I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 122 A mind-blowing movie! (Third update, please vote!)
"I'm sorry, we've already signed a strategic cooperation agreement with [Huaying International]..."

"Yes, I know that Tianxing Films is very powerful, and I know that too, but, I'm sorry, we previously signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huaying International, and all subsequent toy and merchandise licensing rights were given to Huaying International with priority authorization..."

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, we can't breach the contract. We really want to make money, but, Mr. Xu, as you know, we have no choice..."

"We're just a small film and television company; we're not as big as Tianyu Media or Huasheng Brothers..."

"Actually, we were very sincere before and we approached you, but you were all focused on 'King of the Monsters.' We couldn't even get a single screening, or even half a screening..."

"Mr. Xu, I hope you can understand me, we really have no other choice..."

"The sequel?"

"Sorry, we've also signed contracts with Huaying International for the subsequent films, at least for the Wuhun IP..."

"I know you can offer terms, but, Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry, we really can't..."

"Please leave!"

"..."

He has roamed the martial arts world for many years.

Xu Hongbing never dreamed that he would be stuck with a movie worth 500,000 yuan!

What surprised him even more was that he personally visited him, even adopting a very humble attitude, and offered what he thought were some pretty good preferential conditions.

But the young man with glasses maintained a smile throughout and refused any cooperation!

finally……

He stood up silently.

At this moment, he didn't say anything harsh, but instead held Zhou Yang's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, if you have any other ideas, you can contact us immediately. We are very sincere!"

"Yes, definitely, definitely!"

As he walked out of [Xuanshi Entertainment], he glanced at [Xuanshi Entertainment] with a complicated expression.

In fact, he should have known, he should have known long ago, that a penniless young man could cause such a commotion in just a few months...

How could someone like that be an ordinary person?

Oh shit!

At that moment, a feeling of frustration welled up inside him, and when he got into the car, he couldn't help but slap himself hard!

After this wave of development gave [Huaying International] a head start, unless they can wait for a big-budget movie like "King of the Monsters," otherwise...

You said that the "King of Monsters" merchandise will soon be released nationwide?
[Huaying International] They also have copyrights, so if you can release it, so can others!
What are your strengths?
....................................

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, but there's nothing we can do..."

"Mr. Yuan, as you know, we signed an agreement!"

"Sorry, we'll definitely cooperate next time!"

"..."

Since the release of "King of Beasts", Zhou Yang seems to have become very busy.

His phone is completely unreachable.

Even when I called him in the middle of the night, his phone was still busy.

Seeing Zhou Yang became extremely difficult. Several times, An Xiaoshi waited for Zhou Yang at the company, but couldn't see him even after waiting all day.

In the end, she had no choice but to leave the office.

On the 31th.

An Xiaoshi finally met Zhou Yang.

Looking at Zhou Yang after he finished his phone call with the person in charge of the theater chain.

Zhou Yang is now a hot commodity among major cinema chains across China!

The entire day was spent either visiting him in person, talking on the phone, or contacting Zhou Yang through staff at [Xuan Shi Entertainment]...

All sorts of people are trying to find Zhou Yang to discuss collaborations...

Despite being so popular with theaters, Zhou Yang suddenly shed his former arrogance and sharp edge, and instead became very humble, always speaking in a gentle, junior manner on the phone.

For a time, An Xiaoshi found it hard to connect the Zhou Yang in front of her with the arrogant guy he used to be!
As Zhou Yang hung up the phone, it rang again, seemingly signaling another round of busy work for him.

An Xiaoshi, sitting opposite him, felt increasingly complicated. For a moment, she suddenly remembered that morning and that evening when Zhou Yang leaned against his Audi A6.

If only then...

If I had given up on the so-called "Love Ferris Wheel," overruled objections to invite Zhou Yang to join the crew, and invested in every film Zhou Yang made, instead of lending him props or introducing him to other people, wouldn't I have succeeded by now?
but!
There are no ifs in this world, and no second chances.

"Mr. Zhou, are you done with your work?"

"I'm done with work... Never mind, Mr. An, what do you want to say..."

Zhou Yang looked at the constantly ringing phone and cell phone, finally shook his head, turned off his cell phone, and unplugged the phone line.

"The story framework and crew preparations for 'Love Rollercoaster' are almost complete, but the script..."

An Xiaoshi's eyes were complicated: "There are some lines in the script that I... I don't know how to say..."

She produced a set of lines that Zhou Yang had added to the script.

When I'm feeling down, I look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle so the tears won't fall.

I never learned to cry before, but now I'm often in tears.

When you're feeling down, crouch down and hug yourself.

Memories are exhausting, like the feeling of not being able to find the right position when you have insomnia.

……

Looking at the seemingly artistic but actually incredibly flamboyant lines in the script, An Xiaoshi's expression was slightly complicated. She glanced at Zhou Yang; every time she saw these newly added lines, An Xiaoshi felt goosebumps rise on her back…

Zhou Yang took the script.

After looking at the lines that An Xiaoshi had marked, he smiled and suddenly stared at An Xiaoshi very seriously: "Director An, have you ever been in a relationship?"

An Xiaoshi was taken aback.

She wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Yang's burning, even slightly affectionate and profound gaze, she felt inexplicably flustered and didn't dare to look at him: "No..."

“That’s right. You’ve never been in a relationship, so you’ve never been hurt by love. If you’ve never been hurt by love, you don’t know what that stinging feeling is like… You don’t even have the sensitive emotions of a young girl…” Zhou Yang looked at An Xiaoshi with a smile.

“But, these lines, I…” An Xiaoshi’s heart raced even more, especially as Zhou Yang got closer and closer, to the point where she could almost feel his even breathing. An Xiaoshi’s mind went completely blank.

"Believe me, don't change these awkward lines... There's always a kind of awkward line that will touch the hearts of some young girls, stirring up their youthful emotions... Our target customers are them... I even think some lines aren't unforgettable enough..." Zhou Yang looked at An Xiaoshi, whose face was getting redder and redder, and sat back down in his chair with a smile.

"Then, then I'll listen to you..." An Xiaoshi's mind was still blank, but she nodded as if possessed. However, for some reason, she dared not look up at Zhou Yang.

"Oh, right, you've already prepared the budget, right?"

"Yes!"

An Xiaoshi nodded!

An Xiaoshi!
You need to be more ambitious!

What's wrong with you?!
Zhou Yang just suddenly became rich!
Why are you suddenly so nervous? What are you trying to do? What are you thinking?

An Xiaoshi kept reminding herself, and finally regained some composure, looking at Zhou Yang with calm eyes.

However, perhaps because Zhou Yang has been too successful recently, even though he was sitting there calmly, he seemed to be surrounded by a halo!
An Xiaoshi handed over a budget.

Zhou Yang took the budget and glanced at it.

"The venue rental fee can be saved directly..."

When Zhou Yang saw the first page, he smiled and shook his head: "Our [Xuan Shi Entertainment] is planning to move to an office building recently. I've been there, and our office building just happens to meet the requirements... Mr. Li Dachun insists on lending us his office building, and he's even offering to rent it to us for free for two years. Ah, it's hard to refuse such a kind offer..."

Zhou Yang crossed out all the office space in the budget!

An Xiaoshi nodded: "For costumes and props, we plan to collaborate with the well-known suit brand [NuBak], and all the characters appearing in the show will probably wear [NuBak]..."

"Wait, no need for the [NuBak] suit, a domestic one will do. Hmm, the suit I'm wearing, [European Apparel], is fine..."

"Huh?" An Xiaoshi was taken aback: "Using a domestically made suit? Won't that..."

"Also, instead of taking the female lead to luxury stores to buy bags and such, let's change it to buying clothes... I remember that [European Apparel] is currently making a casual school uniform, and the price is reasonable..."

"Wait a minute, the male lead is incredibly wealthy, worth at least billions, and he's taking the female lead to buy this kind of domestically made suit? Wait, Mr. Zhou, you're not going to have a super-rich second-generation heir taking a female student to buy domestically made suits to show off his wealth, are you?" An Xiaoshi was shocked when she heard this!

"Yes!"

"Mr. Zhou, you...you may not understand the lives of the wealthy, actually..."

"No! It's not that I don't understand the lives of the wealthy, but rather, you don't understand the lives of ordinary girls!" Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes!

“I…” An Xiaoshi opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything.

"Also, Mr. An, I remember your family is in the department store business, right?"

“Yes…” An Xiaoshi nodded!
“Perfect timing. These odds and ends of bicycles, backpacks, shoulder bags, and all sorts of other things can be purchased using your household items…” Zhou Yang then drew up a series of budget items.

Watching the budget being crossed off piece by piece...

An Xiaoshi finally saw the luxury car!

"Mr. Zhou, I feel my Audi A6 still doesn't meet the requirements. I'm planning to rent one..."

"Director An, cut the entire budget for luxury cars and replace them all with domestically produced cars..."

What?! Even luxury cars are made in China?!

An Xiaoshi was dumbfounded.

As she watched as all the luxury cars used by the main characters were crossed out, her mind went blank once again!
She had never seen such a low-budget movie in her life!

This kind of movie!

Is there really a market for it?

Just as An Xiaoshi was dumbfounded.

There was a knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards...

Zhou Yang's newly hired assistant peeked out cautiously at him: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liu from [Qinzhou Auto] has been waiting outside for a long time. Would you like to meet him? He seems to want to discuss advertising cooperation with us..."

“Sure! Perfect, we can tailor-make a movie just for them [Qinzhou Automobile]…”

When I heard that sentence...

An Xiaoshi was completely stunned!

Then he looked down and saw Zhou Yang cross out the large hotel budgeted for in the movie from the budget sheet and replace it with the [A Liang Fast Food] brand...

She felt a ringing in her ears!
and many more!

The main character is a multi-billionaire boss!
Don't tell me!
Such a rich person!
No need to go to fancy hotels!

Instead, he takes the female lead to eat fast food, and he wants her to act like...

They looked extremely flattered and overwhelmed by the luxurious decor!

This……

This!
Damn it!

Is it reasonable?
Damn it!
Why……

She has a certain...
Does this movie feel like it's going to be a flop?
