Chapter 875 - Shocking
Chapter 875: Shocking
As Su Yang entered the mushroom house to film, Su Yang’s entourage also joined the production team. Among them was Li Zijun.
She put down all her work and focused on filming with the production team to get some progress in real time. She wanted to avoid Su Yang from saying anything inappropriate so that she could handle things easier.
Initially, when she heard Teacher He asking that question, she gave him a thumbs up in her heart. She felt that Teacher He was indeed a good person in the entertainment industry. He knew how to direct the topic to Su Yang and knew what topics to talk about on such shows.
However, when Su Yang said, “It’s a good thing you’re congratulating me now, because you might not be able to congratulate me in a few days’ time.” Li Zijun’s heart skipped a beat.
As one of Su Yang’s earliest employees, Li Zijun had a deep understanding of her boss’ ability to cause trouble.
When she heard that, Li Zijun felt as if a scene had appeared before her eyes, where Su Yang suddenly stood up with his hands on his waist and shouted at the sky proudly “Out of my way! I’m going to start being awesome now!”.
Li Zijun clenched her fists tightly. She hoped that Su Yang would not say anything that would shock the world. Otherwise, she would have to discuss with the production team if she wanted to remove this part. If that happened, it would be difficult for the program’s editing team.
In the end…
As expected, Su Yang did not “disappoint” her expectations. He smiled and said, “Because “Wolf Warriors 2” will be screening in a few days. “Wandering Planet” will no longer be number one in the history of film.”
With a “Crack”, Li Zijun’s heart broke.
“Thump” Teacher He’s hand slipped, and he almost dropped the tea jar in his hand.
“Bam, bam, bam” Some of the cameramen almost lost their balance, and the camera frame knocked against each other.
Everyone looked at Su Yang in shock.
Everyone’s strange behavior also made the other people in the mushroom house who were whispering to each other look over curiously. Peng Peng and Zifeng’s confused little eyes passed over, but they did not dare ask. They could only wait for the two adults to explain.
Teacher Huang stopped talking to Wu Feng and turned to ask curiously, “What’s the matter?”
Teacher He awkwardly held the tea vat and took a sip of tea before saying, “Er, nothing. It’s just that Mr. Su has just said that the box office for “Wolf Warriors 2” might exceed that of “Wandering Planet”.”
Teacher Huang was more tactful, so even though he was surprised, he still smiled and said, “That’s possible. After all, records are meant to be broken.”
As the two conversed, they finally understood what Su Yang had said. Zifeng and Peng Peng looked at each other in shock, and they could see the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Zifeng then asked Lin Jiali softly.
Perhaps because her voice was too soft, the others did not hear her. They only saw Lin Jiali spread her hands and say, “This is our boss’s character.”
After that, Lin Jiali added, “But, he seems to be very good at reading things, and has never failed.”
Everyone heard what Lin Jiali said. Although they were surprised, they still found it hard to believe.
A movie with more than five billion yuan in box office earnings had already caused an uproar in the film industry. Many people in the industry said that it was the first year of the revival of a locally produced movie, the groundbreaking era of a sci-fi blockbuster. In the end, another movie was released!
‘This isn’t the North American market, but a domestic one.
‘How big was the entire country’s film industry’s market last year?
’44 billion yuan!
‘This year, two movies is all it took to make up a quarter of that quota?
‘The chances of this happening is literally 0!’
Seeing that no one believed him, Su Yang took a sip of tea and said gently, “Everyone knows how rich I am. If I’m doing this all for fun, why would I make a movie?
“I really believe that “Wolf Warriors 2” will surpass “Wandering Planet” and become number one in movie history. It might even surpass 6 billion yuan.”
After saying that, he revealed another piece of news. “After all, I did use the investment share of “Wandering Planet” to exchange for “Wolf Warriors 2”.
“If “Wolf Warriors 2” can’t even surpass the box office of “Wandering Planet”, then wouldn’t my deal end up being a loss?”
‘Su Yang actually used the investment share of “Wandering Planet” to exchange for “Wolf Warriors 2”?’
Hearing that, the group turned their curious gazes to Wu Feng.
‘This is “Wandering Planet” we’re talking about. It’s a movie with a box office of 5.3 billion yuan! A literal beast!
‘Yet, Wu Feng actually managed to get a share of it in investment shares!
‘How much money has he earned?!’
Wu Feng felt a little embarrassed to be suddenly stared at by so many people. He quickly laughed and said, “Come on, Brother Su, are you feeling frustrated from losing? Are you trying to make me return the shares I have because you feel that you’re losing out?
“Well, sorry to say this, but no matter how much you force me, I won’t return it.”
The joke livened up the atmosphere.
However, the image of Su Yang holding a cup of water and gently saying, “If it’s all just for fun, why would I make a movie?” and “I really believe that “Wolf Warriors 2″ will become the number one box office movie. It won’t even be a problem for it to surpass six billion yuan.” was deeply engraved in their minds…
Previously, when Su Yang came, everyone guessed that with Su Yang’s status and wealth, he was probably very arrogant and haughty. However, when they saw him, they felt that he was like a boy next door.
This made everyone forget his identity.
However, it was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized that this was a real tycoon: gentle on the outside, but emitting a strong confidence from within…
Although Su Yang’s topic strayed off pretty far, no matter what, he managed to shift the topic to “Wolf Warriors 2”. Teacher Huang also took the opportunity to ask about the story and filming of “Wolf Warriors 2”.
These were the contents that he had planned before coming to the show, so Wu Feng answered them with a smile.
While they were chatting, Lin Jiali told them some interesting things about Su Yang and Wu Feng.
There were three of them. One was the main lead, one was the second male lead, and the other was a minor character. The chemistry was pretty good, and there were a lot of jokes, which made the show more effective.
For the rest of the day, the few of them stayed in the hut to eat, chat, and play games. They watched Peng Peng climb up and down and tour the village with the family from the mushroom house.
Under normal circumstances, the program would usually arrange for guests to do some farm work as a way to experience life. However, Su Yang’s status was too high, so this part was removed during the program’s discussion.
However, they did not expect that Su Yang would bring it up even though they had removed it.
He even said that he had been in the mushroom house for so long, so he should help out with something.
Therefore, after discussing with the production team and Li Zijun, Teacher Huang and the rest found some simple farm work for Su Yang and the rest to do.
Unexpectedly, Su Yang was really fast and good at farming. It was as if he had been doing this for years. Everyone was stunned.
While they were chatting, Teacher Huang and Teacher He asked Su Yang the same question.
At that moment, everyone realized that Su Yang was born in a small village and had been helping out with farm work since he was young. Even when he returned home for the New Year last year, Su Yang had been eating grains at home.
When they heard this, the production team and the four resident MCs were all surprised.
It was also at this moment that the program team and the four resident MCs felt that Su Yang’s image had become more realistic.
The next day at noon, before leaving, Su Yang personally cooked for everyone. He cooked a meal that looked, smelled, and tasted good. Because of his Bronze Ability, Su Yang’s cooking standards were not low. In fact, the food even looked and tasted good.
When they were eating, Zifeng said cutely that if Su Yang went to open a restaurant, he would be popular.
On the other hand, Teacher He sighed with emotion. To be able to eat a meal personally prepared by a tycoon was too surreal.
Teacher Huang even knocked Peng Peng’s head and told him to learn from Su Yang. Look at Su Yang, he really knew everything.
Peng Peng wanted to cry…
He felt like he had met someone else’s child, the kind that he would never surpass…
After the episode of cataloging was over, all the guests and hosts were overjoyed. Whether it was the production crew or the regular mc, they all remembered Su Yang, this young tycoon who did not put on airs and always had a warm smile on his face. When he worked, he worked harder than anyone else.
Li Zijun was finally relieved.
With her excellent publicity and planning skills, she could easily tell that once this episode was broadcasted, Su Yang’s humble, gentle, and self-made image as a tycoon would rise.
To the corporation, this was an invisible wealth that could not be exchanged for billions!
Many people thought that rich people did not need to manage themselves. However, they actually needed to do so even more because they were the company’s most important advertisement.
For example, didn’t Liu Dong, Luo Yonghao, Dong Mingzhu, and Lei Jun all take this route?
This was no longer the era of the rich and powerful, but an era where they had to step down from their pedestal and build their affinity.
Furthermore, Su Yang was not only promoting himself but also the movie. If he could increase the movie’s box office earnings by tens of millions of yuan or even hundreds of millions of yuan, it would be a huge profit.
Ask those rich people. If they attended an event where the company could earn an extra 100 million, would they participate?
No one would complain about having too little money…
Hence, Li Zijun felt that the program had completely met her expectations.
‘Well… Except for what Su Yang said at the start.’
When she thought about what Su Yang said at the start, Li Zijun felt that she should communicate with the production team to delete that part and not broadcast it. Otherwise, if Su Yang’s prediction failed, there would be a huge backlash.
Even the persona that Su Yang had created in this episode had turned into that of a fool. To be able to make a fortune, one had to rely on luck…
Fortunately, before Su Yang went on the show, the Jiadian Group had signed an agreement with the production team. The Jiadian Group had the final approval rights. The show could only be broadcasted if they were satisfied.
Normal producers would not sign such harsh terms.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. Su Yang’s status was too high and he was too popular now. Hence, for the sake of the viewership ratings, the production team could only sign the contract. Of course, there was another reason why they agreed so readily. The station head had personally approved it.
Even his boss had spoken, so how could the production team not listen…
…
After the show, Su Yang, Wu Feng, and the rest returned to Shanghai.
Wu Feng stayed at Su Yang’s house for two days and praised Su Yang’s luxurious villa every day. Su Yang was so scared that he thought that Wu Feng was eyeing his villa, so he chased Wu Feng away overnight.
After Wu Feng left, Li Zijun went to look for Su Yang and asked him about the editing of the program. Su Yang wanted to edit it personally since he was the best editor in the country. However, Li Zijun rejected him.
Li Zijun thought that Su Yang was participating in the show to create a persona for the company and promote the movie.
However, if he could even survive the editing, then he would really be degrading himself.
Su Yang agreed to her advice.
However, when they talked about deleting the 6 billion yuan ticket sales announcement, Su Yang rejected it.
He said, “Why did you delete it? I really think I can do it.”
Li Zijun broke out in cold sweat. “Mr. Su, this is too risky. If something goes wrong, there will be big trouble.”
Su Yang replied, “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong.”
He had asked Little Hus to smell it before. The fragrance had not changed, and it had increased slightly. It could indeed reach six billion yuan.
Li Zijun was speechless
“Mr. Su, nothing is 100% guarateed in this world.”
As Su Yang flipped through his book, he answered without even raising his head, “Well, I’m telling you now that it’s going to be 100% guaranteed.”
Li Zijun was speechless…
After all, the company belonged to Su Yang. Hence, as her subordinate, since Su Yang had already made his decision, Li Zijun could only follow Su Yang’s wishes even if she was extremely worried.
Initially, she had wanted to play the video to weaken the show. However, Su Yang stopped her from thinking that it was the only way to salvage the situation. He asked her to tell the show that they could use this to promote the show. If anything happened, the Jiadian Group would be responsible.
Li Zijun was completely speechless. She could only leave the villa dejectedly.
Su Yang, who had been reading, looked up at her and smiled.
With the [Eye of Origins] and the [Truth Or Explosion], Li Zijun had no secrets.
Of course, Su Yang knew that Li Zijun did all these for the sake of the company and him. After all, according to the normal probability, his words would definitely be a slap in the face.
If it wasn’t for Little Hus, Su Yang probably wouldn’t have dared to say such words that would easily embarrass him.
But he had no choice. He was so stubborn when he had a hack.
Su Yang could understand why Li Zijun wanted to salvage the situation. What he wanted was a three-star talent, not a nobody.
With his own professional judgment and persistence, reducing losses when it was impossible was a quality and ability that a talent should have.
However, no matter how talented a person was, they could only admit defeat before him…
…
With Su Yang’s reminder, even if Li Zijun was extremely worried, she had no choice but to carry it out.
Very soon, with the joint editing and post-production of the two companies, the latest issue of “Life In The Mushroom House” was released. It directly replaced the original schedule and broadcasted this episode.
In terms of coordination, the production crew of “Mushroom House” had also edited parts of the original episode together, making the whole plot look smoother.
Soon, the news of Su Yang, Wu Feng, and Lin Jiali visiting the “Mushroom House” spreaded across the internet.
All of a sudden, the discussions online blew up.
