Chapter 144: Honey Trap

No film managed to break the one billion yuan line . Four hundred and eighty million wasn’t the highest, but it was on the higher side .

The total investment for “Justice and Selflessness” was only twelve million Hong Kong Dollars . It raked in some cash especially when the film didn’t have too many negative reviews .

“He called me last night . Said he prepared a celebratory feast . I rejected it for you because you need to go back for New Year,” He Wei nodded .

“Thank you, Brother Wei . ” Yun Xiangxiang smiled sweetly .

Actors didn’t have any rest days . He Wei wouldn’t decline it for her if he wasn’t accommodating her .

Other directors from Hong Kong would be there during the celebratory feast to congratulate them . This was a great opportunity to get into the Hong Kong circle .

“Don’t be happy too fast,” He Wei glanced at her . “I have already sent next year’s notification to Coco . ”

“It doesn’t sound simple…” Yun Xiangxiang pretended to be on guard and looked at He Wei .

“The company has a New Year’s celebration . Attendance is compulsory . It’s on the sixth day [1] of the New Year . “Huan Yu Century Entertainment doesn’t hold annual celebrations . It only holds New Year celebrations .

It was on the sixth day . She even said that she would arrange a meetup between Song Mian and her friends on the fifth day . Wouldn’t that mean that she would have to start work the next day?

“You’ll start attending driving school on the seventh day . Try to get the driver’s license before June . “Flying Sky” may choose its actors and start filming in the second half of the year,” He Wei continued .

“”Flying Sky”?” Yun Xiangxiang reacted . “Is it the master thief film with Tiantian in it?”

He Wei nodded, “Lu Rong is already dead . Fly is the one who survived . The film is named after the male and female protagonists . ”

“But I can only think about the Dunhuang Murals [2] and mythical stories when I hear of “Flying Sky”…” Yun Xiangxiang laughed silently .

She thought that it was great after mulling over it for a while, “The flying dragon in the sky breaks through its prison and escapes into freedom . It’s very good . ”

Anyone would associate it with a different concept when they heard of it the first time . However, it had a nice ring to it after they knew what genre it was .

“I have an idea though . I’ll see if I can ask Austin to lend The Star of Peace and have it star in the film,” He Wei had also just thought about it . “You will be able to get Tiantian, no questions asked if you can get The Star of Peace into the scene .

The fake jewelry wouldn’t be as shockingly eye-catching as the real deal, no matter how much post-processing is done .

The marketing could create quite the topic if they managed to get a one hundred and eighty-eight-carat green diamond into the film .

Yun Xiangxiang hadn’t heard of a one hundred and eighty-eight-carat green diamond before . She believed that this alone was enough to pique many people’s curiosity .

“It shouldn’t be hard to borrow it,” Yun Xiangxiang considered Austin’s personality . “Having it appear in the film is also free marketing for MonRoe . It’s a win-win situation . Its safety is the hardest part…”

Transporting it from New York City to China and then sending it back would make it hard to hide it from jewelry thieves .

These people’s sense of jewelry was sharper than a dog’s sense of meat .

Yun Xiangxiang really couldn’t face Austin if she lost The Star of Peace .

“Don’t put the cart before the horse . We’ll think about it after I think of a perfect plan,” He Wei put this topic on hold . “Jiu Se” will start filming in March . ”

“Villainess” changed its name to “Jiu Se”?” Yun Xiangxiang thought that a film’s artistic quality relied upon the fact that nobody knew what it was talking about after they saw its name . They needed to watch the film themselves to know .

The renaming to “Jiu Se” was a good move . Yun Xiangxiang actually liked the name “Jiu Se . ” She thought that it sounded nice .

“Did Du Changrong tell you that he would split the profits in half after this?” He Wei suddenly asked .

“He mentioned it before,” Yun Xiangxiang still remembered that it was because Du Chanrong didn’t think that he could give her too much recompense .

“The investment in “Jiu Se” this time is wholly sponsored by the company . We didn’t find another investor . ” He Wei asked Yun Xiangxiang, “Do you know what this means?”

“It means that the company is investing in me . ” There were a lot of actors and actresses in Huan Yu Century Entertainment . It was rare to see them invest in their actors and shoulder the risk themselves .

A film being a hit wasn’t just a dependent feeling that it was a good script, or that it was filmed well, or that it had a lot of investments .

It also wasn’t dependent on all-out marketing .

The first thing was the actors’ influence . The second was the audience’s approval rate .

The actors’ influence would attract a lot of audiences who loved them . These audience’s acknowledgments would turn into natural cyber supporters .

Even though Yun Xiangxiang did decently in all three films, her influence wasn’t until a level where she could get everyone to watch a film just by saying it .

“Thank you, Brother Wei . ” That was why He Wei must have put in a lot of effort for this decision to be made . The company wouldn’t agree to it otherwise .

“You are my actress . Naturally, I must think for you . ” He Wei brushed it off, “The company has agreed to invest fifty million yuan . However, the condition for you to have a share of the profit is that the box office must exceed a hundred and fifty million yuan . ”

“Fifty million!” Yun Xiangxiang felt incredulous . Du Changrong only wanted ten million…

“I cannot guarantee that you will enter big productions, but I must guarantee that your works are of top quality,” said He Wei smilingly .

A historical drama was different from a modern drama . The outfits, scenes, and props would cost even more money .

He Wei had perused the script before . The filming of transition from peasantry to nobility to authority must be able to show those layers .

They must also be able to display that era’s nobilities’ recklessness and luxuriousness during filming .

Either they wouldn’t do it, or they do their best if they would start it .

“I will do my utmost best,” Yun Xiangxiang was suddenly fired up .

Although He Wei didn’t say anything, she believed that He Wei made compromises other than the one hundred and fifty million box office as a condition for her to have a share in the profits .

Huan Yu Century Entertainment would come together to face a common enemy . However, Yun Xiangxiang’s experience in her past life told her that the internal strife was also quite intense .

“That’s mostly it . See what you can do and arrange your learning time,” He Wei rested his eyes .

Yun Xiangxiang crumbled when she thought of the matter of time .

The driving school was still okay . She was already an experienced driver . Driving wouldn’t stump her . Learning would be a breeze .

The start of “Jiu Se”‘s filming; Italy’s ad filming and magazine interview; He Wei even planned to accept NI . G’s endorsement . There was also a film festival in between .

It was fortunate that “The King’s Plan” wouldn’t require any roadshows, judging by Wu Zhao’s personality . She should be able to squeeze some time to learn .

The car went directly to the airport . They were boarding a private jet, not a helicopter .

Song Mian who was waiting asked Yun Xiangxiang when he saw her crumpled expression, “What happened?”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t care that He Wei was beside them . She wrapped her hands around Song Mian’s waist and leaned on his shoulder, “Boyfriend, I can probably only accompany you during my time of doing homework after this . ”

Yun Xiangxiang relied on him even more after that last shooting . A smile spread in Song Mian’s eyes, “That is quite fine . You’ll do your homework, and I’ll do my reading . ”

Yun Xiangxiang immediately smiled until her eyes curved . She pushed him away, “You said that yourself!”

Yun Xiangxiang hopped on to the staircase after she finished . She even turned around and showed him a victory pose before she entered the plane .

Song Mian only knew that he actually fell for a honey trap then .

The beauty’s single hug and a dejected whisper made him so concerned, he forgot about everything .

He couldn’t complain about her girlfriend not having any time for him when he had fallen into his girlfriend’s trap now .

“Sigh, heroes have always fallen for beauty since ancient…”

Song Yao was greeted by his young master’s chilly glare before he even finished sighing .
