Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 422 At Least Three Billion Dollars!
The final scene, in which Tony Stark discovers he has been poisoned, tests Zhou Yang's acting skills.

Once ready, Zhou Yang quickly got into character, facing the green screen in front of him with a serious expression.

The staff immediately turned on the sound effects, and a mechanical voice announced: "Toxic blood: 24%!"

Jarvis's voice came through the speakers: "It seems that if you continue to use the Iron Man armor, the poisoning will accelerate! The other palladium energy plate is completely depleted and needs to be replaced immediately."

Zhou Yang, playing Tony Stark, remained silent, opened his clothes, and removed the energy reactor.

He replaced the rusty palladium energy plate with a brand new one.

Jarvis's voice rang out again: "We've tried all the elements, and none can replace palladium. You're pressed for time; keeping you alive will be fatal."

Tony Stark's expression grew even more somber. He walked to the mirror and stared at the darkened veins, which looked terrifying, like a spider web.

The staff were shocked to see this and were very worried about Tony Stark.

“Chili’s here, tell her…” Jarvis suddenly reminded her.

Tony Stark immediately composed himself, raised his glass, and calmly awaited Pepper's arrival.

As soon as Pepper Potts entered, she immediately began to complain loudly to Tony Stark: "Why did you donate the entire modern art collection to the Boy Scouts? And what kind of art exhibition did you put on?"

Tony Stark remained calm in the face of Pepper's questioning, then suddenly opened up and said:
"I have a brilliant idea, why don't you take over the company!"

Little Chili was momentarily confused and instinctively asked, "What does this mean?"

“I want you to be the CEO of Stark Industries!” Tony Stark said, emphasizing each word.

Pepper Potts looked bewildered and stared at Tony Stark strangely. "Are you drunk again?"

"I only drank one glass of green leaf juice."

After saying this, Tony Stark grabbed Pepper's arm and solemnly announced, "Pepper, I am now officially promoting you to CEO of Stark Industries! Effective immediately!"

Pepper Potts stared wide-eyed at Tony Stark, dumbfounded.

Tony Stark gently bit his lip. "That's it!" He knew his days were numbered, so he decided to entrust Stark Industries to the person he trusted most, Pepper Potts, whom he considered family.

"Click! Perfect!"

After Guo Fan finished speaking with a "cut," he loudly announced, "I hereby solemnly declare that filming for Iron Man 2 is now complete!"

Upon hearing the news, the staff and actors on site were overjoyed, but many also felt a sense of regret.

The collaboration on these two films gradually brought the entire crew together like a big family, and the sudden decision to part ways inevitably brought a sense of reluctance.

"Sigh, this filming wrapped up too quickly. I don't know when we'll be able to work together again."

"Yes, the Iron Man crew is the most harmonious team I've ever seen. It's a group of like-minded people, and it's really enjoyable to work together."

"Me too, I really can't bear to part with it..."

"Haha, don't worry, as long as Iron Man 2 is a box office success, there will definitely be a sequel!"

"It will definitely be a box office hit. With the success of the first film, Iron Man 2 will gross at least $20 billion!"

"Song Zhe, who are you underestimating? Brother Yang's movie will gross at least $25 billion!"

"Chen Lufan, don't be so conservative. Just how much has your wife drained from you? Let me tell you, at least 30 billion US dollars!"

Listening to the staff's discussion, Zhou Yang wiped the sweat from his brow. Starting at $30 billion? Did they think box office revenue was worthless?
This put him under tremendous pressure!

After a short rest, everyone took a group photo, which Zhou Yang then shared on social media.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: Exciting news! Filming for Iron Man 2 has wrapped and it will be released soon! Stay tuned!! #Photo#"

"My God! That speed is incredible!"

"That's right. Only two months have passed, and Zhou Yang's efficiency is truly remarkable. He is a well-deserved expert in filming."

"Wow! Scarlett Johansson! She's my favorite foreign actress!!"

Wow! That figure is so sexy!

"I'm really looking forward to it! Scarlett Johansson is also joining the cast, this lineup is so exciting!!"

Wow, my two favorite goddesses and gods are together!

"Can't wait for the movie to be released!"

"..."

After attending a banquet on set that evening, Zhou Yang returned to his hotel to rest. After washing up, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

"That arrives so fast?"

Today is the day Scarlett Johansson is visiting, and Zhou Yang opens the door with a big smile, ready to welcome this wave of attention.

But the moment the door opened, Zhou Yang stopped in surprise.

Outdoors, Scarlett Johansson stood side by side with a tall woman, who was none other than Gal Gadot.

The two ladies smiled and looked intently at Zhou Yang.

"How did you two end up here?" Zhou Yang asked, puzzled. Their sudden appearance must have been due to some accident.
Gal Gadot smiled mischievously, "Don't worry, we'll be going our separate ways tomorrow. I'm here to serve you today."

At this moment, Zhou Yang and the other two were all dressed in light silk pajamas, with the surrounding scenery in full view.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yang took their hands and gave them a sincere hug, instantly dispelling the fatigue of a day of filming.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of love.

In a man's wandering life, a woman is like a strong lighthouse, illuminating the path forward and giving him the courage and strength to move forward.

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room, waking the three sleeping souls.

Zhou Yang personally saw the two off as they embarked on their journey to the United States, while he himself flew back to the bustling city.

Upon landing, Zhou Yang went straight to the company without delay, beginning his new day's work journey.

Before the office chairs had even warmed up, Chen Tianzhen couldn't wait to report on the company's recent achievements: "Xiao Yang, in the past two months we have launched three highly anticipated TV series, a group of new talents have emerged, and several blockbusters have grossed over 100 million yuan, bringing the company a huge profit of 300 million yuan."

Zhou Yang looked slightly surprised and quickly interrupted: "Give me a detailed introduction to the emerging new talents, as well as the names of the TV series and movies."

Chen Tianzhen nodded slightly and continued, "The highly anticipated TV series are 'The Joy of Youth,' 'The Pursuit of Emotion,' and 'The Inheritance of Family Affection'; while the films include 'The Elephant Pilgrimage,' 'In Search of the East,' and 'Go Forward.' Newcomers such as Lin Feng, Li Fei, and Zhang Yu have emerged."

Zhou Yang nodded. He had heard of these people before; they were currently riding high on their popularity.
