I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Afterwards, Cheng Sheng chatted with the foreman for more than half an hour. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he didn't disturb the workers and said goodbye to the foreman directly.

After leaving Jinxiu Garden, Cheng Sheng went to another place.

Last time, he not only sold Jinxiu Garden, but also bought two commercial apartments.

Hoarding houses.

This has always been Cheng Sheng's idea.

Buy up properties while prices are low, and when Kyoto prices skyrocket a decade or so later, you can easily become a billionaire just by selling one property.

After buying the two apartments, Cheng Sheng had them rented out by a real estate agent.

Within a few days, both apartments were rented out.

Cheng Sheng didn't go inside. Instead, he looked around outside his house and, finding nothing wrong, left without disturbing the tenant.

I ate lunch outside.

Cheng Sheng then received a message from Zeng Li.

She has already gotten off the plane.

Cheng Sheng also sent a text message in reply.

Then I drove to the company.

"boss."

"Jiang Jiang, why are you back? Weren't you practicing your acting skills?"

To Cheng Sheng's surprise, Jiangsu Ying, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, actually showed up when he arrived at the company.

“Sister Aina said this morning that the company had a meeting, and as your assistant, of course I had to come back,” Jiangsu Ying said.

"Okay, then call everyone to the conference room."

"Okay, boss."

Cheng Sheng didn't wait long in the conference room before people started arriving one after another.

"Hi boss."

"Hi boss."

"..."

Everyone who came in greeted Cheng Sheng respectfully, and then found a seat to sit down.

After everyone arrived, Cheng Sheng began by saying, "Today is the last meeting before the new year. The main purpose is to summarize the company's performance this year... and then discuss the company's development next year."

"Sister Aina, tell us about the company this year..."

Upon hearing Cheng Sheng call her name, Xing Aina stood up, then took the documents and began to report on some of the company's affairs this year.

"The company's profit this year is 3.5 billion. After deducting all expenses, the company still has about 1 billion in cash."

Earning 3.5 billion in a year—if the outside world knew this, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

It's important to know that most film and television companies in the entertainment industry today don't even earn ten million a year.

Cheng Sheng's annual profit is a staggering 35 billion yuan, which is hard to believe.

However, the main reason why Cheng Sheng's company can make so much profit in a year is that Cheng Sheng's movies are so profitable.

"Ten Red Army Soldiers" grossed 15 billion yuan at the box office in China. Although this money had to be shared among investors and cinemas, it still generated about 400 million yuan in revenue.

This is still the domestic revenue. Although the box office of "Ten Red Army Soldiers" is not as good as that in China, it is still not low!

"Ten Red Army Soldiers" achieved a box office of 8 million in Southeast Asia due to geographical proximity.

"Ten Red Army Soldiers" did not perform very well at the box office in Europe and America due to regional and cultural factors, but it still grossed around 5 million.

The film grossed around $28 billion worldwide. While $28 billion sounds like a lot, the overseas box office was mostly from buyouts.

Even if the box office is high, it all goes to the film company.

Xing Aina analyzed the film and television works that made the company money one by one.

While movies make up the majority of the revenue, TV series also earn a considerable amount.

After listening to Xing Aina's report, Cheng Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

With a cash flow of one billion, it's more than enough for next year's investment.

"Now that the company is making money, it's time to provide cars for your departments. Please give your opinions. I don't know much about cars, so tell me how many cars we need and what kind of cars we should buy."

Cheng Sheng is not a stingy person; it is only right that he should give some benefits to his employees when he makes money.

The people in the conference room became excited upon hearing this.

Everyone shared their opinions, especially the men, who were the most enthusiastic about cars, and they started discussing it animatedly.

In addition to providing vehicles for the company's senior executives, the company's artists also need them.

The vehicles provided to celebrities are usually minivans.

Ultimately, Cheng Sheng asked Xing Aina to buy seven commercial vehicles and five nanny vans.

After discussing the vehicle issue, the others also shared some information about the company's events this year.

By the time these people finished speaking, almost two hours had passed.

Cheng Sheng pressed his hand to quiet everyone down and then began to talk about the last topic of the day.

That is the company's film and television projects and investments for next year.

The first one is "Nirvana in Fire".

The script for "Nirvana in Fire" has been approved. Kong Sheng, who was invited by Cheng Sheng to direct the TV series, is also assembling the production team. As for the main actors, the male and female leads have been confirmed: Hu Ge will play the male lead, and Jiangsu Film Studio will play the female lead.

As for other supporting roles, the company plans to hold open auditions after the Lunar New Year.

Of course, Cheng Sheng has already cast one female supporting role, and that is Li Xiaoran as Qin Banruo.

Qin Banruo is an important character in "Nirvana in Fire". She is the daughter of the last regent of the Hua Kingdom. After the Hua Kingdom was destroyed by the Liang Dynasty, her family fell into decline. She infiltrated Jinling as the chief strategist of the Yu Prince's Mansion. She built an intelligence network by running the brothel Hongxiuzhao, helped the Yu Prince fight against the Crown Prince's forces, and secretly planned to restore the Hua clan.

In another world, Wang Ou portrays a brilliant, beautiful, and aloof strategist, engaging in a series of exciting battles with Mei Changsu, played by Hu Ge.

Qin Banruo doesn't have many scenes in the TV series "Nirvana in Fire," but as Prince Yu's chief strategist, she can be considered the main antagonist in the series.

Furthermore, Qin Banruo is played by the famous actress Wang Ou, whose stunning beauty gives her the charm of the number one beauty in "Nirvana in Fire".

When people mention Qin Banruo, they often use the phrase "femme fatale" to describe her. After all, she was full of cunning and resourcefulness, devising strategies for Prince Yu to seize the throne, and she also had a dark history of framing loyal officials.

But in essence, Qin Banruo is not a bad person; they just have different perspectives.

In a sense, the feud between the Hua tribe and Daliang runs very deep, filled with too much blood and hatred, and is simply impossible to resolve.

Because their kingdom was destroyed, the Hua people had only two wishes: first, revenge, and second, to restore their kingdom.

Against this backdrop, Princess Xuanji of the Hua tribe, who was in the Yeyouting, colluded with Xia Jiang to plot the rebellion of the Chiyan Army.

They successfully annihilated the entire Chiyan Army, which then led to the death of Prince Qi, a pillar of the state, by poisoning.

Under Princess Xuanji's guidance, the Hua tribe's first wish was fulfilled, a fulfillment of their personal and national grievances.

So who was the second wish left to? Of course, it was the descendants of the Hua tribe, that is, a large group of Princess Xuanji's disciples, and Qin Banruo was Princess Xuanji's favorite disciple.

Therefore, Qin Banruo shouldered the heavy responsibility of restoring the Hua tribe and began to work tirelessly.

She founded the Red Sleeve Pavilion, a front for entertainment but in reality an intelligence agency, and joined forces with other Hua tribe sisters to assist Prince Yu. (End of Chapter)
