Chapter 629: Box Office Exceeded 500 Million Yuan! Bet Won

After a while, he said, “Write me an authorization letter. I’ll go speak to him as your client.”

Zhao Licheng was clearly the person in charge within the family, so after he made the arrangements, his wife tried to persuade him. However, seeing that Zhao Licheng insisted, she could only nod and return to her room to write an authorization letter for him…

Zhao Licheng was busy with Su Yang’s new Silver Mission while Su Yang took the time to go to school for two days to take this semester’s final exam. This was a condition that he had discussed with the dean at that time, where Su Yang was able to skip any classes as he pleased.

After going to school for two days, Su Yang realized that his reputation in Shanghai University was growing.

In the past, he had to show off on his WeChat or drive a luxury car to school to show off to his classmates.

But now, because of “Wolf Warriors”, Su Yang’s reputation skyrocketed.

The students of Shanghai University all knew that their school had produced an impressive figure who was wealthy and had invested over 100 million yuan into a movie. He had also made a bet with the directors of the entertainment industry and fought with the A and B-Ranked celebrities.

More importantly, he emerged victorious in all of those things!

Coupled with the fact that “Wolf Warriors” had a box office earnings of more than 400 million yuan in less than a week, it was even more obvious that Su Yang was going to make a killing. Furthermore, his foresight was extremely accurate.

Therefore, as soon as he took the exam, everyone came forward to greet him, whether they knew him or not. They just wanted to get to know him.

Some of the bolder girls would even secretly slip Su Yang a piece of paper, allowing him to experience the joy that others had experienced during their high school days…

Since people he did not know were already being so proactive, those he knew were naturally more familiar with him. Be it Qu Xuan, Qu Xiaomeng, Wang Bei or Xue Ya, all of them came to chat with Su Yang when they saw him. The content of the conversation was, “Congratulations, congratulations.”, “If you have time, please get me an autograph from Wu Feng.”

Qu Xuan was the strangest one. He actually asked Su Yang if he had the right to give him tickets since he was the producer.

‘Qu Xuan isn’t a poor man, so why would he ask me for a ticket? What a shameless person.’ Hence, he rejected him outright. However, the truth was that Su Yang did not even have tickets to give out anyway.

Qu Xuan left in disappointment, leaving Su Yang baffled.

The exam lasted for two days and in the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

On Saturday morning, Su Yang had just woken up when he heard the continuous notifications of ‘Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong’, giving him a shock.

He immediately called out to Little Deeny and asked what was going on.

Little Deeny smiled and said, “Congratulations, Master! The box office for “Wolf Warriors” has exceeded 500 million yuan!”

‘It’s already exceeded 500 million yuan?

‘That was actually really quick.’

Su Yang summoned a virtual interface and realized that the notifications were all from Weibo.

He opened it and saw that it was all his fans or netizens who had tagged him. There was not much difference in the content. They were all congratulating Su Yang for his “Wolf Warriors” breaking 500 million yuan in box office and reminding him not to forget about the bet.

Su Yang opened the professional box office software and realized that the box office had indeed exceeded 500 million yuan. Perhaps because it was the weekend, the box office was still increasing rapidly.

Su Yang took a look at the box office forecast for “Wolf Warriors” on the professional software. It had increased from 450 million to 670 million. In just a week, “Wolf Warriors” had gone from a movie that no one thought highly of to one of the hottest films of the year and… Won the bet.

Su Yang had never been a magnanimous person, especially when it came to Big Beard Liu, who had stirred up trouble several times and deliberately made things worse.

Therefore, he responded to the netizens’ calls and directly opened Weibo to tag Big Beard Liu. ‘Director Liu, “Wolf Warriors” has already reached 500 million yuan now, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?’

At that moment, Big Beard Liu was actually anxious.

For the past few days, he had been paying close attention to the box office of “Wolf Warriors” and was not even in the mood to film anymore.

But it was useless no matter how much he paid attention to it! The box office earnings would not decrease just because he was paying attention to it. Therefore, he could only watch as the box office for “Wolf Warriors” rose rapidly!

And it was precisely because the box office for “Wolf Warriors” had exploded that the people in the entertainment industry who had always been on his side had all cut ties with him and feigned ignorance on the matter.

Even Liang Gang stopped answering his calls.

This morning, he had just woken up and had yet to wash up when he heard his phone ring continuously. At first, he thought that someone was finally looking for him.

In the end, he saw that it was actually the netizens who were stirring up trouble by tagging him non-stop because… The box office for “Wolf Warriors” was already more than 500 million yuan!

‘500 million yuan! What a terrifying box office amount!

‘Even if I add up all of my movies, I haven’t even achieved 500 million yuan!’

Big Beard Liu was so jealous that his eyes turned red!

Of course, he was also afraid.

Initially, he thought that Su Yang was just a small investor in online dramas. In the end, he became a big shot in the entertainment industry. Hence, it would not be beneficial for him to go up against such a person.

Therefore, he wanted to reconcile with Su Yang immediately.

At that moment, Su Yang tagged him and asked him to keep his promise.

In that instant, Big Beard Liu’s face turned green.

The two of them made a bet. Big Beard Liu made a bet of one million yuan while Su Yang made a bet of ten million yuan. No matter which bet it was, it was not a small sum.

Big Beard Liu was worried…

‘What should I do now?

‘The problem is that the matter has already blown up. So, even if I wanted to break my promise, there are still millions of netizens watching me. Unless I completely ignored the public’s opinion, there’s no way I can resolve this.’

Big Beard Liu sat on the bed and smoked quietly. As the smoke revolved around him, he thought of many ways, but none of them worked. In the end, he had no choice but to gather his thoughts.

Therefore, the assistant directors, producers and his assistant were all having an unlucky day. In the wee hours of the morning, he called them to his hotel room to discuss how he should handle the matter.

Before the few of them could speak, Big Beard Liu had already set the tone for this matter. “This happened in our production team and I’m the director of our production team. Strictly speaking, this should be our production team’s business. So… Everyone can speak freely and see how we can help our production team survive this crisis.”

When Big Beard Liu said that, everyone present was rendered speechless.

‘What kind of explanation could there be? Are you seriously expecting us to fork out our own money to pay for your bet?’

The producer definitely did not want to bear that sum of money for nothing, so he said, “Director Liu, actually, this is still your personal matter. So, it’s inappropriate for us to interfere…”

Before he could finish, Big Beard Liu interrupted him. “Well, I can’t solve it now. So, what are you going to do if this affects the entire production team negatively?”

The producer was speechless.

‘Is he trying to push the blame now?’

Hence, they had no choice but to help Big Beard Liu think of a solution.

As they thought about this, Big Beard Liu’s assistant’s eyes lit up and he said, “Director Liu, Producer Zhang. Actually, we can appear to agree at first. Then, we can just not donate after that!”

“That’s a bad idea!” He was interrupted by Big Beard Liu as soon as he said that. “My reputation will be greatly affected if this matter is exposed!”

The assistant did not dare retort. He could only lower his head and mutter to himself, “You’re still expecting to have a reputation after this? Everyone’s starting to gang up on you already… Why are you still pretending like you’re still reputable?”

At that moment, the assistant director who had been silent all this while finally spoke, “Director Liu, actually, I feel that it would be inappropriate if we don’t donate.”

Big Beard Liu looked at him and frowned. The assistant director continued, “However, we can only donate 1 million yuan. He was the one who asked for 10 million yuan, but you didn’t reply directly. So, even if we were to donate 1 million yuan to shut up the netizens, Su Yang can’t say anything about that.”

Big Beard Liu’s brows never relaxed. ‘Although 1 million yuan is less than 10 million yuan, who in their right mind would be willing to donate their hard-earned money for no reason? Wouldn’t they be better off spending that money for their own sake?’

In the end, the producer who had a good relationship with Big Beard Liu patted him on the shoulder. “Old Liu, if you can’t manage, I’ll see if the crew will be able to accumulate the 1 million yuan.”

Big Beard Liu immediately broke into a wide smile. He coughed and said, “Actually, I’m not worried about the money, but I just feel that Su Yang has had an unfair advantage. I really don’t think that “Wolf Warriors” was all that interesting. It was purely luck that made it popular.”

“In my opinion, his next movie will definitely fail!”

No one dared to answer.

After all, things were different now. Su Yang was already a well-known producer with a box office earnings of 500 million yuan. Hence, he belonged to the top of the entertainment industry. The person who had a grudge against him was Big Beard Liu, who was not a largely influential person. Therefore, no one wanted to offend Su Yang for no good reason.

Just as they were chatting, something within the hotel room rang.

Everyone touched their phones and then shook their heads. Big Beard Liu then felt his pockets and realized that the phone was not on him. Hence, he smiled and said, “Looks like it’s mine.”

As he said that, he got up to take his phone from the bed.

After picking up the phone, he saw that it was an unknown number.

‘Eh? Who’s calling me?’

He picked up the phone and a clear voice came from the other end. “Director Liu? It’s me, Su Yang.”

Big Beard Liu’s heart skipped a beat. He had never expected his enemy to find him.

He was panicking inside, but he did not show it on his face. He asked calmly, “Why are you calling me at this time, Mr. Su?”

Su Yang replied, “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask you. Are you planning to renege on the 10 million yuan bet?”

Although that was what Big Beard Liu had planned to do, he could not possibly answer like that. Therefore, he said without hesitation, “Why would I do that?”

Initially, he wanted to make up a few sentences to let this matter pass. However, Su Yang did not listen to his explanation and simply said, “That’s good. I’ll be waiting for your 10 million yuan donation then.” After that, he hung up.

“Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…” Hearing the sound from the receiver, Big Beard Liu’s face flushed red!

After a while, he shouted, “What the f*ck! You just got lucky! Why are you boasting in front of me! F*ck you and your boasting! I refuse to donate now! What are you going to do about it?!”

The people in the hotel room looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
