Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Yang Mi quickly skimmed through the script of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

After reading it, she was very satisfied with the quality of the script, but she also had some questions:

"Mr. Tang, the production costs for this kind of fantasy drama are very high, and this series will have at least fifty or sixty episodes. The total investment is at least two hundred million. It must be very difficult to get such a large-scale production approved and started filming."

Yang Mi's insight was quite remarkable.

Indeed, based on past experience, the total investment for "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was around 300 million, with a cost of nearly 6 million per episode.

However, unlike the previous life, filming was scheduled for two years later, and the lead actors' salaries were much higher then.

At this stage, apart from Yang Mi, the others like Dilraba, Gao Weiguang, and Zhang Bingbing are still relatively unknown, which saves a lot of money.

In addition, the current production cost is much lower than it will be two years from now. Tanglou has already done a preliminary calculation and the project can be completed with 200 million.

It would be very difficult for an individual to attract such a large sum of money.

But don't forget, Tanglou now has the backing of Cool Cat.

Moreover, it was precisely when Coolcat needed to achieve results the most, and Shen Yan had just received the great gift of "Produce 101", and their relationship and trust were at their peak.

In addition, in early June, Kiwi's hit self-produced drama "The Lost Tomb" will be launched. At that time, Kiwi will occupy a large market share and open tens of millions of members with "The Lost Tomb", showing its initial glory!

Three days after the premiere of "The Lost Tomb", "The Journey of Flower" was also launched on Mango TV, becoming another phenomenal fantasy drama.

The success of these two self-produced dramas has directly threatened KuMiao's industry position and survival space.

Shen Yan will definitely be under immense pressure at that time!

The influence of these two works will also impact Shen Yan, reminding him of the potential and trend of self-produced dramas and variety shows that he mentioned during his job interview.

At the same time, recalling his own predictions about kiwifruit and Hunan TV, Shen Yan's attitude towards him was self-evident!

In the previous life, this was the watershed moment when Cool Cat began its decline, but in this life, it is only thanks to Tang Lou's "Produce 101" that it is able to keep going and barely hold on.

However, by June 23rd, "Produce 101" was about to end, and Coolcat had no strong cards left to play.

To solidify his position and ensure the platform's market leadership, Shen Yan will most likely bet heavily on his new project, "Eternal Love".

Moreover, with the success of "The Journey of Flower" as a precedent, the subsequent filming of "Eternal Love" makes the fantasy drama of the same genre quite convincing.

In addition, Tang Lou already has a next plan, which is to sign Lin Yufeng, the director who just finished filming "The Journey of Flower".

With Lin Yufeng and Jiaxing Media in hand, Tanglou has enough confidence to push forward this project!

Having grasped the implications, Tang Lou looked at Yang Mi with great confidence:

"Sister Mi, I have done enough market analysis and am very familiar with the competitors' activities."

"How about we make a bet? I'm very optimistic about the market for fantasy dramas going forward."

"In June, Mango TV will release a phenomenal fantasy drama, 'The Journey of Flower,' and with that drama, our 'Eternal Love' will be perfectly positioned to ride the wave of popularity!"

"At that time, I will invite Jiaxing to participate in the investment. Believe me, this project will bring you huge returns."

After Tang Lou presented such an astonishing plan, Yang Mi's mind began to race, constantly weighing the pros and cons.

"If Tang Lou's judgment is correct, and if Jiaxing Media can get on the good side of KuMiao Video, we'll definitely make a fortune."

"Besides the investment returns, this drama was created specifically for our studio. As long as the drama becomes a hit, the market value of our company's newcomers, like Dilraba, will inevitably rise."

"In this way, the valuation of our Jiaxing Media can also skyrocket."

And all of this started with accepting Tanglou's investment and participating in this project!

The entertainment industry is inherently a high-risk, high-reward industry.

Tanglou can now provide funding, scripts, and even plan out a future for Jiaxing Media over the next few years. Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by.

Yang Mi was a person with a very adventurous spirit.

"Mr. Tang, please allow me to make a call to my partner and discuss this."

"Dilraba, why don't you stay with President Tang?"

Yang Mi prepared to go out and make a phone call to quickly make a decision.

Inside the private room, only Tang Lou and Reba remained.

At this stage, Dilraba is still just a rookie artist, so she naturally has great respect for investors like Tanglou, who have resources and connections.

Plus, with Tang Lou's high looks, she naturally has a very good impression of him.

Yang Mi's purpose in bringing him here was very clear: to serve the investors.

To put it bluntly, as long as the company thinks it's suitable, it's perfectly normal for them to throw themselves at Tanglou, the investor, and let him take advantage of them.

The air conditioning in the private room was quite warm, so Dilraba took off her coat, revealing her tight-fitting clothes underneath and showing off her curves.

"Mr. Tang, may I take a look at this script? I'd like to see the role you've tailored specifically for me."

Dilraba was unaware of Tang Lou's character, being an investor, so she began by reading the script to test him.

Dilraba has heard that many investors like to guide actors in reading scripts.

Dilraba leaned closer to the Tanglou building, opened the script, and asked for advice.

In his previous life, Tang Lou was an employee of Zhejiang TV, so he naturally had some understanding and contact with the entertainment industry, and he also ate his fair share of meat.

However, someone of Dilraba's caliber wouldn't have been offered such a treat in my previous life.

Seeing Reba's probing, Tang Lou understood without saying a word and simply let things take their course.

There's no real emotion in the entertainment industry; it's all about exchanging interests.

"Indeed, those who can make it in the entertainment industry are all willing to go all out."

Reba took the opportunity of looking at the script to test him, and Tang Lou took the opportunity to look at the script with her. When introducing the characters and pointing out the script, some physical contact was inevitable. They looked into each other's eyes and could feel each other's breath at such close range.

Hotaru is without resistance, warm and soft, a feast for the eyes.

However, since they were only in a private room, their contact was limited to brief touches of arms and hands, and a touch of each other's hair, with their breaths mingling.

Tang Lou was not a lecherous scoundrel, but he was not a gentleman either.

The two chatted and laughed, and it must be said that Dilraba's features are quite beautiful up close; her lips, teeth, and eyelashes are all very alluring.

Now that he's in the entertainment industry, Tang Lou upholds the glorious traditions of his predecessors: no responsibility, no rejection, no initiative, no kissing, and no overnight stays.

After a brief, ambiguous moment, Yang Mi called back.

When Yang Mi entered, he noticed Reba's subtle state; her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes kept glancing at Tang Lou.

Yang Mi was used to this kind of thing; it was originally her purpose in bringing Reba along.

However, she wouldn't have asked Dilraba to take Tanglou back to her hotel to rest on their first visit.

"Mr. Tang, we agree to your terms. Let's find an opportunity to formally sign the investment agreement."

"Furthermore, regarding the project collaboration on 'Eternal Love,' we might as well wait until you formally persuade President Shen to approve the project."
