I'll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 628: Ungrateful?

Zhao Licheng was silent for a while before he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Su. I’ll discuss it with my wife when I get back. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”

As Zhao Licheng was not in front of Su Yang and Su Yang was driving, he did not notice anything amiss with Zhao Licheng. He merely replied, “Alright. Be careful when you go home.”

After that, the two of them chatted for a while more about the company. After ensuring that everything was fine, Su Yang got Little Deeny to hang up.

Su Yang then stopped the car at the garage and walked into the villa.

Tang Xiaomi was not at the villa today. Ever since Tang Jing regained her assets, Tang Xiaomi had been sent to kindergarten.

Su Yang had a feeling that Tang Jing was preparing for their departure. Hence, there was a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Returning to his room, Su Yang entered the virtual space and got Little Deeny to call Wu Feng.

The call connected in less than two seconds. Wu Feng’s voice came from the other end. “Brother Su, congratulations!”

Of course, Su Yang knew what Wu Feng was congratulating him about. He replied, “Brother Wu, congratulations to you as well!”

After congratulating each other, the two laughed.

It was enough for the both of them to be proud when they saw “Wolf Warriors” obtaining such results!

After laughing, Su Yang said, “Oh right, Brother Wu, I’m here to talk to you about a movie.”

Wu Feng misunderstood Su Yang’s meaning. “Is it the sequel to “Wolf Warriors”? Don’t worry. Once the movie is out, I’ll gather the editors to prepare the script.”

Su Yang replied, “No, I found another good film. It’s a sci-fi movie adapted from a novel. The director is a rookie and he’s only filmed one movie. However, in terms of his directing skills or his seriousness, he’s pretty good.”

“I was thinking, would you be interested in acting as a guest actor? I feel like this movie will be very good, it has the potential of becoming a national movie.”

Wu Feng was shocked.

‘I know Su Yang very well, he would never brag and is very knowledgeable. If he isn’t confident, she wouldn’t give such an evaluation.

‘If this movie could really become a milestone for locally produced movies, then I’m definitely willing to act in such a movie. Even if I don’t bring our relationship into account, just my status within the industry alone would be greatly increased.’

Therefore, Wu Feng agreed immediately. “No problem! Brother Su! Thank you in advance!”

Su Yang chuckled and revealed his true motive. “Brother Wu, since you’ve joined the production team, you’re already part of the production team, so you’re welcome.”

“The thing is, even though this movie is very good, the copyrights to it aren’t in my hands. So, I need you to help me find someone and see if you can settle the copyrights issue.”

Wu Feng was stunned.

‘Okay! You haven’t even gotten the copyrights and you’re telling me it’s going to be a groundbreaking movie... This is such a big bluff.’

Although he was complaining, their relationship would not be affected by such a small matter. Therefore, Wu Feng asked directly, “Sure. Tell me, who has the copyrights? I’ll see if I know them and whether I can help you settle it?”

Su Yang replied, “National Films.”

Wu Feng was speechless.

Wu Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Brother Su, you really think highly of me. That’s a government-owned department, yet you’re going to ask them for the copyrights? Stop kidding with me!”

Su Yang explained, “Brother Wu, how would you know if it’s going to fail if you don’t try? If you know anyone, introduce them to me please.”

Wu Feng thought about it for a while before saying, “Alright, I’ll help you ask around. In fact, I actually do know the director of their film department. I’ll see if he’s available recently and if we can invite us out for a meal. When the time comes, you can come over and have a chat together.”

Su Yang replied, “Haha, thank you, Brother Wu! I’ll be waiting for you to make a guest appearance on set.”

Wu Feng was at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry. “Alright, alright, alright, I got it.”

After hanging up, Wu Feng smiled and shook his head. “This Brother Su has actually learned how to trick people.”

He felt that he had been “tricked” by Su Yang. ‘What milestone? What guest appearance? They’re all just excuses to get me involved to help with the copyrights.

‘How could he possibly know that a movie is going to be a big hit even before filming began?

‘Even if Su Yang’s judgment is always accurate, there are too many factors that could affect the box office. No one knows if there would be any problems.

‘Unless Su Yang had the ability to predict the future, I won’t believe him.’

What Wu Feng did not know was that although Su Yang did not have the ability to predict the future, he had Little Hus, a dog that could see through one’s potential.

Also, Su Yang really did want him to participate in the production of this movie.

After all, Wu Feng did not know the potential of this movie. However, Su Yang knew that such a groundbreaking movie with a box office of billions of yuan would be good for the actors involved.

That was why Su Yang wanted Wu Feng to make a guest appearance and earn a few billion yuan at the box office.

However, Su Yang knew that it was useless to explain now. Wu Feng would thank him when “Wandering Planet” was released.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang summoned a virtual interface that showed the box office of “Wolf Warriors”.

On Wednesday, the box office for “Wolf Warriors” fell further. It had gone from more than 30 million yuan to just over 20 million yuan. Su Yang estimated that the box office for that day would not exceed 25 million yuan.

But, no matter what, the box office for “Wolf Warriors” had already steadily crossed the 400 million yuan mark.

‘It won’t be long now before the bet with Big Beard Liu is going to be completed.’

Su Yang closed the box office interface and opened the Findme app. Then, he opened his account.

When he was chatting with Guo Fan on that day, Guo Fan mentioned that his [Virtual Space Descent] video seemed to have gone viral. Hence, Su Yang also wanted to pay attention to it.

He opened her company’s account and saw the only video in it. Other singing videos were all posted using Su Yang’s private account, but this video was posted using the company’s account.

When Su Yang opened the video, he saw that the video already had more than 500,000 likes and more than 30 million views.

He asked Little Deeny to show him the data and found that the number of views was already at the top of the Findme app.

The only thing that could surpass this video was the video of the songs that he had sung...

‘No matter when, a good voice is always the most attractive.’

Returning to the video, Su Yang clicked on the comments and realized that many netizens were praising its “special effects”.

‘I don’t know why, but watching this short video makes me feel like our country has a chance of surpassing Hollywood with its locally-produced movies and special effects. Then, when I go to the cinema to watch movies, I feel like our country is worlds apart from being compared to overseas.’

‘I refuse to believe that this is special effects! This must be real! How can the special effects in China be so good!’

‘As everyone knows, videos cannot be photoshopped, so this must have happened in real life. Yeap, smiley emoji.’

Su Yang smiled as he read the comments from the stupid netizens. ‘All of you are great prophets. This isn’t special effects, it’s real.’

Initially, Su Yang did not want to attract business for his film company. However, he kept many things to himself and was too lonely. Therefore, he wanted to share them with others so that they could see for themselves.

Unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise had attracted Guo Fan to cooperate with him.

‘This is a good thing, this video is considered a success.’

Su Yang also set a goal for himself. ‘I’m going to try and make the special effects for “Wandering Planet” be as realistic as possible!

‘This is the only way I can live up to the capability of being the most capable special effects company within the country!

‘With my current [Advanced Film And Television Post-Production], it shouldn’t be sufficient to achieve that level of capacity...

‘Perhaps it’s time for me to improve my [Film And Television Post-Production] ability.’

...

At the same time, Zhao Licheng was making a call in the general manager’s office of Jiadian E-Commerce Company.

His general manager’s office was not the same as Su Yang’s. It was changed from Wang Dong’s office with a new label on it.

The label of Su Yang’s office had been changed to “Chairman’s Office”. However, it had been vacant for a long time ever since a beautiful young lady last visited.

“Shanshan, is what you told me true?” Zhao Licheng’s face darkened.

Zhao Licheng’s wife’s voice came through the phone. “What would I lie to you? What’s our relationship? Why would I lie to you?”

Hearing his wife’s words, Zhao Licheng explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just feel that this matter is too hard for me to accept.”

Then, Zhao Licheng said, “I’ve spoken to Mr. Su. I’m going home tonight. Let’s chat later.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Licheng rubbed his temples. He felt like he was in a difficult situation.

At 6pm, which was the time for Jiadian E-Commerce Company to get off from work, Zhao Licheng took a cab home.

When he went upstairs, his wife was already waiting at home.

The two of them got through the initial novelty and returned to their old married couple mode. Even though his wife would sometimes stare at his young face in a daze, there were no other changes.

After receiving the clothes from Zhao Licheng, Zhao Licheng’s wife hung them on the clothes rack and said in a low voice, “I went to look for Old Cao today and his attitude hasn’t changed. He just wants to buy back my shares at a premium in cash.”

Zhao Licheng nodded and sat on the sofa. He asked, “How much is the premium?”

His wife said, “Ten percent...”

Zhao Licheng frowned and slowly said, “He’s delusional...”

His wife knew Zhao Licheng very well. When she heard his tone, she came to his side worriedly and wrapped her arms around his arm to appease his anger. “Don’t be angry, you’re ruining your health. Are you planning to ruin the health of this young body too?”

Zhao Licheng took a deep breath and looked at his wife gently. “I’m fine. I just didn’t expect the person I fought alongside with to be such an ingrate!”

His wife tried to persuade him. “Actually, Old Cao has his reasons. I have 12% of the company’s shares, which is too dangerous for a company that is prospering and seeking an IPO.”

“Plus, I took the initiative to bring it up and plan to sell 500 million yuan worth of shares to Mr. Su at a flat price. So, they would definitely be even more worried, so increasing the price by 10% is already a kind gesture.”

Zhao Licheng glanced at his wife and smiled bitterly. “You’re too kind. How could he have a conscience? If he had a conscience, he would buy back our shares according to the normal market price!”

“He’s bullying you because you don’t understand the value of the IPO shares, so he only gave you a 10% premium!”

“Let me tell you, the value of these shares is more than twice the estimated value. Even though there is a certain risk, it is reasonable for the price to be doubled. In the end, he’s only giving you 10%! What a heartless person!”

“Besides, it’s not the time for us to earn money. It’s mainly because of Mr. Su. If he wants to invest, we have to settle it for him.”

“No! I want to talk to Old Cao personally!”

After Zhao Licheng finished speaking, his wife hurriedly said, “How are you going to do that? He doesn’t know you at all and we can’t reveal Mr. Su’s secret. There’s no way to explain this at all.”

Zhao Licheng frowned again.
