My capital is quite large.

After sending Lao Chen away to carry out the "Root Digging Plan," Li Feng did not stop. He took the elevator down to Haofeng Film and Television Department.

In contrast to the geeky atmosphere of the game development department where everyone is frantically typing away on their keyboards, the film and television department is filled with tons of paper scripts and storyboards.

"Mr. Li!"

Han, the director of the film and television department, was having a meeting with several producers when he saw Li Feng come down in person and quickly went to greet him.

"How's the filming progress of 'Meteor Shower' in Xiamen?" Li Feng asked casually as he sat down in the main seat of the conference room.

"Very smoothly! Yang Yang and Li Xin, these two newcomers, have excellent camera presence and are incredibly hardworking. The production team rented the best sports cars and villas, and the costumes, makeup, and props are absolutely top-notch for domestic idol dramas. Filming is expected to wrap up before the end of the year," Lao Han reported.

"Hmm. But that's not enough."

Li Feng's gaze swept over the piles of messy scripts on the conference table. "Old Han, I'm here today to give your film and television department a new strategic task."

"I want you to acquire the film and television adaptation rights to all high-quality modern urban, family drama, and popular IP novels on the market within the next six months!"

Old Han was stunned: "President Li, our business is already quite large. 'Meteor Shower' is being filmed, and 'Lurking' is about to enter negotiations for its first run on major TV stations. Our film and television company, which was only recently established, simply can't keep up with all these scripts and copyrights!"

"Who says I have to take pictures right after I buy it?"

Li Feng walked up to the pile of scripts, his tone revealing a grand vision:

"Old Han, television stations are indeed the undisputed dominant force in broadcasting movies and TV dramas right now. But with the increasing speed of internet bandwidth and the widespread adoption of smartphones, do you believe that the future movie and TV drama market will inevitably shift to online video platforms?"

"Right now, Tudou and Youku are fighting tooth and nail over server bandwidth fees for long-form video content. But in the future, whoever holds the exclusive rights to high-quality drama series will reign supreme in this arena!"

"Our company, Haofeng Network, will definitely build its own streaming video platform in the future. So from now on, the film and television department is our arsenal! I want you to take advantage of the fact that copyright fees are still as cheap as cabbage and buy out all the future hits, building a content moat that no video website can cross!"

Old Han was terrified when he heard this.

The ambition of my boss is simply boundless!

They're making the world's highest-grossing mobile games, and now they're planning to build a future video streaming empire?!

"I understand, Mr. Li! We have the money in the account, I'll arrange for the team to cast a wide net and collect scripts right away!" Old Han nodded solemnly.

Li Feng casually flipped through the pile of script outlines that had been initially screened by the film and television department on the table.

In 2008, apart from spy dramas everywhere and some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, there were very few truly profound realistic themes.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, his gaze suddenly stopped on the cover of a script that was bound rather simply.

The cover of the script prominently displays two large characters: "Dwelling Narrowness".

Screenwriter: Liu Liu.

Li Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately pulled out the script.

"Where did this script come from?" Li Feng asked, pointing to the script.

Old Han leaned over for a look and explained, "Oh, this is a project by director Teng Huatao, adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Liu Liu. Director Teng is currently looking for investment everywhere."

"However, Mr. Li, our film and television department has assessed this, and this script is too sensitive."

Old Han lowered his voice, "It involves explicit depictions of soaring real estate prices, the despair of low-income homeowners, and even scenes of official corruption and keeping mistresses. If this were filmed, the content would be too explicit, and it might even have difficulty passing censorship. The risk is extremely high, so we've temporarily shelved it."

"Sensitive? High-risk?"

Little did Lao Han know that it was precisely this bloody depiction of the realities of society, exorbitant housing prices, and corruption that caused such a terrifying social upheaval when the drama aired in 2009 on its original historical timeline!

Hai Ping's madness in driving her husband to suicide to buy a house, Hai Zao's depravity in the face of money and power, Song Siming's power that evokes both hatred and fear...

This drama accurately hits the nerve that Chinese people feel most pained about right now – housing!

It is not just a TV series, but also a documentary of the times, and a bombshell that ignited public opinion across the internet!

"Old Han, your vision is still too conservative."

Li Feng slammed the script for "Dwelling Narrowness" heavily on the table and gave the order:

"Because it stings reality, once it airs, it will absolutely spark a nationwide frenzy of discussion! This kind of super hit show, which comes with its own hot social topics, is a sure-fire way to make a fortune, even if it needs to be cut for censorship!"

"Contact director Teng Huatao and screenwriter Liu Liu immediately!"

"Tell them that Haofeng Film & Television will cover the entire investment for this drama! No matter how much budget they want, or what level of veteran actors they want to hire, I'll pay for it!"

"But there's only one condition—all exclusive online broadcasting rights, overseas distribution rights, and derivative rights for this drama must belong entirely to Haofeng Network!"

Looking into Li Feng's unyielding eyes, Lao Han immediately stood at attention: "Yes, sir! I'll send someone to contact Director Teng right away and get this script as quickly as possible!"
