How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 7 General Manager Huang

Besides, the one dating Wang Xiaoshuang was the previous incarnation. What does that have to do with him, Wang Xiaohao, this time traveler?

He has no problem at all!

Huang Anzhong expressed his satisfaction, patted Wang Xiaohao on the shoulder, and said, "Do a good job! The funds will be in place soon, and I will send someone to be your producer!"

By the way, have you found enough people for your film crew?

If not, I can introduce you to a few!

Wang Xiaohao said gratefully, "That's wonderful! Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I'll definitely help you make money this time!"

Huang An and the others laughed heartily, and after giving Wang Xiaohao a few more words of encouragement, they let him leave.

As the door closed, I could vaguely hear Wang Xiaoshuang pleading with Mr. Huang, "I've helped you so much, so please let my mom handle the production..."

Wang Xiaohao wondered to himself, could this be Wang Xiaoshuang's sugar daddy?

Just who exactly is this Mr. Huang?

Is it really possible to spend tens of millions to promote Wang Xiaoshuang with just a few words?

How rich must this guy be?

Or is it just a lot of idiots?

So Wang Xiaohao left the studio and made a call to Ding Binbai: "Have someone investigate what exactly is going on with President Huang An?"

The entertainment industry is a murky place!

To avoid drowning, you need to be aware of your surroundings.

Soon, when Wang Xiaohao returned home, Ding Binbai had already investigated some of the situation.

We live in the information age; for a fee, many things can be investigated.

Later on, there were even professional information search companies and websites.

Since Wang Xiaohao asked Ding Binbai to investigate, he must have paid him.

So as soon as he got home, Ding Binbai said:

I've already found out about Zhongren Entertainment. It's a company in Cangnan. Although it's called an entertainment company, it mainly makes pornographic films. So it's in the same industry as us.

However, they are much more powerful than us; they have a deep relationship with Cangnan TV. They are able to consistently obtain various businesses from Cangnan TV!

By the way, it seems that this entertainment company, Zhongren Entertainment, has also invested in a lot of TV dramas.

However, they themselves have never acted in a TV series!

Wang Xiaohao immediately understood and chuckled, "Those dramas are probably all airing on Cangnan TV, right?"

Ding Binbai chuckled, the answer being entirely self-evident.

Alright!

That's about enough information if you investigate to this extent.

I know that this Mr. Huang Anzhong has a very strong background and is very capable!

Anyway, as long as you know that Cangnan TV is a top-tier television station in China, it has a strong influence in the entertainment industry.

The fact that they can consistently secure various business from Cangnan TV must indicate an extraordinary relationship!

At this moment, Ding Binbai suddenly reminded Wang Xiaohao: "I remember that Wang Xiaoshuang debuted on Monkey TV, right?"

Do you think this has anything to do with the entertainment of those people?

Wang Xiaohao shook his head, a thought suddenly occurring to him, and he began to understand Wang Xiaoshuang's network of connections.

If things go as expected, then Wang Xiaoshuang should be connected to the entertainment industry.

Or perhaps you were spotted by someone and thus had the opportunity to debut through a talent show and become a glamorous superstar.

Ding Binbai was just saying it casually; he never intended for Wang Xiaohao to answer.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "I wonder when the funds will arrive!"

Wang Xiaohao couldn't answer this question either, and could only sigh, "More than ten million yuan! Where can you get it so easily? Let's just wait and see!"

Since Mr. Huang has come forward today, it means things are on track.

Let's just keep waiting!

Ding Binbai, however, felt uneasy and said, "What exactly is this General Manager Huang thinking? Making a movie is so risky!"

Someone like Mr. Huang, who doesn't show off his abilities, earns tens of millions every year. Isn't that wonderful!

Why would you be so foolish as to invest in a movie?

Wang Xiaohao scoffed and said, "How do you know this General Manager Huang is using his own money?"

Ding Binbai immediately fell silent!

Yes!

Only a fool would pay for his own movie!

Besides, it's hard to say where all the money that Mr. Huang Anzhong earned from the TV station ended up, or whether it went into his own pocket!

Wang Xiaohao didn't actually care whose money he spent.

But then he began to recall Wang Xiaoshuang's words: "I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me!"

These words made him very uneasy!

He felt he was about to be dragged into some messy things!

But there was no way he could let go of this opportunity!

Moreover, and most importantly, this kind of thing happens far too often in the entertainment industry.

He can't handle it!

He decided that once he became famous, he would definitely cut ties with people like President Huang and Wang Xiaoshuang.

To avoid getting involved if they get into trouble!

Of course, if there's actually nothing wrong and you're just overthinking things, that would be even better!

However, when things happen in the world, if you consider the worst possible outcome, they will tend to develop in a worse direction!

Wang Xiaohao's words proved prophetic.

A few days later, when Wang Xiaohao was signing the contract, Huang Anzhong suddenly smiled and said, "I think your film's budget of 30 million is too low. How about 50 million?"

Wang Xiaohao's pupils contracted slightly, but he also dropped his playful grin and said seriously, "I need fifteen million to guarantee filming; I don't care about anything else!"

Huang Anzhong's gaze instantly turned extremely dangerous as he stared intently at Wang Xiaohao.

Wang Xiaohao's gaze was frank as he said, "President Huang, I have a bright future ahead of me! I genuinely want to make a great film, become a famous director, and date big stars!"

Huang Anzhong's tense face suddenly broke into a smile. He patted Wang Xiaohao on the shoulder and said, "Good, you have ambition and drive. I like that!"

"I'll give you twelve million, you take a good picture!"

Wang Xiaohao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, Mr. Huang!"

Huang Anzhong laughed and said, "Don't thank me, I'm starting to believe you can be a great director!"

As soon as he stepped out of the studio, a gust of wind blew in, and Wang Xiaohao realized that the back of his clothes was soaked!

"How is it?"

After getting on the bus, Ding Binbai saw Wang Xiaohao taking off his coat and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xiaohao said in a deep voice, "Twelve million!"

Ding Binbai's expression brightened, seemingly in disbelief, and he asked again, "What?"

Wang Xiaohao said, "They gave us twelve million yuan for filming!"

Ding Binbai was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

Wang Xiaohao was actually quite happy.

Although he had just made an outrageous demand, asking for 20 million yuan right off the bat, he knew it was completely impossible!

It's already quite generous of Huang Anzhong to give him 12 million in funds!

In fact, Wang Xiaohao originally thought that it was already quite generous of the other party to give him ten million yuan.

If we take a step back and offer him eight million, he might accept it.

In reality, the total investment in "My Sassy Girl" was not very large to begin with.

If we're frugal, we should be able to get it for eight million.

However, Wang Xiaohao is a family member and knows only his own family affairs.

He was, after all, a novice director, having lived two lives but never made a feature film.

During the actual filming, he himself wasn't sure if eight million would be enough!

With 12 million now, that should be more than enough.
