Chapter 674: If Your Movie Can Earn Five Billion Yuan, Mine Would Be Able To Earn Six Billion Yuan Then!
However, Su Yang immediately felt that something was amiss. ‘I haven’t got any Bronze Ability that’s related to cell phones though!
‘Could it be [Verbal Cannon]?
‘But that’s only related to talking and has got nothing to do with making phone calls… Plus, I didn’t use that ability just now!
‘Apart from those two questions, what makes me even more confused is… Bronze Abilities are capable of improving through self learning? Why haven’t I encountered this before? What’s going on here?’
Amidst his confusion, Su Yang clicked on the system to take a look. Then, he realized that the notification was referring to him, but… Wei Lin.
Su Yang stole a glance at the living room. Wu Feng and the rest were still conversing intensely, so they did not notice him. Hence, he sneaked into the garage and closed the door. Then, he summoned Wei Lin to ask him about it.
In the end, he realized that Wei Lin had been studying hard for his mother and for the sake of her being able to live a good life, forgetting to eat and sleep in the meantime. Then, while he was studying… He levelled up and now had [Intermediate Stock Trading Ability].
‘So, Bronze Abilities can really be improved through learning?’
Su Yang was dumbfounded. ‘I thought that it can only be improved through adding points!
‘After all, I have more than 10 Bronze Abilities and they have not improved after a year and a half. So, I didn’t expect Wei Lin to be able to improve in just a week.
‘Could this be… Because of his “Super Strong” potential?
‘I’m starting to get jealous of this talent of his…’
However, at the thought that Wei Lin was his subordinate, Su Yang could not bring himself to actually be jealous. After all, if his subordinate was strong, then he himself would be strong. Hence, there was no need to be so calculative of who it belonged to since he was his own subordinate.
‘What’s mine… Is still mine…’
After understanding Wei Lin’s situation, Su Yang encouraged him to keep on working harder and continue to improve himself.
However, Wei Lin said that he felt like he had already finished learning all the knowledge in the books, so there was no way for him to improve anymore.
Therefore, the only way for him to improve was through actually trading stocks.
‘Actually trading stocks eh…’
Su Yang pondered for a moment before asking Little Deeny to transfer 10 million yuan from his Hong Kong account as capital for Wei Lin.
‘Anyway, the money is already there in my Hong Kong stock trading account, I guess I’ll let him have a shot. Who knows, he might surprise me!’
After making all the arrangements for Wei Lin to try trading stocks for real to improve his abilities, Su Yang returned to the living room.
At that moment, Wu Feng and Guo Fan seemed to have just reached an agreement from how they were chatting happily.
Su Yang walked over and asked, “How is it going? Have you guys come to a conclusion?”
Wu Feng raised his head and said with a smile, “Yes, it’s not a big problem. Director Guo’s standard is very high, all I had to do was remind him of some of the problems he has and he’s managed to piece it all together.”
However, Guo Fan said, “Director Wu gave me a lot of good advice and I benefited a lot from it. I feel like I need to go back and talk to the scriptwriter about these problems and see how I can handle and rectify these problems.”
Su Yang nodded.
The reason he had called Wu Feng over was to help Guo Fan get on top of his form faster. ‘From the looks of it, it seems I’ve achieved my objective.
Therefore, after instructing Guo Fan to give himself a copy of the edited script, Su Yang proceeded to discuss official matters. “Brother Wu, Director Guo. I’ve called National Films just now and some of the big shots there want their names included in our movie.”
Then, Su Yang told the two of them the result of his discussion with Mu Lei.
When Wu Feng and Guo Fan heard this, they looked at each other. Then, Wu Feng said, “Brother Su, I’m just a guest star, so I have no objections.”
Guo Fan said, “Mr. Su, I’ll leave the decision of this matter to you.”
Su Yang nodded and explained his considerations.
After that, he said, “To be honest, with so many big shots wanting to participate in our movie, I’ve just remembered something. Would the both of you like to be more involved in this movie?”
Guo Fan was the first to respond. “Mr. Su, I’m actually very confident in our movie, so I wanted to invest in it from the start. But… I don’t have money.”
Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he pondered for a moment before saying, “Brother Su, are you willing to give up your share?”
Su Yang looked at him. “Brother Wu, are you also optimistic about this movie?”
Wu Feng smiled and said, “Actually, when I heard that you were going to shoot a sci-fi film, I really didn’t think much of it and only thought of helping you. But after chatting with Director Guo and looking at your demo and some parts of the design, I’m really interested in this project now.
“To be honest, I’m not as optimistic about this movie as you think I am. But, I hope that we’re able to produce some masterpieces locally.
“Our locally produced movies have been developing for decades, but there hasn’t been a sci-fi movie so far, which is embarrassing. So, we need a pioneer to pave this road into our market, hence I’m willing to invest in this movie.
“But… I don’t think you’d be willing to give up your share in this investment given how confident you are, would you?”
Su Yang nodded. “I’m putting a lot on the line and have invested so much in it. So, of course, I don’t want to give it away.”
Seeing that Wu Feng and Guo Fan were a little disappointed, Su Yang smiled and said, “But… It’s a different story for the both of you. You’re both my friends, my brothers. So, of course we should earn some money together if there’s an opportunity. If it’s the both of you, I wouldn’t hog all of the money for myself.”
Su Yang continued, “However, I’ve invested about five00 million yuan into this movie of mine, so how much are you able to come up with? How much percentage of this would you be able to take up?”
Then, after Guo Fan let out a bitter laugh and kept quiet, Su Yang knew that Guo Fan was really broke.
Meanwhile, Wu Feng did some calculations and also gave a bitter laugh. “I’ve already invested all my money on “Wolf Warriors”. In fact, I haven’t even managed to redeem my house yet.”

Su Yang smiled. “In that case, let’s do it this way. The fees for your director, producer and guest appearances will be converted into cash investments.

“Also, I’m not going to be biased. Each of you will have a 1% share. Is that okay?”
‘Based on the investment of five00 million yuan, a 1% share would be equivalent to five million yuan.
‘Although Wu Feng’s latest movie, “Wolf Warriors”, is very popular, his previous movie had failed after all. Furthermore, he’s only making a guest appearance this time, so five million yuan is already considered a high price.
‘As for Guo Fan, although he’s both the director, producer and founder of this project, he’s not famous within the industry. In fact, he hasn’t even released his first movie yet, so five million yuan is an extremely high price.’
Therefore, the both of them were satisfied with this price and were even a little overjoyed.
After deciding on the share, Su Yang shook his head and sighed. “Sigh, as expected, money is the root of all evil in relationships. All I did was chat with you guys for a while and I’ve lost tens of millions of yuan.”
Guo Fan did not quite understand Su Yang’s funny character. He even took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Su, you only gave us a 10 million yuan share, yet why is it tens of millions of yuan?”
Su Yang wagged his finger. “You guys have no idea how much money this movie will earn. I estimate that it will receive at least four to five billion yuan at the box office. So, if you do some calculations, each of you would be able to receive close to ten million yuan. In that case, wouldn’t I be losing tens of millions of yuan then?”
Wu Feng was amused by Su Yang as he jokingly gave Su Yang a punch on the shoulder. “How are you able to estimate the box office of a movie like that? In that case, I could say that you’ve taken advantage of me as well.”
Guo Fan was even more confused now. “Director Wu, why do you say that?”
Wu Feng smiled and said, “I made a bet with Mr. Su here previously and lost 10% of share in “Wolf Warriors 2″ to him.”
He imitated Su Yang’s tone and said, “Right now, I’m predicting that “Wolf Warriors 2″ will have a box office five to six billion yuan. Do you think he’s taking advantage of me now then?”
Su Yang and Guo Fan burst into laughter and said, “I’ve invested so much in “Wandering Planet”, so it’s still possible for my movie to have four to five billion yuan at the box office. But, for you to claim that your action movie is going to be able to receive a box office of five to six billion yuan… You’re definitely kidding me.”
Wu Feng, on the other hand, retaliated mercilessly. “The box office earnings in the history of movies is only two billion yuan right now, yet you’re claiming to be able to receive four to five billion yuan with “Wandering Planet”… I think you’re the one who’s kidding me.”
“Hahaha.”
“Haha.”
Both Su Yang and Guo Fan laughed.
The three of them did not take those words seriously and only took it as banter between brothers.
‘I’m the only one who knows that… “Wandering Planet” will have a box office potential of four to five billion yuan.
‘As for “Wolf Warriors 2″… Well, Wu Feng’s definitely joking about that one.
‘I can see that people from the Imperial Capital are rather naughty.’
After joking around, Su Yang “cooked” a meal for the two of them.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.
Well, as men, they would want to have alcohol when they were eating and would end up chatting again while they’re having a drink.
At the dining table, Wu Feng raised his glass and toasted Su Yang. “Brother Su, I thank you on behalf of China’s film industry. Only you would dare to invest in such a large sci-fi film. If not for you, who knows how long it would take to see a film of this level in China.”
Then, he lamented, “The only thing is that I don’t have any money now. If my investments from “Wolf Warriors” were to have been paid to me, I would have definitely invested more money into this movie. Regardless of whether I’m able to earn from this or not, the main reason I would do this is to support our country’s movies.”
As he spoke, he was afraid that the two of them would think that he was just saying something pleasant for the fun of it, so he turned to Su Yang and Guo Fan and said, “I’m not joking. There’s a possibility that we might run out of budget for this sci-fi movie as filming goes on. So, if you really run out of money, come look for me and I’ll think of a way to solve the issue!”
Su Yang purposely said, “Why would I look for you when you haven’t got the money?”
Wu Feng patted his chest and said, “I’ve still got another house in the Imperial Capital.”
Instantly, the three of them burst out laughing again.
After the meal, the three of them ended up drinking a little too much.
Initially, Su Yang wanted them to stay at his place, but they refused.
This was because Guo Fan had to rush back to the set and continue working the next day. On the other hand, Wu Feng was not used to staying at other people’s houses and insisted on returning to his hotel. However, Su Yang suspected that Wu Feng had a fierce wife at home and would check up on him, so he was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding.
Hence, Su Yang called for two taxis to send them back.
After watching the taillights of the two taxis disappear around the corner, Su Yang returned to the villa and recorded the main points of their conversation.
While they were eating, the three of them distributed their roles.
Other than the three of them taking up roles as producers, Su Yang would continue to be the supervisor and second line producer of the movie as per usual, while Wu Feng had changed from taking a guest role to becoming the main lead, thus increasing the number of scenes he had by a lot.
On the other hand, Wu Feng’s sister would represent him as the fourth line producer.
Other than being a director, Guo Fan had also recommended his trusted subordinate, who was also the scriptwriter for this movie, to be the third line producer. However, since the first line producer (National Film’s big boss) and the second line producer (Su Yang) were both nominal, the scriptwriter would also represent Guo Fan to oversee most of the production team’s work and help Guo Fan with the logistics.
Other than the three of them, since Guo Fan and Wu Feng both had a share of the movie, their company had automatically become the production company.
In this way, with Su Yang and National Films, “Wandering Planet” had four producers, which was considered a normal number in the industry.
After the basic framework of “Wandering Planet” was completed, the movie continued filming smoothly over the next few days.
Su Yang took some time to ask for the revised script from Guo Fan. After he did that, he realized that it was much smoother now that Guo Fan had rectified the overly pretentious parts.
Then, he had Little Hus sniff at the revised script. After confirming that the aroma had increased, he was relieved.
Over the next few days, other than reading books and earning more special effects servers, Su Yang would focus on the amount of times his environmental video was broadcasted for his Platinum mission.
Finally… On the tenth day after that environmental video got through Shanghai TV’s preliminary audition, the third round of Su Yang’s Platinum Mission was… Completed.
