Huayu: I was immediately ensnared by Jing Tian as soon as I entered the industry.

The National Day holiday is over, and the first class is film history, which shows all the old films.

The themes range from niche art films to sensitive ones, encompassing both domestic and international films, all of which he had never encountered in his previous life.

In this day and age, performing arts students are still full of ideals and have an artistic dream, taking pride in making art films.

Internationally renowned actresses like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are idols for many students.

But not everyone can be chosen by Zhang Yimou during their student days and become an overnight sensation.

Most students can only rely on themselves, and after graduation they have to send out resumes and go to auditions everywhere.

Wang Xuan wasn't in such a rush; he waited for news from JD.com before implementing the next step of his plan.

He knew very well in his past life that without a background, connections, or anyone to support him, it would be extremely difficult to become famous.

Even though Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying came from humble backgrounds, they still needed the backing of large companies and constant resource support to maintain their status as top-tier actors.

Wang Xuan is very clear-headed. It's difficult for any actor to guarantee their continued success; they need to become a source of capital or hold the initiative...

"Pay attention and don't let your mind wander."

The teacher tapped the blackboard to remind him, and Wang Xuan immediately sat up straight, pulling his wandering thoughts back to reality.

The teacher continued lecturing, but the conversation drifted to this year's three major European film festivals.

The performance of Chinese films at the three major European film festivals this year can be described as extremely impressive.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Quan'an won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for his film "The Wedding of Yatu".

Jia Zhangke received the 60th Anniversary Special Contribution Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the Venice Film Festival, which just concluded last month, Li An won the Golden Lion for Best Director for the second time for "Lust, Caution".

The first two are renowned domestic art-house film directors who enjoy winning awards at various film festivals. As for internationally acclaimed director Li An, he excels in both commercial and art-house films.

The students were all very excited and dreamed of acting in one of these three movies.

But Wang Xuan knew very well that this was basically impossible, because big directors all have fixed circles.

Take Jia Zhangke for example, he films mostly nonsensical and ridiculous things, and the leading actresses are basically all his wives.

Wang Anquan's work is relatively better; "The Wedding of Yatu," "White Deer Plain," and "Reunion" are all works with considerable depth.

Needless to say, Li An's film "Lust, Caution" has extremely problematic content, but it's amazing that it passed censorship in China.

In the future, whether making commercial or art films, Wang Xuan will definitely not pursue Western values ​​or cater to their standards of judgment.

Western societies like to talk about human rights, at least on the surface, so let's stand on the moral high ground and try to hold them hostage.

The bell rang suddenly, interrupting Wang Xuan's thoughts. The teacher didn't extend the class; he packed up his textbook and left.

"Wang Xuan, pay attention in class! You've been spacing out the whole time."

The person who teased Wang Xuan was Chai Biyun, a native of Shaanxi, who is a beautiful woman with a very outgoing personality.

"How can being engrossed in studying be called being distracted?" Wang Xuan argued with a smile.

I know a bit about her; she has a wide range of roles, handling period dramas, historical dramas, and modern dramas, but she's not very popular.

"Could you teach your learning method to your older sister?"

Chai Biyun put her hand on Wang Xuan's shoulder and asked questions as they walked, completely ignoring the stares of the other students.

"Can you be mindful of the situation? I still need to find a girlfriend." Wang Xuan said, but he didn't pull her arm away.

"If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Chai Biyun patted her chest and said, "Besides, I'm single too. You're the one who's getting the better deal, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan stopped and said with a smile, "I never take advantage of others, but do you want to know why you're single?"

"Why?" Chai Biyun asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Wang Xuan's gaze moved downwards and settled on her barren chest; that was the main reason.

Chai Biyun noticed Wang Xuan's gaze, angrily glared at him, and crossed her arms: "Shallow rogue."

After saying that, she ran away with a blush on her face.

"Tian Tian, ​​wait for me."

Jing Tian, ​​who was walking ahead, stopped and waited for her fellow villager. Noticing that Chai Biyun's cheeks were flushed, she asked curiously:

"Biyun, why is your face so red?"

"Oh! Is that so?"

Chai Biyun touched her face; it was indeed a little hot. She certainly couldn't say she'd been looked down upon, so she changed the subject:

What's for dinner at the cafeteria today?

Chai Biyun pulled Jing Tian's arm and walked forward, not giving her a chance to ask any more questions.

Watching the departing figure, Wang Xuan smiled and shook his head; he didn't deny his own shallowness.

···

After attending classes in a routine manner for a week, Wang Xuan became somewhat anxious.

The intermediary has been silent for a long time. Does JD.com not realize the importance of the domain name? That doesn't make sense.

As the second most powerful man in Jiangdong after Xiang Yu, Liu Qiangdong's ability to build JD.com into a Fortune Global 500 company certainly demonstrates his strategic vision.

The importance of a domain name to a website is self-evident, and Wang Xuan believed that the other party would definitely buy it; it was mostly just a matter of price.

Just as Wang Xuan was puzzled, he received a call from the agent, who immediately brought good news.

"Hello Mr. Wang, JD.com is very interested in the jd.com domain name, but they are only willing to offer one million yuan."

Huang Zhong's voice trembled slightly as he watched helplessly as something worth less than 2 yuan could be resold for a hundredfold profit with just a nod of approval.

I knew some domain names were valuable, but I never imagined they could be so incredibly profitable.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the price: "Negotiate at the price I offered, and tell them I'll use it myself if they can't afford it."

Selling it to JD.com for 250 million is a steal.

He's short of money right now, otherwise he would have held onto it for years. According to media reports at the time, JD.com spent 40 million yuan to acquire it.

···

The next day, Wang Xuan received another call from the agent; the price had been agreed upon.

I don't know how they negotiated, but I guess JD.com realized the importance of the domain name, and after some haggling, they settled on a price of 260 million.

This is not a small amount, and both parties need to sign a transfer agreement in person.

When Wang Xuan returned to the agency, he received an incredibly warm welcome.

Putting aside the fact that they earned a brokerage fee, their strategy of buying low and selling high is enough to be considered a classic case study for the company.

Although it may not be of much value, it has a unique perspective.

The transfer agreement was signed, and the money arrived in my account immediately.

At this time, domain name transactions were not subject to taxes, and the intermediary fee was paid by the buyer, who did not need to worry about it.

Amidst the adoring gazes of the real estate agents, Wang Xuan left with a huge sum of money.

This amount of money is certainly not much for film investment, but it's not a small amount either. There are ways to make a film even with a small budget.

As for what to film, Wang Xuan needs to think it over carefully. Having invested in films before, he has seen countless movies.

He has watched both domestic and international art films and commercial films, with well-known directors and actors, including serious films and films intended for learning.

Wang Xuan racked his brains all night and finally remembered that a low-budget film would be perfect, and if made well, it could even win international awards.

These days, the film and television industry still values ​​awards. Having awards makes you speak more confidently.
