Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 582: Huaxia Soccer Wins the Championship
In fact, after watching the sample clips before, Chen Yiyang and Xu Liubai had a call discussing the quality of "Wild Brawl".
Both of them were very optimistic about the show's performance after it aired.
Based on their judgment, once "Wild Brawl" aired, it would surely become a hit series. When a traditional drama has decent quality, its reach becomes very high, and it has a good chance of ranking among the top three most popular dramas of the year.
However, neither Chen Yiyang nor Xu Liubai expected that "Wild Brawl" would become ridiculously popular.
It has only been a few days since its release, and the entire buzz has exploded, turning it into a phenomenon-level drama.
Judging by its current performance, being the number one popular drama of the year is already a sure thing, and it might even rank among the all-time most popular dramas.
Faced with such a phenomenon-level popular drama, people within the film industry quickly realized that this drama was also funded by Chen Yiyang personally.
Moreover, not only was it invested by Chen Yiyang, but many actors in the drama were personally selected by him.
Especially Zhang Songwen, who played the gangster boss, was personally invited by Chen Yiyang to act.
And now Zhang Songwen has transformed from an unknown little actor to the hottest male actor recently.
Mr. Chen, they said your vision was average.
How is this average? This vision is extraordinary.
Is it because you can tell which actor or director will become famous that whichever drama you invest in becomes a hit?
Chen Yiyang's extraordinary investment record in the film industry has now gained another achievement.
Previously, Chen Yiyang invested quietly and it was fine, but now, the "Three-Body" project is in the spotlight.
Everyone knows that Chen Yiyang took over this project, which has political and IP advantages, and is backed by big platforms like CCTV and Tengxu.
People must have gone crazy trying to get acquainted with Chen Yiyang to see if they could secure a role.
After all, with Chen Yiyang's high status, people couldn't find connections to get to know him and didn't dare to recommend themselves directly.
They could only crowd at the hotel where Chen Yiyang was staying.
What can Chen Yiyang do in this situation?
He could only take his accountant and go to stay at Gong Fan's house.
After all, Gong Fan was the one who originally connected him with this project, so it's fine to stay at his place for a few days.
However, as soon as Chen Yiyang arrived at Gong Fan's house, the director and screenwriter he personally selected for the "Three-Body" project started calling him, urging Chen Yiyang to finalize the casting decisions.
Because the crazy group of celebrities outside couldn't find Chen Yiyang, but they could find these two small role players.
These two had a middle to low status in the film industry before.
Now that Chen Yiyang brought them into the "Three-Body" project group, various big figures are calling to build relationships.
They didn't know what to do.
"Here's the plan," Chen Yiyang said to Director Yang Sanshi, "You and the screenwriter draft a recommended cast list, and after I review it, I'll give my input."
"Alright." Yang Sanshi nodded immediately.
While he could still resist all kinds of temptations, he quickly decided on a list based on his instincts.
Otherwise, in a few days, the external influences he received would be too much.
Chen Yiyang didn't really mind; besides wanting to place a few artists under his name into the project, he didn't have major demands regarding the actors.
As long as they weren't actors from idol dramas, generally, those who could become famous had decent acting skills.
It's not that Chen Yiyang looked down on idol dramas, but actors who often starred in idol dramas, even if they originally had acting skills, would lose them after a few years.
Because idol dramas focus on efficiency and attractiveness.
The audience doesn't watch idol dramas to see acting skills; they want the leading man and woman to romantically fall in love while looking beautiful.
As long as the filmed people look good, other requirements can be lowered.
In such situations, even actors with acting skills tend to focus on modeling and makeup during filming.
Over time, they get into the habit, and when they return to dramas requiring acting skills, they perform poorly.
"I'll have someone bring over some daily necessities for you."
Gong Fan saw that Chen Yiyang finished his call and sat on the sofa opposite him and said, "Do you have any special needs?"
"No need to go to so much trouble," Chen Yiyang said, "Yifan and I aren't particular about things; just give us whatever you usually use."
After saying that, Chen Yiyang leaned back on the sofa and said to Gong Fan, "There's a human-robot soccer match at the Robot Sports Meet tomorrow, Huaxia team versus Germany team, want to watch?"
"Oh, Huaxia's robot soccer team is that good?" Gong Fan got interested. "Let's watch it then, I make sci-fi movies and didn't realize the scenarios in those films have already become real."
The next day, Chen Yiyang and Gong Fan went together to watch the 3V3 soccer match at the Robot Sports Meet.
The Huaxia team did not disappoint, successfully defeating the Germany team to win the championship.
See, who said Huaxia's soccer team winning the championship is science fiction?
Isn't that quite realistic?
After watching the match, Chen Yiyang received a call from Schaefer.
"Bro, my flight is arriving at your country's capital today, can you pick me up?"
"What are you doing in Huaxia?" Chen Yiyang didn't expect Schaefer to come to the Imperial Capital.
"Here to talk business, if you have time, help me as a consultant."
"Sure, no problem." Chen Yiyang nodded.
At night, he picked up Schaefer from the airport and took him to the hotel.
"I've got some trouble recently, can't stay at the hotel, is it alright for you to stay there alone?"
"What trouble?" Schaefer asked curiously.
"Too much charm, every celebrity in the country wants to know me."
"That's a normal thing. A young tycoon like you, even if placed in Europe, at any party, you'd have countless attractive people flocking to you." Schaefer said as a matter of course.
Forgot about cultural differences for a moment.
Chen Yiyang simply changed the topic, "By the way, what kind of business are you here to negotiate?"
"Seeing if there are ready-made power plants here in Huaxia, to buy one and transport it to North America."
"Power plants?" Chen Yiyang was completely baffled.
He felt there might be some misunderstanding in Schaefer's words.
"You mean finding a construction team here to build a power plant in North America?"
"No, no, no," Schaefer said, "It's not to build, but to buy a power plant here and transport it entirely."
"Is business that big?" Chen Yiyang was a bit incredulous.
Transporting a power plant, that must cost a fortune.
"Of course, do you know who commissioned this business to me?"
"Who?"
"Musk," Schaefer said.
"That Musk from Tesla?"
"Yes." Schaefer nodded, "And if I do a good job with this deal, companies like OpenAI might come to me for help afterwards."
