Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 413: Flattery
Actors didn’t really let loose at the dinner.
Although the table was filled with the freshest high-end dishes from Dragon Nation, the presence of the Rockefeller family made them feel a lot of pressure.
Finally, after everyone had satisfied Gu Jinnian and those superheroes with various shoots, he returned to the top floor suite of the hotel.
David’s son personally escorted Gu Jinnian to the elevator.
The attitude of complete adulation and flattery throughout truly ignited great curiosity among the actors about Gu Jinnian’s identity and background.
Afterward, security sequentially escorted them out of the hotel.
Once all of these people got back into their agent’s business van, their agents’ faces were already glowing with excitement.
Clearly, they had all received many resources released from this dinner.
Henry’s agent excitedly announced as he boarded the van, "Great news, DC has decided to reboot the Superman series, still starring you as Superman. Moreover, they signed a contract with us for five Superman films in one go, with a salary of 10 million US dollars per film!"
Henry’s pupils dilated, showing an ecstatic expression.
This was something he had dreamed of.
His first Superman film had only earned him a union-guaranteed base salary of 300,000 US dollars.
For the second film, they had given him only 1 million US dollars.
And because the film series hadn’t made money, his salary hadn’t increased.
"What exactly is this kid’s background?" Henry wondered, perplexed. "Even the heirs of the Rockefeller family flatter him."
This question also triggered the other actors who returned to the van to ponder.
Donnie, Thunder God, and others could not resist asking their agents about the other party’s background.
But since the agents hadn’t met Gu Jinnian, it was hard to comment.
Donnie’s agent said, "Marvel has already agreed to the profit-sharing model for the salary you mentioned before, and they’re asking if you’d like to accept it."
"Of course, I’m willing," Donnie answered immediately.
After leaving Marvel, he had taken on quite a few films, but all had flopped.
Many people outside said he was nothing without Marvel.
He wanted to prove them wrong, but other production companies were no longer willing to give him a chance, leaving him in a period of inactivity, only occasionally maintaining visibility through minor roles and cameo appearances.
Since he had no work now, he might as well bind himself completely to the role; he could make money and regain popularity.
To tell the truth, he did regret not continuing his collaboration with Marvel.
Previously, his salary with Marvel was the highest among all the superhero actors.
million US dollars per film, plus 7% of the global box office share.
Just from Avengers 4 alone, Donnie had earned 85 million US dollars that year!
If they were production companies, they certainly wouldn’t want an actor to walk away with so much.
Marvel had discussed reducing his salary, but he had been too proud and arrogant to agree back then.
Now he truly regretted it; if he could continue their previous arrangement, only a fool would decline.
Moreover, they were willing to follow the previous partnership model, which was like a pie falling from the sky for him.
"Unless something unexpected happens, both the Avengers and DC Universe series will reboot, and all the original cast members will remain unchanged."
Ben’s agent explained to him, "This is the latest movement from the two companies that I’ve gathered."
Ben frowned, saying, "Just to impress that young master, the two major companies are willing to spend heavily to kickstart the series?"
At the dinner table, he had heard Gu Jinnian say he really liked the grand scenes of movies like ’Avengers’ and ’Superman Alliance,’ thinking they were cool.
Then, the son of the Rockefeller clan leader, David, flattered eagerly, "Then, as the young master suggested, let’s shoot several more films."
Initially thought to be a joke, their execution was spot on.
"Oh, and Mr. Rockefeller has demanded that we strictly prohibit discussing anything about this young master with anyone, including the media, or the consequences would be severe!"
Almost all agents seriously warned their actor employers.
After the event, Gu Jinnian hurried into the suite where Gu Feng was, joyously letting loose, "Dad, look at my phone, I’ll show you all the photos and videos I’ve taken with the superheroes."
He jumped onto Gu Feng’s sofa, swiped open his phone screen, and showed Gu Feng the pictures and videos taken with many actors and celebrities.
His face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Gu Feng affectionately ruffled his small head.
Seeing his father chatting with Daniel Liu, Gu Jinnian didn’t interrupt; instead, he started a video call with his mother, Lin Yue, back in China.
He also shared with her about his encounter with the superheroes.
Seeing her son active and happy with his father, Lin Yue asked over the phone, "Is it fun being with dad?"
"Fun," Gu Jinnian nodded vigorously.
Lin Yue, smiling, asked, "What’s dad doing?"
Gu Jinnian didn’t know how to answer, so he just aimed the camera at Gu Feng.
At that moment, David walked into the suite, bowing slightly while listening to Gu Feng speak.
Gu Feng said to David, "The Cosmic Transmission Array is about to be open. You guys should discuss where in the city this should be set up. Let me know by tomorrow. While I’m still here, I’ll help set one up for your side; don’t miss the opportunity."
David was ecstatic in his heart.
Finally, the moment for the Teleportation Array had arrived.
They now had about fifty experts at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
All of them could only teleport to the two Nascent Soul Star System Territories for work, as Gu Feng had temporarily only opened the transmission channels between their star systems and Earth to the two internal Nascent Souls.
As for the other tens of thousands of arrays, they were still not operational.
If fully operational, many experts in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be able to explore unoccupied star systems themselves.
Though perilous, they felt the risk was worth it compared to the resources on those planets!
Moreover, the fact that the boss’s first stop was at the Eagle signifies how much he values the influence of the Eagle over the Europe and East Middle regions.
Otherwise, he should have gone to Central Asia first.
Thinking this, David became even more sarcastic.
"Rest assured, boss, we will come up with a plan today and respond by tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he cautiously inquired, "Boss, once the Teleportation Array is created, can we immediately start using it?"
Gu Feng nodded.
Joy sprang to David’s face.
If they could be the first to use the Teleportation Array, they would be far ahead of other forces in exploring various star systems.
With a thought, a comprehensive book appeared in David’s hands from Gu Feng.
"Print this atlas and distribute it to the people from other forces. It contains introductions to all the planets accessible through the Teleportation Array, including danger levels, and there’s a warning about which levels of Cultivators should not go where to avoid dangers at the Chaotic Burial Star."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie!" said David excitedly, quickly bowing, "I’ll discuss this with them in a meeting right away."
Gu Feng, no longer paying attention to him, got up and went to pick up his son, saying, "Come on, since we’re here, let’s go check out Disneyland."
With that, they disappeared from the spot.
