Back to 17, My Brother is the Cult Leader

Chapter 133 Big Boss

"Wow, my brother! You've really changed a lot in just a few days!"

As Huang Xiaoming was reminiscing, Sister Li's phone rang, and he quickly went out to answer it.

When she returned after a while, Sister Li's eyes were a little red, and she bowed to Fang Yuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"Have all the problems been resolved?"

"The company and the production crew just called to say they will issue a clarification statement and that we should go back to the set as soon as possible."

Qin Lan, who was standing next to her, finally stopped crying and smiled, thanking him repeatedly.

"No need to thank me, go back to the film set as soon as possible, and don't let anything else happen."

Huang Xiaoming also tried to persuade her, and Qin Lan finally agreed to go back the next day.

Sister Hua took a chair, pressed Fang Yuan down into it, and started massaging his shoulders from behind.

"Oh dear, we really need Mr. Fang to step in. Such a big matter was resolved with just one phone call."

"Haha, Sister Hua, you're going to spoil me like this."

"Of course, of course, Mr. Fang. I heard your company has two big projects next year. Could you perhaps give Hua some consideration?"

Sister.

"Holy crap, is there a spy in our company?"

Sister Hua patted his shoulder. "Don't talk nonsense. There's no spy here."

"I just had a cup of coffee with Hao Wei a few days ago."

"Okay, we'll deduct it from her salary when we get back."

"Don't interrupt, okay?"

"What can you do? You're already in bed, what can you possibly do?"

"What procedure? I'm sure I'll be fine. The doctor said I'll be discharged soon."

"Sister Hua, reduce his projects a bit. Coordinate with Hao Wei on his schedule next year, arrange some time for him to reflect, hone his acting skills, shed his 'greasy' image, and lose weight!"

"Where am I oily?"

"Give me a break, don't you have any self-awareness? Even among your classmates, you're completely outclassed by many. Don't you read the comments online?"

"Who can control me?"

"Two dramas next year, two leading ladies, Yan Danchen and Zeng Li, facing off against each other. You decide what to do."

"I'm waiting to see you get crushed face-to-face by your classmates, hahaha."

"When will the project start?" Sister Hua's eyes lit up.

"Wait for Hao Wei to contact you. There's no rush this year. I still have a tough battle to fight at the end of the year."

"What tough battle? Huh? You're not going to... again?"

"Ahem, Sister Hua, what are you thinking? I was talking about Zeng Li's album."

Sister Hua looked incredulous.

The next day, Qin Lan and her companion, already on the plane, were still reminiscing about everything they had seen in the hospital room the day before.

"I never expected that Huang Xiaoming's biggest backer would be Fang Yuan." Sister Li said in disbelief.

"Yes, all I knew before was that they grew up together."

"The most mysterious bigwig in the industry is actually so young."

"Lanlan, do you think it's possible for us to get resources from Yuanchuang?"

"That's difficult. Xiaoming told me that Fang Yuan doesn't like to deal with people in the industry. Hao Wei and Li Xinyu handle all the external affairs."

"And their company doesn't sign artists."

"What about Zeng Li and Yan Danchen?"

"They're different; they own shares."

"People are just different. Oh well, I'd better think about how to explain this when I get back."

Fang Yuan has been busy signing contracts these past two days.

Director Li Hong has taken over the preparatory work for "Full House".

Wu Wenhui agreed to Fang Yuan's plan because they found that the resources available on the market were far from meeting the conditions Fang Yuan had offered. Ultimately, they chose the same equity structure as Rongshuxia.

Li Xinyu handled all the formalities after the signing was completed. This was the fourth acquisition case she had handled, and her legal team was already very skilled.

The office was also located within the park, and the apartment provided delighted the Qidian team, directly eliminating any worries they might have.

Xiaomei handled all the administrative arrangements.

At present, Fangyuan's planning and layout have basically completed the initial stage, and what remains is to develop slowly.

Qihang Capital holds controlling stakes in three companies: Tencent, Rongshuxia, and Qidian.

Yuanchuang Culture Media holds controlling stakes in Bad Monkey Pictures and Happy Twist Pictures.

Source Productions is a film company he personally invested in.

It's only 03 now, and Fang Yuan hasn't considered how to adjust it later. Right now, it's just a framework, and there's still a long way to go in terms of time and scale.

Fang Yuan has visited China Film Group not many times; now that I think about it, this is his third time.

The first meeting was about the investment share allocation for "Big Shot's Funeral," which was quite unpleasant. The second meeting was about the domestic release of "Happy Death Day," and Mr. Han was very cooperative.

I came here this time because of the scheduling issue for "If You Are the One".

"Mr. Han, it's been a long time."

"Oh my, what a rare guest! What brings our young and handsome CEO Fang here?" CEO Han said sarcastically.

"Haha, Mr. Han, your words make me a little embarrassed."

"How could I dare? I'm the one who offended General Manager Fang!"

"Mr. Han, if you keep doing this, I won't dare to come to your door again."

"Hey kid, what's up?"

He took the brochure for "If You Are the One" from Hao Wei and handed it to President Han with both hands.

"I'm here to let you know that the film just got its license and we're preparing to set a release date."

"Oh, you've chosen a date?" President Han asked while flipping through the brochure.

"Okay, I've chosen it. It'll be released during the Lunar New Year season."

"The Lunar New Year film season is great! The Lunar New Year film season!" President Han stood up in surprise, pointed at Fang Yuan, and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong, Mr. Han?"

"You really hold grudges!"

"What do you mean, Mr. Han?"

"I don't believe you didn't know that Feng Xiaogang's 'Cellphone' was scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday."

"I really didn't know. I just got back from Hollywood. I had a ton of work piling up at the company, and I just finished up and came straight here."

"Cellphone has been invested in by China Film Group, so you should think about it carefully."

"President Han, I really need to have a serious talk with you. You can't always be so biased. If you have funds, you should invest some in people like us too. Why is it that Huayi Brothers always seems to get your special treatment?"

"Are you short of funds? Have you given others a chance with your project?" President Han asked with disdain.

"I'm here today to ask Mr. Han for help."

"Really? Tell me about it." President Han clearly didn't believe it.

Fang Yuan reached out his hand, and Hao Wei handed him a document.

Mr. Han took the document with a puzzled look and opened it: the "Treasure Hunt Alliance" project proposal.

"President Han, I plan to launch this project next year. It's a big undertaking, and I'm a bit young, so I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it. I'll need someone like you, a pillar of strength, to keep things under control."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you mean."

"I plan to make this project a co-production between five companies in three countries and four regions, with a total investment of US$1500-2000 million."

"So big?" President Han exclaimed in surprise. "Tell me more about it."

"My idea is to select one company each from four regions: China, Hollywood, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Yuanchuang and China Film are the domestic companies, and I will select one company each from South Korea and Hong Kong."
