Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“You!” James was totally angered by these words. “OK, I shall see what your expression will be like when your movie can’t enter Merika!”

After leaving these words, James turned around and left.

“Oh my, Young Master, you have really created big trouble for yourself!” Seeing the two of them fall-out entirely, Lin Hao complained non-stop. To be honest, he had good intentions. This James had quite a large amount of power in his hands, so Lin Hao introduced him to Hong Dali. Unknown to him, this James came with ill intentions, and Hong Dali didn’t accept his request. As a result, this trouble was created.

However… Although the result couldn’t be considered good, Lin Hao still supported Hong Dali. If not, he would have already chased after James. Therefore, although Lin Hao felt that it was a pity, he also felt good about what Hong Dali did. At least, for all the years he had lived, he had never seen someone say something so domineering before. This was the time for him to pick a stand. “However, although the result wasn’t good, Young Master, your words were really domineering!”

“Isn’t that a must?” Hong Dali grinned and said, “I know you mean good. To be honest, if it wasn’t Big Turtle that he wanted to borrow from me, it’s ok for me to tolerate his Misophobia. However, you understand what Big Turtle represents. If I lend it to him, I will be in deep trouble!”

These words definitely weren’t alarmism.

What was Big Turtle? The divine beast, Black Tortoise! The totem that was worshipped in ancient China!

Lending it overseas to appear in a film? God knows what kind of character they would arrange for Big Turtle. Now, at Heavenly State, everyone’s passion and enthusiasm were very high with Big Turtle’s emergence. If it suddenly became an evil creature that the foreigners wanted to kill in their film, wouldn’t Hong Dali be scolded to death by the people?

He was a prodigal, he indeed spent money without thinking over it, but that didn’t mean he was dim-witted!

“Yes. Dali, this time, I fully support you!” Tang Muxin walked over smilingly, actively holding Hong Dali’s hand. “Although you squander all the time, is naturally dull, looks sickly, spends money without using your brain, sleeps and read novels instead of listening in class—but I realized that you are still quite domineering too! Who set the rule that Hollywood must be in Merika, these words were beautifully said!”

“I’m so full of flaws in your eyes?” Hong Dali was instantly speechless.

“Those are just small flaws. But in crucial times, I realized that you can still be relied on!” Tang Muxin pulled Hong Dali’s hand and swang it here and there. At this time, it was obvious that she was afraid that Hong Dali’s mood might not be so good, so she hurriedly smiled and said, “Dali, let’s not think about that anymore. Isn’t it just Hollywood? It’s not something valuable to us. Let’s go and bring Big Turtle out for a walk!”

“Yup, let’s go!” Hong Dali laughed loudly. Then, he looked at Director Lin Hao. “Lin Hao, it’s fine. Don’t worry, I will ask Big Turtle to cooperate with your shooting crew for a bit. Isn’t it just Hollywood, it doesn’t matter. How can just this James alone influence the entire Hollywood? He’s just scaring me, it’s not a big issue. Oh right, the movie name is now something like ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World’? Didn’t the main character need to find the cave? If there isn’t any other solution, we can just ask Big Turtle to bring him in, it’s not an issue.”

“Huh?” This time, something good finally happened for Lin Hao. Recently, he was worried about this part of the plot. Now, hearing Hong Dali say this, his eyes instantly shone. “Then, I really should thank you, Young Master!”

Other things aside, with Big Turtle participating in their film, the box office would at least double!

No matter how incredible or awesome that James was, could he double the box office? Obviously not!

Also, to be honest, Hollywood was quite xenophobic. Although the film industry in Heavenly State was doing quite well currently, they were still unable to open up the market over there. It was very hard to obtain good results in the box office over there.

Therefore, from the start, Lin Hao didn’t expect to obtain good results in Hollywood. After all, their culture was different, their aesthetic views also differed greatly. Historically speaking, the films from the Heavenly State didn’t have good reviews over there.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that even if this “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World” managed to obtain a box office of 30 million and more within the country, it could at most obtain five million USD box office in Merika.

“No need to be so polite.” Hong Dali nonchalantly waved his hand. “These are all small matters, small matters.” Saying so, he put this issue aside in the blink of an eye. “Time to move, let’s go out for a walk with Big Turtle!”

Lin Zixuan sighed and said, “Indeed, simple-minded people tend to be happier.”

Li Nianwei smiled and said, “This is why Young Master can live his life so carefree. If he calculates too much about everything, it will be very tiring.”

“Hehe, I know.” Lin Zixuan hugged Li Nianwei’s elbow and wheedled. “Using the words from my ex-classmate, Brother Dali is being ‘I am simple-minded but I am happy.’ Hehe, who cares about how others look at us, being happy is more important!”

“Young Master is more clever than you think!” Li Nianwei smiled and lightly pinched Lin Zixuan’s tender, small face.

As the few of them walked in front, Ling Xiaoyi walked beside Lin Hao and softly said, “Director Lin, please walk slower.”

“Miss Xiaoyi, do you have something to tell me?” Hearing Ling Xiaoyi’s words, Lin Hao knew that she had something to speak to him about. He instantly felt strange and asked in a low voice, “What is it?”

As the two of them fall back a few steps, Ling Xiaoyi softly said, “Director Lin, don’t you think that this is a good opportunity?”

“A good opportunity? What good opportunity?” Lin Hao couldn’t really catch what she was trying to say. However, he was also a very smart fellow. He pondered for a while and instantly understood. “What you mean is to stir up the people’s… Patriotism?”

“Director Lin is a smart person.” Ling Xiaoyi instantly nodded, smiled, then caught up with the rest.

“Good idea, what a good idea!” Only now did Lin Hao realize that those who followed Hong Dali were all not simple. “Yes, put Young Master’s words today onto the Internet. This way, isn’t it…”

He instantly took action upon thinking of it. Lin Hao didn’t follow Hong Dali for his walk anymore and decisively found a place to sit down, took out his phone, typed, and a Weibo post was sent out.

Xinhai Weibo, which had the most number of online users in the country.

Lin Hao from Penghui Films: “I’m very sorry to inform all the beloved audiences that because of some special reason, ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World’ will be unable to enter Hollywood. I can only express my grief for this. It’s a pity for this exciting film that the Young Master personally helped to script.”

After sending this post, Lin Hao secretly laughed in his heart. “Hehe. now that I said it this way, those film lovers’ curiosity will definitely be aroused. Then, when I post the reason, there’s no need to worry about the popularity anymore.”

As expected, within just 10 minutes after his post was sent, numerous film lovers had already viewed it. Some were scolding, some were curious, and some asked for the reason. But no matter what it was, this topic was successfully hyped up. The number of discussions and forwards increased frantically. Just an hour or so later, this post was already forwarded 50,000 times, and this number was still increasing at a fast rate.

The most important thing was that this topic was related to the Young Master, Hong Dali.

Hong Dali was definitely an influential figure on Weibo now. Anything related to him would definitely become a hot topic.

Therefore, the enthusiasm for discussing this topic was even more than that of the previous changing of the name for the movie, much more! Much faster!

Spectator one: “Director Lin, this can’t be, right? That’s Hollywood, what happened? Please tell us the truth!”

Spectator two: “Director Lin, please don’t do this. This is my most anticipated film for these past few years. If it can’t enter Hollywood, it will be such a pity!”

Spectator three: “Everyone, don’t fret. I believe that Director Lin will definitely tell us the reason, just wait for it.”

Spectator four to Spectator N: “Everyone, don’t fret, we believe that Director Lin will give us a reason!”

As for Lin Hao, he was sitting on his chair, eating snacks, and looking at Weibo. Seeing that the topic had already entered the hot topics ranking and the curiosity of the spectators was fully aroused, it was naturally time to release this heavyweight news. “Speaking of which, this matter caused me to have a whole new understanding of Young Master’s character. Last time, I always thought that Young Master was just a prodigal who squanders a lot. But now, I should really sincerely apologize to him. It’s him that let me understood what is called the backbone of a Heavenly State citizen!”

Once this Weibo was released, the spectators were curious to the maximum. A lot of people asked—

Spectator one: “God, what… What exactly happened? What did Young Master do?”

Spectator two: “That’s right, Director Lin, what exactly happened?”

These types of questions filled the screen. Everyone’s curiosities were aroused, and they had only one question in their mind: “What exactly happened to cause Director Lin to say something like this? We all know of Young Master’s big name, but what did he do to actually rise to the level of the backbone of Heavenly State’s people?”

Now, this topic had skyrocketed to number two in the ranking, just a small distance away from number one. Then, Lin Hao sent the third Weibo post. “You guys might not believe me for saying this. The cause of this incident is because of Hollywood’s famous director James. Today, I introduced James to the Young Master. I knew beforehand that James came with a motive, but I wasn’t sure what it actually was. Only when they met did I know… James was actually here to borrow the Black Tortoise! You all should know that the Black Tortoise is a sacred beast, a totem of our Nation, how can we just lend it away? Although the condition he offered in exchange was quite good, Young Master didn’t even consider it at all and directly rejected. The two of them had a dispute over it and, in the end, something Young Master said caused me to totally become his loyal fan. Young Master said—who set the rule that Hollywood must be in Merika? That’s what happened.”

Then, it was as if a stone was thrown in the water, causing thousands of ripples. The entire Weibo totally erupted!

Spectator one: “Damn! Good job, Young Master! Just for this domineering attitude of Young Master, I will definitely watch this film from Director Lin when it comes out, no matter what!”

Spectator two: “There isn’t a need to say anything else. Director Lin, don’t worry. Last time, I only watched movies at home, but this time, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you. I will not only just go by myself, but I will also bring my friends with me!”

Spectator three: “Well said, Young Master! Why must Hollywood be based in Merika! With Director Lin and Young Master in our Nation, we won’t lose to them!”

Spectator four: “Young Master, you are awesome! You really helped us to take revenge! I will definitely support you, 32 likes for you!”
