My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1360 The Stone Reflects Nine

Wang Yu walked over with a happy expression.

He didn't forget to remind Xu Qingya, but Zhang You pretended not to hear. This old woman was quite skilled at climbing up the bamboo pole. He only said "okay" but didn't say it was definitely possible.

"Thank you, brother"

Xu Qingya smiled and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhang You, saying, "Whether I can become a rising star depends on you, big brother."

"Second brother"

Zhang You smiled and replied, "You can't rely on your older brother; you have to learn to rely on yourself."

After exchanging a few jokes with Xu Qingya, and waiting for Sister Ma to finish preparing the food, the group gathered around the round table to eat dinner. It had already been the beginning of spring, but it would still be cold for at least another month and a half before it warmed up.

Winter is much longer than other seasons, but the weather has been quite nice before and after the Lunar New Year, which is enough. On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang You went to the postpartum care center to see her little girl, Zhang Wangshu.

The little girl is getting prettier and prettier.

Her small face was as white as a peeled egg, and her eyes were especially beautiful.

Perhaps she learned this folk remedy from Jiang Yiren to promote the growth of baby eyelashes, as Zhang Yi also squeezes out a little milk and applies it to her little girl's eyelashes every day, saying that it will help her grow long eyelashes, and the effect seems to be quite good.

Xiao Zishan's eyelashes are much longer than Li Ran's, and it's very noticeable even when Li Ran's eyes are closed while she's sleeping. Zhang You didn't say anything about it. As long as she doesn't apply any random things, applying some milk will definitely be fine, since milk is healthy milk.

Congratulations, Zhang You!

Wang Yu picked up her drink and clinked it against Zhang You's, saying, "The other day you mentioned four billion, and I didn't believe you... Now I realize that although I've lived many years longer, I'm as ignorant as an eighteen-year-old girl."

Zhang You chuckled twice.

These old women really know how to talk.

Even though he was complimenting him, he didn't forget to praise himself as well. But after thinking for a moment, Zhang You said, "Congratulations can wait until the box office surpasses four billion! It's a bit early now."

Zhang You was telling the truth.

The box office performance of "Crazy Stone" in the first four days was indeed very impressive, breaking the 1.5 billion yuan mark. However, today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and such results can only be maintained for two or three days at most. After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year... it would be good if it could stabilize at 200 million yuan in daily box office.

That's how movie releases are. They make money in the first few days, but once the weekdays start, the profits drop significantly. If it were released during the summer season, the results would be better, but this movie... If it were a movie like "Hello Mr. Billionaire" or "Lost in Thailand," it would definitely be much better, but "Crazy Stone" probably won't.

The reason for this is that it's a dark comedy for adults.

This is Zhang You's own analysis; he hasn't actually done anything about it.

"It should arrive."

Wang Yu replied with a smile.

Hearing Wang Yu's conversation with her husband, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but laugh again. When "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and "The Truman Show" were released, she liked to check the daily box office on her phone, and "Crazy Stone" was no exception.

One of her favorite things to do every day is to calculate how much money her family can make based on yesterday's box office. She gets extremely excited every time she finishes calculating it.

She's been living such a good life these past two years... even Jiang Yiren herself is a little envious of herself.

She had a premonition that, at this rate, her family would become billionaires in two more years. Just thinking about it made Jiang Yiren feel an urge to do one or two more.

The main problem is that the family has so much wealth that the two sons simply can't afford to spend it all.

"Have you had anyone investigate the Spring Festival Gala matter?!"

At this moment, Han Hui spoke up and asked.

"Investigated."

Zhang You replied, "I was overthinking it. It's not that some young master has his eye on me; it's simply that the production team thought I was suitable, so they invited a leader from the Ministry of Culture to put in a good word for me."

This is a really good thing for Zhang You.

His biggest worry was that his project was too profitable and would attract the attention of the "young master." He was completely relieved after he found out that it wasn't. Zhang You wasn't afraid of anything else, just like he didn't care when other entertainment companies smeared "Crazy Stone."

What I fear most is being targeted by these young masters.

The most frightening thing is when people who should follow the rules break them. But thinking about it, it's quite normal. How much is his asset? If he really wanted to make hundreds of millions... it would be an easy thing. If he couldn't, he could just become an entrepreneur.

However, this incident did serve as a wake-up call for Zhang You. He wasn't being targeted yet because his assets hadn't reached a certain level, but if they were... So, once the three projects, "The Vanished She," "The Spy," and "If Love Has a Destiny," were completed, he would need to take a break. As for the TV series, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

After all, apart from hit TV series, other TV series, even if they have good ratings, have very limited revenue. One or two hundred million is already the ceiling. Unlike movies, which are presented directly with box office revenue, making his assets extremely transparent.

"That's good"

Han Hui nodded.

She breathed a sigh of relief. The higher one's position, the more one knows that some people will devour others without even spitting out the bones. No matter how strict the rules are, they are not scary. What is scary is that the people who make the rules start to break them.

"dad"

Xiao Zishan called out, and as Zhang You turned to look at her, the girl looked at him with expectant eyes and said, "Didn't Li Ran and I each give you five million to invest? Will we get a share of the profits from 'Crazy Stone'?!"

Seemingly worried that her father wouldn't give her more, Xiao Zishan added, "We don't need much, just give us according to the investment ratio. Your precious daughter and your little apprentice won't take any more. Dad, see how good we are to you!"

"dream"

Before Zhang You could speak, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but interject, "How long have you been giving your money to your dad? Wait... your dad's already setting up the framework for a TV series, right? He'll stuff ten million of your money into it then. Movies won't do."

Jiang Yiren wouldn't be able to stand it if "Crazy Stone" were split between these two girls.

With such high box office returns and a relatively small investment, if these two girls were to take roughly one-tenth of the profits based on their investment share, that would amount to at least two or three hundred million. How is that possible?!
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to my dad."

Xiao Zishan said unhappily, then continued to stare longingly at her father.

"This really won't work."

Zhang You smiled wryly, "Once the TV series starts pre-production, I'll put your and Li Ran's ten million into it as an investment. As for whether it makes money, that depends on your luck."

Han Hui's expression shifted.

She was just thinking of investing in a little, but then she remembered that this was a TV series... She immediately realized that Zhang Youhao seemed to have never invested in a TV series before. In this field, he was a complete newcomer, and there were no successful examples to prove it.

When these thoughts come to mind.

Han Hui put down her chopsticks, and to everyone's astonishment, the old woman raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.

then.

The other hand slapped the other side.
