How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 3 I Want to Be a Director!

Wang Xiaohao thought to himself, "Because I want to become a film director!"

Within the industry, only film directors are qualified to be called true directors. What kind of director is a television director?

It's like how a painting by a proper painter is a true work of art, while paintings made by assembly line workers in an oil painting village can only be called handicrafts at best!

One was a painter, the other a worker!

The difference is just that huge!

Of course, Wang Xiaohao only entertained these thoughts in his mind, and he would never dare to say them aloud.

So he blurted out, "Shuangshuang's main audience used to be TV dramas. If we make another TV drama, how much of an effect will it have?"

On the contrary, film, a new field, avoided its previous audience and created a completely new image. That's what made everyone exclaim "Wow!" upon seeing it…

Knowing that his explanation wasn't very convincing, he quickly added, "Also, the quality of movies, well, the style is much higher than that of TV series!"

Only through success in film, making Xiao Shuang a huge star, can many things be suppressed and dispelled!

Qu Qiuju wanted to say more, but Wang Xiaoshuang's eyes flickered, and she made up her mind: "Mom, no need to say anything more. It has to be a movie! I've decided, it has to be a movie!"

Wang Xiaohao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and his fingers trembled slightly.

So, does this mean the lobbying was successful?

"This script is good... If a good director makes it, it'll probably be a hit!"

Regardless of Wang Xiaoshuang's temperament or personality, she has definitely good judgment to have made a name for herself in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

Especially in the realm of idol dramas!

My Sassy Girl isn't an idol drama, but it's pretty much like one!

She looked up at Wang Xiaohao in surprise, and she really didn't expect that Wang Xiaohao could write such a good script!

Wang Xiaohao quickly replied, "I've already registered the script! I want to be the director, that's my only requirement!"

Wang Xiaoshuang's face darkened. The script was good! But to be on the safe side, she definitely wanted to find a good director to film it!

But now Wang Xiaohao has shut down that possibility with just one sentence!

Wang Xiaohao wasn't lying; he really did graduate from the directing department.

He probably can't forget his ex-girlfriend Wang Xiaoshuang and also wants to enter the entertainment industry. So he went to study directing!

Of course, he didn't graduate from a well-known professional institution like the China Film Academy or the Beijing Film Academy.

Instead, they graduated from the makeshift Film Department of Nanchuan Academy of Arts!

So naturally, in the years since graduation, I haven't had the opportunity to film movies or TV series, and can only film some wedding videos or the like.

He wasn't exactly living a miserable life, but he was at least better off than the average person.

However, he is still a long way from officially entering the industry and becoming a director!

Therefore, Wang Xiaohao must seize any opportunity that comes his way!

Wang Xiaoshuang was very dissatisfied. She suppressed her anger and wanted to reason with him, telling Wang Xiaohao that he was not suitable to be a director!

You're a complete novice, and you want to make movies right away? Where do you think you'll find such a good opportunity?

Wang Xiaohao quickly replied, "Xiaoshuang, you've never made a movie before. What kind of good movie director do you think you can find?"

Besides, even if you actually find a great film director to work with, are you sure he can capture the essence of the script?

Besides, aren't you worried that if the film director actually comes to you, he'll just kick you out and replace you with a different actor?

This kind of thing happens quite often in the industry, doesn't it?

You're not really part of the film industry, so there's no reason for them to give you face!

just me!

I'll be the director, and that's why I'll definitely make you the female lead; there won't be anyone else!

Besides, I wrote the script!

The female lead was also tailor-made for you.

Only I know best how it turned out!

Xiaoshuang, you have to believe that our interests are aligned!

No director outside is as trustworthy as me!

Wang Xiaoshuang was genuinely moved by what had been said.

This is the first time I've seriously considered the possibility of having Wang Xiaohao as the director.

She asked, "You can direct?"

Wang Xiaohao said, "Yes! I'm an outstanding graduate of the directing department, and I've filmed quite a few movies in the past few years!"

"I'm definitely fine with romantic comedies like this!"

Of course, Wang Xiaohao still didn't mention that he graduated from Nanchuan Art Academy.

Otherwise, anyone in the industry would immediately know that Wang Xiaohao attended a diploma mill!

Qu Qiuju listened for a long time and felt that Wang Xiaohao's words made a lot of sense, so she thought she could give Wang Xiaohao a chance.

After all, Wang Xiaohao was a child she had watched grow up since he was a child.

In fact, if Wang Xiaoshuang hadn't unexpectedly become famous and a big star, she would have genuinely thought Wang Xiaohao was a nice person!

So at this moment, Qu Qiuju spoke up, saying, "Xiaoshuang, I think Xiaohao's words make some sense."

Good film directors are hard to find!

We can only find some TV drama directors at most, but if we're going to use TV drama directors to make movies, we might as well give Xiaohao a chance to try!

If Xiao Hao is really capable, we should really let him give it a try!

Qu Qiuju's words moved Wang Xiaoshuang.

She asked, "What's the budget for your film?"

Wang Xiaohao said, "There are two budgets, one is three million, and the other is twelve million!"

Wang Xiaoshuang: ?

Wang Xiaohao explained: "If I really can't raise any money, I plan to spend three million to turn this movie into a web series. That way, three million will be enough!"

But if this were to be made into a theatrical film, it would cost at least twelve million!

Wang Xiaoshuang shook her head: "Twelve million won't do! That's too little."

The minimum investment is 30 million, and my salary will be at least 15 million!

Wang Xiaohao's expression turned strange.

He came to Wang Xiaoshuang to solicit investment. Does Wang Xiaoshuang not even want to give up her own money?

You have some self-awareness, you know?

You're just a TV personality, getting the chance to act in a movie is already a good thing! A few hundred thousand in salary is already a generous offer!

You want another fifteen million?

Has he lost his mind?

Wang Xiaohao looked troubled and said, "This investment is too big; I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise the funds!"

Wang Xiaoshuang sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about the investment! I'll go and attract investment."

You came to me because you want me to help you attract investment, right?

Having his thoughts exposed, Wang Xiaohao wasn't particularly embarrassed, but at this moment he could only rub his hands together like a fly, unable to say anything other than "heh."

Wang Xiaoshuang said, "You don't need to worry about attracting investment. Just make sure my salary isn't reduced by a single penny!"

I'll get you 30 million in investment, and 15 million of that will go to me as my film salary.

You need to sign a contract guaranteeing that the film will break even at the box office.

So, what do you say? Do you dare to sign?

If you dare to sign, you can direct this movie.

If you're not brave enough, you might as well work as an assistant director for someone else!
