Chapter 51: Blockbuster


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Why?!" Ding Chengzhi was stunned when he heard what Hong Dali said. The classmates were all shocked as well.

Tang Muxin tugged at Hong Dali's sleeve and said, "Dali, it's 200,000 yuan. And it is just for them to use the song. Why not?"

Two hundred thousand as the licensing fee was not a small amount. This was not just a monetary transaction. This meant that a well-known company like Penghui Films acknowledged Caiwei Entertainment. This meant that with just one song, Li Nianwei could shoot to stardom and no longer be an unknown singer bullied by others.

But Hong Dali disagreed. It was no wonder these people were so shocked.

All of that meant nothing to the superprodigal Hong Dali. He rubbed his nose and said naturally, "Who knows what kind of standard Wind Pursuer has. I don't want Sister Nianwei's first famous song to be destroyed by a lousy movie. I'm not short of money anyway."

Normally, even if Ding Chengzhi was not able to obtain the song to use as the theme song for the movie, he wouldn't be concerned about saving face. "Lightning Pursuit" might be a good song, but he could always find another song, even though the new song might not be as suitable. As the saying went, one could hit his head and bleed, but one couldn't lose face. This prodigal young master had actually said that his film was a lousy film. He could not tolerate this any longer.

Ding Chengzhi exasperatedly said, "Our Wind Pursuer is a blockbuster with more than 10 million invested. It is in no way a lousy film. Within the country, the number of films of such a caliber is lower than five!"

In this world, a film with a production budget of more than 10 million was really a blockbuster.

When the surrounding classmates heard the production budget, they all drew in a cold breath at the same time.

What kind of person was Hong Dali? He had died on Earth and been reborn to this world. Ten million yuan in this world was only equivalent to 50 million yuan on Earth. That was peanuts in the film industry. There was no way this number could scare him. Hong Dali continued to appear listless. "It is just 10 million yuan... Wind Pursuer , just the name sounds like it will be a lousy film..."

Ding Chengzhi was fuming with rage. This person in front of him was the young master of the Hong family, the only son and descendant. He could not afford to offend this young master. Hence, he could only try his best to calm down and use his gentlest tone to ask Hong Dali, "What would be considered a blockbuster in Young Young Master Dali's opinion? Ten million is the most we can gather for the production budget."

Hong Dali sniffed. "It seems your company is just average. Show me the movie first. If it is good, I will invest another three million yuan. As for the name of the movie, Wind Pursuer does not sound impressive at all. How about The Gale Flash ? That sounds good."

An additional three million yuan investment in the end?

Ding Chengzhi felt like his heart could almost not take it. Previously, he had heard that the Hong family's young master Hong Dali was a prodigal. But he could finally see it for himself today. Not only was Hong Dali a prodigal, but he was also a superprodigal.

To invest three million yuan just like that? The only condition was that they change the title of the movie?

This was like money dropping from the sky. There was no way he would miss it. Ding Chengzhi hurriedly replied, "Okay. I will report to my boss now. On my return, I will bring what has been filmed to show to you, Young Master Dali. The percentage of profits from the box office will be according to the usual rules, in proportion to whatever Young Master Dali has invested."
