While having Chinese food with Leonardo DiCaprio, the Human Purge Project had already begun filming, and Shen Fang wasn't worried about the project at all.

The result was meaningless; The Purge grossed nearly $10 million on the same day, demonstrating Universal Pictures' powerful marketing capabilities.

The box office might not have been this high even if it were one of the other eight major films, which is an important reason for the collaboration between Shen Fang and Universal.

"Shen, based on current reviews, The Purge has the potential to become a blockbuster. If all goes well, it could very well gross close to $200 million at the box office." Old Mike offered Shen a cigarette. He knew that Shen didn't like cigars, and he also knew that the young man in front of him was not only a super-rich man, but also a money-making machine that could bring huge profits to Universal.

"I'm not surprised that The Purge became a hit; the quality of the work speaks for itself. I'm not here today because of that; I have a new project I'd like to discuss with you."

"Speaking."

Shen Fang explained the Wolf of Wall Street project to Old Mike in detail, and also brought up Leonardo DiCaprio's involvement.

Old Mike's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Chen, we at Universal are very interested in this project."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Universal invests 40% and Longteng 60%, with Longteng taking the lead and Universal handling the publicity and distribution."

Old Mike frowned: "Control?"

Shen Fang shrugged: "Yes, I want this control not for anything else, I just want Longteng's reputation to be established, that's not a big problem, is it?"

Mike touched his cheek, looking like he was thinking seriously.

"For an A-list production, if Universal doesn't get control, there seems to be no need for Universal to cooperate."

Shen Fang lit a cigarette and looked up at the ceiling: "Mike, I can cooperate with Universal and other companies as well, but so far our cooperation has been very pleasant, so I don't want to break this partnership. I want fame, not profit. You should understand what I want."

“Chen, you need to know that when a company becomes too famous, that fame can be converted into money.”

Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth: "It's a win-win situation. I personally funded the project, the manpower, and the funding. My reason for joining Universal was firstly to take on the risk, since it's an A-list production, and it's a bit too risky for a personal company to produce it independently. Secondly, it's because of Universal's strong marketing and distribution capabilities. I hope our cooperation can continue for a long time. I think you should know that the Chinese domestic market is starting to become more active."

Old Mike looked at Chen Fang and lit a cigar in his hand.

“Chen, you are really putting a lot of pressure on me.”

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. After all, you should know that I'm still counting on Universal for my DVD copyright distribution business."

Old Mike smiled and said, "Shen, thank you."

Shen Fang smiled. With enough profit, gaining control wasn't impossible. For Long Teng to make a name for itself, a human purge plan alone wasn't enough.

"The proposal for 'The Kung Fu Dream' has been approved and filming is expected to begin in June."

Shen Fang nodded: "I will ask the people back home to take good care of things. You should communicate more with Ivanka about the Human Purge Project."

"Aren't you going to bask in the glory of this victory?"

Shen Fang shook his head: "After all, I am of Asian descent, and I am just the behind-the-scenes boss. I don't want others to know too much about me. Let Ivanka and North American Dragon Entertainment take the credit."

Mike smiled slightly; this Easterner was indeed very wise.

......

“Darling, I can’t bear to part with you.” Ivanka looked at Shen Fang with red eyes. She had finally come to America, only to stay for five days before having to leave. Her happy life was so short.

Zhukova, standing to the side, also clung to Shen Fang's arm with reluctance.

Shen Fang, holding his waist, looked at the two women with a helpless expression: "Darling, I'm only here for 5 days. If I stay with you every day, my body can't take it. You're really using me like an animal. Seven or eight times at a time, even if my body is in good condition, I can't stand it."

These words made the two women blush. These past few days, they'd been either in bed or on their way to bed. They really hadn't given Chen Fang a chance to rest at all; he was practically a juicer.

"I will come to spend Christmas with you at the end of the year. I am only here in my spare time this time because I have a lot of things to take care of."

"Really? You're going to spend Christmas with us?" Ivanka looked at Chen Fang with surprise.

Shen Fang pinched Ivanka's little face: "Good girl, I keep my word. You're not allowed to go out and play around. If you dare to cheat on me, I'll break your legs."

Ivanka pouted: "Ugh, I can't do it."

Zhukova got jealous: "Kiss me."

Shen Fang laughed and gave the two women a farewell kiss before reluctantly walking into the airport.

After boarding the plane, Shen Fang sat in first class, clutching his lower back, which was a little sore.

Shen Kun chuckled, "Third Uncle, I'm really worried about your health. How about I find an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some medicine for you?"

Shen Fang rolled his eyes: "I don't need it."

It's not that the kidneys are weak, but rather that the kidneys are constantly moving up and down, constantly bumping against each other. And the kidneys aren't made of iron, are they?

"Sigh, I wonder how Lanlan is doing." Shen Kun sipped his yogurt, feeling a pang of longing for his little sister.

"She's doing very well. She's been working hard to improve herself lately. With Boo-jin taking care of her in Korea, no one will embarrass her. Do you miss her?"

Shen Kun nodded: "We grew up together, of course I want to, Third Uncle, don't you want to?"

Shen Fang shook his head: "I don't have time to think about it. Okay, we'll see her as soon as we land. I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."
