Chapter 251: Can't Tell Xiaowang from the King (Part 2)
Gu Yi didn't hesitate and immediately took out a document stamped with red seals from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Bai, then stepped back again.
This time, Gu Bai directly tossed the document in front of Hu Ge and said, "I won't paint you a big picture, but I give you my most solemn promise. Our Black Swan Film and Television currently has 7 TV series, and 5 films with investments over a hundred million have already been set up. As long as you join my company, you can choose any of these projects. If you're not afraid of sudden death and are willing, I can give you the lead role in all 13 projects, dominating the big and small screens for 2018 and 2019!"
After Gu Bai's bold words, it was unclear if Hu Ge was tempted, but the four internet celebrity hosts nearby seemed moved.
Although they are not mixed up in the entertainment circle, they are well aware of how fierce the competition for resources is in the entertainment industry. Getting a lead role in a film with an investment over a hundred million is something that even a regular star would be thrilled about, and Gu Bai offered five in one go.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such sugar-coated bullets falling on them?
But before Hu Ge could answer, Gu Bai said again, "If you aren't interested in those projects, you can look at the document in front of you. This is the $2 billion investment global market film 'Divine Tomb' that I promised you. As long as you nod, you will be the lead, and although this film's initial investment is $2 billion, I don't know how much more will be added later. It might be $1 billion or it could be $2 billion, but one thing is undeniable, this film aims to break the current film records. If it doesn't break the box office record, I will break the investment record!"
Hu Ge looked at the document in front of him full of red stamps; it's obviously impossible to say he wasn't moved. Such a role is coveted by actors not only domestically but worldwide.
"I gave you some time to think it over before, but today I'm not giving you too much time. Consider this meal as your time limit. If by the end of this meal you still don't agree, then let's pretend I never invited you, and I imagine we won't have any cooperation in this lifetime."
Hu Ge didn't speak, but it was clear his heart was indeed in turmoil, undecided.
Suddenly, just as Gu Bai was waiting for Hu Ge's reply, his phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he was a bit puzzled but still answered the call.
"Hello, Sister Mi, how does a busy person like you have time to call me?"
On the other end, Yang Function laughed with her unique voice, "Only I can be busy all day and can't relax a bit?"
"You're a billionaire, can't you rest as many days as you want?"
After a few polite exchanges, Yang Function asked over the phone, "I just called President Xiao, and she said you're at the Peace Restaurant now?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"It just so happens that I'm around here too. Do you mind if I join for a meal?"
"How could I possibly refuse when Yang Dahua Dan graces us with her presence? It's in Box No. 1, you can ask the waiter to bring you over."
Having received Gu Bai's response, Yang Function hung up the phone with a cheerful smile.
"Yang Function?"
Seeing Gu Bai hang up the phone, Principal Wang, sitting beside him, quickly asked. He originally wanted to directly mention Da Mimi, but seeing so many people, he held back.
Gu Bai looked at him and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Who else could it be besides her?"
With Gu Bai's confirmation, Principal Wang's face also showed a few smiles.
"I never expected that a simple meal would gather the top male and female stars of the TV industry."
Just after a few jokes were made, there was a knock on the door of the box. Responding to Gu Bai, the waiter excitedly invited Yang Function into Box No. 1.
Compared to Hu Ge's full disguise, Yang Function was much more straightforward. Without any concealment, one could recognize her at a glance, no wonder the waiter was so excited earlier.
Upon seeing Yang Function, Gu Bai immediately smiled and said, "Sister Mi, it's not easy to get a meeting with you, the busy one. Last time in the Capital City, I couldn't even invite you to our nightclub for a show."
Yang Function was also straightforward and sat down next to Hu Ge, complaining, "You talk about nightclubs? I entrusted Di Li Ruo Ba to you, asking you to take care of her so she wouldn't get bullied, and she ended up being bullied."
Speaking about this matter, Gu Bai also showed a bit of guilt.
"That incident was indeed my fault, next time I'll personally make it up to her."
"Remember, you said that."
After greeting Gu Bai, Yang Function also greeted Principal Wang and Hu Ge, and as for PDD and others, she gave a slight nod. Although Yang Function wasn't sure why Hu Ge was here, she had important business to attend to, so she didn't bother to ask.
Principal Wang, who had been holding back for a while, finally found a chance to ask Yang Function, "Isn't it said that the second season of 'Future Son' is being prepared? How do you have time to be in Shanghai?"
Yang Function calmly and unhurriedly answered Principal Wang.
"The big boss of 'Future Son' is sitting here and is not in a hurry, so why should I, just an invited guest, be in a rush? But I do have something today."
Hearing this, Gu Bai also laughed, "I knew it, Sister Mi, you wouldn't come to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. So what's the matter?"
Yang Function called out to the door, "Come in."
The box door was pushed open again, and a skinny man in a suit, but looking like a dwarf, appeared at the door.
