Chapter 113
"You..."
Tong Tong Tong Liya rolled her beautiful eyes in anger and scolded huffily: "Why don't you just go die!"
Since her divorce, Tong Tong Tong Liya felt as if her nature had been liberated, and no one was gaslighting her anymore.
Being with Yu Mo was also very interesting.
Especially today, she had truly learned some new knowledge.
Especially this investment part—it was much more impressive than Chen Chen Chen Zhicheng. Back when *Detective Chinatown 1* needed tens of millions in investment, it was incredibly difficult.
But Yu Mo? He only used a few words to get 150 million; people were rushing to send him money.
"It seems that one must have their own value. As long as you are excellent enough, investment will never stop!"
Tong Tong Tong Liya exclaimed.
"Smart!" Yu Mo smiled: "It seems our Sister Ya Ya has learned quite a lot!"
"That's..." Tong Tong Tong Liya's pretty face flushed, but she still asked: "Then what are we doing next!"
What to do.
Yu Mo said calmly: "Just wait for the investment to arrive! Also, I'm going to meet Wu Jing later!"
"Meet Wu Jing?" Tong Tong Tong Liya frowned, not quite understanding.
This seemed to be an actor, but not particularly famous!
But Yu Mo said: "The copyright for the movie we're filming this time is in his hands, so I definitely have to find a way to get it. But that's after the money arrives!"
"Oh~" Tong Tong Tong Liya was half-understanding, but she still quickly asked: "Do you want me to go with you? To continue boosting the momentum?!!"
Yu Mo: "..."
Meanwhile, Li You and Qin Qin Qin Shaohua, who had already left.
The two had already boarded a Mercedes-Maybach and left the Jade Rabbit Media building!
On the way, Qin Qin Qin Shaohua finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister Li, are you crazy? You actually agreed to collaborate with Yu Mo to film a movie! What on earth are you thinking!"
But facing the confusion, Li You just smiled, mimicking Yu Mo's words: "How do you know Yu Mo will definitely fail?"
"This..." Qin Qin Qin Shaohua frowned: "I don't quite understand!"
Of course, Li You's thoughts were similar to Yu Mo's. After all, the company's original intention for this money was just to get the premiere copyright for his next drama.
And this was, in itself, a gamble.
What's more, Yu Mo's three dramas had already increased Youku's net profit by a full 2 billion!
2 billion! What is Yu Mo asking for 150 million compared to that!
"This is a win-win collaboration!"
"And didn't you notice? Yu Mo is truly excellent. Even though he's a newcomer, he's had three consecutive hit TV dramas. Just imagine, our intention for this money was to get his next film and television copyright!"
"As long as the copyright is in hand, we don't care what he uses the money for. Besides!"
"If Yu Mo's first movie is a hit, isn't that even more beneficial for our subsequent collaborations!"
"Is there any benefit to offending him!"
"This..."
Qin Qin Qin Shaohua was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Li You to consider things so comprehensively.
But thinking about it carefully, it did make sense.
Whatever, we want the copyright for the next drama. As for whether his movie succeeds or not, what does it matter?
If it succeeds, great. If it doesn't, anyway, the premiere copyright for the next drama is in hand, and the company can earn at least 600 million or more.
There's no need to worry about losing money at all!
On the contrary, if we offend him and don't continue to collaborate, Yu Mo would lose at most tens of millions in copyright fees.
Here, we're talking about hundreds of millions. It's not worth it!
Therefore, thinking this through, he looked up and smiled: "I understand!"
"However..." Soon, he frowned again and couldn't help but say: "Our previous budget was 100 million, now it's 150 million. Will it..."
Unexpectedly, Li You waved her hand, not caring: "Don't worry, I'll handle this. As Vice President, I have that much authority. We can't let go of Yu Mo, this cash cow!"
"Oh, now he's not just a cash cow! He's with Yang Mi, Zhao Zhao Zhao Liying, Tong Tong Tong Liya, and Watching Watching Reba! Such a combination will truly monopolize the entire costume Xianxia drama market in the future!"
Costume Xianxia drama? ...
She was thinking too simply.
Yu Mo didn't just want a costume drama.
Besides movie scripts, he also had scripts like *The Human World* and *The Knockout*, which were phenomenal hits.
Not to mention *The Shawshank Redemption*, which was hailed as the highest-rated movie globally.
It's just that, well, for *The Shawshank Redemption*, Yu Mo naturally had the qualifications to be the lead.
But as for the others, it wouldn't work yet. After all, Yu Mo didn't have that many acting cards!
So the current focus was still on domestic movies—*Wolf Warrior 2*!
Soon, over the next two days, Yu Mo completed the script for *Wolf Warrior 2*.
At the same time, Youku transferred the 150 million!
Yu Mo was relieved to have the money.
Actually, well, he thought that if he put it all into stocks.
Tsk tsk, 150 million in *TS1* stocks, he could cash out 15 billion later!
But here's the point: have you ever seen a retail investor make such a high stock investment?
So, one should still be low-key. Invest a few tens of millions and add to it gradually.
Investing so much at once might lead to some unpredictable changes.
Yu Mo was just such a cautious person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cautious when filming movies and TV dramas, only making slight changes.
Anyway, he knew the future of these movies.
Just this money alone was enough to earn tens of billions!
A billionaire in his 20s? Heh, that's already very cool!
Walking sideways in the entertainment industry is no problem at all!
When the time comes, find a few more '95-generation starlets and other top stars. How delightful.
Hmm, off-topic!
Meanwhile, Wu Jing was still living in an ordinary suburban villa in Kyoto. The price of this villa was only 20 million!
For Wu Jing five years later, this naturally wouldn't count for much!
But for him now, it was the limit.
Of course, as an action star who had debuted since his teens, there were truly fewer and fewer opportunities for him in the entertainment industry now.
Originally, filming the *Special Forces* series had brought him quite a bit of income.
But ever since he invested heavily to film *Wolf Warrior 1*, he had lost almost everything. In the past few years, if it weren't for the fact that
he had been filming military-themed subjects, leading to support from the military, he would have bled out from the losses.
His wife, Xie Nan, saw it all. Although she wanted to help, she was powerless.
Xie Nan was a host by trade. Her figure and looks were naturally top-tier. Even after having a child, she didn't have much of a "married woman" feel and still looked like a young girl.
But upon learning that Wu Jing still wanted to film a second one, even she couldn't help but advise: "Wu Jing, don't consider a second one. Do you know how much savings we have left? Fifty-something million... this is already all our assets~"
How could one dare to think about a movie investment without 100 or 200 million!
Wu Jing knew it too, but he wasn't reconciled. He had been a supporting actor his whole life. Now that he had filmed a movie, although the profit and loss were about the same, he had the experience of the first time, and he felt he would definitely succeed this time.
Therefore, he said to Xie Nan: "Believe me, we will definitely succeed this time. I have a premonition that the movie craze has already begun in the country. As long as we seize this opportunity, we really have a chance to enter the top ranks of the industry!"
