Chapter 328 8 Princes

dusk.

The setting sun shines into the ward.

It also shines on Shu's rosy cheeks, where the lingering sound of her singing still remains.

The two of them spent half a day planting in the utility room on the rooftop.

First, prepare the field and loosen the soil.

Then cultivate seedlings and prepare for sowing.

To planting seedlings, irrigation and drainage.

The rice seeds are finally harvested and stored in warehouses.

Unlike some farmers who are old and lack the physical strength, they need the help of agricultural machinery.

Zhang Yuan plowed the land just by relying on his physical strength.

"Brother Yuan, let me peel an apple for you." Shu Chang stood by his bed like a young wife, with indescribable tenderness in her eyes.

"No!" Zhang Yuan now feels disgusted when he sees apples.

When I'm sick, I eat apples.

Why do women love to peel apples?
Show off your knife skills in front of me!

"I'm afraid you'll hurt your hand." He quickly added.

"Well, hehe..." Shu Chang smiled and lowered his head.

"You will go back to the capital in a while. I have arranged a flight for you." Zhang Yuan arranged.

"I have something else to do here, so I can't leave for the time being."

"When you go home, remember to buy some gifts for your family and repair your relationship."

Although he had a general impression of Shu Chang's family, they were a bunch of military advisors and a burden, Little Nezha.

But family is family, and Shu Chang cannot do without them.

"I understand." Changchang felt warm in her heart when she heard him say that.

"But I plan to move out next year and live on my own."

"My cousin is grown up now. I can't occupy her room anymore."

"Besides, I live alone, so it's convenient..." Changchang's voice gradually faded away: "It's also convenient for you to come and see me."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan agreed: "But you have to remember to buy a house when you have money."

"Try to buy a house within the Third Ring Road, or even the Second Ring Road, okay?"

Shu Chang is the type of person who understands small things but hesitates about big things.

Zhang Yuan was afraid of accidents if he asked her to do some troublesome financial management methods.

It would be best for her to hoard houses and become a landlady.

"Oh, I understand." Changchang didn't think she needed to buy so many houses. Not only did she believe Zhang Yuan's words, but she also bought them.

"By the way, I recently signed up for a financial course outside of school."

"I think I should learn more skills that can help you."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

As the business grows bigger, we need someone to take charge of the financial affairs.

Shu Chang's personality is more suitable for internal affairs and she is smart, so this job is more suitable for her.

The two were chatting, and it had indeed been a while since they had a good chat.

At this moment, Teacher Wang Bozhao, who still had some difficulty walking but couldn't wait for the opportunity to take a walk, walked back slowly.

"Hello, Teacher Wang."

"Hey, hello!" Wang Bozhao waved to Shu Chang when he saw him.

"Just one movie, 'The Golden Age', hooked up with two of them..." Wang Bozhao complained in his mind.

"I don't know if Dong Jie has fallen into his hands..."

They were all old acquaintances, so they started chatting together. Halfway through the conversation, Teacher Wang suddenly brought up the topic.

"I just heard it in the corridor."

"That old storage room on the hospital rooftop is haunted!"

"The door was clearly locked, but there were noises coming from inside, making a lot of noises."

"I heard that it was a couple who jumped off a building in the hospital, and their souls were locked on the roof."

"It's said that hospitals are full of negative energy. This place is always prone to being haunted."

"No, I have to be discharged from the hospital early."

Zhang Yuan thought, is the storage room on the rooftop of the hospital haunted?
I haven’t heard of it. Shu Chang and I just went there…

Hey!
Zhang Yuan looked at Changchang, whose face was as red as the sunset clouds and whose head was lowered so low that it was almost buried between her legs.

Changchang couldn't hold it any longer, and soon said goodbye in a hurry and rushed to the airport.

Later, the haunted rooftop storage room became one of the top ten urban legends of Hengdian First People's Hospital...

Drop drop drop.

Not long after Shu Chang left, Zhang Yuan received a call.

A call from Sugar Man boss Cai Yinong!
During the previous period, Boss Cai sent a text message to express his condolences, but he did not come in person.

After all, she has the support of the Hong Kong circle, so it is indeed difficult for her to do anything before the matter is resolved, and it is normal for her to wait and see.

Moreover, after she heard the inside information of the matter, she felt that Zhang Yuan would most likely offend everyone in the Hong Kong circle.

She was still worrying about what to do in the future, and even whether she could still cooperate with Zhang Yuan.

Because Tangren has a lot of resources from the Hong Kong circle, its partner Li Guoli is a member of the Hong Kong circle.

If the Hong Kong circle rejects Zhang Yuan, it will be difficult for Tangren to use him under such pressure.

Boss Cai has both the strengths and weaknesses, he is not ruthless enough.

As she hesitated, she found that the wind direction suddenly changed.

what?
The Hong Kong circle did not ban Zhang Yuan!

what?
Zhang Yuan has reconciled with the Hong Kong circle!

what?
Mr. Yang of Emperor Entertainment Group is quite optimistic about Zhang Yuan?
Boss Cai's mind was a mess, and he was almost seeing garbled characters.

It was not until she finished watching the press conference and found that Nicholas Tse was safe and sound that she clapped her thighs loudly.

"You kid..."

She never expected this would be the result.

Not only did Zhang Yuan escape unscathed, he also gained a lot of benefits.

"This way, there will be no obstacles for the company to cooperate with him," Boss Cai thought.

"Hey!"

Then, she read the overwhelming reports about Zhang Yuan in recent days and got an idea.

"Zhang Yuan's fame has been greatly improved within this week."

“It’s no exaggeration to say that this is earth-shaking!”

Boss Cai looked at the dozen or so newspapers and magazines on the coffee table in his office. Whenever there was content related to the entertainment section, Zhang Yuan's name would definitely appear in the largest and most conspicuous place.

Just as Zhang Yuan judged, the imperial circle needs to create a hero.

Especially after Zhang Weijian was sold by Emperor Entertainment Group and completely became the representative of the remaining poison in the Hong Kong circle, he needed a positive character to contrast with him.

After all, the stronger the sunlight, the darker the shadows appear, and vice versa.

"Among the young male actors in their twenties, at least at this point in time, he is the most famous one!"

"In that case, can I use his current fame to promote The Chinese Paladin, which few TV stations dare to buy because of the travel ban?"

"After all, he starred in this movie."

Boss Cai thinks.

This market sensitivity and business acumen are worthy of me!
Just as she was planning to contact a few TV station leaders she was familiar with, she thought that if she tried hard, she should be able to sell three or four broadcasting rights and recoup the filming costs.

Her secretary came in in a panic.

"Mr. Cai, this is not good."

“Our phone has been ringing off the hook!”

"what's up?"

"They are all from the TV station. They want to make an appointment with you to discuss the broadcasting rights of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

"Ah?" Boss Cai looked confused.

Didn't I call yet?
what happened?

She started working in confusion, and then... one after another TV stations came to buy the broadcasting rights of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" as if they were fighting for food.

I answered phone calls all day long, from morning to night. I only ate a small piece of bread to fill my stomach and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. I was so thirsty from the negotiations.

After finally taking a break to catch his breath, Boss Cai flipped through the laptop of the secretary who was helping him take notes.

A total of eighteen TV stations!

Although there is no provincial satellite TV station, there are only local stations.

But eighteen is scary enough!

China's television stations are divided into four levels, generally known as four-level stations.

Central, provincial, municipal, and county.

Some wealthier towns and villages even have their own fifth-level television stations.

The number of TV dramas that CCTV can broadcast each year is very limited, and the censorship is extremely strict.

Therefore, even if it is a big-budget hit drama, it is generally difficult to be broadcast directly on CCTV.

Unless the producer is a veteran in the entertainment circle, or the film is co-produced with CCTV, such as "The Mansion Gate", the first broadcast is CCTV-1.

Ordinary films naturally do not have this condition. Most of them have to be tested on municipal TV stations to see the results. Only those with good luck and a strong background can be broadcast on provincial TV stations.

The 18 TV stations that came to see Mr. Cai were all third-level, that is, city-level TV stations. Why were there no county-level TV stations?
Because the Film Association can't afford to lose this person...

The funding and advertising support for municipal TV stations are certainly not as abundant as those for provincial TV stations.

In addition, those who buy films now are actually buying the second round of broadcasting rights. If Formosa Boulevard is included, it is already the third round of broadcasting rights.

The bride price for a virgin girl must be much higher than that for a man who has lived with someone, and the same goes for the movie.

Of course, fairies are not included.

In addition to the limitations of the times, don't even think about earning several million, let alone one million.

However, because Zhang Yuan has become so famous recently, these TV stations are willing to offer a high price.

There are still hundreds of thousands.

Cai Yinong took out a calculator and did the math, and was shocked!
"Nearly 1500 million..."

Add to that the copyright fees from Taiwan, Shanghai, and Shancheng TV stations, and this movie is already profitable just from the broadcast rights...

The discs, peripherals, and future rebroadcast rights, that’s not even included.

Boss Cai couldn't believe this figure and kept calculating it over and over again for a long time.

Even more than ten years later, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was able to bring Tangren Film and Television millions of dollars in continuous revenue every year.

The total gross profit brought to the company has already exceeded 100 million.

Therefore, being able to make a profit based on the first year's broadcasting rights is something that Boss Cai would not have dared to imagine even without the "Travel Restriction Order".

“This movie is going to take off…”

Cai Yinong thought about it and felt that this didn't make sense.

After thinking for a long time, she finally reacted.

"If there is something that doesn't make sense, it's probably related to him..."

That's why I called.

"Oh, that's a good thing." Zhang Yuan learned from her that "the eighteen princes joined together to make this event a great success."

"Did you do this?" Boss Cai asked cautiously.

"Before asking questions, the people from the Film Association came to visit me in the hospital, and I told them about The Chinese Paladin."

"Ask them for help."

really!

Cai Yinong sighed.

"She used her connections with the Film Association to make the Chinese Paladin a hit..."

"If it's something else, I'm afraid he can get more."

[Received thanks from Cai Yinong, Art Basics +1, Observation +1, Negotiation Skills +1! ]

Boss Cai was overwhelmed with emotion.

This... Even after being beaten like that, he's still thinking about our sugar man.

She felt guilty.

"Because of things happening in the Hong Kong industry, I didn't go to visit the patient before..."

"Tsk, this was done... poorly."

If Boss Cai hadn't thought that Zhang Yuan probably didn't like him, he would have been so moved that he would have wanted to marry him.

Zhang Yuan: That’s not necessary…

It will be enough for your female artist to pledge herself to you, and the boss can do it himself.

"I've remembered this. If you need any help in the future, as long as I can do it, it's just a matter of saying a word." Boss Cai's nose felt a little sore.

It's rare to find such a sensible young person these days.

It's really my temper.

"I will definitely not be polite. I can't say I'm helping you. I hope we can cooperate more in the future and have long-term cooperation."

"Sure!" Cai Yinong replied immediately without even having to think about it.

"No need for later. Next year, we Sugar Man will have a new play called New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio."

"Once the script is finished, I'll send it to you and you can choose any role you want!"

"You pick the rest, and I'll find someone else."

Boss Cai is a loyal person, and women are easily impulsive, so she made a promise directly.

"Thank you very much, I'll contact you then."

"Well, contact me later."

Putting down the phone, Zhang Yuan said thoughtfully.

"Another film contract, I have to arrange my schedule and find some time for it."

Wang Bozhao, who was standing by, got angry when he heard this!
Other young actors rush to audition but still can't find roles to play, but you are so different. People rush to offer you roles, but you are still picky and not very happy...

Zhang Yuan thought about it and understood clearly.

“Even if the Film Association helps me, they probably can’t find 18 companies.”

"I guess half of them came to me on their own initiative after seeing my fame explode in the past two days."

He was right.

In fact, at the beginning, the Film Association helped to make the contact, especially the old lady Liu Guoquan, who is an expert in the TV drama circle.

But most TV stations are still a bit shy.

With the "Travel Restriction Order" issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, we are always a little cautious.

But when the matter became clear, Zhang Yuan became famous because of it.

All major TV stations: We have admired Mr. Zhang Yuan for a long time!
Radio and television?

Well... our local station has its own considerations.

As long as the benefits are enough, some wild local stations dare to broadcast even Category III films. What else is there to worry about?

"Oh, I see you are very busy. The phone keeps ringing from morning to night and you are busy all the time." Teacher Wang exclaimed.

"Are you tired?"

"I'm tired, but there's nothing I can do." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, but did not put down his phone.

He is still waiting for a call from someone.

It was also his last prey in this game.

"In two days, I have to go back to the crew to shoot the remaining scenes."

"Humph!" Teacher Wang snorted when he mentioned the crew: "You are really generous and tolerant."

"Anyway, I won't go back no matter what. Let them shoot and edit however they want!"

Zhang Yuan did not try to persuade them. After all, one should not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering.

It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist. People who make sarcastic remarks are the most immoral.

He understood Wang Bozhao's mentality very well.

No one who gets beaten up like this would want to go back to the place where the incident happened, and might even develop PTSD.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

"Contact me?"

"What's the matter?" Teacher Wang asked puzzledly.

"Didn't I promise you before that I would find a way to let you vent your anger?"

"Isn't it already happened?" Wang Bozhao frowned: "You've made Zhang Weijian infertile."

Zhang Yuan: …

You said that as if I had castrated him.

"Isn't there another one?" Zhang Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Ah, didn't you agree with Emperor Entertainment Group to remove Nicholas Tse from the team..."

"That's externally, internally, he still hurt you, right?"

"Yes!" Although Wang Bozhao didn't hate Master Xie that much, he was much better than the bald guy.

But it's still impossible to say that I'm not angry at all.

"I will do what I promised you. I will keep my word."

Teacher Wang looked at him straight, with a hint of fear in his eyes, exactly the same look he had on the day he found out that he had secretly hurt Zhang Weijian.

"Ok."

He was so nervous that he didn't know what the other party would do.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven.

Zhang Yuan has a clear account in his mind.

I have reached a deal with Emperor Entertainment Group, but Mr. Xie is still tied down by Wang Fei.

But let’s be honest.

If you do something wrong, you still need to be taught a lesson.

Otherwise it would be unfair to so many mainland actors.

drop by drop...

His cell phone rang again.

Zhang Yuan picked up the call steadily.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan, hello."

A voice that was neither male nor female came from the loudspeaker.

"Hello."

My last prey is here! (End of this chapter)
