Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 239 You finish your performance and I take the stage! Zhang Yang's plot is a deadly one

"We'll do this, and then"

"You arranged for someone to ask deliberately, and also sent a group of trolls to stir up trouble." Yu Zhen's sinister voice came: "The more popular Lost in Thailand is, the higher the box office is, and the greater the backlash to Zhang Yang will be."

Du Chun and the others all had smiles on their faces, as if they had seen the scene of Zhang Yang climbing up a high place and falling heavily.

Li Xiaolu looked at Jia Naian as if he was an idiot, and said, "Are you happy being used as a gun?"

Jia Nai'an's expression froze, and he frowned slightly before asking, "Director Yu, we will do all these things, what about you?"

They are not Yu Zhen's soldiers who will happily do things just because he gives them an idea.

When dealing with Yin Xiaotian, he was still harming others for his own benefit, stepping on the other party to gain fame and divide up resources.

But dealing with Zhang Yang would be purely detrimental to others and not beneficial to themselves, and would even result in loss of money and energy. For the time being, they have no conflict of interest with Zhang Yang.

If it weren't for jealousy and hatred, they wouldn't have done this.

"Of course I have more important things to do." Yu Zhen pushed up his glasses, his eyes gleaming with a sharpness. "Whether you can suppress Zhang Yang by doing this, I will definitely be able to do what I am going to do next."

"He has offended me so much, it is impossible for him to take advantage of the situation!"

Jia Nai secretly wanted to ask him what he planned to do, but Yu Zhen simply hung up the phone.

"Don't you believe Yu Zhen, and don't you believe me?" Du Chun saw no sound on the phone, and immediately said, "How about this, I'll arrange the interview, and Naian, you ask Xiaolu to borrow someone else's hand to buy the water army, and the cost will be shared by everyone, just like buying a bag for your girlfriend."

After Du Chun said this, everyone stopped talking and agreed.

At the same time, Zhang Yang, who was sitting in the business car, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight from lying on Li Yitong's legs, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yang, were you woken up by the shaking?"

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Li Yitong spoke softly, her beautiful eyes shining, looking at Zhang Yang as if she could draw a line.

"No, that's enough. I need to think about something." Zhang Yang reached out and hugged Li Yitong in his arms.

Nothing can make a man enter a fighting state more easily than hugging a sweet and soft girl.

"Do you think anyone is jealous of me?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.

"Of course." Li Yitong replied immediately: "If the final box office is 1 billion, the investors can get 340 million, and you can get nearly 70 million."

"Investing 6 million and getting a return of 70 million, it's just a movie, who wouldn't be jealous?"

"I'm jealous~"

Li Yitong looked straight at Zhang Yang.

He is worthy of being her idol, and the man she is now successfully relying on, not to mention his excellent external conditions, but he can also achieve such success.

After being with a man like this, how could I possibly still be interested in those outside?
No one who is rich is as handsome as Zhang Yang. There is almost no one who is more handsome than Zhang Yang, and no one is richer and more capable than him.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Zhang Yang shook his head slowly. "Not many people know that I invested in Lost in Thailand. I even signed a confidentiality agreement with Wang Changtian and Xu Shanzheng. Unless I say so myself, they can't leak it."

"At present, the public thinks that the only investor of this film is Enlight Media, and they don't know that I am also an investor. Chen Hai is one of the two producers of this film."

"Ah?" Li Yitong was a little surprised: "Why do you want to hide it?"

Isn’t the successful investment in “Lost in Thailand” a very impressive record?

If Chenhai wants to succeed, a successful track record of investing in movies is very important.

This represents vision and also represents the embodiment of personal connections, allowing newcomers to notice it immediately.

"I'm not hiding it, I'm just hiding it temporarily." Zhang Yang lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "Before the movie is released, I will tell you. If I don't say that I want to go fishing, you don't need to know the details."

Li Yitong pouted, but she was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. She blinked and said, "So when you ask if people will be jealous, are you referring to your guest appearance in this movie?"

"A small part of the reason." Zhang Yang's eyes flickered: "After all, this movie is just a cameo, it can't be counted on my resume. If I force it together, people will say I'm just piggybacking."

"Look at Pang Bing. Before Lost in Thailand became popular, she was promoted for her guest appearance, but now she doesn't even buy press releases because she's afraid of being accused of piggybacking."

"But I"

Li Yitong blinked her eyes: "But you followed the whole road show, and you were also in the recording of Happy Camp. You were treated like a leading actor, and you never lacked exposure. This is not what a guest actor should have!"

If Zhang Yang hadn't said it, Li Yitong wouldn't have realized it.

The reason why she didn't think it was wrong was because she knew that Zhang Yang was the investor and screenwriter of "Lost in Thailand".

If Zhang Yang had not invested six million in "Lost in Thailand" and introduced Wang Changtian to Xu Shanzheng, this movie might not have been created.

In the movie script, the most discussed and considered the funniest jokes on the Internet were all written by Zhang Yang, so he is known as the screenwriter in the "Lost in Thailand" crew.

With these two identities, who would think that he is not qualified to represent "Lost in Thailand"?
But for viewers who only look at the surface, and for the media who occasionally selectively look at the surface.

It is indeed a problem that Zhang Yang has been exposed all the time.

At first it was called publicity, but now it is called freeloading!
"Are you planning to do something bad?!" Li Yitong's eyes moved.

"Ouch~" Zhang Yang ruffled Li Yitong's bangs: "After hanging out with me for a long time, your brain has become more useful."

Mo Xiangwan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, closed the document, smiled faintly and shook his head.

Xiao Tao, who was driving and acting as half a driver, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The car arrived at the hotel quickly, and Zhang Yang, Xu Shanzheng and others met at a nearby restaurant.

At this moment, Xu Shanzheng was so proud of himself that he even walked with an air of floating.

Huang Bo also smiled happily. As one of the three leading actors of "Lost in Thailand", the better the movie is, the more benefits it will bring to him, including but not limited to increasing his fame, increasing commercial value and increasing movie pay.

What made him even happier was the original operation, which converted the film remuneration into investment ratio. According to the current box office, he would be able to get about 12 million yuan, which is four times the amount!
With such a great career and great wealth, how could he not be happy?
If he wasn't afraid of irritating Wang Baoqiang, he would have laughed out loud.

That’s right, compared to Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang was happy but not that happy.

Wang Baoqiang, who has filmed TV series such as "A World Without Thieves", has high commercial value in the film industry.

Xu Shanzheng invited him to play the male lead Wang Bao but offered a salary of "five million", which was the market price.

Wang Baoqiang has always supported Xu Shanzheng on the script issue, and even reduced the price by two million when filming started.

As a result, it is now known that Huang Bo, who also received a film salary of 3 million, earned four times as much, and even more than that.

Can you find balance in your heart?

However, Wang Baoqiang is a kind and honest man, and he finally regained his emotional compatibility.

However, when Xu Shanzheng recently talked about the next "囧 series" movie in high spirits, he also said that the film remuneration should not be converted into investment.

Xu Shanzheng did not refuse, but he did not agree outright either. He just kept the question hanging by saying something ambiguous.

"Ayang, will you still compete with Xu Shan for the next movie?"

After three rounds of drinks, Huang Bo approached Zhang Yang and started to ask him questions indirectly.

He had already realized that Xu Shanzheng could not be a close friend, but there was absolutely no problem with him being a partner or a general friend.

Maybe we can't share wealth, but you don't have to worry about others stabbing you in the back, but there is no need to be too sincere.

In comparison, Huang Bo trusts Zhang Yang more. The two have been close friends since they met during the filming of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

"It depends on whether he brings Baoqiang with him." Zhang Yang shook his wine glass and told the truth.

"Open!" Huang Bo smiled and picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhang Yang.

Indeed, this is just his own feeling now. Maybe Xu Shanzheng is just more cautious?

If Xu Shan wants to take Wang Baoqiang to play in the next "囧 series", it means that he is grateful or wants to share the wealth. He can also continue to play together, participate in the performance or invest.

"." Zhang Yang's eyes twitched slightly.

He felt that Huang Bo had misunderstood what he meant.

In fact, Huang Bo’s evaluation of Xu Shanzheng is correct
In the future, Xu Shanzheng will start "Lost in Hong Kong" and invite Wang Baoqiang to be the male lead, but when the latter asked to convert his salary into investment, he refused and would rather choose the low-end Bao Heibei.

Not to mention the fame and status Xu Shanzheng gained from "Lost in Thailand", he also earned nearly 100 million yuan from the box office, not to mention the copyright income, etc., but he didn't even mention giving Wang Baoqiang a red envelope as a token of his appreciation.

Wang Baoqiang was somewhat dissatisfied, but he also knew that investment is investment and personal relationships are personal relationships, and there is no moral kidnapping.

As a result, Xu Shan refused to take him to the new drama, so he and Chen Sicheng went to work on the "Detective Chinatown series".

Zhang Yang is already preparing to invest in the online drama "Detective Chinatown" and is currently looking for suitable male and female leads. Wang Baoqiang will also need to appear at that time, after all, the movie needs to be complete with all the right people.

But this can only be decided after Xu Shanzheng rejects Wang Baoqiang, so he answered Huang Bo like this.

"It's my duty." Zhang Yang smiled.

He is indeed an open-minded person.

"Brother Baoqiang, thank you for your contribution to our film."

"As one of the investors and producers, I'll give you a red envelope as a thank you once the box office revenue is shared!"

After dinner, Zhang Yang found Wang Baoqiang to improve his favor.

A person who is both an agent and a bedmate can only make rumors but cannot dig up any negative information, and who needs to borrow money to pay taxes can definitely make friends.

"That's great." Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently, "Ayang, tell me what kind of movie you want to invest in. I can take it if it's suitable. My wife said you have a good eye, better than me anyway."

Zhang Yang: “.”

"By the way, my wife said that if you have time, you can come to her house and she will cook for you."

Zhang Yang: “.”

Before I deal with your wife, let's not get too close.

The next day, December 12, Thursday, was also the ninth day of Lost in Thailand’s release.

The box office exceeded 100 million in three days, 200 million in four days, 300 million in five days, and 400 million in seven days.

On the eighth day, the box office reversed the decline and reached nearly 60 million. If nothing unexpected happens, the total box office will exceed 500 million after today.

No one dares to assert the box office ceiling of "Lost in Thailand", and many people are even beginning to wonder whether Zhang Yang's prediction will come true.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the crew of "Lost in Thailand" came to Shenzhen's largest cinema for promotion.

After the routine interactions and performances, there was an interview session at the end.

It was quite formal at the beginning, but the style suddenly changed when it came to Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, Big Brother Cheng's movie 'The Chinese Zodiac' is released today. Do you think it will have an impact on the box office of 'Lost in Thailand'?" a reporter asked, seeming to be trying to create confrontation as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My journalist friend, you are asking even though you already know the answer." Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "The release of Chinese Zodiac will take up a lot of the screening schedule, and the audience will have more options. Besides, Lost in Thailand has been released for nine days, so it will definitely have an impact."

“So do you still firmly believe that Lost in Thailand can reach a box office of 1 billion?” the reporter asked.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yang, the hottest topic recently.

“Of course!” Zhang Yang nodded without hesitation. “The release date of Chinese Zodiac was set long ago on December 12th. It was not moved up suddenly, so the possible impact on Lost in Thailand was already within my consideration.”

Hey!
This may sound a bit domineering.

If Lost in Thailand hadn't grossed 400 million in 8 days and is about to break 500 million today, everyone would think that Zhang Yang was talking nonsense.

But even so, there are still many people who think that he is a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers.

"Zhang Yang, do you think Big Brother's movie is nothing to worry about?!" A reporter immediately followed with a gleam in his eyes.

"Not really!" Zhang Yang shook his head: "Dear media friends, and audience members, don't you have confidence in our mainland box office market?"

"On December 12 and 15, the box office of our film Lost in Thailand alone averaged over 16 million yuan."

"This shows that our current film market is fully capable of accommodating two or even more good films."

"I hope that 'Chinese Zodiac' will be a big hit at the box office and that our Chinese film industry will flourish."

Everyone: "."

This speech sounds like that of an old cadre.

Sure enough, this person is somewhat evil in a righteous way.

Some people wanted to ask something, but the "Lost in Thailand" crew announced their departure.

The events of the next few days also confirmed Zhang Yang's words and vision.

On December 12th, the first day of release of "Chinese Zodiac", the screening rate was 20, exceeding the 34.5 of "Lost in Thailand", and the box office was 34.3 million, exceeding the million of "Lost in Thailand".

Both films performed very well at the box office, with single-day sales exceeding 100 million yuan.

But on December 12, something surprising happened.

With the screening schedule unchanged, the box office of "Chinese Zodiac" rose to 48 million, and the box office of "Lost in Thailand" also rose to 46 million, almost surpassing it.

In many cinemas, there were audiences who wanted to watch "Lost in Thailand" but did not have movie tickets.

So on December 12, Saturday, the screening schedule of "Lost in Thailand" returned to 22, while that of "Chinese Zodiac" dropped.

On this day, "Lost in Thailand" once again reversed its decline, with its single-day box office returning to 75 million, shocking countless people once again.

On that day, Lost in Thailand grossed just over 7 million yuan, breaking the record for the fastest box office of a Chinese-language film to break 7 million yuan, and also booked the second week's box office champion for a Chinese-language film, setting the record for the highest box office in a single week.

"Lost in Thailand" is a huge hit!

The roadshows of the main creators are still increasing and continuing.

Even Pang Bing, the actress who made a guest appearance at the end, participated in the roadshow.

This movie has achieved so much and is destined to have a bright future.

"Thank you for inviting me to guest star." Fat Bing did not forget to secretly kiss Zhang Yang when he reached the dressing room: "I'll give you a reward tonight, little man."

"Little man?"

"Big man~"

December 12rd, Sunday.

As the roadshow was about to end, another media outlet attacked Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, Lost in Thailand has been released for 12 days, and you have been following the crew to promote the film."

"This is Fat Bing's first time participating in a roadshow, and you don't have as many scenes as she does."

"Many people on the Internet say that you are trying to gain popularity. What do you think about this?!"

Zhang Yang: “.”

You are finally here.

If you don't come, I will arrange for reporters to attack me myself.
