Reborn since 2005

Before I knew it, more than half of 2011 was over.

In August, the sequel of the hit drama starring Yang Mi, which Starlight Film and Television Company invested in, started filming. Due to the popularity of the first part, the second part was sold at a very high price before filming even started. One round of broadcast rights and some soft advertising were also sold.

Even before filming started, the money had already been repaid.

In the second part, the artists signed by Starlight Film and Television also have more opportunities to participate in the show. Although they are not important roles, they have a lot more scenes than the first part.

Especially Mo Yingying, her role has been increased a lot.

The salary has also increased a lot - but the increase in salary is because her role is heavier, not because she has gained a celebrity position.

This coffee position does not exist.

In addition, the crew also created a new role for Zeng Yan's niece Zeng Xiyue, who also played a few episodes.

It doesn't matter whether she has acting skills or not, as long as she's almost passable.

With the status of Zeng Yan's niece, as long as it's not too bad, there's no need to worry about not having any scenes to film.

The TV series was filmed in another location, so Zeng Xiyue went out of town for a period of time until she finished filming her scenes.

The production speed of this crew is quite fast and it doesn’t take too long.

During this period, some TV series that Starlight Film and Television participated in with a small investment ratio were also launched one after another, and some funds were received one after another.

The company has more cash on its books, which also allows them to invest in more projects.

The investment in the TV projects we participated in was not very large, ranging from several million to less than one million.

The kind of multi-million investments were all projects that Yan Xin had a certain impression of in his previous life, so they all made money.

Smaller investments can lead to gains and losses, and sometimes it’s just a matter of favor.

Some of them were filmed, but they didn’t even have a chance to be played, so they had to be left in the warehouse to gather dust.

If something like this happens, there's nothing you can do about it.

I can only say that fortunately the investment is not big, so it doesn’t matter if you lose a little.

Overall, it was still profitable. The little money Yan Xin didn't like very much, but it made Zeng Yan much more famous in her circle.

Part of its fame comes from the projects it has invested in, with a relatively large proportion of blockbusters.

This also makes more projects willing to find this company to cooperate.

Sometimes it is not a matter of funds, people are not short of money.

I just want to get a little lucky, and I hope that the luck of Starlight Film and Television, which I vote for and make money from, will be my turn.

This kind of development was something Zeng Yan herself had not expected.

By November, they will have a relatively important movie released, which will also be the first movie they invest in.

It was a love movie that started with a lost love and ended with getting another love.

The production cost of this movie is not large, only about 10 million in total.

Their company invested five million, accounting for half of the investment, and is the largest investor in this project.

For this reason, several characters were also arranged in it, including Mo Yingying, who played the role of a bride.

In early September, before it was released, Yan Xin first saw the cut trailer. After watching it, it was quite consistent with what he remembered.

Artists from his own company only played small roles, which did not affect the quality of the film, which made him very happy.

He didn't invest much in movies before, mainly because he felt that domestic movies were still a bit unpopular at this time, and the probability of losing money was greater.

The head director's film project, as a newly established small company, cannot participate in it. If he can participate, the probability of losing money is too high, so he simply doesn't invest.

But he had quite an impression of this project in his previous life. He knew that this love-themed chick flick was a box-office hit in the end. After investing tens of millions of dollars, it got more than 3 million in box office. It was a hugely profitable project.

With an investment of 500 million, the profit can be tens of millions.

That’s why I invested in it.

He did not interfere with the creation of the film team. What he asked for was to be able to replicate the achievements he remembered in his previous life.

Now that I have seen the cut trailer, I am very satisfied.

At that time, I told Zeng Yan: "This movie should be a hit."

Zeng Yan visited the class several times and felt that the film scores would not be too bad.

She smiled and asked Yan Xin:
"Boss, how high do you think the box office will be? Can it exceed 50 million?"

With an investment of 10 million, plus some publicity expenses, basically 40 million at the box office will be able to pay back the investment, and 50 million can make a small profit.

Her expectation is a box office of 50 million.

But I wasn’t very confident.

After all, domestic films are not yet on the rise. Except for one or two big directors, other films are not doing well at the box office.

Fifty million is already considered relatively high.

Yan Xin smiled: "Fifty million? That's a little too little. You can be bolder and count upwards of 100 million."

"The box office exceeds 100 million?" Zeng Yan was surprised, "Isn't this unlikely?"

If the box office can exceed 500 million, then their return on investment will be too great. With an investment of million, they can probably earn tens of millions in profit.

She didn't quite believe that a small-budget love movie with no big director or big stars could gross over 100 million yuan.

"I think it's possible," Yan Xin said. "I've read the book and I think it's a very good story. It's not a problem at all to have a box office of over 100 million."

Zeng Yan blinked her eyes and did not argue with him. She still felt a little unconvinced in her heart.

She believes in Yan Xin's ability to make money.

Such a young billionaire is still a self-made man, which has fully proved his ability.

But, this is the entertainment industry.

She has been in this industry for more than ten years, and she believes in her own judgment.

I feel that the boss is still a little immature in this regard. He does not believe in the vision of a senior practitioner, but believes in his own vision.

The thing about this project is that because I like the book, I think the movie can achieve a high box office.

The same is true for another film project. Because I like an actor who plays a TV series, investing in a film directed by that person is a bit too temperamental.

But there’s not much to say.

She only hopes that when the reality is not so beautiful, her boss will not be angry with her.

She finally got the opportunity to meet Yan Xin, but at this time her niece went to film a TV series elsewhere, and she was unable to arrange a meeting for them, which made her feel very regretful.

But overall, she was quite proud during this period of time, and she felt quite high-spirited.

Inexplicably, he became known as a golden finger investor, attracting many investment projects, including some big productions that he had never dared to think of before.

Give her more choices.

His status in the circle has improved a bit. Some of the projects invested in last year are now starting to show results, bringing considerable profits to the company. The boss is also very satisfied and has given great recognition to her investment vision.

If you want to invest in a big production in the future, you will have a greater chance of getting support from your boss.

The chances of realizing your dream are greater.

——She still has a lot of love for this industry, and it’s not just for money.

She hopes that one day, she can lead the production of works that can leave a name in the history of the industry.

For example, the CCTV version of the Four Great Classics.

That was her biggest dream, and it almost became an obsession.

This requires a lot of funds to support.

She doesn't think her film and television company can make enough money to lead the investment in such a large production.

However, she felt that her boss had that kind of ability. As long as she got his support, she could easily spend enough capital to realize her dream - as long as he believed that her dream could bring him profits and reputation.

Whether the projects you invest in can make money is actually secondary. The most important thing is to please the boss and gain his trust.

Unfortunately, I am already old and not very attractive to young people like my boss.

Otherwise, she doesn't mind being unspoken.

This time they met at the headquarters of Jinxi E-commerce Company, in the office of CEO Feng Xi, except that Feng Xi was raising her baby at home, and Yan Xin came to work for her.

It was early September, the summer heat had not receded yet, and the weather was still very hot.

The air conditioner is turned on in the office, which makes it cooler.

However, Zeng Yan didn't wear much. She wore a very cool dress with a relatively wide open collar. When she lowered her head and bent over, she could see some scenes that were not allowed to appear on TV.

However, Yan Xin didn't even look inside - she hadn't seen it once anyway.

This made her quite depressed, thinking: "Am I really very old? Am I no longer attractive to young men? I can't even attract a man whose wife is still pregnant. Am I really that bad?" ?"

This is a very sad story.

But this is the reality she faces now.

In fact, she is not that old. She is less than forty. She is better at taking care of herself and knows how to dress better than most women of the same age. Her appearance is also quite outstanding. She looks like a beautiful young woman in her early thirties.

A woman like this can easily date a lot of men.

In front of others, her appearance can receive a lot of praise, and they say that she is getting more and more beautiful and younger.

But being ignored in front of Yan Xin made her fall into self-doubt, and she felt that the praise given to her by others, whether male or female, was something they wanted from her and was not their true thoughts.

The real situation is that she is already an old woman with no beauty at all.

This mentality made her feel inferior, and she quickly put away the thoughts of tempting her boss deep in her heart, and began to talk about things seriously, without bending over again.

This also made Yan Xin secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, in his heart, Zeng Yan is still quite pretty.

Especially now that Feng Xi is pregnant, he doesn't dare to touch her. Xiao Shiyu only comes to the capital on weekends and works elsewhere at other times.

In this situation, when I saw Zeng Yan, I felt that she was even more beautiful.

He also knew that with Zeng Yan's condition, as long as he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted by closing the office door.

But he still took control.

It's not that I'm afraid of the bad consequences of having a relationship with Zeng Yan. She's not a celebrity, she has her own career, and she's a decent person in the industry, so she's unlikely to do anything disgraceful.

There are other issues to consider.

On the one hand, she didn't want to cause such a thing to happen during Feng Xi's pregnancy, for fear of causing her depression.

On the other hand, I still feel that it is too shameful for me to have an affair with an aunt who is almost forty years old when I am only twenty-three or four years old.

——In his impression, only a pretty boy who just eats soft rice would do that kind of thing.

He was afraid of being laughed at by others - at least if Feng Xi knew about it, he would definitely laugh at him.

There is no way to lose this person.

Then you can only control yourself.

A little difficult, but not too difficult.

After he became a billionaire, he was often tempted by this kind of temptation, and he was able to control it to the point where others could not see any signs of it.

This time Zeng Yan also showed Yan Xin a dozen investment projects that she had selected.

Now there are many projects approaching her for investment, hundreds of them every month, but most of them have been rejected by her.

Many of them are newcomers with no achievements. They come to invest with a script they have written. Some boast that they can win awards, and some boast that they can have high box office and good ratings.

Some don't even have a script, just an idea, and they dare to ask for investment.

Those of course can only refuse.

Some of them have done some projects and have prepared sufficient materials.

Only in this way would Zeng Yan take a serious look.

Even if the results of past projects were very unsatisfactory, after all, they are in this industry. If the previous projects were compensated, it does not necessarily mean that the current projects will be compensated.

After all, people will grow.

There are some that she thinks she will lose money on, and she will decline them politely.

Some people who cannot be pushed forward will make a small investment to show their support, but they will not invest too much money.

The dozen or so materials she has brought over now are all projects that she thinks have a greater chance of making money.

Several of the projects also promised her that as long as the investment reaches a certain share, important roles can be arranged.

Because Yan Xin told her that his consent was required to participate in projects with an investment of more than one million yuan.

These are projects like that.

Yan Xin looked at them one by one. It seemed that he was looking at the materials of these projects seriously. In fact, he was searching his own memories to see if there were any of these film and television works in his memory.

He actually found six or seven projects.

It left an impression on his memory.

However, there are some projects that are famous for losing money.

After eliminating such projects, there are still four projects left, all of which are TV series.

He took the four selected materials and said to Zeng Yan:
"These projects can be invested, and we can give them as much investment share as they require. For other projects, I think we should be cautious and it is best not to invest. Even if we want to invest, it cannot exceed one million. "

Zeng Yan took out a piece of material from it:

"The initiator of this project told me that as long as we can invest more than 20 million, we can arrange for our company's artists to play the second male lead or the third female lead." (End of Chapter)
