Chapter 637 Director Wang, I like you
"300 million?" Han Sanping was stunned when he saw Wang Shu confidently saying this number.
He knew Wang Shu relatively well.
Since Wang Shu said it could reach 300 million, the number 300 million is probably just a guarantee, and his innermost estimate is that the number will only be higher.
The production cost of "The Night the Comet Came" was only 1,000W. Even if another 20 million was added for publicity, the total cost was only 3,000W.
With a cost of 30 million, the box office has exceeded 100 million, let alone 300 million or higher.
Thinking of this, Han Sanping sighed silently in his heart.
This kind of low-cost and high-box-office film is undoubtedly an extremely high-quality performance for him.
During his term of office, China Film Group can participate in the production of this kind of film, which will be of great help to his future work.
But he also understood that for a director as talented and capable as Wang Shu, his appetite should not be too big, and he had to give Wang Shu a chance to make money on his own.
Otherwise, cooperation cannot last long.
Wang Shu responded with a smile: "I should be able to have 300 million."
"Haha." Han Sanping came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your celebration banquet."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Shu returned to the villa.
I just made a cup of tea and took a sip when I received a call from Yang Mi: "Director Wang, have you returned to the capital?"
"Yeah." Wang Shu responded.
"Then I'll go and give you New Year greetings." Yang Mi said sweetly in her voice.
This is an affirmation, not a question.
Wang Shu wanted to refuse, but felt that the refusal was a bit offensive, so he immediately responded: "If you are not busy, then come."
"Yeah, I'm not busy." Yang Mi said playfully.
"Then come on." Wang Shu smiled.
An hour or two later, Yang Mi appeared at Wang Shu's villa.
Last year, Yang Mi came to Wang Shu's house to pay New Year's greetings and knew the place.
Wang Shu took the fruit basket brought by Yang Mi and joked with a smile: "Just come, why are you so polite?"
This is a polite saying during the New Year greetings. Whenever someone brings a gift, they will say this.
Moreover, it is the custom in Wang Shu's hometown to pay New Year greetings in the morning, not after noon.
But since we are outside, and we are all friends of the same age and seniority, we don’t have to pay attention to these things.
However, Yang Mi did not answer the words. Instead, she sniffed close to Wang Shu and said in surprise: "Director Wang, have you been drinking?"
She knew that Wang Shu didn't like drinking, but now he drank.
What is going on?
Could it be that other actresses had come to pay Wang Shu’s New Year greetings before and even had dinner together?
Thinking of this, I feel a little bit disgusted.
Wang Shu responded: "I went to Han Dong's house to pay New Year greetings in the morning. He took me to have lunch at his house."
When Yang Mi heard this, she suddenly understood, and the taste in her heart disappeared.
She smiled and said: "It turns out that I went to Director Han's place."
After saying that, he blinked and said, "Did Director Han ask you to talk about continuing to make blockbusters?"
The questions that seemed to follow the topic unintentionally were actually hidden secrets.
If Wang Shu answers yes, then she can take the opportunity to ask if there is a chance to participate in the show.
Wang Shu was amused and joked: "Have you guessed all this?"
"Of course!" Yang Mi snorted proudly, and then asked with gleaming eyes, "What did you say? Have you promised Director Han?"
Wang Shu asked her to sit down and responded: "I will be cooperating with Paramount to make a movie. How can I have time to make blockbusters in China?"
"Although Director Han mentioned this matter, I declined."
Yang Mi also knew that Wang Shu would not agree to Han Sanping because he had no time. Although she knew this, she still had expectations.
Now that he clearly heard Wang Shu's answer, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
She has terminated her contract with Rong Xinda, and now she really needs high-quality film and television resources to go higher and further.
I originally pinned my hopes on Wang Shu. For a great Oscar-winning director like Wang Shu, even if he can't play the leading role in his film, he can still play a supporting role.
Who knows, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Yang Mi's heart is quite strong. Although she is disappointed, she not only hides it completely in her heart, she also laughs and complains from Wang Shu's point of view: "It's true, Director Han, knowing that you want to cooperate with Paramount, still dragging you along." You say these things.”
After saying that, he acted as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Director Han doesn't seem to be someone who would give up easily. Since Director Wang is going to cooperate with Paramount next, has he asked you? What happened after the cooperation with Paramount? ”
Wang Shu poured a glass of water for Yang Mi and responded: "I have a question, but I am scheduled to shoot another movie in Hollywood after cooperating with Paramount."
"After filming the two films, they will go to next year."
"As for whether we will film in the country next year, I can't say for sure."
"When Director Han heard what I said, he stopped talking."
Yang Mi lifted the cup and wanted to drink water, but she stopped immediately when she heard Wang Shu's words and asked again in surprise: "After cooperating with Paramount, will you make another movie in Hollywood?"
"Yes, I have this plan." Wang Shu replied with a smile.
If Yang Mi didn't ask her if she had a chance to star in the film, since Wang Shu said it would be filmed in Hollywood, it had already been made clear that she had no chance.
Asking these questions has no benefit other than appearing utilitarian.
It's better not to ask.
She sighed softly, as if hinting to Wang Shu: "I don't know when I will be able to go to Hollywood."
"There will be a chance." Wang Shu heard this and said beautiful words with a smile.
In the original timeline, Yang Mi not only failed to touch the edge of the international stage, but also began to decline after her peak.
Yang Mi, as well as many actors, may seem famous but have little box office appeal.
Everyone has become a variety show star.
And doing too many variety shows is equivalent to consuming your future in the industry.
Unless you become an investor yourself, you will only get further and further away from the film industry.
When Yang Mi heard this, she rolled her eyes at Wang Shu. The eye roll was because she felt embarrassed, but actually she was happy when she heard the beautiful words.
Wang Shu took advantage of this gap and went to wash some fruits and put them on the coffee table.
The two chatted for a while. It was getting dark outside and it was getting late.
Wang Shu arrived home at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then received a call from Yang Mi. It took Yang Mi nearly two hours to get to Wang Shu.
When she arrived at Wang Shu's house, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
It's already seven o'clock in the evening.
Wang Shu then said: "Are you hungry? Let's go out to eat together?"
Yang Mi came to pay New Year greetings with gifts, but she had to take care of the meal no matter what. This was a matter of etiquette.
Regardless of whether Yang Mile is willing to eat it, he has to do it.
Yang Mi thought for a while and said: "Director Wang, I heard that you can cook, how about eating at your house? I can also try your cooking."
Wang Shu heard this and said: "There are no vegetables in the refrigerator."

Yang Mi said with a smile: "I can't eat much, so just make some."
Actors need to manage their bodies. Yang Mi didn't say this specifically.
Wang Shu responded: "That's OK."
"There are tomatoes and potatoes in the refrigerator. Let's make a tomato scrambled egg and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. In addition, I brought some preserved goods from my hometown, and I will get some preserved goods."
"Yeah." Yang Mi nodded quickly.
The tomatoes were not kept in the refrigerator, but outside.
Because tomatoes tend to rot easily in the refrigerator, they can be stored for a few days longer if left outside.
Wang Shu was alone in the capital, without a nanny, and often cooked by himself.
Of course, if the villa needs cleaning and dusting, he will ask the housekeeper to come over.
On weekdays, he is alone.
Rural people are used to it, and now even if they have money, they don’t hire a nanny.
Yang Mi followed Wang Shu to the kitchen and saw Wang Shu showing off his skills, so she insisted on helping.
Wang Shu saw that she was really bored, so he matched up with men and women so that the work would not be tiring.
It stands to reason that Yang Mi came to pay New Year greetings with gifts.
The visitor is a guest, so it’s definitely not easy for her to help with the cooking.
However, since Yang Mi is happy, there is nothing to say.
Besides, we are all young people, so just be happy.
With bursts of laughter, the meal was ready.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded hot and sour potatoes, steamed sausages, and fried chicken.
Unpretentious four dishes.
There was no cooking, so the two of them made oatmeal.
The main reason was that Yang Mi didn't want to consume fast carbohydrates. Wang Shu happened to have oatmeal at home, so he soaked the oatmeal and ate it.
Four dishes plus oats, steamed sausages and fried chicken are not healthy.
Dinner oatmeal with tomatoes, scrambled eggs and spicy and sour shredded potatoes, healthy and appetizing.
Yang Mi took a bite of the tomato scrambled eggs, her eyes brightened and she praised it repeatedly.
Wang Shu saw it and thought that this was a bit fake.
Several home-cooked dishes, especially the tomato scrambled eggs, are dishes that novices can make. They are not delicious at all, they can only be regarded as not bad.
He responded twice and started chatting while eating.
Yang Mi doesn't eat much. It's not because Wang Shu's food is unpalatable, but because she needs to manage her figure.
If you eat too much at dinner, you will easily gain weight.
After a while, dinner was over.
Wang Shu went to the kitchen to wash dishes, and Yang Mi followed.
Not only did he follow me, he also took the initiative to help.
If someone didn't know her well, they would inevitably think that she was a good wife and mother through her actions of taking the initiative to help in the kitchen and now rushing to help wash the dishes.
However, these are just Yang Mi's pretense.
The truth is, she is not such a person at all.
To be precise, this is not only true for Yang Mi, but also for many people.
Between men and women, before a relationship is established, they will package themselves more perfectly.
After confirming the relationship, I stopped pretending and all my faults were revealed.
If we can tolerate each other and be patient, we will be together.
No, the breakup is over.
Soon, the dishes and chopsticks were washed.
It was already late at this time. Yang Mi lived with her parents and needed to go home.
"Director Wang, I'm going back." Yang Mi looked at Wang Shu with a reluctant look in her eyes.
"Well, drive carefully on the road." Wang Shu answered.
Yang Mi got her driver's license in 2006 and bought a Mercedes-Benz C280 after starring in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III".
She didn't expect that Wang Shu didn't try to persuade her to stay, but asked her to be careful on the road, which made her feel a little disappointed.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Wang Shu walked towards the door and opened the door.
However, as soon as he opened the door, his back was embraced by a warm embrace.
"Director Wang, I like you!"
