C108 It Is Good to Have Money
"Younger Brother Shang, you're finally back." Wu Jing said in joy.
"Right, I heard that there was an argument coming from your side. What's going on?" Shang Liang now had the Wind Catching Ear, so his hearing ability was especially strong.
"Sigh, it's hard to explain in a single sentence." Unexpectedly, Wu Jing slowly sighed.
"Did something happen to the crew?" Shang Liang asked suspiciously.
He had heard from Wu Jing that something had happened to the crew and thus, he had to return early.
"Big Brother Wu, if you guys are going to act like this, I'm going to rush over to your production team." Shang Liang said, "Wait for me!"
The task of investing in Wu Jing to film hasn't been completed yet, the crew must not let anything happen to them! Shang Liang immediately made a decision and rode his Maserati, using a speed as fast as lightning to rush towards the location of the Wu Jing production crew.
The location where Wu Jing's crew filmed at was in Peng City, in Shadow City. There were many teams filming here, and they would occasionally run into a few movie stars. The Peng City's Shadow TV City was very big. As Shang Liang drove, he circled around and finally saw Wu Jing's figure.
However, what made Shang Liang surprised was that the members of Wu Jing's film crew did not take any photos, but started to play on their phones instead. Wu Jing himself was squatting at the side, smoking and sighing.
"Big Brother Wu!" Shang Liang got out of the carriage and shouted towards Wu Jing.
"Younger Brother Shang, you're here!" Seeing Shang Liang coming over, Wu Jing immediately extinguished his cigarette and walked towards Shang Liang, greeting him.
"Hey, Big Brother Wu, you people are here, why are you not filming?" Shang Liang ridiculed, "Are you waiting for some big shot?"
"Younger Brother Shang, you must be joking." Wu Jing laughed bitterly, "Our crew is so poor, how can we afford to get such big names!"
"Then you all …" Shang Liang asked doubtfully.
"It's still not the problem of the recipe!" Without waiting for Wu Jing to reply, an assistant director by Wu Jing's side huffed and puffed and said: "These rich people, they don't even know art, relying on a few stinky money, they can easily change a male lead!"
"Wei!" Wu Jing glared at the assistant director.
"I'm speaking the truth." Who knew that Wayne wouldn't listen at all.
"Big Brother Wu, what's going on?" Shang Liang said in a serious tone, "Tell me about it."
"Younger Brother Shang, I've let you watch a joke." Only then did Wu Jing explain, "Originally, I was the one who directed the movie myself. Before it was filmed, I finally managed to get a production team to invest 100 million into it. However, when I was in Gambling City, the producer called me and asked for the famous Korean star Piao Chengqian to take the lead, or else I would withdraw my investment. "
"Let that sissy Piao Chengqian take the lead in your movie?" Shang Liang ridiculed, "Isn't this destroying classics!"
"That's right!" Wu Jing said mournfully, "I have also explained it to Zhang Ye, this is a movie that showcases the image of a tough guy in the Sky Dynasty. Whether it is in terms of temperament or appearance, Piao Chengqian is completely different from the male lead, but, Zhang Ye will not listen to any of your explanations!"
"Why did the production team suddenly think of changing the male lead?" Shang Liang frowned.
"Not really." Wu Jing shook his head, "I heard that a new CEO has joined the production company. This CEO is from Ha Han Sect, and thinks that Piao Chengqian is very famous in the continent, if he was used as a star, the box office would definitely be very high."
"Hmph, this Piao Chengqian is truly everywhere!" Shang Liang comforted her, "Big Brother Wu, don't be discouraged, it is only a mere 100 million and you have to withdraw your investment just like that. Do you remember what I told you last time at Gambling City? I'll invest in you! "
"And it's this number!" Shang Liang extended five fingers and said: "Five hundred million."
"500 million?" Wu Jing could not help but be shocked, and nodded repeatedly: "Enough, definitely enough!"
"Big Brother Wu, come to my company in a bit." Shang Liang said, "We will sign a contract on the spot to invest in you."
"Alright!" Wu Jing was pleasantly surprised.
Just then, a man wearing a suit walked over and said to Wu Jing: "Wu Jing, have you considered your options?"
Shang Liang asked: "Big Brother Wu, who is that person?"
Wu Jing replied: "He's Piao Chengqian's manager."
"So that's how it is." Shang Liang squinted his eyes and walked in front of Piao Chengqian's manager, saying: "Go back and tell your boss, Wu Jing's movie will continue shooting. However, the male lead will never change to Piao Chengqian, as for your 100 million, go whenever you want, laozi does not care! "
"You!" Having his face snatched white by Shang Liang, the manager looked extremely embarrassed. He extended his hand and pointed at Wu Jing, and shouted angrily: "Wu Jing, who is he?"
"My new investor, Shang Liang!" Wu Jing smiled and said, "He's the big boss, investing five hundred million to make a movie. He's much more generous than you guys!"
"500 million?" The broker gritted his teeth, "Bastard!"
After the manager left in a dejected manner, Shang Liang and Wu Jing went to their own company and held a grand investment signing ceremony. Actually, Shang Liang had his own reasons for doing so. After all, Wu Jing was a martial arts star, and had a high level of attention. Through this investment ceremony, he could garner the attention of the media, raise his own reputation, and increase his business contacts.
During the investment signing ceremony, when Shang Liang personally transferred 500 million of funds to Wu Jing, Piao Chengqian was sitting in a mansion located in Peng City, looking at the news report, he angrily threw the remote control, and spoke to his manager in rage: "Bastard, what did you say to me at the time, I guarantee that I would definitely replace Wu Jing, and become the male lead in this movie! "But now, look at how you did it, even the recipe was unable to do anything to him!"
The broker forced a smile, "I don't know either. Things were going well in the first place, how could something so bizarre suddenly happen!"
"Humph, Shang Liang, it's you again, bastard!" Piao Chengqian's face darkened as he muttered to himself faintly: "You think that just because you defeated the Las Vegas Gambling King in Gambling City, you are as rich as a nation? Filming is a game that burns money, I don't f * cking believe that the money you won at Gambling City can compare to my production method! "
After the investment ceremony ended, the system's announcement sounded out beside Shang Liang's ears: "Congratulations, you have completed the investment mission and received two hundred thousand Reputation Value. Your personal assets will double to six hundred million United States dollars!"
"1.6 billion dollars?" Shang Liang was overjoyed, "It's good to have money!"
