Chapter 307 The Wandering Earth Director's Invitation?
Although Chen Tianzhen spoke bluntly, she was absolutely certain that Chinese actors who wanted to make a name for themselves in Hollywood usually needed to play villainous roles first.

"I don't mind playing villains!" Zhou Yang said calmly, "but I won't take on roles that belittle Chinese people just for money!"

If getting into Hollywood requires taking on this kind of role, he would rather never go to Hollywood.

“But you’ve missed your chance to break into Hollywood!” Chen Tianzhen said helplessly, unable to understand Zhou Yang’s agitation.

Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes and said uncompromisingly, "I don't need anyone's charity; I want to make my way into Hollywood through my own efforts!"

Chen Tianzhen looked at Zhou Yang with some surprise. He seemed to see the moment when Zhou Yang decided to leave Rolling Stone and start his own business. His appreciation and recognition for Zhou Yang arose spontaneously.

"Is he right?" Chen Tianzhen began to doubt her own thoughts.

The next day, Zhou Yang opened Weibo and clicked on the trending topics list, but the news at the top of the list almost petrified him.

[Great news! Promising newcomer Wang Erbo has received an invitation from Hollywood to star in "Dragon Fist"!]

The comment section below was filled with cheers and blessings from Wang Erbo's fans.

"Congratulations, brother, on becoming the first actor of the younger generation to receive an invitation to a Hollywood film!"

"My brother is only 24 years old and has already achieved heights that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives. His future is limitless."

"Big brother is amazing!!!"

"Wang Erbo is the pride of China! And the pride of Asia!"

Are you familiar with the only young Asian actor to have entered Hollywood and played a supporting role?

"..."

Zhou Yang's lips curled up slightly. This Wang Erbo was a newcomer who entered the entertainment industry along with Kun Kun.

Zhou Yang was speechless. This person was incredibly stupid; they had even bought trending topics.

If someone with a purpose reveals the problems behind the character Fu Man, this idiot is doomed.

At the same time, Zhou Yang gave Lao Hu and Zhu Yawen a red envelope reward of five million yuan each.

The outstanding success of "The Warlords" owes much to Hu Ge and Zhu Yawen.

The two were overjoyed to receive the red envelopes and posted pictures on Weibo.

"#Old Hu: Today is truly a wonderful day. Thank you, Boss Zhou @Actor Zhou Yang, for the generous red envelope of 500 million! Love you, muah!#"

"#Zhu Yawen: @Actor Zhou Yang, thank you so much, Jay Chou, for the 500 million yuan red envelope! To be honest, I've never received such a huge red envelope before! Five million! Boss, you're so generous. Next time, just give me 499 million.#"

"Holy crap, Zhou Yang is incredibly generous, it's shocking! Giving away ten million yuan like that, he's practically a tycoon!"

Wow! Brother Yang is so rich! I could never earn that much money in my entire life!

"A lifetime? I couldn't earn that much even in ten lifetimes!"

"Haha, Zhu Yawen is so funny. Losing 10,000 is nothing."

"I wish I had such a good friend!"

"The popularity of 'The Warlords' is also due to the efforts of two people, and Zhou Yang did a very good job."

"..."

At this moment, Zhou Yang, who has been the subject of much discussion among netizens, is sitting in the office with Chen Tianzhen, selecting scripts.

Zhou Yang's desk was covered with scripts, numbering in the thousands.

These scripts were sent to Zhou Yang's company by various directors, hoping to obtain investment from Zhou Yang.

However, Zhou Yang and Chen Tianzhen spent a lot of time but couldn't find a script that satisfied them. Just then, Zhou Yang's phone rang. He picked it up and glanced at it; it was Xu Shanzheng calling him.

Zhou Yang hurriedly answered the phone:
"Hey, Zheng-ge, why are you calling all of a sudden today?"

"Hey, I'm usually afraid of bothering you when you're busy, right? Let's go out for dinner tonight, I'll introduce you to a friend."

"Okay, since Brother Zheng said so, how could I not come? Haha."

"..."

That evening, Zhou Yang brought Pang Di to the hotel that Xu Shanzheng had arranged to meet.

Upon arriving here, Zhou Yang discovered that besides Xu Shanzheng and his wife Tao Hong, there was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Upon seeing Dilraba next to Zhou Yang, Xu Shanzheng's eyes widened, and he gave her a thumbs-up, exclaiming dramatically:
"Zhou Yang, you're amazing! You won over Dilraba Dilmurat without making a sound. That's incredible!"

Fat Di blushed slightly and quickly greeted them, "Hello, Brother Zheng, hello, Sister Hong."

Tao Hong patted Xu Shanzheng on the back and said with a laugh, "What do you mean by 'taken down'? This is a free love relationship!"

Zhou Yang smiled and chimed in, "Sister-in-law is right, Brother Zheng, you should learn from her!"

Xu Shanzheng's expression changed, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's talk about serious matters. This is Guo Fan, a very talented director. He has a very good script!"

Hearing this, Xu Shanzheng leaned closer and said earnestly, "We need your investment of fifty million!"

Upon hearing the name Guo Fan, Zhou Yang finally remembered who this middle-aged man was—wasn't he the director of "The Wandering Earth"?!

Guo Fan smiled and nodded to Zhou Yang, saying, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Mr. Zhou?
Zhou Yang's lips twitched.

Surprisingly, he was addressed as "Mr.", and the scent of capitalism was finally beginning to seep in.

However, let it penetrate even more thoroughly!
Although Zhou Yang was pleased, he still firmly refused.

"Brother Fan, you're older than me, so please just call me Zhou Yang. I don't feel comfortable calling you boss."

Guo Fan handed Zhou Yang a script, telling him it was the science fiction film "The Wandering Earth," which he was preparing to shoot, adapted from Liu Cixin's novel.

They have already secured 360 million yuan in investment, but still need 50 million yuan.

Zhou Yang glanced through the script and then decided to invest 50 million yuan.

Guo Fan was overjoyed and speechless with happiness; it had come too suddenly!
"Zhou Yang, thank you so much!"

Xu Shanzheng was also very happy and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Guo Fan for finding an investor, and congratulations to Zhou Yang for investing in a great project. Let's have a drink to celebrate!"

Fat Di obediently poured Zhou Yang a glass of wine, and then poured one for herself as well.

The group drank it all in one gulp, and Fatty Di's face immediately turned bright red.

Zhou Yang then began discussing some specific details of the film with Guo Fan.

Halfway through the drinks, apart from Zhou Yang, Guo Fan and Xu Shanzheng were already slightly tipsy.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang stared at Guo Fan and asked, "Old Guo, I really like the character Liu Peiqiang. Can you play him for me?"

what? !

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, Guo Fan immediately sobered up and shook his head hastily: "No! You're too young!"

Indeed, Liu Peiqiang was designed to be a middle-aged man approaching forty, and Zhou Yang was not suitable to play this role.
