The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 321

"Hey! Don't do anything reckless! I'm a respectable person!" Chu Jiang was horrified. These beauties didn't even look as big as him. Their service was impeccable, but sitting directly on his lap was a bit too much!

"Master, from now on, I'm yours... I noticed you sometimes shake your leg when you're typing... I specialize in curing leg shaking..." the pretty waitress said coquettishly, instantly scaring Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp into a cold sweat. He had no choice but to push her out.

"Um... let's talk this out... I hate physical contact... I just turned eighteen yesterday, I'm still a teenager! A pure teenager! If you guys touch me again, I'll call the police!" Chu Jiang said with a stern face, and the beauties could only sigh and stand behind him.

After all, it was Ma Yunteng who instructed them to take good care of this struggling author; they dared not disturb Chujiang Pipixia's writing.

"You, hey, yes, you!" Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp pointed at one of the beauties: "Go get me a basin of water to wash my feet, I want to soak my feet while I type!"

"You, show me how cute you are!"

"Go open the window, and don't turn off the air conditioner. The air will be fresher, and I'll have more inspiration when I'm writing."

"What can I say to you? I told you not to dress so revealingly. People who don't know better will think I'm trying to take advantage of you!"

...

Over there, Ma Yunteng was having a brief discussion with Tudou.

"Potato, your movie adaptation has serious problems! How did the Dou Qi Continent turn into the Ma Qi Continent? Here's what I'll do: I'll give you 1 billion to remake 'Battle Through the Heavens'!" Ma Yunteng said to him calmly.

One billion!

Potato suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body!

Thank you to Wuyu for the 200 book coins reward, and thank you to Xu Linfeng for the 20 book coins reward. Thank you.

Chapter 227 Remake of Battle Through the Heavens [4 Updates]

"Terrifying!"

"Potato couldn't help but sigh."

Compared to Jack Ma, Tudou feels that the bosses he used to know were simply weak. His "Battle Through the Heavens" has extremely high commercial value, but 1 billion still sounds a bit exaggerated!

"Hmm! It's alright, not particularly terrifying. It's just a billion, right? You can come up with that!" Ma Yunteng laughed. To be honest, he also quite liked reading the novel "Battle Through the Heavens." Back in high school, he would often wait until late at night to read the updates from Tudou. At that time, Tudou was already known as "Tudou the Dragging Bean," meaning he was very good at dragging things out, and could drag out a climax for hundreds of thousands of words before writing it.

Ma Yunteng clearly remembers the passion he had when he read Battle Through the Heavens back then!

That's why Ma Yunteng plans to use 1 billion yuan to help the villain Doupo!

"Mr. Ma, but I've already sold the copyright! You should have said so earlier, or I would have sold it to you!" Potato said regretfully. To be honest, he wasn't too satisfied with the Doupo remake, but since the copyright had already been sold, he had to at least give the other party some face!

"It's okay, I'll just buy it back!" Ma Yunteng felt that since he liked this work, he would buy back the copyright no matter how much money it cost, and this time he wanted to remake Battle Through the Heavens according to his own understanding!

“But Mr. Ma, even if you buy back the copyright, you might not be able to remake a better version than the current one. As far as I know, the production team has already done their best this time. If we remake it again, it might not be as good, and its commercial value will be greatly reduced,” Potato said.

Indeed, given the current technology, it is very difficult to create a more exciting version based on the existing one. Moreover, Battle Through the Heavens has already been released, and if it were to be remade, the popularity would not be as ideal as before.

"It's alright, I've already thought about this!" Ma Yunteng said with a slight smile, "This time we'll invite Cameron to remake your Battle Through the Heavens! The Avatar movie was a huge box office success, largely due to its use of advanced special effects. If your Battle Through the Heavens is to be good, you have to put a lot of effort into the special effects!"

When Ma Yunteng mentioned Cameron, Tudou almost knelt down in excitement!

Indeed, Tudou (the author) has many complaints about the currently airing "Battle Through the Heavens," but in order to alleviate everyone's criticism, he still posted a Weibo saying that he was very satisfied because he knew very well that the production team had worked very hard.

This time, Ma Yunteng actually said he wanted to invite Cameron to help him remake Battle Through the Heavens.

What will the final product look like? Any film associated with Cameron will probably become a huge hit, right?

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!" Potato said excitedly.

"Don't mention it! Your book is quite good! I really enjoy reading it. Adapting Battle Through the Heavens is not only to help you, but also a wish of mine and many fans. However, I have one request for you this time!" Ma Yunteng said earnestly, looking at him.

"What are your requirements? Please tell me!" Potato asked, puzzled.

“You have to be involved in every detail of the filming! It will probably take you two months!” Ma Yunteng felt that the reason why Doupo was not adapted to capture the original flavor was largely because this guy was too lazy. So, this time he proposed that Tudou be involved in every detail.

"No problem!" Potato nodded excitedly.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. I'll send you a red envelope after the remake is finished!" Ma Yunte knew that to motivate Tudou, he had to give him a monetary reward.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

Ma Yunteng talked with Tudou for a long time before letting him leave. During the conversation, Ma Yunteng encouraged him to be bold in innovating his work and not to limit his thinking. Ma Yunteng highly recognized Tudou's storytelling ability and also urged him to strive to write better works to give back to the readers.

After that, Ma Yunteng had some contact with Mao Ni, Er Gen, and others.

During his interactions with them, Ma Yunteng discovered that these so-called supreme gods were not particularly special; each of them appeared quite peaceful. Ma Yunteng expressed his gratitude and praise to them accordingly.

After everyone left, Ma Yunteng briefly explained the various tasks he had to do to his employees. Just then, Ma Yunteng's phone rang. It was Shen Mange calling.

"Brother Teng, I can't hold on much longer... I, I want to quit! Xiangjiang Cinema doesn't have a single customer right now!" Shen Mange's sighing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly!"

"Qianda Cinema is currently offering a 50% discount on tickets, and many customers are flocking to Qianda Cinema to watch movies. Our Xiangjiang Cinema is practically deserted! Don't blame me for this!" After learning that Principal Chuang's cinema was offering a 50% discount, Shen Mange also offered a 50% discount at her own cinema. However, even so, the cinema's voice couldn't compete with the other cinema's.

After all, there is still a significant gap between Hong Kong Film Company and Qianda Cinema in terms of movie-watching experience.

"Okay! Don't rush! If no one's watching the movie, just organize the company's employees to watch it together. Wait half a month, and after half a month we'll make Qianda Cinema go bankrupt completely! Let it run wild for another half a month!" Ma Yunteng chuckled.

After ending his call with Shen Mange, Ma Yunteng continued to review the work progress reports sent by the various project teams.

After three days, all preparations for Yida Cinemas are proceeding smoothly. According to their plan, Yida Cinemas will be able to open simultaneously across the country within half a month at the latest!
