Chapter 202: Chapter 202: So Damn Hard! Chapter 202: Chapter 202: So Damn Hard! WeChat group.
Yu Junpeng: “Hahaha, today was absolutely exhilarating!”
Xia Fei: “Yu, what made you so happy?”
Yin Chunyan: “Really, you scared us, are you having a fit?”
Yu Junpeng: “Empress Dowager is here too? Haha! Today was genuinely thrilling! ‘Dostic Agent’ is a huge hit! A huge hit, hahaha!”
Yin Chunyan: “You’re watching that show too? I watched it four tis this afternoon, laughed every ti! But why are you laughing when it’s a hit?”
Yu Junpeng: “Didn’t I tell you before? I’ve been studying screenwriting! My teacher is the screenwriter under Li Fei for ‘Dostic Agent’!”
With that remark, several mbers of the group were shocked!
Xia Fei: “Fuck! Really? That’s aweso for you then!”
Yu Junpeng: “Definitely. This hit series has skyrocketed my teacher’s worth! I’m telling you, just for a casual script now, he starts at at least two hundred thousand! I’m still a bit behind, just forty to fifty thousand per script.”
That’s why they say everyone in the circle is amazing, Yu Junpeng’s words imdiately energized everyone!
Xia Fei: “Nice, Yu, aweso! Doing well, huh, forty to fifty thousand a script! How long does it usually take you to write one?”
Yu Junpeng: “If it’s finalized without changes, I can write one in a week. If changes are needed, it could take ten days to half a month, or even three to four months if slow. Do you think this money is easy to earn? If it were forty to fifty thousand a week, fuck, that would be two hundred thousand a month, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams!”
Yin Chunyan: “So, even if it’s one or two months per script, you’d still make fifty thousand, that’s pretty badass!”
Yu Junpeng: “Overall, I guess it’s fair to say, passable, not excellent but not the worst. Actually, although I’m not a big na screenwriter, I do et more stars usually. Last ti I accompanied my teacher to visit the set, and I t the male lead of ‘Dostic Agent’, Yang Yunfei. I’m telling you, Yang Yunfei looks even cooler and more handso in real life than in the show! Fuck, if I had his looks, I could definitely live off my face!”
Yin Chunyan: “Really? That’s so badass! Didn’t you ask for an autograph? I’m a big fan of him now! Absolute idol!”
Yu Junpeng: “Of course I got his autograph! Such a great opportunity, haha, I now have his hand-signed autographs, I got more than ten that ti, I’ll hand so out at our class reunion!”
Xia Fei: “Fuck, that’s aweso! Definitely!”
Yin Chunyan: “Nicely done! Reserve one for first!”
Lu Yu: “And one for !”
Yu Junpeng: “Sure, sure, haha, I’ll try to accommodate everyone as much as possible, but there aren’t that many, so don’t fight over them! He’s really hot right now, these autographs are worth a lot!”
All together they agreed: “Definitely! Definitely!”
Yu Junpeng: “Oh right, this ‘Dostic Agent’ is said to be co-written by Li Fei and his disciple Wang Hao, who has the sa na as our classmate!”
Xia Fei: “Yeah, sa na but different lives. I saw Wang Hao today; he ca to collect his salary from , a temporary job, two months for four thousand eight, damn, that’s really miserable.”
Yu Junpeng: “Fuck, really? That bad?”
Xia Fei: “Is there any doubt? Wait a sec, I have the receipt here, I’ll take a photo and show you guys!”
Soon, Xia Fei uploaded a photo of Wang Hao’s salary receipt to the group, eliciting various sighs from everyone—
Lu Yu: “It’s really, too miserable. Two months of salary, just that much, can he survive?”
Yu Junpeng: “How could he? In Zhonghai, if you don’t make over five thousand a month, it just isn’t enough! It’s bitterly tough!”
…
Henglong Holiday Hotel.
The Wang Hao, who was ntioned as bitterly struggling, was being urged to drink more.
The unmatched and irresistibly cool Yang Yunfei, holding a glass of liquor, said, “Mr. Li Fei, Mr. Wang Hao, to be honest, without you guys, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today, not much more to say, I’ll down three in a row, you two do as you please!” He downed three in quick succession!
“See that? Now people are calling us ‘Teacher’! Wahaha!”
At this mont, Gao Mingxing laughed and explained to Wang Hao, “Brother Hao, thanks to you, this guy just took a few calls. Soone wants him for a film, the starting price is five million!”
“Then congratulations are in order!” Wang Hao happily raised his glass, “Hope we can cooperate again in the future!”
“I really must thank Teacher Wang Hao for your care!” Yang Yunfei expressed his gratitude, “When the ti cos, just a word from you, and I’ll be there whenever you call!”
This guy’s on his way up!
Li Fei then ran out to take another call. Upon returning, he gestured eagerly to Wang Hao, “Wang Hao, co here quickly!”
What’s up?
Wang Hao hurried over, and Li Fei whispered, “There’s a job! It’s a big boss nad Yang, filthy rich. He’ll be here soon!”
“Oh? So soon?” Wang Hao exclaid, “Our show just started getting popular, right?”
“This is striking while the iron is hot!” Li Fei said, “You gotta know, our drama broke records. Your worth isn’t the sa now, everyone’s looking for you to write scripts. If he doesn’t hurry, what then? If your next drama’s popularity is even half what this one is, a script will start at two million at least. The key is, will you even have ti later? No, you won’t!”
That makes sense. If our current fa fetches us a million, imagine what more a hit next project would fetch!
And I might not even have the ti then!
Wang Hao nodded imdiately, “Got it!”
“And rember this,” Li Fei cautioned earnestly, “keep in mind, you’re not a little apprentice anymore; you’re a big shot! As a big shot, you’ve gotta act the part. How can you even consider offers below three to five hundred thousand? So, when Yang makes his offer later, just stay cool. If it’s not up to your standard, don’t say anything at all!”
Wang Hao: “Okay!”
Boss Yang indeed arrived quickly. Just ten minutes later, Wang Hao saw a middle-aged man in a suit with rimd glasses walking into the lobby. Li Fei greeted him cheerfully, “Boss Yang, long ti no see!” Then he introduced them, “Boss Yang, this is my apprentice Wang Hao, Little Wang. And this is Boss Yang, a big entrepreneur, company’s worth billions. Quite impressive!”
Wang Hao quickly extended his hand, “Boss Yang, nice to et you. Please take care of .”
“Sure, sure,” Boss Yang shook hands with Wang Hao and smiled, “A hero among the youth! Many lines from the drama are classic. I really like them, so I rushed over.”
“Haha, Little Wang is quite the prodigy,” Li Fei laughed heartily, “Co, let’s sit over here and talk.”
The three sat down at a corner tea spot in the lobby. Boss Yang said, “Mr. Li is really busy. He probably doesn’t have ti for my film, so he recomnded you earnestly. Wang Hao, my projected film is a costu drama. Nothing special required, just needs to be popular. Any ideas?”
A costu drama, huh? Definitely can contribute sothing there.
“I do have so,” Wang Hao pondered, “but your criteria is a bit broad; I’m not sure my ideas will et your requirents.”
“Oh, you have a few ideas already?” Boss Yang laughed, “True to Mr. Li’s style, indeed a genius. Having ideas is good. I’m making this film just for fun, but of course, making so money out of it would be better. So, you see…”
With that said, Wang Hao imdiately understood.
Don’t be fooled by his casual approach. He’s quite sly!
Fun? Is he talking about making the movie fun or playing around with the cast?
“I’ve got it,” Wang Hao smiled, “Yes, I really do have one idea that fits.”
“Great!” Boss Yang laughed heartily, “Then I won’t hold back, six hundred thousand. How about that?”
Wang Hao smiled silently.
I’ll just see how it goes without saying anything!
Li Fei chid in from the side, “Old Yang, taking advantage of a newbie isn’t really fair. Even if Little Wang has just debuted, his price isn’t that low. ‘Dostic Agent’ achieved 3.5 million views in two hours, you surely know what that ans?”
“All right, all right, my bad, my bad,” Boss Yang slapped his forehead, “Okay, eight hundred thousand! How about that?”
Wang Hao continued to smile silently.
I’ll just see how it goes without saying anything!
