Chapter 305 - Chapter 305 Chapter 305 Comparing Yourself to Others Will Only

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Comparing Yourself to Others Will Only Make You Miserable! Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Comparing Yourself to Others Will Only Make You Miserable! Actually, ten million in copyright fees isn’t much, but Wang Hao knew his own situation–his fame just wasn’t big enough yet!

Otherwise, for the game rights of this film, you wouldn’t even talk if it’s not more than twenty million!

But it’s okay to take a little loss, get this film hot first, and everything else will be easier afterward, right?

Mr. Xu: “…”

Tong Tong: “…”

The ignorant secretary, feasting on melon seeds: “…”

Other people raise the price by ten million and you still act as if you’re taking such a big loss?!

“Deal!” Seeing Wang Hao agree, Boss Yang was like he had found a treasure, clapping Wang Hao on the shoulder hard, “I know as a big brother I took advantage of you, but rest assured, if you have any good stuff in the future, just come directly to me, I promise you won’t lose out! Come on, no matter what today, the seafood feast is on me, let’s go!”

Mr. Xu: “…”

Tong Tong: “…”

The ignorant secretary, feasting on melon seeds: “…”

Holy shit, so he still took advantage of someone?! Are we not living in the same world?!

“What are you spacing out for?” Boss Yang looked at the few dazed people and said, “It’s already noon, let’s get moving!”

Tong Tong and the others followed out in a daze, and just before leaving the door, Mr. Xu slapped the secretary on the back so hard he almost flew out, “We’re all young people, how can there be such a big gap?!”

Tong Tong saw so much cold sweat on her forehead today!

She had gone through so much trouble just to barely get Mr. Xu to agree to a two million investment, and then here’s Wang Hao, casually getting thirty million! Not only that, but this guy actually knows Boss Yang!

You know, she had sought out Boss Yang several times before, and he never had time for her!

“This world of people…” graduated with a Master’s in Economics from Zhonghai University, the high-achieving student shrugged helplessly: “Really can’t compare, can you!”

While walking downstairs, Wang Hao asked Boss Yang, “Brother Yang, I have a friend who plays your company’s game, can you hook us up with some good equipment, hehe.”

“Your friend plays this?” Boss Yang looked at Wang Hao with amusement and whispered, “I’ll get you something when I have time, but we must keep it secret!”

Wang Hao: “Deal!”

And then he immediately took out his phone, “Where’s Long Yi, where’s Long Yi?”

Long Yi: “Brother Hao, what’s happening?”

Wang Hao: “Guess who I met?”

Long Yi: “Who?”

Wang Hao: “The boss of Chaotic World company, Boss Yang! Heheheh!”

Long Yi: “Dad, can you get me some equipment!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Wang Hao: “Scram! Get it with your own money!”

…

After having lunch with Boss Yang, Tong Tong was still feeling shattered on the way back.

It had to be said, the blow she had taken today was indeed a bit big…

She had run around like crazy for over a week, finally getting in touch with a company willing to spend money. And she thought she would overcome it today, but then…

“Teacher Tong,” Wang Hao had no idea what Tong Tong was thinking, he was still puzzled, “What’s wrong? You seem so unhappy?”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Tong Tong was speechless–did this guy really not know, or what?

She couldn’t help but think of that saying: “You only see some people shining on the surface, but you have no idea, behind the scenes, their life is just as smooth sailing…”

Comparing people is a surefire way to kill your joy!

The moment they arrived at the film set, from a distance, the production coordinator Chen Li and other crew members came to greet them. As soon as Tong Tong and Wang Hao got out of the car, Chen Li promptly asked, “Teacher Tong, how did it go, was fundraising going smoothly over there?”

Tong Tong listlessly shook her head–she had received quite a blow today…

Instantly, the Kung Fu film crew began murmuring among themselves–

“Sigh, looking at that expression, it’s probably bad news again, definitely didn’t secure the funding!”

“That’s for sure, these days just mentioning money gives everyone a headache, even Teacher Tong couldn’t manage it…”

“Let it be, if it really comes down to it, we’ll just wait longer, after all, we still have enough money for now.”

Hearing the discussions of the few, Tong Tong covered her face with a hand, “I did manage to secure funding, but…”

“But what?” Chen Li eagerly asked, “Is the amount too small? It’s okay, Teacher Tong, our crew isn’t burning through money that fast. In fact, these past few days we hardly spent anything on our sets!”

“It’s not too little,” Tong Tong sighed heavily, looking at Wang Hao with a strangely complicated gaze, “It’s too much. For specifics, you should ask Wang Hao. I’m really too tired. I need to go rest…”

Watching Tong Tong’s somewhat bleak back, Chen Li was utterly confused, scratching his head, “What on earth happened?” Then he pulled Wang Hao aside and started asking, “Little Wang, what’s going on? Was Teacher Tong… taken advantage of under the table?!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Under the table your sister, with me around how could I let her be taken advantage of?!

“How could that be,” Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders, decisively blabbering away, “Just so happens that I know that company CEO, we negotiated quite successfully. Ah, you don’t know, Teacher Tong is truly a master’s degree graduate from Zhonghai University. She gave that guy a talk, about IP! Do you guys know what IP is? That’s called a cross-platform pan-entertainment strategy. My goodness, she baffled the CEO so much, he agreed right there on the spot, twenty million!”

“How… how much?!” Chen Li and others almost bugged out their eyes, “Twenty million! Little Wang, I’m not so educated, you better not be fooling me, are you sure you didn’t add an extra zero?!”

“Damn, why would I lie to you about this?” Wang Hao looked at him as if he were an alien, “You doubt Teacher Tong’s abilities?”

Chen Li: “…”

“Yeehaw!” Several members huddled together, shouting in jubilation, “Hahaha! Awesome! Twenty million investment! Unbeatable!”

Producing a TV series is a money-burning venture anyway, everything else is easy to handle except for not having enough money!

Now that Wang Hao and Tong Tong had turned the situation around with a single trip and secured twenty million… Saying it out loud sounded almost too fantastical, didn’t it?

While the group was happily chatting, suddenly a member of the film crew hurried over, and upon spotting Wang Hao, he rushed up to him, grabbing his hand, “Brother Hao, I finally found you, come quick, Director Yang is looking for you!”

What’s going on now?

The group looked at each other and nodded, “Let’s go, let’s check it out!”

They headed to the filming location. As soon as they arrived, they saw Director Yang pacing around anxiously. When he caught sight of Wang Hao, his eyes lit up, he quickly walked over and said, “Little Wang, you’re finally here!” Then he pulled Wang Hao aside and spoke softly, “Boss Ren has been addicted to playing the role of Ren Woxing, the great villain of the Demon Sect, clamoring every day about the ‘Absorbing Stars Skill’! Oh my heavens, where am I supposed to come up with that?”

Wang Hao was also stunned, and asked, “Seriously? Uncle Er actually plans on playing Ren Woxing? I mean, no offense, but while his height is fine and his face is passable, look at his belly… how is he supposed to play Ren Woxing?”

At the mention of this, Yang Shoulin was quite frustrated.

As a director, wasn’t he aware of the situation?

With Boss Ren’s belly, having him play a bloated supporting role is no issue, but Ren Woxing…

That is supposed to be the leader of the Demon Sect!

If we actually shoot it, with his belly looking like he’s eight months pregnant, could the audience accept that?!

“Of course, I know that,” Yang Shoulin said helplessly, “but you also know what Boss Ren does, right? A coal tycoon! Lately, there’s been some overcapacity in the coal industry, so he’s been idle every day and likes to tinker with this project… But you know, he’s the investor, if we tell him to play the role, there’s the big belly issue. If we don’t let him, then he won’t be happy. Little Wang, you have a better relationship with him. Could you maybe talk to him for us? Otherwise, if we keep going on like this, it’s like throwing money away like water!”

As soon as Yang Shoulin said this, had it been an ordinary day, everyone would certainly have heaved sighs.

But at this moment, Chen Li was serenely confident, smiling, “Director Yang, no need to worry, we’ve got some great news today!”

“What good news?” The moment Yang Shoulin saw Chen Li’s smile, he knew it was something positive and then it dawned on him, “Secured more investments?! How much?”

“This much!” Chen Li stretched out two fingers, “Guess?”

“Two million?” Yang Shoulin exclaimed, “That’s not bad! With these two million, our crew could film for another month without worrying about funds!”

“You must be joking,” Chen Li was now bursting with pride, “Twenty million! A whole twenty million! With this money, if you’re not up to it, Director Yang, you can just accommodate Boss Ren for a bit. If he becomes happy, it’s not impossible he could add another one or two million in investments!”
