Hu Yuan's plan went smoothly; in less than half a month, he had brought back all those powerful agents and directors.
The process of persuading them was truly painstaking and earnest.
With manpower secured, it's time to establish a new company.
As for how to create a hot star, that's not something Hu Yuan needs to worry about; he just needs to provide enough money and opportunities.
At the same time, Li Jie brought back an entire team from Country H, including directors, agents, celebrities, and advertising endorsements—everything was brought back intact.
H country has always been a world leader in entertainment, especially in their ability to create stars, which is truly unmatched.
The directors and agents that Li Jie brought back were all well-established, and the brands they endorsed were world-class giants.
However, when it came to celebrities, he didn't choose those who were already famous, but rather a trainee who had been abroad for several years and a third-rate pretty face in the H country's entertainment industry.
"Mr. Hu, this is no ordinary entertainment operation. He wants to introduce a new aesthetic trend to domestic audiences. This move should not be underestimated."
"Sister Fatty, I trust your judgment, but you don't need to worry too much. All you need to do now is follow our previous plan and arrange for two or three young actors to debut. After my game goes live, that's when we'll show him what real skill is."
"Okay, I hope so."
This chubby woman weighs about 180 pounds. Although she is not particularly attractive, she is the strongest agent in China in recent years.
If Li Jie hadn't tricked her, she would be truly thriving now.
Fatty Sister is exceptionally capable, so Hu Yuan mostly entrusts her with handling matters related to the newly established economic company.
However, Hu Yuan had already designed the general plan.
Li Jie acted quickly; he took out his own money, invested in a new TV series, and cast those two guys as the leads.
Then the two of them got into a big fight.
One could only be a trainee in H country, and the other was just a third-rate pretty face, but now they have become the hottest and most popular stars in China.
The entertainment industry began to be thrown into turmoil.
Many people are dissatisfied with Li Jie because he quickly lowers the overall quality of the entertainment industry, but no one can do anything about it.
Of course, there are also some people who are happy to see this situation, believing it to be a symbol that the entertainment industry is beginning to gain social status.
Just as Li Jie was feeling smug, Hu Yuan's game development phase had been completely completed, and internal testing was going smoothly.
So, the game was deployed to internet cafes in all provincial capitals as quickly as possible.
This was the result of Hu Yuan spending ten million to orchestrate the deal.
The game quickly became popular in various internet cafes, but this speed was not enough and far from meeting Hu Yuan's requirements. The number of people it affected was also too small, only those who already liked to play games.
"This is the script, and I've already secured enough investment. Half of it will be from my own pocket, and the other half will be entirely from advertising by domestic brands. You can go all out to do it, especially you. You need to constantly think about how to make it stand out, and what you can still boast about once it becomes popular."
Hu Yuan called over Fatty Sister and all the directors in the company, and then took out the script he had prepared for a long time.
"Mr. Hu, if I may be so honest, this game is indeed developing well, but it hasn't yet reached the point of being popular nationwide. Isn't doing this a bit too risky?"
One of the directors asked with concern.
"These are not things you should be thinking about. What you need to think about is how to shoot each scene well, how to make the special effects and editing perfect, and how to work with Fat Sister to make the actors stand out."
Hu Yuan has complete confidence in his script.
Yes, this is a TV series script he adapted from a game script.
This is a new endeavor for all directors in China, so it's normal for them to be nervous.
The director, actors, and other staff that Hu Yuan found were all pragmatic people, and the TV series was completed in less than three months.
Such speed was so impressive that even Hu Yuan couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
Putting aside others, the director and filming crew must have been shooting day and night to achieve this speed.
To ensure quality, Hu Yuan personally reviewed the content again and again, and finally made some minor adjustments to the editing before letting Sister Pang contact various TV stations.
The process was not smooth, and most television stations were unwilling to try.
In the end, they only managed to negotiate with the worst provincial TV station, and even then, it came at the cost of a 60% profit margin.
In other words, after a TV series airs on this channel, no matter how much profit the channel makes, it has to give them 60% of the profits.
Hu Yuan even suspected that these profit-sharing demands meant they didn't want to cooperate at all, and were making excessive requests in the hope that Fatty would back down.
They just didn't expect that Fatty would agree out of desperation.
Finally, Fatty Sister personally went to Hu Yuan's office to apologize, believing that she had not done her job well.
"I don't think you did anything wrong. If you had refused this TV station, I would have punished you instead. Alright, stop repenting here. Get ready for your next job. You'll be busier and busier, and you probably won't have time to come here for tea anymore."
Hu Yuan is confident that his TV series will become a huge hit along with the actors, so he is in a very good mood right now.
Sure enough, the drama series quickly gained popularity after only half of its episodes aired.
The TV station was overjoyed by this and immediately approached Fatty, hoping that the actors could sign contracts with them to collaborate on more TV dramas and newly emerging variety shows.
Besides them, more than a dozen provincial TV stations sent people to discuss cooperation, and the prices they offered were all very high.
Fat Sister's response was consistent: the actors' work will be carried out according to the company's arrangements, and she has no right to make decisions.
So these guys could only turn to asking who the company's boss was, and Fatty Sister gave the same reply: No comment.
The official explanation is that the boss prefers peace and quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed by others.
Of course, Hu Yuan's identity couldn't be hidden forever, and those with ulterior motives soon found out. However, Hu Yuan ignored them completely, saying that he didn't care about the company's affairs and was just a figurehead.
By performing this set of Tai Chi movements, they effectively rejected all the overtures from television stations without openly offending anyone.
Upon seeing this situation, Li Jie immediately launched his own plan to continue producing similar TV series, intending to win by sheer volume.
