Haitao sat in his office and looked out of the glass window. The office area outside was empty. The employees had left long ago. There was no future for him, a boss who owed him three months of salary. The sooner he lost his job and found a job, the better it would be than wasting his time here.
Huayu Film Company was originally a medium-sized film company in Hangzhou. Compared to the giants of the industry such as Media Asia Film Company, Emperor Film Company, Celestial Star Film Company, Huanyu Film Company, Long Film Company, and Hua Film Company, Huayu Film Company was just a small fish struggling to survive in the cracks. In the past few years, Huayu Film Company had actually developed quite well. They had produced a few low-budget films that had box office sales of more than 50 million yuan. They had made a few profits and gradually made a name for themselves in Hong Kong. However, now, it had become a ruin.
Li Haitao was a person who loved movies. His father was a movie projectionist. He had spent his childhood with his father in the film studio. When other children were still playing in the park, he had already started to understand the basic theory of movies. His dream was to be a great actor, but he soon realized that he was not handsome enough, and his appearance was not special. So he changed his goal halfway, and that was to become a great director like Long Qihai. However, he soon realized that he had no talent in this area. He couldn't even take good photos. He couldn't be an actor or a director, and he didn't want to be a film runner like his father, but he loved movies from the bottom of his heart. He felt that only by doing this kind of work would he not waste his life. Haitao decided that he wanted to be the boss of a film company. It had to be said that Haitao's initial venture was quite successful. He started with a small budget movie and used small to win big. He obtained a few investments and bought a good script from an unknown screenwriter. Then, he found a depressed director and a few C-list actors. In Hangzhou, he didn't dare to say anything else, but if he found a screenwriter, director, or actor who hadn't made a name for himself, there were plenty of them. Perhaps you might meet a homeless man on the streets of Hangzhou, and he might be a director.
Fortunately, he succeeded. His company's first movie had earned more than 43 million yuan at the box office with a low budget of 3 million yuan. This movie had earned Huayu more than 20 million yuan in profit and also made Huayu quite famous in the Hong Kong film industry. Many frustrated screenwriters, directors, and actors came to Huayu in search of a breakthrough. Haitao Li picked out many talented people from them and shot a few low-budget movies in succession, all of which received good box office sales. Two years later, with Haitao's hard work, Huayu's market price rose from the initial 5 million to more than 140 million. Many people saw it as a new star in the film industry.
At this time, Hua Shi Film Company also took a fancy to Huayu and wanted to acquire it. However, Haitao didn't agree to it. He even had a falling out with Hua Films. Hua Shi Film Company even warned him that they would make him regret it. At first, Haitao was worried about Hua Films 'revenge. After all, anyone who messed with an aircraft carrier like this would feel uneasy. However, after a month, Huayu didn't suffer any attacks, and Hua Family didn't take revenge either. Haitao thought that the incident was over, and the Hua Family people were probably just angry at him.
After that, Haitao met a woman on his way home. Haitao fell in love at first sight. Under his relentless pursuit, he finally won her heart. Haitao, who had achieved success in both his career and love, thought that he was the happiest person in the world.
It was because things were going so smoothly that Haitao felt like he had gotten what he wanted, and his ambitions were getting bigger. Everyone knew that blockbusters were the king of movies. With over a hundred million invested, an A-list star leading the way, a big scene, a big production, and a big box office. Only by making a few of these movies could Huayu compete with the industry giants and even become one of the top film companies in Hangzhou and Hong Kong.
As a company's decision-maker, his thinking wasn't wrong. If he continued to invest in the low-budget films that Huayu was good at, he might still be able to make a lot of money. However, the success of the past few years had made Haitao a little confident. It even gave him the illusion that as long as he did it, he would definitely succeed.
Therefore, Haitao decided to make a big deal out of it. He wanted to invest in a commercial film.
Of course, his confidence was inflated, but his rigorous personality still made careful preparations for this movie, not blindly shooting it. Haitao spent a month researching the market to see what kind of movies the audience liked. Then, he spent a lot of money to hire a famous screenwriter to write a script based on the audience's requirements. He went to the bank to borrow 100 million yuan, plus the original 100 million yuan in the company, and used 200 million yuan to prepare for the filming of this movie.
Haitao, who had a lot of money, hired a famous director from Hangzhou and Hong Kong, as well as a few A-list actors. Just these alone cost nearly 40 million yuan. However, Haitao didn't feel any heartache. The fame of the director and actors would attract more viewers, and the money would be earned back. As a decision-maker, Haitao was very bold.
Everything went according to plan, and the filming went smoothly. Just as the filming was about to be completed, Haitao received a court summons, claiming that Huayu had violated the copyright. It turned out that the woman Haitao met was sent by Hua Shi. She stole the script when Haitao wasn't paying attention, and Hua Shi secretly started filming ahead of time. Huayu only filed a lawsuit when the movie was about to be finished, so that Haitao would spend all the money for the movie.
The lawsuit went on for more than a month before Huayu lost. Not only did they have to compensate Hua shi 10 million yuan, but they also owed the bank 100 million yuan. The funds for the filming were spent again, and the movie could not be released. In the end, Huayu went bankrupt.
Hate that woman? Maybe. Haitao opened the window. This was the ninth floor. He had made up his mind to jump down from here and end his short and regretful life. There was nothing left in this world. Instead of living like a dog with a huge debt, he might as well end it all. The only thing he was unwilling to do was not complete his dream of making a movie, but it did not matter now.
He stood on the windowsill, closed his eyes, and was about to jump down. At this time, a delicate voice came from outside the door." Is there anyone here?”
Haitao turned around and saw a young boy with a confident smile on his handsome face. Haitao's tone was a little gentler." Little student, what are you doing here? Get down."”
Qin Long walked in and said with a smile," I heard that this company is going bankrupt, so I came to take a look.”
Haitao's face turned ugly. Whose child was this? How rude was he? Didn't he see that he was going to jump off the building? Why did he bring this up?? Haitao said angrily," So what? Leave after you're done."”
"How can I leave? I still have something to discuss with the person in charge of this company.”Qin Long said with a calm smile.
"I'm the person in charge of this company. What do you want to talk about?”Haitao asked curiously.
"I can help you solve your current predicament.”
"Settled?" Haitao found it funny. A 17 or 18 year old young man, probably still a student, actually offered to help him out of his predicament. Anyone would find it funny. "Little student, do you know my situation? That's easy to say. I owe the bank 100 million yuan. Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. It's 100 million yuan. It's not 1 million yuan or 10 million yuan. It's 100 million yuan. How are you going to help me settle it?”At the end of his sentence, he roared.
"100 million. Yes, although it's a little too much, it's still within the acceptable range.”Haitao was stunned." 100 million is a bit too much, but it's still within the acceptable range?" This young man's tone was really arrogant. The huge sum of money that forced him into a dead end was casually mentioned by him as if it was no different from a hundred yuan.
This young man couldn't be a rich second-generation heir, could he? He wanted to buy a company to play with. In recent years, with the rise of the Chinese economy, there were more and more rich people. He had seen a few young rich second-generation heirs in China buy a few companies to play with. They were called entrepreneurs and businesses, but they only asked their families to give them money so that they could play. This kid couldn't have such a purpose, right? If that was the case, he would rather go bankrupt than let these rich second-generation heirs ruin his hard work.
"If you plan to buy this company to play with, I advise you to find another company. I won't sell it.”Haitao said firmly.
"Play? Why would I buy a company to play with? Do you really think I have money but no place to spend it?”Qin Long said with his eyes wide open.
"You really didn't buy it for fun. Aren't you one of those rich second-generation heirs?”Haitao looked at Qin Long and asked.
"Do you think I look like a rich second-generation heir? I really want to buy the company and run it.”
"Alright, you said you're here to buy. Since you're not a rich second-generation heir, do you have so much money to buy?”Haitao asked suspiciously.
"You should have heard of the movie 'Blaire the Witch', right?”Qin Long said with a smile.
Haitao nodded. This movie had been very popular recently. Even though he was busy with the company, he had some understanding of it. This was also his habit of analyzing every movie that was released. "Of course I know. Although many people on the Internet say that this movie is a real documentary, through my analysis, these are all hype created by the film producers to increase the box office of the movie. However, this strategy is very successful. Currently, the box office is firmly in second place." Haitao said confidently.
Qin Long was shocked. He didn't expect Haitao to have such talent in business, to be able to analyze his marketing strategy. "Such a talent must not be let go.”
