Chapter 157 The Lion Opens Its Mouth

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Fumikoha's face looked uncertain.

Obviously, Xu Yang will never ask him to be the director.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

Wen Muye gritted his teeth and dialed a phone number.

This is the phone number of a person in charge of Penguin Pictures.

He wrote the script, and before calling Xu Zhen, he had already contacted the person in charge and showed the script to the other party. Penguin Pictures took the lead in investing in this drama.

Now that this situation has arisen and Xu Yang can't win the director's position, Penguin Pictures can only solve it.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and sneered: "Huh, Xu Yang, if you don't let me be a director, I won't make it easy for you!"

Xu Yang's side.

Not long after hanging up Fumikoha's phone, the phone rang again.

It's an unfamiliar phone number, and it's from Shenzhen.

He was a little curious as to who in Shencheng called him.

It seems that I don’t know any friends in Shencheng.

Could it be that one of my best classmates went to work in Shenzhen?

"Hello." Xu Yang answered the phone.

"It's Mr. Xu, I'm Wu Chengtao, the head of the film department of Penguin Pictures." Wu Chengtao said.

"Penguin Pictures? What can you do?" Xu Yang asked.

"I heard that you are currently filming a movie, and you have hired Xu Zhen as the director, right?" Wu Chengtao asked.

"Yes, what's wrong? Do you want to invest?" Xu Yang asked.

"Yes, we want to invest." Wu Chengtao said.

"No problem, I will allocate some investment quota to you, but I can't determine how much right now. I can't allocate it until all investors are identified."

Penguin Pictures is backed by Penguin Group and is a heavyweight player in the film and television industry.

If the other party wants to invest, Xu Yang will naturally give him face and some shares.

"I hope you can confirm the investment amount for Penguin Pictures now. I wonder how much you can give?" Wu Chengtao said in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Are you sure now?" Xu Yang frowned slightly, a little unhappy with the other party's tone, "If you are sure now, I can give you 5% of the investment amount."

Originally, given the size of Penguin Pictures, Xu Yang would give the other party at least 10% of the investment amount.

The other party's tone made him a little unhappy. If he wanted to confirm it now, he would only give the other party 5% of the investment amount.

"Mr. Xu, are you kidding me?" Wu Chengtao smiled coldly.

"I never joke about these things." Xu Yang's tone became indifferent.

"Mr. Xu, I hope to get 40% of the investment amount, and I hope Mr. Xu can agree." Wu Chengtao said.

Forty percent of the investment amount?

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment.

This guy is like a lion.

"Mr. Wu, I only want 40% of the quota myself, and the remaining 60% is to be shared with other investors. It is impossible to give you such a large quota. If I give you 40%, that's it. Only 20 percent is left to give to others, which is impossible.”

He promised to give Xu Zhen 10%, and Wang Xiaocong also planned to give 10%.

If you give the other party another 40%, the investment quota will be allocated, and other investors will not be attracted.

This is not okay.

Although there are Penguins and Wang Xiaocong, the relationship network is already very strong.

But there are other intricate relationships here that need to be dealt with by others.

Otherwise, even Wang Xiaocong and Penguin Pictures will be in trouble.

Maybe this will lead to poor box office performance.

As the saying goes, if everyone makes money together, only then can things develop smoothly.

It is absolutely not okay to live alone, or only a few people benefit.

"It's already good to give 20% to others. Just find four more people and give each of them 5%." Wu Chengtao said with a smile.

"Sorry, this is very different from my expectations." Xu Yang said.

"Mr. Xu, if you want to attract more people, you can reduce your own investment amount." Wu Chengtao smiled.

"Do you think it's possible? For my movie, I will give you 40% of the investment quota, but reduce my own investment quota. Do you think I am stupid?" Xu Yang responded with a sneer.

"Mr. Xu, I don't think you are mentally retarded, but I still hope you can agree. This is a good thing for you and me." Wu Chengtao said lightly.

"I'm sorry, it's impossible for me to agree." Xu Yang said without hesitation.

"Mr. Xu, don't be too busy saying no, I heard from Wen Muye that this movie directed by Xu Zhen is very similar to the play he wrote. Wen Muye originally asked us to invest in the play. , now it is equivalent to being cut off halfway by you, so I only want 40% of the investment amount, which is not too much." Wu Chengtao said.

"Halfway?" Xu Yang smiled. No wonder the other party dared to speak so loudly. It turned out that he felt that he had stopped him halfway and wanted to ask for such a high amount from himself to make up for the loss. "I'm sorry, but this matter doesn't count." Why cut it off halfway? I can only say that Fumikoha was unlucky and wrote a script similar to mine. If you want to invest in Fumikoha's drama, you are also unlucky. If you want to use this, you must Forty percent of the investment amount, I can tell you clearly that you are overthinking.”

"So you don't agree?" Wu Chengtao's tone became colder.

"Yes, I won't agree." Xu Yang responded coldly.

"Mr. Xu, you have to think carefully. We, Penguin Pictures, are backed by Penguin Group, and our strength is beyond your imagination. If you don't agree, we will make your movie impossible to make." Wu Chengtao threatened Chi Guoguo.

"Threaten me?" Xu Yang sneered.

In the past, he would definitely be afraid of threats.

Now, of course, I am not afraid anymore.

So what if he was backed by the Penguin Group? He really pissed himself off, so he couldn't do something about it.

"That's right, I'm threatening you. You'd better agree to my conditions and give us 40% of Penguin Pictures' investment quota, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Wu Chengtao sneered.

He believed that as long as Xu Yang knew how to weigh the pros and cons, he would definitely give in.

This is the power of strong capital, which can overwhelm all weaklings.

Even if the weak are unhappy, they can only endure it.

"Do you know what happened between me and Hua'an Film and Television?" Xu Yang asked with a sneer.

"I know, but if you think you can use the same method you used to deal with Huaan Film and Television to deal with our Penguin Pictures, you are overthinking it. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." Wu Chengtao was not afraid at all.

"It seems that using that method is not possible, but I still won't agree to it. Originally I wanted to give you 5% of the investment amount, but now I have decided not to give it to you at all. What are you capable of? Just come here." Xu Yang will not be threatened by the other party.

If the other person wants to fight, then have a fight.

Others are afraid of Penguin Pictures, but he is not.

The worst outcome is that the movie won't be made, no big deal.

"Okay, just wait for me." Wu Chengtao smiled coldly and hung up the phone.
