"Take the photos if you want."
Mr. Jin Ming waved his hand and said, "When you want to film in the future, just sign an authorization contract with my company."
"I feel relieved to hear your words, Uncle."
Lin Jingyu smiled broadly, "Just based on the fact that your books have been adapted into TV series, I could establish myself in the Xiangdu TV industry."
"No matter how good the subject matter is, you still need to be mindful of the degree of appropriateness."
Mr. Jin Ming cautioned, "Putting everything together at once can easily lead to problems."
"I will."
Lin Jingyu understood what the other party meant: "I've also prepared quite a few scripts for TV dramas, so there won't be a situation where the themes overlap."
"You've always been insightful and shrewd, so I won't say any more."
Mr. Jin Ming smiled and asked, "Your second movie is almost ready, right? When do you plan to release it?"
"Soon."
Lin Jingyu said with a hint of regret, "It would have been great if it had been released on the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately it can't be released then, so we can only schedule it for next month."
"Movies are shown every day, no matter what time it is scheduled."
Mr. Jin Ming didn't mind, "Plus, Yu Ze was in your last film. If the audience knew that it was a movie produced by your company, they would definitely go to watch it."
"Making movies is no different from doing business; it's normal to make money and lose money."
Lin Jingyu said calmly, "As long as this movie doesn't lose money, that's fine. It's a relatively lighthearted and funny movie, and the audience should like watching it."
"Ordinary people prefer to watch comedy movies, and they feel better after watching them."
Mr. Jin Ming reminded her again, "It's not appropriate for relatively dull and meaningful works to appear for the time being. Audiences are already living rather dull lives, so if you make some dull films, of course they won't buy it."
As for profound and meaningful topics, they are even less suitable.
The audience are ordinary people whose daily lives are relatively simple and mundane, and they simply cannot understand the meaning expressed in the film.
Ultimately, the current social climate is more suited to lighthearted, funny, and entertaining movies.
To ensure a film breaks even at the box office, you must understand what kind of movies audiences like; only then will your company remain competitive.
"Uncle, I've got it."
Lin Jingyu couldn't help but admire Mr. Jin Ming's unparalleled wisdom.
Because she knew that for the next twenty years, Xiangdu's films would only follow two styles.
One is a kung fu film, and the other is a ghost film, both using a comedic style to express themselves. With these two film series, they became kings and queens in Asia, becoming powerful figures in the entertainment industry.
It has also nurtured countless well-known actors and stars, some of whom have gone international and become international superstars.
It wasn't until the rapid rise of China in the new century that Hong Kong's entertainment industry gradually fell from its pedestal.
If she hadn't had memories of her past life and knew the direction of Xiangdu Entertainment, she wouldn't have dared to plunge headlong into this industry.
“You’ve always been intelligent; even without my prompting, you can figure out a way.”
Mr. Jin Ming stopped there.
Suddenly remembering another reason for seeing her, he frowned slightly. "You little rascal, are you free in a few days?"
"when?"
Lin Jingyu asked, "What kind of banquet do you have to attend this time?"
"There was indeed a banquet."
Mr. Jin Ming seemed slightly embarrassed, "I don't know whether I should let you go or not."
What kind of banquet is it?
"A banquet hosted by high-ranking government officials."
"Should I attend this kind of banquet?"
Lin Jingyu paused for a moment, then frowned. "Uncle, as you know, the British definitely don't like me. If they specifically ask me to attend, it's probably a trap."
"That's obvious."
Mr. Jin Ming pushed up his glasses. "You've caught their eye for a long time, but they haven't made a move yet because they're afraid of provoking your retaliation."
These days, if you earn tens of millions from a single film, you've already crossed their bottom line.
Simply paying taxes isn't enough. If you want to quietly make money by filming, you have to feed them first.
"They've got their eyes on these few coins I have?"
Lin Jingyu scoffed, "Sorry, once the money is in my hands, they can't take it even if they want it."
"Are you prepared to confront them head-on?"
Mr. Jinming couldn't help but worry, "You only have two choices: feed these invaders, or fight them until they dare not touch you."
"Um!"
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I want to try and see how stiff their necks are."
"Don't do anything reckless, you silly girl."
Mr. Jin Ming raised an eyebrow. “No matter what, these foreigners have quite a few men under their command. If they fight you to the death, you’ll be in trouble.”
"Uncle, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Be careful, it's best to be safe."
"Okay, I will."
...
Lin Jingyu returned to her suite.
Wait until the clock strikes eleven.
She picked up the landline phone and immediately dialed a long-distance number.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Jingyu immediately asked, "Senior brother, have the British high-ranking officials been wiped out, or is a warning enough?"
Did they provoke you?
Grandpa Qingfeng's voice came over, "Tell me what they're up to now."
"They have conjunctivitis and need treatment."
Lin Jingyu recounted the events, saying, "I will not choose to feed them."
Once is never enough; there will be a second time. Then, no matter how much money I earn, it will all end up in their pockets, and I'll just be their employee.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm acting together with Senior Brother Qingxuan."
"Are you planning to wipe out the whole team?"
"I want to do something drastic, otherwise they won't let me off easily."
