Chapter 135: Earn 700 million madly, exchange for director card
Of course, Tengqi Video Network is indeed a company owned by Penguin. It is indeed rich and powerful, and it actually agreed.
After the two parties signed the agreement, Yang Mi returned to the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2" with a huge sum of 240 million.
Seeing Yang Mi join the team with so much money, director Wu Jin was extremely happy. The mountain that had been weighing on his head was finally overthrown, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
With sufficient funds, Wu Jin had a new plan for a warehouse battle scene in "Wolf Warrior 2". The previous plan was somewhat disappointing.
So Wu Jin found Zhang Xiao, and the two discussed it together, and finally decided to make this scene twice as big. Dozens of tanks were transferred from the military region, as well as some missiles and so on.
The more weapons used in "Wolf Warrior 2", the more difficult it will be to shoot.
During the filming process, no matter where we were, injuries and bleeding were commonplace. Even Zhang Xiao, a kung fu master, had his back injured due to an explosive point detonating in advance and had to go to the hospital.
When Yang Mi saw the injured Zhang Xiao, she burst into tears of distress.
As a director, Wu Jin was embarrassed and kept apologizing to Yang Mi.
Although Yang Mi herself was on the crew and knew how difficult the filming conditions were, injuries and bleeding were common, so she didn't say much.
But Wu Jin is the director after all, and Zhang Xiao was injured, so he must be primarily responsible.
Doesn’t Zhang Xiao himself consider himself unlucky?
After all, the scene was so big that even the director couldn't cover everything. When Yang Mi fell asleep at night, Zhang Xiao spent 100,000 reputation points from the system to buy a healing pill.
Miraculously, his wounds began to scar the next day, which made the doctors at the hospital marvel.
On the third day, the injury was completely healed. Zhang Xiao was discharged from the hospital without saying anything and continued to devote himself to the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2".
No matter how Yang Mi, Wu Jin, Wu Gang and others persuaded him, Zhang Xiao was allowed to rest in the hospital for two more days.
But Zhang Xiao pulled up his clothes and let everyone take a look at his back, which was in perfect condition. The excuse he made at that time was that he practiced martial arts all year round, so all functions of his body were stronger than ordinary people, so he recovered quickly.
Although Wu Jin and others did not believe this, they did see that nothing happened to Zhang Xiao, so they were relieved to continue filming.
The other cast and crew members of "Wolf Warrior 2" saw that the investor and starring actor was working so hard, so they worked even harder during the subsequent filming process.
Time passes quickly.
While Zhang Xiao was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", "Latent" had already been broadcast on two TV stations for three consecutive weeks and ended successfully.
After calculation, the average ratings of the entire episode of "Latent" on Star TV reached 3.62, and the average ratings of "Latent" on Blue Whale TV reached 3.38!
According to the previous sharing agreement signed by both parties, Star TV needs to pay Zhang Xiao 10.6 million per episode, while Blue Whale TV needs to pay 9.8 million per episode.
In other words, there are a total of thirty episodes of "Latent". If added up, Zhang Xiao will receive a gross income of more than 600 million. After taking into account various taxes, there will be more than 400 million left.
If the income from online copyrights is included, Zhang Xiao's first-round income from the TV series "Latent" has reached nearly 700 million.
TV dramas usually have a second round, a third round, and even some classic TV dramas have a fourth round. Each round is worth money!
A TV series with only thirty episodes made nearly 700 million in the first round. Wu Jin was shocked.
Yang Mi was even more happy. The TV series her husband invested in and starred in was a great success. She was even happier and more excited than she was when she was successful.
And to say who is happiest, it is undoubtedly Zhang Xiao.
It's not because of his success with "Insidious", but because his reputation in the system has now reached 250 million.
Excited, Zhang Xiao opened the system's personal properties panel.
[Host: Zhang Xiao]
[Current reputation value: 250 million.]
[Skills: Master-level acting skills, Grandmaster-level Kung Fu skills, Master-level cooking skills, Master-level singing skills.]
[Item: None.]
Now that the system reputation value has exceeded 200 million, Zhang Xiao spent 100 million to exchange for master-level directing skills without saying a word, and spent another 150 million to upgrade his acting skills, reaching the level of god-level acting.
After improving his acting skills, Zhang Xiao felt as if countless things about acting were stuffed into his mind, and he almost fainted.
Emperors, soldiers, civilians, traders, bandits, lawyers, domineering presidents...
It covers almost all professional figures and is deeply ingrained in Zhang Xiao’s brain.
After his brain received all the information, Zhang Xiao recovered a little. He was so happy that he walked to the mirror and acted out all the characters in his mind.
Especially for some of the roles he has played before, such as Mei Changsu, Zhang Xiao is able to instantly transform his noble aura, Dong Xiaofeng's gangster aura, and Qin Shihuang's domineering aura.
In the past, every time Zhang Xiao received a role, he had to spend a long time to prepare, and during the performance, he would feel strenuous.
But now, after upgrading his acting skills to god-level acting skills, Zhang Xiao can get infinitely closer to this role just by reading the script and thinking about it.
In other words, if we talk about acting skills now, there is nothing Zhang Xiao can't do that he doesn't want to do.
"Husband, why are you looking so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" At this time, Yang Mi next to her asked with a worried look.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao burst out laughing, hugged Yang Mi's slender waist, and said, "No, I'm fine, I've never been better."
Yang Mi didn't believe it. She struggled out of Zhang Xiao's arms, touched his forehead, and asked suspiciously: "You couldn't be too excited because you made so much money, so you became nervous."
Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Honey, do you think I am such a superficial person?"
Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so she smiled and said, "Yes, my husband is the best."
"By the way, let me tell you something. Many TV stations are contacting me now and want to buy the second-round broadcast rights of "Latent". What do you say?"
Zhang Xiao waved his hand magnanimously and said: "This kind of matter, of course, is left to my leadership. It's up to you to decide. I don't care, just make your decision."
Chapter completed!
