Zhang Linzhi tried very hard to distinguish the authenticity of the two US dollars, but she really couldn't tell at all. Wu Haoshen had even provided her with a special money detector and a high-powered magnifying glass, but she still couldn't tell at all.
"How much does it cost to make one?”
" 600 US dollars. A total of 20,000 copies will be produced. They will all have special numbers and will be specially packaged. The selling price is tentatively set at 1,000 US dollars, so we have no intention of relying on this to make a profit for ourselves.
We just want to be friends and let all the movie fans in the world see the hard work and sincerity of my crew in order to make a good movie.”
Alright, Zhang Linzhi's enthusiasm for US dollars immediately dissipated. She originally thought that Wu Haoshen was supported by a counterfeit group and involved a huge black chain of interests. Now, it turned out that she was overthinking.
It wasn't difficult to spend several times the cost to make counterfeit money. The Japanese yen was the currency with the least counterfeit money in the world. It wasn't that the craftsmanship of the Japanese yen was very difficult, but the cost of making the Japanese yen was slightly higher than the face value, so if you wanted to imitate it, you could do so. Anyway, the loss wouldn't be the Japanese government. This was their open scheme.
Spending six times the cost to make counterfeit money was really something that no one would care about. No fool would do such a loss-making business, so this thing was a craft.
However, there would definitely be people who would pay for it. As long as the movie was popular enough and caused a heated discussion, many people who were not short of money would buy it as a souvenir. At the same time, it would also help promote the movie worldwide. This was a very powerful marketing strategy.
After confirming that Musou was going to be a hit, Zhang Linzhi was not willing to miss out on the role of Ruan Wen. She sat on Wu Haoshen's lap and threatened him,""Director Wu, I really like this role. Can you give me a chance?
We're family from now on. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. You've already asked, so how can I reject you? I don't want a divorce. I like my life now. You have to help me. I'm counting on you.”
It's not impossible to give it to you, but you have to promise me that in the future, other than your husband, there won't be any other man other than me.
In front of others, you're a good wife and mother. You're one of the best women in the industry and a good daughter-in-law in the country. Later on, I'll specially promote you in the mainland and even arrange for you to appear on some parent-child programs.
However, you are my secret lover.
Don't worry, after you follow me, I won't mistreat you. Moreover, you can return to your peak and continue to be a big star. You can even earn more money and salary. Not to mention more, I can still guarantee that you will get one or two hundred million yuan a year.”
That's true. If she really got a sudden divorce, a large number of paparazzi would definitely find out the truth. Once it was exposed, she would become a street rat. When that time came, her image would be ruined, and what commercial value would there be?
Wu Haoshen was talented, capable, and scheming in all aspects. Now, he had Yang Yongqing under his thumb and even indirectly controlled Huo Wenjin, the head butler of Emperor Entertainment.
After understanding everything, Zhang Linzhi nodded.
Wu Haoshen called his assistant, Lee Xue, and asked her to bring Zhang Jingchu in for the audition.
Zhang Jingchu had a smooth life in the port circle. In recent years, she had good resources. She naturally had a natural sense of closeness with Wu Haoshen, a fellow villager from the mainland. She had specially asked him out before, but he had rejected all of them.
She already knew that the second female lead would be Li Huanhuan and the third female lead would be Zhao Huanhuan, so she felt that she had a great chance this time, especially since she was the last one to attend the final interview.
Wu Haoshen was very serious with Zhang Jingchu. He only asked some serious questions and discussed the role and script. He didn't make any requests.
"Director Wu, it's getting late. Why don't I treat you to dinner? I have a lot of opinions about Ruan Wen's character. I know a good gallery nearby.”
"Good suggestion, but as a director, you need to avoid suspicion before the role is confirmed. I'm not that kind of person.
Jing Chu, you have good qualities and I have high praise for you. I will talk to the investors later and finally decide who will play Ruan Wen. After all, she is the first female lead and the most important role in the entire movie.”
Zhang Jingchu didn't think too much about it and could only leave with a regretful expression. She already had a premonition that her chances were not high. It wasn't that Wu Haoshen was trying to shirk his responsibility. Besides, he couldn't really make the decision. At least, he couldn't do anything about a female lead like Ruan Wen.
After confirming that Zhang Linzhi was going to play Ruan Wen, the production team of Peerless was complete and could officially start filming.
In fact, Zhang Linzhi did not satisfy Wu Haoshen, but she was the only one who was suitable in all aspects. At least she had a lot of attributes that Wu Haoshen liked, and she had more commercial value.
His wife's comeback, Ting Feng, this husband, naturally had to come and support her. Recently, Ai Disheng had gone overseas directly. It seemed that something had happened, but he couldn't see him for the time being.
Although Ting Feng did not like Wu Haoshen, the talented director who had suddenly appeared, his agent, Huo Wenjin, had repeatedly emphasized the importance of Wu Haoshen to Emperor Entertainment. Therefore, Ting Feng was now taking the initiative to build a good relationship with Wu Haoshen and even agreed to make a guest appearance in " Musou " for free.
The opening ceremony was held at the West Dragon Police Station, which had appeared in many classic Hong Kong films. Because the traffic here was convenient and accessible, it was very suitable for filming. It also took up a lot of space in the movie, so the shooting was finally chosen at the entrance of the police station.
As a talented director, Wu Haoshen was naturally the focus of media attention. During the opening ceremony, he was surrounded by a group of reporters, wanting to know more gossip from him.
"You mean Miss Yang? I'm friends with her, and she's also the producer of Peerless. We've worked very well together. You're talking about those rumors…I can't explain this either. After all, there are too many rumors about me now, and I don't even know which one to believe.”
Huo Wenjin narrowed her eyes as she looked at Wu Haoshen, who was talking to a group of reporters. She was not happy that Wu Haoshen had the information, but she could not find a way to settle the score with him.
After being drugged and thrown on the yacht, she floated in the international waters for a few days before he went into hiding overseas. He was not stupid, so he understood Huo Wenjin's purpose. She was trying to teach him a lesson, but she was also trying to protect him.
Ting Feng, who had just finished taking a photo with his wife, came up to Huo Wenjin and asked,""Sister Mary, why did you let Linzhi take the role? The child is still so young. How can we leave her?”
Naturally, Huo Wenjin did not know when those photos were taken. After all, Zhang Linzhi had indeed dated Eden before, so she did not think that the child was not Ting Feng's.
She could not tell him the truth. Huo Wenjin even suspected that Zhang Linzhi was being controlled by Wu Haoshen. However, if she exposed him, Wu Haoshen would probably do something to her directly. After all, she did not have anything on Wu Haoshen. She really did have something that Wu Haoshen could use against her.
Huo Wenjin was still the same as before. She tried to persuade him like a big sister,""Tingfeng, you have to consider Linzhi too. She's only 27 years old now, and it's the most important period for a female artiste.
She sacrificed a lot for you to get married and have children. This opportunity is so rare. Xiangsheng and Xiangtai have personally come forward. Do you want her to reject it?”
Hearing Huo Wenjin's words, Ting Feng felt that his wife had sacrificed a lot for him and the family. He should not be so selfish and treat his wife better.
On the other hand, Shuang Bing was mainly communicating with the mainland media. The media in Hong Kong was not interested in them. If it were not for Wu Haoshen's many topics and his big budget, those people would not be interested in him either. None of the directors from the mainland had succeeded in the Hong Kong industry.
After everything was ready, the shooting ceremony officially began. Wu Haoshen and producer Yang Yongqing held a sharp butcher knife and began the most common cutting of the roast pig ceremony in the port area. They cut open the pig's head directly, indicating that the shooting would be smooth sailing.
As the heiress of Emperor Entertainment, Yang Yongqing was naturally very forthright and generous. She directly invited the reporters present to eat and gave each of them red packets and small gifts. The media would naturally report all kinds of positive reports to give face to her and Emperor Entertainment.
As one of the major shareholders of Emperor Entertainment, Chen Long, the big brother of the film industry, also appeared at this time with Emperor Entertainment Chairman Yang Shoucheng and Yongsheng's boss, Xiang Laoshi. They also took a photo with Fa Ge, Chengcheng, Wu Haoshen, and Yang Yongqing.
The three of them had given Wu Haoshen, the newcomer director, enough face. It was as if a group of top big shots were giving Wu Haoshen the center position to debut.
