In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 26 I'm really hungry
In addition to the grand narrative, Qin Xuan also selected a filming equipment rental company called Starlight Film & Television, which is owned by a husband and wife.

They are not from the entertainment industry; they just started this company because they saw that the industry had a promising future and less competition.

There aren't many film and television equipment rental companies these days. Apart from a few state-owned enterprises, the top private company is Xianli, founded by Gu Changwei.

He's Zhang Yimou's personal cinematographer and a professor at the Beijing Film Academy; he has a wide network of connections, so he has no trouble getting business for his equipment rental company.

Don't assume that those directors only make movies and have no other business; their business empires are very extensive.

Zhang Yimou later owned eighteen companies, involved in a wide range of fields including live entertainment, digital cinema, and real estate.

Chen Daren directly controls and owns 25 companies, not counting those indirectly, with business sectors covering film and television bases, sports, fashion, and more.

Tsui Hark also owns multiple animation, technology, and film companies.

Chen Sicheng, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, and others are all like this, involved in a wide range of industries, making even celebrities pale in comparison.

Do you really think they make money from making movies and TV shows? Movies and TV shows are just their profession, the foundation of their livelihood. Even if they lose money, they lose all their other businesses.

People can also make a living by their personal skills, such as acting.

Just like Qin Xuan, he is familiar with this industry and needs to get started with it; he is not very familiar with other things.

Honestly, if there's a threshold for the wealthy class, celebrities wouldn't even be able to get through it.

Fan Xiaopang was already a top-tier celebrity, but the subsequent power struggle was just a side effect, which brought her down. A fine of several hundred million yuan was enough to cripple her.

After selecting Starlight Cinema, Qin Xuan sorted out the types of actors, meaning that an actor could act in multiple films, so there weren't actually many types to choose from.

Wang Yanhui is one such person. He was born and raised in Yunnan, performing in stage plays. Now he plays minor roles in various films and television dramas. His background alone means that he is not a member of the core circle of the film and television industry.

He had no connection with any of the Beijing, Shanghai, or Hong Kong entertainment circles. He only became successful because directors liked to cast him.

Another one is Zhang Songwen. There's not much to say about him; he can also act in multiple films and television series.

The actress's name was Tan Zhuo, but no one knows her now.

Qin Xuan put the information of these three people aside and, while sorting out the information of the remaining actors, saw an unexpected name: Zhang Yu.

The actor from the Guizhou drama, who later played the blond guy in "Dying to Survive," had a natural wildness.

"There are still many talented people in our great China." Qin Xuan patted the paper, quite surprised.

With this person joining the cast, at least the main cast of the movie "Nightclub" is not a problem, as long as they can handle that argumentative Wang Xun.

Wang Xun's scene is a famous one. You may not have seen the movie, but you must have seen how he argues.

As for the other actors, anyone who is available can make a cameo appearance.

Just as Qin Xuan was tidying up, a room door opened, and Wu Rui quickly ran to Qin Xuan's side, squatted down, and asked, "Cousin, did you write that novel?"

"What novel?" Qin Xuan asked, puzzled.

This was the first time her younger cousin had ever called her "cousin" on his own initiative, which surprised Cai Mei, who was mopping the floor. She wondered if her son had taken the wrong medicine.

Her son showed absolutely no respect for his cousin; on the contrary, he had a sense of superiority.

After all, Qin Xuan had no parents and had to rely on their family, so he naturally had a sense of superiority.

"It's the novel on my computer called 'The Hunger Games'," Wu Rui said urgently.

"Oh, that was just something I wrote casually, only a few chapters. What are you going to do with it? You didn't send it to someone else, did you?" Qin Xuan asked warily. He needed to make money from this.

"No, no, I was reading and then the plot suddenly stopped. Did you write anything? What happened to the female lead? Did she escape the arena?" Wu Rui asked a series of questions, as if he were very eager.

That's normal. Wu Rui usually reads all sorts of novels and can become quite engrossed in them. So when he found one he liked, he was naturally very eager to read it.

Qin Xuan only said, "Eat first, then I'll write to you."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat now. You have to write down the rest of the plot for me!" Wu Rui said, then quickly ran to the kitchen to start eating heartily.

Cai Mei was quite surprised to see this. She had shouted at him for a long time, threatening and scolding him, but her son just wouldn't listen.

This time, Qin Xuan mentioned her son and he went.

"What's going on?" Cai Mei asked Qin Xuan.

"They're probably really hungry," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

Wu Rui is hungry now, both physically and mentally!
Next, Qin Xuan had no choice but to put aside his work and write a few more chapters under Wu Rui's watchful eye.

The novel is about 17 words long, but Qin Xuan writes slowly. He has a plot and ideas in his mind, but that's not the same as putting them into words. It can only be said that he is not good at writing novels.

Fortunately, I was able to recreate the plot by writing slowly, and the original text wasn't that profound.

The novel was started in 2008 in the original timeline, so Qin Xuan can start writing it now without any problem, as long as it is released earlier.

On September 18, Shen Ao and his team sent the finalized crowdfunding list to Qin Xuan via email.

There were 62 crowdfunding participants in total, raising 168 million yuan. Some people contributed 10,000 yuan, while others contributed 30,000 yuan.

Qin Xuan also drafted the contract according to the budget template of 173 million. The other 50,000 belonged to Liu Xiaoli, as it was agreed beforehand that she would be given a portion of the investment.

He doesn't make the contract too complicated. The net profit is over five million. Just multiply the amount invested by 2.

就是你投了1万，就赚1万，给你2万；投了2万就赚2万，给你4万这样。

Profits of eight million are multiplied by three, and so on, every three million represents a new step up, with the excess going to the new forces for development.

In addition, the film and television rights also belong to New Force!

If the profit is less than five million, it will be distributed according to the investment ratio; if there is no profit or a loss, only the principal will be returned until it is fully repaid.

Because movies have copyrights, which aren't very valuable now, but they will be in the future.

So even if he fails, he can still pay off their debts; it's just a matter of time, thus protecting the investors' interests.

Of course, a disclaimer was also attached, stating that the transaction was conducted on a voluntary, equal, and mutually agreed basis.

To avoid any legal disputes or embarrassment later on.

After the contract was sent to Shen Ao and his team, it was distributed to various crowdfunding participants. Those who signed it would have their money transferred to the designated account of New Power, while those who did not sign it would have their share given to others for crowdfunding.

Judging from this situation, some people who think they are scammers and are still observing are actually regretting not investing.

After all, if they don't want the money, they won't take it even if you offer it to them.
