Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 229 An Invitation with an Exorbitant Salary!
“By the way, I can’t be the only one doing the promotion,” Xu Shanzheng said, then turned to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang stepped onto the stage: "This time, Yi Xi and I are promoting our new drama, 'The Longest Day in Chang'an.' I play Zhang Xiaojing, a handsome but rebellious young man from Wannian County, while Yi Xi plays Li Bi, a genius boy. The story revolves around our counter-terrorism efforts in Chang'an."

Counter-terrorism!?
Everyone was confused by Zhou Yang's words.

"How come there are no terrorists again? I may not have read many books, but don't lie to me," Yue Yunpeng said, pouting.

Zhou Yang touched his nose: "There were no glasses in the Tang Dynasty, so where would a Tang Dynasty poet have worn glasses?"

puff……

Fatty Di next to her immediately burst into laughter.

Zhou Yang was very humorous and actually revealed the answer to the riddle he had just given.

However, Zhou Yang's words also piqued the interest of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"An unconventional handsome guy? In Chang'an? And fighting terrorism? This combination looks interesting."

"I've made a note of 'The Longest Day in Chang'an,' I'll watch it when it airs."

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of subject matter; it's really interesting."

After a period of promotion, this episode of "Go Fighting!" is about to end.

The moment of final farewell arrived, and Zhou Yang and the other members of Go Fighting! began to say goodbye to each other.

Fatty Di looked at Zhou Yang, tears welling up in her eyes. Zhou Yang chuckled and said, "What, are you so reluctant to part with me?"

Fat Di nodded, looking reluctant to part.

After spending a day with Zhou Yang, Fatty Di gradually felt reluctant to leave him.

Zhou Yang patted Fatty Di on the head and comforted her, "We'll meet again. There will be many more opportunities in the future."

A moment later, Zhou Yang and the other two members got into the vehicle prepared by the production team and left the recording site.

Fat Di watched the car disappear from sight, secretly feeling reluctant to part with it.

"Oh, you're so reluctant to let her go? You're still watching her leave."

"Yes, we've known each other for so long, and we've never even exchanged such glances."

"Hehe, watch out, a woman can turn into a tigress when she loses her man."

"Stop talking! Or I'll beat you up!"

"Run! The tigress has gone berserk without her man!"

"Hmph, I'll fight you to the death!"

……

inside the carriage.

Xu Shanzheng sat in the passenger seat, while Zhou Yang and Yi Xi sat in the back.

All three of them have their own homes in Shanghai, so they can go back there on their way.

"Zhou Yang, Erwei recommended you to star in 'Dying to Survive'. Are you interested?" Xu Shanzheng suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, I even turned down director Zhang Yimou's 'The Great Wall' in order to star in 'Dying to Survive'."

Xu Shanzheng suddenly realized and said, "So it was you who angered Director Zhang? But I didn't expect it was because of the movie 'Dying to Survive'."

Xu Shanzheng was somewhat moved. Few people in the entertainment industry had the courage to offend Zhang Yimou in order to participate in "Dying to Survive".

"By the way, I have two roles here, one is Lü Shouyi, and the other is Huang Mao. You can choose one." Xu Shanzheng immediately gave Zhou Yang the two most important supporting roles to choose from.

Lu Shouyi? Huang Mao?

Zhou Yang frowned and began to think.

Both characters have a lot of potential for development, and he is very interested in both of them.

Making a choice among them is indeed a difficult decision. Xu Shanzheng handed a script to Zhou Yang, allowing him to choose his own role.

Zhou Yang dared to reject Zhang Jimou for the opportunity to star in "Dying to Survive," and Xu Shanzheng wouldn't be stingy either, after all, what will he do in the entertainment industry in the future?

At this moment, Zhou Yang was very conflicted. He liked both characters and even considered playing both roles himself.

However, he knew that if he said it, Xu Shanzheng would definitely think he was crazy.

The difference between Huang Mao and Lü Shouyi is too great; one person cannot play two roles, so one must choose only one.

"Of the two roles, Lü Shouyi seems to be more challenging," Zhou Yang thought to himself.

After thinking it over, Zhou Yang directly told Xu Shanzheng his choice.

“Brother Zheng, I want to play the role of Lü Shouyi.”

"Lu Shouyi?" Xu Shanzheng was somewhat surprised; this role was very challenging.

"Zhou Yang, to play this role well, you need to lose weight quickly to portray the character's frailty after falling ill. Are you confident?"

“No problem.” Zhou Yang said with a smile, “Brother Zheng, don’t worry, I’m not a new actor, I’m a professional.”

"By the way, Zhou Yang, due to the sensitive nature of the plot, the investment in this film isn't very large, so your salary might be a bit lower than the market rate, around two million," Xu Shanzheng reminded him somewhat apologetically.

“Brother Zheng, money is not a problem. The reason I chose to participate is because the script is good, not because of the money,” Zhou Yang answered frankly.

Of course, he didn't say the last thing: once the box office and word-of-mouth results came out, the money would naturally roll into his pocket.

Zhou Yang's words deeply moved Xu Shanzheng.

"Thank you very much, Zhou Yang. I will be waiting for you at Hengdian World Studios in a week."

"no problem."

After confirming the collaboration, they were both very happy and chatted and laughed all the way.

After several conversations with Zhou Yang, Xu Shanzheng discovered that this young man was remarkable, and that some of his professional knowledge even surpassed his own.

In many ways, Zhou Yang's views have benefited him greatly and answered many of his questions.

Yi Xi was filled with admiration and could only listen attentively to the exchange between these two industry giants throughout the entire process, occasionally using her phone to record their insightful views on archetypes and acting.

After returning home, Zhou Yang immediately called Chen Tianzhen to tell him that he had decided to take on the role in "Dying to Survive".

Chen Tianzhen specifically inquired about the salary and learned that it was only two million. Chen Tianzhen was almost driven crazy with anger and secretly called Zhou Yangzhen a great philanthropist in the entertainment industry who specializes in charity.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to rest, the phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Yang answered the phone.

"Zhou Yang, I am the director of 'Go Fighting!', and I hope you can become a regular guest on 'Go Fighting!'."

"The director of 'Go Fighting!'?" Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised, however, he was not interested in participating in variety shows all the time.

"Director, I'm sorry, but right now I just want to be a good actor and I'm not interested in participating in variety shows," Zhou Yang politely declined.

However, the other party did not give up.

"Fifty million!"

"Zhou Yang, as long as you participate in the remaining five episodes, we will give you a reward of 50 million."

What the hell!

Zhou Yang was taken aback. The total earnings from the five phases were 50 million, with each phase yielding 10 million.

He can earn ten million yuan a day by recording programs, which is equivalent to five times his salary in the movie "Dying to Survive".

"No wonder celebrities love participating in variety shows; it's so easy to make money." Zhou Yang finally understood.
