Chinese entertainment industry in disarray? Hollywood goddess welcomes strict father!

Backstage entrance.

Seeing Lu Lin throw away ten million dollars and still ask the host, Koko Bear, not to hold back, the eldest princess frowned and said to Fan Dabing, "What was the boss thinking? If he doesn't need the host to show mercy, why throw in ten million dollars? Money shouldn't be wasted like this!"

Fan Dabing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is probably not a waste of money, but rather a way to buy the exclusive title sponsorship rights at a low price while the show is about to be canceled."

"If the show becomes popular again, ten million US dollars can't buy a year's exclusive title sponsorship."

As she spoke, she quickly walked towards a backstage director and asked, "Where is your program producer?"

The director pointed outside the entrance: "Supervise the filming from the front..."

Fan Dabing said, "Call the people over here and sign the naming rights contract."

The director excitedly agreed and busied himself calling the producer on the walkie-talkie, urging him to come backstage to sign the contract.

Ok.

I won't be unemployed anymore.

This is definitely something to be excited about.

But the eldest princess, who was following behind Fan Dabing, frowned even more in doubt and said in Chinese, "Bingbing, there is absolutely no possibility for this kind of traditional television program to become popular again."

"Take this 'Koo Bear Interview Show' for example. As far as I know, the TV station loses millions every year. If it weren't for the blue-wing lawmakers preventing it from being canceled, it probably would have been canceled years ago."

Fan Dabing smiled and said, "Don't worry, apart from doing charity, I've never seen Brother Lin do any other unprofitable business..."

The eldest princess asked curiously, "Does the boss lose money doing charity? Isn't charity one of the most profitable businesses?"

Fan Dabing: "..."

Fan Dabing found her focus both amusing and exasperating: "Fake charity is certainly a way to make money and avoid taxes, and it's one of those sure-fire ways to make a profit. But Brother Lin is a genuine philanthropist, giving away billions or even tens of billions of dollars without expecting anything in return."

The eldest princess nodded with a strange expression: "If he did this much charity work in America, running for president would be a piece of cake."

Fan Dabing said quietly, "He probably has no interest in saving lives in America."

The eldest princess, of course, knew Lu Lin wasn't interested, and got back to the point, asking, "What was the boss thinking when he bought the naming rights for this show? And why are you so busy signing contracts? Can you tell me why?"

She followed Lu Lin around, working as his chief secretary, just so she could learn something.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, and regardless of whether it's a political-business revolving door, that's at least what she claims to the outside world.

Lu Lin's skillful maneuvering is something she should definitely learn from!

Fan Dabing pursed his red lips, pointed at the host on stage who was already asking Lu Lin a sharp question, and said, "He has now fired the first shot, and the war horn for Hollywood to encircle and suppress Brother Lin has been sounded."

"Later, when Lin was forced to retaliate, he was on the moral high ground. Just like when Old Martin offended him, he retaliated and made Old Martin suffer. The public might sympathize with Old Martin, but they wouldn't say that Lin did the wrong thing."

"Even if someone says Lin-ge'er is wrong, they'll be called a sanctimonious hypocrite, because 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' is something written in your Bible, and it's something ingrained in your very being..."

The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes wide as she pressed, "What's the next step in the counterattack?"

Fan Dabing shrugged and said, "Of course. They have no good words when they curse and no good skills when they fight. They've dug up Hollywood's ancestral graves."

"You may not know this, but the naked-eye 3D holographic projection used in movie theaters has actually been developed into home-use products a long time ago. Lin Ge'er has been using it at home in China for a while now. He said the cost is about the same as that of LCD TVs on the market."

"He's been holding back the release of the projector, probably waiting for this day. Once he releases the home version, the global cinema industry will be devastated in a short time, and the very foundation upon which Hollywood depends for its survival will be gone."

"Of course... Hollywood is also seeking to transform into streaming media, but that would mean fighting tooth and nail in the streaming arena. Our Qianqian Films International Edition has home projectors, giving us a natural advantage!"

The eldest princess pressed further, "How do we gain the upper hand? By forcibly embedding the international version of Qianqian Video into a home projector?"

Fan Dabing: "???"

Fan Dabing looked the eldest princess up and down, his eyes filled with disdain, as if she were an idiot.

She originally thought that this eldest princess was quite impressive, and could be considered shrewd and intelligent.

But now that we've talked, we've discovered that's not the case at all. He may have a shrewd and intelligent face, but in reality, his mind is a complete mess.

Actually...

She's just too idealistic, assuming that this princess must be well-educated, knowledgeable, and capable.

Despite his privileged background, he essentially lives off his father, a typical second-generation rich kid. His shrewdness and intelligence are written all over his face, a quality cultivated through upbringing.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're more capable!

"We don't need to integrate it. The home version of the projector can be directly integrated with the [Qianqian Video Box], just like an Apple phone running the Apple system. Others only need to integrate it if they want to use our platform, and then we take a cut..."

Fan Dabing explained helplessly.

The eldest princess's beautiful eyes lit up: "Great idea! This way, even streaming giants like Netflix will have to take a cut!"

Fan Dabing's lips curled up, and he transformed into a crooked-mouthed dragon king, laughing, "It wants us to pump water, but Brother Lin wouldn't even look at that little bit of money."

"We won't open source it, we won't let them use it, let them sue us for monopoly, we'll just do everything we can to stall for time."

"By the time the lawsuit drags on for a year or two, even if we lose and are fined, Qianqian Films International will have already gained the upper hand. Those latecomers will just have to eat our words and have their profits taken by us!"

The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, seemingly enlightened, but then asked, "What does this have to do with buying the exclusive title sponsorship of the show?"

Fan Dabing felt utterly exhausted and said helplessly, "If the Qianqian Video Box really wants to enter every household, it definitely needs to add a TV function to replace the TV set."

"It has replaced movie theaters and television sets, which will greatly change people's daily entertainment habits at home. While watching movies, people will definitely watch television as well, so traditional television media will experience a revival, and these programs will become popular again, understand?"

This time, the eldest princess completely understood and suggested, "Then we should sign the contracts quickly, and get more naming rights for TV programs to make Qianqian Films lose face. We might as well take advantage of this!"

Fan Dabing chuckled, "Who says otherwise? This is a good first move. When that producer comes, we'll ask him for as many TV program producers' phone numbers as possible, and we'll invest in as many as we can!"
