The core purpose of the company is to become a sophisticated machine that continuously makes money.
Apart from the owner of the machine, all other employees are just screws. Even the most important employees are just screws on the engine.
After realizing this, Lu Hao began to consciously reduce the time he spent in the company.
In fact, up to now, he still positions himself as a "creator" rather than the "boss" of the company.
With the development of DreamWorks, this machine, or this work, has been fully formed. Although it has not yet grown into its final form, it is only a matter of time.
At this point, Lu Hao found that his sense of accomplishment began to decline.
According to the five levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I have now reached the highest level.
That is self-realization.
To give the simplest example, if you are making a movie similar to "The Sword Holder" now, no matter how much it makes at the box office, the sense of accomplishment will definitely not be as strong as the success of "The Sword Holder".
Lu Hao realized that this was a bad sign.
Because work still has to go on, his own movie universe has not been completed, the theme park has not been built, and even the DreamWorks headquarters building has not been completed.
But the fading sense of accomplishment is inevitable.
Many people who have achieved financial freedom often go to several extremes when they reach this point.
One extreme is to turn to religion and philosophy in search of deeper inner satisfaction.
The other extreme is complete indulgence, living a life of debauchery and extravagance.
Of course, there are also those who regard making money as a lifelong hobby. Once they have tens of billions, they want to have hundreds of billions, and once they have hundreds of billions, they want to reach trillions.
…
However, these approaches did not seem to be suitable for him, so Lu Hao had to start thinking in a new way.
I am only 25 years old, and I have something that others can't achieve in their entire lives. So what should I do next?
Ask yourself, what is your ideal?
Is to become a great director and actor.
But... now it has been done.
It is also foreseeable that from now on, the proportion of movies in his career will gradually decrease.
This is inevitable.
So where should the remaining focus be placed?
This is really a difficult question to answer.
Moreover, there is no future path to learn from, because everyone's life belongs to themselves and only to themselves.
In a sense, Lu Hao even felt that this was his own "midlife crisis".
The focus of life is out of balance.
…
Lu Hao has been thinking about this problem for almost a month.
Sometimes I feel like I’m in a mess. Why should I think about these things when there’s nothing to do?
But now that I have some free time, I can't help but think about it.
I should have new "works".
But now Xiao Meng is pregnant and he has no time to make a movie, so... Lu Hao decided to make a work that he can shoot at home.
A documentary.
To be precise, it is a documentary that is destined not to be released and is not made for the purpose of making money, but only to record certain moments of life.
The protagonist of the documentary is naturally Zhou Xiaomeng.
As for the audience, they are these two unborn children.
This idea gave Lu Hao great motivation, so he quickly took action.
Tripods were set up on the first and second floors of the house, as well as in the bedrooms, and filming was done almost 24 hours a day.
Although no filming was done in the previous few months, fortunately Chu Wen and Zhou Xiaomeng shot a lot of short videos, which can be used as materials for editing.
I watched Xiao Meng's belly begin to swell little by little, and it became increasingly inconvenient for her to move. Two lives were being nurtured, from being motionless to occasionally kicking her belly.
This process really made Lu Hao feel mixed emotions.
The birth of life is so great.
It is really not easy for a woman to become a mother.
This is the greatest work in the world.
Immersed in the material twenty-four hours a day, Lu Hao edited various clips bit by bit.
in this way.
Day after day.
Before we knew it, it was already December.
The second weekend of December, an extremely important day.
The 2nd DreamWorks Film Festival.
Compared to the hasty and immaturity of the first DreamWorks Film Festival, we now have rich experience and mature processes.
Counting on one's fingers, DreamWorks has really changed with each passing day in this year.
In the domestic market, although its scale and market value cannot compare with other first-tier listed companies.
But in terms of core revenue, DreamWorks is undoubtedly the number one in the domestic box office.
Its international influence is also growing day by day.
At the last film festival, DreamWorks signed and promoted nearly 100 films. Although most of them lost money, 30% were still profitable.
This is quite good compared to the 5% profit rate of the entire film market.
Coupled with the huge reputation brought by the movie "Swordsman", nearly 40% of the guests participating in this film festival are from overseas.
However, Lu Hao did not attend the opening ceremony of this film festival.
There is no point in doing repetitive things all the time. This is the instinctive thinking of a "creator" and it is also what Lu Hao has been trying to avoid.
The stage is so big, let those who want to be in the limelight do it.
Anyway, I am not the only big name in DreamWorks who can speak out now.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
