Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Hearing the owner, Liu Dong, propose this solution, the hook-nosed woman’s expression softened slightly. Just as she was about to say something, her friend pulled her back.

The hook-nosed woman just shook her head at her friend, then said, "There’s still so much time! Your archery range is just sitting empty anyway, why not let us use it first?"

"Well..." Liu Dong looked toward Wu Yun’s group, looking troubled.

"What! Is that a no?" the woman said loudly, her gaze also shifting in Wu Yun’s direction.

Although she was argumentative, she wasn’t stupid. She could see that the foreigners looked like bodyguards from TV, and they were surrounding someone in the middle.

"Please wait a moment, I’ll go ask the guest!" After a moment of thought, Liu Dong decided to walk over to Wu Yun. After all, judging by Wu Yun’s group’s demeanor today, it didn’t seem likely they were planning to use the archery range.

"Mr. Wu, that lady is asking if they can use the archery range. Since you’ve booked the entire place today, I wanted to get your opinion. If it’s not okay, I’ll turn them away for you!"

Just as Liu Dong approached Wu Yun, the bodyguards parted to create a path. The person who had just been tugging on the hook-nosed woman’s clothes gasped in a low voice, "It’s actually him! No wonder he booked the whole place!"

"Junjun! You know him?" another woman with glasses asked curiously. She tried to get a look, but the bodyguards blocked her view.

"His surname is Wu! I just saw his face, I’m sure he’s the one from the internet..." The freckled woman was cut off by Liu Dong’s voice.

"Ladies! Mr. Wu has agreed! You can go have fun! Xiaoli! Take them over to get their equipment!"

A burly instructor stepped out and led the group of six toward the archery range.

This little incident dampened everyone’s enthusiasm for shooting quite a bit. However, with the intention of getting in some practice, the bodyguards returned to the shooting range.

At five o’clock, Wang Hao stood at the front counter. Liu Dong printed out an itemized bill with the calculated total and handed it to him. "Secretary Wang, after the discount, the total comes to 81,355 yuan! Let’s round it down for you, just 80,000 yuan will do!"

Wang Hao glanced at the bill. After confirming there were no issues, he took out the card Wu Yun had given him, which held 2 million yuan in expense funds.

After the payment went through successfully, Liu Dong presented a gold card with both hands. "Secretary Wang, this is a membership card for President Wu! Gold Card members receive a 20% discount every time they visit!"

"Understood! Thank you, President Liu!" Wang Hao secured the two cards and jogged toward the parking lot.

By the time Wu Yun and his group arrived at the reserved hotel, all the cast and crew members were already there.

"Sorry, everyone! We got held up on the way!" Wu Yun didn’t explain his whereabouts in detail, just offered this casual remark.

"President Wu, it’s no trouble, no trouble at all! We just got here ourselves!" Li Xue said with a cheerful laugh.

Just then, Qi Fei, who had been chatting with a few other actresses, spotted Wu Yun. She smiled at the women and said, "Excuse me, ladies! I have to step away for a moment. My boss is here!"

After Qi Fei had walked away, Wang Ou shook her head and said, "Sigh! Qi Fei is still too naive! She wants to hide her relationship with Wu Yun, but it’s not that easy. Everyone on this crew is sharp!"

Liu Mentao joked, "Oh, Wang Ou! I think you’re just jealous Qi Fei has a boyfriend like him!"

Wang Ou didn’t deny it. "Such amazing resources right from the start of her career! Who wouldn’t be jealous?"

But then she added with a wry smile, "But I know my limits. Even if I were ten years younger, I wouldn’t dare have any unrealistic expectations about these wealthy families! It’s not a world I can handle."

...

"Young President Wu! What took you so long!"

Qi Fei smiled and drew closer, catching a strong scent of gunpowder on Wu Yun. It was a familiar smell; from the filming of *Wolf Warrior* to the current production of *Disguiser*, explosion scenes and firing blanks all had this scent.

Qi Fei really wanted to ask Wu Yun what he had been doing that afternoon, but she held her tongue.

"Come on! Let’s all be seated!" Wu Yun called out.

Amid a polite shuffling as everyone offered seats to one another, Wu Yun took the lead and sat at the head of the table, flanked by the lead actor, Hu Ge, and the director, Li Xue.

There were a full eight tables of people.

After the waitstaff had filled everyone’s glasses with drinks, Wu Yun stood up, glass in hand. Everyone else quickly rose to their feet as well.

"Everyone has worked hard on this production! I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year!" After speaking, Wu Yun downed the contents of his small liquor glass in one gulp.

"Thank you for your hospitality, President Wu!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Alright! Please, enjoy yourselves!"

Only after this exchange did everyone sit back down.

The cast and crew, who hadn’t eaten such fine cuisine in a long time, had their appetites whetted, and the hall gradually grew lively.

Since they were all in the entertainment industry, the conversation naturally turned to showbiz matters.

After everyone at Wu Yun’s table had a drink together, Li Xue said with a smile, "President Wu, your Phoenix Entertainment has been making some big moves lately! I’ve been hearing a lot of news, even while busy filming!"

Wu Yun smiled and nodded. "They’re just small moves, really. We’ve acquired the rights to a few novel IPs, like *The Immortal Ascension* and *Heaven’s Cover*, for example. These are all novels I’ve read myself, and I’m very optimistic about their potential."

"Both are Xianxia novels. If we can adapt them into television series, I believe they’ll be no worse than *Immortal Sword*!" As Wu Yun said this, he looked at Hu Ge. "And that’s something I was just about to bring up! Teacher Hu! If you have the time, I hope you’ll consider playing the male lead in both of these series!"

Hu Ge hadn’t expected such a windfall to drop into his lap while just sitting at the table. He was just about to speak when he heard Wu Yun continue, "However, I want to wait until domestic special effects technology has advanced further or had a breakthrough before we film them! I consider these two books to be classics, and when the time comes, I’ll see them filmed whether it costs three hundred million or five hundred million!"

"By my estimation, we should start filming next year or the year after. After the New Year, I’m heading to the United States. I’ll check things out in Hollywood! If possible, we might even move the schedule up!"

No one thought Wu Yun was just bragging. His various companies had all achieved tremendous success recently.

Hu Ge said with a smile, "Thank you for your trust, President Wu! I’ll definitely give both books a thorough read when I get back! But I do have one question, why did you choose me for the male lead?"

Wu Yun laughed and said, "Teacher Hu! I practically grew up watching your *Immortal Sword*! In my mind, you *are* the quintessential male lead of Xianxia dramas! I feel the protagonists of both novels are a perfect fit for you!"

Wu Yun’s words made everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Seeing the tempted look on Li Xue’s face, Wu Yun also smiled and said, "Director Li, you should take a look at the novels when you get back, too. I don’t know many directors! You still have a chance!"

"Of course! Thank you, President Wu! I’ll toast to you! I’ll finish my glass; you drink at your leisure!"

Li Xue stood up, tilted his head back, and downed the baijiu in his glass in one gulp.

Wu Yun also downed the baijiu in his small glass in a single gulp.

After eating for a bit, Hu Ge also raised his glass. "President Wu! Thank you for giving me these two opportunities!"
