Ye Mo put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

He knew Zhang Yu's personality better than anyone else.

He's a good actor and an honest man.

The problem is that they take it too seriously. They say they don't care, but they care more than anyone else.

Liu Yifei brought over a glass of water and sat down next to him: "Have you comforted Zhang Yu?"

Ye Mo nodded: "Yeah! He's played bit parts for half his life, so he panicked when he got nominated."

"Too many nominations are a worry, that's the way things are these days," Liu Yifei laughed.

In the past, just being nominated would have been an honor.

But in Ye Mo's films, being nominated but not winning an award is considered letting people down!

Ye Mo said, "People are used to hardship. When they are suddenly seen, their first reaction is to fear that they are not good enough for someone, but at the same time, they also want to be good enough for someone. Isn't that strange?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and nodded.

She understands this feeling all too well.

She went through the same thing when she first became famous.

"Honestly, are you nervous about the Golden Horse Awards this time?" Liu Yifei asked, looking at him.

Ye Mo laughed: "Why am I nervous! I've already won all those awards in China."

That's right, these things have long been irrelevant to Ye Mo!

"What about 'Shadow'? Zhang Yimou is a veteran director, and he also has twelve films." Liu Yifei asked.

Ye Mo smiled after hearing this: "I still have confidence in my film!"

Then he looked at Liu Yifei: "Don't you believe me?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei quickly nodded: "Of course I believe you!"

She had also seen the movie "Shadow".

Compared to others, it's still quite good; director Zhang Yimou completely outclasses them.

However, compared to Ye Mo's "Dying to Survive," there is still a significant difference from a personal perspective!

Ye Mo took a sip of water: "So! Nominations are nominations, awards are awards! I'd rather Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yu win more awards than I need."

Liu Yifei leaned closer, resting her head on his shoulder: "Don't you want any of that? Best Director, Best Screenplay, they're all yours."

Ye Mo squeezed her hand: "Sure! But even if I don't win, it won't be a loss for me now! I'd rather aim for international awards."

"The clown one?" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

Ye Mo nodded: "Yeah! It wouldn't be right not to give me a nomination for that role."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips: "That depends on whether Nolan is willing to step up his game."

Ye Mo laughed: "He's even more anxious than I am."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

We were just talking!

Zhang Yuan rushed in, carrying a folder.

"Boss! The money for 'All or Nothing' has arrived!"

Ye Mo sat up straight: "How much?"

Zhang Yuan opened the folder and pointed to the last line of numbers: "After deducting costs, marketing, and taxes, this is the amount that goes into your personal account."

Ye Mo glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Yuan lowered her voice: "A little over 1.5 billion! Second highest in film history, it wasn't a wasted effort!"

Ye Mo nodded without saying anything.

Receiving 1.5 billion is still quite good.

If it were a regular movie, his box office revenue would probably only amount to 1.3 billion.

But Ye Mo's films can save a lot on marketing and distribution costs.

Liu Yifei leaned over for a look and gasped.

"So many?"

Ye Mo laughed and said, "This is nothing! When Fast and Furious is released, it will more than double in box office revenue."

He then closed the folder and said to Zhang Yuan, "The usual."

Zhang Yuan immediately understood: "Ten percent goes to charity!"

Ye Mo nodded: "Another hundred million or so in donations, we need to keep an eye on where this money goes!"

Zhang Yuan nodded; she hadn't delegated this task to anyone else, taking charge of it all herself.

The main problem is that there's too much money involved. The subordinates keep reporting this and that, and who knows how much they've embezzled.

Only by controlling the flow of funds can you succeed.

After all, every penny is going to charity.

Liu Yifei listened from the side, her eyes softening.

This person talks about calculating every day, but when it comes to actually taking out money, he doesn't even blink.

"So, how should we divide this money?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Ye Mo thought for a moment: "First, sort out the accounts from the past few days! Have the library in Guizhou, the supplies in western Sichuan, and the wells in the northwest all arrived?"

Zhang Yuan opened her phone: "Everything is in place! The books have been delivered to the three libraries in Guizhou and Guizhou, and the children spend all their time there. The teachers say they've never seen them love reading so much! The cotton-padded coats in western Sichuan were distributed last winter, and the elderly say they're as warm as a blanket! Four wells have been dug in the Northwest, so the villagers no longer have to walk ten miles to fetch water."

"Where's Xiaohua?" Ye Mo asked.

Zhang Yuan said, "Xiao Hua is in school now! Grandpa's eyes recovered well after the surgery last month! The tuition fees for those seventeen students have also been paid monthly."

Ye Mo nodded.

He will never forget any of these children.

Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, then added, "There's something else! There's been a lot of buzz online lately."

Ye Mo: "Tell me."

Zhang Yuan handed over her phone: "There's a little boy named Shitou, eight years old! His father was paralyzed in a car accident, and his mother ran away! He carries his father to school in town every day, studying and taking care of him at the same time! The video is circulating all over the internet."

Ye Mo frowned as he looked at the thin figure in the video.

"I've seen that look in that child's eyes before."

Liu Yifei also came over to look, her eyes immediately reddening: "Ye Mo, help him."

That look in her eyes is exactly the same as Xiaohua's.

Life has worn away all the light in my eyes!

Ye Mo didn't speak, and handed the phone back to Zhang Yuan: "Check the background and verify it! I'll cover the expenses for his father to be admitted to a major hospital first! The child's tuition and living expenses will be covered by long-term support, and it will be recorded in the department's account."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I'll take care of it right away."

Ye Mo called out to her, "Wait! Who uploaded this video? Don't let anyone exploit this child's misery for clicks!"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback, then nodded: "I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll let you know if anything happens."

Ye Mo hummed in agreement.

The worst thing about doing charity is when someone uses other people's suffering to gain face for themselves.

Liu Yifei asked, "What's next? Do you want to go and see for yourself?"

Ye Mo leaned back in his chair: "Once Zhan Lang is done with his work, I'll go to Guizhou! I need to see Xiao Hua in person! And I'll go to Shi Tou's place once things are settled."

He can't visit everyone, he can only say he'll try his best!

"Then I'll go with you," Liu Yifei said.

Ye Mo laughed: "Okay, I'll show you the way! From now on, you'll be the boss of this place."

Liu Yifei blushed and punched him lightly: "Who's your boss?"

Zhang Yuan chimed in from the side, "So, is the progress on the Wolf Warrior side still so rushed?"

Ye Mo waved his hand: "No rush, it's tentatively scheduled for release next May!"

"We can take our time making the movie! The money's in our account, and we've already raised enough for charity. We don't need to worry about short-term box office success!"

"If we can make it to the May Day holiday, we'll release it; if not, we'll postpone it! I won't allow my film to be made shoddyly just to meet a release date."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go and greet everyone."

Ye Mo stood up and stretched.

"Alright, everyone, that's enough! I'm treating you to hot pot tonight."

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Ye Mo laughed and said, "Really! Also, invite Wu Jing and the others along; they've all been working hard lately."

Zhang Yuan went out to make arrangements, while Liu Yifei took Ye Mo's arm.

"You're stingy on the outside but generous on the inside," she said.

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow: "That's not called being stingy, that's called being good at managing money."

"A person who knows how to manage money can spend 150 million in one go?"

Ye Mo said, "That's money that should be spent! Money is only worthwhile when it's spent wisely."

Liu Yifei looked at him and suddenly felt something.

I've made the right choice in my life.

Ye Mo was unaware of her thoughts; he was already making plans.

What should I bring back from my trip to Guizhou?
