Chapter 77: Big-Headed Nanny Yang Xiaohu
"Damn it!"
"It's been stuck for half a month, but it's finally approved!"
It was past 2 a.m.
Fifth floor of Hehuan Film and Television.
Wei Yi pushed the keyboard forward and leaned back in his chair.
On the screen, the ending animation for the 40-player raid is playing.
In the middle of the night, the guild and team channels were bustling with activity.
Teammate A: "Mimi is amazing! Her overhealing level is so low!"
Teammate B: "Why don't you just come to our server and join our guild, Mimi?"
Teammate C: "Yes, yes, welcome, welcome! I'll cover the expenses—no, the sect leader is a super tycoon, let him cover it!"
Teammate D: "Mimi's healing is absolutely amazing! Oh, I meant the amount of healing, don't get me wrong!"
Wei Yi smiled.
Thinking to myself, Yang Mi's... breasts are indeed quite big.
Of course, this refers to the amount of healing done in the game.
He stood up, stretched, and sat back down in the boss's chair.
Outside the window, the lights of Chaoyang Park are sparse.
Yang Mi suddenly learned to play World of Warcraft, and she's quite good at it.
This really surprised him.
He had never seen her play this game on the news in his past life.
So it's quite obvious.
Either the media hasn't reported it, or she really does love to have fun.
This is probably a little less likely.
More likely...
Thinking back to this person's ambition, drive, and personality since their debut in their previous life.
Wei Yi understood perfectly well.
She had set him up.
However, he is secretly pleased with this situation.
After all, she was a true A-list female celebrity in her past life.
He's someone even a nobody in the entertainment industry would have to look up to.
What now?
She went to great lengths to please him, and was even willing to work as a cleaner in order to get closer to him.
He even secretly developed decent Warcraft skills.
What else is there to say?
The system says she's a female cultivator with top potential, and now she's working so hard.
She's also good-looking.
The milk supply is...very large.
only--
Wei Yi frowned.
Yang Mi signed with Li Shaohong's Rongxinda a long time ago, and there are still about two years left on her contract.
Like Fan Binbin, she couldn't directly switch jobs to this company.
Although her breach of contract penalty was only three million, it was nowhere near as high as Fan Xiaopang's fifty million.
But if he paid the breach of contract penalty to Yang Xiaohuli but not to Fan Xiaopang, who was already his woman, that would be a bit unreasonable.
That is indeed a problem.
He closed the game and opened the company reports.
Hehuan Film & Television currently has tens of millions in its accounts.
These are all payments from the film "One Shot".
If it were completely withdrawn, even after taxes, it would amount to more than 60 million.
Normally, the return on investment for a movie shouldn't be this fast.
If you encounter a bad distribution company, or one that's intentionally trying to scam you, the film might be out of theaters for a year or two before you've even received the remaining box office revenue.
Hehuan Films was able to receive the money so quickly purely because of the support of China Film Group and the favor of Han Sanping.
Wei Yi stared at the screen, deep in thought.
The film "Detective Chinatown" has claimed to have an investment of over 100 million yuan.
In reality, where would we need so many?
The original version only cost around 80 million.
Although Wei Yi was prepared to shoot something of higher quality.
But that was 80 million in 2015.
It's only 2006, and inflation isn't that bad yet.
It could be sold for a maximum of 50 to 60 million.
In addition, there are marketing and promotion costs of ten to twenty million yuan.
The total cost will not exceed 70 million.
Wei Yi and Hehuan Film & Television hold a 52% share, requiring a total investment of only 30 million.
So even though filming for "Detective Chinatown" has started, the company still has a relatively large cash balance.
Currently, the company's project list only includes "Detective Chinatown".
Just as he was thinking about whether to start a new project.
The system panel popped up.
[Sect Development Status Detection: Although the host has reached the Golden Core stage, the sect is currently supported by only one person. If this continues, the sect's fortune will inevitably be exhausted.]
[New Mission: Strengthen the Sect – Within three months, the sect must launch at least two mortal trials (film and television projects), and at least one of them must not be personally overseen by the host.]
[Task Reward: Unlocks the "Hall of Elders" function in the Sect Sub-System. Allows the appointment of Vice Sect Leaders, Hall Masters, and Elders, granting them sect bonuses.]
Wei Yi remained silent for a moment.
He cursed, "Damn it. You stupid system, are you really afraid I'll be bored?"
But deep down he actually agreed.
A film and television company cannot grow by relying on just one or two directors.
The new scenes from the previous life serve as a warning.
Once upon a time, New Pictures was a strong contender for the top spot in the domestic film and television industry.
But what happened next?
Zhang Weiping is nothing without Zhang Yimou.
The huge film and television company collapsed without a trace.
There's also Huayi.
Although Huayi Brothers focuses on a star-studded strategy, its most important pillar is actually the "Little Steel Cannon" (a nickname for a child actor).
The last decade has been a breakout period for "Little Steel Cannon," with its works achieving both critical and commercial success.
Later, Huayi collapsed, for various reasons.
However, the peak of Little Steel Cannon's creative period has passed, and its impact on it is enormous.
So whether it's for the company's long-term benefit or to earn more money.
Or perhaps it's to complete new system tasks and unlock new features.
This matter must be done.
Regardless of the fact that it was almost three o'clock, he picked up his phone and called his senior.
"Senior, did I disturb you? I wanted to talk to you about something, tomorrow..."
The next morning.
Hehuan Film and Television's small conference room.
There weren't many people at the meeting. Wei Yi, Li Hua, Mu Tingting, and a few recently recruited senior executives from the company.
Su Xiao, the chief planner of the content department, is a recent graduate of the Department of Literature at Beijing Film Academy.
Twenty-four years old, female, wearing round-framed glasses, with an artistic temperament.
Yan Jun, the director of the artist department, is also a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, a senior from the Management Department, Class of 00.
I have several years of work experience.
Cheng Xiaoqing, the head of the logistics department, is still from Beijing Film Academy.
He is in his forties and has ample experience in the logistics of film and television companies.
Although she originally studied acting.
"Boss, I think your idea of making another TV series is great."
Li Hua spread a market research report on the table.
He was notified last night that there would be a meeting today, so he got up very early to prepare the materials.
His dark circles were so obvious he looked like a panda.
"The national TV drama market has seen explosive growth in recent years. Last year, the ratings for 'Chinese Paladin' broke records, and 'Moment in Peking' sold to CCTV for 800,000 yuan per episode."
He paused.
"A well-made TV series can be just as lucrative as a movie. Of course, that's relative to other directors' films."
Because their boss's movies are incredibly profitable.
Su Xiao adjusted his glasses and added, "Right now, local TV stations are competing for exclusive broadcast rights to dramas. Hunan TV and Huian TV are both vying for good shows. Movies have too long a payback period, even with someone as successful as you, boss. In comparison, TV dramas definitely provide a more stable cash flow."
Wei Yi leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table.
It seems everyone agrees that the company should launch a new version.
He had actually already decided what to film last night.
The inspiration came from my great-grandmother Yang Mi.
There was a typo.
She's a wet nurse... never mind.
They all mean the same thing.
He is preparing to film "Palace Lock Heart Jade".
