Chapter 113 Useless
Gong Yanchang showed an appreciative expression and said, "It's all the better that a young man knows how to cherish his reputation!"
Don't worry, my operational channels are far superior to those of some makeshift operations.
As long as your movie is of decent quality, I guarantee it will gross at least 200 million at the box office!
I said it!
The big shot's words sent Wang Xiaohao trembling all over.
It can truly be described as exuding domineering aura!
However, the box office revenue depends on the market and whether the audience likes it!
Can you really make that decision? Can you force the audience into the movie theater and make them watch the movie obediently?
Perhaps sensing Wang Xiaohao's indifference, Gong Yanchang said, "Our company still has some overseas connections! We can even sell overseas box office tickets."
For art-house films, the copyrights are still very easy to sell!
Well, if the film is of good quality, the company can also help you secure a few international awards. At that point, the copyright should fetch a higher price.
In short, don't worry about these business matters.
Just focus on making movies!
I'll handle your logistics; I can take care of all the other miscellaneous things!
Wang Xiaohao was almost as humble as a lackey in the face of the boss's domineering presence.
Stepping out of Starlight Company, I immediately felt a sense of relief!
"Brother-in-law, what do you think of this Wang Xiaohao?"
In the CEO's office at Starlight Company, Lü Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Gong Yanchang laughed and said, "He's quite an honest man!"
He's probably new to the industry and hasn't become a seasoned veteran yet, so he still cherishes his reputation!
He's a smart man; he knows that no matter where you are, if you want to last, your reputation can be bad, but it absolutely cannot be too bad!
Lü Xuan: "What do you mean?"
She came from a wealthy family and married into a good one, so she never had to worry about anything in her life.
Naturally, I don't understand any of these intricacies!
The reason she volunteered to be Jin Ningxin's assistant was that she was extremely bored at home.
Just like Jin Ningxin, the two of them are indeed very interested in the glamorous entertainment industry.
But if you ask her about her actual business skills... well, let's not talk about such useless questions!
Gong Yanchang probably knew this guy's personality, so he could only patiently explain: "This Wang Xiaohao is usable, but he's a bit too stingy, haggling over tens of millions!"
He really comes from a humble background! He's too easily swayed.
It's fine for Ningxin to work on movies with him, but it's best if nothing romantic happens between them!
Lu Xuan disagreed, saying, "Given our family's current situation, we don't need to focus on things like arranged marriages."
Whom she chooses to marry is her own business; as long as she's happy!
Gong Yanchang laughed and said, "That's not what I meant! And don't talk about wanting a marriage of equal social standing or anything like that."
Rather, it means that men from humble backgrounds who achieve success are very difficult to deal with!
The more privileged a person's life and the more harmonious their family are during their childhood, the more well-rounded their personality tends to be.
Conversely, even if only one thing is missing, the more flawed their personality will be as they grow up.
It is said that people with extreme personalities often possess extraordinary artistic creativity.
But for Ningxin in our family, these things are completely unnecessary.
I'd rather she find a partner with a sound personality and compatible character!
This was a profound truth, and Lü Xuan couldn't find a way to refute it for a moment.
They were even subtly persuaded by Gong Yanchang.
Others may not know Gong Yanchang's skills and abilities, but Lü Xuan knows them very well!
Although Lü Xuan was convinced in her heart, she was still unconvinced in her words.
She couldn't help but retort, "The way you put it makes it sound like talent is worthless!"
Gong Yanchang laughed heartily and said, "On the contrary, I respect talented people the most."
Especially in the film industry! I've figured it out; in this industry, nothing else matters.
Talent is the most important thing!
Lu Xuan was taken aback, not expecting to hear such words from Gong Yanchang. She couldn't help but ask, "Really? I feel like you don't really value Director Wang."
"Isn't Director Wang quite talented?"
Gong Yanchang laughed and said, "Of course it's true!"
However, talents vary greatly!
Director Wang Xiaohao always makes love stories, what future can he have?
What does it mean if the box office is at most 300 to 500 million or 500 to 600 million?
In my opinion, movies should be big, epic films, featuring massive battles or spaceship adventures.
Only films like this can break into the international market and create a huge impact.
This is exactly what our family needs.
All that talk of love and romance is ultimately just a small-scale affair in the domestic market; it's utterly meaningless!
Lü Xuan retorted, "No wonder you always pick big-budget international productions for Ningxin! But I haven't seen you make Ningxin famous!"
Gong Yanchang was deeply affected by Lü Xuan's words and couldn't help but cough.
He has vision, ability, substantial funds, and strong execution capabilities.
It seems he has everything he needs!
However, if he wants to make blockbuster films and create a huge international impact, he still lacks the most important thing: artistic creativity!
He doesn't have any of that!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Jin Ningxin to star in so many big international productions!
He would never agree to let Jin Ningxin film those small-scale love and romance productions that he considered meaningless!
As soon as Wang Xiaohao left Xingguang Company, a driver immediately got out of the luxury car, opened the door for him, and invited him in.
This was also the car and driver that Starlight Company provided for him.
As for accommodation, they even booked a suite for him in a luxury hotel on a long-term basis.
This allowed Wang Xiaohao to suddenly live the life of a true tycoon.
They travel by luxury car chauffeured car and stay in hotel suites.
Horizontal scroll—Delightful!
Then, while the car was still halfway there, Wang Xiaohao heard a text message notification.
When I opened it, I was immediately shocked.
Holy crap, all 25 million has actually arrived in my account!
Big brother, are you really that confident in me?
Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the money?
And shouldn't this funding be in the hands of the producers, applying for it in batches?
They just put it all into my account like that.
Isn't this just like handing over the warehouse to rats to manage?
While Wang Xiaohao was dumbfounded, he was also filled with unease!
He has a rather peculiar personality.
That means he can't stand others being too nice to him!
He feels embarrassed when others are kind to him.
On the contrary, it's best if people like Huang Anzhong, who are constantly scheming against each other, don't owe each other anything.
Now that the money was handed directly to him, Wang Xiaohao was caught off guard!
Whether it was filming "My Sassy Girl" or "My Love from the Star," Wang Xiaohao had never experienced this kind of treatment.
