da Tiantian in the past were flops, the investment costs were far less than that of "The Great Wall". If the movie box office can make back some of the investment, and the online copyright can make some more, the loss is actually not that much.

However, the investment in "The Great Wall" was as high as 1 billion yuan, and this time the investors directly lost nearly 500 million yuan. Even if Da Tiantian has a powerful force behind her, she cannot withstand this loss.

In her previous life, after the flop of "The Great Wall", Da Tiantian's resources dropped drastically. Unexpectedly, she made the same mistake again in this life.

"Tiantian, it's okay. Wolf Warrior 2 will be released next year. This movie will make you famous."

"Aren't you going to star in a movie about the great universe soon? This movie will also be your breakthrough work."

"Besides, you still have me, so why are you afraid of not having resources?" Yang Hao comforted the other party.

"Yang Hao, you are so nice."

There were many people and a lot of gossip at the celebration party, so Da Tiantian didn't stay with Yang Hao for long. She simply complained to Yang Hao for a while and then left.
-
"Senior Brother!" Not long after Da Tiantian left Yang Hao, another beautiful figure approached.

Many people came to chat with Yang Hao today, but the one who called him "senior brother" was the first one.

Feeling that the voice was familiar, Yang Hao looked up and found that it was Ye Zi whom he met by chance when he returned to Beijing Film Academy to give a speech last time.

"Zhou Ye!" Yang Hao opened his mouth and greeted the other party.

"Senior brother, you still remember my name." It has been almost half a year since the last time he met Yang Hao, but Senior Brother Yang Hao still remembers his name, which makes Zhou Ye very surprised.

"Junior Sister Zhou Ye is so beautiful, of course I can't forget her."

Little girls like to be praised for their beauty, especially when praised by a young, rich and handsome guy like Yang Hao, Zhou Ye would be even happier.

"Senior brother, thank you for letting me play the female lead in "Detective Chinatown 2." As he spoke, Zhou Ye bowed deeply to Yang Hao.

The dress Zhou Ye wore had a deep V-neck and transparent bra pads. She didn't use her hands to cover her chest when she bowed, and from Yang Hao's angle, he could see clearly what was inside.

Did the little girl do this on purpose?
There were so many people at the celebration banquet, and this little girl was so bold. This was really beyond Yang Hao's expectation.

Yang Hao helped her up and said, "Junior sister, you are too polite. I let you play the leading role in Detective Chinatown 2 because I think your image and temperament are suitable. Perform well on the set and seize this opportunity."

"Yes, I understand, Senior Brother."

At this point, the more tactful ones knew to leave. I thought Zhou Ye would do the same, but who would have thought that Zhou Ye would continue to say, "Brother, to thank you for letting me star in "Detective Chinatown 2", can I treat you to a meal after the celebration banquet?"

As Zhou Ye spoke, he also put a card into his palm. He looked down and saw that it was a hotel room card.

Free room card when dining?
Is it so direct?

Nowadays young girls are too open-minded. They don’t even want to endure a hardship and just want to take shortcuts.

However, Yang Hao still likes these young actresses who take shortcuts, and he likes this bad trend in the entertainment industry.

After all, she was an artist under Liu Yifei, and she had good intentions. Yang Hao couldn't let her down, so he put the room card in his pocket and said to Zhou Ye,

"Junior sister, please send me your location on WeChat later. We'll see you after the celebration banquet."

"Okay, Senior Brother, I'll send it to you right away." Hearing Senior Brother Yang Hao's agreement, Zhou Ye's face was first happy, then slightly flushed, and his steps were slightly awkward when he left. (End of this chapter)
