Chapter 210: One Shot, Three Hit (Part 2)

"What's the fan's name?" Reba looked confused, "I didn't ask."

Mr. Zeng felt a little sorry when he heard this, but he didn't take it too seriously. "Next time you encounter this situation, even if it's just out of courtesy, you should still ask. If you ask, your fans may remember it for years, and if someone says something bad about you, they will stand up to defend you."

Reba said hesitantly, "Okay, I understand." Then she suddenly remembered something, "But, he asked me for a signature, saying it was for a friend. His friend seemed to be a professor. What was his name? Oh, Professor Jorz."

Professor Jorz? Never heard of him.

However, the person who could casually give out a bottle of Wangshu Tears on the plane, and who was a first-class passenger traveling to Yazhou during the Chinese New Year, was most likely either rich or noble.

What a pity. If Reba was smarter, maybe she could attract some investment and make a killing.

Even though some dramas claim to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, in reality, the money put out by many investors is not their own. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but it’s more cost-effective to find a sucker.

The several dramas produced by Jiaxing have made good profits, but not all investors can make money. It depends on how the agreement is signed.

There is a dense group of producers behind every film and television drama. Some producers did not invest a penny but made a lot of money, some producers invested a small amount of money and ended up breaking even, and some producers invested a large amount of money but also lost the most.

If you ask where there are more scammers, the north may not be the first, but the film and television industry is definitely in the top three.

Even so-called big companies use the same methods to defraud money.

To be precise, the larger the company, the more professional and advanced the fraud, and the better the security isolation.

The business ethics bottom line of this industry is much lower than that of other industries.

Two years ago, at a dinner party, Fang Daqiang met a broker in the entertainment industry who was quite famous.

After the dinner, the broker started to organize events everywhere, trying to persuade Fang Daqiang to invest in a drama. It should be noted that the drama itself is quite good and was also popular a few days ago. The overall investment should be able to make a lot of money.

Fang Daqiang did some research at the time and thought the drama was good and had the potential to be a hit. Moreover, he had run a KTV for so many years, and several of his young sisters had become artists, so he could be considered to be connected to the entertainment industry. At that time, he really wanted to invest 400 to 500 million to give it a try.

And there are so many actresses.

If you are working in real estate and can’t call a few Bingbings, it would be so embarrassing.

When the time came, Fang Daqiang still didn't invest, because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the agreement was not right. On the surface, it could make money, but the costs, filming, publicity, and copyright were all in the hands of others. As long as the other party made some adjustments, even if the show made 100 million yuan, he would lose all of the 20 or 30 million yuan.

Finally, the broker found someone else, who was also a friend of Fang Daqiang, and invested 60 million yuan, and finally invested an additional 20 million yuan.

At that time, Fang Daqiang's friend was very excited every day. He would tell everyone in their small circle that he had sex with so-and-so, but so-and-so didn't really feel that way. Although so-and-so was not famous, he was really good at sex.

When the project was finally settled, the actual return was 12 million.

Fang Daqiang and the others were laughing. Seventy million was exchanged for two cannon shots.

One shot can match three Tomahawk missiles.

It's really a three-shot deal.

——

The first areas to be developed in Yazhou were of course Yazhou Bay and Dadonghai, followed by a second round of development in Yalong Bay to the east, where many chain five-star resort hotels moved in.

A few years ago, there was no more space in Yalong Bay, so Yazhou started to develop Haitang Bay further east.

Now it seems that Haitang Bay is almost full, and it is said that Qingshui Bay further east has already started to enclose land.

Although the newly developed Haitang Bay Wuzhizhou Sea Area Hotel is newer and more luxurious, Fang Yu still likes Yalong Bay the most. The beach here is the most comfortable. Although the hotel is a bit older, the service is particularly good, and it is close to the city, making it very convenient for eating, drinking and having fun.

In comparison, although the clarity of the water in Haitang Bay is similar to that in Yalong Bay, the quality of the beach is much worse.

It hurts my feet when I walk.

Because the booking was made too late, hotels with better value for money, such as Tianyu Mangrove, were already fully booked, so Fang Yu had no choice but to book a 400-square-meter three-bedroom suite with a 180-degree sea view at MGM.

If this apartment were bought in the off-season, it wouldn't be too expensive, about a little over 8,000 yuan a day. But now it's the Chinese New Year, so the price has increased by five.

In fact, this is not a big deal. There are more rich people in Da Zhou in the past two years. Fang Yu asked around and found out that some ordinary three- and four-star hotels that used to cost more than 400 yuan a day now charge more than 3,200 yuan for a standard room during the Spring Festival this year.

Among them, there are actually not many truly rich people. Most of them are so-called middle class people who are just pretending to be rich.

Fang Yu didn't understand what these people were thinking. Since they had the money, they could go to Long Beach, Phuket, Hawaii, or Tahiti. Any of them would be better than Yazhou. Why did they have to come to Yazhou?

You're talking about me? How can it be the same? Four hundred thousand is not even as much as my profit in one morning, but it's your year-end bonus for the whole year.

Fang Yu originally wanted to look at other hotels, but then he thought that a three-bedroom room also has its advantages, so he simply booked it for ten days, checked out on the 13th day of the first lunar month, and went back to celebrate the Lantern Festival with Lao Deng.

Moreover, the Lantern Festival also happens to be the first day of school.

After arriving at the hotel, settling in and washing up, Fang Yu took Tang Yufei to eat seafood, while Youzi stayed in the hotel to watch TV.

In fact, the least worthwhile thing to eat in Yazhou is seafood. The water temperature here is too high, and the seafood is all caught from Southeast Asia. They look big, but they have no taste.

The most important thing is that the seafood is overpriced.

"You checked in your car as well? It's so expensive. If you don't like taking a taxi, it's also very convenient to rent a car here." Tang Yufei felt a little distressed when she saw the G500 in front of her.

Fang Yu remained calm: "It's ten days. It's safer to drive our own car. Rented cars have eavesdropping devices and surveillance cameras, which makes it inconvenient for us to do anything."

The car was not checked in at all. When Fang Yu arrived at the hotel, he found a blind spot in the surveillance camera on the side of the road and released the car from the Unbounded Messenger.

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Tang Yufei blushed, but did not refute.

"Isn't this a rip-off restaurant? The moment you pointed at the fish, the boss fished it out and threw it to death. Two thousand two hundred for one fish? It's such a rip-off." After ordering the dishes, Tang Yufei was almost out of anger.

Fang Yu chuckled and said, "This is exactly the shady shop I want. If it wasn't a shady shop, I wouldn't come here."

He ordered dishes worth more than 10,000 yuan, which made the boss very happy. I haven't seen such a stupid person in a long time.

After eating and drinking, Fang Yu cast a disaster spell on the owner of the store and the three waiters who were accomplices to the evil.

As a result, in less than three minutes, the boss and three waiters were mixing flour in the kitchen and accidentally caused a small-scale dust explosion. All four people were burned, and the boss and the most arrogant waiter suffered at least severe burns.

The strangest thing was that the explosion did not implicate anyone else, not even a young cook who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

You deserve it.

Judging from the extent of their injuries, these two men may have taken one or two lives.

After calling the fire department, Fang Yu and Tang Yufei drove directly back to the hotel.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Fang Yu found that the swimming pool near the pool bar was very lively, as if some party was being held, but the surrounding area was obscured by the tall potted plants that had been moved in temporarily, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Shall we go swimming too?" Tang Yufei blinked. She was really a little scared now. Facing the night, she wanted to delay as much as possible.

It would be better to let Fang Yu swim for a while longer so that he won’t be too tired to swim at night.

Woman, you are wishful thinking.

MGM is most famous for its pool bar. In the past, it was the main gathering place for Yazhou’s most famous events every year.

Including the children's pool, there are a total of five swimming pools here, and all five swimming pools are connected. Fang Yu and Tang Yufei randomly chose a swimming pool and started splashing around in it.

"Ms. Repa, your performance in the previous drama was really great. Our company is also very optimistic about you and hopes that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." A burly middle-aged man with a beard and a wicked smile on his face raised the cocktail in his hand towards Repa, interrupting Repa's daydreaming.

Faced with this kind of nonsense in social situations, most people in the past would choose to be shy and humble, and then find a chance to get out of it or ask their assistants to help them out.

But today, for some reason, maybe because I hadn’t recovered yet, or maybe because I was too tired, Reba replied inexplicably:

"Which drama?"

"Huh?" The bearded man was stunned. "What?"

"You just said that I performed very well in my previous drama. Which drama was that?" Repa added.

"This... is the one..." The bearded man's face became obviously embarrassed.

How the hell do I know which one it is? I'm not a housewife who watches TV series every day.

I am a business elite and a representative of the brand.

"Mr. Cheng, you are here. Mr. Mo was looking for you just now. Do you want to go over and take a look?" Yang Mi appeared beside the two of them with a bright smile on her face.

The bearded man was obviously relieved: "Thank you, Miss Yang. I just happened to be looking for Mr. Mo. Bye first." Then he quickly disappeared.

"Thank you, Sister Mi." Repa thanked her guiltily. She also realized that she had just said the wrong thing. "I didn't mean to say that. I just spoke without thinking."

"You need to use your brain first." Yang Mi glanced at Repa coldly. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not helping you just for you. If you don't want to do this job, you don't have to do it and give up the resources."

"But if you do, don't hold others back."

Repa lowered her head: "I understand."

At this moment, there was a burst of playful sounds coming from another swimming pool not far away. Yang Mi and Repa looked through the gaps in the plants around them and saw a young couple playing in the swimming pool.

Handsome men and beautiful women.

With this appearance, she can become a top star even if she enters the entertainment industry.

Seeing the interaction between the young couple, Yang Mi couldn't help but feel some envy and nostalgia in her eyes.

What a simple love.

But then, Yang Mi's eyes became sharp again.

Love? Is it edible?

Afterwards, Yang Mi subconsciously glanced at Repa beside her.

Only young girls like this still believe in love.

"Mi, Sister Mi..." Repa suddenly spoke, hesitantly, "It seems that this boy asked me for an autographed photo on the plane."
