Rebirth of Hong Kong: Rising Era

Chapter 106 Ambition
Wang Yaodong and Lizhi waited for more than ten minutes beside the crane machine before it was finally their turn.

Lizhi happily started playing under his guidance.

"That claw makes it wobble, it might be cheaper to grab that way."

Lizhi shook the joystick and asked Wang Yaodong, "Is it like this?"

Wang Yaodong smiled and said: "Well, that's what it looks like, and then I'll focus on one."

Lizhi listened to his words and operated step by step.

After more than ten seconds, Lizhi said unsurely: "Do you think this is aligned?"

Wang Yaodong looked left and right, nodded and said: "It should be aligned."

Li Zhi heard that and pressed the capture button without hesitation.

Some shaky claws came down and firmly grasped the rabbit's rag doll.

Just when Lizhi was about to celebrate, the rag doll that had reached halfway fell directly into the hole. It was not far from the hole where it came out.

"Brother Dong, didn't you catch it? Why did you fall down again?" Lizhi asked with doubts in his mind.

Wang Yaodong knew that this was normal, and explained with a smile: "It may be that the claws are not too tight, and it is a little loose. Let's grab it again."

"OK then!"

Lizhi nodded a little depressed.

But I immediately regained my confidence and started working.

But the more you want something, the harder it is to get it. I grabbed it three times in a row, but still couldn't catch it. I even didn't touch it twice.

"Oh, this is not fun at all. I have caught it so many times and I haven't caught it. I don't want to play anymore. The person who invented this is so disgusting and made the difficulty so high." Lizhi complained in despair from the side.

She didn't know yet that the person complaining was the person next to her.

Wang Yaodong was also a little embarrassed when he listened on the sidelines.

Make money, don't be shabby!

"If you don't try again, maybe you will succeed this time?" Wang Yaodong suggested seeing that the rabbit doll was only a short distance away from the entrance of the cave.

Lizhi glanced at the doll that was about to come out, gritted his teeth, and did it again.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and this time it was successful, and the rag doll fell from the hole.

Lizhi quickly reached out and took it out, dancing happily, hugging Wang Yaodong and kissing him.

When the people around saw this live broadcast, they immediately cast strange looks, wishing that they were the ones being kissed.

Lizhi seemed to sense it, looked around, and quickly let go of Wang Yaodong.

But he immediately became excited and wanted to play the claw machine again.

Just as he was about to play, Cheng Xiaodong's voice came from behind.

"Sheng Wang, I'm sorry, are we late?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaodong and the two turned and looked behind them.

"No, it's because we're early. We still have about half an hour. Let's go sit in the lounge for a while?" Wang Yaodong said with a smile when he saw Cheng Xiaodong and others.

In fact, they thought they had arrived earlier, but they didn't expect to see such a big movement as soon as they came in. They turned around and saw Lizhi, and also looked at Wang Yaodong next to her, and then walked over.

"Okay, Mr. Wang invites you first." Cheng Xiaodong said.

In fact, the reason why Cheng Xiaodong has been talking about it is because he is the director of this movie. In this era, the rights of directors are still relatively large.

When Wang Yaodong heard Cheng Xiaodong's words, he walked to the front unceremoniously. Seeing this, Lizhi quickly grabbed his wrist and walked in front with him.

The people behind followed suit!

They had only been chatting for a few minutes in the rest room when Wu Zhaocan walked in.

"Sheng Wang, it's almost time. You can go in and wait."

"Okay Wu Sheng, thank you for your hard work. Do you know how many tickets we sold?"

Wu Zhaocan shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I didn't pay attention to it."

"Okay, let's go!" Wang Yaodong nodded.

After a while, Wu Zhaocan led a group of them to a large movie hall.

Wang Yaodong took a look around and saw that there were quite a few seats, at least a thousand, but the big movie theater was different.

If Wang Yaodong wants to do something like this now, he will definitely not do something like this. He will at least divide it into two or three movie theaters.

Not long after we sat down, people buying tickets started to arrive, just in twos and threes, and it didn’t look like there were many.

Until the movie started, only half of the people were sitting in the venue. When Cheng Xiaodong and others saw this, their hearts dropped completely.

If the film can't arouse everyone's interest after waiting, then it's really a flop.

After the company animation at the beginning, the film also officially started.

From the very beginning of the film, a terrifying atmosphere begins to build.

Some girls were so frightened that they hugged their boyfriends tightly.

There are also some who are bolder and directly punch their boyfriends twice. It's you who came to see this late at night, but you were so frightened that you dared to take advantage of me.

After knowing that it was just a joke, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just a joke to sell pork on a sheep's head again."

"Yeah, I'm aiming at it as a horror movie and a big production, so that's the end?"

Before he could finish complaining, the light went out because of the joke he just made.

Both rows of zombies began to come to life, and the fighting began, and everyone forgot to complain.

After the zombies were re-fixed, people with sharp eyes recognized Chen Youlai.

"Hey, isn't that Chen You who used to play in some band?"

"From what you said, it seems true, but his skills are much worse than that of Uncle Ninth!"

"I'm starting to think there's something to this video."

Chen You, who was in front, was quite happy to hear someone recognize him.

As for Cheng Xiaodong and Lin Zhengying, it was a lot easier to hear that they were basically praised, at least the audience accepted it.

However, the movie has just started, so we still need to wait until the end of the movie to know the details.

But fortunately, as the movie progressed, everyone watched with gusto and wasn't too scared.

Before you know it, the movie is over.

Many viewers applauded, Mr. Zombie is so good-looking.

Cheng Xiaodong laughed when he saw someone standing up and applauding. At least he had a premonition that the movie would not lose money.

"Sheng Wang, congratulations, the movie is very exciting, I think it is another movie that makes a lot of money." Wu Zhaocan stood up and smiled at Wang Yaodong.

"No, we'll have to wait and see the reaction of the people over at Jiahe. I guess that movie will do very well at the box office." Wang Yaodong shook his head.

After all, they are movies of the same type, and they will definitely succeed each other, but I don’t know who succeeds who.

But it can be foreseen that the box office will definitely be divided a lot.

After all, there are only so many people watching movies, so how much can we earn if we share it with each other?

When Wu Zhaocan heard Wang Yaodong's words, he thought he was being modest.

"The movie is over, you can do your own thing. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll excuse you for now."

"It's okay. If something happens, just go and do it first. We are all our own."

Wu Zhaocan smiled when he heard this, turned around and left first.

After Wang Yaodong watched Wu Zhaocan leave, he turned to the remaining people and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back and have a rest early. We'll wait until the celebration banquet to discuss this meal."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, you should also go to bed early." Cheng Xiaodong replied.

Several others also said similar words.

Wang Yaodong pulled Lizhi and said, "Then let's go first. Please pay attention to your own safety on the road."

After saying that, he took Lizhi's hand and left directly.Their relationship is already known, so there is no need to hide it.

Wang Yaodong took her out openly.

Just as she arrived at the door, Lizhi was recognized, and before people surrounded her, Wang Yaodong pulled her and ran towards the door quickly.

After getting in the car, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. If they were surrounded, it would not be so easy to escape.

"I didn't expect that someone would recognize me now that I'm so famous." Lizhi said with a smile.

"Men are generally more familiar with beautiful women." Wang Yaodong also joked.

"Are you going to compliment me on my beauty?" Lizhi asked with a smile.

Wang Yaodong nodded and said seriously: "Yes, but those breasts seem more beautiful."

When Li Zhi heard this, he lowered his head and looked down. After understanding, he beat Wang Yaodong a few times.

"Okay, don't make trouble, I'm driving the car." Wang Yaodong said after she punched her arms.

After hearing this, Li Zhi also stopped what he was doing. It was indeed not safe.

Not long after, the two returned home, took a shower and started fighting.

Now is the time when the night is dark and the wind is high. What's the point of not doing the things you like?

……

The next day, Mr. Zombie finally increased its attendance rate to [-]% with its good reputation, but Wang Yaodong believed that this was not its full potential.

There should be some increase. The specific situation depends on tomorrow's holiday.

Sure enough, the next day, through word of mouth, the reputation reached [-]%.

However, Wang Yaodong came to Jiahe's theater to check out their theater, and the attendance rate was also good.

But it's only [-]%, so there's probably no hope of beating him.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaodong's confidence greatly increased and he felt that he was fully capable of making movies independently.

Lin Zhengying's confidence has also greatly increased, and she is very happy to see that the drama she starred in is so popular.

But even when I go out, there are always people looking for trouble.

Everyone who met him called him Uncle Jiu, and he had a hunch that this title of Uncle Jiu might stay with him for a long time.

"Hey, Uncle Nine."

A man with a somewhat pale face stopped Lin Zhengying who was walking on the road.

Perhaps because she had heard too much, Lin Zhengying stopped instinctively, turned around and looked at the man who shouted: "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, I'm calling you." The man said immediately.

Lin Zhengying heard this and asked: "Excuse me, what can I do?"

"Uncle Jiu, I keep losing money in gambling recently. I wonder if you can help me crack it." The man said flatteringly.

Lin Zhengying was speechless for a while after hearing this, but when people asked, she still replied.

“If you don’t gamble, you win!”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you don't gamble, you won't lose. If you lose, you won."

The man became thoughtful after hearing this.

When Lin Zhengying saw this, she immediately ran away.

When the man came back to his senses and wanted to ask something, he realized that he had already disappeared.

I could only walk home in a daze.

This is purely a consequence of lack of sleep.

……

As soon as Wang Yaodong came out of Jiahe's cinema after spying on the enemy, the mobile phone in his hand began to ring.

He took it out, took a look at it, and picked it up.

"Sheng Wang, someone from the company is looking for you. Are you coming back?"

Wang Yaodong recognized the voice from the front desk of Yaodong Pictures, and asked into the microphone, "Who is looking for me?"

"He's from R country who was here last time."

Wang Yaodong knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

"I arrive at the company in 15 minutes, let him wait for me for a while."

After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, he hung up the phone and got into the car.

On the way, Wang Yaodong also roughly understood why Kimura Sato was looking for him.

If you come here at this time, it can only be Mr. Zombie’s copyright.

When Wang Yaodong saw him when he walked in, he looked apologetic and said, "Mr. Kimura, I'm sorry, I just have something to do outside."

"Wang, you are so polite. You are busy, which proves that your business is good!" Kimura Sato also said politely.

"Let's go inside and talk!"

After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, he took him into his office.

After pouring two cups of coffee and sitting down, he asked knowingly: "I don't know why Mr. Kimura came here to take care of us."

"Sheng Wang, let me tell you straight. This time I'm here for the movie Mr. Zombie. Can you just make an offer?" Kimura Sato said directly.

He knew that Wang Yaodong's refusal to package and sell this movie last time must have some bigger purpose.

Wang Yaodong smiled and said: "Since Mr. Kimura said so, I will tell you directly that I hope to share it and not buy it out directly."

Kimura Sato nodded, thinking in his heart that, as he expected, it was really going to be divided.

"The most we can give you is 30.00% five." Kimura Sato took a sip of coffee and said.

Wang Yaodong shook his head after hearing this and said: "Too little, 40.00% five!"

"It's impossible, this ratio is too high."

When Kimura Sato heard that it was so much, he suddenly became a little uneasy.

Wang Yaodong thought for a while and said: "Mr. Kimura, let's take a gamble. If the box office does not exceed 30.00 million R yuan, I will not take any money. If it exceeds, I will ask for [-]% five.

For more than 30.00 million, I want [-]%.

Over 40.00 million, I want [-]%.

For more than 6 million, I want 40.00% five, and so on, how about. "

After listening to Wang Yaodong's suggestion, Kimura Sato also started thinking about it, considering the pros and cons.

Finally he said: "Set the starting amount at [-] million, and I will agree to your plan."

Wang Yaodong thought for a while. The performance of this movie in the previous life was more than 5000 million. This condition seems to be acceptable.

But if you don't take advantage of it, you'd be a fool.

"Let's take a step back each, starting from [-] million R yuan."

Kimura Sato thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yaodong got up and went outside to ask someone to draft a contract.

Soon after, the two signed their names on the contract.

The deal was finally concluded.

How much money you can get next depends entirely on your luck.

I hope this time, the box office can be as brilliant as the previous one!
Kimura Sato had other things to do and had no intention of chatting with Wang Yaodong. He left after signing the contract.

Wang Yaodong was so happy that he sent the person to the elevator and returned to the office!
