My capital is quite large.

In the multimedia conference room at the headquarters of Haofeng Networks in Shenzhen.

The creative team and actors of "Meteor Shower" are having their first script reading before filming begins.

In a corner of the conference room, Yang Yang and Li Xin sat together, clutching their scripts tightly, both looking somewhat reserved and apprehensive.

They looked around. Sitting at one end of the long table were Yu Haoming and Wei Chen, who had gained a lot of popularity through last year's Super Boy talent show; on the other side were several supporting actors who had already acted in a few dramas and were somewhat famous.

Among a group of celebrities who have more or less fans and a halo, these two completely newcomers, who have no qualifications other than good looks, were directly thrown into the lead roles. This not only made others look at them with curiosity and jealousy, but also made them feel very uneasy.

"Xin Xin, you said..."

Yang Yang lowered his voice, leaned close to Li Xin's ear, and asked with a hint of nervousness and confusion, "What exactly did our young Boss Li see in us? He spent so much money to forcibly buy us out of Director Li's hands, and even invested heavily in a drama series to make us the leads?"

Li Xin bit her lip and lowered her voice as well: "I don't know either... but I heard from those seniors when I was at Rong Xinda that many wealthy bosses from outside the industry come to the film and television industry to dabble in investment, but they are not actually here to make money, but to... to sexually harass female stars in the crew."

Upon hearing the words "unspoken rules," Yang Yang swallowed hard.

"But..." Yang Yang scratched his head, "I'm the male lead in this drama, I can't exactly be involved in a 'sex scandal' too, can I?"

Li Xin glanced at him with a complicated expression and muttered under her breath, "What do you know? I heard from my seniors that rich people have very unusual tastes; some bosses are bisexual!"

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yang gasped and instinctively squeezed his legs together, feeling a sudden tightness in his anus and the hairs on the back of his body standing on end.

But after carefully recalling the scene of seeing Li Feng in the office that day, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest to comfort himself, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our boss is so young; those who play around are usually those pot-bellied old men. And look at that female secretary who was standing next to the boss pouring tea that day—she was incredibly alluring, and the way the boss looked at her clearly showed he liked women. I'm definitely safe!"

Hearing Yang Yang's words of relief that "it's better to die than to die," Li Xin's worries only deepened.

Yang Yang is a man, so he's safe. But what about her?

He lowered his head, looking at the extremely generous 50/50 revenue-sharing contract in his hand.

She signed a ten-year contract, with a penalty of 50 million for breach of contract.

The boss is indeed generous now, giving her a script for the lead actress.

But what about the future? What if the show becomes a hit and the boss wants her to "repay the favor"?

If this drama doesn't become popular, or if the boss loses interest in her and stops investing resources in her, wouldn't her ten years of youth be completely wasted?

If you want to climb the ladder in this industry for a long time, and if you want to cling to this god of wealth, do you really have to offer yourself to the boss's bed like those rumors say?

Thinking of this, Li Xin's pure and stubborn face turned pale.

She has studied Kunqu Opera since childhood, and she carries the reserve and pride of a traditional girl in her bones. Asking her to cross that psychological barrier of selling her body now is simply impossible for her.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore..."

Li Xin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

She decided to be an ostrich and bury her head deep in the sand.

Let's take it one step at a time. At least focus on doing a good job in "Meteor Shower" first, and prove her commercial value with her acting skills and strength. Maybe if the boss sees that she can make money, he won't have any crooked ideas.

……

In the CEO's office upstairs.

Having just finished a thoroughly enjoyable punishment, Li Feng was standing in front of a full-length mirror, slowly buttoning his shirt.

Zhang Xinyu lay slumped on the large solid wood desk, her clothes disheveled, with a few suggestive red marks still visible on her fair skin.

Her eyes were glazed over, her cheeks flushed, like a completely tamed cat, her gaze towards Li Feng filled with infatuation and submissiveness.

"Clean this place up, and then approve the production budget in a bit."

Li Feng put on his suit jacket, turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out of the office.

For him, women were merely embellishments and diversions to his wealth and power.

Right now, his mind is completely focused on the vast entertainment empire he is building.

Li Feng went straight to the R&D center and found the technical director, Lao Chen.

"Mr. Li!" Old Chen immediately put down his work and greeted Li Feng upon seeing him. "Are you here to inspect the progress?"

"Hmm, how are the three newly merged projects doing now?" Li Feng asked as he walked, glancing at the programmers around him frantically typing on their keyboards.

"The one that's progressing the fastest is 'Cut the Rope'."

Old Chen handed Li Feng a test iPhone, saying, "Because we've thoroughly mastered the physics engine and collision algorithm in 'Angry Birds,' the development of the underlying gravity sensor and inertial calculations for 'Cut the Rope' is going very smoothly. The art department has been working non-stop these past few days, drawing the materials for the little green monster and the candy. It should be officially released on the App Store by the end of the month at the earliest!"

"Very good." Li Feng swiped the screen a few times, looked at the somewhat rough but excellent physical feedback semi-finished product in the test machine, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Fruit Ninja will probably need another month and a half to process a lot of screen swiping trajectories and particle cutting effects; as for Temple Run, which uses a 3D engine, it has the biggest workload and is estimated to be delayed until the end of the year before the first version is released," Old Chen reported truthfully.

Li Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his mind racing.

He knew very well that while smartphone games were incredibly lucrative, they had a fatal weakness – a very short lifespan!

Unlike later hardcore online games with strong social and e-sports attributes, single-player casual puzzle games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are easy for players to uninstall from their phones once they have completed all the levels.

To maintain its long-term success in overseas markets and remain at the top of the App Store's money-making pyramid, Haofeng Network must become a never-ending production line of hit games, using a constant stream of new masterpieces to maintain players' brand loyalty to Haofeng products!

Only in this way can he accumulate enough confidence to meet the real reshuffling of the future mobile internet.

"Mr. Li, what about our web game project team's 'Hu Lai Three Kingdoms'..." A manager leaned over and cautiously inquired about the progress.

Upon hearing the name, Li Feng paused for a moment.

To be honest, if his subordinates hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about this web game that tricked unsuspecting business owners into spending money on QQ Space.

The initial reason for launching the "Hu Lai Three Kingdoms" project was that investing in film and television dramas had drained the company's cash flow, and he urgently needed a web game that could reliably earn RMB to help the company recover.

But he never expected that the gold coins generated by touch screen mobile games overseas would be so insane! A net profit of fifteen million US dollars per month!

Compared to this global money-printing machine, the small amount of RMB revenue that "Hu Lai Three Kingdoms" earns on the Tencent Open Platform suddenly seems like a fly's leg.

"There's no need to rush with 'Hu Lai Three Kingdoms,' just proceed step by step and let things take their natural course."

Li Feng waved his hand, his tone somewhat nonchalant: "Put all the company's core technical experts and art resources into those three new mobile projects. Cut the Rope must be launched on time by the end of this month."
