Actor: Thank you.

After a heavy drinking session yesterday, I should have been in a daze until noon, and then I should have combined two meals into one.

But I was so excited at night that I couldn't fall asleep until 3 a.m., and I woke up again before 7 a.m.

Even after just a few hours, I kept having dreams.

Zhang Yuan dreamed that he did a double dive from a high platform and landed in a large pool filled with US dollars.

Oh dear, how tacky!

How vulgar!

How could I have such a mundane dream?

Hey.

Despite not having slept for more than a few hours, I am still full of energy.

No wonder those super-rich people are so energetic.

Anyone would be excited to make a fortune every day they wake up.

On the contrary, if you wake up every day to endless work like a beast of burden, no one would have the energy to keep up.

However, the reason why rich people are energetic is not only because they have something to strive for, but also because their food, drink and other necessities are extraordinary.

You're still arranging your meals, while others spend a million dollars a day on brain-boosting injections.

The common brain-boosting injection contains piracetam, also known as "brain rehabilitation" in Chinese, which can accelerate the repair of damaged brain nerves.

This stuff is covered by medical insurance, and a small bottle only costs a few yuan.

That's for poor people. Can someone who earns a million a day afford this?

He probably used something like BDNF protease, which can be extracted from live animals.

Zhang Yuan was very suspicious that these top-tier tycoons were not using extracts from "ordinary animals".

Fortunately, life is always fair.

He ate his breakfast slowly, rested for a while, drank some tea, and then practiced a set of boxing moves.

I need to practice Wing Chun.

I'll be filming "Ip Man 2" soon, which will be hard work.

Kung Fu is like opera; if you don't practice for a day, you'll know it; if you don't practice for three days, the audience will know it.

I haven't practiced Wing Chun for a while, so I need to get back into it.

He handed over the negotiations with the game company to Yang Siwei, and after resting, he had a conference call with her.

"Heh, they're even forming groups?"

The game company from Taiwan wants to have a detailed discussion with John Woo, saying that the renowned director can provide them with a lot of material and inspiration.

“Reply to them that they have no problem getting materials and inspiration; I can organize Director Wu to communicate with them.”

"I will reimburse your travel and meal expenses."

"But all contract and copyright issues have to be discussed with us; there's no room for negotiation."

"What should we do if they block us?" the chubby woman replied bluntly.

"Without Butcher Zhang, we wouldn't be able to eat pigs with hair on."

“There are plenty of game companies outside, dozens or even hundreds of them in mainland China alone, both legitimate and illegitimate.”

"Just contact the Taiwanese side and let them know that we are also in discussions with other game companies."

"I'll do the rest."

"Don't be afraid of the negotiations falling apart. If the other party is rude, we won't be rude either. I'll take full responsibility for any problems that arise."

Hearing this, Yang Siwei felt more confident and boldly turned on his microphone, ready to exchange insults with the other party.

Zhang Yuan wasn't bluffing; he contacted Boss Gu directly.

This person is now a celebrity in the internet industry, and given his previous experience working at Sohu, many people in the industry know him.

"Sure, online games are quite popular lately, and combining them with film and television works is one possible approach."

"I do know a few friends who work in the game industry; I can introduce you to them."

Boss Gu was clearly in a good mood, after all, he had accomplished something important.

"That's good, thank you... regarding the investment."

"I am organizing a shareholders' meeting and will make an announcement soon."

He said he was announcing it, not discussing it; that's the power of absolute control.

Of course, Mr. Gu would still maintain a very respectable demeanor while engaging in business negotiations.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan gave him a good reason to invite him to join the ranks of shareholders: the copyrights of those works.

"iPartment 2" will be streamed online by Deyuan Press in the next two years.

There are also two other programs: "If You Are the One" and the upcoming "China's Got Talent".

Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" had not yet been filmed, Gu Yongqiang was not particularly interested in Qing Dynasty dramas, and Zhang Yuan did not strongly recommend it.

It only costs a few dollars to sell now, but once it becomes a huge hit after airing, the online copyright fees will be astronomical!
Mr. Gu, on the other hand, planned to teach his former employer, Zhang Chaoyang, a lesson by buying the copyright to "If You Are the One" and then filing a complaint against Sohu Video.

Who told you to team up with other companies to target me before, showing no consideration for our old friendship?

Zhang Yuan felt comfortable after hearing this!

Look!

Gu Yongqiang also kept a record of his revenge.

Everything I did was by learning from successful people!

Repay with precious jade, give with a peach.

He kept his word and immediately began handling the investment matters, so he couldn't let him down and had to help by adding more investment!
"Mr. Gu, you mentioned it to me when we were having dinner a few days ago."

"Youku itself also plans to produce a series of original short films."

“I think I can offer some help in this matter.”

“No need, we already have several sponsors in mind,” Gu Yongqiang replied.

"No, I'm not talking about sponsors. You're better at finding funding than I am."

"What I can do is what I'm good at."

"I think if we're going to do it, we should do it bigger and better."

"I can contact China Film Group and try to turn your platform project into a new support project for emerging talents in the film and television industry."

"Moreover, China Film Group already has a support program for emerging directors, so maybe they can select a few to be included."

"Give the project a bigger and better name."

"Then, I brought Ning Hao over and had him serve as the chief producer, providing technical support for these small projects."

"Oh, that's great!" Boss Gu was very pleased. See, this is where it comes in handy!
After each party did what they could and reached a preliminary agreement, they went their separate ways to get to work.

Zhang Yuan contacted Lao Han, who had no objections. He had been training new talent all along, and China Film Group had a special fund every year to broadcast some of them.

It can even help with approval and award applications.

This money is just sitting there every year, but most people have only heard of it and never seen it. In the end, it's the people with connections who use it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Gu quickly replied with information about the game company.

NetEase, Giant Interactive, Shanda... Zhang Yuan glanced at the email messages and fell into a long silence.

The silence speaks!
What the hell!

When this guy makes a move, he targets these giants.

That company from Taiwan is nothing!

People at different social levels come into contact with completely different people.

After calming down a bit, Zhang Yuan realized that this was not feasible.

These are good studios, but they might not be interested in "Reign of Assassins".

Even if these companies were to choose, they would have to find the biggest and most well-known IP developers.

But it may not work out. That doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to them. At least we can use their influence to intimidate the companies on the other side of Taiwan.

I spent the whole day making contacts, and by the time I finally got to rest, it was already dark.

I was just about to grab a bite to eat and rest when the courier delivered a bunch of documents.

According to Lefeng.com's financial statements and contracts, Li Jing has officially welcomed him to become a shareholder of the company.

While having dinner, I flipped through the channels and happened to see a report about the Cannes Film Festival.

The most popular item was Fan Bingbing's bright yellow dragon robe battle suit.

This one outfit has been imitated countless times, but never surpassed!

Of all the red carpet actresses of later generations, how many could compare to Fan Bingbing at that time?

Within days, this photo of him in the dragon robe went viral in major magazines and online forums, which can be considered a kind of unparalleled elegance.

It also greatly enhanced Fan Bingbing's fashion influence.

This is a good thing!

I flipped through a bunch of documents I hadn't looked at, including a business plan for a cosmetics brand.

The factory has completed its re-registration and restructuring, and Fanmei Co., Ltd. has also completed its registration.

The next step is to redesign the product and promote it in conjunction with online sales through Lefeng.com and offline stores currently being selected in Beijing.

With Fan Bingbing in her dragon robe as a backing, this project clearly has a bright future.

New documents have also been sent from Yuehua Entertainment, announcing that Han Geng has returned to China and officially signed with Yuehua Entertainment, becoming a pillar of the company.

Zhang Yuan specifically called Du Hua, saying that if he had the opportunity to meet Han Geng in the future, he would invite him to dinner to keep in touch.

If there are suitable film and television resources, I will also introduce them.

He was so confident, but the person he was talking about was even more famous than he imagined.

“Film crews have already approached us,” Du Hua said with a smile.

"It's still a project from the Emei factory."

"By the way, I'll send you a copy of the script."

"If you're interested, you can also act in it; consider it helping to promote Han Geng."

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment.

He wasn't particularly interested in Han Geng as a person, but he wouldn't ignore anyone of economic value.

Even if they don't respect people, they will respect money.

"Okay, just email me directly, and I'll take a look."

However, the other party sent it over in just two hours, saving the trouble of sending the script by express courier, which would take several days to get from Hunan to the capital.

When Zhang Yuan opened it, he almost deleted it immediately.

The film is called "The Great Magician". It was produced by Emei Film Studio and distributed by China Film Group.

They also enlisted Andrew Morgan, Bruce Lee's early partner, for overseas distribution, creating a huge buzz.

Then I looked at the director...

Haha!

Zhang Yuan was practically spitting at the computer screen.

I have the utmost contempt for those who fawn over foreigners while belittling their own culture.

This person has someone backing him up, and he's also involved with the female lead of "My Fair Princess." Both of them were once leaders in the entertainment industry within the Alibaba Group.

That person was in charge of film and television, while he was in charge of music.

The end result was that both were ruined.

It's one thing to praise North America, but it really was once a beacon of the world.

But publicly praising India on a TV show is unacceptable to many.

If someone actually believes him and goes there to play, that would be a huge disaster, especially for women, since lizards everywhere have to walk with their legs tucked between their legs.

There was no need to read any more content. As soon as he saw that the director was Zhang Yuan, he immediately passed on the project, refusing to go no matter how much money was offered.

"I remember this movie wasn't very good either; it probably lost money at the box office."

"And it was the first time Andrew Morgan had ever lost money in his life, leaving the old man completely dumbfounded."

This drama can be said to be a leader in traffic-driven promotion, targeting the entire fan base of the two male leads, Wu Chun and Han Geng, during its promotion.

The result is obvious: fans alone cannot support the box office.

He replied directly to Du Hua that he wasn't interested.

Let high-efficiency pine go as far away as possible, don't come near me, I find it dirty, and I'm allergic to ugliness.

As for Han Geng, Zhang Yuan did not intend to stop him from acting in this kind of play.

They're already making a living off online traffic, what more could they ask for?

I just want to earn more money so that Du Hua can give me a bonus at the end of the year.

Anyway, he turns down dozens of scripts a year these days without any psychological pressure.

After practicing at home with his assistant for a few days and regaining his form, he received a call from Stephen Chow.

And this person directly demanded an exorbitant amount from him… (End of Chapter)
