Chapter 403: Making a fortune!
Lai Haijin ‘s worry settled down when he saw the script.
As a top agent, his eyes weren’t only good at discerning talents but also script.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be bad if they put their actors in a bad movie?
Actors always needed to have a good catalogue of roles to get influence and it wasn’t just about making money.
For example this time with Bu Yiyi and the 10 million Yuan, why did Bu Yiyi not want it and Lai Haijin agreed with it?
Because if Bu Yiyi was overshadowed by Gu Yingjing this time, she would be known as someone that could be brought by money to play a supporting role. How big of a blow would that be for a Small Flower Dan that aspired to become a Heavenly Queen?
Taking the 10 million now was equivalent to giving up 1 billion in the future, would that be worth it?
‘Princess Returning Pearl’ was more daring and light than ‘Love Through Different Times’.
The plot didn’t involve multiple countries or fight for the throne etc…, which allowed to target a larger audience.
If Bu Yiyi starred as Xiao Yangzi in this TV series, she would definitely overwhelm Xiao Wanzi from ‘Love Through Different Time’.
Even though their names were somewhat similar, it could be seen from that Teacher Chu was really furious this time and wanted to teach Calf TV a lesson.
Lai Haijin thought about it and then sincerely said, “Teacher Lu, does Teacher Lu have any order for this script?”
“No.” Chen Huan said, “But you have to find a reliable company this time, it must never go wrong again.”
“Do not worry, I’ll definitely thoroughly check it and get rid of any hidden dangers before working together.” Lai Haijin assured.
He also experienced the loss this time as he thought that with a big company like Calf TV and with their contribution on top of it, there wouldn’t be any problem so he didn’t put any clause on the contract.
That was why the humiliating incident of the role of Xiao Wanzi being snatched away and his capability to get things done would be put in question if this spread out.
Now, Lai Haijin would never be negligent again and would definitely eliminate any potential problem before doing anything.
Actually, Chen Huan was guilty of negligence.
In the agreement he signed for ‘Love Through Different Times’ with Calf TV, there was no clause for actors at all except the fact they couldn’t remove any roles and change the plot.
He thought that the role of Xiao Wanzi was already but didn’t expect to be played by Calf TV.
However, it didn’t go against the contract even if they did this.
So how could he not be angry?
It was normal for the Good Lord to get angry but even a nice guy like Chen Huan couldn’t swallow that!
Lai Haijin thought about the problem before coming here and now that Chen Huan mentioned it, he made a suggestion, “There are many Film and TV series companies but not many are reliable and capable, Teacher Lu and Teacher Chu are all familiar with Shanhai Streaming, maybe we should let them produce this TV series?”
Chen Huan couldn’t help but nod at that.
This was also what he thought.
Even Calf TV was unreliable, who else could he trust except the princess?
Shanhai Streaming wouldn’t oppose Chu Liuxiang.
As long as they heard it was from Chu Liuxiang, they would get it without caring what the price or condition demanded.
Bu Yiyi was still entranced by the script but lifted her head when she heard the two talk and said, “Why should we have another company make it? Can’t we produce it ourselves? Isn’t it great to make a fortune together?”
“Huh?!”
The two men were shocked.
What do you mean?!
“How can we do it when we don’t have a production company?” Lai Haijin instantly retorted, “Moreover, how are you going to sell it to the TV station after you’re done filming?”
“Production is so easy!” Bu Yiyi said, “Find a reliable director and have him get his own team, then we get a senior producer to lead the rest, isn’t this done?… Chen Huan stop staring at me like that, isn’t this what ‘Love Letter’ did? Director Zhu only did it with a dozen or so people!”
Chen Huan just spread his hands and asked, “Do you know any TV stations?”
“I’m unfamiliar with them but we have the capital! Chu Liuxiang’s script, Bu Yiyi as the lead, Lu Xiaofeng for the theme songs… Any TV station will take this series seriously!”
After a little pause, she continued, “Why do we have to sell it to TV stations? If Shanhai Streaming can pay more or even Youyi, we can sell it to them! we can first sell the streaming right and after it gets popular, won’t we be able to sell it at a high price to those TV stations?”
Chen Huan thought Bu Yiyi was just talking gibberish at the beginning but now he couldn’t help but give her two thumbs up.
Very impressive Yiyi!
This idea of her was very close to the new model of TV series production back in his previous world.
For example, ‘The Thunder’ made in 2019 was first released on the internet platform and after it got popular, it was picked up by some TV stations and still achieved good ratings.
And with the trend in his previous world, the streaming platform would definitely become the premiere platform for more and more great TV series instead of the TV stations.
Lai Haijin didn’t know about this but he was in complete admiration of Bu Yiyi’s whimsical thoughts.
She may be oblivious but it was just this month when Teacher Lu viciously slapped the face of Shining Technology but not only he didn’t apologize, he got compensated 100 million!
However, you dared to sell to such a sworn enemy, wasn’t she afraid of getting her angry?
Of course, he wouldn’t get angry.
Because he liked you!
Lai Haijin knew that point.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Teacher Lu liked Bu Yiyi, why would he ask Teacher Chu to produce a script for her and even have another one so quickly?
If nothing else, this favor alone was worth tens of millions.
Unless it was Zhu Mei, no one could compared to him in closeness to Teacher Chu Liuxiang.
What Lai Haijin liked the most in what Bu Yiyi said was ‘Isn’t it great to make a fortune together?’
He was someone greedy to begin with but never thought that ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ could be done like this.
But now he was aware, he was moved but also worried about the huge risk.
So he turned toward Chen Huan and asked, “Teacher Lu, I think Bu Yiyi is just a bit clueless but what do you think?”
He definitely wouldn’t advance the discussion as Chen Huan wouldn’t care if Bu Yiyi spoke out of line since he liked her.
But if it was Lai Haijin who did so, why would he get the same courtesy?
Chen Huan thought never went that way.
He was seriously considering what Bu Yiyi said.
However, he preferred Shanhai Streaming to take the big cake while he took the small one.
Because he was short on money now.
Because of the situation with Bu Yiyi, he had to donate 100 million and it was most of the money he had on hands.
He had only around 60 million remaining.
This money was a lot under normal circumstances but the Zhang’s Family would sell shares of Yongxing Supermarkets and everyone had to invest together.
Chen Huan was the one who called everyone to invest but he himself didn’t invest much, what would the people think of that?
If he went to Shanhai Streaming, the princess definitely would give a lot of money but would it be more than producing it himself?
Moreover, nobody would complain about the money people earned by their own production.
Unlike going through Shanhai Streaming where Chen Huan heard from Cui Zhong that many people were dissatisfied with the princess kindness toward Teacher Lu and Teacher Chu, and they felt that giving so much to them wasn’t worth it.
With that factor included, Chen Huan must prove it to them that he wasn’t rich because they gave him money, he was rich because he was just that good!
Chen Huan made a decision after that.
“Ding Dong!”
The usual sound came again.
The Good Lord had been appearing quite frequently in the recent time.
“The weak is finally thinking for himself and ready to take his own fate into his hands!”
“How can working for others be better than being your own boss? Bu Yiyi is smart and the host should learn more from her.”
“The system is very optimistic about ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ so the expectation is inevitably higher.”
“If the overall revenue generated by ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ exceeds 500 million, the average rating was 30% or more, or the highest number of simultaneous online viewers exceeds 100 million, the system will give out great rewards! Try your best young man!”
Motherfucker!
Chen Huan felt numb.
Good Lord, couldn’t you be a nice system?
You’re in this world with me, don’t you know how high those requirements are!?
A TV series that can earn 500 million, are you mad!?
A TV series that could average 20% in this time, you even expect it unless you’re crazy!
The highest number of simultaneous online viewers exceeding 100 million is even more exaggerated! Do you even know what the highest number of simultaneous online viewers is!?
It seemed at the first glance that it would give him a lot of great rewards for a single TV series.
But all those were trap pits!
Go to any company in the world with those conditions, no companies would dare to put their bet on that.
Because it was a guarantee loss!
Chen Huan undoubtedly lost confidence in accomplishing this mission.
Whatever.
He would just try his best to shoot a good TV series.
He was going to get the rewards when the rating came out and crushed Calf TV.
This plan seemed more realistic.
A man shouldn’t aim too high or they would forget they were mere mortals!
