Wang Cong was a supercar enthusiast, who loved collecting all kinds of cool sports cars. He even joined an international car association that only allowed mbers whose wealth and car collection t the approval of other mbers.
Originally, Wang Cong's cars didn't et the standards, but half a year ago, when he acquired a Koenigsegg, he finally t the criteria.
This car association was very powerful, and none of its mbers were ordinary people. No matter which car company had a new release, they would be the first to know.
Just a few days ago, soone got a tip that the Apollo Sun God Series had a new car, and more interestingly, this car was custom-made for a particular figure. Only ten of these cars would be produced, each with a pre-tax price of 40 million RMB.
Even more interesting, it was said that this limited edition sportscar was a weaker version of the custom-made one, which ant there was an even more special custom version above it!
The official pre-order ti for this car was this December, and Wang Cong saw an identical car in Fang Jueyu's garage! What did that imply? The Apollo Company made that custom car for Fang Jueyu! He was that mysterious figure nobody could dig up information on!
"Is your car the Sun God's VE?" Even though he already knew the answer, Wang Cong couldn't help but confirm it.
"Hmm? You actually recognized it? They told this car hasn't been officially sold yet?"
"You wouldn't…" Wang Cong was about to ask, but he felt the question was unnecessary. Ten to one, Apollo Company was also owned by Fang Jueyu, or at the very least, he was the major shareholder!
"I don't know what to say, let just bow to you!" Wang Cong collapsed helplessly onto his own sports car. If he'd known there were so many top-notch sports cars in the garage, he would have rather let his Koenigsegg bake in the sun all day than co to this garage to get this ntal shock.
"Stop the nonsense, let's go inside and talk!" When Fang Jueyu got down to business, he got a lot more serious.
"Why the rush? Let take a look around your house first!" Wang Cong seed to acknowledge the fact that Fang Jueyu was indeed much wealthier and more influential than he was, perhaps even more so than his own father, Wang Lin.
Thinking about it this way, everything that just happened seed perfectly understandable.
"Didn't expect you also like music!" As soon as they walked into the living room, a piano caught Wang Cong's attention. He had never studied music but had a strong liking for it, sotis learning guitar and singing from the artists under his label.
"My parents forced to learn piano and violin with a whip when I was little," Fang Jueyu said exaggeratedly, "But I'm quite grateful for that, without their pressure, I might not have persevered."
"This piano's pretty nice, should be quite expensive too?" Wang Cong touched the piano body, feeling like he was having a dialogue with history.
"It should be quite valuable. This piano was gifted to Chopin by one of my ancestors a long ti ago, and many years after Chopin's death, it was returned."
"Yeah right, rich people can say anything, and I believe it!" Wang Cong rolled his eyes. Why not say this piano was the first in the world? Even though Fang Jueyu was very wealthy now, Chopin's era was long ago already, could his family have been rich since then?
"Believe it or not!" Fang Jueyu shot him a look. He hadn't even taken out Paganini's violin yet, otherwise, this guy would surely think he was bluffing.
"Have a seat, want sothing to drink?"
"Coffee, thanks!" Wang Cong sat down on the sofa, feeling a slight surprise at the texture on his butt and hands, this sofa was also presumably quite valuable.
"Sure!" Fang Jueyu dialed the housekeeper's phone, "Aunty Su, please bring two cups of coffee, the best kind!"
"Let's get to the movie matters!" Wang Cong intended to start discussing business.
"Okay, what stage are you at now?" Fang Jueyu inquired.
"I've bought the rights and adaptation rights, and have contacted a Hollywood special effects team. The props needed for filming are also being purchased and made. But I'm still considering actors, locations, and a director."
"Any problems?"
"A lot," Wang Cong sighed, "You haven't made a movie, you don't understand, now it's all about popular actors. If you don't invite these popular stars, the box office might not be high, but if you do, the movie's quality might drop significantly!"
Wang Cong was speaking about the reality of the entertainnt industry, although not everyone's like that; most popular actors have inadequate skills, poor acting, and many transitioning musicians or idols are criticized for their poor work.
"So I want to hear your thoughts first." Wang Cong turned his gaze to Fang Jueyu.
"Do you want to make money or create a great work?"
"Why not both!" Like any kid, Wang Cong wanted to make a great film but didn't want to lose much money.
"Actually, after that TV series ca out, my friends and I discussed who the ideal actors would be in everyone's mind!"
"Oh? Let's hear it?"
"For Xiao Yan's role, Hu Yiyao seems to be the best choice!" Hu Yiyao was Fang Jueyu's first choice. He had acted in many xianxia series, and his acting career broadened over the years. Though not young, his acting skills were top-tier.
Moreover, his popularity was not less than those trending young actors. If they could invite him, it would certainly attract a large fanbase.
"I thought about that too, but his roles have greatly shifted. I'm unsure if he would be willing to take on this part!"
"If you could contact him, leave the rest to !" Fang Jueyu was full of confidence because he had a trump card that he believed would have a huge impact on Hu Yiyao!
"As for Xiao Xun'er, I think we have the sa candidate in mind!" Fang Jueyu and Wang Cong exchanged a smile. For this role, there seed to be only one person who could fit it in the hearts of all movie fans, the goddess Lin Ruohan.
Hu Yiyao and Lin Ruohan had collaborated once ten years ago, and that work beca a cherished mory of childhood and youth for a generation. If they could reunite on screen, it would be a shock to the entertainnt world!
They identified the best fit for each actor and aid for a perfect film, with each role carefully selected!
But Wang Cong's expression grew increasingly somber, even though these actors were no longer young, they still had a massive fan base, and their pay wouldn't be cheap. If hired, the total budget of one billion might be pretty tight!
"Fang Jueyu, with such a cast, I'm afraid our funds might fall short!" Wang Cong finally voiced his biggest concern, "We haven't even secured a shooting location yet. That's another huge expense! Lately, Hengcheng's schedule is packed, starting the shoot on ti might be a problem, and we need so reserve funds."
Suddenly, Fang Jueyu had a brainwave, and he couldn't suppress his smile; he was just worried about having nowhere to spend money! "Haven't solved the location issue yet?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I have an idea! What if we build places like Qingshan Town, Yunlan Sect, and Demon Fla Valley from the novel to a certain scale?"
"Are you suggesting?"
"Let's just build our own film set!"
