Chapter 690 Soon We Can Sell the Film!
First, he took her to a place to hide for a few days, and after her passport arrived, he chartered a plane to send her to New York.
First National Bank still provided Su Yehao with VIP service, allowing him to charter private jets for free.
Since he bought his own Gulfstream jet, he rarely used these "free charter coupons" anymore. Sending someone over was like spending no money, and it wasn't as eye-catching as his private jet.
After sending this ticking time bomb away, both father and son breathed a sigh of relief...
Nangong Tian, who had been staying in Si Jiu City for several days, finally finished her business and returned to Hong Kong City on the last day of June.
Before boarding the plane, she called Su Yehao and planned to have a big lunch.
Together with Jiang Yu, the three of them met directly at the restaurant.
It was interesting.
Jiang Yu actually knew what the little girl liked to eat better than Su Yehao, and ordered honeycomb shrimp balls, fresh shrimp steamed fen guo, pan-fried lotus root cakes, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, crispy roast pork belly, and so on.
In name, it was a celebration of Nangong Tian's return, but in reality, Jiang Yu was also craving it herself.
She had been sitting for long periods of time lately, and her amount of exercise wasn't as much as when she was the president of the dance club at Hong Kong University. Even though she only weighed ninety-five pounds, she was already complaining that she was too fat and wanted to lose weight.
On the other hand, there was Su Yehao.
He had gained six pounds since the beginning of the year, rounding down... in his opinion, it was practically nothing. He was hoping that the weather would get hotter and his appetite would decrease in the summer, so he would naturally lose weight.
His mentality was particularly Buddhist. After all, he wasn't a celebrity, so there was no need to rely on his face to make a living.
It was good enough, why torture himself?
Around 11:40 a.m.
Nangong Tian pushed open the door of the private room, and as soon as she appeared, she said excitedly:
"You two are in for a treat today. I went to buy a portion of shredded pork with Beijing sauce early in the morning. I accidentally discovered this dish in a restaurant yesterday. It's said to be a local specialty and very flavorful, so I asked the chef in advance and ordered a portion. Considering the tip of three hundred yuan, they agreed."
It was a kind gesture after all.
Su Yehao didn't mention that he had eaten it before, especially during banquets, when he occasionally came across it.
Seeing that the little girl's hands were empty, he asked curiously, "Where's the dish you bought? Did you lose it on the plane?"
"...How could that be? I already asked the chef to heat it up. After sitting on the plane for so long, it must have cooled down."
While speaking, Nangong Tian walked over and reached out to rub Jiang Yu's cheek, then said excitedly:
"I just got off the plane and received a call from my assistant, saying that the review of *Boys Over Flowers* is over! There are very few parts that need to be rectified and deleted, adding up to only about five minutes of plot, hahaha, we can sell the rights soon!"
Even though they had already self-checked before submitting it for review, it was inevitable that there would be some omissions when it came to so many fancy displays of affection and wealth.
"How many episodes are there in total, thirty-five? Only requiring five minutes of footage to be modified and deleted is already very generous."
After listening to Su Yehao,
Nangong Tian looked happy and sat next to him, saying:
"Yeah, Brother Hao is indeed wise and mighty. They all knew the script of this drama, and they had already obtained it from their department for review before filming started, so they gave it the green light all the way. It seems to have attracted many people to watch the sample films. According to them, they almost delayed their work. It was the first time they saw so many colleagues voluntarily working overtime on the weekend, just so they wouldn't miss the plot."
Jiang Yu also said:
"Indeed, during the communication stage before filming, we discovered that if we directly filmed according to the original manga, there was a 70-80% chance that it would not pass the review, let alone sell the broadcasting rights to the TV station. The Korean, Japanese, Thai, and other dubbings are all prepared, what should we do next?"
"Does that even need to be asked? Of course, we'll choose an auspicious day and first test it on my ATV. If it becomes popular, we'll definitely be able to sell the broadcasting rights for a good price, including the members of the F4 group and the female lead, they will all become your Tianyu Entertainment's cash cows."
"Brother Hao, it's not 'your', it's 'our'."
Picking out his small mistake, Nangong Tian was overjoyed and continued:
"We must choose a good broadcast time, and it doesn't matter if we have to wait. Also, while I was free in Si Jiu City, I held a small audition and seem to have found a little fairy who is suitable to play the role of Ling'er in *Chinese Paladin*."
Ever since acquiring the agency rights and film and television adaptation rights for the game *Chinese Paladin*, they had been writing the script almost at the same time as the *Wind and Cloud* comic.
Now, *Wind and Cloud: Storm Riders* had already finished filming and entered the post-production stage.
Even the movie *Myth* was about to finish filming, but this script adapted from the game was still lying in the company's safe.
There was no problem with funding, and it was easy to find a filming team.
The *Chinese Paladin* project was stuck on the role of Ling'er. Facing many actresses, Su Yehao wasn't satisfied with any of them, including even a few popular top-tier female stars in Hong Kong City.
Although they were very famous, even the point of "whether they were beautiful" was worth discussing, let alone that ethereal and lively sense of immortality.
In his previous life, Su Yehao had watched *Chinese Paladin* and still remembered being attracted by Ling'er's face first, before paying attention to the plot itself.
He had a bit of personal preference for this project and had always wanted to wait and see if he could meet the original female lead and sign her to Tianyu Entertainment.
Unfortunately, he waited and waited, but there was still no sign of her until now.
At this moment.
Su Yehao asked the little girl suspiciously, "Are you sure she's suitable? The female lead is the key to the success of this drama."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very reliable in handling things. You guys can take a look at the photos first."
While searching in her handbag, Nangong Tian said:
"It was also a coincidence that I met this little girl. She's learning dance from a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, and she happened to hear that I was looking for an actress suitable to play a fairy, so her teacher brought two girls over. She's a bit young, but because she practices ballet, her temperament is particularly good, and her eyes look so clean."
Su Yehao was noncommittal.
Eating a lotus root cake, he glanced at the photo and instantly choked, coughing repeatedly.
He recognized the girl in the photo. Wasn't she Long Kui from *Swordsman III*, a younger version of Liu Shishi?
Being able to be called one of the little stars in the future, her foundation was definitely not bad, and she looked quite pretty in the audition photos.
Having seen many celebrities, Su Yehao choked mainly because he didn't expect Nangong Tian to be so awesome, accidentally digging out such a little beauty ahead of time.
After taking the photo and carefully looking at it, he found that it was indeed Liu Shishi, Su Yehao asked: "Isn't she a little too young? It seems like she's not an adult yet?"
"What adult? It's still early, she's only thirteen years old."
After speaking, Nangong Tian pointed at Jiang Yu and continued:
"I've met her in person, and she's not short. Her temperament is a bit similar to Jiang Yu when she's not speaking. It's a pity that you freeze in front of the camera, Xiaoyuyu, otherwise it would be great to let you play Ling'er, but it's just that I'm too sexy, it's really not suitable for me to do it myself."
Jiang Yu was speechless and asked, "What do you mean when I'm not speaking?"
"Look, how fierce your tone is. I'll take you to live in Jiangnan more often next time. I heard it's easy to cultivate oneself there."
"..."
Seeing them bickering, how dare Su Yehao make a sound?
He focused on eating his meal, so as not to accidentally get caught in the crossfire again.
Imagining Jiang Yu in ancient costume in his mind.
This girl was already good-looking, and she was indeed suitable to play Ling'er, but unfortunately, she had no acting skills.
As for Liu Shishi, her conditions weren't bad either. Although she looked a bit young, her appearance was still very good...
