Chapter 627 - He So Talented



Chapter 627: He So Talented

Guo Fan smiled when he heard how familiar Su Yang was with Gui Xiaoying and said, “Mr. Su, are you very close with Xiaoying? She has had a temper ever since she was young. If the two of you weren’t close, she’d probably have flipped on the spot.”

Su Yang smiled awkwardly.

‘Close eh…’

Su Yang summoned the system and looked at Guo Xiaoying.

Guo Xiaoying (Friendship Point): 11 / 100 (Acquaintance)

‘En. It looks quite… Good.’

Hence, Su Yang changed the topic and started to talk about official matters.

He said, “Let’s not talk about her. Let’s talk about the movie. Now that I know how long you’ve been preparing for this, then… Have you gotten the copyrights to the novel?”

At this point, Guo Fan’s expression fell. He said awkwardly, “No.”

Su Yang nodded. He had already guessed that based on the fragrance that Little Hus had smelled earlier.

Normally, a project belonged to whoever it belongs to. There should already be a rough estimate on the success or failure of the project. At times like those, its fragrances would be normal.

However, there was also a possibility that the project could be done by someone else, but It would be impossible to succeed. Only a specific person could make it successful.

Thus, there would be a situation where both parties would benefit together if it was successful, but share the losses should it fail. That was why the fragrance would be divided into different levels.

From the looks of it, Guo Fan was the key to the success of this large sci-fi movie. That was why Guo Fan had the fragrance of the project on him.

Then, since he was the key to the movie’s success and the fragrance had different levels, the only possibility was that Guo Fan wanted to participate in this project, but this project was not in his hands yet.

That was why Su Yang asked that question.

‘I suppose I was right then.

‘But, I’m not worried. After all, projects are meant to earn money. As long as I can earn money, I’ll just buy it and let him film it!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang asked, “So, which company does this novel belong to? Or who does it belong to?”

Guo Fan looked even more embarrassed. “National Films.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘National Films? Why is it in their hands?

National Films… also known as the National Films Group. Any company that had the name “National” in it within the country were all terrifying existences, National Films was no exception.

National Films was founded in the 1980s. At that time, various countries in the Ministry of Culture’s corresponding departments called for business restructuring, asset consolidation and reformation of property rights. Therefore, eight countries’ film and television units merged together to form this new film and television company.

However, even if the system had been changed, National Films was still a unit with the word “National” in it. This was especially so when the eight units were combined together, which greatly increased its power and influence on the entertainment industry.

Therefore, for National Films, they did not just make movies to earn money. Most of the time, they involved the nations’ or political missions.

So, they would not budge in the face of money…

Su Yang suddenly felt a toothache.

‘This is going to be difficult.’

Seeing the conflicted expression on Su Yang’s face, Guo Fan was afraid that Su Yang would think that he was bluffing. He quickly explained, “Mr. Su, don’t be anxious first. Here’s the situation, although the copyright to ‘Wandering Planet’ belongs to National Films, there are some disagreements internally. One party wants to do it on their own while the other party is inclined to collaborate with companies in the industry.”

“According to the information that I’ve received, the people at National Films have tried several companies to see if they could cooperate. However, this kind of theme is not easy to come up with. There is no precedent of success and the amount of investment capital required is extremely high, so no one is willing to take over.”

“Also, I used to bring my own scripts, props and manuscripts to them. They were very interested. They did have the idea to want me to be their director, but… They were very hesitant. Because I’ve never been a director before.”

“This is also the reason why I shot “The Girl At The Neighbouring Desk” last year. I want to prove myself through this movie.”

Guo Fan said, “This movie is going to be released in two months! I believe we can move them.”

Guo Fan’s tone was filled with confidence when he said that.

On the other hand, Su Yang’s [Space Traversing Eyes] kept popping up notifications. [Confident], [Honest].

With Little Hus’s nose and the judgment of this Silver Ability, Su Yang believed what Guo Fan said.

Especially since the scent on his body already carried the scent of the project. This meant that his analysis was not wrong. National Films had probably been truly moved by him and that was why Guo Fan had that scent.

However, just like he said, no one would dare entrust such a big project to someone who had never even been a director before, so National Films was still observing him.

‘If that’s the case, things are going to be much easier.’

Su Yang pondered for a while and said, “Director Guo, if it’s convenient for you, can you show me a sample of your movie? I want to know more about your situation.”

Su Yang actually believed him, but… He could not tell him that he believed him right off the bat. Hence, he had to go through the “process”.

Guo Fan did not hesitate. “No problem! I’ll show you the rough cut of the mother film. But… Mr. Su, this cannot be leaked or filmed.”

Su Yang waved his hand. “I understand.”

After they were done chatting, the two of them left the coffee shop. Su Yang drove Guo Fan back to his hotel and started watching the movie, “The Girl At The Neighbouring Desk”.

Even though it was not a completed version, with Su Yang’s outstanding post-production skills, he could easily see the brilliance of the film.

After watching the entire movie, Su Yang looked at Guo Fan. “How much did you invest in this movie?”

Guo Fan raised two fingers. “25 million yuan.”

Little Hus also reminded Su Yang in the virtual space at the right time. “Su Yang, according to the fragrance, the box office should be around 400 million yuan.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘A huge haul!

‘The profit of this project is six times the investment!’

When Su Yang looked at Guo Fan again, his eyes were already sparkling like stars. ‘This guy is definitely a talent!’

Guo Fan felt a little uncomfortable under Su Yang’s gaze. He asked cautiously, “Mr… Mr. Su?”

Su Yang came back to his senses and cleared his throat. Then, he continued acting. “Director Guo, this movie of yours isn’t bad, I feel that it will be very popular. Then, can you show me the script and project proposal for “Wandering Planet”?”

If it were any other project, Guo Fan would most likely not have given the script and proposal so easily. However, this project belonged to the country and Guo Fan had already shown these to the management of National Films. Hence, he gave them to Su Yang without any worries.

Su Yang took Guo Fan’s information and flipped through it while patiently waiting for Little Hus’s judgment.

Both Su Yang and Little Hus had been together for almost a year, so they had a tacit understanding. Therefore, Little Hus quickly gave Su Yang an accurate answer. “Su Yang! There’s nothing wrong with the fragrance worth 1.3 billion yuan! It’s coming from this project!”

Su Yang finally felt relieved.

Actually, he had guessed before that perhaps Guo Fan had several projects on him and that the fragrance of 1.3 billion yuan was coming from other projects.

Su Yang was finally relieved.

Therefore, after flipping through all the plans, he reached out his hand. “Count me in for “Wandering Planet. To be able to contribute such a great deal for the sci-fi industry in our country, even opening the door for our country’s sci-fi movie and creating a new era for our country’s sci-fi… I will be very honored, Director Guo.”

Guo Fan did not expect Su Yang to give him such a high evaluation. He reached out to hold Su Yang’s hand excitedly. “Thank you! Thank you!”

Su Yang instructed, “You can now rest easy and prepare from now on. I’ll look for professionals over the next few days to start the preliminary planning. Recruit anyone you need and go ahead and make the props you need to. I’ll talk to National Films!”

Guo Fan said in surprise, “Are we going to prepare now? Isn’t it too early?”

Su Yang waved his hand. “No, the sooner the better! If you need anything, even capital, just look for me! I’ll provide them all! Our company will also be completely responsible for the special effects!”

Guo Fan hesitated. “What if National Films doesn’t agree?”

Su Yang said generously, “Don’t worry! That won’t happen! There’s not going to be a problem if I handle it personally!”

Guo Fan looked at Su Yang’s confident expression and his expression gradually turned firm. “Okay! Mr. Su! I will definitely not let you down!”

After leaving Guo Fan’s office, Su Yang called Guo Xiaoying and told her that she had reached an agreement with her uncle. He also asked her what happened just now.

However, Guo Xiaoying said absentmindedly that Xue Ya was feeling unwell and she was accompanying her.

‘Guo Xiaoying’s a weird but smart girl, so I don’t know whether I should believe her or not.’ Hence, he threw the matter to the back of his head.

As he drove toward the villa, Su Yang chatted with Little Deeny and Little Hus while driving.

Little Deeny asked, “Master, what do you plan to do with National Films?”

Little Hus’s hoarse voice could be heard. “What else?! If they don’t agree, we’ll kill them!”

Su Yang broke out in cold sweat and almost stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road.

‘Who did you learn that from? Killing people just because of a disagreement!

‘This Little Hus has really gone too far this time!’

Su Yang rebuked without hesitation, “Kill, kill, kill! All you know is to kill! Can’t you use your brain? We’re businessmen, not gangsters!”

Little Hus was confused.

“What’s a gangster?”

Su Yang took a look at the rearview mirror and said, “It’s fine. I don’t want to explain. But I have some ideas about National Films.”

“Do you remember when I first started school, I obtained an item called [Unrestricted Driver’s License]?”

“This special item can activate a person’s [Affinity Points] and it’s not restricted to males or females.”

“I don’t plan to go around seducing people, so I’ve decided to give this month’s quota to National Films’ management.”

“After I activate their [Affinity Value] and increase its values, coupled with my [Verbal Cannon] and my money, I believe it won’t be a problem to get the copyrights from them.”

Little Deeny and Little Hus were enlightened.

Then Little Hus asked, “Then here comes the question. How do we contact the management of National Films?”

Su Yang said indifferently, “Wu Feng.”

“Wu Feng was able to deal with the military to film a movie and speed up the approval process. This would have been impossible without connections to the upper echelons of the entertainment industry.”

“All the movies and television-related stuff in the country can’t get past National Films, so he definitely knows someone from there.”

“When I get back, I’ll give him a call to ask. Then…”

Before Su Yang could finish his sentence, someone called him.

Su Yang stopped what he was about to say when he heard the ringtone. Little Deeny reminded him, “Master, it’s Zhao Licheng.”

‘Zhao Licheng? Why is he looking for me?’

As Su Yang drove, he got Little Deeny to pick up the phone. “Hello, Licheng. What’s the matter?”

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Licheng said, “Mr. Su, my wife has been missing me these past few days. So, I would like to go home tonight, is that okay?”

Zhao Licheng had been tidying up the business at Jiadian E-Commerce Company over the past few days. The entire company had become more united and their business started to expand. Therefore, Su Yang was very satisfied with his capabilities.

Therefore, he did not reject his request. “Okay, you can go back, but be careful.”

“Actually, if it’s convenient, you can go to a hotel or move to another home, which would be better. Otherwise, it won’t be good for your wife’s reputation.”

Zhao Licheng quickly said, “Okay. We’ll plan our move over the next few days.”

Su Yang nodded. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and added, “Oh, right. When you go back tonight, remember to talk to your wife about buying shares with 500 million yuan. You mentioned it before, but there was no news after that.”
