After listening to Yang Buting's words, Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time.

"I am transferring this from a fanfiction to an official one..."

Warner Bros. has it planned.

Let him exclusively narrate the Harry Potter story, re-recording it starting from The Sorcerer's Stone.

Each work has 30 to 40 chapters, and the remuneration is one million.

They did this for one reason, to establish an official channel so that Zhang Yuan could speak and no one else could.

Moreover, the storytelling that Zhang Yuan mentioned was recorded, produced, and edited entirely by people sent by Warner, and the copyright also belongs to them.

Otherwise, how could they pay one million for each film?

By doing this, those random people on the market with varying levels of skills will not be able to talk nonsense.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan is very popular, and he would be paid hundreds of thousands of yuan for each promotional appearance.

Now if you sit there and talk for a long time, it’s only more than 100,000 US dollars.

After listening to what Yang Buting said, Warner felt that this deal was quite a good deal.

You know, the first Harry Potter film, "The Sorcerer's Stone", grossed more than 900 million US dollars worldwide, making it the box office champion of the year!

The second film also grossed over 800 million, but only ranked second in the year.

Because the first place that year was even more important.

Sony's first Toby's Spider-Man movie!
Zhang Yuan's heart was filled with gratitude.

A person of Lao Yang's level helped him resolve the crisis with just one sentence and at the same time gave him a boost.

Ordinary people would never be able to get this kind of opportunity to cooperate with large overseas film and television companies.

As expected, the entertainment industry still relies on connections.

This is exactly what he was thankful for.

Fortunately, that day Yuan Hepin mentioned that he should make a cameo appearance in "Huo Yuanjia", and he agreed generously, and insisted on making the cameo appearance for free without asking for any remuneration.

As the producer, Lao Yang is very satisfied with this.

If there wasn't this little bit of affection, would anyone speak up for you?
It's good to retreat three steps or put it aside.

If I refuse to make a guest appearance, or get too proud and ask Mr. Ba for an exorbitant price, it will piss off Old Yang.

If he continues to talk nonsense to Warner Bros. or takes the opportunity to cause trouble for himself, will he still have a chance to survive?
One thought is heaven, one thought is hell, that’s all.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. I appreciate it."

"Hey, it's just a small matter. It's all for the movie."

Yang Buting also did it conveniently.

As for publicity, anyone can do it. Besides, foreign films have high box office, so Chinese films can also make money. It is a win-win situation.

"I'll definitely invite you to dinner if I have the chance."

"There's a chance." Old Yang said casually.

Lao Yang is very busy, and given his status, he doesn't have time to have dinner alone with the young actors.

As for why he helped Zhang Yuan this time.

In addition to seeing that he is sensible and smart, the main reason is that he wants to build up his own "power".

The internal structure of China Film Group is not a monolithic entity.

How could everyone be united in such a fertile place? Of course, everyone fights for themselves. Only when there is profit will everyone sit at the table and eat together with a smile.

It is also very common to plant seeds everywhere and cultivate one's own power.

If you see someone with a promising future and a bright mind, give him some benefits.

I don’t know if that cloud will bring rain. What if he becomes the next Jackie Chan or Gong Li?

Then you would make a fortune.

It’s just like those big companies investing in emerging small companies everywhere. If they invest in a hundred and only one succeeds, they won’t lose money.

Zhang Yuan also knew what the other party was thinking.

"But I'm too small to stand in line." He smiled and put down his phone.

When talking about China Film Group Corporation now, Han Sanpin is still the boss. After all, he has a good background. His parents are both high-ranking officials in a province and his family is wealthy.

In the next ten years or so, Chinese film producers will have the final say.

Even after "retirement", he is still able to control China Film.

The most frightening thing in life is having no sense of obligation. When others give you a little benefit, you blindly take sides and step forward rashly, becoming the dog that bites others.

Many actors and stars have this problem when they become arrogant, which will eventually lead to their own downfall.

Zhang Yuan decided to play dumb and feed these big guys, so that they could benefit from each other.

dong dong dong...

Brother Qian and Sister Qian went back to preparing food and drinks, and he lay down on the recliner in the yard, performing Ge You's pose.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

"I'm coming." Brother Qian, wearing an apron, trotted over to open the door.

It was obvious that he treated this place as his own home, and Zhang Yuan was very happy to see this.

"what!"

But after opening the door, he was stunned.

He thought that every time Zhang Yuan came home, the person who would come to his house on time was usually the "heartthrob" Cheng Hao.

But today, when I opened the door, it was a young and beautiful stranger girl.

"Dandan, come in!"

The one here is Zhao Xinxin who plays Hong Lingbo.

Before, when they were on the crew, Zhang Yuan told her that she should follow him and be his personal assistant in the future.

So after the crew finished filming, he went to the school first, took back all the remaining items in the dormitory, and then came to the courtyard outside Pi Tiao Hutong according to the address given by Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan stood up and welcomed her in, then pointed to the east room which was filled with the other party's miscellaneous items. After the landlord sold the house to him, he moved all the things away, making it completely empty.

"You'll live there from now on."

"Go clean it up yourself."

The house has three rooms, east, west and north. Originally, Brother Qian lived in the north room because it was the largest.

But after he moved out, Zhang Yuan was too lazy to move, so he used the north room as a study, practice room and living room, and continued to live in the west room.

"Hey, Brother Zhang Yuan, I'll go right away." Zhao Xinxin nodded and walked into the house with brisk steps.

"Girl, let me get you a rag and a mop." Brother Qian shouted, then turned around and looked at him.

"You are so brave!"

"What do you mean?"

"Just let this girl live in your house. Aren't you afraid that your wife will scratch your face?" Brother Qian glanced at the east room and said, "At least go out and rent a small courtyard."

"Do you know that there is a beautiful girl in the golden house?"

"Yan Poxi still lives in the other courtyard, and Song Jiang didn't bring her home."

Zhang Yuan put his hand on Brother Qian's shoulder and said seriously, "Brother Qian, what image do you have of me?"

"Do I have to take action just because she's a pretty girl?"

"if not?"

Zhang Yuan: …

Damn, I’m really good at reading people!
"I won't discuss the misunderstandings and slanders against me with you. She is the assistant I hired and she will be following me from now on."

"By the way, Brother Qian, you are familiar with the area, please help her enroll in a driving school."

Zhang Yuan calculated that he would have to go out to film in a few days, which would take about a month.

This period of time is just right for my assistant to learn how to drive, so that I can have someone to be my driver in the future.

With an assistant, bodyguard and driver, Zhang Yuan plans to develop Zhao Xinxin's body to its limits.

"Okay." Seeing that he was serious, Brother Qian knew that he was not joking.

"By the way, I have an idea about the house. We are discussing it." Brother Qian added, "It is really hard to find one that meets your requirements."

"But luckily I found one, but the seller is still hesitant."

"Don't worry. I just happen to be broke recently. I'll save some money in a month or two and it will be just right for me to buy a house."

Brother Qian sighed.

Is it sensible to save millions to buy a house in just one or two months?

After hearing this, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Zhang Yuan’s current income comes from film remuneration, which is a small part, while endorsements and investment returns make up the bulk.

The dividends from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be credited to the account soon.

And after "Kung Fu" is taken off the shelves, my endorsement fees will increase again.

Also, the filming of "Drawing Sword", in which he invested several million, is about to be completed. When the film is broadcast and sold, he will be able to make a large sum of money.

There are also bills from catering companies, crosstalk clubs, and drama troupes that I haven't settled yet. If I collect all of them, it will be another huge amount.

He calculated his income and wondered whether he should invest in a few more properties in the capital, in addition to the courtyard house he asked Brother Qian to help him find.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside the yard.

This time, Cheng Hao is here. "A lot of companies are looking for you to be their spokesperson for commercials again."

"I've got all the information for you, take a look yourself." She slammed a stack of documents at him as she entered the room.

As he became more and more famous, Cheng Hao, who had been working as his agent, became increasingly busier.

"There are also people who contact me and want to film with you."

"You know, the highest salary you can get for a TV series is one million per episode. You can earn four million in just one month of filming."

Cheng Hao held his chin and watched beside him, his eyes full of joy.

The achievement is his, the happiness is hers.

"This is just to take advantage of my popularity."

“Most movies don’t work.”

"Making bad movies for money will only damage my commercial value." Zhang Yuan said as he flipped through advertising materials.

"Okay, okay, I know, that's why I didn't answer your call." The good sister tapped his forehead: "I'm making progress too, okay."

"Know not to damage your reputation for a small sum of money."

Brother Qian on the side sighed again.

Are these two human beings? They say millions is just a small amount of money.

Brother Qian was so worried that he took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and started smoking.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, I'm sorry. I broke the bed in the room." At this time, Zhao Xinxin, with his face covered in dirt and dust, ran out from the east room.

Ah!
Cheng Hao, who was originally gentle and bright, with a look of joy after a long separation, immediately raised her eyebrows.

"The bed fell apart..."

Seeing this, Brother Qian quickly moved away: "Huiming, I'll help you."

He turned around and slipped into the kitchen.

After he came to the kitchen, he didn't do any work. Instead, he stuck his head out of the window, pretending to join in the fun and eat melons.

"Come here, good sister, let me introduce you. This is a martial arts school student I met on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Her name is Zhao Xunxun."

"She will be my assistant later."

"Dandan, give your cell phone number to Sister Cheng Hao, so you can contact each other if you have any problems in the future."

"Hey." Zhao Xinxin didn't know why Cheng Hao, this beautiful and famous star, was here.

But it also shows that her relationship with her boss is not simple.

"No wonder he looks down on me..." She thought to herself, compared to such a beautiful and gorgeous woman, she was far inferior.

Cheng Hao still put on a generous smile and greeted the other party warmly, as enthusiastic as if he had met his own cousin.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, I'll go find some tools to repair the bed..."

"Go."

As soon as she left, Cheng Hao immediately changed his expression.

"Your assistant is young and pretty enough."

"Yes, they are much better looking than those ugly ones you introduced to me."

Cheng Hao: ...

Seeing that her previous little thoughts were exposed, she twisted her waist in anger.

She introduced an assistant to Zhang Yuan just like a rich lady looking for a nanny for her family, and she didn't want any young or pretty ones.

"What happened to the bed? Did you two break it together?"

"If I want to, I can not only break the bed, but also the sofa, chairs, and dining table. You know my ability." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Cheng Hao's cheeks turned red and she patted his shoulder unhappily.

"She's honest, kind, has good kung fu, good physical fitness, and looks good enough to be taken out." Zhang Yuan simply explained: "This is why I chose her."

"Besides, we've been filming together for a few months and have a relationship foundation. It's better than just finding a random stranger."

"The east room of this yard will be left to her from now on."

"I know." Seeing that he explained it so clearly and without any guilty expression, Cheng Hao felt relieved.

At the same time, she was also thinking that she had to have a good chat with this girl, give her some gifts, treat her to a meal, etc.

"Also, don't ask her to help you keep an eye on her under the pretext of having a good relationship with her." Zhang Yuan added immediately when he saw her looking towards the east room.

"Tsk!" Cheng Hao snorted coldly when his little trick was exposed by him.

I thought to myself, if you were only interested in being with me, why would I follow you?

Zhang Yuan thought that another reason why he chose Zhao Xinxin as his assistant was that this woman was so stubborn.

More loyal and not easy to "betray".

"Oh, right, there's a website called TOM. They held a Heroes Conference last year, where netizens voted for the four most famous actresses, the four most famous male stars, or something like that."

"It happened again this year, and we both made the list." Cheng Hao said happily.

"Being on the list doesn't mean winning a prize, so don't be happy so early." He thought for a moment.

Now is the early stage of the Internet age, and the power of the Internet is rising rapidly. It is a good thing to be on the list, and if you can win an award, it will further increase your popularity and fame.

This TOM is actually an Internet company from Hong Kong. Its homepage is about technology analysis and early big data analysis, so it is willing to do things like online voting, which is also in line with their business.

This company is actually owned by the Li family of Hong Kong Island.

The Li family is really not sensitive to the Internet market, otherwise they would not have cashed out and left the company one year after acquiring 20% ​​of Penguin's shares.

This family is essentially the speculators of the last century, they will go wherever there is money to be made, take advantage of it and then run away, making a fortune for themselves and leaving a mess behind.

One of the consequences of their actions was that they offended some big shots when they were making money in southern Fujian in their early years.

Compared with the Huo family, they have no political awareness or foresight at all.

"Even if you're just on the list, it means your popularity is much higher than before. I'm happy for you."

"You are already qualified to compete with those young first-line male stars." After saying that, she raised her arms, put them around Zhang Yuan's neck, and kissed him on the cheek.

Brother Qian, who was not far away, was very disappointed.

"Why didn't they fight?"

"Not only did they not fight, they also gnawed at each other."

"Isn't my brother a little too awesome..."

With Youqian here, we naturally enjoyed the meal tonight.

Zhang Yuan invited Zhao Xinxin, who was unfamiliar to everyone, to eat at the same table.

It even touched her a little.

After all, she is a Shandong woman, and she didn't expect that she would be able to sit at the table... and eat with the boss and the big star.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.

Zhao Xunxun did not sleep well that night because she couldn't fall asleep in her bed. When she got up in the middle of the night to practice boxing in the yard, she heard the noises of laughter and panting coming from the west room.

She returned to her room with a red face and shivered all night with her legs clamped under the quilt.

It wasn't like I was getting paid for nothing. Since I didn't get much sleep, I went out early to buy breakfast for my boss.

After returning to the yard, he saw Cheng Hao combing her hair in the yard wearing red silk pajamas.

"She is so beautiful," Zhao Xunxun felt a sense of inferiority that is unique to women when he saw her as radiant as dew in the morning glow.

"You're back. Put it down and let's eat." Cheng Hao hurriedly said, "Don't disturb Zhang Yuan. He's tired. Let him sleep a little longer."

Zhao Xunxun thought to herself, judging by the sound last night, my brother Zhang Yuan was tired, probably mainly because of you...

"I'll take you to the mall to buy some clothes and daily necessities. Women should take good care of themselves, okay?"

Although Zhang Yuan exposed her yesterday, Cheng Hao still wanted to "bribe" this assistant.

"Brother Zhang Yuan said that if you buy clothes and other things for me, I should ask him to reimburse me and then give you the money." Zhao Xinxin replied blankly.

Cheng Hao: ...

You are so good, Zhang Yuan, you have blocked the road for me in advance, right?
This damn man is too smart to be dealt with.

Cheng Hao was very angry and limped away with his back twisted.

When Zhao Xunxun saw her awkward walking posture, his face immediately turned red.

"It seems that not only Brother Zhang Yuan is tired, Sister Cheng Hao was also very tired last night."

The two women were drinking soy milk, eating fried dough sticks and chatting in the yard.

Zhao Xinxin quickly felt Cheng Hao's personal charm.

From life to performance, from study to work, there was nothing she couldn't talk about, and she was almost moved by Zhao Xinxin's concern.

Just when the two of them were talking about everything, a loud shout suddenly came from the west room.

"what!"

Not long after, Zhang Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the yard while putting on his clothes.

"Dandan, change into some formal clothes and get ready to go out with me."

"What's wrong? Where are you going? What's the hurry?" Cheng Hao stood up and helped him put on his sleeves and straighten his collar.

"Let's go to Guangde Building and Deyuan Society." Zhang Yuan grabbed the fried dough stick and took a bite.

"Someone over there is planning a rebellion!" (End of this chapter)
