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

Chapter 57 A Larger Platform

In the film industry, a newcomer who makes a successful movie will gain both fame and fortune. They will not only be admired by those around them, but also attract the attention of film and television investors.

They'll arrange all sorts of speaking engagements for you.

Just like Ning Hao before him, one film, "Crazy Stone," made him known worldwide, and his fame and wealth skyrocketed.

Of course, there's also wariness and competition. The pie is just there; no one can watch you grow bigger. It's the same in any circle.

Qin Xuan's success has certainly attracted a lot of attention, but it's only due to the influence of the Beijing entertainment circle.

But some were stubborn; a coal mine owner came to him with cash and laid the money from his bag directly on the solid wood table.

They were in a private room. Qin Xuan looked at them and asked, "What does Boss Jia mean by this?"

"I plan to enter the film and television industry and need someone to make films for me. As long as you accept, all this money is yours," Jia Yueting said generously.

To put it bluntly, they're here to poach our talent.

"I can feel Mr. Jia's sincerity and I am very touched. However, as you know, my situation may cause you unnecessary trouble," Qin Xuan said tactfully.

Jia Yueting started his business in the coal industry, but he began to transform his business after founding LeEco.

Le Vision Pictures was established this year.

In this era, coal mine owners are very enthusiastic about film and television culture and also like female stars. It is said that this man spent 20 million to film "Metallic Attraction: Kung Fu Cyborg" for Gan Wei.

However, he did not disappoint Gan Wei, and successfully transformed into a capital company by relying on her.

Another car owner wasn't so lucky. After being introduced to a coal mine owner by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, his reputation plummeted. However, it's possible that he received the compensation he was entitled to, but we don't know for sure.

“I know your situation. We’re going through an online streaming channel, which is a completely new approach, different from the traditional models. You don’t need to worry. You just need to focus on filming, and you don’t need to worry about anything else. I can also give you shares.” Boss Jia was very generous.

However, Qin Xuan dared not accept his shares.

"I'm curious, why does Boss Jia think so highly of me?" Qin Xuan asked.

"With your background, Mr. Xuan, to be able to raise funds to shoot three movies at once, and have two of them become huge hits, I think there are very few people in the entire film and television industry who can do that. To be honest, I admire you. If you come with me, I can give you a bigger platform." Mr. Jia said confidently.

It must be that storytellers are confident, and Qin Xuan was also very confident when he told stories, otherwise how could he make others believe him?

LeEco has big ambitions, aiming to build a software and hardware application ecosystem. Film and television production is just one part of this, so they need a lot of film and television content. After all, content is the upstream, so Qin Xuan is exactly the kind of talent they need.

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Jia. However, I currently have Mr. Wang backing me, so it's really not appropriate for me to cooperate with anyone else right now. Of course, if the opportunity arises, I would still be very happy to cooperate with Mr. Jia. I cannot accept this money for the time being, please take it back."

Qin Xuan's words were quite apt.

He couldn't betray Boss Wang now, so he showed loyalty but also left room for future cooperation, without outright refusing.

"Won't you reconsider?" Boss Jia sounded somewhat disappointed.

"Of course I'll consider it, but I need to give Old Wang an explanation. If I were alone, I would definitely throw myself into Boss Jia's arms without hesitation, but I'm not," Qin Xuan said.

"I didn't expect President Xuan to be such a sentimental person. Well, I hope I can hear good news from President Xuan." Boss Jia took the money from the table and stood up.

Qin Xuan also stood up and shook hands with him.

"If you've thought it through, you can contact me anytime," Mr. Jia said, turning and leaving the room.

Qin Xuan didn't take it to heart. If he succeeded, many people would come looking for him, but he couldn't possibly live under someone else's roof.

Back home, as soon as he entered the house, he heard Cai Mei scolding her son. "Where did you go with the money you stole from home? Can't you learn something good? Learn from your cousin, put your mind on the right path, put it on your studies, and look at your grades." Cai Mei's chest heaved, she was very angry.

"The child is still young, let it go." Wu Guoqiang said weakly.

"What do you mean 'forget it'? He dares to steal money now, what will he be like when he grows up? You're just going to spoil him. You'll be happy if he ends up in jail," Cai Mei said angrily.

Wu Guoqiang was as silent as a quail.

Wu Rui sat on a chair, head down, choking back tears. His youthful face looked as if he was about to cry, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

Qin Xuan approached and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm so angry! He stole several thousand yuan from home and I don't know what he did with it. He went out to play games all night the day before the exam, and he failed many subjects in this mock exam, especially English. He did terribly. Can you believe how angry I am?" Cai Mei slammed her hand on the table, her expression softening slightly.

In the past, Cai Mei would never have given Qin Xuan a kind look if she was angry, but now she has completely changed her attitude.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Money can be earned back. I was even thinking of letting our family go out to celebrate."

"Oh right, your movie is a box office hit, you should celebrate properly. Don't go out, just eat at home. What do you like to eat? I'll go buy the groceries." Cai Mei clapped her hands, and her anger immediately dissipated.

After all, my nephew's box office success is something to be happy about.

"Anything is fine, anything is acceptable," Qin Xuan said.

"Alright, you all wait at home." Without asking anyone else, Cai Mei hurriedly left the house.

Once his aunt left, the house returned to silence. Wu Rui got up silently and went inside, then closed the door and ignored everyone.

"This child is really something." Wu Guoqiang shook his head, feeling utterly helpless.

"I'll go talk to him," Qin Xuan said.

“Go ahead! You young people should have common topics to discuss,” Wu Guoqiang said.

Qin Xuan entered the room and saw Cai Rui sitting in front of the computer, looking indifferent and expressionless.

"Did you steal the money to buy game credits, or did you spend it on girls?" Qin Xuan asked, sitting next to him.

Wu Rui remained silent, unchanged.

“I don’t object to you spending money on games; you’re buying yourself happiness. But if you’re trying to outdo others and spending it on girls, then I have to say, don’t you know what kind of family you come from?” Qin Xuan said.

"What's it to you?" Wu Rui retorted.

"Of course it's my business, I'm your brother!" Qin Xuan's voice was stern.

"It's none of your business." Wu Rui's voice softened, his lips trembling as if he were about to cry.

Even if he didn't say it, Qin Xuan already knew that he had spent that money on a phone for a girl in order to keep up with the Joneses.

He saw others giving gifts to that girl, and in order to show that he was richer and had a more sincere heart, he stole money from his family.

That's secondary; the main problem is that I spent the money but didn't even get to touch the person's hand.

He only found out about this later, when Wu Rui had grown up. He then mocked himself for being naive and stupid for being a sycophant.

"Let me tell you, money is for women to see, not for them to spend. If she truly likes you, she won't let you spend money on her. Instead, she'll encourage you to study hard and strive for success. That's what it means to want to be with you for the future," Qin Xuan told him.
