The people in the banquet hall drank each other's wines, not knowing that a fight had just taken place here.

Ander regained his gentle temperament as a pharmaceutical tycoon, wandering the banquet hall and smiling with everyone. It's just that in the depths of Ande's eyes, there is a trace of darkness buried, and he has just learned about Wang Yong's sneak attack on the leader.

"If it weren't for the leader's body being too young, how could you be the leader's opponent!The summer worm can't speak of ice, and the well frog doesn't know the depth of the sea!When the leader frees his hand, you will definitely die!"

"Dear Ender, what are you talking to yourself all about?" asked Karl, as he walked over.

Ander quickly changed his expression and said, "It's nothing, it's a bit too much to drink." ”

"Yes, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Wang Yong and I still have a little thing to discuss, so we can't drink too much. There will be a chance to see you again. Karl waved at Ander and turned to leave.

At the door of the banquet hall, a person leaned on the pillars, bored.

It was Wang Yong.

Wang Yong's eyes happened to come in, and they collided with Ande's gaze.

Wang Yong smiled silently, but his smile contained a strong sense of warning.

Ander did not show weakness, and also smiled extremely exaggerated and cold.

The two people who know each other are a little jealous, and they are both a little unwilling.

The scene became very strange for a while.

Karl walked up to Wang Yong and asked strangely, "Do you have a grudge against Mr. Ender?"

Wang Yong smiled: "How come? I smiled at him very happily!"

"There may also be a stinger in the smile. Karl replied with an English proverb, which meant a lot.

"However, if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. I've always been stingy with my friends. Carl patted Wang Yong on the shoulder and said again.

These words are undoubtedly expressing his attitude to Wang Yong: Carl is on Wang Yong's side.

"Thank you. Me too. Wang Yong smiled and left hand in hand with Carl.

The two also signed a contract to set up a Huaxia Academy in Europe.

An hour later, Carl and Wang Yong not only discussed all the details, but also signed the contract. Even Carl took the initiative to say that he wanted to inject money into Wang Yong's movie, because he was very optimistic about the box office of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In Carr's words, the Habsburgs' business sense has lasted for hundreds of years and rarely goes wrong.

Wang Yong naturally couldn't ask for it. Originally, Wang Yong thought that he was on top.

The next day, the news of Wang Yong's cooperation with Carl in running a school was officially announced. It has once again caused a media uproar.

People who were originally not optimistic about Wang Yong's Huaxia Academy, because of the addition of the Habsburg family, instantly changed their tone and thought that the Huaxia Academy had a high chance of success.

After all, the words Habsburg family represent a heavy weight in the whole West.

Regarding various issues related to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Roland and Chen Kai also held a press conference.

This is the first official press conference of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" crew since its establishment, so it has attracted many world media.

At the meeting, the first question raised by many reporters was that the directors' union bluntly said that it was impossible for the whole film to maintain the quality of the pilot film, because the investment in that quality would be astronomical. What does Director Roland think about this?

Roland and Chen Kai glanced at each other, this question was asked yesterday, and they might still be perfunctory.

But today, that's not a coincidence. They can say with great confidence - not bad money!

"The amount of investment we invested in the whole film is-" Roland smiled slightly, pausing deliberately.

The reporter subconsciously leaned forward, wanting to hear the number that Roland was going to say next.

"$350 million!"

Roland's words came out, instantly causing an uproar among all the reporters at the scene.

"Did I hear me right? 350 million?"

"Oh my God, this is the highest movie in Hollywood history, isn't it? Roland isn't bragging, is he?"

"Not the highest. The Pirates of the Caribbean series is much higher than that. ”

"Big brother, it's a series of movies, and it's just a single movie!

"Hmph, it's just a budget, and you can't say how much investment you can get in the end. ”

There was a small argument among the reporters in the audience, but the last reporter's words were approved by many people.

The budget of the film and the actual investment are two different things, for example, the original budget of Caribbean 5 was 400 million US dollars, but it was cut in half during the filming. Even if the budget investment of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is 1 billion, it has little to do with the final investment.

Who doesn't know how to blow the cowhide! It's just that it's just being ridiculed by others, at least the gimmick in the early stage has earned enough.

The reporters have already identified the crew of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as hype.

Roland, who was accustomed to dealing with reporters, knew what these people were thinking just by looking at the faces of the reporters.

However, Roland didn't care at all, but smiled at the reporters with slightly contemptuous expressions.

After a while, Roland slowly said the second sentence: "At eight o'clock this morning, the investment of 350 million US dollars was all received. Therefore, the production cost of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not a budget, but real money. ”

"What?" all the reporters were shocked, and the voice recorder and other tools in their hands almost fell to the ground.

It was directly credited to the account!

In other words, the crew of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" really has 350 million US dollars!

"It's terrible, Wang Yong is going to rob the bank? 350 million US dollars! Changing into paper money is enough to crush the whole house of us!"

"Big production, finally another big production. I think all the celebrities in the world can't wait at this moment, right?

"350 million is indeed enough to ensure that the quality of the whole film is not inferior to the pilot. In this way, I have a lot of expectations for this oriental magic-style movie. ”

"I don't think a big production will necessarily have a big box office. Have you forgotten that there was also an exotic movie in Hollywood that collapsed in the sand, and that movie almost dragged Fox to the brink of bankruptcy!"

The reporters all nodded.

In 1960, Fox made a movie called "Cleopatra" and invested 40 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 340 million US dollars at the time of prices. And it was such a big-budget movie that suffered the biggest Waterloo in Hollywood film history, not only did it not recover its costs, but it also lost five million dollars, almost bankrupting Fox.

"Cleopatra" has a certain similarity with "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", both of which are the background of the ancient civilization world that Western audiences are not familiar with. From this, it seems that we can see the tragic future of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"I don't think it's fair to compare Cleopatra with the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Chen Kai heard the reporter's words and took the microphone and said. "The world is changing, it's not the '60s, and Western audiences are much more receptive to exotic films than they used to be. And you journalists seem to have forgotten one thing, just this year's Chinese box office successfully broke through the 50 billion yuan mark, becoming the second largest box office after the North American box office. Countless people predict that within three years, the throne of the world's No. 1 box office will give way to China. I still have full confidence in the attractiveness of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to the Chinese market. ”

"......" The reporters were speechless for a moment.

After a while, a reporter muttered, "You guys are cheating!"

This remark won the approval of many reporters.

Indeed, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is simply cheating! Originally, even if this movie is Chinese style, not many people may pay for it. But when one person is involved, the audience suddenly becomes unprecedentedly wide.

That person is Wang Yong.

Wang Yong's appeal in China is simply terrifying, and he can be called the most prestigious star scholar in China. At that time, Wang Yong will shout, how many Chinese people will enter the cinema?

It is not impossible to surpass the glory of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Roland and Chen Kai looked at each other and smiled, judging from the expressions of these reporters, today's press conference was undoubtedly successful.

At the end of the press conference, almost all the media used such a title - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", a cheating big-budget movie.

There are three cheating points listed by the media.

The first is to invite Roland out of the mountain, and with the assistance of Chen Kai, a director known as the first in oriental aesthetics.

Second, the investment is directly put in place, and there is no need to consider the issue of capital at all. And if all the $350 million is spent on film production, it will be the first investment in history.

The third is that the producer's name is Wang Yong. With this name, the Chinese movie box office was basically booked in advance.

With the accumulation of these three points, it is difficult for "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to fail. Unless the whole crew is stupider than a pig and the things made can't be looked at directly. But it's impossible to think about it, Roland is not a rookie director, and his ability to direct monster movies is unmatched in the whole of Hollywood, how can there be such a tragic situation?

Because of the media's rendering, the three words "Classic of Mountains and Seas" quickly swept the entertainment circles of various countries.

At this moment, whether it is the crew's phone, or the private mobile phones of Roland and Chen Kai, or even Wang Yong's mobile phone, they have all been blown up.

Countless celebrities or celebrities' agents called, with a humble attitude, and proposed to participate in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Among them, there are many Oscar-level figures.

Wang Yong just declined the request of several big names in the Chinese entertainment industry, and called again in a blink of an eye.

Wang Yong glanced at the caller ID with a headache and wanted to hang up.

only to find out that it was Yin Xia calling.

"Hey, Yin Xia. Wang Yong connected.

It was not Yin Xia's voice from the other side, but a man's voice with a hint of girlishness.

"Teacher Wang, I'm Xiaobai! Xia Xia's agent, don't you remember me?"

Wang Yong coughed dryly: "Remember, how can you not remember?"

"Teacher Bai, what are you doing? What are you doing with my mobile phone? Did you call Teacher Wang? Give me back! I said I can't embarrass Teacher Wang!" Yin Xia's voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by a sound of snatching.

"Yin Xia, is it you, don't rob it, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Wang Yong hurriedly said.

"Did you hear that, Xia Xia. Teacher Wang said it's okay, what are you shy about! Teacher Wang, I want to ask if our crew is still short of actresses? In fact, Xia Xia is quite talented in acting, and she won the first prize at the city's kindergarten party!"

"Oh, what are you talking about, Lao Bai! I'm angry if you do this again! I'm so angry......"

Wang Yong listened to the noise on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I understand." Teacher Bai, don't make trouble, Yin Xia, don't be angry. In the matter of the crew and actors, I have always implemented a standard: as long as it is suitable for "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", those who come will not refuse; if it is not suitable, no one will take it in vain. Yin Xia really wanted to act, so he tried out the camera remotely. Director Roland and Director Chen Kai passed, and I didn't have any problems. ”

"Great, Xia Xia! Even if you mix up the role of a vase, you can earn it!" Teacher Bai said excitedly.

"No, if I want to act, I will act seriously, not mix. In addition, you are not allowed to reveal to the crew of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that I am a student of Teacher Wang. If I really can't do it, Director Roland won't miss me, and if I can't, forcibly joining will only recruit Mr. Wang and affect the quality of the movie. I can't be sorry Mr. Wang. Yin Xia's tone became extremely solemn and said.

"Uh-huh, people know. Hurry up and put on makeup, let's go to Director Roland to audition now!" Teacher Bai didn't know if he really listened to it or faked it, so he urged him vigorously.

Yin Xia said goodbye to Wang Yong helplessly and hung up the phone.

What Wang Yong didn't expect was that in just an hour, Roland called.

"You have a student named Yin Xia?"
