Yun Yan felt a pinch from Luo Hanxiang and shot her a reproachful look.
I just wanted you to pinch me to see if I was dreaming, not to actually pinch me hard.
I'm not dreaming. I heard your cry, Luo Hanxiang said solemnly.
Yun Yan:.....
I still feel like I haven't woken up. Let me pinch you to test it. As Yun Yan spoke, she moved to pinch Luo Hanxiang.
Luo Hanxiang quickly opened her hand and said, Be serious, this is reality, you're not dreaming.
Sigh... I didn't expect Teacher Xia's identity to be so terrifying. Now that we've discovered this secret, how can we tell our classmates?
Yun Yan sighed. It was fine before they discovered Xia Feng's identity, but now that they had, it brought a sense of melancholy.
No one expected it to be like this before.
What else can we say? We won't say anything. Even if we told them the truth, do you think they would believe us? They'd probably call us crazy.
Luo Hanxiang was also very helpless. Even if they said it, someone had to believe it.
Should we go and tell everyone that Teacher Xia's villa is huge and beautiful, and that penguins, Jack Ma, Old Wang, Lei Ming, and others work as servants for him inside the villa?
If we said that, we'd definitely be laughed at and called brain-dead.
Alas, what do we do now? Will we fail the task we were given? Yun Yan asked Luo Hanxiang.
If we fail, we fail. It's not like we were told we had to complete it. They were curious themselves, so they could investigate. Luo Hanxiang said helplessly.
Let's drive. Let's go back to the dormitory, whatever happens, happens. Yun Yan urged.
The two of them drove their vehicle down the mountain and headed towards Fudan University.
As for Xia Feng's identity, their curiosity had been mostly satisfied. It was too shocking, and how could they interact equally in the future?
Teacher Xia, forever a god!
..............
Fenglin Entertainment.
Old Wang was currently looking for good scripts to shoot a good movie.
An entertainment company without its own movies was definitely not good. Otherwise, it would just be a lot of noise and no substance, equivalent to just bragging without any actual effect.
Yida Pictures had once invested in a movie called "Detective Chinatown," a trilogy. This series of movies earned Yida a lot of money.
It was just that the reputation of the third part was not as good, while the first two parts achieved both box office and critical success.
Just like Marvel in the United States, it had a large number of Marvel series movies under its banner, achieving both box office and critical success, which ensured Marvel's pivotal position in Hollywood.
Therefore, to develop a company, it must have movies that are worth showcasing.
To have good movies, the first thing is the script, followed by the director, actors, and post-production.
Currently, Fenglin Entertainment lacked good scripts, but it lacked nothing else.
Mr. Wang, Director Peng, whom you invited, has arrived.
Old Wang's secretary at Fenglin Entertainment came to inform him.
Let him in. Old Wang looked up and instructed.
A moment later, the secretary brought in a man in his thirties. This was Peng Xiaomo, a director and screenwriter.
If you mentioned his name, many people wouldn't recognize him, but if you mentioned his works, many people would know them, including "Goodbye Mr. Loser!" and "Hello Mr. Billionaire," among others.
In terms of fame, he was indeed not as famous as those veteran directors, but it was now the era of young directors, and as long as they had good works, they could make good movies.
What Old Wang valued was his talent, his ability to integrate modern styles and memes into movies, giving a refreshing feeling and easily resonating with the audience.
This was also the reason why the movies produced by their team in recent years could guarantee box office success.
Mr. Wang. Peng Xiaomo walked over and called out courteously.
Xiao Peng, long time no see. Old Wang asked with a smile.
Old Wang had met him once. Their team's movies were all invested in by Yida Group, so they were considered old partners.
Mr. Wang, you are a very busy person. I am just a small figure; it is a blessing to meet you, Mr. Wang, Peng Xiaomo said courteously.
Yida Group held a pivotal position in the film and television industry, after all, Yida Cinemas were spread across the country and even the world. Offending Yida would shrink the film market by one-third.
In this era, it all depended on resources. Without resources, even the best works would be buried.
As for the old saying that good wine needs no bush, such a theory was no longer suitable for this era. It might have been applicable in the past.
Now it is the era of traffic is king. If you have no exposure, even your best work is useless.
This is why those young idols can stand still, shout 123456, and earn money.
They have exposure and resources.
Conversely, it is precisely the good works, good actors; when a movie is released, the number of people watching each showing can be described as incredibly scarce.
This does not mean that their works are not good; rather, they have more substance and deeper meaning.
At this point, you can't still say that good wine needs no bush, can you?
Reality will teach you how to behave.
The film industry is the same. It requires a large amount of resources for promotion in the early stages, as well as the selection of lead actors. They must not only have acting skills but also have popularity. Such movies, even with flaws, will surely not have poor box office performance.
Because the audience will pay.
Let's not talk about pleasantries. Do you have any good scripts recently? Old Wang interrupted Peng Xiaomo's politeness.
Mr. Wang, not for now. I just finished shooting a movie, and it's scheduled to be released at the end of this year. Peng Xiaomo replied truthfully.
What movie? Old Wang asked as a formality.
Because their team's productions were all barometers of box office success.
"Let's Celebrate Together!" starring Sen Teng again, is scheduled for release during the Spring Festival. Peng Xiaomo said.
That's great. It seems your team's box office is secured again this Spring Festival. Old Wang praised.
Borrowing Mr. Wang's auspicious words, I hope Mr. Wang can take good care of us then. Peng Xiaomo said politely.
As for asking Old Wang to take care of it, it was nothing more than asking Yida Cinemas to increase the screening rate for this movie. The higher the screening rate, the more it directly affected the box office.
Making money together is natural. Old Wang neither agreed nor refused.
Yida Pictures, as a commercial company, would increase the screening rate for whoever had higher occupancy, which would save costs and earn more money.
However, given their team's productions and the name Sen Teng, the occupancy rate would definitely not be bad.
Thank you, Mr. Wang. Peng Xiaomo thanked him in advance.
You don't need to thank me. Discuss with someone and help our company create a blockbuster for the new year. We need a good script.
Old Wang said directly.
Mr. Wang, I will take your instructions seriously and do my best.
Peng Xiaomo did not dare to refuse Old Wang's instructions and stated that he would do his best to achieve the best results.
