Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Hidden Too Deeply
Xu Yang rummaged for Fang Pengtao’s phone number and dialed it.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

He opened the investor WeChat group and sent a message.

Xu Yang: Director Wu, I just contacted Mr. Fang from Wanda Pictures, and he said he will get in touch with you regarding the screening arrangements. Just wait for his call.

On the call, Xu Yang had asked Fang Pengtao to contact Wu Jing about the premier of “Leopard Strike” in Wanda theaters.

Fang Pengtao naturally did not dare to refuse.

Xu Yang was a shareholder, and although he only held three percent of the shares, he was not someone Fang Pengtao could afford to neglect.

One must know, the shares of Wanda Pictures were very difficult to come by.

Others, even with money, had no way to buy them.

The fact that Xu Yang’s could obtain three percent of the shares indicated he was a person with substantial power.

His status in the film industry was high, yet no matter what, he was still an employee and could not compare with shareholders like Xu Yang.

Therefore, when Xu Yang asked him to contact Wu Jing to discuss the premier of “Leopard Strike” in Wanda theaters, he definitely would go and do it.

He had heard of Wu Jing’s “Leopard Strike” and also that it had run into budget overruns during filming, which had caused the shooting to halt.

Later, it was unknown how they had found another investor to finish the film.

Only then did he realize that this final investor, the one who enabled the completion of “Leopard Strike,” was Xu Yang, a shareholder of Wanda Pictures.

As for military action films like “Leopard Strike,” he was skeptical about their success.

It was understandable why Wanda theaters were not giving it screen time.

However, since Xu Yang had spoken up, it was clear that the film would be scheduled for screening.

If the audience didn’t like it, just reduce the number of screenings or even take it off the schedule.

“Holy shit, Xu, you know Mr. Fang from Wanda Pictures?!”

“Xu, you’re awesome.”

“Xu, you should have spoken up earlier. You had us worried to death.”

“My God, Xu, you’ve kept your cards so close to your chest.”

“We were panicking and had no solution, but Xu, you solved it with just one phone call.”

“Xu, if we get to enjoy any success this time, it’s all thanks to you.”

The investors were all astonished.

Just now, none of them had thought of asking Xu Yang to leverage his connections.

Because from the last wrap party of “Leopard Strike,” everyone had gained some understanding of Xu Yang.

They had not expected Xu Yang to give them such a big surprise.

To directly call Fang Pengtao.

Being able to call Fang Pengtao directly, what does that imply?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It implies that Xu Yang’s relationship with Fang Pengtao was anything but ordinary.

Within this group of investors, none were capable of directly calling Wanda Pictures CEO Fang Pengtao.

Not even Yang Chen could do it.

Wu Jing: Mr. Fang from Wanda Pictures just called me. He said they will arrange screening for “Leopard Strike” and also mentioned setting up a preview showing at Wanda Cinema in Jiang City Wanda Plaza. I’ve discussed it with him, the preview will be on February 1st at 8 PM, and he will attend the ceremony.

Wu Jing: Xu, I can’t thank you enough. If not for you, “Leopard Strike” would have been finished.

It could be said that Xu Yang had saved “Leopard Strike” once again.

As long as Fang Pengtao watched the preview, he was confident that getting Wanda theaters to increase screenings would definitely not be a problem.

Although he did not yet know the relationship between Xu Yang and Fang Pengtao, Xu Yang’s phone call had clearly resolved the issue.

Without Xu Yang, “Leopard Strike” would have been in trouble.

Xu Yang: I am an investor of “Leopard Strike,” and doing something for the film is only natural.

“Xu, thank you!”

“Boss Xu is mighty!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“With Boss Xu guarding ‘Battle Leopard,’ I’m relieved!”

The investors were all speaking one after another.

Wu Jing: Boss Xu, you must attend the preview of ‘Battle Leopard.’

Xu Yang: No problem, I’ll go with my wife.

Such matters naturally involved not forgetting the wife.

Tang Zhengqi: Little brother Xu, when Director Wu and his team arrive in Jiangcheng, you must take them to your Haidilao Hot Pot.

“Right, right, we must go to Boss Xu’s Haidilao Hot Pot.”

“I see Haidilao’s information every day, and when I go to Jiangcheng for the ‘Battle Leopard’ preview, I must give it a try.”

“If Boss Xu is treating, that would be great.”

“If Boss Xu is treating, no need to queue up, otherwise, you’d have to wait at least half an hour.”

Ever since all the anchors from Fengcai Guild started promoting Haidilao, everyone knew Xu Yang was the owner of Haidilao.

Xu Yang: My Haidilao is right at Wanda Plaza; on February 1st at 6 p.m., let’s meet at the entrance of Wanda Plaza. I’ll treat everyone to hot pot, and after eating, we’ll go watch the preview, how about that?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“No problem!”

“Boss Xu’s arrangements are meticulous!”

“Boss Xu, thank you!”

“I feel like I want to eat at Haidilao more than I want to see ‘Battle Leopard’!”

“Me too, can’t help it, Haidilao is too popular. Everyone online is talking about Haidilao’s excellent service; everyone wants to experience it for themselves.”

The investors were speaking one after another.

Xu Yang said: Since Boss Fang will attend the preview, I’ll invite him to the hot pot too. Director Wu, you can contact him about it, after all, the future work will still need to be handled by you.

Wu Jing: Sure, thank you, Boss Xu.

He knew that Xu Yang was giving him an opportunity.

Xu Yang might not care, but he did.

Getting on good terms with Fang Pengtao would make shooting films and premiering them in Wanda’s cinemas much easier.

There would also be preference in scheduling.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Before, Wu Jing never had such an opportunity to connect with a big shot like Fang Pengtao.

Given this chance by Xu Yang, he certainly had to seize it.

Xu Yang: No need to be polite; see you then.

After sending that message, Xu Yang exited WeChat.

Then he took Zhao Yuxin into his arms and mentioned the plan to watch ‘Battle Leopard’ together on the evening of February 1st.

“Sure.” Zhao Yuxin naturally had no objections. She had never attended such a preview event before.

Moreover, she knew that as Xu Yang earned more and more money and met more and more people, as Xu Yang’s wife, she would increasingly experience such occasions.

Immediately, she thought of something else and said, “Honey, why don’t we invite my dad to come along? It’s been a long time since he’s been to the movies. I remember, the last time was when I was a child; he took me to see an animation. Ever since I started middle school, even when I went to the movies, I went with classmates and friends, not with him. It seems he hasn’t been since then.”

Xu Yang said: “Of course, there’s no problem. In the future, whatever arrangements you want to make for dad, just let me know. I’ll support you.”

“Mmm, I know.” Zhao Yulu nodded repeatedly.

The next day.

Xu Yang visited Fengcai Guild to get an update on the situation.

Everything was fine; live streaming brought in a net profit of about three million a day.

As more guilds joined live selling, competition intensified, and the profit margins for streamer-led sales decreased significantly.

Even so, it was still incredibly profitable.

Three million a day was ninety million a month.

A year came to one billion and eighty million, a true cash cow!
