Director, please respect yourself

[Yang Hao, thank you!

Starting at 3 p.m., it has only been 5 hours. Originally, the horror thriller movie "Split", which has not attracted much attention in China, has already exceeded 105 million yuan in pre-sale box office. 】

At 8:00 in the evening, when Yang Hao came out of the Sapporo Prince Hotel, he was about to find a nearby izakaya to have a glass of sake and some barbecue, when he received a text message from Han Shanye.

This guy may have learned from Yang Hao that when talking about serious business, he usually communicates through text messages. Because when the two parties have a dispute, text messages can be used as evidence, but recordings have certain limitations.

Seeing the text message sent by Han Shanye, Yang Hao smiled easily and replied.

[Mr. Han, you’re welcome.

If the movie "Split" sells well, my income will increase, so in a sense, helping you is actually helping myself.

Oh, right.

Who is the human shield you are looking for? 〕

Human shield is what Yang Hao calls people who stand up to bear the thunder. He wants to stand up and express opinions that are different from others, and he wants to become the target of tens of millions of netizens.

[Yang Hao, didn’t you go online and take a look? 】

As soon as Yang Hao's text message was sent, he received a rhetorical reply from Han Shanye.

〔No. 〕

To tell the truth, Yang Hao hung up the phone from Han Shanye in the hotel room in the afternoon and immediately got busy.

The main thing was to contact Thomas Tull and ask him about Legendary Pictures' Oscar operation in Hollywood, the United States. Whether the movie "Gone Girl" can win at the Oscars ceremony to be held next month, firstly, it depends on the quality of the movie itself. , the second is to rely on the operation of film distribution companies, both are indispensable.

【No…】

【That's a pity.

Yang Hao, let me tell you, the major domestic portals are so lively today. Tens of millions of netizens and more than 10 so-called public intellectuals are debating non-stop, and even starting a scolding war.

And their debate instantly pushed our movie into a hot search. It is precisely because of taking advantage of this popularity that "Split" received such high pre-sale box office. 】

[Everyone knows..., who are they? 〕

Eh…

Looking at the lists sent by Han Shanye, Yang Hao sighed secretly. Sure enough, it was still the same group of ghosts and monsters.

Of course, exposing them in advance would at least reduce their ability to influence public opinion to some extent in the future.

[Yang Hao, there is something I want to remind you.

The conflict of public opinion in China over whether your movie "Split" is suitable for release at this time has now attracted considerable attention from international media, such as the Asahi Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun. There are reports.

And you are currently traveling in Hokkaido where you were a child. I advise you to pay attention to safety when you go out. 】

[Okay, thank you, Mr. Han! 〕

After expressing his gratitude to Han Shanye, Yang Hao put his mobile phone in his pocket, then turned around and entered an izakaya called [Yakitori] on the street.

…………

In the small days, [Yakitori] actually means grilled chicken skewers. Many local office workers in Sapporo will come over after work in the evening to order a few barbecue skewers, and then drink a few glasses of sake to eliminate the fatigue of the day. .

The izakaya culture of my childhood is that customers come in from outside, find a seat and sit down, and then the store will first serve a few side dishes, and these side dishes are usually free.

Yang Hao was lucky. He had just found a suitable seat by the window. An old man with gray hair but very clean clothes brought him mixed jellyfish, mixed kelp shreds, crispy radish and cabbage hearts. .

These four side dishes are basically Yang Hao's favorite.

The wine is sake, which can be found everywhere in izakayas in Sapporo. Regarding this, Yang Hao is not particular. He can drink Maotai, Niulanshan Erguotou, and the sake of his childhood.

Raising his hand, Yang Hao pointed to the menu hanging on the wall. He was about to tell the old waiter, bring me 5 skewers of grilled chicken hearts, 5 skewers of grilled squid, and 5 skewers of grilled chicken wings. The woman who was feeling cold came in from outside the izakaya. After entering, she stood at the door and took a look, then ran towards Yang Hao and sat across from him.

"Director, what do you want to order? Please also order some barbecue skewers for me. Well, I like to eat tender ones."

The visitor was not very polite. He sat down, put his bag on the chair next to him, and then opened the bottle of sake on the table, poured a glass for Yang Hao, and then poured another glass for himself.

"Did you get here quickly?"

Yang Hao was not surprised to see Yinghuang's top manager Huo Wenxi here, because when Yi Xun Chen and Liu Jialing met Wang Fei in Sapporo, they called Xie Tingfeng and told him to come immediately. Hokkaido.

Huo Wenxi and Xie Tingfeng basically hang out together every day. Now that Xie Tingfeng has arrived, Huo Wenxi will naturally arrive too.

But Yang Hao didn't expect that Huo Wenxi would come to him as soon as possible.

"Of course it's very fast. The direct flight from Beijing to Sapporo only takes three hours. When Tingfeng received Eason's call, we had just finished our trip in Beijing and were about to fly to Yangcheng for a road show, so we simply changed our route and came here."

After looking at Yang Hao, Huo Wenxi smiled faintly, took out a bank card from her pocket and put it on the table.

"What?" Yang Haoli asked while writing his order.

"Money, to be precise, is the bonus given to you by our boss Yang. The box office of the movie "Hooligans" exceeded 460 million, making him a huge profit.

Therefore, when he knew that I would come to Hokkaido to see you, he asked me to hand over this bank card to you. "

"How much is in it?"

Yang Hao asked as he handed the written menu to the waiter behind him.

"8 million yuan."

"Oh, I understand, please help me thank Boss Yang."

Yang Hao responded, picked up the bank card from the table, and put it into his pocket.

"Uh..., no."

Perhaps it was because Yang Hao collected money so neatly that Huo Wenxi was a little confused.

"Director, why don't you be humble and give in?

Or learn directly from Director Jiang Wen. Last year, our boss Yang offered him a bonus, but he was so domineering that not only did he not want the bonus, but he also gave our boss Yang 8 million. "

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this allusion, Yang Hao smiled brightly.

"Miss Huo, I am different from Director Jiang Wen. He has a kind of pride in his bones. You invest money when I make a movie because you think highly of me, so I must reward you.

But I am different. I am basically a money-minded person. Even if there is a dollar on the roadside, I have to pick it up, wipe it clean, and put it in my pocket..."

"Well, director, I understand you very much. The main reason is that you have many women and need money."

Before Yang Hao finished speaking, Huo Wenxi complained with a smile.
