Volume 1 Chapter 113: A Huge Check
On the stage, a cold and beautiful woman of Russian descent, Mira Jovovich, performed her energetic song and dance, capturing the eyes of countless audience members.
All you see is her movement, every step is full of sensuality, making people infatuated and entranced. However, this is completely different from the ordinary girl's thousand charms. When she puts her hands on top of her head, twists her waist, and moves her body forward with the most seductive posture, every normal man will be tempted by this boundless sensuality to the point of being overwhelmed, but no one will think that this posture is coquettish.
There is only sensuality that cannot be resisted, and it cannot be described in words. However, there is no coquetry to speak of. This is the greatest sensuality that Mira Jovovich brings to the stage, whether it's her singing, her dancing, or her eyes that are always full of rebellion and provocation, all of which confirm this point.
At this moment, watching Yifei Yang below, it can be confirmed that all the men standing in this hall must have an extremely strong desire to conquer her, because conquering such a woman is undoubtedly no less than Alexander's conquest of India. However, in their hearts, what is even stronger than this desire to conquer is the feeling of defeat. Because when you sit here, listening to her singing, watching her dancing, and meeting her gaze, you will realize that she is almost an unconquerable woman.
Because she radiates a dazzling brilliance all over, this brilliance is like the beautiful rainbow in the sky, only to be admired from afar. Admiration, but no chance of appreciation. She seems to be just before your eyes. However, when you really stretch out your hand to capture her, you will know that she is actually far away in the sky, unreachable, even if you have legs as long as those of Kua Fu, you cannot catch up with her. Not only can't you catch up with her, but she also doesn't give you a chance to get close. No matter how hard you try, no matter how recklessly you rush forward.
Yi Feiyang let out a soft breath and compared the Mira Jovovich in front of him with the future Mira Jovovich.
Milla Jovovich will appear more on the big screen, with Resident Evil as her representative work. Giving people a kind of female killer, doomsday heroine's intangible domineering flavor.
At that time, she, although not showing any domineering aura while singing, was unparalleled in terms of sensuality, especially her dance moves, which were no less than those of today's "Queen of Pop" Madonna, directly breaking the traditional and conservative Hollywood music scene. She slowly revealed women's sensuality as a sharp weapon.
It's just a pity that Yi Feiyang thinks, such an excellent woman, giving up being a singer is really a waste. If she continued to work hard in the music industry, maybe future little sweethearts like Brandy would only be able to play supporting roles.
Just as Yi Yi was admiring the stage, a voice rang in his ear: "How is it, Yi? Isn't Miss Mira's singing quite good?" It was Gusta who had just spoken on the stage.
Yi Feiyang: "Indeed, it's not bad. I didn't expect her to have such a wonderful voice and such a sensual dance posture. This song and dance is even more intoxicating than the red wine of today."
Gusta stroked his signature eight-beard mustache and smiled, "To be honest, I didn't expect Miss Mira's song and dance performance to be so excellent. Although I've heard that she debuted as a singer, in my eyes, I always thought she was an actress."
Gusta sighed and said, "At this moment, I still clearly remember her starring in 'The Fifth Element', the first time she appeared on screen, curled up, almost naked, oh God, when she raised her head for a moment, those azure eyes of hers seemed to be able to attract the souls of all men... At that moment, I knew that this actress would definitely become famous!"
"Now seeing her performance on stage again, every move is so charming and sensual, it's the epitome of elegance. With a naturally perfect body language, combined with such stunning dance moves, it's simply breathtaking. I can say that even if she didn't become an actress, just singing, she would still be a top-notch female superstar in the future." Gusta exclaimed.
Yi Feiyang nodded in agreement.
Although he doesn't know much about Mira Jovic's experience as a singer, judging from her performance just now, this girl is definitely star material. Even if she doesn't become famous for singing, she will shine in other areas in the future.
Looking at Yi Feiyang's appreciative expression, Gusta smiled slightly and said: "Alright, dear Yi, don't you think we should put aside the appreciation of this beautiful song and dance for now and take care of the serious matters first? The box office settlement is due, your 240 million..."
"What?" Yi Feiyang was taken aback. But he immediately understood, this guy is shameless, all along it was himself waiting for him to speak up and settle the account, now it's as if he was mesmerized by beauty, focusing on the performance and neglecting the main matter.
"Of course, where do you want to go and talk?"
"Let's go over there instead, it's quieter."
……
Yi Feiyang followed Gusta to a nearby rest hall, which was relatively quiet.
Gustave snapped his fingers, called his female secretary to bring over the contract, and then handed the box office data to Yi Feiyang. "Take a look, buddy, this is the total box office revenue of 'The Witch Blair', and this is the agreement we signed when we cooperated. You can take your time to study it carefully, or take it back to let your private lawyer research it thoroughly. Don't worry, as long as you sign it, this $24 million check will be yours."
Gusta stroked his handsome eight-character beard and smiled at Yifei Yang.
Yi Feiyang couldn't wait any longer, he came here to get the money as soon as possible. He roughly looked at the box office revenue content, then reviewed the agreement again, and finally picked up his pen and signed the document with a few strokes.
Gustave saw him so decisive and also smiled as he picked up the golden pen inserted in his pocket, brushing it, signing his own name.
"Here is a check for $240 million from Lehman Bank in the United States, which can be cashed at any time. However, if the amount is too large, you need to call them in advance. This is the business card of a manager in the service department of Lehman Bank, I am familiar with him, and if you have anything, just call him for help."
Can't help but say that Gusta is really considerate and meticulous, not only did he give the check, but also introduced Yi Feiyang to the intermediary of the bank.
Yi Feiyang forgot one thing, with such a huge amount of money, why didn't Gusta take the bank transfer method, which is safe and fast, but instead gave him a huge check?
Because he was too excited, or rather thrilled, Yi Feiyang, who had always been meticulous and cautious in his work, overlooked this point. For him, as long as he could get the money, everything was okay!
"Thank you, Mr. Gusta. At least I think our cooperation this time was very pleasant!" Yi Feiyang happily waved the check in his hand, which could be said to be the largest amount of money he had ever come into contact with. Just thinking about taking the check back to show it off to Gao Jiaobao's excited face made Yi Feiyang feel a thrill of satisfaction.
"Hehe, it's me who should be thanking you instead. The movie 'The Witch' has brought great benefits to our company, Liongate Films, but unfortunately, we didn't get to work together on 'The Witch 2'..." Gusta said with a regretful expression.
"But anyway, Yi. I really appreciate your talent, besides acting, you also have a business mind, yes, you are the most businessman-like director and the most director-like businessman I've ever seen... haha, all your moves make people feel so unexpected and surprising, just like your recent plan to shoot some porn movie... oh my god, at that time I was shocked, thinking, how could dear Yi stoop to that? He must have some unbearable secret... I believe you, dear Yi, if you really have something that can't be solved and need my help, I will definitely not hesitate!"
If Yifei Yang hadn't been familiar with this lion's temperament, he would have definitely been moved by such kind and caring words.
"Haha, sorry to worry you, Mr. Gusta. In fact, I chose to film this drama voluntarily, no one forced me or coerced me. And for this drama, I am very confident, whether it's the box office or word of mouth."
Gustave stroked his mustache absent-mindedly, then let out a dry laugh and said: "That's great, heh heh, of course I hope your career goes smoothly. Although we haven't known each other for long, I've already considered you my best friend and have been wishing you well all along! Just like this time, when your play premieres, I'll definitely go to cheer you on... Hmm, in short, I hope next time we have the chance to collaborate again."
Yi Feiyang thought that the conversation would end there and he could take the check and hurry home.
But he was wrong.
"Hey dear Yi, it's still early, we're such good friends, wait a bit, I want to invite you on stage to say a few words, is that okay?"
"What? Let me go on stage and give a speech?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, let everyone get to know you too, so those damn rumors won't spread all over the place!" Gust said with a heavy heart.
Yi Feiyang really couldn't think that Gus would be "so good" to himself, look, even creating an opportunity for himself to clarify the rumors and gain face, where can you find such a friend?
How can I refuse such kindness?!
"Well, I'll make an effort and go say a few words later." Although he wanted to keep a low profile, he had already made a big show earlier, so Yi Feiyang wasn't afraid of being recognized again.
"This is what you said, haha!" Gusta burst out laughing, and as he laughed so "lustfully", Yifeng suddenly had a very bad premonition.
