Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

That's exciting enough.

Andy rarely felt this kind of exhilarating excitement.

She became increasingly agitated the more she thought about it.

If this matter can be successfully completed as Li Haoyu envisions, it could very well become the largest IPO in recent years.

Tens of billions? Or even hundreds of billions?

Anything is possible.

This made even Andy, who was used to seeing money, feel tempted.

This isn't just about money.

If this actually happens, it might be included in modern finance textbooks.

This was a path she had never imagined.

No... it's a path I dare not even imagine.

At this moment, Andy felt an absolute sense of being crushed.

This is a true example of dimensional reduction.

Andy felt again that her previous performance was probably a complete joke in Li Haoyu's eyes.

Li Haoyu looked at Andy, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"I'm going to find Qiu Yingying for a drink. You can think about it some more."

"I'll give you a little more time to think it over. I hope you'll give me an answer when you come back. You don't have much time left."

This was his last chance for Andy.

Although Andy is excellent, he is not irreplaceable.

Although there aren't many people familiar with the financial listing process.

But as long as the money is right, you can find any suitable person.

Although Li Haoyu has a carefree attitude towards games, he wouldn't treat Snail Games as a toy to amuse Andy.

She doesn't deserve such special treatment.

If it weren't for the need to rack up model points, Li Haoyu wouldn't actually be that interested in girls like Andy. He preferred teasing the naive Qiu Yingying and the innocent Guan Juer.

However, this would be possible if Andy agreed before he returned.

He wouldn't mind giving Andy a ticket to the snail game.

After all, Andy's core support base is there.

As long as she's willing to help him manage that mess, it will save Li Haoyu a lot of trouble.

All he needs to do is grasp the general direction of the snail game.

In this way, Li Haoyu can have Andy do things when there's something to do, and do Andy's things when there's nothing to do.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

…………

However, Li Haoyu did not find Qiu Yingying.

This woman loves to join in the fun:

Qiu Yingying is naturally cheerful and loves to chat. After spending some time with the crew, she has become quite familiar with them.

In addition, because she just gave away her phone, her popularity has skyrocketed, and I wonder who she's chatting with now.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but think: If Qiu Yingying went into the entertainment industry, she might be even more successful.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Haoyu turned his head away.

It turned out to be that cowardly fatso, Wang Tian.

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Seeing that familiar smile of yours, I knew you had your eye on me."

"There's something I'd like to talk to you about?"

Wang Tian dismissed Li Haoyu's words, pointing to the table not far away.

Li Haoyu and Wang Tian have always had a good personal relationship, and Wang Tian had just helped him.

"Just tell me what you want to do."

Li Haoyu asked with a smile.

Wang Tian felt somewhat helpless.

He downed the beer in his hand in one gulp.

He looked somewhat dejected and helpless.

"Working at a TV station is tough. I'm even thinking about quitting."

Wang Tian sighed and continued.

"Taking your X-rays these past few days has reignited the last embers of my idealism."

Li Haoyu heard Wang Tian's words.

He knew what he was up to.

If Li Haoyu hadn't known Wang Tian so well, he might have actually been fooled by his performance.

"You want to make another movie?" Li Haoyu said.

Wang Tian immediately perked up.

"I knew making movies was difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult?"

"I studied film in college. After graduation, all the ambition I had when I entered college vanished."

"Because I need to make a living after graduation, I can only do jobs unrelated to film, which I don't really like, but I have no choice..."

"In the dead of night, I often dream that I am standing on the awards stage at a film festival. My mother witnesses my moment of glory."

"At that time, she was crying her eyes out in the audience, and I felt..."

Li Haoyu patted Wang Tian on the shoulder and continued the conversation.

I don't think there's ever been a moment in my life when I felt happier than this. You've said it to me so many times, I could recite it by heart.

Wang Tian was exposed by Li Haoyu.

But he wasn't embarrassed at all.

This is not only because of his personal relationship with Li Haoyu.

Also, because his thick skin has long been worn down in the entertainment industry.

What's the use of having a sense of shame in the entertainment industry?

Wang Tian had long understood one thing: if you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you have to be shameless.

He didn't know about other circles, and he wasn't sure. But in the entertainment industry, shamelessness was definitely a skill.

In the entertainment industry, if you want to be pure and virtuous, you either need connections or a powerful background; otherwise, you have to follow the industry's established practices.

If you lack talent and are unwilling to take risks, you won't survive in the entertainment industry!

Anyway, once you become famous, you can find a suitable, foolproof persona to portray and clear your name.

We're all part of the same big melting pot; no one is cleaner than anyone else.

Therefore, he also needs to find a sugar daddy to rely on.

It's not shameful; after all, who wouldn't want to reap the benefits and be carried along by someone else?

However, Wang Tian had never made a movie before, so he needed to find a wealthy patron who trusted him.

Such people are rare and hard to find.

Even glamorous female celebrities struggle to achieve this, so what makes him so special?

Fortunately, he met Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu is quite wealthy; Wang Tian knew this from the very first day he met Li Haoyu.

However, Li Haoyu became increasingly wealthy later on.

Actually, at the beginning, Li Haoyu's wealth was still within Wang Tian's comprehension.

But before long, Li Haoyu's assets grew at a rate that left him speechless.

However, Wang Tian never spoke to Li Haoyu about it.

Wang Tian previously felt that his abilities were indeed insufficient to make movies.

Making a movie rashly is not only irresponsible to one's own career, but also a disservice to one's friends.

The reason Wang Tian started dating Li Haoyu was, of course, because Li Haoyu was very rich.

At the time, he felt there was no harm in making a wealthy friend. Later, it was simply because he and Li Haoyu shared similar interests and could get along very well.

Today, Wang Tian felt the time was right.

The script he's been working on for years now, and he's also a director with a small reputation in the industry now.

Wang Tian felt it was time to pursue his dream.

He planned to ask Li Haoyu if he was interested in investing, and also to inquire about Li Haoyu's attitude towards his filmmaking.

After all, Li Haoyu has always had a very sharp eye.

His judgment on all things is exceptionally accurate. From national affairs to real estate and stocks, Li Haoyu has his own insightful views and has never made a wrong judgment.

Wang Tian planned to take this opportunity to ask Li Haoyu how he viewed the idea of ​​making a movie.

At this moment, Wang Tian, ​​who was always joking around, also became serious.

Seeing Wang Tian's expression, Li Haoyu knew that the other party was serious.

He also became interested in Wang Tian's plan to make a movie, after all, Li Haoyu had made quite a few movies in "Growing Pain 2".

Li Haoyu also got serious.

He casually asked, "What kind of movie do you want to make?"

Wang Tian rubbed his hands together excitedly, "How can we talk about this kind of thing here? Let's find a more suitable place to chat."

"Where to?"

"bathroom:"

Li Haoyu immediately stood up.

The restroom was quiet, making it an absolute haven for men to chat.

For some married men, the toilet is a place that can be considered a refuge.

There are several famous sayings circulating in the martial arts world:

When a woman says she's going to the toilet, she definitely is; but when a man says he's going to the toilet, it's not always the case. The excrement that makes a man disappear in the toilet generally falls into two categories: real excrement and fake excrement.

The toilet door acts like a gate, blocking out the trivialities of life that can overwhelm a person.

However, this time both of them are genuine.

They felt very relaxed after using the toilet.

Wang Tian stated frankly, "I want to make a romance film. These kinds of movies have small budgets and a loyal audience who like this kind of subject matter."

"My previous TV dramas followed the same path. I wouldn't say they made a fortune, but covering the cost shouldn't be a problem."

"Your dream of making movies doesn't seem to be like this. Don't you want to make realistic films, films that are universally praised?"

Li Haoyu stared into Wang Tian's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Taking too big a step can lead to trouble. I'd better practice first. You can't get fat in one bite."

"So what do you need me to do now?"

Li Haoyu asked a question.

But he didn't agree to take on everything.

Li Haoyu wanted to see what Wang Tian thought.

Wang Tian continued, "This is my own business. The main female lead for the drama has been almost finalized."

"The lead actress, plus two or three main supporting actresses, have all been bought out by their backers. I've already raised a considerable amount of money, and with a little effort, I can finish filming the movie."

"However, I also want to improve the quality of the film, so I plan to raise a small amount of investment, and I will also put some of my own savings into it."

Li Haoyu laughed when he heard this.

"You actually dare to invest your own money? Aren't you afraid of losing everything? So many great directors have failed because of investing in their own films."

Wang Tian shook his head. "There are definitely risks involved, but I will only take action if it is within a controllable range."

"I've already negotiated the price with the online platform after the film's theatrical run. It's a considerable sum. This means the film will most likely make a profit; the only question is how much."

"I used my handsome face and went to great lengths to get this done with the female purchasing manager."

Li Haoyu: ……

You can play it like this?

This can be considered as opening up a new world for Li Haoyu.

He had only ever dealt with the box office revenue sharing model before, and he never expected that Wang Tian could come up with such a unique approach.

Li Haoyu also learned from it.

Although he couldn't use it, his useless knowledge increased a little more.

This sounds like a very unreliable idea.

However, after listening to the story, Li Haoyu felt that the matter was likely to succeed.

Because the person who said those words was Wang Tian.

Li Haoyu believed he was capable of doing all of this, and even better than he had described.

This is Wang Tian's consistent style.

Don't let his usual jovial demeanor fool you; he never utters a single serious word.

Everything she says is something she's very confident about.

Wang Tian saw Li Haoyu deep in thought.

He didn't urge Li Haoyu.

Wang Tian simply lit a cigarette, puffing away as he waited for his reply.

Wang Tian didn't have to wait long.

Li Haoyu spoke up: "Then let's play a game together."

He was being very polite.

Wang Tian excitedly stubbed out his cigarette, smiled, and said, "Hehe, I know you understand my talent, and you're reliable."

Li Haoyu laughed and said, "But since I'm going to get involved, you don't need to look for anyone else. I'll take over the rest of the investment."

"Since you're treating this movie as a practice project and a simple business venture, then please reserve one of the more likable female characters in the film that doesn't require too much acting skill."

"I have a friend who really loves acting, and I want to help her fulfill her dream."

Li Haoyu made up a story.

Wang Tian heard Li Haoyu make the decision.

Overjoyed and excited, he trembled and instinctively reached out to shake hands with Li Haoyu.

However, Wang Tian quickly realized that it was indeed not appropriate for the two men to shake hands at this time and in this place.

He quickly withdrew his hand.

It's no wonder Wang Tian was so happy; he wasn't actually after Li Haoyu's investment.

For Wang Tian, ​​at least, money is the least important thing.

If Wang Tian wanted to, he could still attract funding based on his years of experience and connections.

What he valued was Li Haoyu's personal influence.

As long as Li Haoyu is involved in this movie, those in the industry who know about Li Haoyu's achievements will look at this project with more respect.

After Snail Games is released.

Once Li Haoyu is truly exposed to the public eye, his fame will skyrocket. His films will also gain considerable recognition.

At that time, Wang Tian talked to Li Haoyu about this matter again.

The nature of it is completely different.

...............

Wang Tian was still happy.

Li Haoyu, however, remained quite calm.

The reason he agreed to invest in Wang Tian was actually quite simple.

There are roughly a few reasons.

First, this investment is a small amount for Li Haoyu. There are basically no decision-making costs. The future profitability of the project is also predictable.

Secondly, Wang Tian is my friend, and his abilities and personality are trustworthy.

Wang Tian put in a lot of effort for this promotional video, and this is a favor he needs to repay.

Third, while Wang Tian's film may be commercially successful, it will certainly not be a good film in the conventional sense; in fact, it's highly likely destined to be a flop.

This would be more suitable for Li Haoyu.

He can also put people into movies without any psychological burden.

After all, the entertainment industry has always been a place of fame and fortune.

This is something that many people desperately want.

After all, it's common knowledge that the entertainment industry is a fast and lucrative business.

He happened to have a suitable person by his side: Fan Shengmei.

Ever since they met at the bar, Li Haoyu has been ignoring Fan Shengmei.

He now felt the time was right.

Because when he took Qiu Yingying home last time, he caught a glimpse of Fan Shengmei's gaze.

When she saw Qiu Yingying carrying a different designer handbag every day, and Li Haoyu picking her up in a luxury car all the time, she was deeply moved.

Her eyes burned with rage; she wished she could replace Qiu Yingying.

Isn't this perfect?

Li Haoyu also wanted to get his hands on Fan Shengmei, a woman with a captivating charm.

Eat it.
