Chapter 286 Suning’s Methods

As the filming of the movie version of "The Myth" progressed, Song Hye Kyo discovered more shining points in Su Ning, and he did not behave like a "lecher" as the outside world had said. At least, no one in the "Myth" crew saw Su Ning having any private contact with any actress other than Guo Zhenni.

Seeing Guo Zhenni next to Su Ning, Song Hye Kyo showed an imperceptible expression of envy, and felt a little regretful for no reason in her heart.

"Director Su, Director Chen Jian just called me and asked me to go to the filming of the TV series "The Myth" tomorrow!"

"Yeah! I know!
Director Chen told me in advance!"

"Well! Then I'll go there tomorrow morning!"

"Haha, no need to be so anxious!
Go back to Beiyuan Garden tomorrow. There's a BMW 5 Series in the garage. Just drive it and use it for transportation!" Suning took out the BMW key and handed it to Guo Zhenni.

Guo Zhenni took the car keys with some surprise, "Thank you! I'm planning to buy a car!"

Looking at Guo Zhenni with a look of surprise, Suning smiled indifferently. The two of them had been getting along on the set these days, which had fascinated Suning.

Because Guo Zhenni did not have a role in the movie version of "The Myth", she spent most of her time with Suning and was responsible for Suning's three meals a day, so that Suning did not have to eat cold boxed lunches with everyone.

Guo Zhenni is from Heilongjiang in Northeast China, and the taste of her cooking is very much in line with the taste of Shandong people in Suning. Since coming from Suning, this is the first time I have enjoyed such meticulous care from Guo Zhenni.

Now all the crew members know the relationship between Guo Zhenni and Suning, but Suning is still a little worried that Guo Zhenni will encounter some troubles when she goes to the crew of the TV series "The Myth" to shoot, so she gave her her retired BMW 5 Series because many people recognize that car.

Everyone is smart, and some things don't need to be said explicitly. As long as they see Guo Zhenni driving Suning's BMW 5 Series, they will know how they should treat Guo Zhenni.

"Director Su, I went to Beiyuan Garden. What if the community security guard doesn't allow me to drive?"

“Hehe, it’s okay!
I parked the car in the south gate garage of Beiyuan Phase II!

When you get there, just go find the security captain!

Haha, mentioning my name works!"

"Well! I see!"

The next day, Guo Zhenni left the crew and rushed to Chen Jian's crew. Suning then put all his energy into filming the movie. With the initial running-in, the crew members became more and more adept at filming.

Guo Zhenni came to the second phase of Beiyuan Home and contacted the security captain from the security room at the south gate. After hearing Guo Zhenni's explanation, the security captain did not make any difficulties because he had received a call from Suning in advance.

"Haha, you must be Miss Guo Zhenni, right?"

"Huh? I'm Guo Zhenni!

You know me?" Guo Zhenni seemed a little surprised. After all, she is not a star now.

"Haha, Mr. Su has already called me!
I'm waiting for you!"

After hearing the explanation from the security captain, Guo Zhenni realized how attentive Su Ning was and felt very happy. Although the two of them had some intentions of getting what they wanted when they first met, Guo Zhenni still hoped that Su Ning would not despise her.

The security captain took Guo Zhenni all the way to the garage, and kept expressing his awe for Su Ning, "Ms. Guo, Mr. Su's BMW is a famous car in our area!

Mr. Su gave you this car to drive, just to show outsiders your relationship!"

"Huh? Is this car very famous?" Guo Zhenni was a little surprised, because although the BMW 5 Series is relatively expensive, it is still not good enough in a city like Beijing where many talented people are hiding.

"Yes! Mr. Su used to drive these two BMWs to and from Beijing Film Academy and Beiyuan Garden.

So it’s quite famous in Haidian District from Beijing Film Academy to Beiyuan Community!

The security captain explained it very clearly that the fame of this car was not because of how expensive it was, but because of the identity of its owner. After understanding the whole story, Guo Zhenni suddenly felt happy unconsciously. After all, she also liked the feeling of being respected.

Guo Zhenni drove this BMW to the crew of the TV series "The Myth". Chen Jian and the male lead Zhu Yawen, who knew about this car, looked at each other in surprise, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Director Chen, why do I feel like Suning is serious this time?"

"Huh? You have the best relationship with President Su!
You should know him best!"

Chen Jian smiled bitterly helplessly. He had also heard the news that Su Ning and Guo Zhenni were dating. He thought that Su Ning and the actress who played Lu Zhi were just playing around, but when he saw this special BMW appear here, Chen Jian knew that this was an extraordinary "aunt".

"Haha, sister-in-law!

I am Zhu Yawen!
He also plays the leading male character Yi Xiaochuan in the TV series The Myth. Zhu Yawen was the first to greet them with a smile.

"Hello! Zhu Yawen!
I heard Suning talk about you!"

"Ah? What did he say about me?" Zhu Yawen was also very curious about his friend's evaluation of him.

"Haha, he said you have the best relationship with him!"

"Of course! We are the best brothers in Beijing Film Academy!" Zhu Yawen smiled happily.

After the crew members knew Guo Zhenni's identity, they all showed envy unconsciously. Many actresses were also jealous. It turned out that Suning was a real bachelor.

Although Suning has a bad reputation and is well-known in the entertainment industry for his lustful personality, it still cannot conceal his wealth and talent. What's more rare is that he is not married yet, which means that there are unlimited possibilities for the women around him.

Therefore, the women around Suning did not think that Suning was taking advantage of them. Instead, they thought that they had the potential to become Suning's official girlfriends.

During the filming of the following drama version of "The Myth", Guo Zhenni did not encounter any difficulties. Although she was not the heroine, she still enjoyed treatment that exceeded that of the heroine. What was rare was that Bai Li, who played the heroine Princess Yu Shu, did not dare to act strangely at all.

Bai Li looked at the supporting role who was the center of attention, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Chen Xiaolan from Oriental Media had put a lot of effort into arranging her to be in the role. Of course, she was well aware of the task that Chen Xiaolan had assigned to her. It was a pity that she had not even met Suning until now.

Suning is not worried at all about how Guo Zhenni is doing with Chen Jian. We believe that Chen Jian and Zhu Yawen can understand what Suning means. Today, Suning welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"Suning, I'm here to visit the set!"

"Haha, Huang Bo!

Where have you been recently?"

"After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy, I was recruited by Guan Hu to film the TV series 'Survival of Migrant Workers.'"

"'Survival of Migrant Workers'?" Suning's mind immediately thought of Guan Hu's realistic drama, and of course he also thought of the drama's ill-fated fate.

"Yeah! Suning, have you heard of this TV series?"

"Yeah! I've heard of it!

Logically speaking, you should be filming this TV series now, right?

How did you find time to come visit me on set? "

"Alas! The crew has encountered financial problems and may be on hold for a while.

It just so happened that a new director named Ning Hao invited me to star in a low-budget movie.

But I'm a little unsure, so I came to ask for your opinion."

"Ning Hao?" Su Ning suddenly smiled at the "ugly man" in front of him, realizing that Huang Bo's spring was about to come.

"Hmm! A new director with no reputation at all!

Because I received a two million RMB grant from Andy Lau's New Director Program, and that's how this movie came about."

"Oh! Huang Bo, before I give you any advice, I want to ask you a question first."

"Huh? What's the problem?" Huang Bo looked at Suning in confusion.

"Huang Bo, we've been classmates for the past two years. What do you think of me?"

"Huh? I think you're a nice person!
We got along very well at Beijing Film Academy!
The main reason I came to you this time is to ask you to help Guan Hu!
The funding gap he's facing right now is really huge!" Huang Bo looked at Suning in surprise, then chose to tell him the truth.

"Yeah! I guessed your plan from the beginning!
Huang Bo, you should have heard that Su Media has opened an economic and cultural company, right?

"Yeah! I heard about it!" Huang Bo is a smart man, and he quickly looked at Suning with anticipation.

"Huang Bo, I want to sign you to Xingtu Economic and Cultural Company, a subsidiary of Su Media."

"Huh? Sign me?"

"Yeah! I'm very optimistic about your abilities!"

"I do!" Huang Bo was excited. "Haha, that's good!
I will sign a ten-year contract with you, and when your acting career takes off, you can also open a new company or studio according to your own wishes."

"Suning, don't worry!
I will never leave Su Media in this life! " After hearing Suning's arrangement, Huang Bo was suddenly moved, and then looked at Suning seriously.

"Haha, brothers are brothers!
Business is business!
You can do better, that's what I want to see!
So it is impossible for me to selfishly "imprison" you by my side.

Of course, we brothers can find another way to cooperate when the time comes."

"Thank you! Suning!" Huang Bo was deeply moved this time.

"Brother Bo, since we are a family!
Then I will tell you the truth, I can help Guan Hu and help him solve his financial problems."

"Really? That's great!

Guan Hu will be so happy to hear this news!" Huang Bo grinned with his signature big mouth in surprise.

"Haha, Huang Bo!

I am also optimistic about Ning Hao, so please help me contact him.

Just say I want to invest in his movie."

"Ah? You haven't even read Ning Hao's script, and you're willing to invest in his movie?"

"Haha, I've heard of Ning Hao before!
I have a certain understanding of his abilities!" Because Suning couldn't explain the fact that he traveled through time, he could only explain it as obscurely as possible.

"Well! Okay! Leave this matter to me!" Huang Bo patted his chest and assured Suning.

Suning was really excited about the unexpected surprise brought by Huang Bo. You know, although "Survival of Migrant Workers" is a drama with an ill-fated fate, no one can deny that it is an excellent drama. More importantly, there are many veteran actors with superb acting skills hidden in it.

Although he is doing very well now, he still can't help but admire and envy these veteran actors. If he can take the opportunity to sign a few veteran actors, his Su Media will really have the strength to challenge the number one in Chinese entertainment.

In fact, Suning is not the kind of person who just goes with the flow. He also wants to create a Chinese entertainment myth in this parallel world, so that his journey here will not be in vain.

Huang Bo moved quickly, and Guan Hu and Ning Hao arrived at the film version of "The Myth" crew almost at the same time. When they saw Suning's famous March RV, Guan Hu and Ning Hao showed the envious expressions that all men have.

"Boss Su, Director Kong, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Haha, Director Guan, I've heard of your name a long time ago!

We finally meet today!
This must be Director Ning Haoning?"

"Boss Su, I'm Ning Hao!"

After some greetings, Suning took Huang Bo and the other three grown men to the March RV, and then showed Huang Bo and the other two "country bumpkins" the various high-tech features of his RV.

When Suning saw the envious expressions on the faces of Huang Bo, Guan Hu and the others, he was extremely happy. However, Kong Sheng felt that Suning's happy expression made him laugh and cry.

After a relatively easy communication, Suning agreed to invest 6 million yuan and hold 40% of the equity of "Survival of Migrant Workers". Originally, "Survival of Migrant Workers" was not a big production. The 6 million yuan was a life-saving "nectar" for Guan Hu, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Suning.

"Director Guan, let's be mean first and gentlemen later!

I can only transfer the six million to you after you go to Beijing Su Media and sign the contract!"

"Haha, I know the rules!

Mr. Su, I, Guan Hu, will remember your kindness!
If you need my help in the future, please let me know, Mr. Su."

"Haha, Director Guan, that's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say!

However, from now on, we should still call each other brothers!"

"Yes! It's best to call each other brothers!" Guan Hu was somewhat surprised by Suning's close behavior. After all, Suning's status today cannot be ignored.

After solving Guan Hu's funding problem, Suning looked at Ning Hao, who was still a "newcomer", and said, "Director Ning, I heard from Brother Bo about your filming plan.

I feel particularly interested!
So, let Brother Bo invite you out for a talk."

"Boss Su, it's an honor for me, Ning Hao, that you're interested!
This is my film script, "Diamond," which has already received investment from Andy Lau's New Director Program. Ning Hao tactfully handed over the script.

"Yeah! I heard what Brother Bo said!
A script that Andy Lau values must be good!" Su Ning took the script with a smile, flipped through it a few times, and confirmed that it was the magical "Crazy Stone".

"Director Ning, I'm ready to invest 20 million!

Make this movie into a real big production.

Let’s see if we can challenge for the top spot in the Chinese entertainment box office next year.”

"Ah? Twenty million?" At this time, the four men in March's RV all showed shocked expressions.

Ning Hao swallowed hard, his nonexistent saliva, and stammered as he looked at Su Ning, "Boss Su, are you sure it's 20 million?"

"Yes! 20 million RMB!
That’s the price of a March RV!”

"Mr. Su, do you have any other conditions?" Ning Hao was not completely stunned by Suning's "money bomb", but quickly woke up.

"Yes! My condition is that you join our Su Media and become our full-time director."

"What? Join Su Media?" Ning Hao couldn't suppress his surprise.

How can this be called a "condition"?

It is clearly Suning’s “gift” to him!

"Yes! Our Su Media is different from other companies.

The director decides the shooting projects himself!
And the director is allowed to form his own filming team, so he will have great power."

"Boss Su, I agree to join Su Media!
Regarding the investment in Diamond, I still need to discuss it with Mr. Andy Lau from Hong Kong!"

"Yeah! I understand!
Then I will wait here for your good news!"

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding!"

After Huang Bo, Guan Hu and the other two left, Kong Sheng looked at Su Ning and asked, "Mr. Su, are you optimistic about Ning Hao?"

"Yeah! Huang Bo and Ning Hao are both late bloomers. I believe in my judgment."

"Boss Su, I don't doubt your vision!
But if you directly invest 20 million, you are just kicking Andy Lau out!"

"Haha, Lao Kong, you are still the best!

When Hong Kong's Andy Lau heard the news Ning Hao passed on, he would definitely be ashamed and angry and withdraw his investment directly.

It will all depend on Ning Hao's choice then!"

"Huh? This is indeed a difficult choice!
Choosing Andy Lau will definitely give the film a chance to be released in Hong Kong.

But only two million yuan is not enough to support Ning Hao's script." Kong Sheng has been reading the script of "Diamond" and really likes this movie.

"Hmm! If Ning Hao chooses us, we might lose the chance to be released in Hong Kong!
But he will have enough funds to complete the big production in his mind."

"Boss Su, you are so mean!" Kong Sheng looked at his boss Su Ning with a wry smile.

"Haha, people say that a man without ruthlessness is not a hero!
This is just normal business behavior, not something awful or evil!"

"Yeah! That's true!
But I think this "Diamonds" has strong traces of imitating "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"!

I'm worried about whether I'll run into any trouble when it's released!"

"Lao Kong, you also discovered it?

That’s right! This movie “Diamonds” is a parody of “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”!
But my goal is only the domestic Chinese entertainment box office. Those foreign guys who are so arrogant are not within my consideration!

Besides, they wouldn’t understand it either!”
