Chapter 39: Chapter 39 A Nightmare-Like Figure!
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Hey, Mr. Ren,” Director Gao had a really good feeling about Wang Hao’s suggestion for this scene. However, changing the script involved a lot of things, such as money issues, so he looked at Ren Xing with a bit of difficulty and asked, “Changing this scene would be great, but it might need a bit more money. What do you think…”
“Change it!” Ren Xing didn’t hesitate at all and immediately made the decision, “If my Brother Hao says change it, then we must change it! Money is definitely not a problem!”
“Alright, it’s decided then!” With Ren Xing’s approval, Director Gao instantly felt confident and began arranging the actors to prepare for the changes.
After Director Gao got busy, Ren Xing asked, “By the way, Brother Hao, I had a question earlier. Director Gao usually has quite a bit of pride. What happened today? Why is he listening to you telling him about the scenes?”
“I just casually mentioned in the car that this film might lose money when it’s finished, and someone snitched on me,” Wang Hao shrugged, “So there was no choice; since it already caused a stir, I had to just explain, haha.”
“Oh, I see,” Ren Xing laughed, “No wonder. Who snitched?”
Wang Hao pointed to Lu Tong, who was standing aside with a pale face, “That guy over there.”
“Him?” Ren Xing made a gesture, and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward. Ren Xing said, “Take him away, he’s an eyesore.”
He spoke as if he were shooing away a fly, and then the two bodyguards grabbed Lu Tong like they were picking up a little chicken and threw him out…
With the annoying person gone, Wang Hao felt much more relaxed and laughed, “By the way, judging by today’s setup, you were the investor of this film? No wonder you mentioned filming yesterday, I hadn’t thought about it then.”
“Just playing around out of boredom,” Ren Xing glanced at the female lead who was preparing her lines not far away and said, “Brother Hao, what do you think of that girl? I really liked her at first sight and chased her for a long time. Finally, I got some hope, so I made up an excuse to my family, got some money, and decided to make this film to support her. What do you think?”
Wang Hao hadn’t really looked at the female lead closely before, but now that he did, she was actually quite nice. She couldn’t compare to a big star like Ice Princess Bai Yaning, but she’d still score around ninety.
“She’s not bad,” Wang Hao touched his chin, “I don’t understand the world of rich people. As long as you like her, it’s fine.”
Ren Xing winked and grinned, “Hehe, this girl matches my taste. By the way, Brother Hao, guess who I saw a couple of days ago?”
Wang Hao took a sip of his bottled water, “Who?”
Ren Xing lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Wang Mengfei!”
“Pfft—” At the mention of this name, Wang Hao, who was drinking water, spat it all out in shock, his face full of horror, “Didn’t she go to the capital for university? She’s back?!”
“Yeah, she’s back,” Ren Xing still looked somewhat scared, “Luckily, I ran fast at that time. Damn, I was almost scared to death. Brother Hao, you must be careful. This person is even tougher than she was in high school!”
“I know, I know,” Wang Hao nodded fiercely, “If I encounter her, I’ll definitely turn and run!”
It’s no wonder they were so scared because Wang Mengfei was not an ordinary person!
Back in high school, Wang Hao at least had the nickname “Brother Hao of Er Long Lake,” which gave him some status! But he had really been kicked by Wang Mengfei! It wasn’t a break-up kind of kick, but a Jingwu Sect-style flying kick!
“Run as fast as you can,” Ren Xing looked around like a thief, then said, “I remember she majored in Industrial University. I don’t know what she studied these past two years, but she looks even scarier than before!”
“Got it, got it!” Wang Hao felt a chill on his scalp, “Hopefully, we won’t run into her!”
“Yeah, we can only pray,” Ren Xing stood up, “I just wanted to warn you to be careful. If you do encounter her, don’t provoke her, or it will surely end badly. Brother Hao, sit down for now. I’m going to comfort myself with some girl chasing!”
“Alright,” Wang Hao nodded and, seeing Ren Xing about to leave, quickly said, “Oh, Ren Xing, can you do me a favor?”
Ren Xing would definitely help Wang Hao; his future happiness depended on him, “Just say it, Brother Hao. What do you need me to do?”
“You fat pig,” Wang Hao laughed and gave Ren Xing a punch, “There’s nothing much here. Can you talk to Director Gao for me? I want to take the afternoon off, I have something important to do. How’s that?”
Today was the first day of the “Doupo” launch, and the promotion was very important. Having spent the morning on set, it was best if he could go online to put out some ads in the afternoon. Even though “Doupo” was known as the number one fantasy novel in history, Wang Hao didn’t believe that just sitting there would make it popular and dominate the charts. If he were a reader, he wouldn’t click on a book without at least hundreds of thousands of words, right?
“Huh? You’re leaving?” Ren Xing was surprised, “I thought we’d have a drink later,” Then he seemed to realize something, his face full of shock, “Brother Hao, you wouldn’t be… going on a date, would you? Oh my, that’s a big deal! I’ll tell Gao!”
“Date my ass!” Wang Hao laughed and cursed, “I really have something important, no jokes.”
“Alright, then we’ll drink after you’re done!” Ren Xing went to find Director Gao. With his status as an investor, there was naturally no problem at all. Soon, Director Gao came over in person and said with a smile, “Little Wang, if you have something to do, just go. We’re not going to film today due to the changes required, so you won’t miss anything. By the way, I’ll have the screenwriters revise the script in these two days. Can you take a look at it then?”
Normally, given Director Gao’s experience, acknowledging Wang Hao for such a small part of the script was already quite generous. But the key issue now was that the investor clearly had a special relationship with Wang Hao. Naturally, Director Gao had to take care of both sides, especially since Wang Hao’s suggestions were quite good. He wouldn’t mind doing a favor since it was so easy.
“Sure, no problem,” Wang Hao replied with a smile, “I’ll leave now and come back tomorrow.”
