Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 31 Photos
"As for the investment department, have there been any new film and television projects for investment recently? Report to other departments as well. I will make all decisions on company affairs in this meeting."

As the producer of "So Young", Wang Jing is about to leave the company to join the film crew, and she must take care of all the company matters before leaving.

The investment director is a man named Wang Shiping.

Upon hearing the general manager's question, he quickly reported: "There's a project by director Shang Jin, who directed 'The Story of the Cooking Squad,' called 'My Own Swordsman,' with an investment budget of 1700 million. It's an ancient costume sitcom."

My investigation revealed that before contacting us, Shang Jin had already reached out to over a dozen film and television companies or investors, all of whom rejected him. The industry generally doesn't have a high opinion of this type of television drama.

"Send me the detailed information after the meeting. Mr. Wang, please delay Director Shang for a few days and reply to him in October."

The company's projects exceeding 1000 million yuan require approval from Song Dynasty poetry, and the boss seems to have a penchant for all sorts of niche themes, so Wang Jing didn't want to rashly ask Wang Shiping to refuse.

But even if we want to invest, we have to wait until the boss's third-quarter royalties arrive in October, otherwise there won't be any money to invest in projects.

Wang Jing rubbed her temples. Being the head of Tengda Culture was really not easy. Even if 1700 million was a good project that could make money, she didn't have enough money in the company's account to invest it.

Thinking it over, although Song Ci invested another 3000 million yuan in Tengda Culture during the summer vacation, 1300 million yuan was spent on investing in the filming of "So Young" and "Bright Sword".

Blueprint Copyright Company spent another 500 million yuan on acquiring film and music online copyrights. In addition, it needs to reserve another 500 million yuan in the company for daily administrative expenses and salary payments, leaving only 700 million yuan in actual available funds.

Fortunately, after Tiangong Special Effects took over the game special effects business from Tengda Technology, with the help of its sister company, it finally broke even and no longer needed to spend money.

After arranging the affairs of each department, Wang Jing announced the end of the meeting and prepared to head to the film set to ensure the smooth progress of Tengda Culture's first self-produced drama.

When Li Feng, the director of the publicity and distribution department, returned to his office, he saw Jiang Yuanyuan campaigning for Liu Shishi in the QQ group again. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give her a few words of advice in the group.

Shanfeng: Liu Shishi used to work in our department, so she's practically one of us. After we voted for her, everyone needs to work hard. We can't let up on our promotion and traffic generation efforts on Toutiao.

Upon seeing the leader's message in the group chat, everyone replied that they had received it.

Li Feng eventually rose to the position of director. After Jiang Tiantian was promoted to assistant director, Liu Rong took charge of publicity and marketing. She valued Li Feng's ability in on-the-ground promotion and recommended him to Wang Jing.

After much consideration, Wang Jing finally agreed to appoint Li Feng as the director of the publicity and distribution department.

However, Lao Li's personality remained the same; he was a hard-working person, and none of the department's employees were afraid of him.

Jiang Yuanyuan is now Liu Shishi's number one fan, and she actively promotes Liu Shishi in various groups every day.

After urging everyone in the employee group to vote for Liu Shishi, he went to Zhiyi Bar to post links to drive traffic to Toutiao while also campaigning for votes for Liu Shishi.

#Hey everyone, please vote for Liu Shishi from Beijing Dance Academy! She's also the moderator of our Zhiyi Bar, so please support her!#
#Really?#
#Is the moderator "Little Lion" the most beautiful girl at Beijing Dance Academy?#
#Whether it is or not, I voted anyway, I like this one, the girl is really beautiful#
Some netizens questioned the decision, while others believed it, and the comments were filled with conflicting opinions. Jiang Yuanyuan was largely responsible for Liu Shishi's entry into the top ten of the campus beauty list. That morning, Song Ci had taken Liu Shishi on a tour of the entire Peking University campus, and the two were currently resting on a stone bench by the roadside.

September in Beiping was still very hot and humid. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Shishi's fair skin. She was tired, hot and hungry after wandering around Peking University for half a day.

So Miss Liu said to someone in a charmingly innocent way, "I'm hungry, yiyi."

"Let's go eat, and I'll show you the food at Peking University's cafeteria."

Song Ci stood up, about to get up, but saw Liu Shishi sitting still and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you sitting still?"

Liu Shishi gave a pitiful look, staring at Song Ci with pitiful eyes, "I can't walk anymore, Yi Yi, can you carry me?"

Song Ci hesitated. He used to carry Miss Liu on his back in the neighborhood when he was a child, but now that Liu Shishi was a grown woman, it would definitely be inappropriate to carry her on his back again.

Moreover, this is a university campus. If someone sees him carrying a girl on his back, it will definitely become a hot topic on campus. If it gets posted on the campus forum by his classmates, it will be too embarrassing.

Unable to bear ignoring Miss Liu's plea, Song Ci refused, saying, "Shishi, it's not very convenient here. Why don't you rest for a while?"

"Alright." Although Liu Shishi was slightly disappointed, she did not insist. If Song Ci were really willing to carry her to the cafeteria, it would be romantic but also too embarrassing. Since Song Ci was unwilling, it would save her from being in a dilemma.

Song Ci was just worried about being posted on the campus forum, but little did he know that the classmate who secretly took photos of him and Liu Shishi by Weiming Lake had already posted the photos on the school website, sparking heated discussions.

After returning to his dormitory, the student immediately posted on the school's website:

Beneath the Boya Pagoda, by the Weiming Lake, a perfect match made in heaven.
I also attached a few pictures of Song Dynasty poems and Liu Shishi standing quietly by Weiming Lake, creating a beautiful scene. As soon as the post was published, it was quickly pinned to the top by many students' comments.

#This is so romantic and beautiful#
#I know this guy, he's Song Ci from the Finance class of 04 in the School of Management, he's the most handsome guy at Peking University, but I don't know the girl.#
#The girl is Liu Shishi, the most beautiful girl from Beijing Dance Academy. She's ninth on the Toutiao website's list of most beautiful girls, and I even voted for her.#
#Holy crap, this girl's outfit is exactly the same as the one in the photos on Toutiao#
#What is the relationship between the most handsome guy at Peking University and the most beautiful girl at Beijing Dance Academy?#
#Upstairs, are you stupid? They're definitely a couple.#
#Aren't friends okay?#
#The two are so intimate, the girl is holding the boy's arm, her eyes are full of affection, and the boy's doting expression towards the girl, you're telling me they're just ordinary friends?#
#The last photo, the one where they're looking at each other, is so sweet, I'm totally smitten!#
#Both of them are so good-looking, they really make a perfect match#
#The upperclassmen and underclassmen aren't doing their job! Our school's heartthrob got snatched up by a girl from another school!#
#The most handsome man in Peking University in a century truly lives up to his reputation#
#Yes, Song Ci could be called the most handsome campus heartthrob in Peking University's history, but it's surprising that the spotlight went to an outsider.#
Song Ci's roommate, Lin Hao, was browsing the campus forum at the time and happened to see this post.

"Gang, Xiao Chuan, come quick, it's Lao Si! He's on the school's online forum!" Lin Hao exclaimed.

"What's wrong with the fourth brother?" Lu Yugang and Tang Xiaochuan thought something had happened to Song Ci and quickly looked at the screen.

Lin Hao said enviously, "He actually took a girl for a walk around campus."

Tang Xiaochuan looked down at the photo carefully and immediately recognized the girl next to Song Ci as Liu Shishi, the beauty of Beijing Dance Academy whom he voted for every day.

"Isn't this the fourth sister's goddess? So this girl is his girlfriend."
